No horse jokes this time. I swear! by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 30th, 2007 04:10:04 AM
Q) What does it mean if you find a horse shoe? A) Audrey Raines is walking around in her socks.
And a message to the 24 writers: by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 30th, 2007 04:12:50 AM
You only got a few hours left, and I'm losing hope, but if you somehow brought back Tony Almeida it would probably be the greatest moment in TV history. ...and I hear CTU needs a new boss. I'm just sayin'...
It would be a great moment if Tony returned... by Julius Dithers	Apr 30th, 2007 04:21:41 AM
Everyone who hung in there all season would jump out of their skins in ecstacy, half of whom would text their friends who watch Heroes and tivo 24 and spoil the moment. I know I would.
And no Dr Hume by ElPaw	Apr 30th, 2007 04:32:40 AM
Has he joined the likes of Behrooooooooooooooooooz and Daddy Bauer in 24 purgatory?
"What have they done to her?" by emp	Apr 30th, 2007 04:38:25 AM
"My God! They stretched her face! Dammit!" My first talkback post, and I'm making Audrey Raines horse jokes...
Bring back Tony, Naked Mandy, and Behrooz.. by fanboy71	Apr 30th, 2007 05:09:03 AM
And have them be the villians behind it all. Tony, because he didn't get a silent clock, Behrooz because he's pissed that CTU handed him over so easy, and Mandy because... wel, because she's Mandy, and she's getting paid!
remember how awesome Alexander Siddig was in 1 episode? by TallBoy66	Apr 30th, 2007 05:14:38 AM
Yeah, his introductory episode was pretty sweet, but, goddamn, was he ever wasted. That's the thing about Season 6 - all setup, no followthrough. Sad, really. I was totally pumped when it was annouced that Bashir was going to be on "24". What a waste.
After last night..... by emeraldboy	Apr 30th, 2007 05:16:50 AM
I dont know what to think about this program.. A brief Recap....for those dont rememeber... Audrey is alive and being held by Cheng. Jack decides to set her free by handing over a sub-board which contains the remaining russian nukes. Wayne Palmer signs off on what is really a suicide plan by jack bauer. jack will blow up sub-board using C4 and sacrifice himself and killing Cheng in the process. Palmer fires devilish Noah daniels(powers booth who likes he hates his role cause he looks like swallowing something inedible). Palmer addresses the nation and collapses. Daniels becomes acting president. Sandra screechy Palmer orders an Mri and blood scan. Discovers her brother was poisoned. She is unaware of his now running the country. She threatens to go to ACLU. Daniels Kidnaps her and hands her over to the Chinese were she is tortured, Kiefer lays into her for being annoying character and shoots her in the head. Daniels Bombs Aclu. Jack goes back to CTU and finds that Noah Daniels was behind todays events. Tom Lennox gets a spine. Confronts Weedy bollix, who is also handed over to the chinese. Weedy Bollix after being slapped around the place by a chinese ninja. Then declares his love for america, is accidently run over by Bauer. It is also disccovered that Doyle is the real mole and that he has been working with Milo all along. Nadja Ties him to a chair and then shags him untill he cant stands no more, confesses everything. Meanwhile Wayne finds he has an allie, the creepy blonde woman who used be in Invasion. after an offering more sex that he can handle, wayne makes a remarkable quick recovery, Wayne, Lennox, Karen hayse and jack confront Devilish noah daniels. Who vanishs in a cloud of smoke but not before laughing and pointing and jack ad saying "Who's you daddy, biatch!" The above could possibly happen after all Season Six has been pretty brutal this year.
Xiphos-- SPOILER by Leopold Scotch	Apr 30th, 2007 05:41:49 AM
I'm pretty sure I read on here last week that it is indeed the assistant. Even so, they're always very quick to jump to the conclusion that it's a mole (they call it a spy this time to keep it fresh). I don't know how Jack is going to get out of being under arrest this time, though.
BRING BACK ZOMBIE ALMEDIA! by LordEnigma	Apr 30th, 2007 05:45:47 AM
This would be the only thing to fix this season. We cant even get more than three episodes of hip and happenin JACK SACK ACTION! Something big has to happen this season because it comes across as all SET-UP! This whole fucking year is a set-up to something else. What could it fucking be? What the fuck else could this show pull out of it's ass? Nevertheless, the writers of this show better be happy that everyone has decided to kick LOST around this year. If not, then, they would have to deal with people giving them shit for 24 episodes of FUCKING EXPOSITION! It does seem as if we are coming up on the real possibility that DAY 7 happens after DAY 6.
you say tank girl is in this week's ep? by just pillow talk	Apr 30th, 2007 07:34:19 AM
Wow, they are willing to try anything this season...
Not A SPOILER cause they showed it in the preview by jimbojones123	Apr 30th, 2007 07:38:09 AM
The assistant chick was making out w/some other dude in last weeks preview -- thus she is probably the mole and just using VP Daniels. Again not a spoiler cause they now show all the crazy twists and turns in THE PREVIEW FOR NEXT WEEK. Do they think we are now THAT dumb?
DR HUME -- by jimbojones123	Apr 30th, 2007 07:43:31 AM
Did Herc finally listen to us and kill him, or is he just waiting for the e-mail to update the story, and pretend like it was there the whole time? (please be gone)
Lori Petty by jimbojones123	Apr 30th, 2007 07:45:35 AM
Wow, and she used to have so much going for her. Guess Spoonie is going to get some washed up action.
Spoiler?I Hope It's Either Tony, Or Walsh Spoilers? by The Ender Smites Foes	Apr 30th, 2007 07:53:17 AM
Noobs won't know who Walsh is. And that's why you are cunts. But long time 24 fan's will, and I think that would be pretty cool (not necessary, but cool). Tony though, I'm really hoping for a Tony Comeback. They know we want it. And the dudes making fun of Audrey. Yeah, she's not attractive, at all. But out of Duty to 24, I'd do her if it would please her. That is the kind of self sacrificing individual I am. All in the name of entertainment..
I Still Hold That This Season by The Ender Smites Foes	Apr 30th, 2007 07:55:18 AM
Is the best since Season 2 by the way.
the only possible way this season can be 'saved' by just pillow talk	Apr 30th, 2007 07:57:14 AM
is to have Tony come back. Right now this season is only better than season 7 (yup, season 7).
The only thing more annoying than Hume... by CorpseRide	Apr 30th, 2007 08:28:07 AM
...is that dickless wonder who posts a complete synopsis of the 'Lost' eps in their talkback, in one breathless block of text, about 90 mins before it airs. With all due respect, I have to say: what a cocksucker.
Pityful by Darth Hater	Apr 30th, 2007 08:36:04 AM
All those making fun of the way someone looks is another example of hiding behind the anonimity of a talkback forum. Why don't you link to a pic of your georgous selves so the rest of us can bask in your beauty. You'd be lucky just to get your own hand to fuck ya! Just pathetic.
Best Audrey joke so far... by biggles2_22	Apr 30th, 2007 08:39:46 AM
...has been hooking her up with the idiot-savant from earlier in the season. They can go out for a "Franks & Beans!" dinner. I'm not gonna slag this show anymore as it's become a redundant joke. I'll maintain that if you look at it as a 24 spoof, it's actually pretty funny and you'll end up enjoying the hell outta it! I stopped watching it, and went back, after a few episodes, to find that I get more chuckles and outright laughter as each plot twist is thrown at me. Funny stuff.

