‘You Don’t Have A
Lot Of Time!!’ 24 7.15!!

Umm, Herc... by DerSchlecteAffe	Mar 23rd, 2009 02:36:35 AM
There are, umm... 100 U.S. Senators, not 50. Nice try though. Am I first?!
by DerSchlecteAffe	Mar 23rd, 2009 02:39:37 AM
Holy crap, I was first! Ok, well...that was fun, moving on...
Well, I guess Herc won't be auditioning... by onenil	Mar 23rd, 2009 02:47:00 AM
...for "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" anytime soon.
Well... by Jinxo	Mar 23rd, 2009 02:49:26 AM
There are 99 now. And the day isn't over. Jack could get it down to 50 I'm sure.
Why are the previews... by Purple_Tentacle	Mar 23rd, 2009 02:59:55 AM
always super-wide?
Blaine Mayer, heir to the Oscar Mayer fortune. by tonagan	Mar 23rd, 2009 03:28:16 AM

Connor Trinneer by photoboy	Mar 23rd, 2009 03:55:33 AM
It's been a while since I saw this guy in anything. I wonder if his casting is anything to do with Brannon Braga...? ;)
Connor Trinneer by DerSchlecteAffe	Mar 23rd, 2009 04:00:16 AM
Actually...he had a semi-regular guest role on Startgate:Atlantis. Ok, so that's not saying much since I guess I'm one of ten's of people that watched (and liked) the show - so, nevermind then...welcome back Connor Trinneer!
Nancy Pelosi by Dave965	Mar 23rd, 2009 04:01:53 AM
is Speaker of the House, not in the Senate.
That doesn't preclude her by Hercules	Mar 23rd, 2009 04:21:50 AM
from fetching a Jack Snack!
Someone's running out of time? by BrandonGK	Mar 23rd, 2009 06:53:25 AM
Thanks for the SPOILER, ass. Seriously though I think its cool they got Trip on tonight. Maybe they can hire Jolen Blalock as a Starkwood mercenary who gets in a fight with Rack.
Speaker of the House, Keeper of the Inn... by tonagan	Mar 23rd, 2009 07:02:51 AM
Great, now I won't get that song out of my head. Thanks.
Connor Treneer was in ... by Willie3D	Mar 23rd, 2009 07:12:10 AM
Terminator: Sarah Connor Trainwreck...err ... Chronicles. Don't you remember? He was the plot device/twist/woman-beater. In addition to Stargate: Atlantis, I think he played an alien of some sort in another series. I can't recall which one, but he was made up with latex, so you wouldn't know it was him anyway. By the way, Scott "Archer" Bakula is playing "Chuck"'s father this season.
I LOVE Freckles Bauer by ZoeFan	Mar 23rd, 2009 07:29:32 AM
They're getting to the point where she's a secondary character and I don't like it. BOOHOO
Freckles is doing a hell of an acting job by Thrillho77	Mar 23rd, 2009 07:37:31 AM
and she's got a great rack. They're shaped just right and they bounce nicely. A+ stuff.
Trip has been doing a lot of procedural guest roles by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 07:38:31 AM
He was an Eric Rudolph-style character on Numb3rs a couple seasons back, and was in the Luke Perry polygamy cult episode of Criminal Minds as an FBI(?) guy.
Rack Bauer jokes aside. by BrandonGK	Mar 23rd, 2009 07:40:09 AM
Its nice to have a chick on 24 who falls into a category other than idiot, bitchy, or victim.
Actually there are 99 Senators right now by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 07:40:27 AM
Still awaiting final word on the Franken-Coleman (I think that's the other dude's name) debacle.
BrandonGK: Whoa, are you dissing Chloe? by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 07:53:03 AM
She's not bitchy. She's just honest and speaks her mind.
And what about Michelle Dessler? by tonagan	Mar 23rd, 2009 07:57:54 AM
She started out as a whiny victim, but kicked serious butt in Season 3 (of course, then they had to go and kill her, which I will never, ever, forgive them for).
Yes Chloe's awesome by BrandonGK	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:05:11 AM
So was Michelle. Don't stone me guys.
tonagan: are you sure? by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:12:59 AM
For all we know she'll turn up next season working for Emerson
The villians next season by BrandonGK	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:17:27 AM
will be a terror cell comprised of Michelle, David Palmer Ryan Chapelle, and Teri who are all angry at America for wrongly being declared dead and accidentally buried alive.
BrandonGK: I by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:35:56 AM

