    Second payoff of the season, and it's a humdinger. Whatever problems the last episode had are gone; the Override arc is close to its culmination, and the tension doesn't let up. Plus, Jack actually goes to the bathroom. Big points!With Navi dead and Dina in custody, the Bigbad seat has officially been handed down to Marwan, who's busy implementing the quintuple nuclear meltdown. The suspicion surrounding Paul wanes when he helps Jack hunt down Marwan. Curtis kills his tormentors and sneaks around inside the Rockland Building. And Driscoll…tends to Maya. *shudder* Why did the writers have to choose this episode in which to bring her back? Oh, wait—so they could kill her. Hurray!Tony's back at CTU questioning Dina. After some friction, she tells them some valuable stuff about Marwan. Okay, "friction" is such a weak word. I meant to say that Dina holds back from saying too much, so Tony manhandles her. …still kinda weak, but I'll move on.With Dina's info, Paul's help, and Curtis' phone call, Jack and CTU track Marwan to the Rockland Building and head there to take him down. The whole skyscraper element gives a good "Die Hard" feel to the episode, and it's fun watching Jack and Curtis search for Marwan in a swarm of cubicles. In the end, Edgar saves the day by stopping the meltdowns, the good guys celebrate, and S4 has…another thirteen episodes to go?Hourly Highlight:Marwan's escape. This is only the first time he's done so, and it's pretty cool at this point.moreless

  • Brief Resolution!!!!

    24 bring a brief resolution when we are at the 11th episode. This resolution however doesnt feel so good like the others.

    Maybe because the action itself wasnt powerful enough or there wasnt enough excitment.

    Edgar character continues to show signal that he is vital in this season. Thats why chloe is not there yet.

    Tony almeida get is time on the screen and he shows why he is soo good. The interaction between dina and tony was good.

    Jack wasnt the crucial hero this time, however its contribute was important.

    I Didnt care about Driscoll scenes and neither the terrorists, however curtis was a diferrente case.

    Overral, a solid episode, with no major cliffhanger and didnt really set what is going to happen next.moreless

    ... there is always something that turns it into a lose.

    This episode was powerfully built, we had all those great storylines. The all what was going on the office building and the question of time - do they get there before it gets worse and will they be able to stop the meltdown.

    With the override and office building going on, we were getting moments for Driscoll who is having more and more trouble with her daughter and how she just act always a different way.. and the last call.. when she first says something like.. "don't bother me now" and then in the end, after the reactors are safe.. she running there and seeing everyone there.. and Maya.. oh.. it was totally heart breaking...moreless

    This episode was much better then the couple that led up to it. I thought just about every part of the episode was good, with minimal filler parts throughout the duration. Tony trying to get the information about Marwan from Dina was exciting, as I liked his "your son wont last two seconds in jail" speech. It felt so real the way he said it. The Jack, Paul, and Audrey storyline has gotten much more intesne, with Audrey coming to the rescue of Paul when Jack was trying to get the information out of him. Paul has been on the show for way to long to not have some kind of love triangle devolop between the three of them. The scenes inside the building where the override was being held was pretyt intense to watch. From Curtis taking down three of the men (he works much better in the field with Jack then back at CTU directing traffic) to him having to stop the override, this was a pretty big episode for Curtis. Overall, I thought this episode was very good with Marwan escaping being the only thing that CTU has to work with. Im sure he has a back up plan, like Jack said, so lets hope we get introduced to that soon.moreless

    Jack and Curtis team up to find the location of an override device that might be able to stop the metldown of several power plants across the US. Tony asks Dina to reveal more information about Marwan. Erin Driscoll personal life gets worse as her daughter's condition worsens. Just as the main characters are dealing with their own personal problems, the crisis at hand gets a turn for the worse. The action is really fun to watch. This is a very exciting episode, things are shown here, I just can't get enough of it. This episode is well directed and the writing is excellent as well.moreless

    • When Curtis is slapping Forbes about, he forcibly throws him into a wall section, which at first glance appears to be largely undamaged. When we cut away and back the wall has a gaping hole in the corner and a massive crack running down it. Edit
    • Near the end, when they are in the office looking for the override device, a guy with a pink shirt passes two times behind Jack. They used the same shots to keep the suspense, but because it should be in real time... Edit
