Yeah, but I was hoping for something different to happen there. I'm disappointed that the writers went to the old stand by to get out of the situation.

Mary Anne (or however you spell her name) got caught by Edgar. She tried to escape, but was caught....moments before her car exploded, knocking her unconscious.
Tony and Jack caught up with that guy who Audrey recognized, trying to flee via helicopter. After he was apprehended by Jack and Tony, he was sniped and killed by an unknown assailant.
Somethings in this episode just seem to happen for convenience sake in order to move the plot along.
1. Behrooz(?) and his mom escaping the hospital? The Dr couldn't do anything to stop them? He had no weapon... all he had to do was trip the kid, or yell for help to the cop who was standing 15 feet away?
2. The whole Maryann thing is pissing me off. Driscoll seems to be hellbent on proving that she's tough enough to 'crack' the spies that they aren't doing any basic polygraph tests on Sarah.. yeah, you can make a case that she might have been taught on how to disguise her intent when the machine is used on them but they didn't address it at all.. just straight to the torture.
3. Edgar, doing a good job uncovering everything but come on, getting what's his name to walk up to the office with him to tell everyone he knew who the mole was? was this to just give maryann a head start?
This episode had a few moments but I feel like it was one of the weaker ones from this season.
oh, and from the preview:

Did Edgar say his mom lived 15 miles away from one of the nuclear power plants? that's pretty lame....i guess they're trying to make it so that there's a more emotional connection to the impending melt down?
Another great decent episode. It was less action packed than the usual, but I guess there's gotta be some breathers.
I felt bad for Tony and the way he turned out (how he ended up in this position, etc. etc.) but it's great seeing the both of them going into action. I was fearing that he might
but that didn't happen.

Yeah, and when she finally is "conscious", she won't resist the torture and spill her guts right away
Either that, or she still has an ace up her sleeve.
As for her car blowing up:
Shady guy on phone: "You'll be taken care of" :lol That should have tipped her off right there. No wonder he didn't want her to leave.
keiichi said:
If they wanted to leave, the doctor didn't have a choice. But, he DID eventually signal the police that Behrooz and his mother were leaving.
Well, that's what they did to the Sec. of Defense's son. Since they're in a state of emergency (essentially), they have to take drastic measures.
Mary Ann could have done God-knows-what to prevent him from spilling the beans (she could have blabbed that he was helping Chloe in order to change the subject).

Where is Chloe
I want her back

Not only that, but Driscoll herself noted that the guy they picked up from the laundromat WAY back in the premiere (Sharik, or whatever), only talked when Jack shot him in the leg, and that normal questioning was going nowhere. Now, they're faced with a similarly dire situation, and she isn't pussyfooting around this one. Hell, the dialogue itself justified her actions in the eyes of the viewers.
Loved the trick with making the viewer assume they had gotten Marianne automatically, and then them walking right by her to Sarah's desk. As someone says, Jack had no reason to know this person. Driscoll was the one person who knew her, and was thus skeptical, and Edgar just plan didn't believe it. I felt that the entire mole situation was handled very well, and resolved quickly enough that my initial bitching about it now seems like cynicall bullshit.
Tony's in bad shape, y'all. Alcoholic whose slutty girlfriend is paying his bills while he sits at home watching obviously tape delayed football? That's gotta hurt. Considering that Michelle deputy director at Division, chances are we may be seeing her and Tony have a bit of a reunion in the future. And yes, that is pure speculation, I have absolutely no idea if she'll be showing up.
As per the end, I have to say that it was to be expected. What 24 loves to do is take a situation that looks like it is going badly (Helicopter is going to take off), and then tension enters the picture, and then the tension dies down (They escort him out of the Helicopter) and then some guy shoots someone. Ding Ding! We've got the end of an hour on 24. Same thing last week, really. All sorts of power plants to explode. Edgar has a program that may or may not work. It seems to work, and everyone is happy...and then 6 stop entirely.
Is it predictable? Yes. At the same time, you have to wonder what exactly was this guy's role, and the same with Marianne's. I mean, obviously this guy had some sort of role in the overall scheme of things, since he seemed to be their tech guy in learning about the technology aspects of the override, but why did HE have a mole in CTU? And how did he know to have a mole in CTU? What in the hell did he, personally, have to gain with that mole. All she really did was protect and shield him from harm, and seemingly cared not about the overall mission statement. Should be interesting.
I liked this episode. I enjoyed the pacing, enjoyed the twists, and enjoyed the rapid-fire ending. There are always slow spots in a 24 season...but I think that in having 8 episodes in a month, they've essentially made them seem much less slow. Really, we're getting in the good stuff much faster than usual due to the sweeps period, and I can honestly say it's making for entertaining TV.
This is such an awesome TV Week; Amazing Race finale, 100th Episode of the Gilmore Girls (Shut up or die, seriously), and the return of the Lost/Alias block. And Veronica Mars comes back from its hiatus. Times are good.
Oh...and generally the 24 torrent is up at around 10:30 EST.

I must say....I saw that one a mile away.
As soon as Marianne used that thing--whatever it is--to speak the false location of Jack, I knew that she was using it to finger somebody. At first, I thought it was Driscoll
lol), but when they started walking downstairs, I was yelling at my room mate, "I bet you they're going to get Sarah. I bet you....watch, they're going to get Sarah. See? See? Look...look at Marriane...see....oh my God, they're passing Marianne! OH MY FUCKING GOD! You bitch, Marianne! I TOLD you they were going for Sarah! Fuck that bitch!" :lolEDIT: Oh yeah...the torrent is up.
This episode redeemed itself in the last 10 minutes. I would have been PISSED going into next week with Marian still being the mole.
And the whole scene where the guards were going to arrest her, that was so predictable 24-style, I was saying to myself, "so which 'girl' are they going to arrest."
The half-run did indeed kick ass. :lol

Edgar rules! We need to get a Chloe + Edgar tech nerd team-up to go with the Jack + Tony bad ass team-up.
