Yes to everything. This has to be the least exciting premier I've seen of this show. There's nothing happening that Jack is really invested in, or any of the characters, really. Even the Pres doesn't really care that much about the death threat on McGuffin, as long as she gets her deal. So all that has to happen is for them to delay the assassination for an hour and she's good. Thanks for playing, everybody! Jack, you can go home now, if you can get on a plane after breaking into the armory at CTU. (Thank you, MGiant.)

I want Layla to play a bigger role, too. She rocked The Border, but not so much here yet.
