eh, not exactly the best opening.

but i did like bauer's lost-boys moment. plus, i liked the possiblity that he's gone soft. hopefully he'll struggle through this for a few hours and then just completely snap.

[bueno bob]

I'm gonna try it...

Damn it, Poj, you'd better be right!

Wonder if it's just a coincidence that President Palmer II's chief of staff (or whatever he is) looks a lot like that snivelling little PNAC bitch Bill Kristol?

Acts a lot like him too......

[DrMaddVibe]

He didn't snap last night when he drilled Curtis in the throat!

Poor Curtis..... I had a feeling he was going to buy the farm by the end of the episode.

I would like to know how the Hell Jack avoids radiation sickness though. He had to have been within a few miles of that nuke.

nah, dude, i'm talking about a massive killing spree snap. you know, he's all concerned he might've lost his nerve, pussy-foots around for a bit and then when he gets pushed just a bit too far, it's body bag count for the bad guys.


and FORD, i don't think a 1 kiloton blast has that much immediate radiation. as long as you're not right near ground zero, you'll avoid most of the initial radition. and the radioactive fallout will probably only hit a few square miles, and even that will take a prolonged exposure to do any real damage.

in short, i think jack will be fine. well, that's fine until he snaps...

It's all right...Jack MIGHT spare you!

[amadeus]

I don't think Curtis is dead. I know, we aren't stupid and it looked 'plain as day' that he was but why wouldn't anyone even attempt to try and do something. I think it was just a way to make Assad trust Jack a little more since Curtis made it clear to Assad that he remembered what he had done to his troops, Assad may not be as helpful unless he thought Curtis was 'dead'. Jack will come back around and once Assad is no longer useful, Jack will turn on him and we will see Curtis back.

[DrMaddVibe]

There's no doubt that Jack will take Assad out...BUT

"9:53 A.M.
Jack finds Curtis outside with his gun held up to Assad’s forehead. Jack tells him to put down his weapon by order of the President. Curtis refuses. Jack says that he gave Assad his word that he would protect him. As Curtis keeps his gun trained, Jack begs him to stop. “I can’t let this animal live,” Curtis says. Jack shoots Curtis in the neck and the TAC members shuffle Assad to safety.

9:55 A.M.
Jack drops his gun and raises his hands in a gesture not of surrender but of despair at Curtis’s death. Jack walks away in tears. He vomits and falls to the ground.

9:56 A.M.
Buchanan calls Jack after hearing what happened and tries to bolster his spirits. “Tell the President I’m sorry,” Jack says. “I can’t do this anymore.” Buchanan beseeches him to continue with the mission because he is needed. Jack says he is done and hangs up. He continues sobbing."

That's listed on the official website.

So Jack believes he killed Curtis, and is literally sick about it. But that still doesn't mean he has to be dead. It was one bullet in the neck, and since it wasn't a huge pool of blood, one wouldn't think the carotid artery was severed. Only other possibility was if a bullet was lodged in his windpipe causing asphyxiation.

And if that was the case, I'm sure that someone there knew how to do an emergency tracheotomy. That's basic first aid training, which I'm sure all of CTU (like any government employees) are required to know.

I wouldn't be surprised if the return of Curtis becomes a plot twist at the end of the day. In fact, the bigger twist would be him saving Jack's ass from Assad, should that become necessary as some have suggested it might.

He looked like the singer for Nickelback when he walked off the plane. Funny thing is, those were probably thumb cuffs around his wrists!
