OK I'm just going to continue posting comments here and use it as a Season 8 discussion location :)

What did everyone think of that last episode? I have to say, as it got further and further into it, I realised that it was one of the worst episodes I've seen in some time. And I don't mean just of 24, of TV recently. I mean, the most under qualified team of field agents sent to intercept a group of terrorists... the hospital would be in pieces if Jack hadn't volunteered to go! Owen is useless and Hastings had tried to put him in charge of the mission.

Then when the terrorist actually got to Farhad's room and he realised that he was out of bullets and his bomb didn't work, why did Jack offer to take down his weapon!? Surely in any other circumstance he would have just taken down the kid before he could even think of jumping out the window. Then, it took him much too long to notice the car conveniently parked below the window that he could jump onto... if he'd seen it sooner he could easily have caught him. And then, a huge chamber that doesnt actually appear to do anything just waiting for someone to run in and lock themselves in! I'm sorry but if 24 continues on like this I don't know if I can watch.

The stuff with Jack and Renee is being done pretty badly too. I mean, first Jack tells Renee that she "has" him. Then she confirms what he meant in the next episode. Then in this one he reiterates it again, even telling her to go and "wait" at his apartment!! It just doesn't seem to make much sense to me.
