24: Day 4
5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Arnold Vosloo standing from his desk as he sees Jack and understands he has nowhere else to go was pure genius. say what you will about The Mummy but the man has presence. that was one hell of a 'showdown'. now all the reactors have been saved (right? Edgar did a fine job. (ooh, and it's good to have Driscoll's daughter finally out of the picture.)) and we're only hitting the halfway point next week. Jack going after Marwan at the end of the episode was a great segue into the next storyline.

hey, Curtis grows some balls!! and what balls, man. that was sweet. he was fierce and in charge. i'm definitely on his team now (compared to before when he was just the guy who was bitter about Marianne being at CTU for 10 episodes).

i'm getting kind of tired of the old crazy Jack that we saw in the hotel room with Paul and Audrey. he seems to go from passive to crazy-ass in a matter of seconds and i'm not following him as easily as before. slow it down, Jack. slow it down. although, jealous and insecure Jack is a nice change of pace from previous seasons. keep it up.

the Dina/Tony showdown also gave me goosebumps. Carlos did his best but it was Shohreh Aghdashloo who stole the fucking show and made the most of what little artifice both had been given. she was stunning.
