Quite the drone-rific episode! Full recap here. Observations:
* I'm not a doctor, but I would have expected A LOT more injury to Simone al-Harazi from being hit by a bus straight on at ~30 miles/hour. Not only that, but even with several compound fractures in her leg, she seemed able to move along with Jack's help without screaming in agony.
* I believe this was the first time ever that Bauer tortures a female terrorist. Previously, he's tortured innocent women, like in season 5 when he shot Christopher Henderson's wife in the leg because he didn't think Henderson would respond to being tortured himself. He's also had painkillers withheld from an injured female terrorist (season 2's Marie Warner) and threatened female terrorists with death (season 4's Collete Stenger and Mandy).
* That was a pretty brutal facestrike that Bauer delivered to the poor guy that he carjacked. I don't think I've seen him beat up (totally) innocent people before. I wouldn't say it's out of character, though, since the past four years (of "24" time) were probably pretty harsh for him.
* British hospital security seems about as (in)competent as the old CTU's. I guess anyone can just waltz into a storeroom and find a doctor's gown to put on, which is what Margot's henchman Kareem did.
* Ian sure could use some targeting practice. True, he hit the hospital, but that was a pretty big target. How did he miss the SUV in the alley? Or is it that the drones suffered from poor craftsmanship? It makes you wonder if Margot was a bit too quick in killing Naveed, the original drone pilot for the terrorists. (Of course, knowing what we know, Naveed wouldn't have agreed to fire on his wife Simone.)
* When the British PM confronted the President about his (Heller's) health condition (developing Alzheimer's), and Heller responded that if he believed for one second that he was endangering anyone because of his health condition, he would resign, I was waiting for the British PM to respond, "Yes, Mr. President, but this is a health condition that could impair your ability to recognize that you are endangering others."
* There was a little scene that followed where the President confided to his daughter and Boudreaux that his health condition was going to get out in the public and make it impossible for him to lead, and to prepare to transition things to the Vice President upon resolution of the terrorist crisis. This pretty much screamed what was going to happen at the end of the episode, with the President agreeing to turn himself over to Margot al-Harazi.
