‘There’s Been An Explosion At The White House!!’ 24 7.13!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
I loved last week’s episode, with Sen. Mayer driven to his knees beside Aaron Pierce and Bill Buchanan by angry foreigners -- all because Jack Bauer wasn’t permitted to torture more fully Blaine’s traitorous worm of a chief of staff.
If President Obama is smart, he’ll add sealing up those old tunnels beneath the White House as part of his infrastruction package!
Fox says:
When Dubaku's (Hakeem Kae-Kazim) evil plan escalates to General Juma (Tony Todd), the stakes are raised and steadfast President Taylor (Cherry Jones) faces a deepening foreign-policy dilemma.
Meanwhile, heroic sacrifices are made and casualties stack up when Jack Bauer takes charge as a high-impact terror threat develops stateside and the nation remains at risk.
Guest Cast: Kurtwood Smith as Senator Blaine Mayer; Tony Todd as General Juma; Eyal Podell as Ryan Burnett; Glenn Morshower as Aaron Pierce; Cameron Daddo as Vice President Hayworth; Sprague Grayden as Olivia Taylor; Ryan Cutrona as Admiral Smith; Frank John Hughes as Tim Woods; Jnnifer Carta as Presidential Aid; Hakeem Kae-Kazim as Dubaku; Jon Voight as Jonas Hodges.
Vice president Hayworth is played by 43-year-old Australian Cameron Daddo. I’m guessing he’ll be a Dan Quayle/Sarah Palin type, a bit out of his depth in a major crisis situation.

Juma should kill her and do the 24 universe a favor.
-
is the moral of this story.
-
Severely injured them, but never killed. I'm betting they won't change that policy now. The show is as ludicrous as ever, but it is hitting its stride again. The last four or five episodes have been very enjoyable.
-
With the president in peril and in the hands of terrorists, will we get to see a return of our old friend, 25th amendment. It's only been invoked in the 24 universe 3-4 times already. This would strangely enough be an entirely appropriate time to use it with the President being in the hands and of terrorists and a complete and total idiot.

Aren't you guys gonna gloat that WATCHMEN had a good opening?
by juansanchez
I mean - you guys pushed it as much as the studio.

Someone had to make that predicable pun.

Was it Baked Bean night? (This comment brought to you by Mel Brooks.)

24 is good escapist entertainment. I'll admit I'm watching and enjoying this season, which after last years attempt I really didn't think would happen.
But what annoys the fuck out of me is the way the makers of the show continue to insist that they are not a right-wing show.
Is this just the involuntary deny-reality reflex which seems to be genetic in Fox News people? Is this a genetic defect which actually affects all Fox shows, or even all right-wing people? I don't think so. I think the makers of 24 are just lying assholes, who won't stand up and say "Yes, we're right wing and think torture is okay sometimes!"
I mean seriously, who the fuck do they think they are kidding at this point?
"Jack! We have a problem!"
"Know what'll fix that for you? A bit of torture."
"But Jack, it's just a blocked drain."
"I DON'T CARE! Get me a pliars and a blow torch, NOW! We're running out of time!" -
Just like Charles Logan went from bumbling to nefarious in just one episode, the 24 showrunners are gonna let President Punk'd GET SOME.
-
Damn It!
-
I didn't forget to type it! There must be a frakkin MOLE who spent months infiltrating my ISP, just so he could frak with my posts!!! Who knows what else he's frakking doing? Probably inserting BSG references into my frakking posts!!
DAMN IT! -
How long until someone posts the inevitable "WTF WHY ARE YOU STILL PUTTING SPOILERS ON THE LINK!!!!!!!!!!" I give it about two hours.
-
...less than 2 hrs!
-
if i CHOOSE to spoil, I CLICK on the link, not READ it!
-
Fucking pricks. We in the UK are like 3 episodes behind, can you cut the fucking spoiler titles.
-
Of course he's not going to honor the whole Spoiler system.
If you don't know what sort of douchebaggery this site gives you by now, and are willing to accept it, maybe you should leave? Cause they'll never ever ever fucking change.
e.g. That walking cunting monstrosity Script Girl will continue to get fucking cred here, no matter how many people want to see her disappear.
And Herc will continue to place spoiler information in article titles. That's the only way he knows how to get page-hits. He sure as fuck won't get them by writing good articles, or getting advanced information anymore. -
That's the spoiler, people. Lots 'o policy coming from the President and staff.
-
of 24 either joel Surnow or Robert Cochran. called himself a rightwing nut job.

about this season but last weeks two partner tipped me...in favour. Sure it's escalated into some seriously silly shit but it was very enjoyable and there were some actually quite 'reasonable' assumptions/guesswork done by the characters/writers - i.e. a load of people on the radar are outside the secure room, the president probably made it inside.
Tony and or Bill are dirty moles - I think 24 needs more moles. -
when freckles boarded that boat I was wondering how the terrorists would namedrop where they were going - when she was presented with a sketched in pencil drawing of the White House me and my girlfriend couldn't stop laughing for about half an hour.
-
the first and second seasons were great but they started out with a concept that couldn't last... instead of writing themselves to an awesome conclusion, they just keep going. It's like watching seven different versions of Dr.NO, with kieffer shouting at people throughout each one.
