‘Not Good Enough!!’ Five Times The Bauer Power For Tonight’s Hour Of 24!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Details are scarce!
We know James Cromwell, who is sometimes warp pioneer Zefram Cochrane, turns up as Philip Bauer, father of Graham and Jack. We know Chad Lowe, who wanted out of “Life Goes On” 15 years ago so he could pursue a film career, joins the “24” cast as a political operative.
We know Graham Bauer survives the dry-cleaning bag. His wife and blonde son remain in the picture. That’s five Bauers in all! Far more Bauerage than even season one provided! Also, there are more attacks on the nation.
Season Sets Under $20!!

he will forever be bluetooth bauer
-
Yeah, no kidding. Man, was that guy a dick on ER too... :)
-
Seriously, though, I'm wondering what the writers mean by calling him 'Grey.' Perhaps alluding to the color? Is Graham perhaps not entirely evil?
Bah, I dunno. What a kick-ass show. -
So say TPTB.
-
Ehh I'm confused. You talk about this brother Graham as if it's old news, like we've seen him before. What dry cleaning bag, what did I miss... ? When was there ever mention of Jack having a brother?
-
Graem/Graham was one of the Stonecutters calling the shots during last season's shenanigans. Only last week did we learn that he's a Bauer.
-
What the HELL am I supposed to do?!?!?!?
-
embrace tivo
-
As Mama Bauer.
-
and I am not impressed. bland characters, weak writing and the lack of tension is obvious. What a revelation, curtis and Assad. wow but the way it was handled was so bad that we figured it, five minutes after jack had asked chloe for the info between Curtis and Assad. I thought there would be a huge improvement upon last season but i was wrong. and the morris/chloe/milo stuff is tiring.
-
Ohhhhh I see, well that would make sense then. I didn't watch last week as I've finally sworn off 24 altogether. I've been saying since near the end of season 2 that it'd had gotten ridiculous enough that I wouldn't waste my time with it, but my own vow has finally kicked in since they decided to make the Prez the villain last year. I DID view the initial 4 hours of this season when they were available on torrent, but only to have some fodder to mess with the Bauer worshipers, but then that was officially it. I will watch it no more. I did happen to see the commercial for this week though, when Cromwell pops in as Daddy Bauer (why oh why didn't they just go for it and get Donald Sutherland??) But so wow, Brother Bauer was one of last year's secret crowd... wait, was it Dr. Romano from ER?? (cause I did recall seeing that one preview many times where he's like strangling him or something saying oh you're hurting me, then him go "Trust me.... I"M NOT") Was THAT actually Jack's bro?
-
So he's a pussy. Not a worthy Bauer at all.
A completely different story would have been if it was Jack the one against his windshield. -
And yes, he is a homosexual. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But dissing '24' is unforgivable.
-
I'm thinking either Farmer Bauer or Cochrane Bauer.
-
How can you even ask that on this site?
-
*tear* Does this mean I've now truly arrived? So honored. But ohh, you Kiefer dick-suckers... ya'll are so adorable ;) lol
-
Is the wealth of 'That'll do, Jack. That'll do.' lines. While feasible under Cochrane Bauer, it doesn't have the same impact.
Of course, the most obscure joke I've come up with about him so far is that 'He disappeared because of Ellie.' -
this one i prefer
-
I'm trying to keep it alive though. It's a lot better than "gotta eat".
And you're still a homo. -
First I heard about it. Not that I'm the be-all end-all arbiter of all things AICN ... or am I?
-
be his father. Cromwell's cool and all, but I think it would have made more sense to get Keifer's real dad. Would have been cool too...
-
Cromwell rules all.
-
I gave it a shot.
-
Is that it rips on Harry's name dropping.
I never saw Babe but I think the drunken, lecherous warp-drive inventor has more quotable opportunities.
As for Donald playing Jack's dad, I remember Sutherland saying something about both of them being at the Golden Globes so that meant he'd have to have dinner with him so they probably don't get along that well. Besides, would you want to work with your dad for a year? And be his boss, no less? Anyway, it would have been too much of a wink wink to the audience and a distraction. -
The impact of "That'll do, Pig. That'll do." is because it's one of the few lines that is spoken in the entire movie by him. That one quote by itself trumps any Cochrane quote.
-
...and they said "I just got off the phone" is their odd-on favorite for Catchphrase Of The Year.
-
Rollo will kill Jack.

So next season will we learn about Black Jack Bauer?
by archduke_chocula
Jack's great, great grandaddy who roamed the ole west?
-
brother bauer. Graeme Bauer. I mean for fucks sake. Surnow and Cochrane and their team of writers have lost it but then again surnow is a right wing nut job. Why has it taken six long years for them to introduce the whole bauer family if kim bauer wasnt a badly enough written character, they have to inflict the rest of the bauer family on us too. argggggh..... Hang on.... Ive got it. One of the nukes goes near the bauer family home. thats it. Nuke goes off. The presidents sister is standing near by. no more annoying sister. If she has been detained as a criminal, how did CTU get the message from Walliad.
-
suspect. annoying yes but he seems to up to something.
-
Got it pegged.
