User Reviews

Tony & Michelle & Jack & Paul

Well, we start off with the shocker, which pertains to "Tony Almeida" (Carlos Bernard) and his ex-wife "Michelle" (Reiko Aylesworth) a regular on last year's show. It's always good to see Reiko back, even if it's a short stay.

Plus, it's another way for the show's writers to continue some personal stories along with all the tension and action of battling terrorists non-stop. It helps to balance the show and supposedly, it helps with the ratings by getting more female viewers to watch.

The big action scene is Jack and Paul trying to get out the the Rockland Buidliing, headquarters for McLennan-Forster, and then making a stand at a sporting goods store nearby. Even more important is some encrypted code they were able to obtain. McLenna-Forster execs, who hire professional hit men, want that as badly as the C.T.U. so many people are headed toward our two guys - either to rescue them or kill them.