-
I think that Juma was using this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiber_Creek (remove spaces). While Tiber Creek doesn't get you to the White House, it gets you a lot closer (almost to the Ellipse if I'm reading the maps correctly) than the Potomac does.
-
Not to hijack this thread, but really, why doesn't it? It's got everything that normally appeals to this site. Source material - check. Action - check. Definitive unfolding mythology - check. Cute girl(s) - check. Strong peformances (especially from Lena Headley) - check. What gives?
-
I've never heard an explicit denial from one of the creators that they don't agree with the show's methods.
-
The best character they've created in years.
-
an image or blurb advertising Watchmen-related merch in EVERY article?
-
I have a bad feeling about tonight.
-
It's entertainment, people! It's suspense. It's film noir. This isn't real life. Get over yourselves already!
-
Bill and Aaron are two of the most likeable characters on the show. Where's a big, fat, lumbering Edgar when you need one...? Speaking of which, I saw the guy who played him on some show recently. Must have been the first time he worked in years. Somewhat fitting given his post-death tirade on how he was the biggest thing on the show (no kidding, chubbs).
-
is another country's recap.
-
i have no idea why 24 gets a talkback every week while heroes and SCC fall by the wayside, The latter hasn't really ever gotten an article/TB and its a great show. The only thing about the scc that worries me is that its on FOX, so they'll drop it at a moments notice.
-
was a Democrat
-
There was a good article in the NY Times last year in which they commented that SCC has a tone that fits the somber times that we live in. Lena Headley, in particular, is great as Sarah. She delivers a truly soulful performance.

There are old tunnels. Various presidents have used them.
by evilwizardglick
W last used them to smuggle hooker fake newsman Jeff Gannon in and out for "briefings". Both W and Rove would jointly "brief" Gannon repeatedly.
-
im hoping she saves AARON PIERCE, AGENT OF SHEILD. Chuck, 8pm, NBC
-
I hear they may have "un-briefed" him. OOOOOOOoooohhhhh....
*cough* -
..I’m guessing he’ll be a Dan Quayle/Sarah Palin type, a bit out of his depth in a major crisis situation...
You obviously forgot the obvious choice of a person out of his depth in a major crisis, the current fraud president Hussein
-
Was actually kind of dumb since we've never seen either of them involved in a crisis situation. You honestly never know how anyone will react in a crisis until it happens.
-
Listen this is why we left England... you guys piss and moan waayy too much. Seriously get over it you prick.. this is an American show and if we want spoilers... by God we will get spoliers. You think just because you gave us "The Office" you have the right to dictate terms... go "F" yourself you whiny little bitch
-
shut the fuck up and go eat some kentucky-fried you ignorant small-dick pile of trash.
-
not that one, but an Australian TV movie, set in WW2. Also had David Wenham in it, an awesome little movie..
-
... I'm not going to be happy about it. I think the writing is probably on the wall for Aaron as he has always seemed like the type to make an heroic sacrifice.
-
Cause didn't Nick Cage kidnap President Kennedy (13 days) using them in National Treasure 2?
-
Not the White House
-
Great, another dittohead. I love how the right wing can't just disagree, they have to insult, call for death, make racially-tinged comments and call people unamerican. *Shrugs* Maybe if you guys had some ideas (and didn't run a 72 year old and a complete moron) you might have won. Or maybe not. Better luck in 2012.
-
Awww did I hurt you delicate sentimentality??? Jesus every freakin week its the same god damn argument... get over it already you people seriously its a freakin show. And kentucky-fried??? Seriously? Is that the best ya got?? I would hope not or I weep for you children.
-
....not "Bucky" Buchanan
-
...really get fucked over on this site, don't we? I deliberately avoid coming on to the weekly '24' and 'Galactica' talkbacks, but each week we get a line of dialogue on the home page link that gives something away and spoils a little bit of the anticipation of sitting down and watching the whole damn thing in a two or three day jam.So now I know that halfway through this season of '24' there's an explosion at the White House. Cheers for that, you prick.
-
...that the box on the home page says 'spoiler', the very line on it is a fucking spoiler, which you don't know unless you read the box telling you it's a spoiler.Anyway, don't bother replying to this rant, I'm only passing through for a moan. See you back on the 'Watchmen' boards...Biggus out. (Though not as 'out' as Osterman's cock...)
-
LOL. I think you invented a new word.
-
I really need that shit spelled out for me, heh. It was rather amusing that Voight was eating Chinese and playing darts while Juma was blowing up the White House and its five guards.
-
Round Two. With Jack in tears at the end of that preview, my money'd be on Buchanon. Supposedly he wasn't even going to be in this season at all.
-
and within one tiny paragraph, it dropped 3 major spoilers about this season without warning?
-
Best character since Dessler, may she rest in peace. (Good to see her on LOST, even if she plays a snivelling biyatch.) Now, let's hope that the writers don't dispense of her or fade her away like so much a Kim, or an Audrey Raines or Kate Warner. Seems as though the writers don't know what to do with good females after they write them. Other than kill them.

This show is worse than it's ever been now
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
It's embarassing to think I was such a huge fan in the beginning, it's a whole different show now. It's like a spoof of itself.
-
It hasn't reached the creative heights of seasons 1, 2, or 5 yet, but with half a season remaining, there's still time.
