YES!

How many ongoing plot lines from Season 7 are dangling at the moment?
First husband shot and in surgery for 5 hours.
President at hospital, with daughter, and orders given to withdraw fleet from Sangala.
Dubaku is still loose and has his girlfriend as hostage.
1 confirmed Mole in FBI. There may be more.
Some secret agents and possibly others are working for the Sangalan regime, getting rich off the proceeds.
Tony is ... m.i.a for the moment.
If that's all of them, then they seem to juggling all the balls fairly well at the moment. In previous seasons though, the show usually took a mid-way twist which changed the nature of the plot in a big way. So is Tony going to go bad again? Hmmm... -
That looks like a top-notch car stunt. I hope the writers strike means that they have extra budget to spend on mayhem.
-
Dubaku's girlfriend=Sanders' daughter from Season 3, the presidential assassin's girlfriend from Season 1, Jack's sister-in-law from Season 6, etc. Do I even need to talk about moles? Season 7 is a vast improvement over Season 6, but the writers are relying on the same plot devices over and over again. Every even numbered season is about Islamic fundamentalists with a nuke. I'm hoping Season 8 does not involve......Islamic fundamentalists with a nuke. Hell, I wish Season 8 (the final one) will get back to its roots with Season One........No weapons of mass destruction, no international crisis....just some personal nightmare for Jack.......and where is it written in stone that 24 even has to feature a president in every season? How about not having a president in Season 8?
-
If you know what I mean
-
24 just so homo-erotic.

7 seasons in, all you can ask for is to be entertained....
by mr. profit
And I think the show is exceeding my negative expectations (due to Season 6) and it's entertaining me at the same time. Sure it relies heavily on older plot devices, but it's still serving them up in a way that is fun to watch. When First Gentleman Taylor was shot I was so into it, I had a "WTF" moment. And last week's action was good too. I'm digging the season so far. And last week I finally warmed up to President Taylor.
-
Exactly yes, a low key Season 8 that has the same kind of espionage almost spy-detective work of S1 as Jack pieces it together bit by bit solo. No reliance on torture every second minute. Sadly it'll never happen - once these shows expand past a certain point they often become parodies of themselves.
Season 7 has been dumb goofy entertaining fun though, and is still better than virtually any show on show due to the commitment of Sutherland. Lost is much much better this series but theres plenty of room for both -

I'd love to see a 24 that has Jack undercover somewhere foreign
by cyrent
would be awesome.
-
"No I don't, because I'm Jack Motherfucking Bauer."
-
I totally agree. I've always said the government needs to recruit Jack into some Ghost program, make him a serious undercover spy, etc. It opens to show up to so many more possibilities. They had the perfect opportunity after the whole Chinese debacle and he was supposed to be dead. He should have been taken in by a top-secret group to kick international ass.
-
EWG, what are you talking about?
-
How fun would that be? No sooner do you whack Billy Walsh on the head with your little cushioned mallet than Nina Meyers pops up.

And if you don't think the slapping ends with making out
by garbageman33
You're clearly not watching enough television. I haven't seen that much sexual tension since Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron were in that dance number together. Besides, you don't slap Jack Bauer without getting a tongue down your throat as payback. No, ma'am.
-
He will probably break her arm when she slaps him. He's like unfrozen caveman agent.
-
Are they related?
Where the fuck has Kim been anyway?
Incest-twist! Jack has a long lost sister in the FBI! -
Are we going to spend a few minutes staring at his gaping neck wound?
-
That's really all the story needs. A chesty red headed girl FBI Agent in a tight shirt with bouncing boobies.
-
...with a latex-clad Freckles Bauer kicking all kinds of inmate ass. It would be magical.
-
Did the pre-writer's strike writers not consult with the post-writer's strike writers? You'd think they'd at least get the names of the major characters right. How long before Renee Walker becomes Rita Walker? Actually, I don't care what they call her so long as they let her keep wearing that top.
-
Looking forward to the face off with the real bad guy....Jon Voight
-
..i'm actually enjoying "Heroes" more than "24" at the moment. I feel I can admit it as a die hard "24" fan (it's the only tv show I own every boxset for). Perhaps it's because this is the first year I'm watching it hour by hour instead of waiting until the boxset and cramming it all into 48 hours over a weekend but it's true. I'm still loving "24" of course but i'd be lying if I didn't say I'm getting more entertainment dollars from my sixty minutes of Sylar taking on SWAT teams than Jack & Freckle's torture hour.
