First by Rybock	Mar 5th, 2007 01:54:19 AM
Had to happen sometime.
Ill miss it tonight by LeviDTinker	Mar 5th, 2007 01:56:40 AM
Tonight is the Los Angeles premiere of 300 at work, but thank goodness myspace will have it online after midnight to watch for free.
So will Jack actually cut off any fingers??? by whatcokes	Mar 5th, 2007 02:15:57 AM
...or will this be another of his fake-outs? Anyone wanna take bets?
Crazy Right Wing Policies--Keeping you safe since 9/11. by uss cygnus	Mar 5th, 2007 02:30:52 AM
I can understand all the cheap shots at Bush and Cheney, given the MASSIVE amount of terrorist strikes in this country since 9/11/01...Oh, wait. That's right... There haven't been any...except in the "24" universe. Still, AICN's "24" spies still love to bitch about "Crazy Right Wing Policies" and take thinly veiled shots at the Bush Administration. Such ironclad logic at work.
AARON FUCKING PIERCE RETURNS!!!! by whatcokes	Mar 5th, 2007 02:34:57 AM
Next Week!! I can hardly contain my excitement!
SIXTH!!! by J-Dizzle	Mar 5th, 2007 02:42:24 AM
yeah baby!
24 has jumped the shark 3 years ago by marcus torrance	Mar 5th, 2007 03:43:26 AM
Day 6 may be funnier than Day 5, which was already the Best Sitcom of The Year. It's not even thrilling any more. It's just a huge load of shit every week.
Speaking of iron-clad logic, uss cygnus... by raw_bean	Mar 5th, 2007 03:56:00 AM
...I hope you're not trying to make a 'my shoes act as tiger repellant: look how few tigers I've happened upon since I bought them' argument for the Bush\Cheney administration being responsible for preventing any further terror strikes since 9/11. :^) Also I think you're being overly sensitive; I didn't see any deliberate reference to the real world in those spoiler reports. I mean, they WERE 'crazy right-wing policies' in the show!
When the makers got rid of by emeraldboy	Mar 5th, 2007 04:55:48 AM
the real time element. the show died. They havent given wayne palmer time. They are threatening to kill him and in exactly the same way that they tried to kill David Palmer in Season one. Boring. Real time gave the show a sense of urgency. Fox killed it off this season, and the urgency was dying anyway last season. In the UK/ireland we got the first six hours back to back. towards to the end of the 4th hour, you could hear the scraping of the bottom of barrell. I think Cromwell is a great actor. but a dad bad guy c'mon, sure he killed his own son but even that was poorly handled by the writers but I loved his put down to jack. "you turned your back on me to become what...a civil servanr". He vanished but the clumsy way the brought back Charles Logan. What was that. Fox should really end this show now.
Does Voldemort join the mile high club in the new film by TJ50	Mar 5th, 2007 05:35:07 AM
Now that'd be cool, since Ralph Fiennes is quite the wizard in that area.
Honestly by NudeandAroused	Mar 5th, 2007 06:26:41 AM
Is it me, or is this season a bit in the tedious side?
I resisted the invisotext! by chrth	Mar 5th, 2007 07:10:13 AM
And with that, I'll see y'all tomorrow!
24 is predictably consistent by The Selecter	Mar 5th, 2007 08:33:24 AM
but I'm avoiding the invisotext, too. I reeeeaallly hope that there are some genuine surprises in store, and less of the tedium like the past few weeks. TV needs strong scripted shows to offset the tide of reality/talent/game show crap. And I don't mean the CSI nor L&O franchise bores. Aside from that, I don't see how anybody can take Chad Lowe seriously as a villain when everybody knows he got his ass dumped by the Karate Kid 2.
Thanks, marcus torrance by CTU Mole	Mar 5th, 2007 09:38:19 AM
Now I can stop watching it. Douche. Who goes into a TB just to start some shit?
oh yea by ZO	Mar 5th, 2007 09:46:34 AM
actually cracking down on terrorists and threatening to hit them back hard and fast is "crazy right wing policies". too bad we didnt have those crazy policies in the 90's. we wouldnt be in world war 3 right now.
