The Following Takes Place Between 6:00pm and 8:00pm

Session 2 of the the 2-part Premeire. FOX and the boys at 24 look to leave us hungry for more by the time its over...8/7c FOX.

First Hour: 6:00pm - 7:00pm
6:00pm - 6:12pm

• I gotta get me one of them cool buttons that Hastings has got. That cylinder thing he holds up in the air to talk on the phone...
• So, his name is Davros? or Mike Farmer?
• Man, I thought Jack was bout to ball!
• You would think that saving the world about 7 times would get you a good word with the police, guess not.
• Well this Davros character seems like the real deal now. He is willing to kill anyone to get what he wants now so look out New York.
• This whole "cop killer" thing with Jack should get good. Good idea to write this in to the plot, 24.

6:17pm - 6:28pm

• Dana or Jenny, or whoever she is, has got some "little secret" that Kevin knows and that she doesn't want to be disseminated.
• Jack's getting the beat down from NYPD on steriods. Get ready for the first Jack Bauer Escape of Season 8.
• Davros is now on the front line of defense from the strike. He now has the power essentially do to whatever he wants.
• This Hastings is no good. You'd think that being head of CTU and all, that he would know that Chole is a mastermind. He's gonna be outta there real soon at this rate.

6:31pm -6:36pm

• Hassan! Truth-teller!....Hastings! Liar! Come on, man, its JACK BAUER!
• Will Chloe surrender her job to save Jack?
• FOX has gotta stop w/ the Bank of America commericals voiced by Keifer Sutherland during the commericials. All it does is reminded us that 24 is only a show and Jack Bauer doesn't really exist. And nobody wants to believe that.

6:41pm -6:47pm

• Its gettin dark!!!
• Jack is a beast! Chair to the ribs. That hurts. Way to go police officer guy to finally stand up to the big bald one.
• Reed's file contained construction plans for the UN building. A scomatic for a bomb implanted in the UN.
• So Davros wanted everybody to evacuate and he now has a bomb planted under the street.
• It is my specualtion that he will try to blow up the car in which Hassan will travel away from the UN.

6:52pm - 7:00pm

• Jack to the resuce! (again) (again) (again)
• Cole listened to JAck without direct order from Hastings. Thats the kinda of CTU agent I like. Too bad he might be dead. Wouldnt be surprsied now if Jack takes over as lead field agent. That would be awesome. But we still dont exactly know who is blown up and who aint. Guess we're just gonna have to find out next week......NOT!!
• One more hour to go!!!

Second Hour: 7:00pm-8:00pm

7:00pm - 7:13pm

• Well Hassan was saved. Davros has been killed BY JACK! Hassan's brother has escaped.
• It looks like Rene Walker will be back after a "resignation due to internal affairs." Most likely she was fired after she tortured Alan Wilson after the conclusion of Day 7.
• Rene will analyze that tattoos found on all three of the conspirators.
• Chloe finally gettin some respect from Brian Hastings. That no good director. Chole's right, Hassan shouldnt be thanking Hastings. If it werent for Chloe, Cole, and Jack, dude would be scattered across the streets of NYC by now.

7:17pm - 7:22pm

• Hassan agrees to "con-tin-ue" with the treaty signing.
• Poor Jack still thinks he's gonna end up in LA. He should know by now Jack doesnt do 8 hour plane rides on 24.
• Jack tell Chloe to not tell Renee that he is here.
• Dead Victor is omitting radioactive nuclear material and Hassan says he knows why. He requests to talk to Hastings...

7:27pm - 7:35pm

• U235 (weapons grade uranium) was exposed to Victor.
• Hastings has asked Renee to go back undercover with the Russians and she agrees.
• Jack tries to get her to stop because he is worried for her, but she doesn't change her mind. Its obvious that Renee is pretty messed up from her interrogation of Alan Wilson and the events that must have followed.

7:40pm - 7:47pm

• Hassan breaks of w/ Reed to protect himself.
• Jack says FORGET LA! He decides he wants in on the undercover op to assist Renee. Renee aint too happy.
• Farar meets the seller of the nuclear weapon and is not willing to pay w/o proof. The dude shows Farar his younger son who has been exposed to the nuclear material. Thats enough proof for Farar.

7:52pm - 8:00pm

• Renee and Jack start their mission.
• Renne talks to guy in shop and Russian man cant locate Vladimir w/ parole bracelet on.
• Renee chops it off. Jack runs in and says THIS IS OVER!! Renee says she just gettin started. She tells Jack to cover the wound.
• Wow.

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

Well we knew this moment would come. The moment where we would have to wait an entire week to see the outcome of the events. Like usual in 24, the initial threat is over and now a much greater threat is iminent. This time, we are dealing with nuclear weapons. Jack and Renee, are supposed to be trying to acquire this weapon before it gets in the wrong hands. This time it seems as though Renee will be an obstacle as well.

Jack is on now. In all my 24 watching, its hard to think of anything better than an undercover Jack Bauer. Not only will he have to prevent a terrorist attack, but he will also have to babysit Renee Walker who which he seems to.....care for. We will see how that plays out.

Whats the deal with 24 and cutting off the limbs of Russians with a tracking device? This guy just had his wrist severed and if you recall back to Dredenko who cut off his own arm after a tracking device was implanted in it. Coincidence?

I liked that Davros guy as a villian. He had the perfect cover as a police officer which made his options endless. Oh well, he can go if it means a third kill for big Jack.

Speaking of Jack, He had another classic escape. He used his old trick of "playing unconscious" and taking his victim by surprise and took the chair, that he was still attached to, to the mans chest breaking his rib. Then Jack smashed the chair up against the wall, freeing himself, then using one of the legs to beat the guy over the head with.

What's the deal with that Kevin Wade guy? Someway, he is going to corrupt that Dana Walsh/Jenny Scott.

I wonder if we will hear from Kim and family again. Its obvious LA isnt in Jack's immediate future. I was thinking as I was re-watching yesterday's episodes and wondering whether Kim's husband could play some kind of role in this plot....Just a thought. Anyway, ratings and stats

RATINGS AND STATISTICS

5 stars out of 5! This show isnt even giving us a chance to breathe! Everytime you think you got it figured out you get thrown off-course. The suspense is chilling, the action is great, Jack is getting some kills, and there is that usual side romance sub-plot. The only other thing I could possibly ask for is an epic backgroung track from music man Sean Callery and I'm sure thats soon to come. And whats a better way to close out the 2 night, 4 hour premeire than with Jack screaming "THIS IS OVER!!!"

JACK BAUER KILL COUNT:

Episodes 3-4: 1 Kill (Last-minute save of Ortiz from Davros via two bullets to the chest)

Season 8 to date: 3 Kills
