Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
We’re only a few weeks into this abbreviated season of 24 and we’ve already had moments and episodes that feel like classic 24—the wild jailbreak, Jack’s near-suicidal plans and intense hours rich with suspense. Tonight continues the pattern by harkening back to another classic trope of 24: the time-killing hour that you can skip with little difficulty.
That’s not to say it’s bad, since the level of writing and acting on this show keeps a certain standard in place. But it is easily the least essential of the season thus far, as the bulk of the time is spent moving pieces into place for the coming weeks. And after last week’s largely action-free but still very compelling hour this week can’t help but suffer in comparison, as it too has little excitement until the closing minutes. The difference this week is that the lead-up to the surprise drone attack has hardly any of the tension and suspense of the previous hour.