I still like 24 but... by veritasses	Mar 5th, 2007 10:01:38 AM
It's getting a bit too soapy even by 24's standards. Season One ranks as the best season because while it was still clearly a soap opera, the characters were better defined and the overall story and actions/motivations were far more believable. In contrast, the last few seasons have been more about the writer’s thinking “how can we top ourselves this time around and make things even more outrageous”. To be honest, this formula approach is lazy story telling and it’s starting to get out of control. So much so that it’s (in my opinion) hurting the overall quality of the show. They should also just get rid of the whole “real-time” element because that just doesn’t make sense anymore. They clearly have a lot of talent working behind the scenes so I’d like to see future season’s work more like a simple good old fashioned, quality, plausible, cat/mouse, spy vs spy, serialized action thriller. And they should stop killing off characters that we’ve come to love and have invested our times in just for the “shock” factor. It’d be better for them to keep strong characters around and create quality drama around those characters instead of creating some action and injecting “generic” characters into the action.
I resisted too. by CatVutt	Mar 5th, 2007 11:03:18 AM
In hopes of a few actual surprises myself. Bring on Aaron Pierce, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D!
Sigh... by biggles2_22	Mar 5th, 2007 11:18:30 AM
...You guys crack me up. 24 has had no choice but to devolve into the crazy soap opera that it has become! "Wow! I'm surprised that they've constantly felt the need to out-do themselves." Really? You're surprised? Give me a break. Yes, it's formulaic and it's definitely lost it's intelligence. But it's still pretty compelling and much better than most of the crap on TV. My major beef was with the fact that they could have broken formula and have had Jack escaping from a Chinese prison over a 24 hour period. Also, Powers Boothe? Way over the top, man. Now if this TB can just steer clear of the stupid political BS, I'll have considered this post a success. Stupid liberals. JUST KIDDING! IGNORE ME!
Stop the shark jumping! by ookla the mok	Mar 5th, 2007 11:39:01 AM
How about "24 has...pulled a Whoopi (Moonlighting), birthed a Winters (Mork&Mindy)...loving touched the face of his dead brother's widow who he secretly carried a torch for all these years despite the fact that we all thought his world revolved around his murdered wife (oh yeah, that's 24). Who else has one?
This blows! by PwnedByStallone	Mar 5th, 2007 01:53:18 PM
I can't even read this talkback with the next two episodes being spoiled.
Why has everyone left? by whatcokes	Mar 5th, 2007 02:48:31 PM
Hopefully 24 can regain its footing while Heroes is on hiatus. I really think FOX should consider moving it to Sundays next season. Heroes has won the ratings and buzz battle (it is the new, hot show afterall), and FOX knows 24 can do well on Sundays (the last 3 premiere have garnered huge ratings). We'll see. I'm sad that the 24 talkbacks aren't as fun as they used to be. No matter how shitty Lost gets, it at least still garners a lengthy discussion. 24 goes into one slump, and everyone abandons ship. Kinda ridiculous.
I thinkthe drop is to do with Herc putting the spoilers by Alonzo Mosely	Mar 5th, 2007 03:04:10 PM
in invisotext and people knowing that some knobend will post them in the TB... Sadly it is safer to just stay out these days...
Mr. Mcpoops & Ender by biggles2_22	Mar 5th, 2007 04:22:57 PM
Agreed on all counts and you can take THAT to the bank!
I don't believe those spoilers by CorpseRide	Mar 5th, 2007 05:15:22 PM
Chloe would NEVER take an innocent life, even if she WAS high on cocaine.
Milo = mole by CorpseRide	Mar 5th, 2007 05:55:48 PM
Would be the worst plot twist ever.
