Yeah, it's bringing back memories of last season where the Chinese guys tunneled under CTU. So they came in through a maintenence tunnel? Was it airtight? Why didn't all the water come rushing in?
It seems like we're having a bipartite 24 season, and most of the story lines from the earlier part of the season got wrapped up a little neatly.
I realized that as much as gaymos hated the Kim Bauer story lines, they were really necessary for leavening the plot density and creating dramatic pacing (see: the part in season two when the atom bomb might go off at any minute, and they cut away to Kim in the bomb shelter with the survivalist.)
If the plot denity was leavened a little more than it has been the last few seasons, the writers wouldn't end up having to constantly one-up themselves.
Also, isn't Jeaeane worried that she'll damage her flash drives by just pulling them out hen she's done with them?
