Well done so far.The pacing is steadier and more consistent than it's been yet. Not boringly so, however. Good characters -- Jack Bauer and Chloe O'Brien are still great. Good plot turns in the the final third of the 24 hours, especially with President Logan returning to create havoc. Can't wait to get it on DVD, become addicted.