Kim Raver is HOT by Abin Sur	Apr 30th, 2007 08:41:22 AM
Anyone not believing that should check out the movie "Keep Your Distance." AWFUL movie, BUT we get to see Kim in a couple of nice (albeit too brief) make-out sessions with another lovely lady. Any of you dissing her after seeing that are gay by choice.
Now, if you want to rag on Tori Spelling instead... by Abin Sur	Apr 30th, 2007 08:43:41 AM
...please, by all means. Have a carrot, Tori!
Anybody notice by jimbojones123	Apr 30th, 2007 08:53:04 AM
The saddle hanging up in the living room of Kim Raver's house in "Night at the Museum". Won't leave home without it.
Cap'nJack or whoever he is in the lost talkback by jimbojones123	Apr 30th, 2007 08:55:28 AM
Cracks me up. I know Wednesday afternoon's talkback is over at that point for the rest of the day. Just tune in next day for the wrap talkback. BTW, better than that jerk Canadian guy DanielKinkirk or something that posts all the spoilers 2 hrs early. That guy sucks.
I find the audrey jokes distasteful by Mr_X	Apr 30th, 2007 08:59:14 AM
please stop horsing around. I miss Dr RObert HUme, he kinda saved me time by giving the synopsis and allowing me fast forward the show Is anyone actually watching this now? bring on some major players, Tony, bring back micheele forbes, bring back chase. DO SOMETHING 24 WRITERS
Waaaa! Darth Hater Waaaa! by biggles2_22	Apr 30th, 2007 09:13:10 AM

AUDREY RAINES HAS SOME OATS AND CHEETS ON BARBARO by Pound Sand	Apr 30th, 2007 09:46:54 AM

There is hope by The Selecter	Apr 30th, 2007 10:06:42 AM
According to one report, the producers have gotten the message -- this season sucks, with the ratings down, and harsh reviews all around. They make some vague promises about changes for next season, but I think we've heard that before.
just having a moment of... by biggles2_22	Apr 30th, 2007 10:21:19 AM

FF:Rise of the CTU MOLEMEN by uss cygnus	Apr 30th, 2007 10:22:26 AM

Worst season...ever! by Lost Skeleton	Apr 30th, 2007 10:24:19 AM
Last week was just plain stupid.
audrey was cute by punto	Apr 30th, 2007 10:25:56 AM
on 3rd watch, when she was playing the young aimless paramedic.. now that playing all these grown up characters, it's fucking unwatchable.
The big secret... by biggles2_22	Apr 30th, 2007 10:37:03 AM
...Audrey has a little Chinese dude hiding inside her va-jin! His name is Sum Yung Gai.
at the end of the season... by biggles2_22	Apr 30th, 2007 10:41:04 AM
...he'll jump out and yell, "Suppwize, Mista Bowa!" and blow Jacks brains out.
a few points by lopan	Apr 30th, 2007 10:51:03 AM
1) zombie almeida is the only thing that can save this wretched season. 2) kiefer sutherland is not a very good actor. 3) come to think of it, if behrooz was the architect of the entire terrorist plot, i would be pretty stoked. 4) horse face or not i would still fuck the saddle off of kim raver. if she neighed the entire time it would be SO hot 5) 3
Jack sex turns women into lesbians by EvilWizardGlick	Apr 30th, 2007 10:53:58 AM
All Jacks women either are dead, crazy or want to kill him. Next season they have to start becoming Lesbians after Jack sex.
my apologies by lopan	Apr 30th, 2007 10:54:42 AM
there is no point 5. actually, 5) the retard should be president next season
President Brady by Leopold Scotch	Apr 30th, 2007 11:08:07 AM
HAHA. Thanks for that. It was funny.
It's Jack's face as the car drives off by Leopold Scotch	Apr 30th, 2007 11:17:46 AM
with Brady in it. It seems to imply that he's thinking "if only everyone was like Brady: we'd already be in Heaven." Or simply, "I wish I had me a 'tard".
5) the retard should be president next season by jimbojones123	Apr 30th, 2007 11:35:13 AM
HOLY CRAP, I can totally see this happening. Please, before another Palmer (please let her die before this will happen, and mark my words, it is in the works for the next season or two) makes it to the White House.
The 24:Heros talkback ratio this week 1:2 by jimbojones123	Apr 30th, 2007 11:36:58 AM
But unfortunatly the 1 for 24 will mostly be bashing or making fun of the show. Heros will have the most positive buzz since we first saw Future Hero. That's the episode that really turned on the fanboys.
Did I really see the Jack Sack last week?? by Somerichs	Apr 30th, 2007 12:06:29 PM
I only just watched last week's episode last night, but did mine eyes deceive me? Was Jack reunited with his Sack, or was that just "a" sack as opposed to THE JackSack? Cos THAT would go a long way to salvaging the season. Apparently Jack ain't Jack without his Sack...
Also... by Somerichs	Apr 30th, 2007 12:10:22 PM
you know the season of 24 is not up to it's normal standards when I HAVE to watch Heroes soon as it airs, but i waited nearly an entire week before getting around to watching 24. Time was i'd be glued to the TV every week for 24, commercials and all, but Heroes is clearly the more compelling show of the moment. Nevertheless, as stated above, if the Jack sack really was back in action last week, then things are definitely looking up... :)
and lopan... by Somerichs	Apr 30th, 2007 12:11:45 PM

