I still love the show, but sometimes my wife and I are just looking over at each other and rolling our eyes and saying "rriiiggghhhtttt". It will be interesting to see where they take it from here. Where was Olivia tonight? I wonder when they are going to find the antidote for Jack? You know Starkwood has got to have one.


The Tony twist threw me completely through a loop,

Some of the plots are bothering me too, like the whole "President talks to a terrorist in the Oval Office with NO ONE there watching". It was so stupid and unrealistic. Where was the Secret Service? But at least it ended the right way, loved the smackdown she gave Hodges. I have to say it was nice NOT seeing Olivia after the last few episodes.

There's still 6 hours left, I strongly suspect we won't see the antidote til the final hour or two.

What I don't get is why Tony is doing this. He helps the FBI destroy the big stockpile that could wipe out millions probably but gets one LITTLE bioweapon that at best kills a couple thousand? It makes no sense.

It's always around this time when my head is spinning with everything that has gone on so far IN ONE DAY that makes me frustrated with the show. Marty filled me in last night about what happened. There are always things that make you go WTH - too many twists and turns and things that don't ring true. We'll find out eventually what's going on with Tony and I'm sure that Jack's daughter will still provide the stem cells needed, perhaps at her own risk and Starkman will have a cure.

I just had an idea, and I really have not idea where it came from, but is Tony maybe planning on using it for some type of revenge still? I really don't see the guy who helped him get it making it past the next show. I'm not even sure against who, but I don't think it would be the US.
Or is he stealing it so an antidote can be made by the US? :double: :double: :double:

Season 8 to take place in the Big Apple:

http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/04/exc ... 24-mo.html

The basic plot will involve a Middle Eastern leader who has come to the U.S. on a peacekeeping mission and well I think we can guess something will go horribly wrong. Jack will be back along with Chloe(and President Taylor I heard), and CTU might be back?! It's supposed to take place only a short time after Season 7 instead of years ahead like past seasons.

If the thing about CTU is true, then it will be at least a few months after this season. Obviously a gov't agency that was shut down won't re-appear in a few days...except maybe in the 24 world.

That was my thought too. So sweet.

Otherwise I found Kim's scenes tonight to be boring and pointless.

Olivia was the one making sense tonight! *faints*

OK, that Hodges lawyer look-a-like was totally creepy. Speaking of that, who knew the White House had a jail cell?

Watch out Tony! Jack knows you're evil. :slime:

Wow, baby Teri. Jack is just trying to protect Kim... she should do the experimental treatment anyway.


I don't like evil Tony. :grr: I've always loved Tony and when he left Jack laying there like that, I wanted to jump through the TV and kick his goods.

So I'm the only one still standing by Tony. . . . mmmmm, I guess so. . . I'm not ready to throw him on the s**t list yet. . .

btw where is Chloe, and why hasn't she beaten the crap out of Janis yet?

He killed the head of the FBI, told a guy to blow up a couple dozen FBI agents(including Larry's partner and Jack's newest friend), and then left Jack to lay there when he was suffering at the end. There's no coming back from that. He is SO dead.

When I first heard that he killed the FBI agent, I thought that there had to be a twist in there letting Tony off of the hook. Not after the end of last night's show.

Almost too many weird twists for me.

What is going to save Jack? Did I miss something in regards to that or is that why Hodges is still alive(another bargaining chip, knowing where the antidote is?)? Or does it have something to do with Tony still(I don't think so after last night, but with this show-well we are in 24 land). Or is the baby somehow the savior in this? See what I mean? My mind is twisting every which way!!!

I did miss Chloe last night. HHHMMM???

I don't like it, and I'd LOVE to be wrong, but after his actions last night, it's hard to believe there's a rosy side to this.

I miss Chloe and Janis is annoying. Maybe she'll say something really stupid that exposes her true motives, which aren't trying to stop the bad guys, then Chloe can take her down... Ka-BOOM! :P

Funny how I saw/see Janis as a Chloe clone, yet I too think she is a bad guy in some way and will be taken down by Chloe. That could be part of the lead in to CTU being back next year. Is Bill really dead? :?: :?: See what I mean about my mind twisting every which way??? :roll: :roll:

You never know. Janis would have to be one heck of an actor to be a bad "girl".

2nd week in a row I was on Olivia's side... until the end. While I agreed with her point big time(seriously, Jonas gets away with everything? :roll: ) she just went about it the wrong way. She's her Chief of Staff! Supposed to be her most loyal advisor. For a moment there I thought she was talking to reporter guy again.

Chloe vs. Janis!!!!!!!!! 8-) and Jack's smackdown of Janis was one of the most awesome moments ever! :slime: Although he did say Palmer instead of Taylor twice(who's been dead for years and CTU was still around then). I wish this antidote would show up already!

So ummmm... Tony is working for who exactly? Who is this woman? I still don't get it. Jonas doesn't know anything? I'm confused. I did agree with Jonas on one thing though, the treatment of Jack at the start of the day and then after Mayer ended up dead was despicable).

Olivia is SO screwed. I knew her scheming was going to bite her in the butt.

RIP Hodges. :(

I laughed when they said they moved the First Gentleman to the White House for safety... ummmm less than 12 hours ago a group of terrorists INVADED the White House and the Secret Service was a total fail.

Rest of the episode was boring.

A bit of a let down. Final three episodes will probably be fantastic though.
