So no one has seen it yet this week? I just saw it on hulu.com and don't want to spoil it for the rest of you. A lot of surprises, I'll tell ya!

Saw it this morning.

Man, did they lose some writers or something? The script seems a little ham-fisted at times.

I'm not feeling like looking up the names of all the minor characters at the moment.

***************** SPOILERS FOLLOW ******************

As I predicted (I think), Janis figured out something was going on with...that guy and the blonde. For an accomplice to torture, she sure did go all morality police all of a sudden. I wish I could say I was from Juneau, then I would be offended at the suggestion that being transferred there would be something awful.

Wheelchair girl did her homework! Good for her! Now is he going to try to break up with the girl, end up taking her hostage, or is he going to kill wheelchair girl just to be on the "safe" side.

Wasn't Ethan supposed to be evil in the Season 6.5 movie, or was it left ambiguous? He seems to be a good guy at the moment.

Best part: did you see Jack's body language when Renee said she knew Larry pretty well? As if he was taking some horrible tasting medicine! While he was saying "Fine!"

I don’t think it’s that the show lost writers, I think the writers are out of ideas.

First off, do we need to worry about spoilers in here? I wasn’t because I figured anyone who hasn’t seen the episode would know not to click on an episode thread?

I’m wondering if Janis is going to be the FBI mole ala Season 2 Spoiler Nina in Season 2. /Season 2 Spoiler

I had a favorite line in this one when Jack was responding to the President’s question as to whether or not she could trust him; “With all due respect Madame President, ask around.” Go Jack! Same goes for him telling off Larry, it was great to see and was about time someone did it.

Dubaku having a girlfriend threw me for a loop. Just like being afraid of Jack, it doesn’t fit his character to leave that sort of loose end.

I had the same idea about Ethan, moviemeh, but I’m not sure where I got the idea from. It could have been the 6.5 Redemption special. I still don’t think the President should trust him as much as she does especially after being told there are leaks in her administration.

I thought Larry was going to give Renee a hug there for a second. Then Jack was there with them in the next frame, the moment passed.

It sure looked like it. The character is too emotional for the job he has, imo. This must be (or have been, that's not really clear yet) a whopper of a relationship between them.

It did me too at first, but then I accepted it: terrorists need love, too!

Dangit, I didn't finish this episode and am too lazy to watch it on hulu, so I'll just read the ep synopsis on the Fox website. :)

I wish I could have seen that "With all due respect Madame President, ask around" scene with Jack. Shouldn't Jack's name be in that President's Book of Secrets I heard about in that National Treasure 2 movie. He should have a little note under his picture saying "If you need your life saved in 24 hours, call Jack". :)
