Not often I feel compelled to post about a TV show but as someone who just waits for Sky and doesn't go via various sources to see the US episodes (assuming they're ahead) all I can say is OMG I never saw that coming!

but....is it not like them having a flying hippo take a dump on jacks head....you wouldnt see that coming either and it would create about as big a lot hole as what happened last night. quite frankly they may as well have booby walk out the shower if they are going to write it in that way. feels like that game where various people all draw a part of a person then you open up the paper and see what it looks like as a whole.....normally, crap!

It will be interesting to see how they make sense out of it, given what he'd done about 20 minutes earlier. IYSWIM.

In other news, was nicer to see Kim back.

Although nicer to see her in a mudfight with Agent Walker.

The US are ahead.Why have they not cure Jack yet because it is very easy to see what happens.

Are you talking about episode 18 being the last one you've seen?

I don't keep track of episode numbers, just know it was the one from Monday.

When 24 was new I recall a documentary where they said they don't have all 25 episodes written/planned when they start filming, characters often find out they're going to die right before they do.

Regards the hole in the plot, yes I did wonder that but I'm assuming it's part of a "bigger more evil" plan and all will be revealed..

Apparently they had a break in filming to reconfigure the storyline after this episode. But true I didn't see that coming either.

They continually play with the viewer to mislead what is happening. eg When Renee buried alive she gets the silent clock usually taken as indication of a lead character death. Larry Moss did not get the silent clock yet they played the same musice as for Renee buried scene. Make of that what you will.

Was really starting to like Larry Moss aswell frown

Can't possibly think how this twist is going to unwind though, unless Moss isnt actually dead, and Tony just preteneded to suffocate him so that he can give the bio-weapon to the next bad guy and then FBI can arrest him etc..

Unlikely though

Yeah I agree, based upon what he did in the previous episode (blowing up rig) and everything else he'd done "today", to then twist does seem very odd.

It's turned him into a double double double agent (I think that's enough doubles). I can't believe he will turn back to "good" again, because he seemingly killed Larry Moss.

I did wonder if they were going to kill him when he and rene had that "let's talk after today, it's been emotional" chat over the radio.

yes
Isn't Renee cast as Jack's love interest in day 8? Therefore they had to lose Larry at some point.

oops hush my big mouth. hehe

Although Renee is getting almost as annoying as Olivia. Never seen a bust lip heal so fast as President Taylor's appears to be doing. rolleyes

Perhaps his own agenda isn't to release it on the States, maybe he has something else planned.

Larry had been annoying me for a number of weeks now but that was still a shock.