-
Your Whack-A-Mole post may later turn out to be my favourite post this week. Pure genius, my man!
-
is anyone else bothered by the fact that Dubaku had 10 guys stationed at some power plant that killed an agent and the PM doppleganger - that supposedly we just let stay there? Go get them!

1 or 2 seasons fair enough (And I thought they were great)
by damien chowder
But the novelty has worn off... Who solves international terrorism in 24 fucking hours!? Not to mention this season is shit! I will watch again though say if Bauer loses an arm or half his face.
-
That show would be worth watching. Instead it's terrible acting from pouty cheerleader who still mistrusts daddy and idiotic conversations about the viability of the special project to collect Specials, with a few Sylar vs. moments peppered in.
"What, did you think we would be greeted as liberators?"
GET. THE. FUCK. OUT. -
No way is she the mole as suggested by this TB.
-
...the show would be in the toilet. I mean, it kind of is, what with the endlessly re-hashed plots and conventions we've seen 30 times...but Chesty and the drama she brings breathe new life into it. Hopefully, Bauer will be porking her soon.
-
Ewwwwwwwww! Jackman has better taste than that! Okay, just had to say that. It was the first thing that popped up in my mind. That being said, why would they go to the trouble of casting such a hot actress for Jack if they didn't plan on them DOING something. They could have cast a guy, or... or a dyke! Right?

Something better happen that I give a shit about tonight.
by keeper of chimps
Why does it matter if Dubaku gets out?
-
More of her. Less of wheel chair lady.
-
and then having to do jumping jacks for some reason. Possibly in the interest of national security?
-
He's sorely missed. :(
-
but WTF is Star Trek: The Motion Picture Trilogy? There were 5 of them. I went to the Amazon site, and there's a picture of a Bird of Prey under the Golden Gate Bridge, so it's not just the first 3. Are they just pretending that 3 and 5 don't exist?
-
Is 2, 3 and 4. Those three deal with the Spock death/resurrection arc.
-
...and about Star Trek - no1, why are you forgetting about 6? 3rd best.
-
They've been showing it since the season began in commercials. They definitely blew the season budget on that one - rather like the F29's in the season finale of Season 4... and now cue the comments about Freckles running down the street
-
Seriously, that kicked ass. No drawn-out hemming and hawing by the girlfriend, no whiny back-and-forth bullshit, just Escape/Chase/Crash/Boom. Sweet.
-
What episode? She is way hot too.
-
DAMMIT, JACK! NEVER TURN OVER THE CHIP, YOU ASSHOLE.
-
"Hey random guy, take this critical data."
-
Seriously?
-
for real.
-
Anyone else getting the sense that they are setting Jack up to a villain next season? His callousness is reaching new heights/lows (delete as deemed personally appropriate).
-
There's a vast inter-government conspiracy and we can't trust anyone with the President or in the FBI and you give away an important chip, Jack?!?!
-
Nice. Good cover, Sean. Didn't see it coming until the last minute.
-
I'm starting to wish I watched Heroes tonight.
-
She was looking a little shifty-eyed at Sean. Then again, she always looks shifty-eyed.
-
Nice try.
-
With that "heroes" shit. WORST FUCKING SHOW ON THE AIR. Nonsensical crap for fucking MORONS. I fully admit I kept trying to watch it too, but gimme a fucking break. Even the writers obviously don't give a fuck anymore. It's garbage. 24 ain't High Art, but at least they're TRYING.
-
Fuck yeah, Freckles.
-
From getting turned around and bent over a gurney.
-
C'mere and let me make it all better... >:)
-
next time you pull your gun on me you better be ready to use it." BAM! Jack is awesome!!!!!!! SO, anyone have a CLUE what the big game-changer is gonna be this episode??
-
Hey, shit is shit, no matter how it craps out. Heroes is shit and 24 is taking a big one tonight. If THIS is trying, I'd hate to see the show on autopilot.
-
Bill seems kind of shady. I think he's up to something...
-
WTF?
-
He seems kinda' creepy.
