Anyway, a few random notes ...

Aside from introducing Philip Bauer, Monday's episode was largely moving a few plot points along with not much else.

I noticed that 24 has gotten into a pattern of alternating between the "good" wrongfully accused Muslims and the "bad" Muslims who are actual terrorists. Obviously, last night we found out that the guys at the detention facility were not terrorists. So, that would of course mean that our resident babe for this season, Nadia, will likely turn out to be a CTU mole. It's never a good thing when the CTU staff start sharing their passwords, and I have a feeling that either Nadia or Milo will turn out to be working with the terrorists. (I can see Nadia getting implicated, but Milo actually working with the terrorists since he was gone for an entire season and none of us know what he's been doing in his spare time!)

I still don't know about Philip Bauer. He turn out to be a very Machiavellian character, and Graham's just the stooge (in much the way that Walt Cummings was last season) who's doing Philip's dirty work without even knowing it. I read that this season was supposed to explore Jack's family destiny in more tragic terms, and IMO this is a much more interesting angle than the suitcase nukes or the detention camp storylines.

And like topspeed, I did see Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) on the Tonight Show. Personally, I think her whole mousy geek get up is hilarious. It might be real, but obviously she sees the comedic value in it. I've seen her do sketch comedy before, and she's got any number of other personas that can draw from. 24 is actually her first foray into a dramatic role. As a character though, Chloe seems to touch on a lot of different guy fetishes. She's a techie, IIRC she's also a sports fan, she sports a tattoo, and knows her way around lethal weapons of the XXL variety (who could ever forget Chloe going Rambo on those terrorist baddies during Day Four?)!