-
First half was poor for the most part. The prison break sparked the beginning of the reall outlandish 24 plotlines, though I did like the game of Russian Roulette that I seem to recall them playing. The section in Mexico was rubbish. Then they had their two month haitus which the producers admit was to overhaul the writing, and came back with the barn-storming final 8 episodes in the hotel. It's a real shame that they killed the villain off as he had a lot of potential. Had a penchant for turtle-necks if memory serves me correctly.
-
The three episodes immediately following the release of the virus we're some of the best 24 episodes ever. The rest of season 3 was pretty boring though. Especially the Mexico stuff. Also, they killed off Sherry Palmer, one of the show's best characters, in the most horrendously stupid way possible. Season 4 was so scatter-shot w/ its plotlines, but it did have its moments. Season 5, for me, was the closest 24 has ever come to perfection. And then season 6.... let's just be thankful the show even survived season 6.
-
Just because there's torture? Torture transcends well beyond right wing ideology. Just because the only time we've really seen in by Americans in recent years has been under a right wing president doesn't make it right wing politics. In fact, in the past it has been used by any and all political types.
Remember that 24 has also brought forth a black president and now a woman president...that doesn't sound so right wing to me...especially since when the show first came out I don't think anyone would have predicted a black president anytime soon. -
Sure it's a spoiler in the title...but then again you could make the assumption that the explosion is a very loud verbal argument...that's not an uncommon reference...so it's still not necessarily a spoiler unless you read too much into it....
Ok...that was kind of full of crap but I just had to be a smart arse. -
"I’m guessing he’ll be a Dan Quayle/Sarah Palin type, a bit out of his depth in a major crisis situation." Oh, like Joe Biden who can't even remember the right website for an important press conference? Like Joe Biden, who told a guy in a wheelchair at another event to "stand up"? Hercules, you just kill me, ha ha.
-
For me at least. Aside from the running joke of Marwan hiding under the bed, running up a flight of stairs, etc, I can't think of a single memorable moment in the show. Was that the one that started with Jack walking the earth, David Banner style? Or was that Season 5? There wasn't one of the trademark "Holy Shit!" moments, Jack killing the guy for his head at the end of Episode 1 of Season 2, and Ryan Chappelle getting it in the back of the head in Season 3 being two memorable examples.
-
The most memorable moment of season 4 was the ending w/ Jack faking his own death and then walking into the sunset. Pretty badass ending. And it set up Season 5 very nicely. Other than that, yeah, it was very derivative. Houdini Marwan was classic though.
-
You might as well cash in your 401K the day you take that job. How many bosses has he had now? Season 1: Tony S2: Mason S3: Chappell S4: can't remember (see above) S5: The Hobbit (is that right?) and Buchanan's wife S6: Buchanan. Is that right?
-
Very good actually , I am hooked again.
-
In season 1, it was Walsh for two episodes before he got capped, then it was Alberta Green, and then it was Mason. In season 2, it was Mason until he died of in the most glorious death EVER, and then it was Chappelle. Season 3 it was Chappelle until he got capped. Season 4 it was Erin Driscoll until her daughter went crazy and committed suicide in CTU medical, then it was Tony, and then it was Bill. Season 5 it was Bill, then the Hobbit, then Karen Hayes. Season 6 it was Bill. So... Bill has lived far beyond his life expectancy.

Ahhh yes...Erin Driscoll (the hot mom from Spanking the Monkey)
by chimpjnr
They had that short preview on the S3 boxed set that featured her and Jack having a little chat. We heard Jack drop the F-bomb. The closest we have ever come to a true R rated "24". Can you imagine it...?
-
...and her crazy daughter. Man, that season sucked.
-
A 24 season still taking place in one day, but out of order... Lost style?
-
Yeah, EW certainly did drop a few bombs. Apparently this season is about to get ... even more ridiculous.
-
With husband and child apparently. The creepy psychologist guy from Season 5? How are they possibly going to drop that into the plot, especially since we are now going into the night-time hours?
-
Yes.
-
That'd be a first for 24...
-
First off, what kind of reading comprehension skills have you attained, as I said nothing Racist in my comments. Secondly, at least be original in your insults instead of stealing a page from the current White House playbook by lumping people who disagree with you in with Rush Limbaugh.
And Finally, if your rant was referring to my moniker, it's a reference to a South Park episode.
Have a good day. -
...an AICN columnist uses two REPUBLICAN names, and not a single DEMOCRAT one, to back up his description of an "out of his depth" Veep. So, what, the ONLY bumbling pols are conservatives? Give me a friggin' break. Palin wasn't even ELECTED, you goober. How "out of [her] depth" has she been as Governor of Alaska? You knuckleheads would have all been singing her praises when she brought Big Oil to its knees and beat concessions out of 'em to defray the environmental costs of their industry to, oh, only the biggest unmaligned wilderness LEFT in North America. But you didn't KNOW about Satah Palin then, did you? You only started having an opinion about her when she was selected as McCain's running mate, and then you learned everything you needed to know from Katie Couric, 'SNL' and the Obama campaign. And not a single, solitary SHRED of information more.
