They've got a lot to wrap up in 2 hours:
1) The fate of Josh Bauer.
2) The fate of Cheng Zhi.
3) The fate of Phillip Bauer.
4) The fate of Wayne Palmer.
5) The fate of Lisa Miller.
6) The fate of Bill Buchanan(and his marriage to Karen Hayes).
7) The fate of Charles Logan.
8) The fate of Noah Daniels(will he resign?).
9) The identity of the person speaking to Jack at the end.

I'd say that we're all but guaranteed to know where Phillip and Josh will be at the end of the season, and there's a good possibility that Cheng will be back to harass Jack again. Everything else will probably remain a mystery to carry over to next season or will just be forgotten.

I wish I didn't go into every new ep of this season thinking, "Maybe it WON'T suck tonight!" As opposed to last year, where I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.
Unfortunately, this was another time-wasting hour. The people I watched tonight's installment with and I just ended up making fun of the show the whole time, which never used to happen until this "Day".
It's literally amazing how they've managed to rehash EVERY single plot from the first 5 years. Since this hour had nothing new or even vaguely exciting, I am forced to spend the next week wondering if the final 2 hours will actually be decent.
I don't care anymore about this show and am finishing the season purely out of commitment to seeing how it ends. I never could have imagined that this show would go from awesome (season 5) to awful (season 6).

Well, at least something happened tonight, although I must admit I wish they wouldn't focus on all this lame stuff with Jack and would get back to our lovable Desperate Counter-terrorists. Will Morris and Chloe's relationship survive? Can Bill accept Karen's decision? And will Brenda forgive Dylan for having an affair with Kelly while she was in Paris?

I actually thought this was a pretty decent episode. There was quite a bit of action and a few really intense scenes (I didn't think the spy would nearly strangle the girl to death). The ending was kinda lame and predictable, but still for most of the hour it was pretty good.
I agree that the "let's set up a perimiter line" is turning into the new "damn it" or "there's no time." Maybe we can get all three in the season finale.

And that was the longest sentence I ever typed.

yawn.The show is simply a bad train wreck right now. You just can't turn away. It is no longer, "I can't wait to see what they pull next" it's "I can't wait to see what they fuck up next."
at the perimeter. I thought the same thing. Yea! Another one! "Setting a perimeter" is the new "opening a socket."
The Jack I know would have told the stupid kid to hang on for 30 seconds while he handcuffed Cheng to the rail. You've changed, man.

Ok I have a question....If CTU was under lockdown how the hell did Doyle and his boys get in so fast? I know the bad guys just dug a hole under CTU to get in but doesn't lock down mean no one gets in or out?

Let's see: Jack's got to make his move against a bunch of heavily-armed terrorists, so who does he pick to help him overtake them? Why, Nadia of course, waify little Nadia who must weigh all of 100 lbs. at most. PUUUHHHLLEEEAAAASSSSEEEEE....
All I really wanted was to see Jack kill Chang in dramatic fashion up on that roof, the guy who tortured him for 2 years and kidnapped and tortured Audrey, but alas Josh was hanging onto a chain. Sums up this whole season for me.

Then we could've seen what Jack does best: capture/torture/kill Cheng. Or used to do best.
oh, and i loved the russian prez's deadline of..... 2 hours. GO FIGURE!

Glad it's winding down. I think the writers created an absolute mess of a storyline this season. The Phillip Bauer wanting to kidnap Josh Bauer and bring him to China thing is one of the worst storylines the 24 writers have ever come up with. I feel like I'm watching a bad episode of Dynasty or Dallas.
There was some pretty good action scenes, but even then that can't make up for the unfocused writing. I'm just glad it's over soon and maybe the writers can look at themselves in their war room this summer and say..."Damn, we fucked up this season!"
