If all the "transitional" or "set up" episodes were like this one...

Live Another Day is running out of time and reaching explosive turns. If you thought that this one wouldn't live up from the previous one: you are wrong. This is entertainment at its best. And I'm considering seriously to place this special event as one of the best things that 24 has ever give to the audience ever.

The confrontation between Jack and Navarro is very well done and ended in a spectacular fashion. Also that nice comeback to the London Underground trying to stop Chloe and Adrian reminded me to "Skyfall" (what a shame that Jack didn't go down stairs by a more epic way).

But I think that the some of highlights of this episode were the interrogation time between Kate and Navarro (intense), the argument between Audrey and Mark (excellent Tate Donovan) and the high tension in the final minutes of this episode.

What a terrific ride! One of the best and most consistent of the series by setting up every important plot point to the finale. I hope that the finale will live up my expectations.

Just when you thought it couldn't get better

Well, that escalated quickly. After the excellence of the last two episodes, I thought that the show was going to plateau. As it goes on 24, we elevated to the next level of villain to end the season. Adrian Cross was the man who carried on the torch, but I didn't see as much potential in Cross as there was in Margot. He is certainly menacing, but he didn't have plans to destroy cities with the override devise. That's when possibly the most evil villain in 24's history decided to step in. In 20 minutes of screen time, Cheng Zhi has made the moves to start World War III.... and there are only two episodes left to see the outcome of this.

I love how Jack seems so self-aware of how much of a beast he is in this season. One of my absolute favorite moments of this episode is when Jack told Navarro that when he was screaming at him that "This is me asking nicely." Jack has never been very quotable in the past 8 seasons, but I think that the are finally writing Jack excellent dialogue.

Mark has reached new lows in surrendering Jack in the middle of a job, and I cannot wait for Audrey to find out the true extent to which her husband is a scumbag. I also can't wait for when she finds out that Cheng Zhi is back in town and with a vengeance.

All in all, this episode was truly excellent. I love how this season keeps on stepping it up episode after episode. There seems to be no stopping 24: Live Another Day. There is a lot the writers need to do in these two episodes remaining in the best season since Season 5, but they haven't disappointed yet.

Every scene in this episode was flawless! The story flowed logically and cohesively, and all of the stars performances were top notch. The buildup to the final reveal of the episode was great, and it looks like all hell will break lose next week! This is what a great episode of 24 is made of. Great acting throughout and the scenes with Kate struggling with the news about her husband were my favorite. The only thing that I didn't like about this episode was Chloe's weak escape attempt. Chloe is basically a genius, and that's the best she could come up with? I was also happy they didn't waste a lot of time on getting Navaro to crack, but got to the point pretty quick. I can't wait to see what happens to Audrey's husband next week! Should be very exciting!
