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

Tony Almeida is a bad man. I dont care if you think he is going to stop this in the end or whether he is doing the same type of mission he was doing at the beginning of the season, he is a bad dude. He is aiding the killing of FBI agents. Not cool dude.

Anyway, who would have thought way back when Tony and Jack were inseparable that Tony would one day keep the medicine from Jack when he is having a seizure. Tony knew Jack was onto him. Thats why he snagged his meds. He was just hoping that Jack would fall from the bioweapon before he figured out that Tony was involved. Ironically, they happened at the same time. As soon as Jack had the gun on Tony and was ready to bust him, he begins to have a seizure again. He reaches for his meds, but no luck, they arent there. Great acting again by my man Keifer.

At FBI dont you have some kind of secret speaking code that no outsiders know? It seemed kind of easy for Galvez to lure FBI to the apartment. He killed the FBI guy, stuck some kind of knife in the radio and began calling in orders to Walker. Too easy. I understand that Galvez was Starkwood, but still. They arent any confirmation codes and what knot?

Jonas Hodges gets the ultimate ultimatum! Kill yourself or I will kill your family. That "lawyer" gave him what appeared to be the red pill of death. Although Hodges swallowed it, he obviously doesn't die instantly because there he was in "scenes".

I dont know if anyone else noticed this but it was quite a coincidence that in the first scene, they used a look-a-like to impersonate that lawyer. Today, Monday, is National Look-a-Like Day. Thats pretty crazy if the writers planned for this episode to air on National Look-a-like Day. I doubt it, but it could happen.

There are plenty of things that come to mind when I hear the name Jack Bauer. CTU agent, Sharpshooter, Rebel, Screamer, Torturer, Killer, Boss, but Grandaddy is definitely not one of them. I dont know, but it kinda makes Jack sound not as BAD as he really is. And Kim Bauer naming the baby girl after the late Terri Bauer. But Jack has no idea about all of this. I guess what he don't know can't hurt him.

Rating: 5 Stars! Perfect mix of suspense, dialogue, action, and greatness! Captivating climax and a crazy cliffhanger. Gotta hand it to the 24 team. Great job!