What, never heard of Hubert Humphrey. who was so milquetoast as to very nearly foment a rebellion within his own party for his total insrcutability? Or Henry Wallace, who declared his admiration for the Bolshevik Revolution and its part in the global march toward "freedom"? And DON'T tell me that either Walter "Where's the Beef?" Mondale OR your Patron Saint of Corporate Pickpocketing and Global Warming, erm, I meant, Climate Change, the Reverend Albert Gore, was worth a damn, either. Hell, I was almost a DELEGATE for Gore back in '88, but the man was a TOTAL non-entity, a nonfactor as the second-most-powerful putative environmentalist in all of human history. Fact is, George W. Bush, a Republican of all things, purportedly a planet-hating, seal-smashing, polar bear-drowning global rapist, did far, FAR more to support environmental conservationism as President for 8 years, than Nobel Prize recipient and Democrat national officer Gore did in an equal number of years as Vice President. Stick that in your peace pipe and smoke it.
And, what, so now JOE BIDEN is an actual STATESMAN? Whose acid trip is THAT? This guy's the biggest turnip we've had in Washington since Gerry Ford. Holy cow, I am SO fucking SICK of you AICN sycophants using your site as an excuse to force-feed your narrow political ideologies down the throats of your readers... How long 'til you debut a new feature called 'AICN Politics', anyway? Or start running banners sponsored by ACORN? Or, hell, why not just start calling the site 'The Daily Har'?
Oh, well, keep slipping your so-called "progressive" politics into EVERY SINGLE DAMN STORY YOU AUTHOR, I know you're under orders from His Harryness to promote liberalism / socialism / communism, in general, and Obamarama in particular, in all things and at all time. The Cause MUST BE SERVED! YES, WE CAN! TWELVE MORE YEARS!! DA, TOVARISCH KOMRADE, DA!!!
-
Head on back to that White House set.
-
...aren't they?
-
Right up until Driscoll gets fucked.
-
Or at least the most annoying. No one else has been close. I rather like the President this season.
-
Total sympathy vote for his brother.
-
the casualties theyre talking about must be bill and aaron pirce
-
Daniel Faraday in Lost.
-
24 is about as realistic as spiderman these days and thats okay. In 24 world their is no surveillance system in the whitehouse or it isn't constantly monitored, secret service agents fall over like dominoes, and its okay that Tony delivered the CIP device which killed over 200 people, but thats okay because catching Dubaku has moral superiority over saving a commercial airliner. Can you imagine? Its okay Madame President, if Tony hadn't let all those people die, we would have never caught Dubaku. How about, if Tony hadn't given the CIP device to Dubaku, he never would have had any leverage on you in the first place.
-
I still enjoy this season though
-
about all of his comments - and yes, there should be a political talkback - although that wouldn't stop the liberal politics being injected in hundreds of these reviews.
-
The washington police are great at making a road block for Jack Bauer and Renee Walker, but they can't be expected to catch Dubaku in such a quick and efficient manner.
-
was the actual cause of the explosion. That or my nuts being rubbed so much...
-
A few seasons back the terrorists hired some US Air Force pilot to shoot down Air Force One? They just never mentioned whether he was alive or dead because the producers thought that would upset viewers or the government or something.
-
A good storyline would be Jack torturing someone who really didn't know what was going on and was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. This show explores Right Wing views under only the most ideal circumstances.
-
He is being kept in cryostasis until the technology can be perfected to heal him, right next to Wayne Palmer, David Palmer, and Logan
-
...just so that Jack can make sure he's dead.
-
haha. The lack of surveillance cameras in the White House is ridiculous. No defense for that. However, in defense of the CIP device plotline, their endgame wasn't just to catch Dubaku. It was to expose the government corruption and find out who the moles were. The CIP device, etc. was the only way for Team Tony to get close to Dubaku and question him.
-
Like the piece of tech that controlled nuclear power plants a coupe of seaons back. Or the nuke from Season 2. They really need to think up something just as threatening but not as gimmicky.
-
If you saw the sneak peaks, you can see Bill is engulfed by the explosion. When Jack is sitting on his but what looks like after the siege is over, a body that looks like Bill Buchanan lays near him.
-
Bill farted near an open flame and died. Forunately, the distraction allowed Jack to single handedly kill all of Juma's men. Thanks Bill.
-
I just thought that they never bothered to explain that one in case they needed him for an emergency plotline in a future season. Does anyone know if Wayne Palmer is alive, or did he also get that treatment?
-
I should be live-talkbacking the ep in 1 hour and 7 minutes. Set your laptop to refresh page!
-
in their lives. Does this strike anyone else as hilarious?
-
A Gitmo prisoner just released said he was treated worse under Obama's administration than the Bush administration - well gee whiz, how did that happen??
-
Just for a few hours tonight the UK and the US were at the same point!!
I was finally able to read all the post form the various websites without being afriad of SPOILERS.
God, I wish I could do that more often...
Anyway, top marks for this season of 24.
It's really good I must say? full of action, tense, great characters, good twists...
WELL DONE to all INVOLVED -
Mar 09, 2009 7:43:41 PM CDT
A Gitmo prisoner just released said he was treated worse under O
by raystevensonwarzone
That sounds like a highly credible well sourced fact.
-
I tell ya, this season started off VERY slow for me (I still don't like bringing Tony back), but it's starting to get very good now. The spoilers weren't even needed...you can pretty much tell from the previews that Bill is gonna die tonight. It's shame, but for "24" he actually made it quite a while.