My Crazy Policy. by CorpseRide	Mar 5th, 2007 06:01:15 PM
I'm with USS Cygnus and his superb (some would say 'faultless') logic. I have a 7-year old daughter who was getting beaten up at school. So I formulated a policy - I locked her in the basement and told the school she had died. Call me a right-wing fruitbasket if you must, but I'm keeping her safe, dammit! My policy has kept her safe since 9/11, therefore I'm not crazy. Actually, that makes her 13 by now. Come to think of it, she stopped banging on the door a while back. Hope she's ok. PRAISE THE LORD!
Wow by NudeandAroused	Mar 5th, 2007 06:07:18 PM
Not very many talkbackers for tonite's episode. I hope it is good. Gotta tell you that this season has reminded me of the 3rd season. Not really good.
I don't like AD. by Pennsy	Mar 5th, 2007 06:19:09 PM
And you can quote me on that. ;)
AND YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT= FLAMES ON OPTIMUS by Pennsy	Mar 5th, 2007 06:26:26 PM
Or, the next 'gotta eat'? :D
Holy Crap by clockpolitiks	Mar 5th, 2007 08:15:22 PM
It's the MILF from Invasion. Nice!
Lennox is a badass by kyle051554	Mar 5th, 2007 08:16:21 PM
He just reamed those two assholes.
I can't figure Lennox(spoilers) by bib fortuna	Mar 5th, 2007 08:16:40 PM
First he uses blackmail to get someone out of his way but now he's Mr. high and mighty moralist, turning in the bad guys? It's like the writers changed the character after the first part of the season.
Re: Holy Crap by kyle051554	Mar 5th, 2007 08:18:28 PM
>>It's the MILF from Invasion! Nice! Really? I missed it. Is this the same chick that just had a guest role on "Studio 60"?
Season Finale by clockpolitiks	Mar 5th, 2007 08:23:55 PM
"Jack, there's a call from your nephew (snicker)." "Hello, Josh?" BAM!!! Captured by the Russians.
Kyle by clockpolitiks	Mar 5th, 2007 08:26:28 PM
Yea, the blonde chick who greeted the VP was the hybrid mom from invasion. I'm pretty sure. I haven't watched Studio 60 since November so I don't know about that.
Hey, it is that MILF! by kyle051554	Mar 5th, 2007 08:28:11 PM
HAWT.
bib fortuna, what? by CTU Mole	Mar 5th, 2007 08:30:09 PM
There's a subtle difference between blackmailing a loud bitch to get her to leave and assassinating a brother.
"Now you can't have any of my pot pie." by Pennsy	Mar 5th, 2007 08:56:37 PM
Malcolm McDowell kicks ass.
310-597-3781 by Phategod1	Mar 5th, 2007 08:57:08 PM
How many stupid Bastards are calling CTU right now?
Oops, wrong talkback... by Pennsy	Mar 5th, 2007 08:57:33 PM
Sorry.
Whoa! by kyle051554	Mar 5th, 2007 09:00:50 PM
Martha Logan and Agent Pierce!
Excellent Ep by Tocksick	Mar 5th, 2007 09:05:08 PM
That was by far the best episode in over a month. The Primary reason being the one and only David Fury (and I guess his writing partner deserves some credit too). He rocked almost every Buffy script he wrote and now he's bringing back the excitement to 24. The dialogue, the acting and the CRUNCHING fingers were all great. 24 has been going through the motions of earlier seasons recently but for the first time in a while I was actually SHOCKED. I really didn't expect him to cut off the consolate's finger, I thought he'd AT LEAST give him (and us) a warning. Way to go Jack! I'm keeping myself spoiler-free for next week's episode but supposedly its gonna be MASSIVE!
I won't lie by Jubs	Mar 5th, 2007 09:05:46 PM
I held onto my fingers when Jack snipped that fucker's finger off. The thought of losing my digits scares the shit out of me.
the best interrogation of the year by Phategod1	Mar 5th, 2007 09:10:36 PM
The first time Jack surpised me. he does it Once a year and this was it. Fine episode Now we the Silver Spoon Agent.