-
Its that middle eastern chick who is the mole. And since she said he was dead, Kumar is actually still alive. I started up a blog that among many things, discusses 24. Check it out. Take out the space in the link and baby, you've got yourself a stew cooking!
http://ridingwithricky.blogspot.com -
You hear that law dog! The law don't go around here! Man, shut up, cause POWERS BOOTHE GOTTA EAT!
-
And he said he's tired of these motherfuckin' catchphrases on this motherfuckin' talkback. Gotta excrete!
-
...Paper or plastic?
-
Today the part of whining button pusher wil be played by emeraldboy. AAAAAAMAZING!
Peace! -
We can only hope, but he seems to be doing fine with his gun and household items so far...
-
love this fuckign show.
-
That's redundant. Bauer is farmer in German.
-
Doesn't his name start with 'J' as well (Jason I think)? I realize that there is a 1/26 chance of this happening; but in the CTUniverse nothing can be assumed to be a coincidence.
-
Jack cheated on Teri, cuz that kid is way younger than Kim Bauer. Jack, you dog.
I'm betting it's not his kid, though... That'd be kind of a stretch, even for a show that has the big bad be Jack's brother. -
Strangeco = 3
emeraldboy = 0
Damn... -
But I'm expecting a call any day now... I'm pre-stocked with ammo, knives, electric cord from that lamp last season, Sat phone, hack saw from season 2, C. Thomas Howell's head (for looking at Jack funny), Tony's soulpatch to bring him back as Zombie Almeida, PDA, plastic bags, pliers, blowtorch and a sock full of pennies...
-
and I use just got off the phone and I am hip and with it as the kids say, so therefore, wait, what was I talking about... Hey has anyone seen my pants?
-
were not a happily married couple if you remember from Season 1. They were seperated for some time, which led to him hooking up with Nina Myers (which led to his betrayal and Teri's death). It is completely plausible that he had some other indiscretions during this time (we don't know how long they were seperated for; we meet them as they are reconciling).
-
It was left behind when Jack was kidnapped. Mike Novick adopted it, as he has such an admiration for Jack. He wasn't hired by the new Palmer administration, and was so devestated he had a nervous breakdown, and now lives on the streets with the Jack Sack as his friend and nighttime sleeping bag. Terrorist will decend on Washington DC, awakening the Jack Sack's magical power and it will bring a vision to Mike and he will go to the White House, torture that Tom guy on principal and then they will go on to save the day, before the Jack Sack takes a bullet to save Novick and die in his arms at the end of episode 24... It will be the most shocking end ever...
-
Expect 4 times the amnesia, 4 times as many kidnappings, and a quartet of mountain lions. And Novick may have found the Jack Sack, but he turned it over to Aaron Pierce who, upon putting the strap on his shoulder, much like wearing the ring of the Green Lantern, was transformed into the Super-Secret-Service Agent (not that he wasn't before, but now even more so). He's been off on a world tour of blowing up flame-thrower weilding terrorists, and seducing world leaders' wives. But now that Jack is back, he will return the Sack to its rightful owner and together, side-by-side, they will save the day. Or something like that. Or not.
-
Expects Jack to return to the family business. Dammit!
-
Of course, the enemy isn't the crazy Muslims. By episode 4, it's always us, isn't it?
-
Why couldn't they get Donald Sutherland to play Jack's dad? THIS SUCKS! It's not like Donald is on that crappy femal presidnt show anymore.
-
24 has become kinda formulaic. And the moments that are meant to be shocking are starting to feel expected and cheap. I mean, did anyone not see the thing with Curtis coming? Was anyone surprised when Wayne Palmer was revealed as the president? Beyond that, most of the big twists and turns just seem pretty silly. Not that they weren't silly before. I just find myself being less forgiving this year, probably because nothing the show does surprises me anymore.
-
the nearest toilet to my PDA right now!"
Seeing as he's almost had everything else done to him so far, I think Jack should have to contend with the shits whilst saving whoever from whatever.
That way while torturing someone for information he could use the line "You have no idea what my asshole is capable of right now...".
Show still rocks. I actually think the start of this years is stronger. -
Sorry, I had to.
-
I'll wait and see how the next few episodes play out but I do agree with ya about the general lack of tension. I hope it picks up soon, otherwise I'll be watching Heroes first and then watching 24 taped. C'mon Jack!
-
I think they've gotten away from solid storytelling and are instead relying on big shocking moments (like the mushroom cloud). Trouble is, as I said before, the shocking moments just aren't that shocking anymore. The previous seasons have upped the ante too high. I also think I'm going to stop watching the previews. They give away way too much. For example, seeing who Jack's father is might have been a decent surprise, but not anymore.
-
Jan 29, 2007 1:46:29 PM CST
I also think they are missing another solid presence
by just pillow talk
at CTU HQ. Buchanan is good, but missing someone like, oh I don't know, Tony! Have fingers crossed for tonight's episode...
-
...one Jack Tripper from Three's Company. Shacked up with two babes, it explains the multiple spawn. I called it FIRST! YAY!