Salt lick by Stuntcock Mike	Apr 30th, 2007 12:19:13 PM
Audrey vs. 10lb salt lick. Donnnnnnnnkeeee.
I concur.... very boring season.... by Russman	Apr 30th, 2007 12:24:14 PM
Every season whatever disaster that's planned by the bad guys goes off, but is usually as a result of being forced to go off early or doesn't go off quite as planned. I know the "good guys" have to win, but I'd like 24 to have a season where the bad guys take out 20-50 thousand people... really raise the stakes and catch everyone off guard and sleeping. No, I don't want this to happen in real life, but on a TV show, hit us hard in the chest, put everyone's ass under the fire. Now last season they killed off Ex Prez Palmer and some others but that felt more like a stunt and they eliminated characters that had run their course and moved on or could be replaced. And hey, maybe I'm wrong, who knows, but hopefully they'll have something different planned for next season... cuz right now, I'm getting a little bored. I don't watch the show live anymore, Heroes has that "honor" and 24 gets recorded.
24 is so bad it's become unmissable TV. by CorpseRide	Apr 30th, 2007 12:32:36 PM
Whereas Heroes is just averagely bad. These days LOST is where it's at. That show is on a ROLL.
I just watch the first half by SithMenace	Apr 30th, 2007 12:34:17 PM
then I switch over to The King Of Queens. Especially now that it's in it's last 5 or so episodes. And Kim Raver has an average face, but nowhere near ugly. She does however have gorgeous feet and legs.
I had to wait for Friday Heros last week by jimbojones123	Apr 30th, 2007 12:34:49 PM
I was stuck recording 24 since they don't replay it and waiting for the Sci-Fi replay of Heros just so I could watch the Hockey game. Then my Stars went ahead and stunk it up anyways. I finally caught Heros and 24 goes back on "not live" coverage at my house. When are they going to get the "adorable dufus" role in here. Every show needs a Screech, Richard Stabone, Skippy. When is 24 finally going to get theirs?
Another week to cheer for Jack's Misery!!! by jimbojones123	Apr 30th, 2007 12:43:07 PM
I have done the 180 with this character... and it started with Kim. I want her DEAD so bad. Next, I want him to find out his Nephew is actually his kid and have him turn EVIL and work with daddy against Jack. He is now turned into the anti-hero. I want VP Daniels to find out his secretary is the Mole and kick her butt and for Vigo-lover to finish off Karen Hayes. Lastly, Milo needs to put Chloe out of her misery and hook up with Morris.

And Biggles2_22...don't use that waaahbulance....it's old and corney, and was never really funny.....and with someone with a name like Biggles, it only makes you look like a bigger douchebag.******Oh yeah, btw, Season 6 does suck....only thing that can save it is Zombie Almeida.

Lost and Heroes have been much better than 24 by Lost Skeleton	Apr 30th, 2007 02:07:23 PM

It is not even remotely similar to 24, with the exception of it being on monday nights they have nothing in common. Another thing, IT HAS ONE (Count it) FUCKING SEASON, that is not even over yet! NEXT YEAR YOU FUCKING CUNT RAGS WILL BE ON HERE BASHING YOUR FORMERLY FAVOURITE SHOW! I WILL REMEMBER YOUR NAMES AND RUB YOUR FACE IN YOUR OWN SHIT!

There have been some weeks, TESF, where your posts have been more fun to view than that week's 24 episode. I just hope they can fix the stuff that was revealed to be broken this season and MOVE THEM THE FRACK OUT OF L.A. NEXT YEAR. This show, more than any other, needs a new location first and foremost.

I hear... by Overworkedanunderfucked	Apr 30th, 2007 06:43:16 PM
According to both Howard Gordon and David Fury next season of 24 will almost be a complete revamp of the entire concept. Hopefully no more terrorist crap. I would like for it to mostly focus on Jack and entirely new set of characters. If only they would have Jack caught in the midst of the aftermath of a Hurricane for an entire 24 hours. That would be some damn fine television.
The Heroes fanboys make me laugh by Overworkedanunderfucked	Apr 30th, 2007 06:55:16 PM
If Heroes is even watchable in its sixth season I will personally eat crow. The internet has become a VERY effective tool for the Heroes hype machine to go into overtime. Thanks in no small party to its cheerleaders at the Television without pity boards. Lost is still better than Heroes and I was ready to give up on that show at the end of last season. It really has gotten interesting again. I look forward to seeing the reaction when Heroes rehashing everything that has made it a success this season endlessly for future seasons.
Jack vs. Nature could totally work. by I Hope You Die	Apr 30th, 2007 07:01:19 PM
The Hurricane cuts through the zoo and the cougars escape! Can Jack save Kim in time?
They have no choice but to revamp! by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 30th, 2007 07:02:51 PM
They've run the whole terrorist/disaster thing straight into the ground. The sad thing is THIS is the season that should have been the revamp! They had it all set up: Jack comes back after being tortured & not speaking for nearly 2 years. He's all fucked up, scars all over his body. Mentally, he's not all there. The only reason his government gave a shit enough to get him back was so he could sacrifice himself. He agrees because he WANTS to die. He is finished as an agent & as a human being. His job & circumstances have finally robbed him of his humanity & his will to live. He's a shell of the man we met in season 1. He escapes by RIPPING SOME GUYS THROAT OPEN WITH HIS TEETH! So far so good! Then, he starts running around like old times. He just happens to find a cell phone & starts using GPS & running around barking orders & dropping guys with one shot & following leads... and the whole show starts to take a nosedive. This should have been the season of the fucked-up Bauer, the both physically & mentally crippled Bauer. 2 years of torture & solitary confinement? Come on! He should not have been able to run at all. His marksmanship should have been way off. He should have been all twitchy & had problems clearing his head enough to think clearly. He should also have went rogue almost immediately! FUCK CTU & the White House after abandoning him! Seeing him go about attempting to go after the nukes while being at 50% capacity (at best) would have been AWESOME! The writers had all of the pieces in place to make this an incredible & tragic season & they fucked it up completely. Wayne Palmer, the sister, the retard hacker, the castrated Aaron Pierce, the STILL crazy Martha & the waste of Logan, the waste of Chloe, Toonces as the Almeida wannabe. In each and every case they dropped the ball bigtime. Heads need to roll @ 24 headquarters & whoever was responsible for the bad choices made this season needs to be looking for another job, pronto. Hopefully, next season will have a fresh approach & some new blood creatively. The question is will they still have an audience?
"Heroes fanbois" by Ashok0	Apr 30th, 2007 07:21:58 PM
Eh... Don't blame any blacklash on "24" on Heroes 'fanbois'. Many "Heroes" fans are also "24" fans, and simply wish to see "24" do greater things than Jack-fighting-terrorists- rogue-with-mole-infested-CTU-s econd-guessing-him-while-the-P resident-has-VP-issues. What it boils down to is, "Heroes" may be better written that its cast, and Kiefer Sutherland's performance is better than "24".
I just think that... by Overworkedanunderfucked	Apr 30th, 2007 07:40:40 PM
Heroes is overhyped. I like the show. I also think it is better than 24 this season. That is without question and anyone who thinks otherwise has lost it. I am just sick of people acting like Heroes is the best thing to ever grace TV. If the show is still in it's sixth season I will admit as much. I think the problem with 24 is that the terrorist/WMD/CTU/conspiracy in the Whitehouse crap is done. The format has all sorts of possible stories that could be told in it. I read an article with David Fury recently where he was saying how every season they try to do something different but it always ends up the same ol' thing. But now Gordon himself is admitting the problems they had writing this season. I just hope he keeps his word on doing something completely different next year. If it is the same ol' shit then no one will be watching, including me.

