FIRST! by Amazing Maurice	Mar 30th, 2009 02:02:15 AM

Yes.... by Amazing Maurice	Mar 30th, 2009 02:03:03 AM
I'm a child
Bauer is powerless by Titus05	Mar 30th, 2009 02:04:15 AM
looking at the guest cast---Aaron Pierce is back tonight!...woot woot!
Amazing Maurice by Titus05	Mar 30th, 2009 02:05:40 AM
you're only first because I let you
Trip is back! by lockesbrokenleg	Mar 30th, 2009 02:17:59 AM
I bet he works with Tony
Herc said to tape 24 & watch Heroes last week. by Shermdawg	Mar 30th, 2009 02:25:23 AM
I'm guessing it was so we could relive the awesomeness of last week's episode, because that much ballyhooed Fuller-ized Heroes installment didn't deserve a second viewing, that's for sure.
A week behind by ides	Mar 30th, 2009 02:43:19 AM
Thank god for dvr. Only one truly bad season (6), glad this one is keeping a decent course.
"I bet he works with Tony" by Shermdawg	Mar 30th, 2009 02:44:48 AM
How can anyone be working with Tony at the moment?
Last weeks ep... by ZAM1138	Mar 30th, 2009 02:44:58 AM
I find it a little improbable that a freakin' helicopter could just air-lift that big chemical/bomb thing in no time flat AND just fly off with no one tracking it! YOU'RE IN WASHINGTON D.C.! Shouldn't the airspace around the NATION'S CAPITOL be monitored just a little bit better?? As if the USAF wouldn't be on that "unknown chopper" like white on rice. I know, I know. It's only TV. But I digress...
I mean he helps Tony by lockesbrokenleg	Mar 30th, 2009 02:52:33 AM
I bet he comes back to the site to rescue Tony at the last minute, or something happens and they have to work together
But Tony's no longer... by Shermdawg	Mar 30th, 2009 02:57:05 AM
...at the site, and why would Trip go to the place where the people that tried to kill him are hanging out at....assuming he even knew where that place may be. He's a run of the mill security guard. If anything, he'll be questioned by Moss, and I doubt he even knows Tony was kidnapped. They didn't show him watching it go down, and they don't do flashbacks.
Freckles will probably question Trip by BrandonGK	Mar 30th, 2009 03:11:12 AM
and find out that Jack saved his life and cause her to fall in love with him even more.
That's what she said. by tonagan	Mar 30th, 2009 03:16:15 AM

Trip by FastEddie8139	Mar 30th, 2009 03:16:49 AM
I bet the only reason Trip could be back is because nobody can be allowed to escape the "Jack Bauer is the Angel of Death for all one-off guest stars" rule. He'll fall over and impale his brain on a metal spike or something.
Brannon Braga keeps old Trek stars working by Heckles	Mar 30th, 2009 03:36:31 AM
Trip, Dr. Bashir, Ensign Ro, Captain Maxwell, Kurn, Admiral Black, Zefram Cochrane, Ensign Burke... probably missed a few.
Forget Jack's blood panel by The McPoyle Clan	Mar 30th, 2009 04:02:55 AM
I wanna see Harry's after his latest piece. I think it's a good call about Trip playing cupid.
EvilWizardGlick: Maybe Barney Frank will make a cameo by AshokZero	Mar 30th, 2009 07:03:27 AM

"a new perspective" can mean only one thing ... by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 07:10:08 AM
the return of Mike Novick!!!!!! (I hope)
ZAM1138: Actually, it's not DC (and guest cast) by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 07:12:44 AM
They were in Alexandria last week. Granted, Alexandria may be included in DC airspace monitoring, but no guarantees. Re: Trip's return. They've screwed up in previous episodes with listing the wrong guest cast (Juma after he was dead, for example). It's possible Trip's not on tonight.
The Next Plot by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 07:17:26 AM
The US Military is going after Starkwood ... so there has to be another plot beyond this one. Olivia? Naked Mandy? Olivia cavorting with Naked Mandy? The Return of David Palmer? Or Zombie Ryan Chappelle killing everyone?
I LOVE Freckles Bauer by ZoeFan	Mar 30th, 2009 07:37:44 AM
Can she become a main character again? Please.
The 24 Jack Bauer Power Hour is ON again 2night! by wcme	Mar 30th, 2009 08:20:59 AM
This is once again must see tv. Previous season characters guest starts, great stunts, a plot that has not lagged since the "new' eps started after hour 8, solid new characters, great Bad Guys, and Rack Bauer!!! What is not to love!! I agree, Its almost at season 5 levels, and we got many hours left to go!!!!!!!!!
Jack Bauer will torture this weaponized gas for information! by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 30th, 2009 08:25:57 AM

