That's what I was going to say, Thief. That last episode was 24 at its best. Jack on his own, breaking away and killing all of Sergei's men. I thought that was amazing. In fact, I wouldn't have minded if they spanned his escape out over 2 episodes. The only thing I wasn't sure about was the whole ending... it seems a bit mad that the character who I can only ever know as Julian Sark (for all you Alias fans) just ran away to complete the transfer with Farad. It hasn't seemed that he had that much initiative so far and it felt like another way to extend the plot. I'm just waiting for the inevitable showdown between Sark and Jack. That is going to ROCK.

With regards to Laitanan's death, I thought it was just absurd. Jack was BEHIND the sofa, how did he manage to knife him? That's beyond Jack-Bauer style and entering the realm of Jason Bourne. Also Thief I agree with you about how not much was made of Renee stabbing Jack. That would have been an interesting idea to follow for a bit.
