  • The definition of "filler"…and also "classic"

    "Superb"
    By BigDyno, Sep 08, 2011 Report Abuse
    True, this episode doesn't advance the plot much. But it's so freakin' good. It's the first of two episodes directed by guest Davis Guggenheim, and these two episodes have a certain edge to them that other directors haven't really matched.Jack drives around the city avoiding cops left and right, being a suspect in Palmer's attempted murder and all. Not much develops regarding this storyline, but somehow, it's still damn gripping.Teri and Kim call CTU as Nina tries to get a trace on their location, but it's all for naught. Filler if I've ever seen it. Awesome anyway? Yes!Palmer's arc juices up as Carl Webb returns and drops a little hint that Ferragamo's life might be in danger thanks to him. Astounding? Dare I say it—YES!We get an introduction to the next Bigbad when Gaines receives a call from his boss, Andre Drazen. Disappointing to see that Gaines isn't really on top of things at all? Sure. Compelling as all hell? YYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!Er—kay, the only thing keeping this episode at a 9 rating is the entrance of Alberta Green. A crappy character, but thankfully, she appears relatively late. So it's still awesome!We also get the first mention of some overseas mission that Jack participated in. This comes in some supposedly meaningless, filler dialogue between Teri and Kim to explain why Teri and Jack separated, but you'll see in later episodes that there's more to that little conversation. For now, though, let's concentrate on this episode, and on how ******* kickass it is.Hourly Highlight:Not to mention…Jack racing Ted Cofell to the parking garage and hijacking his limo? With some of the coolest music I've ever heard on this show? CHECKMATE!!!!!moreless

    24 is a hard show to review without giving too much away. I may not do such a good job of that, so be warned. I don't know why "filler" gets applied to this episode. I have to disagree with such an assessment as a lot of important things happen in this installment. Another villain is revealed, a new boss comes in to take control of CTU, Jack is running/hiding from the police while trying to talk to Teri, and Sherry really starts to make me mad in this episode. She goes behind David's back and sets things in motion without his knowledge, but it makes the Palmer storyline very interesting. Sherry Palmer's character really begins to be clearly defined. Gaines receives an ultimatum from a new villain, Andrea (Andre?) Drazen. He is apparently the real guy behind everything. Alberta Green shows up at CTU to take charge. This complicates Nina and Tony's assistance of Jack, as everyone who matters thinks Jack is out to kill Palmer.moreless

  • Nothing Special!!!!

    "Fair"
    By Dante_Edy, Jun 25, 2009 Report Abuse
    This was a filler episode, with little importance in overral.

    I don't know as the writers were able from the teri phone call, spend so much time of this episode. It was incredible like Jack was hidden under the car to avoid the cops, and even so he was able to speak on the phone, he have some interesting abilitys.

    Palmer situation seems repetive, because there is not another business to discuss right now.

    In CTU, nothing really happens, besides that new character that was introduced, and it seems that Nina has her own plot.

    A new Player or Villain appeared, and now this can be interesting.

    Other than that, this episode offers very few decent moments. Just a transitional episode at best.moreless

  • Trying to find Teri...

    By Parricida, Sep 04, 2008 Report Abuse
    This episode was little bit slower than previous ones. The start was good - all the thing with Jamey and back in CTU where Nina is now in control... but those things are not long - to learn that Jamey is dead and then that someone who does not look too playing by their rules takes over... and then ofcourse the thing with Terry and the phone... they have little idea where she is but still..

    The all thing with Palmer was quite not interesting... and then Jack running around and trying to catch that man... plus ending.. that was little confusing but I am sure we will find out soon.moreless

