Like anyone would think Jack Bauer would EVER shoot Nina Myers. He needs her to find the bomb, for fuck's sake. The writers are seriously messing up some shit if they're trying to convince us that there's any way in here that this is going to be in any way more than a ruck and a little friction.
Nina would so get it. She's a dirty little minx of a double agent. Sorry - the geeky fan-boy in me is coming out to play.
Yeah, '24' is back to doing those lovely little touches which made the first series so brilliant. The part where Jack told Mason to turn the heat up on Nina by ten degrees was on a par with the 'I can rip out a man's stomach lining with a towel and it'll take him a week to die' speech Jack made to dodgy Serb banker Ted Cofell.
I like the way how the directors are getting us to hate the wife beater Gary Matheson by having him shout and stomp at the poor black nurse in the hospital. Miguel showed some ingenuity - remarkable for one of Kim's friends, I know - by getting Gary away from Megan by phoning the main desk.
If I were Kim and Miguel, I would have left the stupid little girl in the hospital. She's only going to cry and moan, generally prove annoying, get lost, have to be found again, be kidnapped and whine about her mother. But enough about Kim... Still, Megan hasn't done anything to make me want her to stay in the plot. She's about as endearing as middle eastern despot.
And speaking of middle eastern despots, Reza seems to have set up Bob Warner rather well, hasn't he? "Oh, it wasn't me, it was that other dude" - that's all it takes for Tony Almeida to stop his interogation. Nice work, that agent. I can why he's still not in charge of CTU.