I have been saying the same thing for years!! I loved S5. It was mostly more of the same but the actors (Especially The Logans) really knocked it out of the park. I think part of the problem is that Joel Surnow wants the show to be about the War on Terror. He is a staunch neocon Republican and uses every chance he gets to shove the Bush agenda down people's throats. Last season was very popular. The show even won an emmy. So what do the writers do? They give us more of the same because last year is generally considered a high point for the show and it was more of the same (Just better written, acted, and more suspenseful than S6). Now, they see the ratings are crumbling and they know something has to change.

Morris and Chloe. by CatVutt	Apr 30th, 2007 08:25:28 PM
Seriously, another example of how wrong-headed this year has been...in the hands of writers with better control of the characters, that whole exchange with the 'don't arm bombs for terrorists' could've led to a hilarious and honest interplay between the two. But what do we get? More moping and whining and high-school level emoting. Suckfest. Goddamn it.

24-Tanic With Jack and Audrey by uss cygnus	Apr 30th, 2007 09:01:39 PM
And the point of the last "Days of Our Lives" bullshit scene with Heller was what exactly? "You're cursed, Jack." crickets How about... "Go to hell, Mr. Secretary." "Go BLEEP Yourself, Mr. Secretary." What is this shit, "Titanic" now? Waiter, check please.
Man can hope by Redfoot the Fence	Apr 30th, 2007 09:01:49 PM

I HATE AUDREY by kyle051554	Apr 30th, 2007 09:06:20 PM
I was SO excited earlier in the season when they revealed that she wad "dead." I hope they kill her off and hook Jack up with Mrs. Graem Bauer. The kid's probably his anyway, so it'd make sense.
Hold the phone, Heller's alive? by GrandMuffTarkin	Apr 30th, 2007 09:06:48 PM

He never came back on-camera, but the fact that he survived was mentioned late last Season.

They've cloned Tony! Did anybody else think the Chinese Commando in the preview sounded an Awful lot like our favorite Zombie? Tony Almeida is the Jango Fett of CTU...Well, It would be plausible in this seasons "writing", wouldn't it?
Thanks CatVutt... by GrandMuffTarkin	Apr 30th, 2007 09:19:06 PM
I love the way they handled it via a throwaway line that I clearly missed last season. Reminds me of Thank You For Smoking..."Lucky we invented the Blahblahblah so we can smoke in space."
I agree by Jubs	Apr 30th, 2007 09:21:24 PM
I'd bang Audrey endlessly, but she needs to go. Jack had much better chemistry with Graem's woman. BTW, isn't she still at CTU?
Morris and Chloe Soap Opera by skydemon	Apr 30th, 2007 09:21:50 PM

Ouch by Overworkedanunderfucked	Apr 30th, 2007 09:26:19 PM
That last scene with Heller was one of the coldest things I have ever seen on this show.
GIVE 'EM HELLER by Stuntcock Mike	Apr 30th, 2007 09:29:19 PM
Yeah, the return of Rolling Thunder. Enough of Jack, let Heller finish the season himself. "Your cursed Jack" No shit.
Morris and Audrey by Redfoot the Fence	Apr 30th, 2007 09:31:40 PM
My idea: throw Morris and Audrey into the Brundle-fly machine, painfully fuse them together into some horrible blob monster with four legs, and then have Ricky Schroder strap on a dynamite vest and charge into the Audrey-Morris conglomerate, blowing all three of them to smithereens. Solve a lot of problems right there.
Other than Devane, by Stuntcock Mike	Apr 30th, 2007 09:38:29 PM
this was another useless episode. The White House bullshit story must evaporate and smoke pole. Come to think of it, Heller's got quite the set of Mr. Ed chompers himself. Inspired casting indeed. HEAD 'EM UP, MOVE 'EM OUT!

breaking news from ew website!! by movienick07	Apr 30th, 2007 11:22:16 PM
the creators of this show have something in common with lost which i thinks cool they want keep there fans happy, they are goingto seriously change this show next season and make it different.. maybe they will do jack goes on vacation and the shows like die hard where jack gotta save the day or something... other sayin it wont be musical or comedy they did say there going a different direction in day 7... i think one good thing with show in this format they can do many things as long as they hire good actors other then lennox other new character has sucked... they need change that..especiall on show where anyone can die! 24 is good show because like season 3 came season 4,5 two great seasons.. this show can be on 4ever... hope next year we get more jack more action and interesting characters that we havent had since, nina,david,sherry,tony,michell e,edgar, and last one pass on was curtis.
I actually... by Overworkedanunderfucked	Apr 30th, 2007 11:40:23 PM
I think the show has been a lot better since the Jack Vs Fayid smackdown a few weeks back. Is it really good? No, it is not. But I have enjoyed the Audrey/Chinese arc more than all those rehashed, cliche WMD episodes with the drone plans and stock villians nonsense. I also think Biscuit and Powers fuckin Boothe are doing a damn good job with the material they are given. The Biscuit facial expressions tonight were funny as shit to me some reason. The whole terrorist/WMD/CTU crap is done and no matter how they try to reinvent it just don't work anymore. Just come up with another idea for a really bad day and put Jack in it. The show can go on forever if they just put him in different crisis beside this well worn "War on terror" neocon wish fullfillment. It is done, writers. Done. Let it go!
Oy by tiredpm	Apr 30th, 2007 11:44:36 PM
I'm watching this show out of duty at the moment. There have been great moments, there has been some good acting, there have been a few moments when you kind of got the feeling the writers had a plan...but, for the most part, this entire season has been a total mess. It's almost like Keifer got his $40 million, became the executive producer, took a few eightballs and then called a meeting: "WE'RE GONNA BLOW UP LA!! ACTUALLY, JUST VALENCIA! FUCK VALENCIA! CURTIS, YOU'RE FUCKED! WHO DO I LIKE, WHO DO I LIKE...RENA SOFER, FUCK YEAH! SHE'S MINE THIS SEASON! NEXT SEASON, HEIDI FUCKING KLUM!!!" "Uh, Mr. Sutherland, how are we going to stretch that out over 24 episodes?" "FUCK KNOWS!" A few hours later, Keifer's on a downer: "...I just want to be loved...doesn't anyone...don't any of you understand? Where's Audrey? I love her...I love her so..." When the two best options to wrap this season are a) Jack waking up and it was all a dream or b) Jack getting shot in the head by William Devane you know the show has a problem.
I think this season had a lot of potential... by mr_macphisto	Apr 30th, 2007 11:53:19 PM
...but it didn't seem to have the patience to stick with anything. It started off great, with some fantastic ideas, and then just sorta...fizzled out. Assad? Great character. Ooops, 6 episodes, DEAD. Nuclear bomb going off in LA? Great idea! Ooops, a few hours later, people are partying in a nightclub. Jack's dad is the evil mastermind? Okay, a little hard to swallow, but...ooops! Phillip's disappeared! Jack has a mental breakdown from months of torture and having to kill his friend? Ooops, now he's a super agent again, killing lead terrorists in amusing ways! (Okay, that one was worth it.) The point is, they need more focus. This season has been incredibly convoluted and just...just all over the place. Did everyone else forget that Kumar was in this season? Cuz I totally just remembered that! It seems like it was from a different season all together!