    9:02 A.M.-9:09 A.M.: Two paramedics give Jamey an IV, announce that it doesn't look good, and haul her out of CTU on a stretcher. Nina explains the situation
    to the rest of the staff, before ordering them to resume work. She gets Tony to call Jamey's mother to have her pick up Kyle. Jack rings Nina from inside
    the car to let her know that it's in his possession. He's stunned to hear that Teri had gotten through to CTU earlier, such as it were. He also needs help
    with directions, as the police have set up roadblocks around the entire area. She recommends he turn himself in, but he refuses, knowing full well Gaines
    won't keep Teri and Kimberly alive if he's in custody and, thus, of no use. Nina goes to work on tracking the roadblocks for him, then fills him in on
    what happened to Jamey after he mentions her. Things take a turn for the worse -- literally -- when the street Jack is on leads him straight into a surprise
    roadblock. He makes a hasty U-turn, then berates Nina for failing to catch it. She tries to find him an alternate route. Teri prepares to call Nina again,
    with Kimberly standing by the door as a lookout. Nina still has Jack on the line, so when the phone rings, she asks Tony to answer it. She puts Jack on
    hold and takes it when Tony says who called. Teri has no idea where she is, so Nina asks her to leave the line open long enough for them to set up a trace.
    Nina gets back on the other line with Jack to tell him, but just as she patches Teri through at his request, Kimberly signals that they're coming, and
    Teri has to hide the phone before Jack can talk to her. After sticking it atop a wooden beam, Eli and Rick enter. With the line open, Jack and Nina can
    hear every word of Eli threatening the women over the whereabouts of his phone. Nina mutes their end of the call, so she and Jack can talk to each other.
    Eli tears the shed apart in a fit of rage, but can't find the phone. While he's otherwise preoccupied, Kimberly motions to Rick where Teri put it. Rick
    proves his trustworthiness by pretending not to know where it is when asked. Milo has started the trace. He has a latitude, but not a longitude. 9:09 A.M.-9:13
    A.M.: It's on the news that Palmer is going through with today's schedule as planned, which includes an appearance at an elementary school. From the backseat
    of their limo, the Palmers have yet another argument over Maureen Kingsley. Mike is with them, and sides with the senator. Once in front of the school,
    they exit the limo, and are greeted by a screaming crowd of children and adults. Nina tells Jack they have a preliminary trace, but it's a pretty big area.
    She gives the broad location, then helps him circumnavigate the cops. Tony calls Nina over, after having sifting through Jamey's email. Jamey deleted all
    her messages but one, sent this morning to a Ted Cofell. It's encrypted, so Tony plans to work on that. But Nina needs him to find out who Cofell is, so
    Tony pawns the decryption job off on Milo -- who now has to do things at once (but, surprisingly, doesn't demand another raise). Tony's phone rings, he
    answers, and is saddened over the conversation. He goes over to tell Nina that was the clinic. Jamey didn't make it. 9:18 A.M.-9:27 A.M.: Eli and Rick
    have departed. Kimberly keeps watch by the door and signals to Teri again -- this time because the coast is clear. Teri redials CTU. Nina answers, and
    puts her through to Jack. Jack finally gets to talk to her, and says he's on his way and the others are tracing her location. Teri asks how long that will
    take. Milo says twenty minutes. That's a time frame that isn't comforting to Teri. Jack has to cut Teri off, as two cops have found him, and are ordering
    him to pull over. He pulls over, waits until they get out and walk over to his car, then speeds away. The two cops race back to their vehicle to follow
    Jack in hot pursuit, as Teri, Nina and Milo all listen to what's going on. A mad chase follows, during which Jack hides out in a parking lot, gets out
    of his car, and ducks under somebody else's car. The cops scout the parking lot as backup arrives. One of the officers walks right past the car Jack is
    under, but doesn't see him. Teri interrupts to ask if he's alright. Now that he has a free minute to talk, he tries to get more details about her location.
    She offers up a few minor things, and Nina puts Milo to work on factoring them into the trace. Jack promises he'll find Teri soon, and stresses how important
    it is that she doesn't hang up the phone until the trace is complete. After Teri says that Kimberly is there, he asks that she put her on the phone so
    Jack can reaffirm his love for her too. The cops begin to close in on Jack, just as Teri fearfully says that she has to get off the phone because the kidnappers
    are coming back. Jack turns a nervous wreck reminding her to keep the line open. She does and hides the phone atop the beam like before, but this time,
    Eli is angrier and more violent than ever, knocking Teri to the ground and throwing Kimberly into a wall in search of the phone. Rick attempts to stop
    him from hurting the ladies, and he's about to punch Rick's face in when the phone starts beeping. Jack freaks out; neither he nor Nina know why it's beeping.
    They figure it out when Nina notices the trace signal dying. It's too late anyway -- Eli has followed the sound of the beeping and uncovered Teri's hiding
    place. The phone back in his possession, Eli asks who they called. When he doesn't get an answer, he goes to the source, and asks Jack who they called.
    Jack decides to make the situation ten times worse for everybody by threatening to kill Eli if he hurts his family. Eli pushes past Rick, on his way to
    tell Gaines what they did. Rick tries unsuccessfully to talk him out of it by reminding him Gaines isn't going to be happy when he finds out whose phone
    they used to call for help. As Rick and Eli are in the middle of another violent struggle, his phone drops to the ground, and Teri grabs it to get in a
    few last words with Jack. Eli snatches it away from her, and hangs it up. He and Rick leave. Jack hopes and pleads that they got the trace. But they didn't.
    9:32 A.M.-9:36 A.M.: The cops locate Jack's deserted vehicle. Jack is across the parking lot breaking into someone else's run-down vehicle. After hotwiring
    it, he drives off the lot without being seen, then calls Nina to check on how close a trace Milo managed to get. She says within a 25-mile radius. He needs
    more help -- like Jamey -- and is crushed to hear his star witness died. Tony picks up; together, he and Nina give Jack Cofell's name and address. Gaines
    is sitting at his computer, trying to send another message to Jamey. He gets a call from an associate, Mr. Drazen, who's on a Lear jet bound for Los Angeles.
    Drazen would like to know why Palmer is still up and about. An uncharacteristically passive Gaines tries to talk Drazen out of voiding a certain contractmoreless
