he is Indian...isn't he the guy from "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle?"
I guess he can be from Kasmir.....
They covered all the liberal talking points ,but all in all it wasn't as as it could have been.
Jack recovering from two years of Chinese torture was kind of remarkable and Cloey's new BF looks like he is going to sell out to the bad guys before the end of the season...she has such poor taste in men.

they are like the 50's movies where they have folks like Kirk Douglas
and Charles Bronson playing Native Americans.
How are we supposed to be afraid of Kumar?

I think that's kind of the point. He's not really supposed to scary on the outside, the whole "sleeper cell" thing.

Good to have him on your side.
Though I wonder how many men would continue to support the USA after being sold out - repeatedly! - by the powers-that-be. The script writers really, really seem to be saying our government is thoroughly, criminally corrupt at every level.
Little trivia bit: Notice that the reformed terrorist is Alexander Siddig, the guy who played the doctor on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine?" He used to go by Siddig El Fadil, but about halfway through ST:DS9 he changed his name. (He's Sudanese, by the way.)

i think cloe's bo will be suspected of treason then found to be inocent, possible to late.
only real gripe i have is that subway door seemed really weak.
and we all know that the bad guys they are chasing now are the small fry and we wont see the big bad guys till later in the series.

I was bothered by the statement that the Japanese and Italian(not mentioned) nationals internment during WWII was a "great shame" of our nation.
Then later it was said that if we interned middle eastern men that "this nation would not be able to heal itself and survive"
Interesting how we survived the internment of WWII. Not only survived but thrived.
I have also read numerous accounts from Japanese and Italian origin citizens that were interned. Most stated they didn't like it, it wasn't a fun experience, but all knew it was neccessary.
And if it was such a great shame how come there wasn't a major movement afterwards to "right the wrong"?
I was glad to see the muslim organization leader (the one boinking the Presidents sister) stand up to her and point out that, while it seemed bad as first, he realised that there were men that were interned that DESERVED IT.
I have to say the one thing that bugs the hell out of me on 24 and this applies to all seasons.
Is the portrayal of those in highend law enforcement as high school drama queens.
Honestly if we have that kind of crap going on in those agencies all the time, then we have a systemic problem.
The death of Curtis was unexpected, and certainly up for debate.
I doubt an individual in his possition would be that worked up over ancient history. And would understand the magnitude of the situation.
It's another stab at the professionalism of our highlevel security agents.
I guess I better wait till tomorrow to post any further discussion. Since most have not seen tonights 2 hours

I know!!! Hollywood writers are so dang lame sometimes, is it impossible for them to do any research?
They are still stuck in High School emotionally I guess.

So The kids dad has enough and is willing to kill a grown man but
can't take on Kumar? it was obvious the kid hostage has never been on
THR or he would have known that he had a chance to strike with his hidden knife.
Not bad though, it looks like Jack is back now...KABOOM!

Once he got the device in his possession that's when I would have gone to the authorities.
That and he had several opportunities to overcome Kumar.
I am always amazed at situations where a BG has a gun on you at point blank range. That is the best position to be in.. as opposed to being back 3-5 feet. At point blank you have a good chance you can wrestle it from him. I'd take the chance. Especially when your dealing with a middle eastern man. (Sorry my peaceful Arab brothers, but you brought it on by not taking down the radical regimes that you've allowed to take over your fellow peaceful brothers)

I guess it's easier then to talk about the real issues, I found it a little to liberal for my taste
but thts the way addictions are.

I swear, Hollywood writers are so dim!.....half of the thr crew could write better
lines then that!!!
A nuke goes off and any administration will declare martial law immediately, except it would be far worse under a libby admin.
That being said, this introduction of Jacks Family is very interesting.
I bet his "nephew" is really his son, part of the reason why his brother hates him so much.
...why didn't EMP's knock out the cell phones?
...back to nukes...no way the country would be as calm as they portray it....

Jack's likely take on family: "The only innocent Bauer relative is a dead one."
I also find it hard to believe that if Al-Assad had beheaded American servicemen (on camera no less) that anybody would let him walk around unbound or be the slightest bit civil to him.
