    Liked the episode. Don't have much to say except that I found it particularly cheezy the way they established that Dock Security Guy had a wife pregnant with twins. Literally had me cracking up at how cliche that part was.

    I'm glad Jack saved the guy even though he has now risked Tony's life. Jack obviously was not going to die. I thought it was pretty dumb to tell the guy's sappy story then have him offed.

    I'm going to guess that Kim Bauer comes back and somehow saves Jack's life.

    Lucky for him, he wasn't one day from retirement...


    I liked Tony's reaction when Jack gave the security guy his word.

    The lesson we've learned from this season is that women can't lead and are evil and untrustworthy.

    Shes on that path, but not equal to yet, IMO. Sherry was such an evil b**** that I would actually yell at my TV screen...

    IMDB has had Elisha Cuthbert listed as part of the cast since the first episode. We still have a few more hours before she gets there, but she's coming.

    Yeah when they showed the previews for the next episode I think I saw her but they changed the clip real fast but I am pretty sure it is her. We shall see.

    Watched it last night. Pretty good episode. I’m glad Moss is finally on Jack’s side again. The whole Jack vs. the FBI tends to get old after a while.

    I really hope they don’t kill off Tony. I loved watching him and Jack shoot up the port. Obviously Jack isn’t going to die from exposure to that chemical.

    My only problem with this episode was the helicopter coming in and taking the cargo away in a matter of minutes. If they had access to a helicopter that quickly, why even bother with the 18-wheeler? Why wouldn’t they just bring the helicopter into the port in the first place? And these guys are the most powerful terrorists in the world, yet they still need a security guard to unlock the gate for them??? LOL.

    They needed to initially get a security guard involved so that they could have unfettered access to the cargo. After that, they needed to determine if he had double-crossed them so they had him meet them at the gate rather than them simply barging in to (perhaps) an ambush from the Feds.

    With respect to the helicopter, a Semi draws a lot less attention than a helicopter dangling large cargo, so it was only used as a last resort.

    I get it, but it seems like they could have just done the same thing Jack and Tony did, which was to just sneak in and put a gun to the security guard's head. He would have done what ever they told him to do. That way, they wouldn't have to worry about whether or not he double-crossed them.

    True, but it seems to me that a helicopter could make a much quicker getaway than an 18-wheeler, especially in the cover of night. Once it gets in the air, who is going to see it? They could have been in and out of there in about 10 minutes.

    But whatever. It's 24 and I love every minute of it.

    Well, there was the comment the guard made about making sure he was the only one working that night. It's easier to sneak up on one guy than five or six.

    there was a little bit of comedy in that episode:

    tony: 'it'll be 10 against 2'
    jack (with his gun on one of the bad dudes): '9 against 2'.

    Wasn't Jack's explanation to Moss that the Starkwood guys stole the chopper from the docks/shipping yards?

    A private military facility named Starkwood? Almost an obvious reference to Iron Man.

    Interesting that Jack actually did test positive for that bioweapon. I mean, there's no way he actually dies, so what gives? I'm guessing Starkwood also has some sort of cure for his blood disease.
    Damn... good call.

    i laughed when they kept focusing in on his scars... as if the makeup team hadn't been trying hard enough already.