BrandonGK: I'd watch that by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:36:37 AM
Although what I really want is a prequel season set during the David Palmer years.
Dessler by pinkfloyd2000	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:34:36 AM
She ain't dead, guys. She's back in 1977, in the Dharma Initiative.
Is the First Gentleman dead? by Garbageman33	Mar 23rd, 2009 10:36:42 AM
Or has he just been hanging out with Tony Almeida for the last few episodes? And why doesn't the president (or their daughter) seem to care? I enjoy table crumpling choke slams as much as the next guy, but that may have been one storyline too many.
The First Gentleman... by Craftybear	Mar 23rd, 2009 10:43:01 AM
will awake from surgery around Midnight-1 A.M to lay the smackdown on Olivia, who will have been involved in his son's death somehow. Not a spoiler, just a prediction...because what else can they do with his character?
Chloe is awesome... by palooka_boy	Mar 23rd, 2009 10:46:45 AM
but still kind of bitchy.
Willie3D by nobunaga209	Mar 23rd, 2009 11:07:59 AM
Wait..Chuck as in NBC Chuck's father or Chuck as in chic from Pushing Daisies??? Either way he better not be in drag...just sayin...
Attn: Herc............. by We_Are_Trapper_Keeper	Mar 23rd, 2009 11:31:27 AM
You're supposed to put some inviso-text in these articles. I really look forward to that dammit!
woot by Whatcokes982	Mar 23rd, 2009 12:02:07 PM
This season is on fire. Thankfully Tony gets back into the action tonight. He's shady as all hell though.
We're getting beaten by the Stargate: Voyager TB? by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 12:20:40 PM
This is the problem with a show being solid. Fans are content to enjoy the ride without being overly enthusiastic, and haters have nothing to say.
So, Trip's gonna be in this episode, eh? by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 23rd, 2009 12:31:02 PM

Chesty Freckles girl FBI Agent! by Xiphos_2	Mar 23rd, 2009 12:32:16 PM
Run Renee run! preferably in a wet t-shirt again. Nice Juggs!
Herc, I think you were looking for Harry Reid, not Pilosi by Rob0729	Mar 23rd, 2009 01:58:13 PM
Personally, at this rate, I hoping that Jack Baer can get everyone in both houses bumped off so the country can start over and get competent people this time around. Doesn't matter which side of the isle these people sit. I don't know if there is a single brain in the entire House of Representives. There might be a brain and a half in the Senate. Sorry, enough politicizing.
Minority by NudeandAroused	Mar 23rd, 2009 03:30:48 PM
I realize that I am in the minority here. This season has been absurd and really silly. Nothing, nothing at all is original, except for one thing. Jack's dilemma. Does he go too far? That is when the shows have some depth. Otherwise, there has been nothing in this show at all that is original or the least bit entertaining. I usually watch "Top Gear" instead of this or "Heroes."
24 and lost in ireland killed by bad scheduling. by emeraldboy	Mar 23rd, 2009 03:39:47 PM
24 and lost were shown in Ireland back to back on a sunday night. On sky one. That was fine and dandy. On rte Lost was shown on Monday night. and was like that for years. It was very much a regular thing something that irish viewers got used to. Then it all changed this year. Sky moved 24 hours to a monday night slot. at 9pm. Why they did this I have no idea. However the most irritating thing is that RTE moved Lost to the sunday night slot up against Lost on sky one at 9pm. I think this is utter lunacy and make no sense whatsoever. Two shows on at the same time on the same day is just nuts. I wish that Rte would also show 4 at a reasonable time like say ten pm. This is why I am loosing at on both show that I have watched since their inception. GRRRR
Hey Nude, The Jack Bulldozer attack? by Monkeybrains	Mar 23rd, 2009 06:46:05 PM
that and the new accessory for the Jack Sack: The Jack Baur Ultimate Screwdriver!! Kill your enemy and start a car, all with one swift motion Now that's entertainment
Hmm Freckles eh? Copying Lost are we? by tangcameo	Mar 23rd, 2009 06:56:49 PM
Hmmm let's see 1. Guy named Jack. Check 2. Freckle-faced babe. Check 3. Bug eyed villian (Papa Jolie used to be a bit bug eyed in his Deliverance moustache days). Check. Now all we need is to get Tony to die his hair blonde and not shave. To bring back Edgar and get him to gain some more weight and not shave too often. And get some Irish/Australian/Canadian accented guy to call Jack Laddy/Mate/HowsitgoinEh every once in a while. Then make Chloe blonde, pregnant, Korean and an Other.
oh ya and bring Bill back... by tangcameo	Mar 23rd, 2009 06:57:53 PM
...and shave his head and beard.
Chloe's Global warming comercial.....Wtf by Kampy0jay	Mar 23rd, 2009 07:14:16 PM
I don't even know what to say, was that a joke?
Damn, for a second there I thought Ethan was going by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:04:56 PM

