    I agree with screenagedkicks. This episode is the best of the four which opened the season. At this episode the season appears to be geting into its stride and I like that. Hastings finally got his head out of the clouds and realized he should listen to Chloe. That is definitely a step in the right direction. I was not the biggest fan of Renee Walker in the previous season, but in this episode I liked how she and Jack played off each other. They have good chemistry here and I hope it continues for the rest of the season.moreless

    It took a while but we finally get to see Renee back in the fold. Renee is brought in by CTU to provide intel on the Russians so that they can get close to them to find out information about the nuclear rods. It's revealed that she had previously been undercover with the Russians so CTU ends up asking her to go undercover. Jack doesn't want her to and ends up "babysitting" her while she goes to Zia to find out information about where Vlad is. This is where she gets a little psycho and cuts his thumb off (!!!) to get the tracking bracelet off. Totally out of left field, jaw dropping intensity 24 is known for. For all this, the episode deserves a 10/10. "Maybe for you, but I'm just getting started."moreless

    If the end from previous episode gave me hope to like this season... i was right. Because this fourth episode is the answer to all my possible complains of this present season.

    At first: is a much better follow up from the last one. At second: the characters that i dislike (CTU director, Dana Walsh and other guest stars) have improved very much in this episode. They are not as weak as in previous and their characters begin to show more confident and more personality. And, at third: the season started very quickly and without answer to the viewers some questions about history time line and what happened with some characters. And, in this episode, we finally find out many answers.

    This episode also marks the return of Annie Wersching as Renee Walker, a very important character from past season and also one of the best. At the end of the last season, we leaved her in one complicated situation. And in this episode we find out what happened to her and the conclusion of that cliffhanger. Also we learn about her relation with Jack.

    Apart of this, this episode marks the return of the quality and the greatness that i believed lost and i'm so surprise about this hour. Is really clever, necessary, engaging and perfect. All the performances are good, but Kiefer Sutherland is terrific like ever and i very pleasant of the return of Annie Wersching who is also terrific and specially interesting because of her great change in her character. In fact, the shocking ending of this episode (i think that is the most shocking yet!) shows that. You must see her!.

    Also, the new plot of the season (because the main is over) looks like very well and very interesting. If the writers structure the story only with the necessary, i think that this new plot will be suspenseful and with a lot of surprises. Don't miss it!. This fourth hour is the best episode of the season yet!.moreless

  • The premiere comes to a shocking and satisfying end.

    Renee, you badass, you.

    The premiere of 24 is now over, and, unsurprisingly, there's a whole lot going on. Dana's got a shady history; uranium is a hot-topic; the Russian mob is relaxed as hell; Renee Walker is a loose cannon and Jack's caught in the middle of everything. Yes, the eighth season of 24 has finally kicked in.

    The unfortunate thing is that not all of these stories are handled well, namely Dana Walsh's. Unimaginative and unbelievable are probably the only words I can use to describe such a lackluster side story. When the notion of a cloudy past for Dana Walsh came in from far left field in the first night, I actually saw some potential for it, provided the writers explore the many options they had for the story. Consequently, they took the 'trailer trash' route and things have already fallen flat. Kevin, an old "friend" of Ms. Walsh, has been released from prison and, naturally, he just wants a place to "crash" for the night. And before you even ask, yes, he lives out of a trailer with a beard and a denim jacket. Yawn. Anyway, Kevin Wade decides that his girlfriend from years past is just dying to talk to him and is still the same person he knew from before he was behind bars. He phones Dana at CTU and learns that she has completely changed; even her name is different. It turns out that Dana Walsh is not who she says she is, and her name is merely an alias she has taken on to mask her former life. Kevin calls her "Jenny" and, indeed, she responds.

    But he does not get the loving reaction he was expecting, and, in hour three, Kevin makes his way to CTU to find Jenny or Dana or whatever she's called.

    WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Hold on, hold on, hold on! Did some generic 'redneck' just find the offices of CTU NY on his own? Isn't this place some sort of intelligence agency? Really, the CTU of Day 8 looks pretty secure, and most of it even appears to be underground, with only a few entrances poking their heads up from the tarmac. This doesn't seem likely. At all. Anyway, Dana (Jenny?) even gives Kevin the key to her apartment, allowing an obviously perturbed man free reign of her home. Something here doesn't add up. Hopefully we can make things a little more coherent in future episodes.

    But I digress from the main plot points of the two episodes. Jack is on the move already from the get-go, searching the suburbs for the season's first villain Davros. Within minutes he has arrived on the scene of the Russian's handiwork, but, alas too late. The bodies of Davro's hostages lay lifeless on the kitchen chairs, with bullets in each of their heads. Within minutes of Jack's arrival, the cops show up at the door, and, it just so happens that one of that of Davros' victims was an officer himself, effectively labeling Jack as a cop-killer. Enraged, one of the cops starts delivering a beat down to Jack, and his mission is unfortunately delayed, but only for a short time. With effort, Jack is able to take control of the situation, and manages to return to the UN in time to save President Hassan from an untimely death and kill Davros.

    It isn't until the fourth hour that things begin to get really interesting, introducing old though scarred friends. Last season, we already began to see the metamorphosis of Renee Walker, as she turned from a passive employee of the FBI to a character caught in the gray, unsure of what's wrong and what's right. And, while she crossed boundaries from time to time in season seven, she looked her part. Oh, how a day with Jack has changed her.

    After examining Davros' dead body, a number of odd looking symbols are found, along with traces of weapons-grade uranium. Things don't look good, and, shockingly enough, the only agent with the right knowledge (and body) on the Russian mob is Miss Renee Walker. She doesn't like to talk much, but she sure is determined.

    Her assignment will bring her back undercover with the Russians, though it has apparently been years since Renee was in that line of work. It's a rocky and unpredictable undertaking, and Jack isn't sure if Renee is up to it. He forces himself along with her, and Renee is immediately resentful, claiming that he's only there to "babysit." She has not time for nonsense, and will apparently go to whatever lengths she needs to fulfill her duties. She's had a rough past as is, and her character's actions speak for themselves, delivering a shocking and gruesome ending to a plot-driven episode.

    An unpredictable and battered soul, Renee alone delivers a solid hour, and what may be most interesting is seeing how she grows further. While the premiere of 24's eighth day was inconsistent at best, a few memorable moments shined. The interactions between Jack and Renee may very well be what this season is remembered for, and, if future episodes play out as unexpectedly as the final few minutes of hour four, we may very well see an excellent season.moreless

    Immediately dealing with the aftermath of the assasination attempt, Cole helps President Hassan while Davros tries to get away and Farhad escapes after killing a CTU agent with a pen to the neck. Way to keep your cover, Farhad! Cole is quickly found by Davros, but proving his loyalty for the second time in five minutes, he tells the truth to his fellow agents. Fortunately, Jack arrives just in time, but as always in "24", we discover that this is just the beginning, since the Russian Mob wanted to kill Hassan to acquire nuclear materials. Once again dealing with a familiar threat, this new plot thread looks promising with the arrival of Renee Walker, badass than ever. Jack, knowing about her past problems since Season 7, wants to protect her while going undercover. All of this makes a very interesting episode, and specially, the cliffhanger, which I'll not give. Don't mess with Renee!moreless
