In this episode, Jack followed the bad guy by hanging on to the undercarriage of a garbage truck that the bad guy had commandeered. I know I've seen this done in dozens of B movies, but usually on a railroad train or a stage coach, maybe the occasional dump truck full of gold bullion heisted from a Federal Reserve Bank. First time I've seen the trick performed under a garbage truck... I just finished watching my 137th episode (#17 of season six).

I have to admit I liked the format, as opposed to the content - and that's an essential part of the problem with 24 - the format runs at such a fast pace that you must be glued to the screen intensely throughout or you will likely miss a critical turn in plot that will leave you wondering htf did they get from A to C without going through B. All the better to implant their right wing message into your brain. At the start of this season I made it through the first 30 minutes and I haven't gone back even though I have it all, in hi-def, on my PVR. I watched every season of 24 except this last one.
