Reply #18: Great episode(s) but yeah, LOTS of big holes in the story.

Like many have said, NICE security CTU. Okay, first of all, I still want to know how Lynn ever got back into the building without his keycard in the first place (after his sister's boyfriend mugged him). Does he have a spare or something? And, even if he did have a spare, wouldn't it have raised *some* kind of alarm if his keycard was used to come into the building TWICE without ever having left? Finally, wouldn't his security clearance be disabled or something upon being taken into custody? I would think, again, *some* kind of alarm would go off if a man supposedly in custody would be caught *entering* the building.

All that aside, why doesn't CTU have gas masks and other emergency provisions in every room, especially the rooms that can be sealed off during a disaster? I mean seriously, they've already been blown up once. They can pull up the complete schematics of every building in the United States within 5 seconds but they didn't have the forethought to have gas masks? They wouldn't have all kinds of precautionary systems in place considering what a dangerous, high security agency it is?

Still, even given all that, I totally love the show. In fact, part of the fun is picking all that stuff apart!

I'm totally bummed about Edgar. That SUCKS! And I loved all the shit straight from a conversation with Dick Cheney. They are really making up for that whole ACLU crap from last season.

I can't wait to see it play out next week. But, again, can't Curtis and a bunch of agents wearing those space suits come in and bring a box of space suits for those trapped inside? Is that too easy?
