I'm liking Season 4 even more now that I think about it.
This episode was good; it wasn't anything brilliant, but it did a good job of showing us a strong transition episode. It was kind of the episode where Jack and CTU learned about the things we already knew about, Re: Train Bombing and the like. Sure, there was a correlation before, but now everything is all fitting together nicely.
Now, we've got an interesting situation where we've clearly got the American Dude as being the real bad guy (Shades of Season 1's villian switch, perhaps?). Where we go from here is really, really interesting. Clearly, finding the override is the immediate focus. But where from there? All we have is an obvious figurehead for that situation, and no idea who he is or what is going on.
But seriously...empty office buildings? Curtis, you idot! That should have been Jack's mission, he at least would have gotten something out of it. As it is, Curtis just got himself captured. Sigh..
Next week is hour 11...we're nearing the halfway point, so we'll see if this gets resolved anytime soon. Looking forward to it. I spent a good deal of the hour at a friend's house, and it was on in the background and I could hear the ticking of the clock every commercial break, reminding me I was missing it. Had it taped for me, watched it after, but still.
