Was it just me or was Carl in love with Jack? Okay, maybe it was just me. Although he really looked like he wanted a kiss goodbye... :D
It looks like the scenario is based on Rwanda, but takes place in a fictional African country. Very telling in how the outgoing U.S. President was talking about not getting involved because there was nothing there of interest like oil or resources. (The dickish President Daniels who got into office when Wayne Palmer was victim to an assassination plot. Hmm. I can't remember if he died or just became incapacitated.)
But there's a new President in town - Allison Taylor - who does seem to have a beating heart, so I expect there will be U.S. intervention. Along with a side plot of something involving an agent in the Secret Service and shadowy Jon Voigt who's been funding the genocide. Maybe a President Daniels involvement as well?
The Jack part of the story involves a subpoena (MWAH) and him winding up in U.S. custody due to helping to get his now-dead boyfriend's students out of the country. (Can't Jack keep any of his loves??) There's lots of running and shooting and throwing dynamite, but the really important thing to know is that Jack killed a man with his thighs.
I was pretty impressed with the casting they did on this. It wasn't filled with A-list celebs, but heavyweights. People you tend to recognize but can't name (since they're usually never the star of whatever show) but they have CHOPS.
On to January, where hopefully Chloe will appear to scowl at Jack, Jack tersely whisper "dammit, Chloe!" and all will be right with the world.

Obviously because of Carl's preclusion to perform "The Full Monty" at unexpected times.

I seem to recall Daniels actually being somewhat involved in that plot.

Now we know that Jack can do anything if required. Obviously a massively important thing.
People you tend to recognize but can't name
Exactly. I thought they did a good job with that. Even the cameo for Peter McNichols was good.
they have CHOPS.
No, that was just the chief political officer from the US Embassy.
where hopefully Chloe will appear to scowl at Jack
From what I can see, Chloe will appear in all 24 episodes of Day 7.
Jack tersely whisper "dammit, Chloe!"
If I were the father of Chloe's child, I'd be worried about the Jack/Chloe love.
all will be right with the world.
Absolutely!

That must have been it. :D

Was he? Could be. It's been way too long.

HEH. When sideburns go very, very wrong.

He should be!

It definitely wasn't just you! It really really felt like they were going to kiss. I had to keep reminding myself that it was very unlikely they were really going to. It confused me.

YES. I <3 Jack Bauer's mad killing skills.
The thing that impressed me, casting-wise, is that the vast majority of the Africans were, in fact, locals. All of TPTB and stars couldn't say enough good things about them. I love that they shot on location and used local actors -- that adds so much to it, IMO.
Bring on January!

I know! The looks they kept giving each other. Especially Carl!

*snorts* I'm pretty sure he could kill a man using only a live chicken.

Yes! It's great they actually went to Africa.

A) You like 24 too! Dude. I'm totally going to marry you. Or...admire you from afar. Yeah, maybe that instead.
B)"There's lots of running and shooting and throwing dynamite, but the really important thing to know is that Jack killed a man with his thighs." Hell yeah! That was badass, LOL!

He totally was, I thought it was just me.
I think he's a veggi in some hospital bed. Daniels put him there come to think of it.
Guess Daniels was involved because they killed that guy who was POTUS's son's friend.
Nope it's his curse. And the one's that stay alive turn evil because they've gone insane over grief.
Okay so I don't give a damn how why and in what way Tony comes back as long as he's back.
You doubted he could?
That's the one thing I missed in these two hours was Chloe.

There were LOOKS.

Awww. Tony was awesome. It's sad they killed him off.
