Tons Of Suspense!

This episode was good in that it calmed things down, action-wise, but yet had tremendous suspense, making it an excellent hour. The suspense involves one thing: does the government shoot down the helicopter carrying good-guy "Jack Bauer" (Keifer Sutherland) and terrorist bad-guy "Ramon Salazar" (Joaquim de Almeida)?

I didn't mind a break in the action because the following week was mostly that with the prison break. The strategy of Bauer, the workings of the CTU, the involvement of Jack's friend - The President Of the United States, all make this a riveting episode. The sidebar stories include the President having his nationally-televised and then having to leave it to attend to Bauer's situation; a shocking revelation concerning the health of Kyle Singer and "Gael," the mole at the CTU, walking in on Kim with a gun.

Wow, these shows are intense. This is my first look at this series and I'm worn out.....and I'm only a fourth of the way through the 24 hours!
