Can't shake Hodges huh, President Taylor. This guy seems to have the answers for everything. Taylor says , "You are in no position to be making ultimatums!" You wanna bet? Hodges had her scurrying about The White House begging the military to terminate the attack on Starkwood.
How about Larry Moss taking one for the team at the beginning of the hour. He took the back of a gun to the mouth so Tony could get out of there unnoticed. Seems as though someone is starting to gain a little bit of trust in Jack. Too bad it had to take Jack exposing himself to the bioweapon to earn it.
Speaking of Jack, he has been looking incredibly weak after being exposed. He is constantly shaking and even fell out on the floor and began to have a seizure. Keifer Sutherland did an awesome job acting out that seizure. I thought his eyes were about to pop out of his head for real. That was good. I also gotta give it up the writers for being able to produce great episode while having Jack on the sidelines. They are actually keeping Jack at his disadvantage instead of coming up with some miraculous way of him overcoming it.
With Jack out of the lead action role, somebody had to step up. Who better than Tony Almeida. Most impressive was his takedown of the two Starkwood men. He swung himself around that concrete pillar, kicked one of them in the back of the head while breaking the other's neck. I hear they used to teach that stuff at CTU.
It appears to me that Jonas Hodges isn't as much as a rock I once thought he was. He undoubtedly lost it under pressure. Out of nowhere he began pounding Knowles over the head and on the back with that glass bottle. Just relentless pounding. And just when you thought Hodges got himself under control, he launches him over the balcony sending him plummeting to his death. Wow. That's the kind of guy you wanna stay away from when he's in a bad mood.
Rating and Statistics
Rating: 4.5 Stars - Very good episode. Contained all of the elements that you expect in 24.
Statistics: This makes 2 consecutive episodes with no kills for Jack. Excitement does not lack, however. J. Bauer still with 25 on the season.
