I thought the Olivia Taylor drama took up Waaaaay to much screen time. I was like “Can we go back to the hospital stuff now?” Even thought, I am so impressed with Cherry Jones as the POTUS. I was saddened with Henry Taylor’s siding with Olivia. I understood it, but I was still sad.

The ending was mostly predictable, but that didn’t really bother me. I WANTED it to end with Jack comatose and Kim donating the stem cells.

Tony. Sorry. I just don’t have any sympathy for him. I am wondering if he is insane, but he is way too functional for that. I wouldn’t put it past the writers to have Day 8 be the day of his execution.

The writers have also taken some of the critisism to heart: Jack may be the Ubermench, but he is not invulnrable. The recovery will take time. He will be back up to full strength for Day 8 because 24 takes place in some sort of near future/alternate universe with more advanced medicine or something.

I WAS surprised that Jack requested a visit by Gohar. I thought the actor playing the Iman was very good, understated and dignified. Another illustration of the great care taken to cast minor characters.

BTW, thanks for the icon.