Previews by Jubs	Mar 5th, 2007 09:14:28 PM
For the first time in ages, I didn't watch the sneak preview for next week's episode, so please keep what you saw in the previews to a minimum. Herc implied that next week is going to be huge, and I want to be genuinely shocked here, so I skipped the previews.
Grizzly Logan by Oozer3993	Mar 5th, 2007 10:05:53 PM
"I've done quite a bit of it (lieing) myself. I know the signs." Bad ass episode. And I won't have to fret about missing Heroes for the next month (though that cliffhanger will eat away at me for that whole 6 weeks). (Spoilerish stuff comin up) [Spoilerish] Agent Pierce of S.H.I.E.L.D. is back! With any luck his kill count will be 1 at the very least by the end of next week (Grizzly Logan perhaps?). I'm not reading the spoilers so I don't know for sure.
Note to self... by REDD	Mar 5th, 2007 10:13:27 PM
Never smoke Cigars with Jack Bauer.
Chinese Consulate CHECK, Russian Consulate CHECK, Next? by wackybantha	Mar 5th, 2007 10:46:35 PM
.....Does CUBA have a Consulate here?
Much better this week by chrth	Mar 5th, 2007 10:46:52 PM
Also, Logan is an honorary TBer. He said the exact same thing we would say about Jack invading another Consulate. Good man, that Charles Logan! Only issue I have is the VP dealing so heavy-handedly with Lennox. We know he's not in Carson & Reed's Cabal, shouldn't he be a little more concerned that tptb could go after him next?
Solid episode... by mr_macphisto	Mar 5th, 2007 11:43:36 PM
...I kept waiting for Jack to wimp out with the Russian consul, like he did with Walt Cummings but then SNIP! Off goes his pinkie! Loved the scene where Lennox gave up the conspirators. Looks like President Tolliver's gonna fuck with Lennox regardless...provided neither of them are killed, of course. Good to see Karen back, too. And Morris and Chloe being useful and not fucking annoying! Solid, solid episode.
Hope you didn't miss Heroes again. T'was awesome. by Billyeveryteen	Mar 5th, 2007 11:50:47 PM
Doesn't matter, it's gone for seven weeks(!?!). What did I miss? Let me guess, Jack tortured someone.
Step in the right direction by Mogwai Democracy	Mar 6th, 2007 12:21:09 AM
Good solid episode. Much improved writing. First time I've felt we've moved out of predictable territory with the plot. With Palmer & his annoying sister out of the picture the GRAVITAS level has increased. wasn't quite expecting the SNIP!!! ...also love seeing Logan back in action! The man is smooth. Hopefully they'll keep him around for a bit. I'm staying away from the spoilers & I don't watch the next week previews anymore either & am much happier for it. I'm thinking David Fury should be writing all of the episodes this season.
A question for all: by Mogwai Democracy	Mar 6th, 2007 12:33:46 AM
Does anyone else think that the spoilers should be kept separate from the general episode talkbacks? I mean in a separate page entirely, not just contained within the invisotext. I was afraid to come in here for fear of being "spoiled" and judging by the lack of traffic, I fear others may be avoiding this place for the same reason. ...or else people are just sick of 24?
Better, but... by The Selecter	Mar 6th, 2007 04:18:43 AM
still not good. At least next week's episode looks good.
HOLY SADDLEBAGS PRESIDENT LOGAN! by jimbojones123	Mar 6th, 2007 06:49:35 AM
Wow, I found my self looking for the bags under everybody elses eyes for the rest of the episode. OH, and was Agent Pierce wearing a sweater, he looked very distinguished. I have a feeling it will be very much like K from MIB2. He will have settled down and be brought back to his former kickhiney glory.
HOLY SADDLEBAGS PRESIDENT LOGAN! by jimbojones123	Mar 6th, 2007 06:50:32 AM

what I learned for this episode: by just pillow talk	Mar 6th, 2007 07:48:20 AM
When making an EXTREMELY important calls on your cell phone, (1) do not walk towards the door where all the bad Russians are behind and (2) when making a super secret call to CTU (especially if you are Russian security), do not walk out of a room with the door already closed. Do not walk down the hall and into the room without closing the door behind you. Next episode does look like it's chock full of action though...
