I think it is Tony’s contention that there is a bigger picture that Jack doesn’t see. It’s the Hiroshima argument. Tony claims to be more heroic in the long term than Jack.
Jack is like, “Dude, I see a bus about to blow up, I try to stop the bus from blowing up. I’m not as super-intelligent as Tony is.”
Jack seems fine, with the fact that he’s about to die. He doesn’t seem so good with every heroic thing he’s ever done on this show being categorized as a humongous waste of time.

Olivia is about to come clean to Mom and Dad. This is probably going to be worse than when she had to tell them she had an abortion in high school.
Olivia tells her parents that she murdered Jon Voight.
Tears… Shock.
What will the President do with this info? My mom would forgive me.
Daddy, couldn’t care less about Jon Voight. He’s actually pretty impressed with Olivia’s get up and go.
Dad blames Mom’s job for their son being killed and finally leaps into the pants of this relationship by ordering his wife to cover up for Olivia.
The President weighs the awful reality of having to choose between the Country and her family. She seems very noble.
A doctor tells Jack that he is “worm food”.
But wait … Jack has called the Muslim cleric in to apparently apologize for all his bad deeds. Oh my God, now I see why the Republicans are so upset about the Obama apologies.
The Muslim cleric tells Jack that he is only human.
Damn It. He is not. He is Jack FREAKIN’ Bauer!
I think Jack just accepted Islam on his death bed.
God this is horrific. It’s almost as mind blowing as finding out that Liberace was gay.
Odds on Jack dying in the next 14 minutes: Even money!
“He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it felt,” I have no idea what those commercials are advertising either.

What’s Olivia’s father’s title? First Gentleman?
The President has made up her mind. She apologizes to her remaining family for being ambitious, but she chooses her nobility over her daughter. “I’m the President. That still means something on this show. You’re under arrest, honey!”
Take her away, Aaron.

Damn that was nearly longer than the season dude. But I also have to admit I found a lot of it pretty funny. Speaking of which...
Did anyone besides me notice how much the evil guy with Jack's daughter in the airport looked like R.E.M.'s Peter Buck?
Maybe he's still pissed about getting busted for that drunk tirade on a plane a few years back.

This season was a bit lame but no where as bad as season 6. That was the worst. Season 5 remains my favorite. Hope season 8 is much better. Hope the new President isn't as lame as this one and no way as boring as Wayne Palmer. They should have a Black or Asian women for President.
