Some Good And Bad People Surface & Resurface

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I knew my luck would run out sooner or later. These shows have been so good in recent weeks, one after the other, I felt it due to have an episode that was really annoying. I hope it's just this one and not all the remaining half dozen, too. It was still an entertaining 45 minutes, however.

The "annoying factor" is this dweeb who has taken over as President of the United States. How credible this character is, is questionable. Would anyone this high up in authority be this wimpy, this stupid? Oh, you just hope not, especially in a terrorist crisis. The behavior of President Logan is almost ludicrous. Only, perhaps, a peanut farmer in Georgia would act this ultra-Liberal in office, caring more about one citizen's right (even a thug like the guy pictured here) being violated by law enforcement more that he would about the safety of the country!!

Jack's girlfriend feels about the same way. I knew she was a jerk from the first episode, but I'm sorry I was right and have to watch this skinny, fickle idiot for 24 episodes. All the other characters at C.T.U. and elsewhere are fine They realize that perhaps saving the country from a nuclear attack might be a good thing. Even the pouting, tattletale, immature Chloe knows that.

Anyway, as expected, the President's actions cost Jack and the boys a great shot at finally capturing Marwan and - in another shocker - another familiar face comes back to the show: Dennis Haysbert, who played "President Palmer" for several years. He's asked to run the show against the terrorist because the new Prez admits he's a wimp and unable to do it. Well, at least he's honest.

Since most "24" characters seem to be filtering back this season, I wonder if anyone else from last season is still out there and available!
