So why is Iran being referenced? by HellKing	Apr 9th, 2007 02:57:19 AM
Unless I missed something, I've never heard Iran being referred to. It's a nameless Arab country. The only country this sounds like is Saudi Arabia. Plus Iranians aren't Arabs. Fayed is Arabic. Fayed is suppose to be from this country.

"President Palmer makes a bold gambit" by newc0253	Apr 9th, 2007 03:13:24 AM
i tried to make a gambit once, but it turned out i'd read the directions wrong.

POWERS F'N BOOTHE by Shermdawg	Apr 9th, 2007 05:01:24 AM
He's the only reason I continue to watch this crap. Too bad Devane's not part of the cast this season, I'd like to see those two square off. But, of course, the show couldn't handle that much awesomeness. logs out
OK, I'm not reading the spoilers this week, but... by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 9th, 2007 05:40:14 AM
...that is a really BIG spoiler space. Must be a lot of crap going down in this episode. Good thing too, cause WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME FOR THIS SEASON TO GET GOOD! DAMMIT!
To TESF & co: 24 has 2 weeks left to right the ship. by Pennsy	Apr 9th, 2007 06:24:35 AM
Because two weeks from tonight, Heroes returns. And those who are watching 24 now only to see how much of a train wreck the defending Emmy winner for best drama series has become will flock to see (for starters) Peter v. Sylar, a guy who has more GRAVITAS! than Jack has shown this season (McDowell as Linderman) and the fate of HRG Guy, among others. 24 has squandered the opportunity to match the high of the first four hours, and no other plot point emphasizes how much the show has fallen than Wayne Palmer, after 3 episodes of resisting nuking Unnamed MidEast Country, only to change his mind because basically, the Veep called him a pussy.
I think all the character should be induced into a coma by just pillow talk	Apr 9th, 2007 07:06:27 AM
maybe when they wake up they'll be more interesting. 2 more weeks until Heroes? Thank you Easter bunny!

What's there to spoil? SPOILER by wetzello	Apr 9th, 2007 08:18:41 AM
Anyone who couldn't piece together that the missile heading Iran's/Nameless Arab Nation's way doesn't realize how 24 writers continue to write themselves into a corner and use a last-ditch effort to try and make it respectable again. I'm a pretty big 24 fan, but that's just pathetic. being suckered in to more 24 tonight anyway
Ten bucks says... by Darth_Gonz	Apr 9th, 2007 08:46:55 AM
....David Palmer shows up at the White House bunker and uses the 25th Amendment to challenge Wayne's claim on the Presidency.
Can we lose Hume and the fucking spoilers already... by Alonzo Mosely	Apr 9th, 2007 08:49:18 AM
All it means is less hits and less posts and therefore less money for Herc... Anyway, I'll be back after the episode so as not to spoil what little enjoyment I can eek out of this season...
They're not writing themselves into a corner by I Dunno	Apr 9th, 2007 08:50:33 AM
The very nature of the show and the way it's filmed and aired with little interruption means they have to pretty much everything mapped out from the beginning. It's not like Lost where they can stall us with a filler episode. From season one and Terri getting amnesia for an hour there have always been goofy bits in the show but when you consider the throwaway episodes in every other show, it's not that bad. And I doubt that they write one episode and suddenly panic about what to do in the next.
whatever by Shakes	Apr 9th, 2007 08:53:56 AM
Okay, season 5 was the first season I started watching as it aired on tv. I'm catching up on Season 4 in syndication now and I realize something. Season 4 started off with Jack working for DOD and the buildup before hand I'm sure had people thinking whoa, how are they going to get him back in action. Then Season 5 comes along, he's faked his death living under an assumed name, and you think whoa, how are they going to get him back in action. Then Season 6 comes along, he's in a Chinese prison, and again you think whoa, how are they going to get him back. And each time by the end of hour two's he's got a cell phone and a gun is once again working as a CTU operative. It's like what's the point in even having these big season ending cliffhangers if by the second ep. of the next season it's going to be Jack tracking down a lead by episode two again. As I said I haven't seen seasons two three or most of 4 so most of this stuff is fresh for me and i enjoy the show, but I'm just noticing this laziness on their part. In a previous talkback someone said Jack should find out our gov. left Audrey for dead and so he shoots the President at the end of the season and becomes a fugitive so season 7 could be him on the run, but in reality we all know it'd just end up with him back working for CTU again anyway. Sure they'd have some distrust towards him from those working there at first, but by hour 6 that would be gone and it'd be back to the "whatever you need Jack" stuff we've seen all along.
Shakes. The first few seasons were golden by Knobules	Apr 9th, 2007 09:37:26 AM
The last couple have been repetetive. Early on though 24 was running on jet fuel. Checkout the early glory days. Not the slapped together bs they have goin now
It's not really a spoiler if it's by veritasses	Apr 9th, 2007 09:50:21 AM
predictable. Let this be a lesson learned for all those creative folks on how hard and how fast a good show can nose dive into the crap bucket. They really need to reboot that whole show, esp the writers, for next season. Bauer as a fugitive might work. Build up his adversary the entire season to be Jack's equal and have a super hero style mega good vs evil showdown, chess match, man hunt at the end of the season. The whole "stop the threat of the day" crap has been milked for all it's worth. Time to get back to the basics of good (not necessarily action filled) drama.
What's the new Harry animated GIF? by SantiagoAtez	Apr 9th, 2007 09:58:54 AM
Tied up in a...care (?) in the water or on fire.....i can't tell. What is this a reference, too? And speaking of the AICN animated Harrys, what was the black and white one that looked like he was some type of troll? Obviously, I'm not too good on the AICN movie reference list...
CSI Miami is more believeable then this crap! Horachio by kinghenryVIII	Apr 9th, 2007 10:32:20 AM

