Then again, we could simply be easily amused.
BTW, das - the letters in your post make fascinating patterns. I'm just going to sit here and look at it for a few hours...

I thought it was a pretty cool twist, but I also am thinking "huh?". As in, why didn't Gaiel tell Chappelle what was going on? I guess to protect Jack's cover. When did this plot hatch? Just in the past few hours? Tony trusts Jack with a habit to go back into cover? What about all the people who have died as part of this plan (the DA, the guard, etc.)? And why wasn't Kyle Singer actually infected?
One way this kind of makes sense is if Jack knew about the plot ahead of time, and either he or Gaiel persuaded Hector not to actually infect Kyle Singer-- that they should make it a bluff, and Jack would free Ramon. If that's the case, there are still plenty of unanswered questions-- like why the heck Jack was so bent out of shape to find Kyle Singer.
Or, maybe Jack approached Gaiel earlier in the day and then they sprouted the plan that quickly-- but it still doesn't explain why Singer wasn't infected. Unless the Salazars realize it could harm even them if released.
The spoilers, unfortunately, gave away too much from next episode-- avoid all ads, if you can. Myself, I am weak.

I had to laugh at the salsa music and hookers. That was a nice touch. The obvious thing that could happen is Hector turning against Jack at some point and infecting him with the virus. Hope there are more surprises later on.

I guess I'm with the minority on this, but I thought last night's episode was weak. I just kept waiting for something to happen, and when the 'something' happened it wasn't worth the build up.
And there was too much Palmer in this episode, too. How many times do we need his brother telling him to ditch the doctor chick?
"Jack Bauer and Salazar are in a plane. Gotta get them."
"No.......well, okay. Shoot them down."
"Okay. Now, we need to do something about Ann. She's going to ruin you, David. "
**bangs head against wall**
I've only recently got into watching 24 on Fox. I watched all of Season 1 and 2 on DVD the week before Season 3 began, so it's all fresh in my memory like one long movie. I just keep seeing many patterns repeating and it's getting kind of old.
Here's what needs to happen, and these are just my hopes for the show but I'll spoil them anyway:
This season hasn't been that bad at all. Last night's episode did disappoint me, though. Hopefully next week it'll pick up.

If that's true, I will be sad. Anyway, she's annoying and reminds me of the kid in school who'd remind the teacher that they forgot to assign homework.

Don't think 24 is back at all.
So there is finally a twist......but where's the tension?
This episode was so very boring it was hard to believe that it's 24.
I mean, the damn airplane szene took forever......seeing Salazar "dancing" with the girls.....grrr.....we all knew what a villain like him really would've done with them
But anyways, that szene was just plain boring, I guess noone really thought that he will go and kill Jack that early in the Season.....so what's the thing to be thrilled?
The doulbe-mole thingy was discussed before and the only logical solution if they wanted to be at least a bit realistic.
Anyway, as much as i like to see Tony back it really makes me lough that he's already running around only 1 hours after surgery, lol

Actually, I was pretty satisfied at seeing her gagged.
Did anybody notice that, (for the first time in TV and movie history), someone (namely Kim) didn't howl in agony when the tape was ripped from her face?
Guess she's Jack's daughter, after all

So the reason that Chloe seems so annoyingly familiar was that she played "Chloe" on Veronica's Closet. Interesting. (Yes the show sucked, but it was between Sinefeld or Fraiser and ER and I didn't feel like changing the channel).
And YES, I loved that episode! A great twist that throws out everything from the first episode and starts afresh. This is why I still love 24.

Yeah, you have to remember that Andrea Thompson is a P5 Commercial Teep, not to mention the gift Ironheart gave her. That gives her a pretty big advantage when it comes to medical analysis.

I've been pretty disappointed with this season so far. As everyone has said: no real tension. But, I'll admit, I didn't see that ending coming.

Someone's going to have to explain to me the purpose of Jack killing the kid in the back of the plane and holding everyone hostage if he was with Hector the whole time??
Pointless tension building?

I liked the plot twist, but that's some serious creative license they are taking. It's almost comical how many "holy shit!" moments they put in this episode.
Jack is handcuffed to a table or whatever and still managed to take down the guy guarding him and get free. I'm not sure if he broke the guy's neck or if he just crushed his skull between his thighs
And why would the guy care if Jack's having a seizure? He looked worried.Tony hears about Gaiel and walks out of the hospital. I was glad to see that Jack isn't the only badass in CTU. But then...
We find out Gaiel is also a badass and he was still working for the good guys. I'm not really sure if this is what they originally had planned because it seems ridiculous to me that Tony would think that not even Michelle could know about this. Gael put himself at risk as much as Jack did by breaking Ramon out of prison. He had a gun pointed at Michelle and Kim for crying out loud! I don't think Jack or Tony would appreciate that
I would think that Michelle and Chapelle should be pissed off that they were kept out of the loop on this one.
