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"

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.

    • Is AI actually replacing web developers in 2026 or just changing how they work?

      By FBSPL · Posted

      Around 68% of developers are now using AI to generate code during development, and some experts are saying that a single developer using AI tools can now do the work of an entire team of 4 to 5 engineers.  According to Figma's State of the Designer 2026 report, 72% of designers now use generative AI in their workflows and 91% say it improves the quality of their work, not just their speed.  But does this mean web developers and designers are becoming less relevant, or are they simply evolving into a different kind of role? Would love to hear from developers and designers here has AI made your job easier, or do you feel threatened by how fast these tools are improving