-
He was unusually pissed off with Tony for some reason. I notice Buchanan didn't drop Tony's name to the Prez - that guy just doesn't get any love.
-
what do you guys think is the high value target? The White House, The Capitol, the Pentagon? All 3?? Something we're not thinking of?? Gosh, I LOVE 24!!!!! P.S. Jack seems to be getting more and more reluctant to get involved...he's getting worn out...colder and colder too. uh-oh...where's this going?
-
Or does Tony just not look like one of the goodguys?
-
Which would be kinda suck. Tony seems like he's turning into the Krycek of 24.
-
Should've paid us those reparations...
-
Yuma is leading a fricking assault team to take over the fraking White House!!!! I must say...in all of film and movies...I have NEVER seen an all out attack and hostile takeover of the White House! SWEET!
-
I have a bad feeling.
-
from scrubs was in the hospital with n'dugoo or whatever his name is awesome
-
I hate cliffhangers. :(
-
Dennis Hopper was classic...the Saw guy Tobin Bell was devious but nothing big...Stephen Saunders was a great concept villain but not executed so great...Marwan was way to Mummy meets stereotypical arab bad guy....President Logan was as deliciously smarmy as a villain can get....James Cromwell was great but just not enough teeth as he was a bit self-loathing.....Tony Todd's Gen. Yuma though....man...he's gonna be great I can tell.
-
Feb 23, 2009 9:08:54 PM CST
TT reminds of his same role from The Rock..but with African acce
by dogmatic
-
Has there ever been a show/movie that involved an assault on the White House? I can't think of one. ID4 blew it up, but that's not the same. Seems like a real wasted opportunity. Is it just too unpatriotic?
-
I know he was a cop (and therefore not on the traitor payroll)but he had NO idea who that was. Even more, they had JUST gotten stopped by the police the hour before because someone issued a warrant for their arrest. I just thought that was a bad idea all around. Chloe finding a way around it is plausible but the whole scenerio leading up to it was ridiculous. And yeah, Jack is getting more bitter by the minute. He's just chilling on the steps when Tony walks by, and then he jumps all over him about not turning someone himself in (within 25 minutes of the whole thing being resolved, mind you). Had Tony even heard that the situation was over? How would Jack know. In other words, the job is getting to him.
-
Is all this season has been. It needs reiteration with every episode, as every episode reiterates it. The most despicable thing a bad guy can do when captured is shriek "I want my Lawyer!" And Tony and Jack poo poo all the "procedures, laws, and legal red tape." ahh, poor babies, all us liberals are trying to keep you from saving the country through torture, because we're all stupid pussies or something, right?
-
does every season have a mole or two? Does every season's efforts to catch the bad guy continue to be a domino effect of "...now the boss of the boss of the boss of the boss of the guy we thought was the bad guy in charge is gunning for the President."?
Does every episode involve a problem child getting mouthy with a parent? -
I can't believe I'm going to half-apologize for 24, but if Jack assumed that whoever issued the warrant was still tracking him, then maybe it was a reasonable idea to give the chip to some unknown while Jack stayed at the scene or went to the hospital. Now, there would still be the problem of the cop knowing the identity of the person to whom he was supposed to give the chip, but that would still seem to be a fairly logical plan by 24 standards.
-
Who does she think she is??
-
Basically everything you've seen over the past season and a half was done in a previous season, oftentimes better.
-
Not really, but I've been thinking it over. It most of the previous 24 seasons, the mole has been created after the fact, or so it seemed. The mole(s) in this season were constructed within the framework of the show, including the tacked on prequel.
But, yes, every 24 season has had at least one mole involved. You see, government work really doesn't pay that well, though the benefits are nice. -
still a way better show than heroes. Heroes enjoys jumping the shark as often as it can. It's like a drinking game. Wanna bet the cheerleader gets pouty about daddy? how about a new peripheral character? Betcha that character will seem important then be dropped cold with no explanation whatsoever. Betcha someone will die and come back, someone will lose their powers then get them back, someone will change their powers. And it will just be one big show about angsting about superpowers. That show is everything that's wrong with the modern superhero genre. It doesn't elevate it, (as some initially thought,) but lowers it.
And heroes as sucked since it's first season. always has. It's not a show that was good at first then went bad. It's always sucked, (though I admit, it's sucking harder and harder as time goes.)
