he walked by-- then you see Tony confront the kid... then the kid glances up, tony looks behind him to see what the kid is looking at, then BAM... right in the face.

Dayum.

ctu is really dumb about how they are handling everything.

i dont know why they didn't just sneak up and bust into the apartment without hesitation. and i don't know why they didn't just send a team of guys out to tackle that kid. why the f*ck do you need to reason with him? just get him. stupid

Does anyone question your mental state when they walk in on you? :D

Well Kev, CTU is a "government" agency and I'm sure they are following some "long-winded" protocol, meant to protect both the agents involved and the suspects IMO, beside it's make good TV :)

Chainsaw's make more noise :p.

I saw the chainsaw and was thinking WTF? And then they made the cut super huge. They should have just had the mother freak out and try to dump the cocaine as soon as they saw the cops and have the cops bust through the door like cops normally would.

And then, like someone said, why didn't they just take Kyle down? Bah, wasting time talking to him.

One reason why I think that they just would not tackle the snot out of Kyle is that they may be concerned with him wounding himself therefore causing a bleeding wound which in turn may spread the virus in a public location.

Wouldn't that be better than risking his escape? And then why didn't they have people close in around him as Tony got near? Or while Tony was talking to him? Very frustrating. :)

It seems pretty obvious to me that the carrier of the virus is Jack, through the heroine. His partner will come to his rescue in the end, and prove he's worthy of Kim.

Just my little hypothosis.

Considering the incubation time is, what, 14 hours? Shoots down that theory.

Yep, that's a dead theory.

I'm still pissed that CTU has another Mole.

Who the F does the background checks to these guys? A McJobber?

I'm glad Tony got shot. It makes it more realistic. About time he got wounded in action anyway.

And there WAS foreshadowing of it happening.

About 15 min. beforehand, Chase goes: "Tony? WTF? He's not field ops!"

So he doesn't have the split-second reflexes that Jack does to leap out of the way before getting shot. :)

I disagree. He took it prior to 24 even starting. They'll find out the kid was a rouse, then they'll cut to jack getting some new heroine from that guy inside CTU, which will be a prelude to them realizing he's the carrier.

Just my humble theory. :D

This keeps bugging me, isn't a virus that kills in 24hrs useless? With a 24hr virus, everyone will just stay at home for a few days until the virus has passed!

and btw, anyone else find david palmer's brother annoying?

well the father doing a piss poor job at convincing the kid not to run and simply turn himself in right away was pretty lame and convenient for the writers

Kim hasn't done anything that warrants her death yet
Hah! You spoke too soon, Zim. Tony's situation can be traced directly to Kim's asinine decision to tell Jack about her relationship with Chase. I swear we could set our watches to Kim's monumental f*ck-ups--they're like clockwork.

He's like a "male" Sherry
Shemale-rry?

Now that would be a plot twist... :p
