Holy crap! Did ya’ll see 24 tonight?

I heard from several sources about this being an episode not to miss, and that Fox would be airing repeats 2 more times later this week.

Finally revealed was Mitch Anderson’s mission.  I figured that when he was shown hijacking the plane, chances were that he’d be going to shoot down Air Force One. That was pretty much a given. Of course, I also thought Jack Badass Bauer would somehow stop him.

Holy crap! Jack could not stop him! Mitch fired off a rocket at Air Force One! Pretty freackin ballsy, if you ask me, of the writers to actually make this happen. However, AF1 was not completely destroyed, but suffered an “indirect hit.” Lame, IMO. They took a chance by doing this, so why not go all the way and blow it up completely?

Well, it was a worthy episode, but in the end, probably not the best of the season.

Thoughts on future shows:

• I believe this is a prelude to the return of David Palmer. The VP, now President, won’t know shit about being President, and will enlist the expertise of David Palmer.
  
• What else is a Habib Marwan up to? I dunno. Chances are he’s got like 5 other things lined up, and with about 8 more hours to go, i’d bet theres plenty of time for more havoc to be wreaked. And Behroooooooouz is still alive I believe. Habib will tell him the Americans killed his mother, and Behroooooooouz will get super angry and seek revenge on Jack Bauer.
