Synopsis:



This is episode 16. We're in the home stretch. It's Starkwood vs the United States Government!!

16th already? Darn this season is going so fast! Quality does that I guess.

I don't know who to worry about more... Aaron or Speedle?

... and Jack has become a new kind of hero...

Ok now I can take a breath!

This show is amazing this season, such a great thrillride. Despite the complete ridiculousness of Tony being back after being dead, I'm really enjoying his character again. He was always one of my favs.

So by the end of next episode, Jack's antibodies kick in and slaughter the virus cells in him? Even Jack's insides kick ass.

Aside from Jack's disappearing and reappearing scars and tattoos, this was another solid episode. It was obvious Slater from Dazed and Confused was playing Tony from the beginning, but it was still a cool reveal all the same.

This season is kicking ass, but I hope they've found a way to extend the storyline for another 8 episodes. And a certain character's upcoming return better not derail the show's momentum.

WOW! The writers have done what I didn't think they would ever do. They infected Bauer! Didn't think they would actually make him infected.

Ahh yes, another tribute to The Rock. Choppers and standoff at the end. "STAND DOWN!" "HOLD YOUR FIRE!!!!" I was waiting for, "I CANNOT GIVE THAT ORDER!!!" haha

Aaron has to stick around now. He probably wanted to go fishing or play golf in a few hours. DAMN IT!

Joint Chiefs meeting was great as well. Dishing out the scenarios was tense, as usual. And that Sangala video that the President was watching was pretty creepy.

Tony getting played like that. I was played as well.

Bauer getting cock-blocked by the CDC woman, as Renee came running up to him when he arrived at FBI HQ. She was about to pounce him....


Great episode.

Great season and it's good to see that the show is back to being a great thrill ride. We still have a couple of hours left and I don't know where the show is going to go from here. It's going to be interesting to see whats going to happen

Another great episode

Even the non-Bauer focused episodes this season (like this one) have been thorougly entertaining.

I am really surprised that Tony was so gullible to believe that Seaton was true to his word and didn't have a hidden agenda. There was just no way that Seaton would all of the sudden think Hodges was a nut case and change his loyalty to him.

Was the guy that Seaton supposedly killed the same one that arrived with the Starkwood army and spoke to Larry? I'm guessing the whole thing with Tony was planned ahead of time with Hodges to give Seaton immunity and buy Hodges and his crew more time.

Annie Wersching was really good in this episode as well. I was really surprised she got so emotional with the news of Jack being infected for someone she's known less than 24 hours. I guess she has a really intense emotional connection with Jack now. Anyways, kudos to Annie for her solid performances this season.

The closing scene with the Starkwood army and the FBI in a standoff was awesome.

Don't worry about Jack. His Super Human antibodies will fight off the infection and he'll be back to kicking more ass soon.

Luds

LOL very true! Especially as she must have assumed that Jack was fine given that he wasn't in quarantine.

Another awesome episode. If this finishes well, I could see season 7 jump ahead of season 1 as my favourite.

Does anyone think there's a possibility that Jack will either die or be seriously incapacitated, to the point of no longer be able to be an "active agent"? I'm sure Jack will end up just fine. I was departing this yesterday with the a buddy and the only way I could see this unfold other than a full recopvery for Jack is if Tony becomes the central character next season which Jack as background ally. We know that Keifer won't be the star forever, what else could they do for this show to survive without him as the lead?

Michael Corvin

I saw Tony getting played from the get-go. Poor gullible ulliable Tony.

When little Sherri Palmer told him there was still a national threat I'm sure he was thinking, "when is there not a national threat, when Jack Bauer is involved?".

Oh and is, "the casualties would be catastrophic" the new "there's not enough time!"?

whaaat

I believe the new "there's not enough time!" is "It goes without saying that..." (goes on to say the thing that goes without saying).

chuckd21

They said that the virus takes about 2 days to become fatal. Jack survives this day, then next season is Jack's swan song. Plus, with one of the side effects being "delusions", you can bring back all kinds of dead cast members.

mphtrilogy

What is the end game now, Starkwood cannot possibly expect another government contract?

DVD Josh

They are probably counting on ransom money.

Between the end of last week's episode and this week I lost interest. The end of the episode was totally redeeming. Can't wait for next week!

CharlieK

Thank you! I could not think of where I've seen that guy before. Man, he really got into the munchies, didn't he?

tommyp007

you know, that's pretty good.

uteotw

Great ep. all around, except new "acting Chief of Staff." Come on...

rw2516

This Aaron/Olivia thing has to end bad for one of them. Either she gets him killed or he exposes her. I'm going for she gets him killed in such a way that the audience really, really hates her and she becomes the new queen **** of the show returning for the next season.

Shannon Nutt

Did everyone "get" the inside joke about the new Chief of Staff that the President wants in there:



Rick Berman! (Nice one, Braga!)

CKMorpheus

I'm betting on Starkwood having an antidote for the virus.
