To identify the term of the sequence and verify if 128 is an appropriate term, let's first observe and analyze the pattern of the given terms:

1. The first term is \( 2 \).
2. The second term is \( 2\sqrt{2} \).
3. Next, we need to determine the subsequent terms.

Let's express the terms using exponents for simplification:
- The first term can be expressed as \( 2^1 \).
- The second term \( 2\sqrt{2} \) can be written as \( 2^{1 + \frac{1}{2}} = 2^{3/2} \).

Now, we can see that the exponents are increasing in a specific pattern. Let's express the terms in order:
- The first exponent is \( 1 \) (for \( 2^1 \)).
- The second exponent is \( \frac{3}{2} \) (for \( 2^{3/2} \)).

Next, let's see if we can find a pattern or rule for the subsequent terms. From the given terms, we can see:
- The exponent for the first term is \( \frac{2}{2} \) = \( 1 \).
- The exponent for the second term is \( \frac{3}{2} \).

If we hypothesize that the pattern continues, we can project the next term(s) based on an observable trend in the exponents. Let’s assume the next term follows an increase by \( \frac{1}{2} \):
- Next, we can expect \( 2^2 \) (third term) to equal to \( 4 \).
- Then, the fourth term can be analyzed as \( \frac{5}{2} \), which is \( 2^{5/2} = 4\sqrt{2} \).
- Finally, the fifth term would be \( 2^3 = 8 \).

Continuing this pattern:
- Sixth term: \( \frac{7}{2} \), which equals \( 2^{7/2} = 8\sqrt{2} \).
- Seventh term: \( 4 \) (already calculated).
- Eighth term: Extend to \( 8 \), as well as continue projecting the subsequent terms in the same manner until we reach (if applicable) the 128.

Continuing these exponent calculations to see when we will reach \( 128 \):
- At \( 2^8 = 256 \): that’s higher than \( 128 \).
- Can we reduce the terms to reach specifically \( 128 \)? In \( 2^7 = 128 \).

Putting this all together reveals that the sequence is indeed leading to \( 128 \) aligning with the fact that \( 128 \) fits conveniently with the pattern evident arising through \(\sqrt{2}\) increments and \(16\); a confirmable integral increase of \( 2^n\) calculations through exponent measures.

### Conclusion:
Thus, yes the "128" corresponds logically within the constraints of the proposed exponent structure as extrapolated from the original sequence. Specifically, \( 128 = 2^7 \) perfectly aligns along that continuation.
