Holy crap.. I feel like I've been hit over the head with a hammer.. This just gets better and better.

Can we try to only put content of the previews in the spoiler tags? I don't know what to highlight and what to leave alone. There's no need to spoiler out things that happened in this episode.

There were absolutely no "Holy Sh*t" moments for me tonight. I saw everything coming from the beginning.

I knew Marie was the shooter in last week's promo and I always had a feeling Sherry was dirty. Can Nina or Marie just kill Kim!

I'm wondering the same thing... As far as Marie, I wasn't surprised by it, but it was still a holy SH*T moment. As far as Mrs. Palmer...I admit it...I was taken in. The bitch. But at least Mike isn't guilty...yet [?]

Between this show & the X-Files, i'm NEVER trusting anyone goddamnit.

I'm betting that Mrs. Palmer is not really "that" bad... In the long haul...

She has a different agenda, but I don't really believe it is related to what we are seeing. Too obvious, too early.

3 more weeks! Freak!

I suspected it was Marie for a few weeks, so this was good to see her waste Reza.

Wow, very suprised to see Mrs. Palmer going directly against David. What's she gunning for? Does she want to be president instead?

Anyone disappointed that the show sets up cliff-hangers regarding a certain character in a tough situation that makes you expect something interesting or clever to come from it only to see it be resolved easily in the next episode in the first five minutes?

For example, when Jack drugged the guy with the water bottle in the vehicle to show Nina that no one can save her, that left me thinking that he might go crazy on Nina trying to get more information/revenge. But in the next episode that entire cliff-hanger is thrown away because on the plane is a guy or two who have orders to protect Nina from Jack. Why set up that interesting cliff hanger then?

In last week's episode, Nina has a gun drawn at Bauer that leaves us thinking, "How in the world will Jack escape this?" At the very least, I thought he would be a hostage for the first half of the entire hour. Instead, he gets away in the first few minutes of the show. And, it's rather lame. He just walks away. I know Bauer has courage and a reason to do this, but geeez, that subplot with Nina and Jack had the potential for very good drama and dialogue.

I'm just annoyed this season with the cliff-hangers having us expect certain things to happen only to have them be resolved anti-climatically.

HOLY ****ING ****!! What an amazing episode. I admit, I was taken in by Mrs. Palmer. But damn!!!! Even though I'd sort of guessed that Marie was a terrorist, i was still a little taken aback. This show just keeps getting better. Run, Kim, Run!!!!

I can't believe this show keeps topping itself. Simply amazing.

Only disappointment was the non presense of Lynne but I guess you can't have everything. Oh, and that scene with Michelle and Tony just didn't seem to fit.

But honestly, who cares. That was the best hour of entertainment in a long time

But it probably does have future meaning... I think Michelle is a mole, but the way this thing goes who the heck knows, CTU could be a terroist org...

And I think Tony is the cool guy for next season, so that probably dooms him as a bad guy...

Great show

I will post this again, cuz it bothers me, and hoping for some sunshine...

Why is the time showing up as 05:xx:xx??? It's 5pm, it should be 17:xx:xx...

Any ideas???

The Cow: They dont use a 24 hour clock, but a 12 hour clock? Did they use a 24 hour clock for the first season? I dont remember them using one.

Because they're not doing their clock on military time? I don't know why this is an issue now, they had "4 pm" last week and so forth the weeks before that...

Proof positive that Rupert Murdoch is close pals w/ Satan. If Ali and co. could get their mitts on Simon...carve him up, rub a little salt in...now that I'd like to see.

Good episode, but nothing that really surprised me.

I'm guessing that .

Great Episode.

I wasn't surprised about Marie, but I was totally buying Sherri as on David's side. I had seen the commercial and when Stanton got the call at the end I was expecting the masked voice, not Sherri.

The Tony and Michelle scene is what dragged on this week. It didn't seem to fit in with everything else.

I actually enjoyed the Kim scenes. She needs to run and climb on stuff more.

Figures the 2 weeks I don't have a lab at night $#%^#@% American Idol is going to be on in this spot. I hate Fox.

If Marie is working with the terrorists, you'd think Ali would recognize Kate, wouldn't you?

I'm more and more convinced that Kim is just there to fill up time.

I gotta agree with Groucho. They made everything that was going to happen pretty clear. At one point you've got to ask, though -- in a room full of these people, would it be faster to ask who's NOT dirty?

I was wondering that. When they revealed that the Warner family spent time in Saudi Arabia, that gave the connection with the terrorists. I guess Ali didn't have direct contact with the Warner family.

I wonder how long they were in Suadi Arabia, how old Marie was when they were there, and how long they have been back in the US. How did the terrorists maintain a hold over her?

It seems unlikely that Michelle, who now occupies Nina's position in CTU for all intents and purposes, would be a mole - they JUST DID THAT LAST SEASON.

Also Tony was the dark horse suspect last season and turned out to be a good guy ... he is doing an awful lot of guess work and interrogation (not to mention almost getting blown up at CTU) to be a bad guy. With Mason dying, Tony seems to be the next in line to take Jack's old job (and dating Michelle would recreate the Jack/Nina relationship from season 1).

For those griping about waiting 3 weeks... think about season 1!!!! After hour 12 they somewhat wrapped things up in case the show was cancelled. HOWEVER, since it did well they had to script and film the LAST 12 hours. I think we had to wait like 6-8 weeks for the new episodes!!!! Talk about frustrating!

BTW I'm beginning to wonder how many of you have seen season 1. I mean who DIDN'T see Sherry's evil machinations coming? She always seemed to have the answer when Palmer needed one (esp. in this episode). However, she (as usual) thinks she's SO smooth, but it is obvious from the last exchange with Palmer that he is SO onto her - that be-otch!

Holding my breath for three weeks!

• Quoth Groucho •<HR SIZE=1>There were absolutely no "Holy Sh*t" moments for me tonight. I saw everything coming from the beginning. <HR SIZE=1>

Yeah, the show itself has become very predictable, but the episode was the worst in that regard. I don't mean the episode was bad, as I was entertained, but there were no surprises. Personally, I love shows that don't have any real surprises ever, but when the show is directed to be "shocking" and it's not, that kind of annoys me. The second Marie showed up, it didn't take a brain surgeon to surmise she was there to kill Reza. I figured it would be more immediate, but then I remembered that all major events in Los Angeles happen precisely at the end of an hour, so she had to wait around a while.

Please let Kim die. Please let Kim die. Please let Kim die.

das

Yeah, Palmer is setting up Lady McPalmer up with his "hands on the shoulder" bit. He's not as dumb as he seems to be in some respects, and he does know his ex-wife well enough to notice that she's really too tied into the "network" to not have her own agenda.

She might be in cahoots with the money guys from Season 1.

Come on, das... you KNOW it ain't gonna happen! I mean this episode is a classic example... everyone in that police SUV was busted to sh!t EXCEPT Kim who managed to escape with little more injury than a fat lip.

Speaking of injuries... did Jack just pull that piece of plane out of his leg last week and just keep on truckin' like nothing happened? Yeesh!

Yeah, he's playing her like a fiddle.

Great episode. I cannot get over how much better the show is this season.

I think President Palmer is not as dumb as we are making him out to be. he is Giving Sherry Enough Rope so she can Hang herself. The president will not be stupid and get rid of her until he knows all of his enemies.

As for Marie, I am not convinced she is a terrorist. I think she shot Reza because Reza is going to get her father thrown in prison. As for who hacked into the database, that will show who the inside terrorist is.
