24 - no body count
This episode is what you'd call a time killer. Sure the lines between the good guys vs the bad guys are pretty well set one still has to wonder though who else is dirty in the administration or at CTU? How else did one arm doctor (ER reference to Dr. Romano)find out Chloe called old lady Hayes at CTU?
Best line of the night for me was the exchange between Bill and career political appointee Miles:
Miles: What is Bauer doing on Flight #520?
Bill: You have no idea what you are doing you little ass-kisser
Give the writers an Oscar or whatever self congratulations they like to bestow upon themselves.
We did learn that unlike most jets, the luggage compartment was pressurized, so that was good. It's amazing how Jack knew exactly what panel to remove to mess with the aileron cables. Other moments of suspended belief: a passenger was actually going to take Jack down - nice attempt at bravery - don't you know that Jack is a one man swat team? What about the dirty co-pilot saying don't shoot me, I am the only one that can fly this plane? If I know Chloe and Jack, we'd have a Matrix like moment where Jack would call to Chloe and ask her for flight instructions for a Lear Jet - Chloe would do her best imitation of Tank and upload the instructions.
