Since when did wearing asuit make you look fit?!

Good couple of episodes again. Although was expecting a much bigger explosion than the one we got. It was meant to kill yet when Freddy Prinze took the brunt of it, he was fine.

And loved the look on Hastings face when he welcomed the President to CTU - it was a smirk as if to say 'I know your dirty little secret'.

Chloe back to her best. Loved it when she said to Hastings, 'you should thank Jack first then Agent Ortis and then me'.

Renee is a bit dark now! Cutting the guys thumb off was a bit extreme but oh well!

And surely Jack cares more about Kim and his grand-daughter than Renee?

Ahh! Thanks for that Dan. I was confused at the end as I thought Renee had cut off his entire hand, but it still looked joined to his arm when he was lying on the floor at the end.

Pretty shocking ending, and a good double episode. Won't the Russians be suspicious when someone they haven't seen for 6 years suddenly contacts them on the day they've got a big nuclear deal going down?

Also, why did the fact that the assassination attempt failed mean that the brother would be revealed as the mole? I don't see how Hasan being dead or alive would have any effect on his brother being found out?

CTU finally realised that the bomb plans on the reporters computer were planted, so that ruled her out. They knew someone close to the president was in on it so it wouldn't have taken long to work out it was his brother.

But they already had the info about the guy going into Meredith's block of appartments before the bombing. Yeah, they realised that the bomb plans on her computer were a hoax, and that they were planted there to draw Hasan out of the UN building. They'd have known that even if he was killed, and would have come after the assassin anyway. Maybe it's just that the assassin dude knew they were onto them as Ortis (Ortiz?) had tried to stop the car? Surely they'd know that CTU would work it out in the end though? Incidentally, respect to Ortis for telling people where the assassin was even though he thought he was gonna get killed for it.

I thought it was mentioned that lots of people in Hasan's country weren't in favour of the peace process, and so I'd imagine his brother would have plenty of supporters back home?

I see your point about déja vu. In defence (or should I say defense?) of 24, it's a show about terrorist activity, and most of that is gonna revolve around bombs and assassination attempts. Terrorists don't seem to plan a lot else.

Dan, it's definitely nuclear weapons that they were talking about. Seems pretty clear that's the main plot.

Are you saying it could be a nuclear frikkin lazer?

Maybe they could release nuclear material into the sewers or water system, so that homes are infected before anyone knows?

Am worried about Renee, she needs help. Jack should hook up with her and sort her out. And didn't Jack look ridiculous in those glasses, didn't see the point in them! Was disappointed with the ending, wasn't very exciting.

Yep, the glasses were weird. I missed the first 15 minutes, and I didn't get the bit with the Russian brothers (anyone notice Adam Monroe from Heroes there?). Seemed a bit random to me. Still think it's been pretty good so far.

Amazing. What phone is it because we've one at work that looks just like the ones in the old CTU so I'm gonna see if I can change the ringtone!
