Thoughts:
-- Jason goes through all the trouble of instituting these high tech security measures to make sure Chloe can't get to Cole or access any useful information, but he forgets to tell the guard in front of Cole's cell not to leave his post?
-- Jack sets up the meeting with Meredith at "Turner's Department Store," but at one point, you can see a sign with a red star on it, so it's obviously a Macy's. I wonder if the show gave them the opportunity to jump on board the paid product placement bandwagon, but they passed when they found out their store was going to be the scene of a Russian assassination attempt.
-- I'm torn. Jason says the entire Russian hit team was killed, but the last two were clearly just shoulder wounds. I guess I have to give Jack credit for the kills, but it doesn't feel right.
-- I can't think of anything scarier than Jack Bauer holding a pair of pliers. I'm not sure what I was expecting him to do, given the confines of network TV--maybe a broken finger, maybe a pulled tooth--but ripping out a piece of the guy's stomach wasn't what I had in mind.
-- When Jack said, "You think you know about pain? You don't know anything yet," how cool would it have been if instead, he'd said, "You don't know Jack"?
-- Between the rather graphic torture scenes and Jack cutting Pavel open in order to get the SIM card, I'd like to thank Fox's Standards and Practices department for apparently taking the week off.
Jack's confirmed kills: 5 (31 for the season)
Jack's Words of Wisdom: "She died in agony, which is exactly what I'm going to make you do. Unless you tell me what I want to know."
Overall grade: B+