This episode was a slight improvement by Jinxo	May 1st, 2007 01:00:02 AM
In the past who was in charge of what was always in constant flux. Bill B gets fired in the fianl episodes? Nothing. Back in the day CTU would have, like 4 bosses in the course of a day. The show is better when folks other than Jack are forced to step up and do the right thing. It wasn't perfectly done but having Doyle, Nadia, the acting President AND Jack all having to step up and make legitimate hard choices helped add some tension. And Heller smacking Jack when he's down was awesome. I just wish it was HBO so the line could have been, "You're cursed Jack. Everything you touch turns to shit."

Heller's dialogue sucked by Aloy	May 1st, 2007 03:43:23 AM
As if a guy with his cojones would blame Jack (weeping father or not) for his dumbass daughter getting caught driving around China looking for her boyfriend who's locked up in a torture cell. On the other hand... it was good to see Daniel Jackson get a chance to act without his nerd glasses.
Am I the only one... by FriedGold35	May 1st, 2007 04:09:05 AM
who intentionally avoids spoilers on the show only to have an appearance from a 'surprise' character RUINED by having the actor's name listed in the opening credits? It would have been nice to see Secretary Heller at his daughter's bedside unexpectedly, but I knew he'd be there because Devane's name was listed three minutes into the show under "Special Guest Star." Same with Jean Smart earlier this year. Pisses me off.
how I would rank the seasons by Demosthenes2	May 1st, 2007 04:10:22 AM
5, 1, 3, 4, 6, 2 5 had the most fluid arcs of any season; even though the writers have admitted they're flying by the seat of their pants with no season plan, you couldn't tell this time. Charles and Martha made us forget David and Sherry. 1 had the most intense drama with Nina and uhh Kim's mom (Teri?) in spite of an off-course third quarter (amnesia?). This was the only season Kim had an engrossing plotline. 3 had a rocky start but the virus arc in the latter half was perhaps the most suspenseful threat ever in terms of how it was portrayed, and Michelle really stepped up to the plate in the crisis as a female Jack, which the show could use another of. Having a new cast at the beginning of 4 was considerably jarring, but that made us value Tony and Michelle even more when they returned. Chloe was transformed from an annoying character to a lovable one. Behrooz's mom was great, but I didn't warm up to Audrey yet; a little too cold. 6 has been all over the place, and the quality of the episodes have been remarkably inconsistent, from really good to boring next week. Characters keep disappearing. Jack's dad? His sister-in-law? The Logans? Wayne's sister and her boyfriend? Of course some characters can't stick around all season, but they just vanished without any seen departure. 2 was the wonkiest season, uhh mountain lion? But the sister's reveal was one of the show's best surprises. I liked Jack's love interest and was sorry she didn't stick around.
Am I insane? by Oozer3993	May 1st, 2007 05:52:49 AM
Or did they say "3 Episodes Remaining" during the teaser for next week? I could have sworn they did. And that only adds up to 23.
I can't tell which is more of a parody by jimbojones123	May 1st, 2007 07:53:50 AM
The South Park 24 episode, or this episode. It's like 24 for dummies. Heller comes in and says Jack is cursed. COME ON???? Really, those are the words of wisdom he has. I blame the pilot if my daughter goes skydiving and while landing turns into a face of a mountian and smashes herself all up. Okay bad example, but AUDRY IS AN ADULT -- she got what she wanted. BTW GO VP -- POWERS BOOTH NEEDS TO STAY! I hope he has to take down a rogue Jack next year after he officially goes LOONY!
Door by fireclown	May 1st, 2007 08:27:54 AM
I'm with Mogwai all the way. Although I am grooving on the tragic Audrey thing. And her Dad reading Jack the riot act. . priceless. Anyway, did anyone else notice that when the VP left the office after threatening his GF with being thrown into an unmarked hole in the ground that in a room with no other people that the door just slammed behind him, Darth Vader style, WITH THE GIRL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM? This is where the show turns. That guy is straight up Palpatine.

YES, William F-ing Devane, FINALLY! by biggles2_22	May 1st, 2007 08:57:48 AM
This season just got a whole lot better-er. C'mon, admit it, last nights episode was little more "on-track" and William F-ing Devane rounded it off. And if you're a daddy (which I am) you'd have the same illogical thought process with your daughters safety. "I don't care what the circumstances are, champ, stay the fuck away from my daughter before she gets stabbed, tortured, gassed and/or Chinese Herpes (Cherpes)."
Morris is Dead by invaderzim365	May 1st, 2007 08:59:40 AM

Ultron ver 2.0 by biggles2_22	May 1st, 2007 09:45:33 AM
Ah yes, I was wondering when the "I'm rubber, you're glue." thing was going to come up. Didn't take long for you to run out of steam, "tough guy". (And you call yourself a professional!) I think CTU has Audrey parked in a stable somewhere, but you'll have to get by William F-ing Devane to "hit" that equestrian ass.
MICHAEL SHANKS FTW by turketron	May 1st, 2007 09:50:59 AM
MF'n Daniel Jackson has graced 24 with his presence. I was surprised as hell to see him. Yeah... this season has been pretty week. They could have done a lot more with Jack's dad's storyline, but nope. The Chloe/Morris stuff is lame. I also caught the VP Vader moment, with the door closing. The presidents always have a way of closing doors on women that makes me smile.