-
They were replaced by evil repetitive computers.
-
once you hit the four season mark you're as good as dead.
-
Say good bye to these House!
-
God, the name even sounds like he'd be a giant douchebag.
-
"You must be ready!"
-
You really have to appreciate Jack Bauer being just like a Bond villain, explaining everything that's going on.
-
haha
-
FUCK NO!!!
-
R.I.P. Bill
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
-
RIP Bill.
-
I HAVE THE PRESIDENT!
-
Crapola.
-
RIP Bill... not as cool as Mason, but not a bad 2nd place way to go.
-
Been good knowing you Bill
-
RIP Bill Buchanan
-
*cries*
-
God that guy couldn't act.
-
Damn! RIP Bill, YOU ARE A GREAT AMERICAN!
-
Jack was back in his element in that firefight, I bet Juma hated being killed by a white guy.
-
has come to ruin our Bill Buchanan love in :)
-
Sadly, Senator Dumbass lives.
-
Would've sucked just to have him get shot or some shit.
-
So he could let Jack off the hook at the end of the season.
-
Jack gets to kill him, right?
-
go. First thing she should do is fire the VP.
-
Ironic foreshadowing?
-
president's daughter reeks of bullshit to me
-
The dim glow falling upon the dried blood of Union brothers in the Manassas eve still guides our path. Constellations, hidden by fierce Pacific storms in the Bataan sky remain obscured by rain. The stars - a billion for every life laid down in Vietnam - still shine on us and will guide those who follow.
-
like a hostage situation.
-
Kern, Son Of Mogh
-
anything like Ravenwood in Jericho?
-
He's going to have the main guard shoot her since she's willing to testify
-
Jack, thanks for single handedly saving the President, Agent put Mr. Bauer in handcuffs.
Man, Moss is as asshole. -
She doesn't give up easily...
-
It's more than he deserves
-
Jack, you saved the day again, but we're gonna have to handcuff you. Sorry bud.
-
Needs to do more swimming and running
-
"If you want to see Rack alive, you'll need to--"
"Kill Agent Moss?"
"No, I was going to say--"
"Are you sure, because I could kill him for you" -
and they keep locking him up. Hey, makes sense to me.
-
FUCK you, Moss.
-
BEAT THE FUCKING TRUTH OUT OF HIM!!!
-
(That subject was in my drop-down list)
-
Who's going to come around to the Bauer side just in time to get blown up or somethin'.
-
it looks like it's just you....me....your Balls.....and this drawer!!!
-
I'm really, really hoping Moss bites it at the end of this season. Moreso than even Senator dumbass.
-
So Olivia was responsible for the "Godless" ad?
-
Almost worked
-
Someone gets it! Just listen to Jack!
-
Does that mean... no more... no more... no more Rack? No more Freckles?
This might be worse than losing Bill. -
(I'm calling it)
-
During the copter take-off.
-
another Heir to the Massengill Fortune
I feel so safe now -
Your a Big Fucking Pussy!
-
He might learn something
-
He took the idiot stick with him>
-
Moss suddenly has a great New England accent. I've known this women for nine years and she would never give me anal, but shes already done ass to mouth with you Jack several times in the last nine hours!
-
Worked for Tony.
-
What's with all the dumbasses?
-
I won't hurt him. I'm just gonna hook up his nuts to this here Battery.
-
for treatment.
You monster!
Zing!
(Just kidding, eh) -
innocent with no family to help out a terrorist plan...
-
He was a pedophile who killed small girls when he was done with them. Oh, and he littered.
-
was just for practice though.
-
Dammit - where have I seen that actor before?
-
Presidential offspring pussy is the BEST.
-
Hmmmmmm ...
-
Prez' Daughter? You sly old Fox!!!
-
Aaron Pierce. Man of Action. He ain't just gonna hit that. He gonna tear that up.
-
was on General hospital as Jax's brother. He was a terrorist when he first was on the show and got involved with the mob. So you know he is noble...
-
I'm guessing Martha was just committed to a high-security facility because of her attack on Charles Logan.
-
Also, Olivia (?) is ripping that guy a new one.
-
raise their ... hands
-
I bet Quentuin ends up with some medical scissors in his jugular.
-
Who cleans this place! You call that HOSPITAL FOOD?
-
anyway
-
12 minutes. Nice sneer of contempt!
-
When was the last time we'd seen the Bauer smirk?
-
sound almost like Doctor Evil saying Riiiiiight
-
I've built up an immunity to iocane powder...
-
Mar 09, 2009 8:54:12 PM CDT
Awwwww frack!!! Jack's getting framed?! On top of all else???
by dogmatic
-
Why is Jack just assuming that they didn't see that on the video feed?
-
Damn It!
-
We need to tally the "dammits" a little better... Moss be stealing Jack's line.
-
'nuff said.
-
wasn't a complete dumbass
-
Man the cops are johnny on the spot when they are chasing Jack.
That nerve agent was a new one, Quentuin was pretty good after all. -
every roadhouse crackhouse henhouse and whore house for a 5 mile radius.
Your subject's name is Jack Bauer!!! -
using the 2 minute nerve agent
-
Does anyone else think that was a a particularly strong single episode, the likes of which we haven't seen in some time. The second half was even better than the first. All that assassin shit was awesome, I was glued to the tv. It even made sense for the most part. I loved it. I want to know other opinions on this one.
