Well finally - President Logan got his comeuppance, and Jack's been shangheid at the close of 24, Season 5. Does the nail-biting ever stop? I can't really say this season did it for me as much. I think overall I prefer Season 3 for grit and sheer ballsy storylines. Season 5 did have it's moments but to me most of them felt forced, too directed, too scripted. The characters felt a little too manipulated. But still, I enjoy the show and will eagerly await Season 6. Best acting kudos to:

• the kid during the Ontario airport terrorist crisis


• Jean Smart (Martha Logan) for a tremendous job as one messed-up First Lady
