  • Just Listen to Imam Fulani's Said

    "Perfect"

    I'm Muslim person from Muslim Country. I love this episodes so much because of Imam Fulani's explained, that Syed Ali doing is not recommended by Islam, Qur'an, and Muhammad. Two thumbs up for that, good scenario.
    I hope, American and Western people will be understand clearly with that statement. Since this episode, i started to know that all producers of 24 must be don't have any agenda related to Muslim and Islamic Communities.
    Honestly, since episodes 1 (season 2) I was very sceptical with the point of view, because all arabic actors roles as terrorist. It's very hurt me as a Muslim.moreless

    They finally caught Syed ALi in this episode and it tis very clear that the writers wanted to buil the all packed - Syed Ali is caught, tortured and with his family threatened he finally talks the Bomb Location. These Scenes were good.

    Removing this, nothing relevant really happens, not even in the Palmer Plot administration where Sherry play with Lynne.

    This episode was intense. It was really good. That kind of 24 episodes I love. First the Jack storyline as it was the main thing. The Ali and his talk with that priest about his motives. Then Kate making the call to her sister and the way she acted and how Kate's father told about Marie... And then Jack making stakes higher and bringing in Ali's family and ordering to kill his son. On that moment I was so shocked. But it was and act.

    I most say I did not like Palmer's storyline. they have been doing nothing all time. And Sherry is annoying.moreless

    The interrogation of Syed Ali was so brutal and intense. Jack knew that threatening and torturing Syed Ali was not going to affect him so he decides to take his family hostage. This plan was so unpredictable, I did not see it coming for a minute because I never believed Jack would be willing to go so far.

    I knew David Palmer wouldn't approve of it, so I wasn't surprised there. I agreed with him totally, I was like 'yes, listen to him, Jack!' I liked his conversation with Mike on the subject matter very much.

    When Jack killed Syed Ali's son, I was gobsmacked. Actually, I was so mad that I even threatened to never watch the show again. But when I found out that the whole thing was an act, it made me realise how cleverly plotted this episode actually was. So far in the show nothing has ever made as anxious as that so therefore this episode is probably the most intense episode of the season for me.

    Quote of the hour! Jack Bauer: "The only way you're going to die today is if I kill you."moreless

    Jack Bauer's first threat of a bad guy's family. This is truly a landmark in "24" history. When I first watched the promo for this episode and heard Jack threatening to kill Ali's son, I thought to myself, "Cool." It's even funnier when you take into account how Jack's family was threatened in S1.
    Another reason I've labeled this episode "pivotal" is that Jack, along with the audience, finally gets the location of the nuclear bomb: Norton Airfield. This sets the stage for some great episodes to follow.
    Now you may be wondering why, with all my praise, this episode is only ranked an 8. First off, there's the Kim Bauer subplot. What, I forgot to tell you? Most episodes in S2 automatically get a point docked because of that. Plus, there's the whole meeting between Lynne and Sherry, which is horribly theatrical. I'm barely sure what the hell it's even about.
    But forget all that; Jack and Ali's top-notch scenes together drive the episode hellaciously. If you, for some weird reason, can only follow one storyline while watching this episode and must skip all the other scenes, make sure that you follow the mosque!

    Hourly Highlight:
    Watching Ali's son get shot is a giddy experience, even with the revelation that Jack didn't really kill him. And about thatwhat a frickin' gyp! Why do I watch this show if not for its constant line-crossing?moreless

    • Jack says that Norton airfield is 30 miles away; however, in the next episode, they arrive ten minutes after they leave, meaning they'd have to have traveled 180 miles per hour. Edit

    • Jack: You are wasting my time. When is the bomb gonna detonate? Ali: You're the one wasting time. I woke up today knowing I would die. Jack: I can make you die with more pain than you ever imagined. Ali: Then I will have that much more pleasure in Paradise. Jack: (flatly) Right. Edit
    • Jack: Are you trying to protect this man? Imam: No, Agent Bauer, I have no misplaced loyalties. If the man you are looking for has murdered an innocent, he is as guilty in the eyes of Islam as he is in yours. Edit
    • Ali: I am doing Allah's work. Jack: No, you're going to kill millions of people. That's what you're doing. Edit
