So dudes, it turns out the man with no name, or Bluetooth Guy (BTG) as he is more commonly referred to, from last season who was behind everything and ordered the hit on Jack Bauer, is: Jack’s brother!!! Graham Bauer!!!

Holy crap!!!

Jack is trying to find his dad, who appears to have had some dealings with a Russian general who sold Abu Fayed the nuclear bombs. Father Bauer has apparently just left town, and the only way Jack can get to him is through Graham. Graham doesn’t know where dad is, but Jack isn’t buying it:

Jack: One more word comes out of your mouth that I don’t want to hearme where Dad is.

Jack: Tell me where Dad is.

Graham: I swear to you, I don’t know where he is. I swear to you on my family’s life.

Jack: (after a dramatic pause, and after realizing he is going soft after Chinese torture...) Not good enough.

Excellent Jack Bauer moment.

Jack then proceeds to knock Graham out and tie him up, and begins to inflict the Bauer Hurt™. On his brother! This leads me to believe Jack and Graham have some past history (aside from Jack having an affair with Graham’s wife). I can’t wait to find out. And I look forward to Jack finding out the truth about what his brother did in Day 5. I’m also looking forward to Jack meeting, and inflicting the Bauer Hurt™, on his dad, played by the talented James Cromwell.

Other notes and observations:

• I really don’t like D.B. Woodside as President Wayne Palmer. He just doesn’t have that presence of authority.
• I don’t like his sister, played by Regina King. She is rather weak.
• Graham’s son Joshua will turn out to be Jack’s illegitimate son.
• Who will Abu Fayed get to build the remaining nukes? My bet is on Graham.
• We have yet to see Jack with his trademark Bauer Bag.

I came across the Bauer Bag website while attempting to see if www.powerofbauer.com was registered. Much to my surprise, it was, and as as added bonus, I saw that someone actually sells the bag Jack uses on the show. I think i’ll get one, possibly for use as a second camera bag.
