sorry, i dont buy it. Tony and Jack are smarter than creating a secret plan like that without consulting the President. political cover is a stupid reason to create a separate storyline so the writers can fill up 24 hours.

"I'm tired of putting my ass on the line for nothing. I'm done putting my ass on the line for nothing."

Ted's dead.

What'd they say Jack's share was? $15 or $50 million?

I heard $15 mil the first time around. I can go back and check in a few.

little hard to be certain, but still sounds like 15.

It sounded like 15 to me.

Wow, I soooo wanted to see Jack put one between Chase's eyes. Pretty high quality watch/transponder Jack had on, pfffff. Unfortunately, I don't think we've seen the last of Ann.

AHHHHHHHH!!

Things that haven't happened yet, or are in the previews should be put in spoiler tags.

please put next week's preview in spoiler tags. many of us avoid it.

next episode not until Jan 6, doh.

Thought it was a pretty good episode. Explained some stuff about the virus. I still say this whole boring plot with the president is gonna lead to something big.

Oops, sorry. Didn't know you avoided the previews. My bad.

I hope Jack takes the money and kills the bad guys and moves somewhere tropical.

(WARNING IF YOU DON"T KNOW OR WANT TO KNOW WHO IS GOING TO SHOW UP DO NOT READ ON)

I was hoping Jack was going to pop Chase. He's become the male Kim.

I didn't really buy Palmer's reaction. He has a hard time deciding whether to shoot Jack down when he's escaping with a drug lord, but he's willing to punish Jack because, eventhough Jack wasn't really doing it, he wasn't kept in the loop.

I don't think so. In order to become Jack's partner, he has to be a pretty large badass, and we have seen glimpses of this between his seemingly stupid choices in the face of his lack of information.

As apposed to Kim, I think they let him have all these bad decisions to get him with Jack and show us how truely badass he is...I think and hope him and Jack have some great stuff coming up. With Kim, she is dumb to set up being dumb again and finally getting lucky.

In other news, I am dissappointed that Palmer's storyline is this seasons filler..

This is more comic speculation, but I'm covering all the bases...

Wouldn't it be a kick in the ass if Jack was really on the take?

So, Jack nailed Cloud-YA. My respect for him grows apace

Vaya Con Dios, disposable Federale. You join a long line of people who got dead around J. Bauer.

I like the misdirection the show has had so far. The story we thought we were getting turns out to not be the case. But, the rest of the show feels too familiar.

Palmer's scenes with his girlfriend are painful to watch, that plotline holds no interest for me.

The rest is good so far this season, although I do feel a little betrayed that the entire Kyle Singer plot was just a red herring.

Honk!

Imagine how the president felt!