The First Lady lives! by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:05:55 PM

This is kind of stupid by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:08:34 PM
If Jack wanted to kill Senator Mayer, why not kill him during the firefight at the White House? Too much sharing of the idiot stick here.
Call in Mike Novick! by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:10:36 PM

TRIP! by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:11:27 PM

Ugh by Rob in WI	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:13:56 PM
Trip isn't making it to the next hour, thanks to the classic "this is the wife, so you'll feel sorry when he dies" lead in.
Rare use of the contraction "mightn't" by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:16:21 PM

Well by Rob in WI	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:20:14 PM
Once Jack lays it out like that, I'm sure Trip will just buy right into it.
Trip is a sellout! by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:21:22 PM
He's just trying to make money to repair a transporter
Cavorting in the decon chamber by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:21:47 PM

Death by? by Rob in WI	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:23:15 PM
Getting shot by Jack? Getting shot by Tony? Getting shot by Terrorist? Which do you think is how Trip dies?
We don't want your excuses blah blah blah by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:23:25 PM

Rob: Isn't it obvious? by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:24:42 PM
Pirates after Shran, of course. Great, now I just punched a hole in the wall. Thanks for dredging up old memories.
Cast of TNG on Family Guy! by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:26:06 PM

Trip is here for a reason folks... Kinda miss Jericho sometimes, that show was really starting to heat up.
RIP Carl. by CatVutt	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:28:26 PM
Execution style? In a crossfire? How's he gonna buy it?
A lot of blah blah blah in this episode by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:31:13 PM

And here's the reveal. by CatVutt	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:32:20 PM
Knew it. Fucking Olivia.
Who was that guy? by Shermdawg	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:33:15 PM
He's been in something.
I knew Sherry Palmer, I was friends with Sherry Palmer by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:33:16 PM
And you, Olivia, are no Sherry Palmer
Shermdawg: Apparently not Olivia's pants by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:33:51 PM
But hey he's trying
raystevensonwarzone: he was going to, but was jammed by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:35:00 PM

Opie would kick his ass if he got in her pants. by Shermdawg	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:35:16 PM
No one fucks his dead wife. NO ONE.
Why don't by Rob in WI	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:36:49 PM
they just have him wear a red shirt and get it over with.
Y'know what had better writing than recent Losts... by Shermdawg	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:37:02 PM
....and more suspence and action than tonight's 24? Last week's Supernatural. That's what.
Moss is growing a brain! by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:37:16 PM

Why didn't Jack just send the guy's pic... by Shermdawg	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:38:42 PM
...and the location of his body?
THERE WAS NO TIME! by CatVutt	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:39:17 PM
DAMMIT!
It'd take like a minute. by Shermdawg	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:39:56 PM

Nice musical cue. by CatVutt	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:40:08 PM

Jack's going to save Trip! by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:41:07 PM

"Two against nine." by CatVutt	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:41:46 PM

WTF?? by Rob in WI	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:41:59 PM
When did Jack... um.... care? There's NO WAY this decision even comes UP 6 seasons ago.
"Two against Nine" by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:41:59 PM

Aw, the Senator got to Jack by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:42:51 PM