-
not killing Jack showed him it was meant to be a setup, and the only way a setup could work is if the video feed was terminated/looped.
-
not as good as last weeks, despite the complete ridiculousness that occurred last week. IMHO.
-
turn off all cellphones and get your Popcorn ready cause the show is just starting!
-
YEA!
-
Morris! Chloe! Rack! Next week on 24!! BE THERE!
-
That was a big problem a couple of seasons back. He probably just cut out the salt.
-
That setup was so fucking lame.
-
good night
-
He's gotta be a part of the conspiracy because why would he not have someone search the crime scene and find the canister that corroborates Jack's story? And now he is going after Jack? Fuck that douchebag... MOSS IS THE REAL VILLAIN THIS SEASON
-
Larry acting completely illogicaly!
-
My initial thought was that it was a bit of a stretch, but I guess if you're knocked out and nobody's come in to bail you out, it's not a bad assumption to make.
-
What am i missing here? Except for the relationship between Jack and Walker, just about everything in this season we have seen in others. I actually like the debates Bauer has witH Walker about just how far one should go. All in all, however, there really isn't much this season that hasn't been done before.
-
was awesome..except for the fact that the terrorists got into the white house by swimming through the potomac, into an abandoned building (??what??) and then breaking through a few brick walls and lasers into the white house. IMHO, that was the single most preposterous thing that 24 has ever done. Worse than the cougar. Especially because they didn't even acknowledge it. They just made it happen in ten seconds so you didn't question it. This week was so much more badass. SO much happened!
-
Now this was a 24 episode. Larry Moss is such an incompetent petty asshole. "Larry, we've got the terrorists pinned down, should we move in?"
NO! We need to bring Jack to Justice! Call them off! -
What exactly is the point of not killing Jack once you've disabled him?
-
...I actually liked the fact they didn't address that bit of lunacy. They just said: "Yeah, we know it's horseshit, but it's a means to an end. Just wait till you see what happens WHEN they get in!" Retarded? Sure. Entertaining? FUCK YES. And I was honestly really upset about Bill. DAMMIT!
-
Sorry, random Simpsons reference
-
oh, uh...hi there Agent Walker...
-
Where she travels through time carrying a sword. Sometimes she jumps through time but her clothes get left behind. Then she gets to slap guys that stare at her. I'd watch that. Instead we get shows like "Castle". Ugh.
-
nothing else to add. this was tops.
-
Does that mean a nude interrogation episode is in the pipe? -
Anyone else think this latest plot twist is, well, lame? (OK, with 24 that question is sort of ridiculous at this point because breaking into the White House is apparently as easy as finding my old porn stash in the basement of my parents' home.) It seems the writers think fans only like Jack if he's working outside and against the system — or they think it's a good way to generate tension. Putting aside suspension of disbelief per the assassin getting into the hospital room so quickly, the whole setup seemed forced. Also, the show's attempts to create a dialogue on Jack's use of torture thus far have been laughable, with everyone arguing against made out to be incompetent, whiny or lacking courage. If the show was honest with itself, it would examine what happens when Jack tortures someone, gets bad info and acts on it. And in the process fucks everything up.
-
Decent episode. the first 10 minutes rocked. the final 35 or so, were ok - moved the story along.
Olivia is this season's Kim, for the final 12 hours.
Moss isn't a bad guy, he's just by-the-book. A lot like Tony season 1. He can change (or might not, since Rene is his JB).
Is Ethan Kane involved? I'm hoping not, because that'd be too easy. But, this is 24. Easy it is.
As for the politics, I think I read a season or two back that the producers tried to make Bauer's situations more right-of-center decisions, and used the President's situations for left-of-center decisions. This season, there's almost no lines, very blurred. -
They found a cure for cancer!!! Jack Bauer cried!!!!!!
-
Time and again he risks his own life to save the country, and they return the favor by locking him up. If the writers are planning to have him become the "villain" in the final season, it's actually a clever and effective ploy. We would continue to support and empathize with him, which is essential in an anti-hero scenario. Good episode tonight BTW - whoever made the comment about the Gordan Ramsey lookalike read my mind. Should have pulled out a set of steak-knives to really drive it home.
-
The setup at the end was pretty lame, but they had to do something to get Jack rogue yet again so unless the season falls apart after tonight it'll be a forgotten blip
Aaron Pierce, Agent of SHIELD isn't done. Once Olivia has the 'facts', she's going to need Aaron's help. Count on it.
I don't think Ethan is involved, otherwise earlier scenes make very little sense. Unless his connection is solely to Voight.
Speaking of Voight, it sounds like his plan is to threaten attack and hope that the President caves due to all the death that has already transpired today.
Ok, feel free to applause now. GRAVITAS! -
Out Cherry Palmer-ing Cherry Palmer. Not sure if that means that she is good or bad, but she's sure as hell not going to be a walkover.
-
saddest death since they killed president palmer. i loved that man!!
-
The finest CTU director ever.
