Side note: Graem, for all intents and purposes, isn't dead. A little iodine, and Leonard Betts will be back on his feet, ready to serve the streets as EMT of the year.

As for these episodes, they were better than the previous ones and I was glad that the Sandra Palmer storyline was off this week. Now if they could only do something with the President's story. Personally, wouldn't seeing Powers Boothe as the Prez be more interesting? The guy has 10x more on screen presence than Woodside.

So let me get this straight... programming this key is a very complicated thing. Complicated enough that a governmental agent working in counter-terrorism has to be kidnapped to do it.
So the programmer gets beaten with baseball bats, nearle drowned and then has a power drill run through his shoulder. He agrees to do the job and it takes him how long? 5 minutes? Maybe 10? I would think that this job, which is apparently so impossible to do by the average programmer, should take a little longer when one is in full health.... and after going through that much torture, it might just take a little longer.
Yet another reason that Monday night was an exercise in "how many ways can we screw up."

Yeah, when he was typing and was told he should hurry up or die, both my girlfriend and I said at the same time that he should tell him "Well, this is what happens when you stick a fucking drill bit in my shoulder you stupid prick..."

I laughed out loud when Morris quickly finished the program and the laptop beeped loudly. You know, the standard Windows "You just created a program that can arm a nuclear weapon" beep.

No problem, Buddy.
Oh, and I'm a medium size for that sweater.

Did anyone else laugh out loud when they cut to the split screen with Wayne and Lennox right after Assad warned Wayne that he needed to watch his back? The look on Lennox's face was comedy gold I tell ya!

I understand that 24 has always been a ridiculous show that nobody can take seriously when it comes to realism, but this season has just gotten too far fetched too soon into the season! My eyes may start to bleed due to the amount of times I roll them.
I hear about people who count how many people Jack kills. Someone needs count just how many CTU tact team agents die in every episode. Why do CTU tact teams even follow Bauer into missions anymore? How many agents does CTU even have in their disposal? They are all worthless, they never capture the bad guy, and they all die in explosions or in shootouts.
One final thing: DB Woodside is a horrible actor. Just flat-out bad! Why does he sound like hes whispering when he gets angry?

Hey, has Jack yelled "There's not enough time!" this season? I know he's said it in a low voice several times, but not yet with gusto...

I think Powers Boothe or even Ray Wise would have been better choices to play the President this season.
Powers has only been onscreen in 2 segments, but I really felt his presence as an actor.

They're like the red-shirted guys in Star Trek. Jobs must be hard to come by in LA.

Hmmm ... a man kills his own son and kidnaps his grandson and threatens to kill him too ...
Sounds pretty realistic in the 24 universe.
Last years first half season blows this years out of the water.

But so far, it seems that Major League Hillbilly had his fear and violence justified when Kumar turned out to be ACH-med, and now if the peaceful reformed Assad turns out to be playing them, it will only reenforce that ideal. "They're all bad, don't trust them. Kill 'em all." I, for one, think that would cheapen this show.
This week was stupid, but last week's gaffe was the worst.
Pops Bauer (as he enters the interrogation room holding Graham): "I'd like to speak with my son."
CTU agent: "Okay! You were a suspect until just recently, but you go right on in there and have a nice chat with your boy. Oh, and don't worry about keeping the door closed, we definitely don't have any kind of monitoring in the room, let alone a guard. And when he mysteriously dies with only you in the room and an empty syringe on the table, we certainly wouldn't want to impeach your honor by suspecting you."