That was the most boring episode of 24 ever by GornPirate	May 1st, 2007 12:02:21 PM
I am a big fan of this series but this has season has been it's worse and last night episode was boring. It was like a really bad day time soap opera. I think they need new writers and really shake things up if they are going to keep this series going.
VP closing the door by hockey2112	May 1st, 2007 12:10:49 PM
Am I the only one that saw the two secret service dudes enter the room immediately after the VP walked out?? They entered, one went to each side of the door inside of the room, and the one by the door obviously closed it. Tom must have called them in, anticipating the VP's wishes to place that ho under some sort of arrest.

THere were actually about 3 times i laughed this epsiode, the whole chloe/ morris thing, vp daniels finding out his stonecold invasion woman has been cheating on him and sleeperhold doyle. Surely 24 isnt supposed to cuase as much mirth as it does nowadays
hey by movienick07	May 1st, 2007 03:18:19 PM
its only 3 episodes left because the 2 hr finale that ends this day is 2 hrs... i rate the seasons like this 5,4(they go together because 4 is what made the 5 season one best 4 episode beginings and set the pace for great season, i hope they do this with this season...)1,2,3,6 till this season 3rd was worst because had most boring ending and like season they had no clue how do that season they just wanted to kill nina and sherry(i miss them best villians) but great thing is season 3 is an example this show can fix its problems... i hope they get new actors and a new lead.. and start 24 fresh while rest make a great prequel movie on how baur became the guy he is(keifer has sad thats one thing he love show is what in keifers past would make him be way he is, and realizes u cant do that in real time format, but u could in a movie) think a movie as prequel u could find out how nina became the greatest mole in 24 history, how david sherry meet and got into poltics what happened jack and his family and how he became guy that belives this country should come first.... and also have tony in it... that be great movie and they could do this while making a show with maybe chlo and pres daniels and rest bunch news guys set maybe 5-6 years in future where jack is dead and long buried.
24's ratings are plummeting... by BigTuna	May 1st, 2007 03:18:29 PM
It's not just people on the net hating this season, I just read this morning that the past month the ratings have taken a nose-dive, and the most important 18-49 age group is the lowest it's ever been for 24. It's return next season isn't even guaranteed.
umm it is guaranteed. by movienick07	May 1st, 2007 03:29:16 PM
the first season had 8.1 million viewers season 2 7.1 million and season 3 9.1 but time they reached may it was a low 5.1...(hence they said change format to january-may) most people didnt watch season 1-3 until they were on dvd... and dont forget they sighned show for 3 more seasons last year and a deal make one movie... they said they might have wait till this 3 year deal ends make the movie... also do u ever look at ratings other then house,american idol(and only reason house is hight on ratings is because shocker its on ager idol just like that gay 5th grade crap) 24 is one fox highest rated shows and higher then er, and all law and orders and they aint going anywhere soon... also its been getting same ratings as lost (its 11 milion) but that shows only on 3rd season, and abc is going keep it on for another 2 at least maybe 3. if they keep simpsons on forever and it averages probaly less 9 million viewers 24 is save for while. House, American Idol,simpsons,and yea 24, and prison break are fox big shows... they aint going anywhere.
sayin 24 is in trouble is like saying by movienick07	May 1st, 2007 03:32:12 PM
lost might not return...
My #1 request for Season 7 by Ultron ver 2.0	May 1st, 2007 03:57:36 PM
Get this show out of LA! Have Jack and his sack knock out some missions in Prague, saving the world. Noone give a fuck about SoCal anymore.
Not a bad episode... by DarthCorleone	May 1st, 2007 04:26:34 PM
I have hated the majority of this season, but I thought they got back to the basics of what makes 24 strong this episode. (That said, I still think it needs a massive revamp next year.) I liked the character interplay between Heller, Jack, Audrey, Nadia, Doyle, and even the VP. Heller's end line was very strong, because Jack can never have enough tragic emotional baggage as far as I'm concerned. Maybe there's hope to salvage this thing yet.
I just hope they go smaller next season by chrth	May 1st, 2007 04:47:30 PM
No White House politics. No moles/spies/tools. Just Jack, Aaron Pierce, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nadia (the best thing of this season), and Zombie Tony working to make the world safe for men in platform shoes.
Solid episode by Mogwai Democracy	May 1st, 2007 05:58:58 PM
Not great, mind you, but solid. This was an episode where things started to seem a bit more like classic 24. A number of characters that were previously annoying suddenly became likeable. The VP became humanized & more sympathetic. Doyle breaking protocol to help Jack was great, and Nadia showing a little backbone and stepping into her (temporary?) role as CTU boss was also welcome. Great to see DEVANE back, just wish he had more of an expanded role in this episode. Yeah, it was very cold how he dealt with Jack, but it's easy to see his point: everyone within a 10 mile radius of Jack sooner or later (usually sooner) ends up DEAD (except for the retard hacker). I just can't find myself caring about the Morris/Chloe drama. Chloe with a guy is just weird, anyway. She's much better solo. And the whole breakup thing just feels like a setup for another "Morris in danger" episode. As soon as I heard that Chinese guy say "your going to need to find someone else to arm the chip" I thought: "Oh FUCK NO not Morris AGAIN!!!!?"
That was an interesting way to end it. by I Hope You Die	May 1st, 2007 06:09:52 PM
The cliff hanger was essentially Audrey's father being mean to Jack. It's not as if "stay away from her" has any currency; what happens when she gets better and asks to see Jack? Also, note to Fox: If you'd made Nadia acting director of CTU 8 episodes ago, I totally wouldn't have noticed how crappy this season was.
This series is now a complete piece of shit by Pdorwick	May 1st, 2007 06:14:03 PM
After another horrendous episode I'm beginning to run out of expletives to describe this now truly horrible show. ...and maybe the apologists among you can tell me how Devane survived the car crash he was in the last time we saw him ...not that I really give a fuck anymore.
What was worse???? by CrazyCurt	May 1st, 2007 06:40:36 PM
Why all the piling on Audrey???? Come on...her father was kidnapped, her brother tortured, her husband killed, her father almost killed, her boyfriend was shot dead, then he was alive, then she almost bled to death, she broke her ankle & almost had to be put down .....OH WAIT....that was Barbaro (sorry, easy mistake), had her new series cancelled by ABC & finally she was captured & tortured by the Chinese.
Problems with leaving LA by Mr. Mcpoops	May 1st, 2007 07:35:12 PM
Won't the budget skyrocket if they take the show overseas or to a new local? Wouldn't they have to pay for lodging and feeding the crew if they shoot in a different location.? Also, I doubt Keifer wants to spend 6 months working 18 hour days far away from home and his family. He'll probably drink himself to death. Then again, they could just film it and say that it's taking place in a different location, but that would suck balls.