-
Please excuse me if this is a dumb quesation about the silent clock. I discovered the show on dvd this past summer and watch all seasons one right after the other and this is the first season I've ever seen actually air. So I assumed the silent clock always meant a character ain't coming back since it occurs after someone dies and as a way to pay repect to a fan fav. If that's the case why did season 6 end on a silent clock? Was it because we are not gonna see audrey again? And why did mason get a silent clock in season 2 when he came back in the next episode to sneak on the plane and die in the nuclear explosion in the desert? Alsao gotta give u guys props for the way u can wait a week before the conclusion of a great cliff hanger. I would have gone nuts waiting that long but since I saw it on dvd I just went right into the next episode. This season I hate waiting for the next episode
-
A moment of silence for Bill Buchanan. Now THAT is how to die on 24.
-
did indeed go out like a man. Kudos.
-
will take Bill's death.
-
Losing Bill sorta stung, though. I usually dont get attached to TV characters anymore, but this one got me pretty good.
-
as a guest star?
-
Bill!!! oh god. What about Karen?! This show kills too many good characters without first providing other characters we can get emotionally invested in.
-
Jack and Rack hook up...Chloe kicks Giraffealo's ass...anyone else care to chime in?
-
I'll play. The Lesident's daughter will die, Tony is still a villian, Logan will reappear, kim will finally have a rematch with the cougar on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial only this time IT'S PERSONAL!
-
Buchanan had some sort of terminal illness, which will make his death less poignant...Aaron reveals all to the 1st Bitch/Daughter...Moss is revealed to be related to Rack Bauer.
-
wanted to pull Jack to her ample freckled bosom and say, "It's ok. Here, find solace in my ample, freckled bosom." You could see it in her eyes.
-
My first guess was GTO. Not too confident though. Anyone?
-
left.
-
Just a classic lefty! doesnt care about whats happened to other poor cunts that may be dead.. its all about the bureaucratic bullshit being done the right way :P
and yeah, 24 has been outstanding over the last few weeks -
LIVES!!!
The man was hit face on with an RPG. Some sissy bullet isn't gonna take him down. And he would've survived the room explosion too.
Aaron Pierce, AOS: http://tinyurl.com/c5yuku
Silent timer for Bill, though. I was sad to see him go. Especially in his new Shadow Field Agent asskickery role this year.
One job never to have? CTU Director. Just ask George Mason, Ryan Chappelle, Lynn McGill, and now Bill Buchanan. With CTU gone now, I guess they don't have to worry about it.
Moment of silence for Bill.
... -
Chloe isn't an original. Aaron is though.
-
I remember him from that Showtime show with the shuttle crew that time travelled, saw Earth destroyed, and had to go back to prevent it. Christopher Henderson...err Peter Weller was also part of the cast.I thought this episode kinda sagged in the middle, in the aftermath of the raid and Bill's RIP moment, but it's been a solid season so far. It's been a good week, with Burn Notice wrapping up enjoyably, Breaking Bad and Reaper back, and Chuck was good this week too. Sucks that there's no new Lost though.
-
What was the name of that show with the shuttle - anyone know if was any good/worth catching/was there any closure to it?
Saw the first ep and remember liking it -
Moss is the last mole in a whole fucking government full of moles. I mean, how do you fire Rack Bauer!?!

Aaron is still clearly traumatized from his time as Martha's hou
by chimpjnr
When Olivia touched on it, you could see the pain in his eyes. The memory of wearing an apron and unloading the dishwasher was just too painful to talk about. Hell, the man had to get shot in the arm to remind himself of what it feels like to be a man again. And you, sir, are a MAN.
-
One of the best "24" characters still (presumably) alive. He's got his mini copy of the Guide of the Constitution (foreword by Caroline Kennedy) in his back pocket, earmarked to the 25th Amendment, and he's not afraid to use it...
-
Sad to see ol BBQ Buchanan go.
-
That dude was classic 24. Creepy as hell and sadistic the way he talked to that old dude first. You could tell he got off on his job. This show is kicking ass so far this season. I still don't trust the Prez's hot daughter though. She's either evil or just a hardass.
-
Wasn't the point of his conversation with the old man to make sure that he didn't have any dependents? Sure, it could be to ensure that they wouldn't launch some sort of inquiry into his death, but I didn't get the impression that he was speaking to him for sadistic reasons.
-
I'd like a slice of that pie...Great episode by the way, looks like Jack is gonna be doing rogueish stuff, which is always entertaining.
-
Bill deserved to go out better than that. That whole plan of Jacks was just stupid and only worked because it was written to work. The daughter plotline is getting old real quick. But lamest of all, we had yet another, Jack has to torture someone before someone could kill the suspect plot. This is the most torture repetitive season to date. Jack was right, it should have been him, not Bill who died. Bill at least had some depth. And since when can a chief of staff issue orders to an FBI director, even when Moss is against it, and knows the president is against it? That just makes no sense.
-
Disliked- Bill dead
Disliked- the inevitable frame up
liked -Chesty Bauers rack
disliked- her acting- go back to soap operas but leave your tits here -
Yes! One of the best moments of the season, the other one being that Jack can fly and land on Tony to fight with him in the second hour!
-

Classic heroic death, lots of action, and a kickass hitman that actually got the better of Jack.
-
There's a reason he is named Aaron "Pierce."

On the next "Hell's Kitchen": Jack kills Gordon Ramsey!
by mrmysteryguest
Oops!
-
I'd like to see complete pandemonium break out... perhaps a super flu already spread across continents. Government breaks down and it's survival of the fittest. Total bleak scenario. 24 is about people dying. The worse it is or the more tragic, the better the season.