Shakes Checkout Season 2, Seriously by The Ender Smites Foes	Apr 9th, 2007 11:34:57 AM
It's my personal favourite. It does have Jack having to come out of his downer to get back into action, but it WAS the first season to do that...and man let me tell you. It is fucking amazing. The Season Finale of Season 2 is one of the best ever. The hand to hadn fight is fucking Killer! Literally. And dude, I go through what Jack goes through everytime I have to run 2 miles carrying 60 pound dumb bells. I'm like...why the fuck am I doing this. Then I'm like, I BETTER GET BACK INTO THE FUCKING ACTION! It really does work that way. Do you follow me? I have no idea what in Christs name I'm talking about. Fuck it. Just watch Season 2 Brah!

If you notice, its the cell phones that bring Jack back. Nextel has a chip in his head. At the end of this season we will find out that the arch nemesis is Carmen Sandiego. Next year Jack will travel around the globe looking for her. He will get geographical clues from informants and CTU. "Dammit! Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? Only to find out at the end of the season Waldo was behind what was behind it all. "Dammit! Where's WALDO!" After that it only gets better........... He teams up Dora and The Wonder Pets.
BillyPilgrim by Mr. Mcpoops	Apr 9th, 2007 01:23:25 PM

Agreed with Monkeypoops (or whatever the fuck yer name is), watch a few classics from time to time you twits. We should dig Robby Mitchum up and make him a villain on this show. He'd be scraping bits o' Jack off of his shoe by hour two. Biggles2_22 out.
Time stretching by pinkfloyd2000	Apr 9th, 2007 01:56:25 PM
This season's time-stretching is so far-fetched, it's intruding on the enjoyability of the show -- which, I might add, is far, far less than last season. This season, to put it frankly, sucks the balls off an Arcturan Mega-Donkey. Here's two prime examples: 1. The helicopter that Bauer & Charles Logan took from CTU (or wherever) to Martha Logan's house. One minute, they show Bauer at CTU. Less than 5 minutes later, according to the 24 clock, they are at Martha's front door. Err...yeah. 2. The preparation of the emergency legal briefs to the Supreme Court: I think that Pres. Logan's sister had her entire document researched and typed up, in its final form, in about 4-5 minutes. Ah hmmm... And, uh...last season's best character, and IMO 95% of why last season was so intriguing, Charles Logan...nice job bringing him back in, but then ya stab him and don't reveal what the fuck happened to him. Going on, what, 5 or 6 episodes now with our dicks flapping in the wind? I'm more psyched for the season premiere of "Little People, Big World" than I am for tonight's 24.

OF COURSE, it's a fake nuke. OF COURSE. These producers are GUTLESS.I want some nuclear weapons detonated over enemy territory. "150 Kilotons" means never having to say you're sorry, babe. I'm Bill Strannix with his feet propped up singing Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner" in the CIC of the Missouri in "Under Siege". Could you even IMAGINE next season (if there is one) set during World War III? Orgasmic television, I tell ya.
"THE EYE SHITTER HATH COME" post... by Pennsy	Apr 9th, 2007 04:32:53 PM

24's biggest crime this season... by Somerichs	Apr 9th, 2007 05:09:17 PM
Was making Aaron Pierce--arguably a bigger badass than even Jack Bauer himself--crazy-ass Martha Logan's bitch and errand boy with a really smart sweater and pant set. Talk about sad and pathetic, that's an even worse send-off than Soul-patch Tony's demise. They should have had the silent countdown at the end of that episode for Agent Pierce. I'll probably have to wait until the DVD comes out to double-check it, but i'm pretty sure i saw his balls in a mason jar on a shelf by the kitchen. As much ass as he's kicked over the last few seasons, that was a truly depressing turn of events. Would have been one thing if he was shacked up with some hot broad; i'd even have believed it if Martha wasn't an alcoholic nutjob and they were traveling the world together having hot monkey sex and laughing at Charles Logan. I only hope we find out at the end of the season that the whole thing was some kind of deep cover assignment so he could keep tabs on the Russian President's wife or something...Jesus wept.
Yes, Fuck Hume, indeed. by eppdude	Apr 9th, 2007 05:34:34 PM

