Well I'd be interesting to know the very general plot without any twist spoilers (ie dont tell me who dies and who doublecrosses) - is Kim involved and do they get her in the plot without a crowbar this time? I know the presidents still in it, is his wife? That'll do for starters.
Thanks to suprnova I too have been enjoying the Jack Bauer power hour every wednesday.

Yes, Kim is involved quite a bit in this series, working in CTU, which I find a bit implausable, but it has kept her out of harms way/random cougars/surivalist nutters etc. A very general plot synopsis... well, an imprisoned Mexican crime lord has had a corpse infected with a deadly virus dumped outside a building in L.A. and is threatening a widescale release if he isn't freed. Pres. Palmer is in L.A. for a televised debate (his brother is now Chief of Staff), Jack has a new partner (from now on referred to as Charlie Brown) who's secretly involved with Kim. Jack also has an equine problem... Sherry has been banished to the wilderness thanks to her machinations in series 2. Michelle still hasn't got naked.

It's been very good so far, on a par with series 2 for me, and there's a great "What the FUCK?" moment at the end of episode 7 (7-8pm) .