He fucking shot by Rob in WI	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:43:30 PM
Black Bauer! Chappelle!... Fuck that.
No, wait... by CatVutt	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:43:35 PM
Don't forget...Jack saved Chloe's friend early in Season 4 too. He took a chance there. He should've let the kid die.
The Ghost of Ryan Chapelle has been angry all season by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:44:23 PM
No reason to change now
A great twist would be Jack gets the truck by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:45:34 PM
and uses the weapons himself!
Hey, was that... by CatVutt	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:45:47 PM
Who was that?
JONES! by CatVutt	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:46:08 PM

isn't that the point of this season? by Whatcokes982	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:46:54 PM
to show that Jack's methods have cost him too much? If he just keeps killing/letting everyone die, then that shows absolutely no growth whatsoever, and this season would have been a wash. It's especially good considering it came right after last week's talk w/ Senator Mayer.
JONES? by Shermdawg	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:47:41 PM

Think Tony's time may be up by seagrass	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:49:09 PM
this time. Dammit!
By saving Trip, Jack fixed the 24th century by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:49:12 PM
We've been saved from the Denobulan menace yet again!
At least Trip didn't die again by lockesbrokenleg	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:50:12 PM

As in Indiana. by CatVutt	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:50:37 PM
Throwing the guy out of the truck. n/m
Did Braga write this episode? by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:50:52 PM
Maybe he's trying to make up for it
Oh, Indy. by Shermdawg	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:51:38 PM
Thought you were talking about one of the bad guy actors.
According to this diagnostic panel ... by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:52:26 PM
Solo is still alive?
Yuh oh by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:52:50 PM

I think this season has definitely by seagrass	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:53:06 PM
been about Jack's gradual return to humanity. It's hard to sympathize with a completely remorseless killer/torturer (as cool as he may be).
"East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'..." by tonagan	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:53:10 PM

That distraction just cost Jack by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:53:40 PM

JACK INHALED AND ONLY HAS 48 HOURS TO LIVE NOW! by CatVutt	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:54:17 PM
This season and next!
Jack didn't need Moss ... by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:54:31 PM
he needed the Bandit!

They totally should've done the silent clock by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:57:14 PM
That would've been a nice touch to freak out everybody
I am Jack's melting skin by seagrass	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:57:40 PM
Is that proof enough for ya, Moss??
Jack Bauer? by mr_macphisto	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:58:08 PM
Or George Mason? You decide.
I BET YOU FIVE DOLLARS... by Shermdawg	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:58:13 PM
Jack will get sick, and have to settle down with Rack, and will be Tony's Bill next season. TONY GETS THE SPOTLIGHT NEXT YEAR.
You know... by CatVutt	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:58:14 PM
That really would be a GREAT Season 8. "DOA" style. Jack's basically DEAD and just trying to solve one last crisis.
I know it's deadly by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:58:41 PM
But I do wish there was a Denny's nearby
I want to cry by wcme	Mar 23rd, 2009 08:58:48 PM
I have the overpowering urge to bawl like a baby! What the hell kind of writing does that to a grown man! Poor jack! Hes been exposed! This is AWESOME shit!
USA vs Starkwood!!!! by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:00:27 PM
What was the line the doc says about Bauer at the end of the preview?
And Herc said to watch Heroes instead by seagrass	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:01:29 PM
Really bad advice there. Glad I didn't/never listen.
Well by Rob in WI	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:02:26 PM
Not as good as the last few hours... but I love the idea of Jack going out George Mason style.
I don't think Jack could have driven the truck by seagrass	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:02:55 PM
into the water/off the road...he didn't know what he was carrying, and the contaminated water/air could have ended up killing a lot of people.
Question about next week's preview by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:03:17 PM
What's the final line said when they're showing Jack? I couldn't make it out and they don't caption previews (dammit!)
chrth by Joe Mannix Jr.	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:05:02 PM
I think it was something about the results of his blood work being in or complete.
chrth by RueDBaga	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:05:46 PM
The final line was: "We have the results of Mr. Bauer's blood work."
Thanks guys by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:06:22 PM

