    Worst episode of 24 ever. hide show

    This was the most boring, uneventful, stupid and lame episode of 24 ever. This is the kind of episode that could have been forgiven in any of the previous seasons, because one bad installment can't affect a great season. Unfortunately, this is the only kind of episode that the HORRIBLE Season 6 can produce and it's disastrous.

    An idiot teenager and the unoriginal World War III threat is all they can give us? Come on. I thought the 24 writers were so much better than that. I hope they change things next year and start slowly and then delivering good twists, because this year's beginning was very promising and after that, it quickly became a mess.

    Expects little more from last episodes of the season hide show

    Oh.. so, we are getting close to last hours but to be honest, after they got the bombs, the tempo has gone down and this episode does not have much motion either - it is a clear walk to the trap and even if Buchanan and Hayes do their best to help Jack and stop the exchange they get there too late and it all is lost - Jack's father gets Josh and chinese continue working with him - everything went as Jack thought..

    Ok - I most say the only thing exciting and unexpected was Chloe collapsing in the end. Where that came from?

    Slow boat hide show

    Alright! It's awesomeness time! That's what I'd be saying if this episode weren't so damn drab.
    Doyle and Josh wait at the beach for…the last fifteen minutes to roll around. Why kid ourselves? And Buchanan returns to help free Jack from CTU custody, after which they rush for the beach, suspecting that Phillip won't actually hand over the component.
    Now for the stuff that isn't worth mentioning at all. Karen gets into trouble for assisting Buchanan, but that'll only last an hour or so. And you can safely consider the Chinese invasion the final exciting thing to happen at the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit (do your damnedest, S7).
    At this point last season, we were facing the imminent abduction of the President of the United States (by our own protagonist, no less); here, the last hurrah shall rest on an electronic chip and a moody teenager…no season comparisons! Stoppit!! …Uh, the excellent music and split screen usage can't hide the fact that this episode is little more than a stepping stone. The Jack plot saves it from full-blown lameness, but it's tough to ignore the lack of tension, either in the script's development or in the World War III threat. Not to mention the stupidest ending ever. EVER.

    Hourly Highlight:
    Buchanan breaking Jack out. Of the SUV. Hey, it's still badass.

    One step closer towards the destruction of Phillip Bauer hide show

    This episode was obviously a filler one...Josh is taken by Doyle to be exchanged with the component...Jack locates Karen and talks to her , and manages to convince her that the orders are a mistake and that Philip cannot be trusted...Karen convinces Buchanan and with the latters help Jack is freed...Unfortunately they manages to reach the meeting zone to late ,and Josh is taken to Phillip...Jack then realizes that he may now where Phillips whereabouts are by following a lead concerning Phillip Bauer's company...On that moment i realized that this won't end good for Philip, and that he should have expected to be known by Jack...I eagerly await the final episode of the 6th season.
