Some things that I am thinking about

Pretty solid episode with a dramatic ending. Kalil martyring himself was pretty cool.

What is up with Marianne? Is she evil or is she just an annoying person?

Where are all the hot girls? Ok Jack’s new girlfriend is hot but she is now captive and captives never look hot.

What is in the briefcase? Is it some sort of computer program tied into this virus they have planned?

Will Jack take a nap sometime during these 24 hours?

What else do the bad guys have planned?

Is it just me or do you have concerns about portraying the bad guys as Arab terrorists? Isn’t that just feeding people who are prejudice to all Muslims especially those that look they are from the Mid-East?