-
real time element. That left the show gasping for air and now the show is dying. The big mistake was last seasons cast cull. I thought that killing off Penny Johnson Jerald was a huge blunder. She was my fav character, well written, deep and complex. The first 4 season seasons were really compulsive. Season 5 was when the rot set in. Season six looks terrible. The movie should have been made to compete with mission impossible three and bourne. With brad taking over the mission impossible series and bourne still kicking ass, and craig badassing bond, Surnow and Cochrane had better do a great story to justify the continuing of this fracnhise. PLEASE LET DAY SIX BE THE LAST!
-
Nadia. Me likey.
-
according to a USA Today article today, anyway...initially, Kiefer said it was scheduling conflicts...but has since added that acting together is a once in a lifetime sort of thing, so he wants to save it for another project.
-
The writers missed the boat with a season devoted to a 24-Hr escape from a Chinese prison. Oh well, another breathless run-run, chase-chase, mole-mole season is underway. You writers should have listened to me when I WAS TALKING TO YOU ON THE PHONE last year. See how I tied that earlier theme in?
-
When is Mandy making another appearance? I would like to say that I just got off the phone with Mia Kirchner but she won't return my calls.
-
Low profile government agency seeks mid-level computer analyst experienced in anti-terrorist tactics. Hours will be flexible with interaction at levels of management encouraged. Private secure phone line will be provided when necessary along with access to nerve gas proof conference room. No background check will be conducted. Previous contacts with euro-terrorist or Muslim organizations will not be turned away in our "don't ask, don't tell" screening process. If dramatic home life may be used as subplot in the future, please indicate on resume.
-
I hope so . . . http://tinyurl.com/2t69v3

Please liven it up by the time I come back...
-
...I'm tired of carrying you bastards. Seacrest...out!
-
...shown us bluetooth Graem/Graham in action in previous seasons because finding out Jack's asshole brother was the nefarious leader of a secret syndicate would've been a pretty good shot to the Jack Sack this season if we didn't already know. And I represent the "I just got off the phone company," on behalf of which I present the lot of you with this friendly C&D order, preventing you all from future unlawful use of their signature mark or implied endorsement in future posts. And for those of you who refuse to comply, I have a call from "Fuck you" holding on line two. Thank you and have a nice day.
-
!Awesome!tm
-
Lotta things wrong so far-- dullest President Palmer yet (and that's saying something), his annoying sister needs to be shot with a tranq gun, Jack recovered from two years of torture and got back to peak performance in 3 minutes, Osama Bin Arafat has been turned into a scruffy, soulful-eyed pussycat who only wants to help America save lives, fighting between Morris and Milo is about as exciting as a hot and sexy Fire Island weekend with George Mason and Ryan Chappelle soaping each others' backs, and hey, 24? It's no longer shocking when you kill off major characters, as it hasn't been since at least episode 1 of season 5, and Curtis' death was the dumbest waste of a good character since the deaths of Edgar, Lynn McGill, Tony, Michelle, and practically everyone else last season. Here's hoping that, as in the similarly disastrous season 3, they fix everything by scrapping the story and starting over. Also, here's hoping that James Cromwell rocks.
-
...that nobody has gotten off the phone from Jack's sack yet.
I guess he has much to discuss. -
I still rate the show very highly, it's up there at the top for me. I trust them to bring more characters I like (remember Curtis and Bill only showed up during season four and the show was still good before that: the biggest loss by far for me is Tony). I also miss George Mason and I'm surprised nobody has said much about him being killed off. He had some of the best lines of the first two seasons too, but true to 24's track record, you rarely have time to realise those characters are gone. As for the show's absurdities, I'm surprised people haven't mentioned the schizoid daughter from last year. Cos that sucked big time.Tat said, I'm still loving it... Loving it in the face... I'm now going to bow my head and take a few moments to remember George Mason.
-
...clearly wasn't all the way back from China when he decided to leave an obviously conflicted and scheming Curtis ("What's that supposed to mena" indeed, Jack) in charge of Assad while Chloe looked into the link. I'm betting Jack would've listened to his gut onj that one if it hadn't still been full of weevil infested rice and fish heads.
-
about Tony: I mean, I would laugh amongst my friends and say it's lame, but damn if I don't cheer out loud and wipe away a tear...Nah, I'm not that gay, but still...
-
So now she's getting physically and mentally raped by a 60 year old anorexic psychologist? what the fuck kind of creepy storyline is this?
-
Heroes more than held its own in the ratings, when I thought they'd get swamped by 24 because of how 9-10AM ended. But they didn't.
Welcome, BTW. -
Pee now!
-
...but I tend to think they don't yet get how weak this season is and how there isn't a good foil for Jack in the entire cast. I agree with those who admired George Mason (Xander Berkeley's snotty disdain was perfect), that was a CTU enemy for Jack. Alberta Watson had a lot of promise too, but they mostly wasted her on the stupid subplot with the schizo daughter; it does mean she could come back, though, and finally be the hardass female boss to make both Jack and Chloe's lives hell.
-
anyone else think that what Palmer had to do to release Jack from China is gonna come back to bite him the ass later in the season?
-
They've yet to follow one plot through an entire season. There's no way it takes them until hour 24 to end the current threat.
-
the past nine years have been bad for the integrity of the white house.
-
BABARO IS DEAD. :>)
-
She's going to work her way through the vents to fight Cage. SHOOT THE GLASS.
