Jack finds out about Chase and Kim, CTU does..something, Jack and Chase check out David Goss's last known address, and get the name Kyle Singer.

You may have noticed that this review comes particlurlay late, my apologises, busy with other content for the site, school homework/coursework most of which I should have done ages ago, and just the fact that my thoughts on the show have started to become rather random, and putting them into some kind of stucture sounded like a huge task. Anyway, to combat this problem, future review including this one will merely be my thoughts in probably no kind of coherent order (from start to finish of episode, depending when they occured to me if your lucky).

Right, on with the show. It's episode 3, it has a lot to stand up to, as this time last series, we had CTU being blown up and a major, and very well loved character being told he was gonna die, amongst other things. So can it hold it's on against what's gone before. Before viewing the episode I wasn't sure, thought it could go either way.

Early on in this episode, we get the now mandatory, hector and claudia doing something drug lord and drug lord's girlfriend ish, this time it was claudia putting on a dress while hector got an update from gael (traitor!!!!!!), this is starting to bug me a little, this hector guy is on his mobile more than jack is, and long term fans of the show will know that is saying something. Anyway, my point is that Hector I feel is to far away from the action, he can't be a great bad guy if he's miles away from the action.

Back at CTU, there in another meeting!!!, anyone get the feeling they really don't want to us to forget what's going on?, that's what it feels like, these scenes just smack of Fox Network Exec's putting pressure on writers to ensure new viewers can join the program anytime they want. Which in theory is good, the more who get to see this wonderful program the better, but not when it has results like this. At moment, CTU have had atleast one meeting an episode, oh and surprise, surprise, they've all been at the start of the episode!. I'll save the rest of that rant for another day. Oh, one more thing on this, 16 minutes into the hour, there still having this meeting!!!!!!!, blood boiling, can't type......

....I've just about come round, back to the episode, Kim and Chase and very little to do this episode, for Chase I guess that was the point, for kim, well it's kim, her wages are listing under set decoration in the show's budget. The only thing they really get to do, is muse over how unfair, jack is being. There seems to be some tension between kim and chase, trouble in paradise I wonder?

I've talked about how uneffective hector is as a baddie, now for the reverse for ramon, he's got some great lines, he's drives people like Luis Annicon up the wall, and for me he's coming close to Gaines as my favorite baddie in all of 24.

The cliffhanger was meant to be huge!!!!!, and kind of was, put it just wasn't done that well, or atleast I didn't think, and I know that some other people think the same, naming no names, (maybe for the right price?!), but it seemed odd, slightly absurd, and it lingered to long.

Time checks

1 Hour until the polotical debate. Hector wants Ramon released in the Next 3 Hours Kyle contagious in 3 hours.