24's biggest crime this season by Mr. Mcpoops	Apr 9th, 2007 07:38:17 PM
has been the diminishing screen time of one Jack Bauer. Isn't this supposed to be the Jack Bauer power hour? It's been more like the Jack Bauer barely does shit no power 1/10 of an hour the last few weeks. I hardly even expect him to show up in tonight's episode.
hopefully spoilers by Mastashake	Apr 9th, 2007 08:00:34 PM

The last ten or so minutes of this episode may have saved the season. The writers, producers, and directors finally listened and gave us what we wanted: Jack gunning fuckers down and killing terrorist masterminds with style. If only Habib Marwan (season 4) met such an awesome end.

Not Enough by NudeandAroused	Apr 9th, 2007 09:07:18 PM
This is a gimic. Nothing new here at all. You can already see where Jack will defy CTU, The Prez, and be hunted by all. Not like that hasn't been done before! Last season rocked with the best characters the show has seen. Even the typical 24 plot twist, along with Jack's "go it alone" tradition, will not save the season.

this show is good when baur gets to kick ass... some reason they were barely showing him i was kinda thinking maybe all good writers and the good directors and sutherland where making a secret movie based in past with david,tony,michele,sherri,nina , terry, and dad baur and brother baur... because the show before this episode just seemed different... maybe im right and there annocing great movie has been made behind doors and will be relesed in dec 07

DAMN, JACK! Best episode of the season... by turketron	Apr 9th, 2007 09:40:08 PM
Yep. And quite possibly ranks up there with the top episodes of 24 of all time. That was a legendary fight with Fayed, and I loved the boss-death and one-liner from Jack. Cool twist at the end too. Excellent episode, fucking nuts!
The Chinese Should Thank Jack by jocutus	Apr 9th, 2007 09:40:15 PM
If he hadn't invaded their embassy while they were stonewalling and protecting a terrorism suspect the whole place and all the embassy staff and guards would have been destroyed by Marwan's nuke, right? One consul was a small price to pay! Maybe they've finally come to their senses and are trying to lure Jack to an overly-elaborate surprise party in his honor.

Smart Move... by cdubbs727	Apr 9th, 2007 10:06:47 PM
I agree with those who say the final five minutes of the episode may have saved a thoroughly mediocre season. The fight with Fayed was one of the best in the show's history and I'm definitely hoping Jack's drive to save Audrey and get revenge on those Chinese SOBs will fuel the last few episodes. Here's a question, though. Does anyone remember the EW cover story on 24 back a few months ago? They described this fight between Jack and Fayed but said it happened in episode 19 and that the episode began with someone with the last name of "Bauer" dying. Wasn't this episode 17? My thought is that the writers caught on that this season was headed down the toilet and did some quick rewriting, moving the confrontation with Jack and Fayed up to this episode so we can get onto the final episodes, which could salavage the season.

I Never Thought I'd Be Glad to See Audrey, But... by bobbyjoe	Apr 9th, 2007 11:28:32 PM
The dumb repetitive "suitcase nukes" story is over, and the boring villains are dead. Thank Merciful God. Next week's episode is the first that actually looks watchable after a long stretch. Let's hope they live up to it.

Sorry to tell you.. Jack doesn't get to kill Cheng. by HellKing	Apr 9th, 2007 11:54:13 PM
Cheng doesn't give Jack the privilege. I've seen the spoilers to the end. BTW, some of you guys are crazy. This is a TV show not real life. You've got so much hate for things that don't happen in reality.
This week didn't suck nearly as much... by Pdorwick	Apr 9th, 2007 11:55:59 PM
It took 17 episodes but we finally get a half-decent hour of TV out of 24. ...although bringing the Chinese back almost guarantees the rest of the season will be heading straight down the tubes. Still, we do have that one hour.

SWEET MERCIFUL JACK by Kurzinski Valentine	Apr 10th, 2007 12:02:19 AM
I actually, genuinely, 100% honestly shed a tear watching Jack kill that entire squad of terrorists, say "say hello to your brother" to that chain-choked asswipe, and then walk away as Ricky Schroeder says "daaaaaymn JACK". Holy hell. Insanity. JACK IS BACK EVEN WITHOUT THE SACK.

