24 Feb 5th episode...SPOILER ALERT!

12:11:14 - End first segment
Jack and his dad escape the clutches of the henchmen hired by Jack's brother, Graham, to kill them (or were they really going to kill the dad too? we won't know for sure for awhile yet - the ONLY person I trust on this show is Jack Bauer). Cut to McCarthy and his wife discussing something. Apparently the casting director has something for a certain type of blonde because this one looks quite a bit like previous blondes (including Kim, to a degree).

12:23:30 - End second segment
Jack & co. burst into his brother's house and take him prisoner,readying him for interrogation. Graham's wife and son are taken to CTU as a precaution. Initial questions indicate that Jack's brother is being deceptive (BIG surprise!). Jack tells the agent to get something out of the van (didn't hear what - I assume some kind of torture type device to make interrogation go quicker) as the agent is heading back in, Jack's dad (James Cromwell of "Babe - The Pig fame"- good addition, I like that guy) gives the agent an odd look. Eill Jack torture his own brother? Can Jack's dad be trusted?

12:36:07 - End third segment
Awesome segment! during interrogation Graham reveals some nasty details (re: last season) and says a few things that send Jack off the deep end and Jack comes thisclose to killing his brother. (and possibly shooting a CTU agent as well). Only (it seemed) the appearance of Jack and Graham's dad brought Jack back to sanity. Like I said : Awesome Segment!

12:46:00 End fourth segment
President Palmer and his sister have a heat to heart talk regarding the terrorist-suspect detainee's and the unfair treatment they are receiving. Jack and his dad share a somewhat tender moment interupted by an agent letting Jack know that his brother has been stabilized and will be ready to go soon. Jack tells his dad that they have to go back to CTU, Jack's dad nods in understanding but says he needs a few moments. hmmmmmmm, what's up with that? I'm telling ya : I don't trust this guy.

12:59:59 End fifth segment
President Palmer shows some balls and brains and doesn't allow himself to be tricked/co-erced into drastic action. Chloe (mmm Chloe...mmm) & Milo discover that Morris has been duped into leaving CTU to go vist his brother. En routeMorris is kidnapped by McCarthy. Jack's dad goes to see Grahamwho is still tied up in the interrogation room (no guards?). It is revealed that Jack's dad IS in on it! I knew it! Jack's dad questions whther or not Graham can withstand more torture at CTU headquarters. Jack's dad utilizes the torture device, killing Graham and then starts screaming like Graham has had a seizure as a result of the interrogation. End episode

All in all, a pretty good episode. Much better than last week's. Last week wasn't bad , there just wasn't a lot of "24" style excitement. This week was different. This show gets better every year. Not many shows can say that.
