Closing in on Kim and Teri.

9.0

By DexterMorgan2, Jun 07, 2013

In this episode Jack continues to evade the police because he knows if he goes to them he will be no use to Gaines and that means he will kill Kim and Teri When Teri was able to get one of her captors phone she phones CTU to start the trace but unfortunately they couldn't find the location but it was narrowed down a lot Usually the ending of the episodes ends on some kind of a cliffhanger that gets you excited about the next episode but the ending for this episode was strange and I am not sure what it means but maybe we will find out on the next episode.moreless

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

9.0

By BigDyno, Sep 08, 2011

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

Jack evades the police while trying to get out of town to find his family. Gaines receives an ultimatum. Sherry really starts to piss people off. (David and viewing audience)

9.4

By CjTl2005, May 04, 2010

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!!!!

6.0

By Dante_Edy, Jun 25, 2009

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...

8.3

By Parricida, Sep 04, 2008

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

- Jack's recap monologue is now different: "There are terrorists planning to assassinate a presidential candidate, my wife and daughter have been kidnapped, and the people that I work with may be involved in both. I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer. This is the longest day of my life." [The closed captioning still showed his old monologue, however.]
