24. Season 8, Episode 17. "8:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m." Chloe promoted!
A truly amazing episode.
Heart-breaking performance from Necar Zadegan and a wonderful (but expected) continuation of the Peace Talks story. I've really grown fond of this character and seeing her take up the reins like this was epic and touching.
Chloe's promotion was also epic. Totally unexpected and truly superb.
The head to head between Cherry Jones and Gregory Itzin was also epic, giving Jones her best material this season. Having Logan in the game simply raises the stakes to a new level.
Finally, the death of a beloved regular wasn't epic, just heartbreaking. So, so sad. I wish things hadn't gone down this way.
24. Season 8, Episode 18. "9:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m." Taylor at CTU.
Charles Logan is awesome. Watching his go into action was one of the (many) highlights of this episode. First with the Russian bad guy, and then showing his sneaky side, and - finally - trying to convince Taylor to do the wrong/right thing. A great scene for Bob Gunton, Gregory Itzin and Cherry Jones.
Another highlight of the episode was all of the conflict. Jack vs. Chloe is not something we ever wanted to see, but it makes for incredibly compelling television. And then there is the Jack vs. Taylor stuff that occupies much of the episode. Truly gripping.
