He did go from meeting Stella to being left at the altar by her within less than a year, so it's not too much of a stretch to think he'd fall for "the one" fast.

All the show's main sets are still standing, etc. <br /><br />So it sounds like the season won't be quite as locked into a specific time and place as their initial announcement suggested, something these two episodes seemed to back up, at least in part.

I missed that announcement! We watched this the other night and I actually said to my fiancee, "is the whole season going to cover only the wedding day??" She agreed that it certainly looked that way, but then we laughed it off and assumed it must just be like a three or four-part episode.<br /><br />Now I'm hoping Jack Bauer will show up at some point.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.com
