Yeah, with the exception of Driscoll's departure, this was a very slow episode. Oh well, at least Michelle's finally back -- time for a throwdown!

Running around in circles will get us nowhere. Yes, we know you don't like having to type the extra nine characters at the beginning of a sentence or the ten characters at the end, but we appreciate it. I definitely recall spoiler-tagging previews during S3 and maybe even S2, it's what got me to stop watching them in the first place.
Thanks.
Oh, and case in point, this week's episode: I watched the preview and found myself bored, thinking "just appoint Tony and get to the exploding EMP already." And wouldn't you know, the EMP exploded near the very end of the episode, leaving me with a whole three or four minutes of "Gee whiz, what's gonna happen!" instead of the usual fifty.

Man this season keeps on kicking ass, this eppisode was at a slower pace than the last, but was still great.
I gotta admit though, I at first kinda laughed to my slef that this office building just HAPPEND to have the old standerd issue EMP in the basement, but than they said how they had been developing non lethal weapons for the millitary, so it became plausable.
Can't wait to see the situatuation unfold between Tony and Michelle, come on Tony, you can get her back!!
I wonder though, will this mean Discroll's off the show for good now? I am just trying to think of an incident in the first 3 seasons where a main cherecter has left the show ½ way through... I am not completaly sure she's gone for good... And damnit, why dont they just add Carlos and Reiko on the main cast already.

I hope so. That depressed daughter subplot was the most obvious time waster throwaway storyline since the "baby in the office" deal last season. Didn't like much about Driscoll.Black Deatha said:
By the way, whatever happened to Chloe this season? She was in two or three episodes and then got canned right quick. :lol

The wildcard would complete 24.
This episode was not in any way slow. For what is the REAL transition episode, it was actually pretty damn good. While there was little "action" there was plenty of intrigue, especially concerning what exactly is going on at MF.
I've been calling Michelle's return since...well, since I read the casting spoiler. However, HOW she'd be coming back was clear the second Driscoll's daughter committed suicide. And when they kept mentioning "Division" throughout the episode. I knew that her new job at Division would make for an easy entrance into the storyline, and this is just perfect.
Someone pointed out that Edgar was given much less grieving time...but he also seemed less hysterical and it was during a time of crisis where nobody could replace him. Driscoll is a bit of a different situation, plus the entire daughter subplot was done entirely to get rid of her. Edgar's mother was there to put a human face on the Nuclear Meltdown, so its purpose was served and I really don't mind if we move on, personally. 24 does that; for instance, the huge ass prison riot in Season 3 was all but forgotten after it happened. It's normal procedure.
Looking forward to seeing where this goes from here, whether it be at the Air Force Base or not. If MF sold weapons to terrorists, what weapons? Where are they planning on using them? What the hell is going on here? There are plenty of options of where to go with this, and I hope the one they choose will end up as entertaining as the first half of the season.

Same here:
Since the emp fires a electromagnetic pulse, that runs into anything THAT works on electricity, the emp should have fried that flashlight.

Well, if the latest episode wasn't proof enough, now the show is playing with fire.

Did you read it? Despite being labelled a MAJOR casting spoiler? And you blame him?
I have known of the casting spoilers for quite some time...by the time they come around you usually forget about them entirely, and the show is good enough that even when you see them coming they rock.

Actually, when Jack was holed up at Tony's place, he explained to Audrey that Michelle had moved up ranks of Division and would be sure to become the CTU director at some point.
This is the only TV show I watch, and every episode this season has been well worth the week-long wait!!
Okay, just some random thoughts:
- I have a feeling that the current President is involved in some way with this whole ordeal. I haven't figured out how just yet, though.
- Audrey's bitch ass is gonna go back to her husband, leaving Jack the chump for rescuing her.
- Michelle will give Tony a hard time. I don't see them getting back together.
- Curtis kicks major ass again. I like him.
- Paul, Audrey's husband, has something to do with the day's events, and while he's certainly not involved with the kidnapping, I do think that he does have something he's hiding.
- Jack vs. The Mummy = he's gonna make Brendan Fraiser look like a chump.
:lol I must resist the urge to read that casting spoiler. 
Anyways, I just re-watched the episode. Quick question regarding Habid (or however you spell his name): When he was talking to that guy that came in the car in the alley, are they planning another operation using the "Air Force" base? 0_o
