"24" Tonight: Ambition And Bioweapons – One & The Same
In tonight’s new episode of 24, (Day 7 10:00 PM -11:00PM), Jack and Tony search for a bioweapon at a shipyard. The President must make changes in her administration to accommodate her daughter’s ambitions. All the while, the FBI has notched up its search for Jack, who is still wanted for the death of Senator Mayer.
Read more about Olivia Taylor (Sprague Grayden) and see a short video interview she completed with TV Guide after the jump.
Last week we saw Senator Mayer (pictured left here) being gunned down by an assassin, moments before he made a deal to help Jack with finding the weapon. We know Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) does his best work while being pursued, so this episode shows promise.
I liken Olivia Taylor (Sprague Grayden) to a bioweapon because she’s 
been causing trouble since she’s come on the scene. Last week she secretly leaked the story to the media about the Chief of Staff releasing Jack Bauer from federal custody.
Olivia’s only apparent agenda seems to be to protect her mother, but she’s doing things in a sneaky and conniving way. I will admit, she’s definitely fun to watch.
Interestingly, before Grayden’s stint on 24 as First Daughter, she starred on Sons of Anarchy (an HBO worthy show that airs on FX). In the interview below, Grayden reveals that her characters have died in many of her previous roles. She also says the coolest death was on Sons of Anarchy because it was so intense. In that series, her character Donna Lerner was shot in the head. I wonder if this little tidbit reveals anything about what might happen to her character on 24! We’ll have to wait and see. 24 airs on Monday nights, at 9:00 PM ET on Fox.

Great blog entry!!
I’m loving “24″ right now…even more than season 5. I predict the character Olivia Taylor won’t die, although we might come to desire it..lol.
That was a sweet scene between the Prez and her Chief of Staff…thought they might kiss until he called her “Madam President”.
