Thoughts:
-- So...Manhattan is under the threat of nuclear annihilation, and the president wants Jack to take a break from trying to catch the terrorists so he can escort a foreign leader to safety? Conservatives would have a fucking field day with that.
And why does Jack "have to do this alone"? That seems like a fairly dramatic statement for such an undramatic assignment.
-- Hey, it's Christina Cox, one of my favorite hottie Canadian actresses. She looks better as a blonde, but I'm not complaining. I'll bet Jack's kicking himself for giving Renee a promise ring, or whatever the hell it was he did.
-- That speech was the first time I've ever liked President Taylor. Who knew a chick could be president? Maybe I should have voted for Hillary after all.
-- Last week, it was the unwelcome return of the CTU mole. This week, it's the conspiracy within the administration to save the country from the hippie president. It's depressing how many of the exact same beats the show keeps hitting year after year instead of trying something new.
-- Jesus, really, Jack? You're just going to leave Christina Cox there to die, because you have orders to stay with Hassan? I mean, it's not like you've never broken orders before. This was an awfully convenient time to start following them.
-- I'm a little bummed Fox was so quick to put together a "it's the final season" promo. Losing 24 and Lost in the same season? At a certain point, you have to wonder if there's any reason to keep on living.
Jack's confirmed kills: 6 (18 for the season)
Jack's Words of Wisdom: "I don't take orders from anybody but the President of the United States. Now move."
Overall grade: A-

They should've at least kept the secret long enough(including the movie stuff) that there could be some suspense for this season. One of my secret wishes was that Jack would die in some random episode, finally delivering the best twist ever.