So was Audrey cloned? by HellKing	Apr 10th, 2007 12:20:42 AM
This season has a lot of holes in it. We saw "Audrey's" body in the pictures. The US didn't get a body back to be examined? She was afterall a high level government official. And what's ahead is more absurdity on top of more absurdity. The producers fumbled this season. The worst season so far. More than Season 3.
we are all so wrapped up in the last 5 minutes.. by Cotton McKnight	Apr 10th, 2007 12:22:16 AM
Nobody has mentioned the fact that Jack rode underneath a garbage truck with a.. what do you call that thing? an axlerod?.. well it was about 2 freaking inches from his face. Indiana Jones couldnt have done that any better.
and really, the whole dang episode was good. by Cotton McKnight	Apr 10th, 2007 12:25:18 AM
Wayne Palmer FINALLY showing some guts.. that was a hell of a bluff he had there. I seriously doubt David would have ever done something like that.. and you kind of start to see flashes of Wayne's old personality there to boot. Remember, he was introduced to us back in day 4 I think as a guy with a few tricks up his sleeve.
Hellking.. by Cotton McKnight	Apr 10th, 2007 12:30:22 AM
Is it that hard to believe? First of all, Audrey went over there on her own. She wasnt sanctioned by the US government at ALL. Secondly, does America really want to open up that can of worms again? They basically have Jack dead to rights- he was identified as having invaded their embassy. The diplomatic fallout from that would be crazy. Yes, (even though you didnt bring it up), Secretary Heller would have probably raised Hell about it, but he knows the game as well as the rest of us out here in tv land. When Audrey chose to do that, she was on her own. And the whole point of that "charred body" was just that- it was charred beyond recognition, leaving some doubt. This is the kind of stuff i'm talking about.. its like people are really LOOKING for something to nitpick. It drives me crazy. Oh and no, they wouldnt have gotten a body back for the reasons I laid out above.

How nice of Cheng to wait until Jack..... by Neo Zeed	Apr 10th, 2007 12:40:24 AM
kicked Fayed 's ass, before calling him. What timing!
Reasons why this episode KICKED ASS!! by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 10th, 2007 12:43:23 AM
1. Plot twists & turns, like 30 of them! Seriously kept you guessing. 2. Jack was actually in this episode for more than 5 minutes!!! 3. Jack opening a can of WHUP-ASS on the terrorists & doing it solo. 4. hand-to-hand combat!! 5. "Say hello to your brother." URKKK!!! 6. "Damn Jack!" 7. AUDREY !!! 8. CHENG !!! Now THAT'S 24! Is one episode enough to redeem this entire season? Probably not. But if they can keep up the momentum & the quality of this episode for the rest of the season, then they just might turn it all around. Welcome back, GRAVITAS!
Jack's Back! Buy Ciabatta! by AshesOfDonnie	Apr 10th, 2007 12:49:49 AM
Damn, what an 180 degree turn here. no more Fayed, no more nukes, no more Kumar, no more Boris the Blade, no more Rollo Tomasi. now we get the yellow threat. bring on the ching chong chinamen.Jack's got his laundry ready!
I love it by EdRyder	Apr 10th, 2007 12:50:13 AM
Of course theres moments when you say"bullshit!"but its fiction man!That time Chloe hacked into the Malls security cameras..the mall puts the cams on the internet wtf??Or in this seasons first episode..You think the government would launch missles at a house not knowing who lived there or if people were even inside?Coulda been Aunt Mays fuckin house!I really dont need geektalk about 24 "Im sorry but Inverse Tachyon Pulses dont work that way my friend"Shutup Data! Im so pleased with this episode ,the whole season has been really clunky but this ONE episode made up for it all..From the get go I thought they squandered a great opportunity with the aftermath of the Chinese.I was certain this entire season was going to be CTU free and deal with Jack escaping from China,but it didnt turn out that way at all.I hope William Devane comes back now,Hellar is the man.I give a fuck about Audrey
Also, gotta give respect... by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 10th, 2007 12:56:00 AM
... to Wayne "DEEZ NUTZ" Palmer. His character was grating on me all season but they fixed that this episode when he finally grew a pair. I guess I'll start to love the guy just in time for him to burst a blood vessel in his brain & drop dead in one of the final episodes. I really get the feeling this guy doesn't have too much longer to go.
So that was it? by The Selecter	Apr 10th, 2007 05:08:54 AM
I'll grant that this episode had what the previous 16 lacked, classic 24 action. Why couldn't they have done this all along? Still, it was merely an OK resolution to a lame arc. Where's Papa Bauer? Hell, I think Hawkins' fight scene in Jericho was better, and that show sucks on a higher level. And, he was fighting a girl! As far as I'm concerned, if this last run turns out to be Ok, season 6 ought to be know as "7" not 24. But then again, we've seen Rogue Jack before, so the potential for suckiness is still very much there. Milo is still an idiot, as is Mo', and the quiet relationship interludes are cringe worthy.
"Damn, Jack!" Indeed, Ricky, indeed... by Zardoz	Apr 10th, 2007 05:32:50 AM
Well, shut my mouth! All is forgiven, Mea Culpa, etc. Great episode with an excellent cliffhanger for next week. BTW, I totally KNEW Audrey wasn't dead; no way her death was gonna be off-screen and anecdotal. So, do the Chinese REALLY think Jack's going to start WW3 for a skirt? I mean, you torture a guy for two years and he doesn't talk but you still think Jack's gonna turn? Anyway, really great episode and kudos to all involved, especially Mr. Sutherland for proving once again why ol' JB is STILL the baddest bad-ass on TV...
Good Season? by NudeandAroused	Apr 10th, 2007 06:09:49 AM
No, not really. Everything, with the exception of Audrey, that you have seen this year has been done before. They get rid of Fayed because they know that the story was going nowhere. That is not a good season, nor is it at all creative. It started out strong, but then became a formula. If you disagree, notice that the trailer for next week shows that Jack will "go it alone" again.
Pennsy: Fayeds, if only for that line... by Wldmk	Apr 10th, 2007 06:25:28 AM
"Say hello to your brother" indeed, and on that note: MAN, am I glad i didn't highlight the spoilers this time around!!!! Woke up and played the Ep recording (i always miss the actual broadcast) and this episode certainly made up for the mediocreness of the last few. My only nitpick is that Jack didn't contact CTU after arriving under the truck, given that no-one else knew where they were and woudn't be able to do anything if something happened like Jack getting caught, which i feared would happen in the end (and which i'm guessing was something the folks in charge of the show were banking on somehos) and which made the Jack Bauer Hostile Slaughter all the more great - as Ricky said, "Damn, Jack" indeed...
Say Hello... by Tripman5000	Apr 10th, 2007 07:13:41 AM
Wasn`t that line AND fight ripped directly from Die Hard?? This ep kicked arse!!
as far as I'm concerned... by just pillow talk	Apr 10th, 2007 07:33:58 AM
This year's season started last night. In that case, this season is off to a great start! Really love the fact that Jack was finally being Jack (not realistic after what he went through, Chinese prison, yada-yada-yada...). Screw it. It finally had some action, only one really stupid CTU soap opera spot, Wayne about ready to croak yet willing himself to remain standing while the ambassador left, and yes, it's time for Jack to "go it alone". Guess what? That's the best part. They "owe him" anyways. Let's hope Jack shoots Ricky in the neck too!