The Musical/Comedy Version of 24... by DarthCorleone	May 1st, 2007 07:56:20 PM
It'll never happen, but I think that is a great idea. Everybody else can parody 24. And 24 can unintentionally parody itself. Wouldn't it be fun if all the major players of 24 came back and intentionally parodied themselves for a full season? All the actors would be back from the dead spoofing themselves. The cougar could roll around on roller skates. Imagine songs the only lyrics of which are "Dammit!" "Do it now!" and/or "There's not enough time!" I wonder if Kiefer can sing.
Good call on Morris' inevitable demise... by DarthCorleone	May 1st, 2007 08:00:59 PM
...I'm thinking it won't even be a kidnap-and-die-by-torture sort of thing, though. I think Morris might intentionally give himself to the Chinese under the guise of helping them with the component. Then he'll blow them all up along with himself as a noble redemptive act for his earlier failing.

Spoiler Warning According to TV guide...someone who has been dead for a long, long time is coming back. Could it be anyone other than Tony? End Spoiler
The ratings drop... by Alonzo Mosely	May 1st, 2007 08:35:03 PM
Fox blamed it on the lead in show being Drive... They are now trying reruns of House, which will again be blamed for the dropping ratings so 24 is safe for next year no matter what... They are not going to set 24 out of the US, but they could make it out of Toronto and set it in whateverville USA and it would probably be cheaper than LA anyway. I still think that the break should have come in season 5, they had a great ending to 4, with Jack 'dead'. 5 could have had Jack anywhere in the US, and getting drawn into some terrorist or other event, and not being able to rely on CTU. Eventually he could have called on Chloe and Buchannon and Tony/Michelle and Palmer as they knew he was alive, and there we would have our special guest apperance to give us geekgasm through the season. Eventually, in the last 6 episodes of the season he could have had to fully reveal himself, reinvolve CTU, the Chinese are alerted and it ends the same way with him being kidnapped by the Chinese. Then season 6 would be Jack escaping from the Chinese, or Jack being forced on a suicide mission for the Chinese, who would kill Audrey if he didn't comply. Audrey gets killed but Jack makes it back to the US for season 7 where he now lives as a total recluse and has no time for anyone but himself. Queue natural disaster that forces Jack to reconnect with humanity as he saves lives against nature rather than bad guys, and discovers that he can feel again... Do I need to go on? Each season still utilizing the 1 day in the life, but each one taking a step further away from the CTU chasing evil terrorists idea.

TV Guide Spoiler by DarthCorleone	May 1st, 2007 10:48:42 PM
"Someone who has been dead for a long, long time?" Well, Tony hasn't been dead that long, so that doesn't sound right. The thing is that I can't think of a single deceased character on 24 that we could interpret as merely presumed dead. All the major characters that have died have dialogue or corpses onscreen to support the deaths. The Audrey "death" earlier this season was notable because of that very facet of it: it was obviously able to be forged - something we had never seen before on 24. Hence, I am extremely wary of this potential plot twist. I don't know how they'd sell it without becoming too soap-opera-ish. 24 might resort to melodrama, and it does require a substantial suspension of disbelief, but one of its greatest strengths is that it has always been grounded in very strict tragic realities, as perfectly established and encapsulated in Teri's season-one-ending death. I'd love to see Tony Almeida back as much as anyone, but the idea of bringing someone back from the dead seems dangerously close to completely undermining the 24 universe (if it hasn't been undermined already).

You might have missed it, but they did eventually put Barbaro down.
Possible spoilers by Overworkedanunderfucked	May 1st, 2007 11:41:50 PM
Supposely it is someone who has been dead for a while. It is also supposed to be VERY SHOCKING. I agree that bring back Tony does seem a bit silly and like something out of a bad soap opera. Having said that, do the writers really have any other cards to play at this point? This hasn't been a very popular season with the critics or the fans. Next year is supposed to be something very different. I think they want to throw the fans a bone and hope they win some of their audience back next season. I personally think it could go either way. I like Tony. He was never a favorite of mine but I do think his death was mishandled. And after some of the outlandish shit they have pulled this season, bringing someone back from the dead isn't that far fetched. I think any sense of realism died back when in season 3 when Tony returned to work after being shot in the neck.
Has anyone seen Chloe? by Ian Boyd	May 2nd, 2007 01:07:26 AM
Didn't anyone notice that Chloe disappeared for the last part of this episode : my prediction is that SHE gets kidnapped by the Chinese and Morris chuckles at CTU as she fixes their problem with the SD chip or whatever it is. Also the person who comes back is.... Dennis Hopper from Season 1 (crosses fingers)
regarding the possible spoiler: by Mogwai Democracy	May 2nd, 2007 01:31:32 AM
He hasn't really been dead a LONG time, but... ...Tony never got the silent clock.
Also... by Mogwai Democracy	May 2nd, 2007 01:47:31 AM
Tonys death was just weird by 24 standards. When people die on 24, they DIE. It's usually pretty cut and dry. Drazen: shot about 30 times. Chapelle: bullet to the back of the head. Nina: shot multiple times. Palmer: bullet to the throat. Edgar: nerve gas death in front of everybody. Michelle: car bomb. Mason: heroes death piloting a nuke into the desert. ...but Tony gets an injection?! First of all, we don't know what was in the syringe. Second, we don't know what kind of dose Tony got. His arm got twisted around by Henderson & he got the shot at some kind of weird angle in his chest, not exactly precision work. Did the dose go into a vein, or into a muscle? Was it enough to kill him or just put him in a coma & make him look dead? We've never heard his death referred to by any other characters (unlike David Palmer & Michelle), and of course: no silent clock. There is a lot of wiggle room there if they want to bring him back. Other than Tony, I can't really see who else they could conceivably go with.
Could be Henderson? by webmangti	May 2nd, 2007 02:23:56 AM
Has anyone seen the extended scene on the S5 DVD. To me it looks like Jack went through with the plan to fake Hendersons death.I think it would have to be him or Tony.
Very good analysis Mogwai by Overworkedanunderfucked	May 2nd, 2007 02:29:48 AM
If next season is Tony and Jack working together on something that has nothing to do with terrorism or CTU I will be very pleased. I don't care how lame or idiotic it is to bring a character back from the dead. It we get a fresh approach with some Bauer/Soulpatch action I am will for it. It sure as hell beats Drone planes and cardboard Russian stock villians. I don't really see how it could be other than Tony. Anyone else would either be too silly or too underwhelming. It is Logan then this will be lamest season finale ever.

