My wife and I were only about a third of the way through before we missed one week, then a second, all the way up until nearly two thirds of the season had aired. We're now only two episodes behind and will probably be caught up by the end of next week. Some annoyances and notes:

  • Dana. That twist came out of left field and really didn't make any sense. She kills the overly persistent parole officer and suddenly has to call the terrorists, whereas nothing before even remotely hinted at her being a mole. And what annoyed me more than this "twist" was that after the reveal, her demeanor changed so that it matches a "bad guy" look. Shady eyes and all. Before twist: no shady eyes, just a nervous wreck. After twist: shady eyes and with a certain level of confidence. Yeah... and then when she finally gets caught, she keeps looking at the camera in the interrogation room with a menacing look. My wife jokingly said, "Now she has bags under her eyes to make her look more evil!" So silly.
  • The parole officer. Just when you thought the drawn out subplot with Dana's ex was over, this subplot comes along. It wouldn't have been so bad had the guy not been so annoyingly persistent and overly thorough: "You need an XYZ form." "Yeah, that's what my bud told me, here it is." How convenient. There is also a crisis that involves nuclear materials, an shortly thereafter an EMP goes off in CTU, and yet, the guy still persists and makes it seem like (in action, not words) his job is more important than the current crisis that threatens tens of thousands of people. I was so glad when Dana killed him.
  • Chloe. She pulled a gun on someone!? OH SNAP! The highlight of that episode for sure.
  • Hassan. The overly poofy Elvis caricature hair styled man is finally gone. I saw his death coming, just not in the manner it was executed (delayed video broadcast). Seriously though, I don't know how much more I could have taken watching him and his foot tall hair.
  • Kayla. Someone please kill her. Sure she's cute, but good grief everytime she talks I want to rip my ears off. /rant
  • Renay. I had a feeling she would die. After finally scoring with Jack and cuddling for the next hour, it was inevitable. Oh, and just when you think these people would finally eat or drink something, they get caught up in a conversation and don't. Jack was about to make some coffee and then he didn't. He went to get a drink and Renay gets shot. Ah well.
  • Chloe (again). She's the interim head of CTU? OH SNAP x2!!

The episode with Renay dying was the last one I saw. Watched the previews for the next episode and of course, Jack gets back involved. After the Hassan, though, you wonder, "Ok, what now? There's still 8 episodes left!" So they've thrown the Russians back into play, only different Russians, and now Logan is back again. Wished they would've mentioned something about being stabbed by Martha. Ah well. I'm thinking Logan has an ulterior motive here, but I haven't read any comments of the last two episodes, and I won't be back until I'm caught up. I may have missed an item or two above or forgot to mention some other silly items, but I'm more interested in this Russian part than I am with the IRK, especially with Logan involved. See you next week suckas! :D

That was WHOA!!!! Just watched it and it's so good and kinda sad at the sametime. I kinda believed her about wanting to turn her life around but she's still that kinda gal that will always be covering her own ass.

I saw it in her eyes too, she knew she was gonna be dead when she gave up the evidence. When she was like, what I can do and Jack said nothing, her eyes were kinda sad but knew what was coming next. I'm glad her story is over with but then again she got off kinda easy. LOL

I agree... He will probably claim self-defense and get off, but we know that he committed murder.

As if.

She got what was coming to her anyway.

Best of all next week it looks like early 24season Bauer is back to do some "interrogations"

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