Really, I can think of about 30-40 generic guys that could have been better at that part. It was like the crappy Fat Hobbit casting last year. And no, the "Damn Jack" didn't redeem him.
Chinese the new Bluetooth Group/Steven Saunders by jimbojones123	Apr 10th, 2007 08:18:20 AM
Are they the puppet masters of the whole season? Or more? Was Audry really what America gave up to get Jack back? Was the whole "months ago" thing just another part of what the US had to do to get Jack? Oh, and the Suitcase Nuke thing ain't over yet. That's what Jack is bringing to the Chinese. He has to steal them and that's where the Spoonie standoff takes place. Did the Chinese start the whole thing just to get the suitcase nukes? So after going all Lefty the whole season on the arab front, the producers now say they were behind what was going on the whole time -- even crazier, they are now saying -- THE CHINESE ARE EVIL -- DOWN W/THE SLANT EYES! Weird????

"He's hung up for a while." "That's a real cliffhanger." "He's stretching." "He's got a crick in his neck." "He had to stretch." "Oh, I dropped him off." "He dropped out." "He's got a bad hangup in there." "I hung up on him." "Uh, you ever see the end of "An Officer and A Gentleman"? "Brooks was here. So Was Red." "MENDOZAAAAAAA!!"
Great Episode, one Gripe: by Ricky Henderson	Apr 10th, 2007 08:39:06 AM

Best episode since the beginning. by PwnedByStallone	Apr 10th, 2007 08:47:56 AM
I've enjoyed the season throughout more than a lot of you but this episode was definitely back to ass-kicking form. A plot twist (fake Habib cell) that you didn't see coming 20 min. in advance. Palmer growing a set and doing something cool. Jack screaming "Dammit!" from under a moving garbage truck. Fayed/Jack hand to hand combat that was intense and looked real for once. Spoonie looking at Jack's handywork and saying "Damn, Jack." The Chinese returning and promisign the season will wrap up with Jack kicking ass. Hell, even Morris made me laugh when he interrupted Milo and Nadia. The only thing this episode lacked was Chloe gunning down terrorists with a machine gun leg while Zombie Tony looked on saying "Damn, Chloe." GREAT EPISODE! 24 IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This episode definitely does not redeem the season by Pdorwick	Apr 10th, 2007 08:56:13 AM
...a season this shitty, 17 episodes in, is basically unredeemable. Let's just hope next year we get at least a half year of watchable episodes instead on just one.