The return of Curtis and invisotext. by fireclown	Mar 6th, 2007 07:51:51 AM
The invosotext is a problem in that it's hard not to talk about it. I don't hold it against FLOOFNANNY for mentioning next weeks spoilers, but I wish he wouldn't.
Lennox- no longer annoying by jtp8000	Mar 6th, 2007 08:49:57 AM
Anyone who pulls what he did is okay in my book. "I'm with you, don't worry guys I'm with you 100%. We will blame Assad oh and Secret Service Agent 1 -Arrest them , Chad Lowe and this other guy tried to kill the President" (Turns to Chad Lowe) "That's why your wife left you, you're an idiot".
wow 24 talkbacks have shrunk by BLWiseass	Mar 6th, 2007 09:08:10 AM
I still enjoy the show, but can't help but feel like its on its last legs
Jack has finally gone too far. by SPECTRE Agent	Mar 6th, 2007 09:25:50 AM
Fire him already. And CTU storming the consulate! That means war unless Jack is prepared too spend the next few years in a Siberian gulag.
Weed Bollock by emeraldboy	Mar 6th, 2007 09:52:58 AM
Should not have done what he did and now he got his ass kicked. Jack, tom lennox and the buchanans will come together and bring down Philip bauer, gerdenco and That evil VP Noah daniels. Wayne Palmers sister disappeared pretty quick and thank god.
Personal opinion regarding spoilers: by kyle051554	Mar 6th, 2007 10:14:41 AM
I think that anything from the preview for next week's episode, as well as anything from the commercials for next week's episode, is fair game. That said, any information obtained outside of those two mediums should be kept outta here.
Palmers sister wrecked the first few episodes. by Knobules	Mar 6th, 2007 10:28:21 AM
This season would have been far better without that screaming rhino who has now vanished.
while that would have improved the show Knobules by just pillow talk	Mar 6th, 2007 10:34:54 AM
they probably would have replaced it with another bullshit side story. There still hasn't been a complete show for me this season. When I now watch the show, it feels like an obligation to watch as opposed to the giddiness I feel when watching Heroes. So sad. On the plus side, I like what they are doing with Lennox.
Last season the producers raided by skimn	Mar 6th, 2007 11:06:25 AM
Robocop for guest stars, this season bring in from Starship Troopers, Mr. Splinter Cell himself Michael Ironside, and the owner of the Krusty Krab, Clancy Brown. Hell throw in that crazy Busey kid too.
Palmer's SoD=Bob Gunton by Darth_Gonz	Mar 6th, 2007 11:32:50 AM
Otherwise known as San Angeles Chief of Police George Earle, from "Demolition Man". I KNEW that face was familiar....
Darth_Gonz: Dude, he's the Warden from Shawshank! by chrth	Mar 6th, 2007 11:48:24 AM
Also, the Russian guy that pulled the trigger at the end of the ep was in charge of the nuclear reactor in Hunt for Red October.
The Russian guy... by Mr_Boombista	Mar 6th, 2007 12:29:34 PM
was also in the Italian Job, I think...
Not Bad by _Maltheus_	Mar 6th, 2007 12:47:39 PM
Decent ep, but why did Jack, after getting the information from Gradenko, proceed to walk out the door into the hands of the people who want to stick him in a gulag, instead of calling CTU on his phone like he did before? Seems a pretty important piece of info and he totally blew it. Not that I would trust that intel in real life, the diplomat only had to lie to cover his ass for the time it took to resecure the embassy (kind of the problem with the whole torture premise on this show). Also, who was that guy who shot the other at the end? Is he new?
still a brilliant show by Evil Hobbit	Mar 6th, 2007 01:02:59 PM
love the politics
True, Season 4 had BAD subplot by Knobules	Mar 6th, 2007 01:05:46 PM
Corkys mom runs CTU. She has a nutso daughter in CTU infirmary. bla bla bla. Who cares? Where is JACK!?