I fucking hate heroes. I've had to endure friends family telling me how great it is, when it's not. At least 24 still has a lot of entertainment value even if it's devolved into shrill and hilarious Right wing ego-bolstering porn. -

Freckles should have pushed the wheelchair girl down the stairs
by tallboy66
"Take that for guilt-tripping me, wheelchair bitch!" *shove* Then Jack should have snapped Freckles' neck for slapping him. Also, how did you know this was a Brannon Bragga script? Technobabble, technobabble, Technobabble!!!
-
I still don't understand what the problem is? Why isn't Jack sleeping or something? Nothing is happening!
-
is the mole on "Rack Bauer's" ass.
-
you need to go undercover.
-
The best since season three.
-
You're forgetting the opening scene of X2.
-
On yeah...the scene with Nightcrawler. I guess you're right. I guess I meant that there has't ben an invasion of the WH set outside of SFi/comics. Would be a great and fairly easy movie concept to carry out though. Plenty of West Wing sets lying around. I was visiting DC this past weekend and was struck by how well-hidden the security around the WH actually is. They sure can hide those snipers well.
On a different note, did anyone note the change in music this episode? Reminded me of an episode a few seasons back (I think it was 24) where they had this nifty spy-type music going on. Anyone remember that? -
I posted something and it never showed up.
-
Exactly what I was going to say.
Also, I have to say I love the inevitable "we're gonna act like we're wrapping up this season right now even though everyone knows the big twist is about to come" that 24 provides every season. -
First off i only started watching 24 when i bought the first season on dvd for xmas last year. I have since bought the other seasons, and agree with many of the points about season 6. Now i do think season 7 is stronger then some people do, tony is more interesting now then he was back in season 4, jack seems like any minute now he will be locked up in a loony bin due to all the ghosts he is haunted by. Freckles is a pretty strong female lead compared to his daughter or his season 2 love interest. Now what i would love to see is something on audrey, but thats personal preference. Now i dont think freckles and jack should be lovers, i like the dynamic between the two.
I also like bill buchanan more then i did before, thought he was a weak character in season 5 and 6. Chloe is always fun to watch, but please kill off janeane garofolo, cant stand that character or her as an actress. The mole was a decent twist, but it still doesnt measure up to nina or other previous moles. My overall impression so far is its a step back in the right directioin for the show, but if they do something retarded like bring back ctu or make tony stay completely good ill lose alot of faith in this season. Keep tony on the edge in between bad and good, thats where he is at his most interesting. -
Sorry for the TV pun, but seriously, tonight had it all- Chloe keeping it real, Buchanan going to bat for Jack, shootings, slappings, shit was going DOWN and it all made sense. And the Freckles/Bauer scene was great, right down to Renee promising she would have popped him (not sure about whether Jack believed her, but he was surprised that she even suggested she was serious). And what a great finishing touch with Tony and Jack doing a scene straight out off TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. I love that stuff.
-
Jack digging a piece of vital evidence out of Dubaku's [sp?] side, just like he did with Gregg Henry in season two...
-
hot damn tonight was awesome...car chases, car flips and crashes, explosions, 2 moles, shootings, twists...this is what 24 should be...the strike was the best thing that happened to this show...totally gave the writers more time to write a better story...I doubt any of this was part of the original pre-strike plan...and no Tony Todd is NOT this season's main villian it is Jon Voight's character...who I'm sure will pop up in the next episode or 2
-
Feb 24, 2009 12:00:40 AM CST
At this point every plot is a recycled one
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
Jack is pretty boring by now.
-
yeah it's official, she's hot.
she put Kevin Pereirra in an arm lock. I've never wanted to be a strained ligament so much in my life. Olivia Munn was drooling over her cause she used to be on General Hospital. Best AOTS episode ever. -
Seriously, those complaining about it being boring don't know what the fuck they're talking about. We get an awesome car-chase/explosion. We have that great scene between freckles and bauer, the mole plotline is resolved (and really well too, I loved the tension as he's trying to walk out of there).
-
A two-hour, die-hard in the white-house situation is going to be vintage 24 awesomeness!
-
It reminds of Vince Flynn's second novel Transfer of Power, which was also the first appearance of Mitch Rapp, the main protagonist of Vince's subsequent novels. Should be interesting.