FUCK YOU PDORWICK! What a joyless little bitch you continue to be?! Does anything satisfy you? You could be watching the best episodes of 24, Lost, BSG, and Heroes at the same time while receiving a dual blow job from a naked Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson while Jessica Alba licks your asshole while Jessica Simpson feeds you filet mignon from her tits, and you would still say "Meh."
Anyone else notice... by Mindworm22	Apr 10th, 2007 09:14:33 AM

while it doesn't redeem the whole season by just pillow talk	Apr 10th, 2007 09:55:33 AM
just ignore what transpired before and enjoy the episode for what it was. What transpired really wasn't that different from other seasons in terms of believability. Again, Jack fucked up the bad guys real good and that's counts for something. The episode focused on the action, not on bullshit side stories for the most part. I'm actually looking forward to next week.
"that" counts by just pillow talk	Apr 10th, 2007 09:56:27 AM

Best Part of the whole season was by Mr. Mcpoops	Apr 10th, 2007 10:06:16 AM
When Fayed threw the empty gun at Jack. I was cracking up because it reminded me of the Naked Gun.
Mindworm22: I'm sure they found Gredenko's body under by chrth	Apr 10th, 2007 10:30:40 AM
the pier. He was just at the waterline to (presumably) obscure his footprints. But there's no reason to believe that it his body would be dragged by the tide (for all we know it was receding).
Good, But... by _Maltheus_	Apr 10th, 2007 10:36:09 AM
...I couldn't stand that Jack finally found the nukes (that were about to be detonated) and instead of calling CTU, he decided to take on a bunch of machine gun wielding terrorists with a fuckin' 9. I know he's "badass" and all, and I know it all worked out for the best. But the odds were clearly against him. Why would he risk millions of lives for the sake of his ego. What a fuckwad! Make a quick call so they can grab your GPS coordinates and then rush in alone if you must. Also, I agree that prepping and deploying a team of Arabic speaking agents in a matter of a few minutes was kind of ludicrous. And Habib's "code" was as well. Unless it was an improvised code, it wasn't very clever and certainly not designed well enough to fool any intelligence agents. Still, I was enjoying this one more than the rest of the season. And it kind of kicks off a new mini-season, that should be more entertaining than the last. Don't these Chinese have any dissidents to persecute? Geez. Maybe they can have Martha place a call.

Lousy Season Great Episode by Knobules	Apr 10th, 2007 10:38:36 AM

I call firsties on predicting Audrey being alive, unless the damn Chino's have figured out a way to cross humans with horses. (just saying...she is a little long in the face) Now bring back William F-ing Devane and we'll be all set. I'm still pissed they didn't do a whole season of Jack escaping from China, but maybe they heard me and will be doing this next season. It's OK Fox, no thanks necessary.

Watch out for Chinese Guy by jimbojones123	Apr 10th, 2007 12:20:41 PM
He's still on China Time... So while everybody has been going crazy all day long -- he's been sleeping. He will be wide awake when it is time to face off with a very tired CTU and Jack Bauer. He didn't call Jack earlier because his alarm just went off an hour ago. Did Audry look like she had been in custody for months? I watched it again -- She may have been the trade bait for Jack.
So is Bai Ling going to be in this? by ElPaw	Apr 10th, 2007 12:30:32 PM

Hey Jimbo.. by Darth_Gonz	Apr 10th, 2007 12:31:32 PM
I don't think Cheng is on China Time. In fact, I don't even think he's in China. Why else would Jack ask the President to order a rescue mission? The US wouldn't send soliders into China to rescue one DoD employee no matter what, and Jack knows that.

"DAMMIT!" stats: 12 = Bauer. 12 = Others. 24 = Total by TallBoy66	Apr 10th, 2007 01:23:04 PM
So we're offically at a 1 "DAMMIT!" per episode average, and Jack's count has been slowly evening out with everybody else's. He just needs one more to put him in the lead compared to Everybody Else On The Freakin Show. Also, this episode ruled, David Fury can kick the crap out of an episode if he wants too.

