Last night we saw a new Jack Bauer, scarred by the two years he spent in a Chinese prison, traded back to the United States in order to be used as a negotiating chip with a terrorist leader. I really hate those plots where negotiation with terrorists is declared the only option. The good news, though, is that Jack showed them that there was not only another option, but a better one.
We also saw internal administration disagreement over civil liberties, Jack use a Mike Tyson-like vampire move to escape, and on a lighter note, Chloe's new hair style. Tonight's episode promises plenty more action beginning at 8 p.m. EST. Comments, and debate, are encouraged.
Update 7:45 p.m. EST: I forgot to remind those in later time zones to be aware that the comments section will contain spoilers as soon as the show begins in 15 minutes. You have been warned. Consider this your shot in the thigh. (For those not familiar with the "shot in the thigh" reference, Jack often shoots in the thigh those who either have not yet been convinced to tell everything they know, or who need to be stopped, but don't quite deserve killing. This is a running joke at Dave Barry's blog, as is the reference to the "First Cleavage", referring to the former First Lady, who has not yet appeared this season.)

Lorie, thank you for introducing me to Jack. I love how that no matter the situation, his courtesy is impeecable. He is truly a modern knight, fighting evil to protect the weak.
And I LOVE Morris and Chloe!!!!

I cannot wait for Jack to give a little payback to the Chinese security official that nabbed him at the end of day 5. He can't say he wasn't warned though. That look Jack gave him on the way into the hangar was chock full of I am going to kill you and enjoy it! You should think about running.
But why do the bureautwits insist on not believing Jack? Have they ever been right? I will forgive the NSA weenie for not falling in line, but what is Palmer's or Hayes' excuse? They know Jack Bauer. He is NEVER wrong.

actually that's a bit unfair of me. I did like Wayne last season, but its a bit of a stretch (even for 24) to imagine him as President. that said, its less of a stretch than the fairy tale character that David was (a (for the most part) tough and honorable Democrat). and Sherry was a great villainess. little sis, not so much.

Sherry was a great villainess. And you could relate to her even when you knew she was wrong. She had depth to her character.
But little sis? She is just an annoying pain in the arse who seems to be an SNL spoof of an ACLU lawyer. I volunteer her to add to the body count totals.

Thanks for introducing me to this, Lorie. I'm on the Left Coast, so I won't get to see the second half of the premier until 8:00 Pacific, but I'm looking forward to it.
Sure it wasn't all that real. I mean would the government bribe the Chineese just to get a valued asset to hand over to another group?... Come on... Or that everybody all sat around after first hearing of the plan and saying "Yep! that's the ONLY way." Or that we're handing over the keys to all of our satelites... Nah. Or for that matter that the FBI keeps all of their TV's tuned to Fox News at all times? Ah, well. If the show was made by Cheetos, all the characters would be walking around with orange fingers, I guess...
Anyway, I really enjoyed the show. As a first timer, I would have enjoyed a bit more backstory, but figuring out who is who, is half the fun.
PS: I agree with Simply Kimberly. The Chinese security officer will be back, and I don't think it's going to go well for him...
Thanks again!

oh yesss...add her to the pile! along with spoofs of those spoofs of newsmen, Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews.
though she could turn out to be worthwhile yet, as a golden illustration of an ACLU terrorist sympathizer (and, I am pretty certain, co-conspirator). what is interesting is that her boyfriend seems genuinely not to be, though he's the head of the group.

I think the writers are trying to give Jack his humanity back. Over the last 5 seasons, we've seen Jack slowly lose his humanity, slowly twisting into the same madmen he hunts. The 2 years in Chinese prison gives the writers a way to bring Jack back to reality as he slowly rebuilds his life, and becomes the bad-ass we all know and love.
But as they said in Fight Club ... You have to lose everything before you can do anything. Jack will hit bottom losing the only thing he had left ... himself. Once he does, I foresee a rebirth that will shock even the most seasoned 24 fan.
Or ... maybe they'll just blow up more stuff, stage a cheesy emotional breakthrough, and have Jack go on as if nothing ever happened ... what do I know?

