--------------------------

"If your men advance any further, they will be fired upon." The best moments in 24 are those when the government comes face to face with and is overpowered by terrorists. This going to be like when the terrorists took over CTU in season 6.

Looks like Jack has been shut down at least for one episode. It is always impressive when someone can stop Jack from going berserk on their men. He is now infected with the crazy bioweapon. If the video that Pres Taylor was watching from Sengala was any indication, it's not gonna be pretty. It appears as though Jack will go down next ep from watching "scenes".

FBI: You guys got took by this Greg character. Although it looks bad, I can't blame them. The dude killed one of his allies to free Tony Almeida. I would consider that enough to consider his info to be legit as well.

I'm anxious to see how this whole Aaron Pierce situation will play out. Pierce is a longtime character in this show and he seems to be one of those people who is respected by everyone. That is until big bad Olivia Taylor came along. She is officially the one character that I absolutely can not stand. She is way too conceited and, from what I can tell, for no reason. Someone needs to put her in her place.

Rating and Statistics:

Rating: 4 Stars - a set up episode that includes unpredictable twists. A great cliffhanger as well. Minimal action, but not too much action is expected from a set up episode.

Jack Bauer Kill Count: 25

Episode 16: 0 Kills.

No Kills for Jack this hour. Something tells me he will make up for that in the near future.
