Final Comments
Romo: Best two hours of TV ever! Tony returned and is ready to torture Henderson into talking next week/hour. Jack was a solid as usual. Kim Bauer came back and looked hot. Curtis didn’t die. Rudy was Rudy! Edga’s death as the 40-year-old virgin, who never got any, was a classic ‘24′ moment. But let’s go back to the man, the legend, Tony Almeida. His heroic recovery and ripping out of the tubes to find out about his wife was, well Tony. I can’t wait to see what he does in the next 12 hours.
Rob: One would think that the return of God aka Tony Almeida, could not possibly be overshadowed. However, in death Edgar Stiles he did something he could not possibly have done while alive. The only way it would have been better, is if he had been off looking for food instead of Carrie.
Romo: He will now join his mom in heaven.
