They are really laying the religious symbolism on thick at 24. Jack's got the long hair, he's been whipped, he has to sacrifice himself to be the savior of the United States. Jack returns from China a broken man - he can barely even walk and talk. Yet somehow he's kicking ass and yelling within the first 80 minutes. 10 bucks says that huge burn scar on his hand disappears by Hour 13. 'Cuz Jesus Bauer can regenerate. He was hit in the head, it was bloody, and then once he washes his face the wound disappears.
So was that the Greatest Jack Bauer Kill ever? The Lost Boys-style biting out of the jugular? Yes, it definitively was!!! I was standing up and yelling for that. But then Assad counters with the Greatest Torture ever - the knife inserted into the knee. That's how you get information, Jack!
Of course, I stood up and clapped when it was revealed Karen and Bill were married. I'm so happy for them!! But married couples don't have a good survival rate on 24. Karen + Bill 4ever! Also, I noticed that Wayne is now married.
I can't take Kumar seriously as a bad guy every time he speaks. I mean, it's Kumar. He's harmless. He just wants to get high and eat White Castle.
I think the real question isn't "Is America ready for a black President?"; it's "Is America ready for a President with a goatee?" Really, President W. Palmer has the most presidential facial hair since Lincoln.
Three quick day player notes: That had to be the adorable retarded killer from Oz serving the warrant at the Islamic American Alliance. And Stephen Merchant (Ricky Gervais' partner) was a menial CTU employee. And in the preview, the guy who played Kumar's brother is one of the enemy combatants. Hopefully we can get the guy who played his father: "Daddy is not coming on anything!"
I can't even guess what the big ending will be tomorrow, and I don't want to know. Let's just be thankful we don't have to wait a week.
P.S.: GO PATS GO!!!!!!!!!!!

1. They had better glove that hand...I can't look at it anymore. A little bit of lemon juice and honey helps a raspy voice---he was sipping tea during the break.
2. Karen + Bill = true love forever
3. Miss Palmer could be shady...who knows
4. Jack had BETTER be eating something in the next episode---he's indestructible, obviously doesn't need food or water.
5. Tom is going to be a dick...big time. I hate him already
6. Curtis is NOT a regular "starring," just a "guest star" IT'S NOT GOOD!
7. Go Patriots? I thought you LOVED Peyton and LOVED the Colts. How easily you turn when pressured by your peers
The only thing I understand on this post is the PS- Yippee, go Pats!