Impossible by maelstrom_ZERO	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:07:14 PM
There's no way Jack is exposed. What was probably in the canister was just some sort of cooling agent to ensure optimal stable temperature. It's nothing but a cheap way to raise dramatic tension. Because, you know, the writers of 24 aren't ballsy enough to actually have Bauer infected. That being said, I kind of wish that Bauer was infected. Not that I want him dead, but it'd at least add a certain amount of personal desperation that would make the rest of the day interesting.
So next week starts USA vs Starkwood ... so that means by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:08:04 PM
There has to be another plot beyond that one. Olivia-driven? Or someone behind Jon Voight. PS: Voight's assistant needs to learn another expression besides 'worried'. You'd think he spent a few seasons starring on a show where the main character only had one expression. Oh wait ...
according to spoilers... by Whatcokes982	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:14:09 PM
Jack was indeed exposed. That's why Kim comes back into the picture. Since they're releasing the season 7 DVD so soon after the season ends, the deleted/extended scene list was leaked online. One of them had Renee calling Kim to tell her Jack is sick in episode 18.
Jack will be sick through the season by Darth_Valinorean	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:16:50 PM
.... and the cliffhanger for the season end will be a super sick Jack giving it his all and we have to wait for next season to figure out if he makes it...
So Olivia's newsbuddy runs the story at 11 by chrth	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:22:25 PM
That Jack Bauer is accused of murdering the Senator. Then gets one-upped when another news source finds out Jack's no longer accused. Will he be pissed, or still hold out hope for some First Daughter action?
Whatcokes982, you are a fucking nimrod by tiredpm	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:31:09 PM
Do you think posting leaked spoilers into a Talkback is either cool or sensible in any way? Allow me to provide an answer for you: No. Thanks for being a prick. Of course, if that's not the case, my apologies. But, if it is true, go get fucked by a cattle prod.
raystevensonwarzone... by tiredpm	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:37:25 PM
...the apology is in my post if that's made up crap. The point is, though, dropping a post that might be a complete ruiner for future episodes is moronic. And if it turns out to be true then it's fucking shit beyond belief.
Talkback = Spoilers by Kampy0jay	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:46:43 PM
Dont read if u care that much to ruin your night + a post revealing that jack is infected after an episode of which the cliff hanger is jack gets exposed isn't a spoiler. Or that his daughter comes back since it is known.
SPOILER!! by Kampy0jay	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:51:19 PM
After a phone call about jack being sick, kim gets thrust into the days events and into life altering trouble. Jack is faced with an impossible choice that may effect her life and what is left of his...and the world. Then decides to explore the earth 2 alone after freckles vanishes (angel???)
I hate spoiler whiners by lockesbrokenleg	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:52:28 PM
The fucking net is covered with you people. Shut the fuck up and dont read the net if you dont want spoilers. Shitheads. You ruin websites with your no spoiler shit. Fuck, what are we supposed to talk about? Fucking last week? You people make me sick!
Behrooz by Drop Zone	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:54:08 PM
is gonna come back and kick everyone's ass next season. Except Jack's and Rack's.
I apologize...BUT by Whatcokes982	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:58:03 PM
What exactly did I spoil? We all SAW Jack get exposed. All I did was refute the notion that he got burned by some stupid coolant. I don't know if it's fatal, etc. As for Kim coming back, that's been widely reported for months. Hardly a spoiler.
Behrooz!! by Kampy0jay	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:59:21 PM
Jack lies dying while Behrooz, wayne palmer, one hand chase, Agent Pierce try to find the cure and save the world.......did Behrooz kill someone with a shovel and then just go away? He was badass.
Don't apologize Whatcokes982 by Kampy0jay	Mar 23rd, 2009 10:00:57 PM
Just say fuck off.
FOUR "Dammit!"s tonight by Nasty In The Pasty	Mar 23rd, 2009 10:05:56 PM
And one "NOW!!!"
I like how Trip by carnosauerkraut	Mar 23rd, 2009 10:33:02 PM
sort of looked around nervously, gave a half-hearted wave and then high-tailed it out of there after Jack saved his sorry ass. I thought he would at least grab the gun from Jack-induced Dead Guy No. 932 and get a few shots in.
Jack is toxic by Titus05	Mar 23rd, 2009 10:40:06 PM
so it's obvious what's coming next...Jack needs some kind of transplant or live saving blood transfusion which only Kim Bauer can supply...so that is how she will get re-introduced into the mix...I remember an interview where they stated that Kim's return would not involve her being kidnapped or any other sort of trouble but would be about saving someone else...so is Jack gonna be out of action the rest of the season recuperating while Tony and Freckles do all the heavy lifting?
Maybe Freckles and Kim get "close," yes? Please??? by YackBacker	Mar 23rd, 2009 11:16:30 PM
I should write TV shows!
Next week's episode with Renee by Anino	Mar 24th, 2009 12:13:53 AM
Renee will be in a holding cell, talking to herself about some conversation she had with Jack, recalling how she slapped him twice. Then a pigeon will fly in and she'll start swiping at it with a chair, mumbling, "Frakkin bird!"