-
Man he's a @$$hole
-
this is a bit absurd. all she has to do is tell palmer the worm is trying to force her to resign. shouldn't the president be looking for shit like this given recent history?
-
Someone has to take the fall for the attack in Valencia. Karen Hayes fits the bill. The President would probably agree with Tom when presented that way.
-
I forgot about that.
-
I think he wants some Turkish Delight.
-
However, military craft ... and with all domestic aircraft grounded, we'll say 4.5 hours. She better not show up anytime soon.
-
this is too much.
-
If he's just getting text messages, it doesn't matter who's holding the phone. Fortunately for Walid, our beliefs do not require him to believe.
-
this episode is WEAK. Who wrote it? Sean Penn?
-
Her performance is just horrible. Really grates the nerves.
-
stupidest moment of th season so far...
-
zzzzzzz. Pretty bad episode.
-
when is the subplot to overthrow the President gonna kick in.
-
Once they knew who had the damn phone, how fucking easy would it have been to simply position someone to 'catch' him using it and take it. Talk about your forced plotlines. Dumb.
-
Giant Bauer.
-
ALMOST something worth watching. Only took 55 dang minutes! :P
-
Farmer Bauer doesn't get to say "That'll do, Graem. That'll do."
Pretty lame, Milhouse. -
this is rigoddamndiculous. the only thing that might make tonight's episode worthwhile will be A) Palmer's sister's death by nuclear bomb/pussy fusion or B) Poppa Bauer holding Bluetooth Bauer while Jack beats him to death with the jacksack.
-
Bluetooth Bauer.
-
When 9/11 happened, people all around the country just stopped. An atomic bomb just went off on in California, but the maid is pushing her little cart? What the fuck?
-
Made it a little more entertaining, otherwise, snoozeola.
-
ok, that's a bit of hope there.....jack is clearly going to fuck up bluetooth. thank god
-
In two weeks there is a 2 hour block of 24. Something big must happen I guess. Its a little early for that though right? Wasn't last years two hour special in the middle of the season?
-
Powers Boothe is Deadwood's Cy Tolliver on next week's 24.
-
If Bluetooth is going to be under Jack's power and tortured next ep? WHAT THE FUCK?
-
So, what was Herc smoking when he wrote that?
-
Someone give the man a gift certificate to the hair cuttery
-
here comes the 18 hours of boring eps building up to crazy last two hours....but bluetooth bauer was cool at the end....I think Jack found out..and this is all part of his plan..jack is sooooo gonna kick bluetooth's ass....
-
I'm sorry, but I've been a fan of "24" since season one. But this episode is the first time I found myself laughing out-loud at ol' Jack & Co. It's like I know the show's moves so well that its only recourse is to get more and more wack! The over-the-top gravitas is starting to become a weakness. 'Tis a shame because it's still one of the best put together programs on TV...
-
"Sayin' questions in that tone and pointin' your finger at me will get you told to fuck yourself."
-
I'm sorry, but just shutting a door wouldn't have completely dampened all the yelling. Except for Cromwell's first appearance, this was a rather weak episode.
-
With the sudden proliferation of the Bauer family, I'm reminded of the Dudley family from the old ECW days. We've had Black Bauer, Bluetooth Bauer, Papa Bauer, Illegitimate Blonde Bauer, Menaced By Mountain Lion Bauer, etc. I'm just waiting for Dances With Bauers to show up to complete the picture.
-
what's in the JackSack. You know it.
-
Really 24 for 24. Although this was one of those "Filler" epiodes to bridge the gap of storylines.
And yes, Regina King is terrible. Now that those detanees weren't terrorists, what exactly is the point of having her on the show? -
I love how everyone automatically assumed he was spying. Maybe he just wanted to make a goddamned phone call. "Yeah, I took it. I wanted to call my bitches back home." So fucking lame to have quite possibly the most annoying character on 24 ever be able to say "See? I told you so. I'm a LAWYER AND the president's sister!"
-
or Graeme. And Cromwell has aged horribly. Too bad Donald was busy.
-
At all. With any luck that was the writer's, "Oh, crap, we've written ourselves into a corner, now what the fuck do we do?" moment for the season.
-
She's going to die. Because her death at the hands of terrorists will spur mini-Palmer to follow the plan to inter all Muslims and further inflame the US. I'm gonna give her until the 2-hour special. Then she's dead.
-
They are hamming it up way too much. Furtive looks, adversity, loaded comments, music cues... I think CTU MIGHT be clean this time. Unless they decide they need a mole. In which case all bets are off. :-)
-
...you just want her restrained and interrogated in Holding 2. :-)
-
But has anyone mentioned Kim? Does Jack know she's safe, or has he written her off after her hissy fit last...well in seasons 4 and...oh, hell, since we first met her?
-
You managed to gross me out with the Sweat CDs comment and then make me laugh with the "Too Soon?" after the Cougar Bait show. Kudos, sir. Kudos. And I don't WANT to see Kim (unless we're going to start talking chocolate covered strawberries again...), I was just wondering at what point Jack stopped giving a damn where she is.