I like your first theory, Felix, but the second could be equally feasible.
In spite of the first word out of Jack's mouth being "Audrey," I don't see her character listed in the profiles for this season, nor Kim's.
How many years have gone by from first episode to this one? Just curious, because there have been 4 presidents, I think?

pjaykc, I'd guess around 9 years, unless Keeler was in his 2nd term when AF1 was shot down, which I don't think so, or unless Logan won reelection in his own right between seasons 4 and 5, which is possible, but not overly probable IMO, since that stretches the time frame to around 13 years.
season 1 occurred during the primaries, so around a year before Palmer became President. seasons 2 and 3 occurred during the next 4 years (Palmer's only term - see decision not to run for reelection at end of season 3). season 4, Keeler is President, but incapacitated, and Logan takes over. again, unless Logan wins a full term in between 4 and 5, we're still in the same 4-year term. and Wayne has just taken office, and its still only 2 years since Jack was taken prisoner by the ChiComms, so no possibility of another election between Logan and Palmer2.
what I'm curious about is what happened in that year and a half between Jack's disappearance and Wayne winning election. who was President then (did Logan have/did we ever see his VP)? did Logan somehow escape the rap and stay in office with Jack out of the way, or what?

Pretty damned good CGI on the detonation. But where is the overpressure? I'm guessing it's a low-ish KT range, and Jack is close enough to get a least a little breeze.
And I wonder where the other four "visitors" are going to be?

Keifer Sutherland's contract is as a producer, not as the lead. He has always said that Jack is not immune to being killed off.
I saw the nuke coming, but for a moment there I thought Jack was going to frag himself. Thank God he's still around.

So much for gut feeling that they were going to stop the bomb in time...
But 4 more bombs in the states? The only problem I see with that is the nuke tech dude said it was the last one made by the Russians. Unless they managed to make more of them.
According to the preview, we might see 4 more detonations by the end of the season. Wow.

pjaykc -> The device was only to reprogram the bomb. It wasn't the detonator.
Remember that Fayad (spelling?) drove off in a brown van. We saw that same brown van in the preview of tomorrow's episode. This means that most likely, the device that went off was the last device to be reprogrammed.
If a nuke went off in LA tomorrow, I'd approve of internment in a heartbeat. I'm sure this will bring up the whole internment debate again, but I believe in it.

uh oh, the terrorists are in trouble now. Jack's back in cause they nuked the Commie before he could kill him (with his eyes) himself.
and what's with wussy neighbor dad transforming to super neighbor dad to save his son't friend, and then beat a guy to death, only to untransform and scream like a little girl while they detonated the bomb, instead of trying to stop him? sheesh.
and maybe lil sis ain't completely evil after all, if she relayed the message to the FBI (though I wonder why Walid didn't just tell the guards?!?). then again, she probably knew it was too late. I still think she's on the terrorists' side, and her threat was even less idle than was thought...

I know this much: if a bleeding terrorist was pointing a gun at my son, I'd jam my fingers in his thoigh wound until he dropped the gun. I never would leave the house.
I'd also probably also be dead, but oh well.

Okay, thanks--I guess I missed that part about the Russian bomb--or at least, the significance. I think I'll go read the episode guide. Sometimes there is some background filler in there that explains things a little better.

Goddess...no need for violence. All you would have to do is talk to the young terrorist & show how you are interested in where "he is coming from" and be reallllllyyy nice, and he would not be violent anymore.

Curtis will survive ... I hope! Deja vu ... Tony survived a gunshot to the neck in season 3(?) and was back and up and at'em in time to commit treason while saving his beloved.
This video drops a hint or two: http://tinyurl.com/yx9dsy
There's another there with Carlos Bernard .. very interesting!
I see kill meters here and there, counting all the hits Jack makes. Anyone have a cry meter? Mine is at 5 so far.
I was going to try to live blog these two episodes ... I was hot, I was ready ... I rushed home from yoga class just in time, got the lappie up and running ... on the power adapter, can't trust a battery you know. Found an open socket, set up a perimeter, had my tact team ready (2 lap cats, so ya know) logged in and ...
My web host was down.

Wow what a way to start the year, LA is nuked! Still can't get over Jack's vampire routine to get away on Sunday night. I hope Curtis comes back also, course he might be pissed with Jack. I have a feeling that Palmer will regret giving Dr. Bashir a pardon, I mean Assyad a pardon. Also any bets that Little Sis's boyfriend gets killed or at least the heck beat out of him in detention by some angry guards.
