First of all, I'll better not bring me the version with German subtitles, because reading the subtitles in the long run is quite strenuous. But even that would not have changed the abridged story and the foreseeable content. Season 9 focuses more on the "24er Style", but everything goes much faster, is much more predictable and probably due to the lack of time was a continuous voltage build hardly possible (eg in the mole). Also there were some passages more that were illogical (Spoilergefahr: eg when searching for Cloe course all had a lamp Tasch there ... or the killer was still not hired by the boss). Overall, I am sorry to say, all this was somehow the average fare.
