This week's episode of 24 earned half a star from the TV Fanatic staff. That's what happens when you contrive suspense out of a plot with scarcely anything at stake.

But here's to hoping that rating goes up in a week, as the 11 a.m. hour is teased in the promo below by a narrator that says:

"Our government and our enemies both want the same thing: Jack Bauer, dead."

We somehow doubt either side will get its wish, but we'll be watching to find out what happens. Will you?