-
That bitch that fell down the stairs.
-
survival of the tittest.
-
Aaron Pierce IS Sayid's father.
-
"Ethan what are we going to do?" What a dingbat. Where's Archie Bunker when you need him?
-
I bet 24 would love to do an "all hell breaks loose/pandemonium" season, but sadly, they don't have the budget to do it. All they could afford last year was one episode of pandemonium after the nuke went off, and after that, it was business as usual.
-
As soon as the guy Burnett was willing to start talking, Jack should have asked him to start talking. Or, better editing or writing could have had the dude in the ceiling get there faster or whatever. Come on!
-
When they didn't do an entire season of Jack escaping from captivity in China. Murdock probably squashed it because he did not want to piss off the Chinese and screw up a business deal.
How about Jack and Arron Pierce Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. are on thier way to a security conferance in India and his plane has to make an emergency stop in Burma the Burmese try to turn Jack back over to the Chinese mayhem ensues.
TBTB need to ditch the USA is under attack formula it is played out make the stakes more personal, Jack running for his life in a foreign land. -
...you mean like Nancy Pelosi this week saying that Immigration Raids (and anyone who supported them) are Un-American? Yeah nothing more Un-American then enforcing the law and removing folks from the country who arent supposed to be here in the first place. In other words the left (Pelosi, Alexander etc) and their brand of far left (bordering on facism strangely enough) politics is any better? Obama is a front man, a naive feel good face put on the Pelosi and gang policies...the sugar on the bad medicine. Im watching this bullshit unfold with placating the Taliban and I want to retch. Pussies. Clinton tried the same shit and Bin Laden himself exploited and mocked the liberal weak in the knees chickenshit policies that enabled him to muster resources and manpower. If Clinton had done his job Bin Laden would have been dusted. Clinton instead pulled us out of Somalia (an Al Qaeda financed Muhhamad Farah Adid), let the 93 WTC bombing go with a slap on the wrist and told the SEAL TEAM that had Bin Laden in their sights to stand down.
Spare me the liberal ramblings. There are folks here who have had the balls to actually FACE these animals and to hear a bunch keyboard cowboys speculate about shit they dont have the balls to actually experience first hand all based on a TV show is laughable.
Sign up or shut up. Your freedoms and abilities to sit here freely and talk about whatever the fuck you want were bought and paid for by stronger heart folks then yourselves putting it on the line and doing some unsavory things in the process to pay for your lives of leisure. Its really easy to sit back and muse on shit you know nothing about when youve never had to put anything on the line to pay for that right. -
Fine, I'm shallow...but I got a real kick out of it. It's not original, but it was a nice change of pace. For the last few episodes, the threat was Dubaku, then it was Juma. I just got tired of the threat being voiced in that generic african accent. I was ready to roll my eyes in anticipation of Dubaku pulling a Marwan. Now it's Jack vs everyone else, the way it should be. And there are shades of Costner's "No Way Out". Jack's most creative when he's on his own. Remember the can with bullets in season whatever? Wasn't that cool?
-
The series was called Odyssey 5. I caught the first few, but not the rest of its only season. Apparently, it was never resolved, but the creator, Manny Coto (who's also a 24 producer) wants to finish it some day.
-
While super flu hasn't been used as a 24 device, the BBC show Survivors tackled that very topic recently (though it was itself a remake of a drama from the 1970s based on a book written by Dalek creator Terry Nation). The new series is well worth looking for if it ever gets to BBC America
-
...I wasn't paying enough attention, apparently. Did Senator Dumbass save Jack's life, or did Jack save his life? I remember one of Juma's goons pointing a gun, and Mayer saying "no, no, no!" and then Jack blowing the goon away, but I can't remember if the gun was aimed at Jack (and Mayer warned him) or Mayer (and his womanly plea for help alerted Jack, who saved him). Any help?
-
could have had the siege go on for a while longer.... so that Bill's time of death is 8.59:56 - plonk plink plonk plink
-
Voight continues to rule. Rack can do what she wants now and Jack and Quinn will face off for a little agent death match action. God this season is fucking awesome!
-
...but they gave him the silent plinks. I'm gonna miss that character.
-
Love the fact that he's bringing some real character to this role. Let's see if he can make me forget he made "Kung Fu Dog" a few years ago. Seriously, wow.
-
great, inspired piece of casting. His line delivery is a crackup. He's so smooth and cool even when it looks like the shit's hitting the fan.
Oh, cool that Bauer is on the run wanted by the FBI for murder. Heh. Now not only does he have to figure out what the hell is going on, but he has to do it as a wanted man. Yeah. Pile the shit higher and deeper on him and the more there is the more badass he becomes. -
Looked creepy and unusually graphic for "24". Jack could at least have closed his eyes out of respect.
-
BILL!! NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they officially announced season 7 Bluray and DVD for May 19th
by levidtinker
Iam excited they are finally going to start releasing the show on bluray. and what a great season to start with.
I wonder why they are releasing the Bluray and dvd so soon after the season finale? -
Should have lasted half the season and been the main thing this season was about. They could have built suspense up hour by hour. As it is, everything keeps changing so much week to week it's hard to care about it all.
-
When Jack got up he closed Bill's eyes.
