24 8×10 — 1am – 2am: This was a mixed episode at best. The stuff with the Hassan family remains extremely boring and tiresome, but the scenes with the potential suicide bomber at the hospital were awesome. That felt like 24 back in the early seasons when tense action was a given on a weekly basis! I’ve recently been tuning out to these little chases with minor characters (like Josef and President Hassan’s brother) because I could tell right from the beginning that they would die. This suicide bomber, on the other hand, can go either way. I have a feeling that he’ll live, though, because CTU is out of leads/options if he dies. Plus, they didn’t bring Mare Winningham in just for that brief phone call scene, did they???
I’ve tried to reserve judgment on the Cole/Dana thing because I like Freddie Prinze, Jr. and think his character could be a good addition to the show. But man, their little subplot is just annoying and stupid at this point. How could Cole, the tactical field ops leader, be gone from his post for 2 hours in the middle of a crisis without having Hastings calling him every 5 minutes??? Ridiculous!
