Watching right now.
For fucks sake, "They found a way into our system!".
Why chicken out.

Had the same reaction early on in the season.
As soon as the mansion exploded, Heller and the Allister should have been grabbed by their security people and carry into some kind of bunker. You know someone has control of six drones and one was just use on British soil.

Fantastic.
Funny, this is the same thing I always do to Maggie Chow and her maid in the first Deus Ex.
Ty for this. I gotta say when Jack kills, he kills them neatly. Look at them lined up next to each other.
Edit:
This is making me laugh too much. This is the perfect abandon thread gif.
Okay so they haven't been crystal clear about it then? Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something since it was mentioned. I would like vengeance for that.

You like me, you really really like me!
Episode 8 is now my least favorite episode of the season so far. They made an entire episode focused on Heller's death only to explain it away in about 10 seconds in ep 9.
SO lame, god. 24 writers come on...

The 24 writers never have had any balls... I remember thinking to myself "I can't believe they actually followed through". Just kidding!
Agree completely though, totally sours the previous episode.

Holy shit. I think i woke up my neighbors. LMAO.
To me, Heller more than willing was going to die, just as he's done twice before. They also implied that Chloe was racing to do anything she could with the drones, just didn't show it actually happen.
Something similar happened in season 2. Sayed Ali's kids, they showed them getting killed to him, to break him, only to show that it was a ruse.

I loved all those bits. So FUCKING good. Jack is the man. I would love for someone to make a .gif of the double window toss!

Never mind there it is. LOVE THIS GIF!!!!
That gif will never get old.
What was great was you KNEW something was going to happen and Jack was going to have one of his moments. But I wouldn't have guessed he'd be standing on top and waiting.
Absolutely love it.

I was mad at first because of the Heller thing, but man this episode was awesome.
Especially the double windows toss with him staring down and as mentioned above the teleport onto the fan unit. I just love this show so much. I hope we get another season next year.

Finally got my mom watching this show and she called me the instant Jack threw her out the window.
"Oh my God" like 3 times and laughing.
Think I got her hooked now, hopefully she goes back and finishes the 2nd half of season 1.

If you know the Red Wedding, you need to 'shop Bauer in
just before that moment and then cut to defenestration

Disappointed that Heller's still alive after all. Pah, cowards.
lol @ double defenestration though. Jack gives zero fucks about murdering someone in custody huh?

Goddamn, this was a fabulous episode. Margot out the window is an all-time great 24 moment.
As I think on how utterly ruthless Jack is, I have a feeling it's setting up to a moment where you wonder if Jack will do something horrible to Chloe, as she looks to be caught up in the new plot.
Can you imagine if they had filmed the Poker scene from Season 8 (instead of just the aftermath). Which would be "worse", Poker or Handcuff Defenestration?

Letting Heller was an atrocity and the writers of Episode 9 should be arrested. Thankfully throwing Margot out the window more than made up for it
I burst out laughing at that.
Things I liked about this episode:
- Throwing of the baby and the bathwater.
- Prime Ministers reaction to "You would have done the same thing"
- Kate getting some props from Jack.
- Jacks hidden parkour talent getting one up on that guy on the roof.
Things I disliked about this episode:
- Fingerprint phone.
- Jacks CIA contact was a missed opportunity to cameo someone from CTU. (Prior seasons spoilers
Incredible episode.

Wait, shit most of them are dead. Maybe Nadia? or um... Stephan Merchant?
Incredible episode.

I too thought about a CIA cameo. Could have been a sick one, like having Chase be the desk agent, or have Daniel Dae Kim come back as a CIA Agent Baker :lol
Also, the window deaths totally made me forget Jack's elevated kill :lol
Totally forgot about Daniel Dae Kim, that would've been amazing. I was actually hoping for Aaron, maybe he became a high-ranking CIA official or something.

I like the 12 episode length. Could you imagine if this was a FULL 24 episode season!? How many filler episodes would that have been.... There would be so many dumb subplots.

Wish it wasn't true but that Heller cop out was previewed last week's preview .
I'm ready to brush Jordan under the rug and just end this with the main villain gone.
But it's 24

God damn, throwing Cat Stark out the window is probably a top 10 moment of all-time for 24

Highly disappointed that Heller isn't dead. Completely soured me on the entire episode.
This is like S1 1-13 tier of well-plotted and paced-iness.

Loved loved loved the tossing of the cat. Couldn't believe it when I watched it. Didn't care about the Heller non-death because last week people pointed out all the issues with it and 24 is never going to kill off a president no matter what. He did sign his letter of resignation to be activated at 7pm, guess they shredded it.