Way to go, 24. by DarthCorleone	Apr 10th, 2007 01:42:21 PM
Everything I was going to say has already been said. Fun episode - somewhat redeemed the season. I hope they can keep up that momentum for the home stretch. They got me with the Wayne twist. I agree that "dammit" while hanging from the bottom of the truck might have been the best "dammit" ever. The fight scene was outstanding.
jocutus & Maltheus... by DarthCorleone	Apr 10th, 2007 01:46:20 PM
Thanks, guys. Both your posts made me laugh out loud. jocutus, yours reminded me of that episode of Buck Rogers where the evil plot is all just a trick for Buck's surprise birthday party. Maltheus, the linguist and hacking-of-the-box wordplay is gold.

small (very small) gripe... by Somerichs	Apr 10th, 2007 01:58:34 PM
Jack hangs from the bottom of a truck for 10 minutes, and his arms aren't complete jelly? He wouldn't be able to hold his gun up let alone kick ass on Fayed. That said, i don't care either way, this ep was kickass, and i have no problem suspending my disbelief and overlooking this and the other gripes noted above...get that man his sack!
Also... by Somerichs	Apr 10th, 2007 02:00:42 PM
it never fails on 24 that as soon as everyone starts griping about something, they pull off an episode that totally kicks ass, answers all the questions that TB'ers had and were pissed off about, and generally reminds everyone why they love this show and invest their time in it week after week...
maybe they should change the name from by just pillow talk	Apr 10th, 2007 02:21:50 PM
24 to 8 since it seems the last 1/3 (give or take) are the best. Somerichs - the same reason he can take out dudes with machine guns with one pistol or how he can bounce back from being torture for 2 years (2 years!) or how he can get stabbed, rub dirt on it, and get back in the game: cause he's f'n Jack. Now it's down to bidness. I was very down on this show, but man, very happy with last night's episode.

"Say hello to your brother." by Jack Burton	Apr 10th, 2007 04:47:49 PM
Somehow, someway the show appears to be turning around. This episode was the best since the 4 hour premiere. It's still goofy as hell, but Jack's takedown of EVERYONE in the warehouse made wading through the last painful 3 hours worth it. Amazing, when Jack is on screen for the majority of the episode the show is 10 times better. Take a note producers. We don't care about the CTU drama but we can stomach it if you give us some Jack action in large doses.

It might be true that in the past 24 has always turned itself around after people start griping. However, this particular instance was notable and worrisome for me because: 1) I've never really had serious gripes about the show before, and 2) I've certainly never complained about it longer than one or two episodes in a row. This streak of awfulness lasted a full eight to ten episodes.

I broke his casting news like 2 years ago and the guy is still hanging around. I knew he would re-enter the foil as Jack's international nemesis. Good to see the Chinese are back in the picture. Too bad they have Audrey and not Kim though... still, on the whole, I really enjoyed last night's episode, BUT, I can't wait til they kill off Mike Doyle. His character sucks and Ricky Schroeder's acting is wooden and procedural. I know he's supposed to be a government hard-ass but would it kill him to smile for half a second?

Pure fucking 24. Where has this show been? Just when I thought Jack was waterskiing a little too close to those sharks. Beautiful

security here is worse then ctu. really something farking spectacular has to happen in these last couple of epsiodes.
Good point, DarthCorleone... by Somerichs	Apr 10th, 2007 06:05:07 PM
This is the first season where i felt like i didn't HAVE to see the next episode RIGHT FUCKING NOW ("Dammit!"). You know that feeling? Previous seasons, an episode would end, and it felt like a g-damn eternity before Monday rolled around again to see the next ep. And that was the case even knowing all the time inconsistencies, and all the dopey secondary story arcs; 24 has never been perfect but i was more than willing to suspend my disbelief cos it was exciting and Kiefer was a badass as Jack the badass. I've yet to experience the "holy shit, i'd pay $100 to see the next episode right now" feeling this season (maybe at the very beginning, but they may have actually done themselves a disservice by appeasing the fans with that 4 hr block). It was to the point where i could see myself not being too bothered if i missed it altogether. So, you're right, to go from the most exciting (if not necessarily the best) show on TV to its current (pre-last night)state is pretty worrisome. But, as most have said, last night's was a return to form, and i'm onboard, more than curious to see where this arc is going and hoping like hell they're gonna focus on Jack again (even if he doesn't have his sack) instead of Ass-hat Milo literally jeopardizing millions of American lives with his petty jealousy over someone he hasn't even dated yet, or President Wayne "doesn't-have-one-tenth-of-the -gravitas-of-his-bro-David-eve n-when-channeling-Dirty-Harry- during-his-speeches" Palmer (but props for the fake nuke, even if we saw it coming a mile away). In the end, i'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and chalk up this seasons' weaknesses to the season 6 doldrums...as long as they bring it home now and kick some serious ass!