Fucking sweet episode, this season kicks ass! by bullet3	Mar 24th, 2009 12:56:12 AM
Ok, this season is just blowing me away now. Its now #2 in my book behind the perfect season 5, and who knows, if they keep this pace up it might become my favorite. Its like during the writer's strike, the writers decided to ditch the usual conventions and boil the show down to everyones favorite parts. They keep changing things up every episode, you never feel (like in the begininning of this season) like you're waiting for a predictable arc to play out anymore, now, every episode they're just tossing new shit at you. And they have fantastic action sequences again. And they have tony and jack kicking ass together. And they have an awesome female sidekick for jack. And they Jon Voight as an awesome villain. Everything has really come together now, I guess they realized they had something to prove after season 6.
assassination by Gidney	Mar 24th, 2009 01:42:40 AM
Gotta love Voight's delivery on the lines about political assassination being a growth sector they might want to consider.
I think it's safe to say Moss isn't a Mole by chrth	Mar 24th, 2009 07:19:14 AM
Unless he's Charles Logan 2.0, because he got the clueless dolt down pat. Obviously clearing Jack didn't benefit Starkwood, so if Moss is moling for someone it has to be whomever is "after Quinn" (I'm presuming it's not going to take 9 episodes to deal with Starkwood).
Don't worry about Jack by The McPoyle Clan	Mar 24th, 2009 07:27:18 AM
He can get a blood transfusion from Tony or the First Gentleman, who both have super-healing powers. If they can't bust Tony out, Claire will fly out from Costa Verde...meanwhile Habib Marwan has been spotted at Buy More Nice little head fake they pulled with the preggo wife. And Voight rockin' the bluetooth. Is it safe to say that 24 is back?
The last 5 hours have been fantastic by BigTuna	Mar 24th, 2009 07:37:36 AM
I like season 7 overall, but they've really hit a groove the last few hours. It's been incredibly exciting. Back the way it gelt the first 4 seasons.
This Season Is Starting to rock pretty hard by Crow3711	Mar 24th, 2009 08:15:18 AM
I'm a big, big fan of all this inner-turmoil, actually questioning yourself type of theme they are going for in this season. it's about time Jack has to really look at some of the things he does. The scene last night with the innocent security guard did a great job of this, even if it was a little "video-game" style to choose between letting him die and shooting the henchmen. The way he just said thank you and ran off and disappeared seemed like a choice in Grant Theft Auto to me, but it still worked. I'm glad Jack refused to let him die. Some of the politico, white house stuff is less itneresting than other seasons, and the First Daughter is the most annoying character since Kim (in a different way), but 24 is back in a big way. I'm just pissed Rack Bauer is stuck in a holding cell for 3 episodes. She is so hot, but she nothing to do! Lame.
Uh-Oh, Jack inhaled the Super-Soldier serum... by We_Are_Trapper_Keeper	Mar 24th, 2009 08:35:25 AM
The CDC is taking him in for the "Vita-Rays" treatment.
P.S. by We_Are_Trapper_Keeper	Mar 24th, 2009 08:36:34 AM
I agree w/ Crow3711. Get Rack outta that damn cell dammit!
Hope Jack... by Gidney	Mar 24th, 2009 08:44:10 AM
Atones for his softness in saving the security guard which lead to his potential exposure to the bugs, Starkwood's continued possession of the bugs and acceleration of their planned use, and Tony's beatdown and coming torture. Bottom line: it doesn't pay to be a nice guy. Hope Moss appreciates the effort. Maybe he'll offer Jack his extra tampon and a DVD of Beaches as an attempt at bonding.
Free Rack! by BrandonGK	Mar 24th, 2009 08:49:54 AM

Who played Douglas Knowles in tonight's episode? by chimpjnr	Mar 24th, 2009 08:58:51 AM
The Chairman of Starkwood - the guy who Voight spoke to after the meeting. Who plays him? I recognize him from something but can't remember what. He reminds me a bit of Dexter's dad from, well, "Dexter", though I know it's not him. Anyone?
Good ep. Missed the Jackdozer though. by Stuntcock Mike	Mar 24th, 2009 09:31:05 AM