-
Question:
What the HELL are all of you smoking? This is one of the worst written shows I've had the displeasure of watching. The writing is really poorly done, and the unfolding of events is so much fantasy, it makes The Lord of the Rings look like a documentary. Here's a list of some things I found laughably silly:
top security CIA-style agency rife with love triangle bickering on the heels of a nuclear attack??A member of the President's cabinet finds another cabinet member going 'off reservation' with personal projects and TELLS NOBODY??
Anyone olive-skinned and beared has been rounded up like cattle and taken to a KINDERGARTEN PLAYGROUND, where they are observed and watched from super-spy cameras, but you have to put a microphone in someone's ear to HEAR THEM TALKING???
Unlike the real world where cell phone transations are easily traced and logs are obtained within minutes, you have to actually get your hands ON the phone and put in a super secret sequence of numbers in order to find out what its call history is??and while this is an early issue, i save it for last: Your wife and kid are held at gunpoint by a teenager bleeding to death. You are on the loose. He sits in the living room with his BACK TO THE FIFTY-FOUR INCH WINDOW, and you dont call LAPD SWAT - who can put a bullet inside his iris from FIVE BLOCKS AWAY??
This show is silly, people. I'm sorry but I finally tuned in after all the hype and honestly, I'm really really dissapointed. This show is pretty weak sauce. It's science fiction at a comic book pace. -
Watch the first 11 episodes of season 1. You'll see why the show has a following. Sure eash season has high points and low points, and yes many have had some issues with this season but it gets a pass in my eyes based solely on the merit of the first 11 episodes of season 1.
-
If your too lazy to go back to season 1 Start with Season 4 or 5
-
...you really need to have experienced the Cougar. The daughter being kidnapped time and time again. The teleporting from a warehouse to the middle of the ocean. The death of Jack and then his Lazarus like recovery. The second death of Jack. After all that, the stuff that you mentioned is gravy, dude. Pure gravy. Thanks for joining us, though, we hope to see you trolling other TBs -- might I recommend the Studio 60 TB, people love going on that one just to complain?
-
on the Tonight show with Jay Leno. Holy balls she looks cute. But she's acting really odd for some reason, talking about spray on tanning stuff. Leno complements her, while she is talking about her thongs and tiny bras... What the hell?!?! Actually, Mary just looks like a person who just got her 15 minutes of fame and is so stunned to be talking to Leno...she's cute though....damn.... ___KNEEL___
-
is his name Jacklet? Cuz it should be. The more I think about Graem's wife, the more Chest's own personal nuclear weapon gets ready to fire. I think me and Brock are gonna have to go have a talk with her. Maybe she knows where the fuck Ringo is. If not, we'll show her how it's done, Chest and Brock style. And while she may not immediately forget about Jack, her ass will sure hurt for a while. You know it.
-
But here's the bigger question: how short is Keifer Sutherland?!? Cromwell's tall, but in some of those shots he looked like he'd be more at home cruching Tokyo!
-
I mean, in Babe he was an "old guy", but he was one of those old guys who could probably whip the shit outta someone half his age with one hand tied behind his back. What happened?
-
5'9" to 6'4"
-
See it, believe it: (youtube) http://tinyurl.com/2ptvg9

Milo is a soul-patch wannabe that neverwillbe.Jack was doing some stupid stuff, out of character.How could he do all that yelling in bluetooth bro's house, and no one hears it?There better DAMN WELL NOT BE A MOLE in CTU this season--they have played that card EVERY FRICKIN SEASON so That dog don't hunt.This was the first time ever that I was actually bored by an episode of 24. Even the Kim-Cougar stuff was more enjoyable to watch, cuz, well, it had Kim in it.
-
was a new 24 promo item -- the Bauer nesting doll set: Father Bauer > Jack Bauer > Graehm (or however they spell it) > Bluetooth Bauer > Jack's evil-spawned nephew. A so-so episode this week. The Waleed/Lt. Paris-lookalike/Whiny Palmer Sister storyline is still painful to watch.
-
2 from Jack, and 6 from other souces. There were 3 total tonight. I'm 99.9 percent certain that President Wayne Palmer let one out when whatshername handed in her resignation.
-
2012? With all the two and three years later for each season where does that put us right now? Because if they keep going too far into the future, real life events could eventually make all of this irrelevant. I mean, The technology seems pretty much in the here and now, but you know things have to evolve somewhat in even a few years time. Just curious...
-
beanpole jailbait.
-
We know that every episode can't be a totally over the top Jack Bauer fragfest, much to our dismay. Still, Graem turning the goons on Jack and his dad with only a few quick nods of his head was worth it. He's now running shit without his Bluetooth! Wonder if he'll get it back before he inevitably dies...
-
...anywhere other than on Nadia's arse, I'm out. That will be it for me. This episode was almost insulting enough to make me stop watching, but I kind of want to see Bluetooth get his genitals shocked with a flashlight battery next week. Seriously, though: No. Fucking. Moles.
-
Graem cracker making things happen.

I have DishNetwork and the DVR, so I can (potentially) tape two shows at once. I was watching 24 live and was taping Heroes. Now there's the option of starting the taping of a show a minute or two (or three) before and after a show ends. Unbeknownst to me, my wife is taping Life of Brian or Brian's Life, and it starting taping a few minutes before the show. When there is an overlap of taping (Heroes and Brian), it automatcally kicks you over to one of the shows being taped. So I missed the last few mintues. Fuck Brian. Fuck him all to hell. May he die die die die. So if someone would just elaborate as to what I missed I would be grateful.So from the previews I saw that the dudes with papa bauer are bad. Is that it in a nutshell?Yack, I'm agreeing with you on the Nadia mole thing. She's way too hot to be good, plus you just know something will happen with her using Milo's userid.