Does Buchanan do anything not boring? by jimbojones123	Mar 6th, 2007 01:27:00 PM
Um, we can't sanction this Jack. WHERE IS CHAPPELL WHEN YOU NEED HIM? Or even Bill's wife to say, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU THINKING JACK?
yes, and at least with the Hobbit and his sister by just pillow talk	Mar 6th, 2007 01:30:19 PM
last year, there was a point to it. If I'm not mistaken Maltheus, they showed him in the embassy when Jack and Logan arrived.
it would have been better by just pillow talk	Mar 6th, 2007 01:45:06 PM
if, in the clip, Pierce yelled:"Take that bitch!" I think it's because she doesn't approved of the grizzly adams look...
"She and Tom Lennox are gonna team-up " by chrth	Mar 6th, 2007 03:35:50 PM

the Geico Cavemen Show talkback.
This shows needs to be TV-M by Jubs	Mar 6th, 2007 07:09:08 PM
How awesome would it be if "fuck" was thrown around liberally on this show? Just imagine for a sec: VP to Tom Lennox: "That motherfucker Assad tried to assassinate our president! FUCK HIM!" Or Jack randomly screaming out, "What the fuck?!"
Dmitri Gredenko=Boris.... by Darth_Gonz	Mar 6th, 2007 08:16:36 PM
...the sneaky fucking Russian from Snatch. "YOU FOOLS! HE CANNOT KNOW MY NAME!"
I'm pretty sure 24 is now just for you Yack by just pillow talk	Mar 7th, 2007 06:34:59 AM
I can't believe the highlight of this season will be the "nut throwing incident". And I am not going to acknowledge that team-up you just mentioned.
is that really true? by just pillow talk	Mar 7th, 2007 06:36:06 AM
Geico Caveman beat out this TB? No matter how far this show's quality has fallen, that's crazy. Crazy I tell you!
who knew that this season's success by just pillow talk	Mar 7th, 2007 10:46:30 AM
would depend upon a little peanut! Perhaps the mastermind behind everything in the 24 universe should be the Gieco caveman.

FDR was a Dem. FUCKWAD Communists for Kerry by nicatron	Mar 8th, 2007 03:44:57 PM
I love the left wing slant in all of Hercules' posts. 1st Joel Surnow never tries to make Bush look good. He does agree with some of his policies. The internment camps were set up by Mr. New Deal FDR (a Democrat, like Robert "KKK" Byrd.) Most Japanese were rounded up. The small amount of people in GITMO are people caught on the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan. There were just a few taken from America. I do think they need to be processed and tried but I would rather have them in there than on the streets. I'm sure if Hillary wins the election in 08, she will find a way to silence or imprison any one who stands in the way of her agenda (Vince Foster, Norm McDonald, hell even Mike Meyers with the Chelsea skit.) In her Socialized medicine proposal bak in the 90's she was going to make it a crime to seek paid medical treatment outside the system. Socialists would be more likely to create internment camps (re-education camps) than Republicans.
love your broad sweeps of generalism nicatron by just pillow talk	Mar 9th, 2007 06:33:32 AM
How do you know who was taken to GITMO? If there was more than "a few taken from America", would that make it more wrong? I do agree with you on Hillary though, she scares the crap outta me. I usually vote for Democrat, but I will NOT vote for that crazy bitch. I do not know what I will do if she gets the nomination and Rudy gets the Republican one. Talk about a waste...
Spoilers!!!! DAMMIT!!! by arri18k	Mar 11th, 2007 03:36:29 PM
IF the fucking cocknockers stop revealing next weeks spoilers then this talkback will thrive like it did last season. Tonights episode was one of the best of the last 5 seasons, just brilliant... STOP REVEALING NEXT WEEKS SPOILERS!!! Im talking to you also, Herc. I dont give a shit if its in invisotext. The morons on here will still reveal it in what used to be one of the best and funniest talkbacks on here.