Henderson or Tony by Overworkedanunderfucked	May 2nd, 2007 02:35:32 AM
Would be my top choices. Either one or the other or it could be Nina but they wouldn't make a damn bit of sense whatsoever.
As stupid as it was to kill Tony by The Selecter	May 2nd, 2007 04:19:06 AM
whatever explanation they could use to resurrect him would be farcical, if it were to occur. Just like when they brought "Mac" back to Magnum PI. Or Birkoff's twin in La Femme Nikita.
oh no The Selecter... by just pillow talk	May 2nd, 2007 07:12:42 AM
It would be the most believable, and well received move, the nitwits of 24 could do to save this season, nay, save this show. Don't think that when next season starts, there won't be a drop off in viewers. Bringing back Tony would get my full support. I don't care about the explanation or how they do it, just do it.
re: Henderson by Mogwai Democracy	May 2nd, 2007 07:21:45 AM
Just watched the episode on dvd. Keifer popped him twice at close range, then they showed a close up of him lying on his back with blood flowing from his mouth, not moving, at which point Keifer walked away. He was shown one more time a bit later in a split screen, lying on a stretcher, still with the blood at his mouth (he was being carted off. no one was attempting any life saving measures.) I'd say he's pretty dead.
Nina? by invaderzim365	May 2nd, 2007 07:43:19 AM
I can't remember, did Nina die on screen or off? Maybe Mason parachuted off the plane early and survived the nuke? This is a soap opera. I hope it's Tony.
How about Jack's wife? by chrth	May 2nd, 2007 07:55:11 AM
Maybe they revived her off-screen at 12:02 and she's been in a coma ever since.

Fraking Nena by fireclown	May 2nd, 2007 08:21:47 AM
Give me some delicious Myers action. Let Audrey die and have Jack hook up with the only woman he has ever loved who has been worthy. It happens right about the time when Jack finally flips to the dark side after realizing that the US doesn't give a crap about him. That, or just do away with CTU for a season. Just Jack, Chloe, Soulpatch and maybe Special Agent Spoons. CTU is chronicly dysfunctional and working at cross purposes. A four man group would work better.
24 isn't signed on for next season.. by BigTuna	May 2nd, 2007 11:07:46 AM
the 3 year deal was for Kiefer, not the show itself. Gordon admitted this on the Larry King interview they did to plug the 6th season in January. Yes, 24 still brings in solid ratings, but it's also an outrageously expensive show to produce. If it's dropped that much in the 18-49 group(the only rating that matters for advertizers) then it is a concern for FOX.

Bauer Does Chloe Bukkake-Style by Stuntcock Mike	May 2nd, 2007 12:05:38 PM

Mogwai Democracy - re: Tony... by DarthCorleone	May 2nd, 2007 03:51:06 PM
I don't think you're right about that. First, I thought that in the beginning of the very next episode we saw them put the body bag over Tony's head. I could be wrong about that, but if there's anything that signifies death, that would be it. Second, Tony's death was referred to in dialogue, and I am absolutely certain about that. Just before Jack shoots Henderson in cold blood, he invokes the names of all three of his friends that had been killed that day - Palmer, Michelle, and Tony. That all said, I've got a rather tenuous justification for bringing Tony back: CTU faked his death to protect him. There had already been an attempt on his life that day. There wasn't much time between that injection and the body bag for cooking up a plan, Jack had already been flushed out of hiding, and there's no reason Jack couldn't have been told about it, so it's still fairly ridiculous. But I guess it's an angle they could take. Given that Jack was kidnapped 12 hours later and he was embroiled in action in the field, maybe they just never got a chance to tell him. Or maybe CTU thought a vengeful Jack was a more productive Jack. :- ) That said, I still go back to the exact language of the spoiler, assuming it is correct. A "long, long time"? That doesn't sound like Tony. That sounds like season 3 or earlier.
Aaron Pierce, Agent of SHIELD!... by CatVutt	May 2nd, 2007 07:40:38 PM
Is on 'Bones' tonight, which has greatly improved from the first season by the way, if still not really committed to completely arcing it's storylines or character developments. But they've gelled into a pretty decent ensemble for a procedural. Besides, Jericho annoys me, and I actually prefer to watch the 2-hour replay of the Red Sox rather than watch another of these ridiculously long American League games live. AL games should only be 7 innings.
Tony was shown in a bodybag by Alonzo Mosely	May 2nd, 2007 10:29:57 PM
and was referred to as being dead. You can't bring him back with any sense of logic. He was originally going to die alongside Michelle at the start of the season, then they decided to stick him in a coma to have him die later when the series needed a dramatic moment. It never really worked out so they gave him the throwaway death. I have a horrible feeling it will be Logan, because he 'died' in an ambulance right at the end of an episode, he could very easily have been revived, after all he was in an ambulance. More interestingly there was never another mention of his death, and it would be the norm for Buchanon to say something in the next episode. It also wasn't mentioned in those subtle Fox News broadcast they put in every now and again. They very purposely left an opening for Logan to return. Sure he hasn't been dead for a 'long, long time' but TV guide is hardly that accurate. Otherwise who is it. Sherry Palmer? David Palmer? Nina Myers? Teri Bauer? Drazen? I mean they all got pretty clear-cut deaths. Who else? Maybe Marwan escaped his plunge with a sprained ankle or steven saunders survived being shot. I've racked my brain and I don't see one meaningful 'dead' character they could bring back without it being a blatant retcon. Still it is something to look forward to...

The way Gordon spoke last week by The Selecter	May 3rd, 2007 04:00:40 AM
24 is coming back...for better or worse. For a series that lives on plot twists, whomever the spoiler refers to must be massively surprising to have any effect. I think we're all numb it now, so short of them shooting and killing Jack, it's not going to be a big deal. And even Jack's been "dead" before.
The war angle ain't convincing by _Maltheus_	May 3rd, 2007 11:24:27 AM
The Russians would never mass for an attack on the US over a freakin' microchip. But the Heller stuff was cool. It is ridiculous that Jack should ever attempt a relationship again. He is cursed, and they better start focusing the show on that angle. He's too much of a rock and rocks are boring.
