Best episode of the best television show ever. I can't say enough how supremely perfect this episode is. All the emotions!
Such a memorable episode. Poor Mason, I'll miss him :(
George Mason is a god damn hero. Well done, George, well done.
Man, the exchange with Jack and Kim was so emotional and such good acting. The exchange with Jack and George was so damn good.
Palmer has handled things well, but he's been put in a very difficult position now. But the thing is, this is partially his fault for all this happening, due to his foreign policy not being strong enough. It was so bad that even his own high ranking intelligence agency members/leaders conspired against him to wake him up, and other countries took advantage of this and plotted against America. A nuclear bomb was almost detonated in a major city, and they barely avoided that fate. Plus, if one of the bombs was a fake, then maybe the original bomb was taken? So it's still out there.
Should America invade those other countries due to the events that happened? I don't know. Do you let them get away with it and continue to be enemies? Or do you send in troops to topple the government? Or just bomb them from afar? All morally interesting things with different consequences.
The plot of this season i don't think has been as good as the last one so far, but the moral complexity is absolutely better. This was a great episode. I was hooked with most of the plot and very invested in the emotional depth going on.
The funniest part about this episode is, someone, somewhere believed that Jack Bauer was actually going to die in this episode.
Also wtf is Hank Schrader doing here?
Kind of obvious? Rather predictable? Hell, I'd say! Other than when Jack was at the side of the plane while the bomb got put in and I thought that George would take off with the plane (didn't happen), or once we were seeing Jack place the timer in the plane, I thought maybe Jack would not get in right away and again George would take off with the plane (again still didn't happen). I did call it though with who I am watching this show with that George would be in the plane even though Jack was flying it and he will probably tell Jack, or make Jack put on a parachute and jump. We know that Jack lives or there wouldn't be all the seasons, also we know that George was already dying, makes sense.
Also of course Kim would just take off where no one can contact her to let her know that things have suddenly changed and her dad is still alive! Yet another stupid Kim move.
Well that was kind of obvious since the very beginning of the episode, wasn't it...?

Kate's all like "Jack!!" when she finds out he's flying the plane. Uh, what? The guy you've known for a handful of hours, and therefore don't even really know him? You're going to give some impassioned plea for him to not do it? Why?
The woman driving Kim was totally like "ah shit what did I get myself into" when Kim starting crying, lol.
It was a great episode, though. Even if it was rather predictable.
