Mark is mini Logan , he is going behind Pres Heller back and lying to him and Audrey . This will all backfire on him . Not sure his aid / assistant,will stick to mark once heller finds out !

Kate no torture but psychological warfare seems to work. Turn a bad guy over to other drug gang , seems to loosen his tongue. Her chasing Jack at the US Embassy good scene .

Jack Jack oh how we missed you now Chloe has to deal with her situation. As jack fake id got changed .. Her "boss " has no idea who he screwed over ..

I can see , say in 2 ep , US will get this drone attack information.
I also can see the Pilot got arrested, fitting in to help stop the drones .

I think the setup with Kate and Ritter is too obvious. Majorly clashing at first, only to end up best buddies. Kinda like the new Jack and Tony.

I am not feeling anything about Margot's family. Too creepy for the sake of being too creepy. Makes me just want to fast forward the scenes.

It looks like Mark even underprepped Heller for the parliament address.

And poor Morris (and Carlo Rota). An off-screen death learnt from twitter. Ouch.

I am kinda getting tired of Jack wanting to be the wannabe hero this season. He is just too pig-headed to contact the authorities this year. What does he expect to do in that embassy, shoot his way in and out of there?

Probably... this Kate & Ritter thing does seem like that, I just hope none of them are a mole.

Very creepy... and it's mainly the Mother Margot who's the main creep.

Thank goodness I try to avoid all 24 spoilers, so it came as a shock to me! lol

100% disagree. There's no show if Jack doesn't be a hero, it's who he is. He's not a "wanna be" hero since he successfully was a hero for years, even though the government continue to betray him, he still go out his way to do whatever he can to save Presidents and so on.
From all my years of watching 24, we all know Jack will always find away. He's a very smart man.. and he knows things because guys at CTU, C.I.A, and the FBI does. Without Jack Bauer, they'd be very screwed... that's one reason I'm starting to dislike the quote "You were right Jack." I feel like we hear it every season, no one listens to Jack in the beginning only to find out he was right in the end.

The problem is they cannot listen to Jack this season, because Jack doesn't even bother to tell them anything. He just wants to do everything by himself. He can try, it is not like Brits screwed him before anyway. It is their country, he should pick up the phone and inform the authorities instead of doing everything by himself.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the british authorities would listen to a wanted criminal, telling them unbelievable stories without proof

When even his own country which he saved 8 times from a disaster doesn't listen to him.

Jack has to find proof before he can contact any authorities. Just like he does every day

The episode was nice. It had the right atmosphere after the first two episodes. Slowing the story down is very good at this point.

I don't think and I hope there'll be no time for a mole. It would be good to have a season without a mole.

I liked the scene with Yvonne. She's a smart agent and I hope she'll team up with Jack soon.

Looking forward to next week but sadly there are just 9 episodes left

It's going to go by so quickly.

Right I saw the episode tonight. I'm just so happy its back. Great episode.

Right, first off, Chloe's bombshell... Tia you say you were annoyed about Chloe losing the suspect- I wasn't, as it was obvious that something was seriously bothering her. Like I said last week, I thought that Chloe was in England due to Morris taking custody of Prescott and her trying to find them. And months and months ago when that story came out about about how Chloe 'lost her son', I always took that to mean that she lost custody, and even if her son had died, I always assumed that it was something to do with Chloe's role in hiding Jack or whatever, and Morris was so griefstricken and disgusted with Chloe's loyalty, that he left her (and would have been very in character for him IMO). So the fact that he died too, really shocked me. Didn't upset me persay, as I'm not a fan of the character, but I still think he's not dead, in an Audrey-faked-death type thing... But I'm loving this dark Chloe. It's a really interesting direction for the character, as I think she was barely in S7 and wasn't brilliant in S8, so I'm finding this storyline really interesting and I thought that the scene in the car was just some really awesome acting from both Kiefer and Mary Lynn. Even though horrific events could be unfolding, Jack still shows concern and care for one of his most loyal friends. Magic scene.

Scenes on the tube were cool. But I like that Jack is going to some of the grittier, less tourist type places.

Margo has the potential to be an awesome, awesome villain. She's really creepy and sinister. The son-in-law Navid, however, is annoying, bland and wet. Just irritating. My call is that within the next 4 episodes, Simone will have killed him.

That was established in Episode 1...

I thought that Audrey went from being good and strong, to weak, to strong again. I'm really enjoying Heller, for the first time since Season 4. Also like Stephen Fry but I think he's been underused imo. Hope for more over the next few weeks. Mark is getting more and more annoying by the scene. Really wanted to punch him on several occasions. He's getting towards the Miles level and its only episode 3!

Didn't see too much of Navarro, but when he was seen, he was been weak and spineless as per. Really want to see more of Jordan, who was Kate's only ally in the first episode.

Erik didn't annoy me too much today. Thought he was better than he was in opening episodes. Kate, though, was genius with that move with the suspect getting him to talk. Brilliant.

Adrian Cross wins my Weazle of the Week award. Still got the potential to be a great character, but that was a really slimy thing to do.

I thought the ending was sad and unrealistic with Parliament attacking Heller in such a way. But it was a great ending with Kate chasing Jack after Jack creates a riot to sneak into Embassy...

I'm sorry, but this guy is one of the most wanted terrorists in the world- the writers have described Jack as not quite Bin Laden, but not far off. He can't exactly stroll into the police station/CIA/authorities, tell them that their solid info on the drone attack is wrong and that the President, who he is suspected of targeting, is under threat by a group of their own drones that have fallen under the control of a psycho family can he? He'd be laughed out the door, then brought back through the door, put him under arrest, torture him, then send him back to the US for trial and possible death penalty for international terrorism charges. So not exactly a great outlook for the guy! And tbh, if anything, he's doing more to contact the authorities than he did in previous seasons- I mean, he's actually trying to contact the President. He trusts him. He wants to save his life more than he values his own freedom.

So yeah... those are my thoughts...

Totally agreed RE Jack being awesome.

See, I think it could add a really interesting dynamic- with Jack feeling guilty, Chloe maybe blaming Jack a bit. It's quite interesting, how Jack in S1 lost his wife and unborn child, in S5 Tony lost his wife and unborn child and now Chloe's lost her husband and son. It'll be interesting to compare how their reactions differ and what similarities can be drawn.

She was actually addressed as Mrs Boudreau in Episode 1... by Mark's advisor... type guy.

Here's 5 things I learnt from episode 3...