Firts David Palmers VP tries to put him out of action,then when Keeler is injured his VP- Logan comes in. Now we got Powers Booth looking like Palmer is a pussy and looking to take him out fo power.
Besides Leland Palmer showing up for a couple of episodes as a red herring every VP on 24 has been a nasty SOB out to fuck the president or the country -
Was it the nuke going off? Was that the shark moment? Another season of 24 is like Bruce Willis doing Die Hard 12--enough, already.
-
And my glue pot is empty. Coincidence? I think not.
-
But this season sucks so far. Seriously, I think it would have been better if they started off things with the nuclear attack. This whole episode is pointless since we already know that Jack catches Graem (fancy, fancy). I never thought I'd say this but, I was bored as hell with this episode. And the pres' sister and that entire plotlline has got to go. I bet Wahid is also another red herring. Get this show back on track RIGHT NOW!
-
My channel guide also said "More terror attacks", so both Herc and my channel guide are smoking the same thing. Either that, or they just gave away a giant spoiler. Last season was much better. Heck, even season 3 (my personal worst) was much better than this once they dusted the drug dealers and brought Saunders in.
-
to a nice Christmas dinner. They go to the local Chinese buffet. With Edgar dead, there's a lot more food for everyone.
-
wa-hoo.
-
I mean, I'm all for allowing one to learn from one's mistakes, but CTU has got to be the single most compromised government agency in the history of, well, the government. And yet they still get all the really important assignments. If I worked for the CIA or the FBI or Homeland, I'd be pretty pissed to know so many presidents thought so little of me as to keep (effectively) tossing the ball to the guy that keeps dropping it while I'm standing there, wide open. If Buchanan (or anyone working under him) somehow screws things up, I'd like to see a Stripes-esque post-script to this season where a newsletter welcoming the Antarctic Security Station's newest C.O., Bill Buchanan, gets flashed up on screen, complete with a picture of him grimacing from deep inside a parka hood.
-
Not the best episode ever, but still damn good entertainment. We've just all been a little spoiled by these 4 hour season premieres they've been rolling out for the past two seasons. Kinda hard to live up to that. For all you 24 nuts, I just put a post up about last nights ep:

-
Admit it and take a drink everytime a character does something stupid or, frankly, out of character. The show has a MST3K feel to it now. Gimme a Kim v. Nadia catfight and I'll have to towel myself off when the credits roll!
-
I invented LAST!tm, and copywrited it. Just like crth did with !Awesome! powered Ando.
-
...Kim hostage situation to bring the show back to its roots. I vote for Kim showing up at Uncle Graem's house with her new boyfriend, Mohammed, looking for advice on how to tell her dad she's dating a Muslim. Graem and Mohammed recognize each other from their dirty Bluetooth dealings and Jack picks up on the look of increased discomfort on Graem's face (because he was already pretty uncromfortable from all that time with the pliers and the blowtorch) but, before he can act, Mohammed pulls a gun on Kim and whisks her away in his White Bronco...in the back of which is one of the four nukes. I tell you, this stuff writes itself.
-
There was a tool (Chloe's boytoy) and a dick (filthy Hobbit), but no mole.
-
Enough already. Moles or not CTU is still the most porous security agency in all of fiction. Last season? Well, we didn't have a "mole", but angry-hobbit's security card gave access to just about anyone that wanted play LAN-Doom3 on the CTU server. That along with the "smart" "magic" gas made last season all that much more magical!
-
...America's # 1 Horsey. Neeeee.
-
LOL. Yes, she truly had a "butter-face". Oh, LAST!
-
It looks like CTU may suffer a cyber attack in the next episode. I thought that the MI6 was porous in the 50's and 60's! Honestly, it you want to catch the bad guys, just do nothing but hunker down at CTU. They'll come to you! That crap on Jack's hand is starting to bother me.... Get rid of the mozzerella!
-
What a loser. I say send Billy B to China, and make Jack the head of CTU! If he caught anyone using limewire on the CTU servers, he would put a plastic bag over their heads!
-
You can tell Milo wants to have revenge sex with Nadia (against Chloe)
-
...sex with Nadia, and I don't have anything against Chloe in particular.
-
Is there a mole this season, and who might it be? Morris, Chloe's shifty-eyed, self-absorbed ex-hubby? Nadia, the hot CTU employee with Middle-Eastern birth roots? Or (mild SPOILER follows if you haven't seen the new episode) is it Milo? While he may have given Nadia his clearance code so that she could work more effectively, he may be planning to set her up to take a fall. CTU has a history of going very easy on employees that screw up, and he may do something evil, blame Nadia for the action, and then apoligize for giving Nadia his high-level access code. Buchanan will proably make him stand in the corner for a few minutes as punishment.
-
Ok, got to stop now....!
