User blog comment:Thief12/Thief12 and Season 8/@comment-118736-20100422052836

A friend of mine who watched the show also said that Jack taking the chopper was predictable, but honestly I had no idea that was going to happen. In fact I was guessing that Pavel or some Russian would start sniping at him, and he'd have to escape to save his life.

I have to say, the scene with Logan and Kanin ripping Taylor morally in half was some of the best dialogue this season. Gregory Itzin was in the ZONE for that scene! The man really is an amazing actor, and plus, Logan is the only character in the whole 24-verse who could conceivably turn Taylor to an immoral choice.

Taylor is otherwise such a reliable pillar of morality, especially at the end of Season 7 when she sacrificed her family... but now the devil himself finagles her moral conscience. If you boil it down, the scene was quite simple as Kanin was the angel on her right shoulder whispering into one ear, and Logan was the demon on her left... and the demon won out.

Excellent work tying Logan into an interesting situation, excellent writing and plot development. The best part is, we were all so stoked for Chloe being behind Jack and being in charge! Only the President could stop Jack in a Chloe-operated-CTU, and she did, and only Logan could turn Allison Taylor against her moral judgment.