Reaction to last night's episode... by Childe Roland	Apr 10th, 2007 06:29:18 PM
...reminds me very much of the whole Ritz cracker bit that either Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy did (as I get older, their standups start to merge in my mind). You remember the one? Where he was talking about any sex you get after a long time without sex seems like the best sex you ever had? Kind of like a guy coming out of hte desert after days without food is going to take whatever cracker you give him and praise it as the best damn cracker he's ever had ("That wasn't no regular cracker! That had to be a Ritz!"). We've all been in the 24 desert a long time but, by the standards of earlier seasons, last night's episode really was just sort of a regular cracker. I was glad to have it, but let's not go turning it into something it wasn't...namely an excuse or a magic eraser for all the shit we've been subjected to this season. Jack may be back, but 24 still has a whole helluva lot to make up to me.

did I miss something or is the LOST talkback officially gone? Yea I know there was the server problem, but usually by now it's already set up for tomorrow's episode.

It hasn't been coming up until a few hours before air time, for the past couple of weeks.

Hey Chrth... by Mindworm22	Apr 10th, 2007 09:57:32 PM
I don't disagree that they may have found it, but he JUST fell down in the water as the clock hit 00 at the end of last episode. Bill, not 5 minutes later said he was dead. No way, even with the Los Angeles teleporters that they regularly utilize in this show, did they find that body.
Gee, uh, is former President Logan still alive? by wackybantha	Apr 10th, 2007 10:17:03 PM
Just thought I'd ask since uh he was like the President and stuff.
about Logan: by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 10th, 2007 10:53:25 PM
The writers know that Logan is too good of a character to get rid of, especially since they've killed off all their other good characters last season. I think they're going to keep him around as their 'ace in the hole'. Due to his injury, I doubt that he'll be back this season, however. But then again, I remember that Tony Almeida was back in action just a few hours after BEING SHOT IN THE NECK AND LOSING A GALLON OF BLOOD! Damn, I miss Soul Patch...

24 has amazing healing powers by The Selecter	Apr 11th, 2007 02:49:55 AM
A little stabbing wouldn't keep Logan away. Tony was shot in the neck, had surgery, almost died, and still made it back within the same day. If there was a reason for Logan to return, I'm sure they'd bring him back. I'm glad some of you recognize one pretty good episode isn't going to erase the horrible ones that preceded it.

Seriously PwnedByStallone: see a professional by Pdorwick	Apr 11th, 2007 09:03:48 AM
Such rage!! I can only conclude that your real life is so joyless that you rely solely on these TV show to provided you with the little happiness you find in your life. This is okay I guess, except for the fact you got some shitty taste in TV. ...plus, it sounds like you have more than a few sexual hangups as well. Seriously, I could give you a number to a good therapist.
Very Good Episode Last Night by BilboRing	Apr 11th, 2007 09:24:22 AM
Best so far of the season. One question.....would all these people in the bunker with the president be able to just cell phone anyone outside and let them know that the president just launched an attack on a terrorist country? Everyone seems to have free range down there. Also, the CTU drama suck balls. Keep it out of the show. But good show overall. Nice twists and turns.

Mindworm22: Yeah, it was pretty quick by chrth	Apr 11th, 2007 10:34:25 AM
Although, remember, he died before Wayne Palmer launched the missile, so it's closer to 8-10 minutes. But the producers/writers have said they've basically abandoned true Real Time, so it's not surprising.
Thanks Somerichs... by Childe Roland	Apr 11th, 2007 11:03:57 AM
...for the clarification. The fact that I couldn't clearly recall was really starting to bug me. Did Murphy do a Pryor impression in the same show? I'm clearly hearing "You tell Bill I said to have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up!" Of course, having one's standup confused with Richard Pryor's is prettymuch the highest form of flattery a comic can recieve. To go from that to making fat suit movies...truly Eddie has forgotten the face of his father.

chromedome: Man, I dreamt I was on Galactica last night by chrth	Apr 11th, 2007 01:05:56 PM
I was like an Army private or something, and there was some sort of military parade (but it was more like a real parade, because there were children in the group ahead of us) and then I was talking to Roslin, trying to explain shit to her (I think the one thing I couldn't get through her thick skull was Baltar's inhead conversations - I was trying to point out that they might mean something). I don't think I'm going to make it to 2008.
chrth! by chromedome	Apr 11th, 2007 09:06:00 PM
well, I just don't know what to tell you--it appears that you may well be a cylon. Hearing music in the walls, by any chance? ;-) I keep hopin for recurring BSG dreams involving as many Grace Park copies as there are, with the occasional Six for the sake of variety. So far no joy, but recall that Teddy R. once commented about failing while daring greatly.... I do like the irony of you having, for all intents and purposes, an inhead conversation with Roslyn about Baltar's inhead conversations with Six. it IS gonna be a long wait. I have the mini and S1 dvds in hand, s2 & 2.5 on order, and will get S3/3.5 as soon as they are available. will fill the void both in time and my feeble memory while waiting for the fall event and January. cheers and Sweeter Dreams to you, sir
