Another day, another 6-7 episodes. They already found out that evil blonde reporter hacked into security protocols and might be trying to target Hassan. Not sure how Jack's going to figure into this, but with the president knowing and trusting him, he'll have his boots on the ground again soon, I reckon. It's a little funny to see Chloe be a computer noob at CTU instead of LV99 God Programmer like before. Even her IP tracing was slow, lol.

Russians trying to do some more explosion stuff. When will they ever learn! There's no way they'd waste these bombs on an early plot, so I guess the third act is looking at Chekhov's Nukes, haha. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.

Also, this subplot with the blonde chick and this random dude from her past who shows up and is blackmailing her...is awful. Like, within ten seconds, I thought to myself, "Nothing this season will be as bad as this." She should've left his ass in a van down by the river.

It's not 24 if someone doesn't have a mysterious figure from their past trying to drag them off down an irrelevant plot dead end, haha.

Dana Walsh is easily the worst part of season 8. I can't think of a single person who likes this subplot and it goes on way too goddamned long.

But yeah, Dana and her problems with this dude are SO stupid. He already invited some friend over and is trying to blackmail her into getting bank numbers (or something TBD). If she did something when she was a minor and got off easy, why does she care about this random dude's talk anyway?

Jack just took out some gangbangers on top of a parking garage. Reminds me of a GTA3 mission, just with a little blood.

Jack: *tries pulling off accent*
Guy: You're German.
Jack: Yeah
Guy: You sound a little British, too
Jack: I travelled a lot as a kid
Guy: Also, you have a very pronounced American accent
Jack: I went to college in America

lmao

He could speak German, though, so I guess he's legit.

Hmm, gonna take a break today and continue tomorrow. I kinda want to watch, but that subplot with Dana is just so bad, it's making me not want to watch, haha. Unlike other plot threads that are just poorly written, this one is also really cringey, so it's extra hard to get through.

I really liked the first half of S8.

The Dana stuff is very obviously terrible, but the Hassan storyline is great IMO, and is the closest the show had felt to S1 since, well, S1.

Yup.

One mandatory awful subplot per season, remember? Season 8 decided to get it out of the way out the gate. It stumbles so the last third can soar.

DANA IS SPY



Honestly, other than it ticking the "someone is a mole" box, I'm okay with this. She straight up garroted Jimmy James and hid his body in a wall panel, which got rid of a rather dumb subplot no one wanted to see. Ethan having a heart attack after learning about the president's traitors is kinda dumb, though.

Curious how this season will finish. They already got the dirty bomb (the only one???) and are about to free Hassan from his terrorist livestream. Might be a few eps of the main guy escaping or something, but that's not enough drama. He must have one more trick up his sleeve, a la "one last cannister of nerve gas" from a few seasons back.
