The 24 Ending We Never Saw!!

I am – Hercules!!

Last season ended with Mandy, the nakedness-prone lesbian assassin, shaking the president’s hand. Moments later, we saw Mandy carefully pulling a translucent layer of protection from her palm, then we saw President Palmer collapse, his hand infected and consumed by some kind of flesh-eating virus dealie. We cut to the digital clock, which counted down the final seconds of the second season. Ughnnnn! Plop. Ughnnnn! Plop. Ughnnnn! Plop.

Well, guess what? The new “24” second-season DVD, due here in the states Sept. 9, contains 45 deleted scenes – and one of those deleted scenes shows us what happened AFTER Palmer collapsed!

Our limey cousins in the U.K. got their second-season sets a few weeks ago, and they now know this:

The last thing we ALMOST saw at the end of season two was Mandy sharing a scene with Nina Myers!!

Yes, Nina Myers. The CTU traitor who murdered Jack Bauer’s wife at the end of seson one.

Producers explain that they deleted the Nina/Mandy scene after deciding Nina’s involvement would be too hard to explain in season three.

This thread offers a review persuasive enough to make Herc pony up the DVD dough (even though FX is running the entire second season from midnight to midnight on Labor Day Monday). Deepdiscountdvd.com has it available for preorder at $51.23, but Amazon.com actually has them beat this time around at $48.99 (both, we believe, offer free shipping on this baby).

New episodes of "24" return to the Fox network Oct. 28.
