24: 8:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m

Thoughts:

-- Samir's alive? I guess I have to take away one of Jack's kills from last week. I can't remember that ever happening before.

-- I was kind of hoping this season wouldn't be like every other season, where it turns out the first bad guys were just pawns of the real bad guys. But at the same time, I guess I'd rather watch Jack take on the Russians than more IRK terrorists. So...whatever.

-- They're putting Chloe in charge of CTU? Look, I love Chloe, but that's even less believable than CJ going from press secretary to chief of staff on The West Wing. And I don't see how they can put the blame for everything on Hastings. Surely, every CTU head is allowed at least one mole.

-- I can't imagine that Jack and Renee smell especially good after the day they've had, but I guess it's nice that they're finally getting it out of their system.

-- President Logan! After this episode, I'm going to break out my Season 5 DVDs. Ah. Season 5. Who knew at the time that would be as good as this show would get?

-- Jack and Renee were knocking boots for....what? Half-an-hour? Considering that Jack's a grandfather who hadn't gotten any sleep in a day, that was maybe his most impressive feat to date.

-- If you're a cab driver, what kind of tip can you expect when a guy gets in with a bleeding woman and orders you to break every traffic law and almost get yourself killed in order to get to a hospital? If it were me, anything less than $50 and I'd be pissed.

-- Renee's dead, and we get the first-ever (and probably last-ever) instance of the silent clock two weeks in a row. Now I'm glad the show's ending, because if it went on for another season, they'd probably bring Audrey back.

Jack's confirmed kills: -1 (21 for the season)

Jack's Words of Wisdom: "I am so thirsty."

Overall grade: A

your jack's words of wisdom kind of made me cringe. post-coital jack kind of creeped me out.

Yeah, that was uncomfortable. If he didn't have a daughter, I'd almost think that was his first time.
