Vice President? Yeah, in on the plot to remove Palmer.
Jack? DUMB AS A STUMP. It's hard to believe that Jack has spent 5 seasons as the uber-operative, and then charges into the consulate on a half-baked plan like this.

On a positive note, nice to see Kari Matchett invade 24

It was good to less of Cloe and Morris, I know everyone has been complaining about their story the past few weeks.

I thought this was one of the more engaging episode of season 6 so far. I liked the change of guard with Powers Boothe bringing some gravitas to the presidency, and Jack getting to bark out demands for answers, never just once, almost always twice.

I have to agree that this was a bad episode. More poor writing, including how everyone has apparently been stricken with collective amnesia that Bashir tried to push Principal Wood away from the bomb.

Powers Boothe taking over is about the best thing the show has done this season.

This episode wasn't great, but infinitely better than last week's episode, if only because there wasn't a trace of the whole Cloe/Morris bull crap! Next week looks like a return to form too, it's about freakin time...

I thought it was a decent episode. Although why did the Russian dude have to leave Jack in order to make the phone call? Ok, the obvious answer is so they could drag this storyline out for another week, but it was still annoying.
Powers Boothe has about 1000 times the presence of D.B. Woodside. I just hope they don't take the obvious route by having him in on the assassination plot.
I was surprised to see Suvarov back. I do like how the plot is tied(at least in part) into last season's. And on that subject, please let Logan stick around the rest of the year. The new characters just aren't cutting it.
Sucks that they unceremoneously killed off Dr. Bashir like that. They could've really done something with that character.

So no one is bothered that this season is just a bunch of what we have already seen in "24?"
Nuclear bombs, President's getting assassinated (possibly), people plotting to kill the President, Jack storming another consulate, etc.

I was quite surprised they killed Bashir so quickly too. What a waste.

I liked tonight's episode a lot better than the last few week's episodes, so it's a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. The preview for next week looks delicious.

I'm a huge 24 fan but, I am not liking this season very much. The bomb was cool but I didn't like killing off Curtis or Bashir. I'm still going to watch, just because Jack Bauer is still a badass.

Who's the actor who shot that Russian guy making the call to Buchanon? I recognize him from a movie (I can even visualize a part of a scene) but I can't remember what movie it was...
As for the episode, it's a step up from previous eps, but still was only OK. I agree that Powers Booth has a ton more screen presence and my concern isn't over whether he's a part of the assassination conspiracy (although I don't think he is, I think he's pushing the Bashir story so he can implement that order), it's when Wayne Palmer wakes up (and you know he will), and just in the nick of time before the VP's plan comes to fruition...
