So Is Tonight Good-Bye Tony Almeida?
If you're not up-to-date on "24", and have recorded but not yet watched, last week or two weeks ago episodes of "24", skip this.

Okay, two weeks ago I asked myself, in what direction is "24" going? I mean, the writers are too good to let this season develop into a week after week series of "chase the nerve gas canisters". So...where are they going?
Two weeks ago the character of Edgar - bless his heart - was killed at the end of the episode. CTU HQ was flooded with nerve gas and Edgar didn't make it to a safe-room in time. Chloe, inside a safe-room along with others, watched Edgar die. Good-bye Edgar, we will all miss you.
Last week, Sean Astin's character Lynn McGill and a fellow CTU Agent died in what was a mission where their characters knew their lives would be compromised, but others would live because of it. They undertook the mission, to turn off a computer that only they could access because of nerve gas exposure. They were exposed to the gas and died but their heroic act enabled the others to survive.
I think Peter Weller is a fine actor, but his character is really pi**ing me off, I'd like to beat him with a tire iron. And last week, Christopher Henderson (Peter Weller), playing possum on an interrogation gurney, turns the ropes on Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) by injecting Tony with a deadly dose of the interrogation injection meant for Henderson. The ending had Bauer yelling for help while he held onto Tony, so it is vague enough that Tony may not be dead. Or is he? Dang you "24" writers.....
There has to be a vicious ending to the Henderson character, something that will make Weller's death scene in "Robocop" look like Sunday morning Mass.
President Logan is at a crisis of whether to enact Marshall Law or not, the Vice President (Ray "Leland 'Twin Peaks' Palmer" Wise) pushing for Marshall Law for his own political purposes.
And I'm guessing in tonight's episode all loose ends will be tied up in a gift-wrapped box with a pretty bow.
Or not.