-
Just for a second tonight, I thought that it would be revealed that Bill Buchanan is in league with the @$$h0l3 that is President's chief adviser (the guy from Numbers and Allie McBeal). I'm glad that I was mistaken. I thought that was why Buchanan wasn't raising more hell about his employee (Nadia) being racially profiled. Instead, it appears that Bill has lost some of his nerve due to releasing Fayid (?) from custody several months ago.
-
...and just make a mess of the Presidential Office, while the security adviser has a fit!
-
Is that at the start, Jack is torturing Graem. By the end of next episode (based on previews), Jack is torturing Graem. In other words, the show is using (wasting) two hours to develop plot that could've been done in ten minutes. It's not about the lack of action (hey, dead CTU personnel! Locke having the shit kicked out of him!), it's the delayed plot development for the sake of ... I don't know, probably to kill time. I would think that since you're so big on plot development you'd understand where some of us are coming from.
-
Damn, he looks 3 feet in the grave already.
-
Yeah this episode wasn't the best but it was still better than 99% of the shit on television, including Heroes which was equally atrocious tonight. Fucking horrible. The argument between Kare nand MacNichols was primo 24 stuff and made the episode worth watching. And kudos to the writers for manging to find a charcater to work at CTU even more fucking annoying than Edgar (Chloe's boy toy). What a fucking obnoxious douchebag!. Are we supposed to like his bullshit? He needs a Jack torturing now. and thus...KILL MORRIS NOW!!!
-
Rather than slide some last minute character into play
-
It's just the high definition that makes him look like a seven foot tall skeleton...
-
He's going to jump the shark. And unless something changes drastically, it'll be within the next show or two.
-
...but at the first sign of a mole, I'm outtahere. For serious. I may tolerate a shrew. Maybe. But not a mole. Not again. Not this soon.
-
Not much.
-
is strong characters. Who's at CTU besides Bill? (Lady hotness gets a pass, weak character or not, hotness is always appreciated) President and administration is weak (including Ghostbuster guy who is a mouse and should be squashed, not a good 'bad' guy. There is now no good CTU field agent with Jack. I'm still holding out hope that it'll pick up.
-
And what did it get them? Not only are there almost no strong characters left, there's no shock value anymore when someone like Curtis is killed. After all, you've already seen it happen with Michelle, Tony, Ryan, David Palmer, etc, etc, etc.
-
deeeeeelicious.
So say we all.
So does anyone think that Jack will get his Jack Sack back this year? And does anyone else suspect that the british asshole will contact Morris? It seems too easy of a connection.
-
I can totally see that happen because of course they gotta do something at CTU to spice it up. I was also thinking the blonde that's with the British maxi-pad is some agent or something, but maybe not.
-
Chloe, send it to my PDA!
No, it can't be her/him!
I've known her/him for years!
You can't just trample the Constitution whenever you see fit!
I will not cause a full scale panic!
You WILL tell me what I need to know!...........Did I miss anything? -
Did he have a prosthetic hand?
-
so the homeland security lady and buchannan are married? nice how they drop that "bomb" (no pun intended) on us all-a-sudden. We knew they were romantically linked but married? Ehh.
This one really had me and the wife bored.
When is the craziest-n*gga ...err I mean white man alive, Jack Bauer Power Hour coming back?
Sack.....???
DAMNNNNIT -
I was half expecting Goerge Takia to say HELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOO. And why the hell did Hiro lose his power? Heroes is starting to Pull a lost.
-
the same thing, while gazin' at the babe who plays Nadia. She's downright breathtaking. She has the prettiest eyes. I'll be glad when Hollywood wakes up and stop casting all of these ugly trolls suchas Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts, Hillary Swank, etc., etc. and go bace to the days of yore: Raquel Welsh, Gina Lola Brigada, Sophia Loren, Natalie Wood, Ann Margaret, etc, etc,. HOLLYWOOD NEEDS MORE REAL BABES!
-
They didn't really drop that bomb on us. In the first episode we see Karen glance at her wedding ring as she talks to Bill on the phone and they say how much they miss each other.
-
Two full segments without a single Jack scene. Boring as hell after getting me all hyped up for the brother/father 9-years-of-silence revelations. FOX, STOP SHOWING SCENES FROM THE FINAL TEN MINUTES IN YOUR PREVIEWS. I SPENT THE WHOLE HOUR WAITING FOR THIS BIG CROMWELL REVEAL, AND THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENED.

The Peter Macnicol/Karen stuff was o.k., but it just wasn't enough to carry the hour. The Walid stuff was too drawn out. I know this show is built on formula and cliche, but GOOD LORD, GRAEM, WAS THERE EVER A WORSE TELEGRAPH THAN DRIVING OFF AND LEAVING YOUR HENCHMAN TO KILL THE GREAT JACK BAUER? I guess the rationale would be that he doesn't have the stomach to kill family, but it was still exceedingly stupid. Oh, and thanks, Fox, for ruining Jack's and Dad's getaway next week in the preview. I'm done watching the upcoming scenes. I never watched them back in the early seasons for this very reason.
-
I liked the first five hours a lot, and I maintain hope for season six.
-
How about this; NO MOLES IN CTU this season?
