I think the best antagonist to Jack was Mason.

I can get past the the few minor problems in season 3 compared to the huge blunders that did not ever end in season 2. First off there was that whole presidential thing that went on for damn near the WHOLE last 8 episodes. Of course lets not forget that Jack and Nina were the only ones to survive a horrible plane crash in the middle of a forest unscathed. How could I forget the mis-adventures of Kim Bauer. 23 episodes of nothing. Run here *bounce bounce* run there *bounce bounce* almost get killed by huge cat *bounce bounce* almost get raped for life *bounce bounce* IT DID NOT END! Jack had is worst in the last 8 episodes though. Random bad guy of the week award goes to...the 30 some odd bad guys Jack wasted. The computer programmer comes out of no where and lets no forget sherry who is involved somehow. Too much random <img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif> with zero forshadowing.

I agree Saunders should have asked for Jack to be killed but I think he decided to make an example out of a high ranking individual what is excellent at tracking people...Still doesn't make much sense. As for why they could not stage it. They asked to have his dead body. Not fakeable. Moving on to the Jack - Tony did the same thing. Jack did quit CTU after that to protect his family and we are talking about a canidate that was running for president and not even president compaired to the hundreds of million of people that would have gotten it for Tony's.

Season 3 had faults but no where near the huge mindblowing blunders of season 2 and some of the one in season 3 were at least somewhat understandable. The last 8 episodes of season 2 was a massive lack of forsight. It seems like they forgot there were 8 episodes to go.

I just watched episode 3 & 4 of Season 4 and it was interesting that already people are getting caught. I liked how Heller tried to break out. Heller=Automatic badass. Although I am kind of sick of CTU snicking around stuff. This season I don't think there is a mole though. I don't like the black bitch. I have a feeling she = new sherry. Too early to make any serious calls or accusations. It was all still good and I like the new bigger characters that have not gotten a lot of screen time.

You would think that just for 1 season that CTU would actually have a staff that got along with each other and didn't try to <img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif> each other at every turn.