Gidney... by allykatD	Mar 24th, 2009 10:10:53 AM
Yep, best line of the night from Jon Voight. I had to replay that line twice it was so damn funny. I nominate Jon Voight for best '24' villian. He such an evil class act. Brilliant casting and hell of a episode! Easily one of the best '24' seasons ever.
24 Fans by NudeandAroused	Mar 24th, 2009 12:42:02 PM
Sutherland has just announced that he is coming back for an eighth season. Guess that puts to rest any suspicion about whatever toxin he inhaled last night.
Raiders of the Lost WMD by Jack Burton	Mar 24th, 2009 12:57:10 PM
Anyone else catch the "Raiders" like moments in this episode? When the crane is first lifting the container the music is ominous and sounds a lot like the Desert Chase theme in Raiders. Then Jack shoots the crane operator who appears to slump on the controls and the crane starts spinning and smashing into stuff (like the Flying Wing in Raiders), and finally jack boards a truck and throws the driver out in a shot that looks identical to when Indy did it. All that was missing was for Jack to get shot in the arm and thrown out the window (I'm guessing they left that out due to budget). Just thought this was more than coincidence.
Yup it's Tony's turn to get tortured by BigTuna	Mar 24th, 2009 01:45:36 PM
In all these years, he hasn't been horribly tortured. It's his time.
Filming for season 8 starts in May by BigTuna	Mar 24th, 2009 01:46:44 PM
They already have a script, and will start shooting it months early.
Prequel Series! Palmer! Mason! Sherry! Milo! by chrth	Mar 24th, 2009 01:52:03 PM

... and a young ambitious senator named by chrth	Mar 24th, 2009 01:52:26 PM
Charles Logan
Three great lines this ep by Cartagia	Mar 24th, 2009 02:00:40 PM
Voights line about assassination. "Two against nine" And that GREAT "DAMMIT!" after they stole the container.
Whoops, apparently not a Senator by chrth	Mar 24th, 2009 02:01:15 PM
Governor of Cali? Not sure what's canon about Logan, except for the fact that no matter what he was AWESOME.
Chimpjnr by Wazoo	Mar 24th, 2009 02:20:24 PM
The chairman guy was Starkwood was played by Chris Mulkey, who played Norma's ex-con husband Hank Jennings on Twin Peaks.
chrth, you include Chase, and I'm there. by Shermdawg	Mar 24th, 2009 05:07:12 PM
Actually, when the crap are they gonna get Desmond from Lost back to follow up on that teaser from season five?
the first gent by Dradis Contact	Mar 24th, 2009 05:17:16 PM
Who gives a shit about the president's husband? I want a show of hands.
and then the other thing by Dradis Contact	Mar 24th, 2009 05:21:46 PM
When the CDC gets there, I want them to discover that his shortness of breath and eye irritation are just because he hasn't been getting enough sleep.
BSG / 24 Crossover by InActionMan	Mar 24th, 2009 06:08:28 PM
Jack Bauer needs BSG's In-Head Six to appear to him and tell him what to do.
Thanks so much Wazoo by chimpjnr	Mar 24th, 2009 09:58:52 PM
It's been driving me nuts since last night, and not amount of googling got me anywhere.
Actually.. by Rich Malone	Mar 25th, 2009 07:57:36 AM
I think that was in season 4, Sherm...I know you're usually on it, though..just thought I'd help!
Re: Jack Burton by Zath_ras	Mar 25th, 2009 06:43:00 PM
Good calls. When the dock cue played, I was like, "good music", then "where have I heard that before?" It took me about 10 seconds to tell my wife it sounded like the Raiders truck chase music. Then when the crane started going nuts, I said, "Wow, that's like a Spielberg set piece". And then the truck... well, you know. Glad I'm not alone. A few episodes back, the composer lifted a dramatic cue from James Horner, one that he used in Apollo 13 and other films.
I can't understand how anyone could not like this show.... by Cisco Dyke	Mar 26th, 2009 03:36:35 AM
Unless they don't like action/thriller stuff in general. KS is a GREAT actor. I can't think of a film/show where he's mailed it in. His commitment is what makes the show at all believable for me. He ruled in Freeway.