Forget HEROES...watch MAGIC'S BIGGEST SECRETS REVEALED!! by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 30th, 2009 08:27:07 AM

Nobody talks about that show anyway! :) by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 30th, 2009 08:33:07 AM

I love Freckles Bauer, too. by allykatD	Mar 30th, 2009 09:41:43 AM
Well written power women are so rare. They're either written as a man with a women in the role (Starbuck in BSG), or so cold that we don't care (Olivia Dunham) or bitchy and nasty (take your pick). I haven't enjoyed a female role like this since Sydney Bristow (Alias). Can't wait for tonight's show!
Jack's got the perfect opportunity now... by K00m0	Mar 30th, 2009 09:47:51 AM
...to take a much deserved leak in the bushes. Dammit!
oh gawd... my roommate flips to MAGIC'S BIGGEST SECRETS by turketron	Mar 30th, 2009 10:02:11 AM
During the commercials on 24... that shit is awful. Mitch Peleggi needs to be slapped up for those ridiculously corny puns he does during his narration. Ok, enough about that... can't wait for tonight's ridiculous awesomeness that is 24! The only hour of live television that I dedicate during the week aside from Lost!
Freckles Bauer is perfect by ZoeFan	Mar 30th, 2009 10:23:29 AM
Good on the eyes. Womanly yet forceful. Annie Wersching should be a busy actress because of her work on 24. Plus with her background, she would be perfect for any musical out there.
Heroes?? by skydemon	Mar 30th, 2009 11:52:35 AM
Oh yea, I remember that show. It's still on the air? Anyway, BAUER IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT!!! YEEEAAAAAAAA!!! :)
The Angel Of Death rule... by DarthCorleone	Mar 30th, 2009 12:17:54 PM
...might not apply to Trip, given that Jack finally gave in to his conscience in the moment and put the life of one above the lives of many more. Sure, eventually anyone near Jack is doomed, but that was an important narrative moment in the show's mythos, and I was impressed they still had something that significant in the 24 bag of tricks. Jack is starting to crack.
You know who could kick Jack Bauer's ass? by HoboCode	Mar 30th, 2009 12:48:22 PM
Goran Suton.
President's daughter.. by ShogunMaster	Mar 30th, 2009 01:20:32 PM
As much as I like Freckles, I think I'd do some pretty dirty things with the P.D. first. However, if I could somehow get P.D., Freckles, Kim and Naked Mandy all into the same soup... Well, that's just a tasty meal...
Freckles by Craftybear	Mar 30th, 2009 01:41:58 PM
can't end up in a romantic relationship with Jack if we want to see her around next season (ask Teri, the Salazar floozy, or Audrey Raines.) Jack is the angel of Death. What would be really surprising is if she makes it to the end of the day without sacrificing herself to save the now-incapacitated Bauer. And I don't think things look that great for Kim, either. Just sayin'.
ZAM1138 by smackfu	Mar 30th, 2009 03:04:30 PM
I suspect that the USAF does not track the airspace 50 ft above the telephone wires.
the president's daughter... by allykatD	Mar 30th, 2009 04:05:49 PM
OMG, she is horrible. I cringe whenever she's in a scene. I wonder if she is going to have a run-in with Jack. That'd make her STFU real quick. She's so nasty, that even though she is an attractive woman, her bitchiness makes her ugly. Maybe Freckles need to slap her down instead of Jack. Yeah, that's it.
IT'S "RACK BAUER". NOT "FRECKLES". by Shermdawg	Mar 30th, 2009 04:33:24 PM
Just like Curtis was "Black Bauer".
Chloe had quite a rack herself... by Banditmania	Mar 30th, 2009 04:38:17 PM
...when she was on 2 weeks aga.
Sherm... by mr_macphisto	Mar 30th, 2009 04:41:19 PM
...so would that make Chase Edmunds HACK BAUER? See, cuz he...cuz he got his hand cut off...and...cough.
Boobs Bauer by lockesbrokenleg	Mar 30th, 2009 05:43:24 PM