-
and hope that Sarah Walker mentions her FBI sister, Renee?
-
The constant conversations like "Im so involved with this conspiracy" while walking around the office and even Moss walking about talking out loud to Renee when she is supposed to be dead and shit and out loud using names when anyone could be a mole in the FBI, its been getting a little lazy in the respect. Also when Jack gave that random guy the Critical Information chip. but over all, not a bad episode
-
Vintage 24 through and through. This and Lost are the best shows on TV right now.
-
You missed one. Maybe one or two people mentioned it, but I'm disappointed in the rest of you. In addition to the awesome SUV flip, explosion, driver getting riddled with bullets, mole reveals, angry Rack vs. Jack, and the Tony moment on the steps, during the chase scene we got a nice side-boob running shot of Freckles... keep up guys!
-
The reason it isn't typically done is that it is extremely tough to trap the President in there. There's like 4000 escape routes, I'm pretty sure there's a bunker underneath, and, well, it's heavily guarded. X2 works (well, it doesn't, but bear with me) because Nightcrawler can bamf in and out pretty quick. Real humans would have one hell of a time assaulting it. While I look forward to next week, my bullshit meter is probably going to be calibrated high.
Anyone else disappointed that Moss didn't grab Sean in the bullet wound after they nabbed him? That would've been fantastic! -
Feb 24, 2009 8:03:58 AM CST
Wait a minute...we're getting two hours next week?
by nasty in the pasty
-
Two solid hours. Which kinda sucks because my guild has Blackrock Depths scheduled for Monday, I think I need to convince them to move it to Sunday.
-
But Ann Wersching can't act to save her life
-
Slap him again Chesty.
-
You get the feeling Jack and Mitch would be the best of friends. Another paralell this season is in "Extreme Measures" Mich was testifing in front of a senate hearing on his "Extraordinary Interrogation" techniques too. He had to go stop a major attack on DC also. Hmmm. I think Vince Flynn might have a case.
-
He should have grabbed the shot arm and squeezed it, but he's not Jack Bauer. Personally, I think he should have beat the snot out of the smug prick. Medellin SUCKED!! http://www.medellinthefilm.com/
-
Let's just put my bare hand inside of a strange African man's body and let me hand off this bloody drive to a hellicopter pilot.
-
common sense, rational thought, or professionalism. These are all foreign concepts to the world of 24. But it's still fun to watch Jack run around, shout at people, and then shot them in the chest.
-
SHOOT them in the chest, whatever the case may be.
-
Season 7 has come back after the relatively weak opening it had. Even Season 6 had an unexpected nuke attack in the first four hours. Slowly but surely, it's been building up steam and tonight was pretty damn good in my opinion. Looking forward to next week's two hour event.
(And apologies to Heroes fans who found the show to be shit after Season 1 or 2. I'm sorry it took you a full season or two to realize what I did in the first episode.) -
You don't think that ... naaah
-
It all suddenly seems so obvious!Tony was really having an affair with Teri. She didn't get shot by Nina - it was her twin sister Beri! She's been in hiding and orchestrated Tony's lazarus moment so they could run this conspiracy together!Jon Voight is her brother!I've beaten you, 24 writers! I've guessed everything that's coming up!
-
Actually, there were 6 Trek movies featuring only the original cast, and then the 7th featured Kirk as well as the TNG cast.
But ignoring that point: the box set is films II-IV, which are WIDELY considered the 'Trek Trilogy,' since they are one connected story, as opposed to the rest of them, which are standalone stories. -
Wow that self erasing and one download only plot point was just retarded, it reminded me of Season 5 with them finally getting the audio file and instead of just listening to it they have to prepare it first and give a perfect opportunity for it to be destroyed, just like tonight. I mean with this ultra crucial info, why wouldn’t the first thing you did be to make ten copies of it? And if they are so worried about a mole, why the hell didn’t Chloe just download it on her non networked laptop anyway. At least she had a backup this time, but if she was mirroring or whatever the whole time why did she seem so surprised that the data was saved? Loved Jack's next time u better use it comment though.
-
This was a finale quality episode and its only this season's 10th. The herb here in Cali is top notch lately, so expect even better to come. WHat was Jack looking for in his sack BTW?