-
I got my hands on Season One of 24. I've watched half of the episodes and okay - I see it. Very well paced, very edge-of-the-chair plot twists, and dialogue that makes sense. I watched with a skeptic's eyes and came away very satisfied.
But I stand by my opinions of this season of 24 - Either they've cut back on the pay for writers, or they're just out of ideas. The scene with the 'three Bauers' where 'Baby Brother Bauer' continues to stammer and whine about how Jack never thinks of the family first - that batch of dialogue has been recycled at least four times in two episodes. Enough already - give the guy something different to say. -
I just discovered this on IMDB. He was the bad guy who bumped into the toxic sludge in the end and got all mutated and whatnot. Then his deformed self got run over and splattered by a car. Fan-fucking-tastic. www.ridingwithricky.blogspot.com
-
jack is a clone... cmon think about it... would the real jack have asked about audry and kim first thing? no. not at all. The first thing he would have asked after coming back from china would be.
"the jacksack?"
"we have it right here for you."
"Loaded"
"yeah"
"Lets blow some stuff up crazy like" -
"Heeeeeeeeellllllllllppppppp Meeeeeeee" "Get off me man ahh"
-
what a bizzaro role for him to catch his firt big break in.
-
Robocop I'm waiting for Clarence Boddicker and Dick Jones to show up. "Can you fly bobby."
-
Damn...Cromwell wouldn't have to worry about radiation...his head high up there in the atmosphere well out of the danger zone.
-
Not one of the best episodes this season but still better than alot of the dreck on tv these days.
I got to meet and get a photo with Keifer at work on saturday night, when he came to see smokin aces at the chinese theatre. -
As Jack Bauer's dad. They'd be talking about it for years. And they look similar enough and are known to kick ass in their own way with cataclysmic effect. Thus we replace "DAMNIT!" with "DAMN YOU CHUCK NORRIS!"
-
Cromwell: Graham, Jack here has FORGOTTEN more about dispensing pain than you or I will ever know.
Jack: Barbecue, huh, Graham? How do you like your ribs?
Graham: Rolo Tomassi.
Cromwell: That'll do, Jack. That'll do.
*Jack fires up chainsaw*
Jack: Now the leg, eh? -
"...I never miss a game."
-
To any future 24 Presidential candidates I'd recommend that you choose a running mate that is NON-EVIL!!! Or at least one that likes you. Secondly, there's no way GIANT BAUER can have offspring that short!!! It was so odd to see the three all packed in together in the same scenes. It was like Merry and Pippin chatting with Treebeard the Ent!!!
-
The number he dialed on the stolen cell phone was (310) 597-3781. I'm too scared to call because I am a moron!!!
-
the machines are coming...
-
...the ultimate Neocon fantasy after last season, when Jack busted up a plot by the President himself to manipulate the fears of Americans in an effort to secure oil interests overseas. That was pretty scathing stuff for a show that also endorses torture and the suspension of civil liberties. Seems to me Jack will play for whichever side of the political fence happens to be in the right, as he understands it, on whatever issue has been dumped on him. In fact, that's just the kind of guy we need running the big show. Jack for president in season '08!
-
Sorry...... She is just sooooo purty.
-
...tie up Graham and ass fuck his wife right in front of him. I mean, come on! We can all see she's giving him the "fuck me" eyes.
-
Graem is the father of Kim!!!
-
I thought they had guards watching at all times. Not only was there plenty of time to intercept, as they ganged up around him, but Cyril even radioed that they were pulling him out. Fuckin' ridiculous. Why don't the prisoners just jump the fence? It's not like anyone is around to stop them. And why didn't Walid just drop the phone on the ground somewhere? Bumping into that dude a second time wasn't gonna work. Whatever, he deserves his beat down for trusting in government agents to protect him.
Karen backing down to the Biscuit was a problem for me too. I know that she didn't want Bill fired and all, but she knows about the circumventing of presidential directives and Palmer seemed in the mood to negotiate to keep her. She was acting like there was a gun to her kid's head or something.
I still enjoy the show, but this is the stupidest season so far. I can suspend my disbelief only so far. Not liking Cromwell's character so far, but there's still plenty of time to make him cool. Graem's a good character. I guess I'm interested to see what's gonna go on there. I hope Nadia is not a mole cause I'd be happy seeing her in future seasons. Or if they are gonna do a mole, I hope they don't catch them this season. -

He'sm doing an excellent job, considering his handicap.
-
Worthless. They're completely worthless. The writers only give them one job: die in order to remind us that the bad guys are...um, bad. I hate this show. So why the hell to I watch it? (Not a rhetorical question....seriously, somebody tell me why the fuck I watch this damn show!)
-
...in hopes that it gets better and you don't want to miss it if it does 'cause otherwise you'll be ticked off about it. Oh yeah, and there's also the possibility of a NAKED MANDY sighting. hehehe...
-
Oops! Wrong show.
-
before me. Well a day and 5 years but shes a scorpio man you know what that means.

Teri was fucking Graem, is still alive, is the big bad
by performingmonkey
Kim is Graem's daughter, Graem's son is really Jack's son. Cromwell-Cochran-Bauer used to fuck Sherry Palmer and only Wayne knew about it. He also used to be married to Ramone Salazar's cousin who's uncle dated Martha Logan. It's a small world.
