This shit with Navarro is so boring. I hope the twist is that Adrian is the real dude behind the drones. Otherwise its pointless.

Audrey's life sucks.
I just imagined this and started laughing for a good minute.

There must be... An appropriate Metal Gear reference for this episode. Cause the OT title now needs a change.

Heller puts his hands in his jacket, then in his jacket pockets, twice

This promo for next week is raising a lot of questions for me. Spoilers/speculation, obviously.
Is Heller alive and in hiding, to bluff Margot? If so, has she got is figured, which is why she still has one drone active and heading for London? However, Jack does appear to be in revenge mode, so... hmmmm.
I was thinking about this just then.
What if Jack is just going beast mode to make it seem like Heller really is dead? Playing the long con until the event is over, then reveal that he's off the grid in South-Hampton or something. The one drone could be that it's still the same one that "killed" Heller. I doubt they'd bring more in to London if they're going to fly them into the banks.
I'm also still wondering when/if they're still going to do the time-jump. If it's after the next episode, it would mean that either Al-Harazi dies, and the Russia/China subplot becomes the main, and Jack+Audrey go on the run or whatever.

I can't believe they ruined Wembley Stadium 
As a non-American who has never even touched a real gun, this fact really surprised me the first time I heard it. American television/film gives the impression that all semi-automatic weapons have a safety.
Truth they do sell that idea, I'm also non American and live on a country with strict gun control, but given that I have several family members on law enforcement and military they always loved to talk about this things and they use glock's so I know that glock has no safety. But Bootleg Milo must be a geek, has he never played a shooter? most of the games are pretty detailed on how to operate a gun
Yep. And Chloe clearly said that actually controlling the drone would be impossible, yet she was still trying to do something with the other systems that seemed more vulnerable.
They're playing us like a damn fiddle, Heller is still alive

It's a Strike Back reunion !
It's a Strike Back reunion !
I expect Scott and Stonebridge to show up anytime
I didn't catch that, but maybe it'll be a plot point?
Do you guys think 24 on HBO would be even cooler?

Maybe the explosion was a time-travel portal where Heller would be sent into the past to end this war... before it ever begins.
Seriously though, perhaps in a future episode, the final scene will be Heller's casket and everybody pays respects to him as he's flown back to the US. After that, silent clock.

Thinking about cutting my losses now. The season is about to go to shit with that corrupt CIA boss being the main villain. I wish the fucking assholes who wrote this show could resist this predictable shit, but they cannot. Up to now though the show has been decent.

You're making a prediction which probably isn't likely and not based on anything significant besides him being bad and then you're calling the show predictable shit.
Yep, he done goofed.

Well this show fills my mind with fuck and I just wish the stupid plot was toned down and the show was just Keefer running around in pure action movie fashion. Every time someone pulls a gun out on someone in the fucking CIA HQ or the head boss turns out to be corrupt I just want to turn the fucking show off, but then there is Keefer running around doing crazy shit which keeps me in. Just get rid of all the stupid shit and let Keefer be Keefer.
I thought it was decent, it could've been done a bit better but it wasn't so bad compared to other seasons. I remember S6 handling it terribly, it was sunset at the end of one episode and the beginning of the next one was already pitch black night. S7 on the other hand did the transition really well.

Renee Walker got a fakeout silent clock in day 7 so this beep beep clock could mean Heller is dead after all.

In the promo, the guy said
"THEY HACKED INTO OUR FEED!" Which makes me believe Chloe made it looked like Heller was there when he wasn't.

That would be so fucking lame and cowardly. Heller better be dead.
I agree.
Especially since 24 is real time. If Chloe/Jack saved Heller, there was no reason not to show it with a split screen

Heller willed the silent clock away.
No.
Chloe will manage to compromise the ability of terrorists to control the drones. She tried to do that at the end of the episode anyway.

i hope not this is going to be that nuke or bomb that detonated in LA, but nothing happened at the end
You're missing the significant difference between this and S6.
S6 - Nuke happens within the first 4 hours. 20 episodes left.
S9 - President blown up on ep 8. Only four episodes left.
The reason S6 was so shit (amongst many other reasons) is because the big event happened at the start.
So, lets just assume (correctly) that Heller is dead. These are the remaining plotlines for the rest of the season:
- Margot and Ian. Looks like they may try another attack regardless - but I expect their arc to finish next week.
- Adrian Cross, Steve Navarro and Chloe. This is obviously leading to something - likely involving Chloe. And Kate of course.
- Bauer and the Russians.
Am I missing anything? I'm guessing Adrian and the Russians will be the endgame this season.

Heller should definitely get a silent clock. If it's due to a new post-production team, maybe it'll be changed when it comes out on DVD.
Faking it would have been cheap and contrived, even by some of the magical wizardry computers are capable of in the 24 universe. Heller's death also fits; he's losing the very thing that makes him, him, and would rather go out on his own terms. Saving him at the last minute would undermine all that.

He should have gotten one though he has been a pretty big character and him dieing
I mean old Fembauer got one for getting buried alive in S7 even though IIRC it was all planned.Similar threads