2 hours! by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 06:03:50 PM

The gas will turn Jack into "The HULK". by otm shank	Mar 30th, 2009 06:08:49 PM
Don't get him angry. "BAUER SMASH!!!"
I'm Loving Monday nights... by echobase	Mar 30th, 2009 06:15:48 PM
After the latest episode airs in the UK, we are at the same time as the US... not for long but enough to be able to log onto chats and blogs without getting spoilers!! I'm loving 24 this season, I really am... and I'm already suffering thinking that next season is going to be the last one
I don't like the nickname Rack Bauer... by allykatD	Mar 30th, 2009 06:38:11 PM
and I don't care if it's the 'trend', it's a demeaning name for an awesome character like Renee Walker so I'll keep calling her Freckles Bauer. "Rack" is not a nickname you give to someone that you like. I can see you calling her that if you don't like her. Maybe it's a guy thing... maybe they think it's cute or cool or something, but being a woman, I'm not going to call a character that I really really like a sexist crappy name.
allykatD... by FrecklesBauer	Mar 30th, 2009 06:41:38 PM
Amen to that, sister.

Renee is the best thing to happen to women on 24 by BrandonGK	Mar 30th, 2009 07:54:55 PM
since a young Michelle Dessler donned a leather jacket and went out for a night on the town at the Chandler Plaza hotel.

"I've had these scars"... is just a great line.
Does Tony do the U.S. Cellular commercials? by Shermdawg	Mar 30th, 2009 08:06:22 PM

What Jack should've done by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 08:06:28 PM
Disabled the alarm, and let Starkwood reacquire

My grandmother smacked me ... once.
Wonderful by Rob in WI	Mar 30th, 2009 08:09:45 PM

This was SCREAMING for a Mike Novick name drop.
How did this idiot get elected?!? by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 08:11:52 PM

chrth by Rob in WI	Mar 30th, 2009 08:13:52 PM
Did you meet the last President?
How the hell do you not call in Mike Novick? by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 08:15:05 PM
I think Olivia is involved with Starkwood (I know, "Duh")
Wasn't the last president the Green Lantern? by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 08:15:43 PM
His predecessor, Charles Logan, was a genius par excellence.
SHOCKER! by Amazing Maurice	Mar 30th, 2009 08:15:58 PM
24 makes stuff up! http://tinyurl.com/clz9gz Still, Howard Gordon offers a tantalising comment that next season will NOT be set in DC. Where will 24 go for the final season? Any takers?
Oh wait, Green Lantern was 3 presidents ago by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 08:16:30 PM
My goodness they go through a lot of Presidents.
Ruměnec Bauer! by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 08:17:18 PM

Just leave us hanging, why don't you.
So by Rob in WI	Mar 30th, 2009 08:25:58 PM
Was that good news or bad news? I'm confuseded.
Oh, and I don't really need to see Kim. by CatVutt	Mar 30th, 2009 08:26:27 PM
Seriously, this season is going along just fine without her. Naked Mandy? Okay. Kim? No thanks.

Doesn't change the fact that it's Arby's
I could always by Rob in WI	Mar 30th, 2009 08:29:33 PM
go with more naked Mandy or Naked Kim for that matter.

He's infected?!? by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 08:30:30 PM
Now he definitely can't donate blood.

Naked Jack, more Naked Rack.

The antigen will be revealed at 7:50am then.

Does Jack need immunity for? Eh, he's getting a Presidential Pardon anyway
WAYNE PALMER! by tonagan	Mar 30th, 2009 08:38:57 PM

something really, really bad is going to happen during the assault. I'll miss Moss and Almeida.
Rack by Rob in WI	Mar 30th, 2009 08:44:02 PM
Will totally smuggle Jack out in her ample bossom.
I like how Moss wears a flak jacket as casualwear by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 08:47:12 PM
We should call him Flak Bauer if he survives the assault.
So, there's by Rob in WI	Mar 30th, 2009 08:48:53 PM
Jack, Rack, Flak (potentially), and Aaron Pierce, Agent of Shield?

Solid Ending by Rob in WI	Mar 30th, 2009 08:57:28 PM
Solid episode... Jack and Rack save the day.
Good job with Seaton by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 08:57:50 PM
He was so worried-looking for so long, it was an easy sell.
Jack Flack by seagrass	Mar 30th, 2009 08:58:34 PM
was the imaginary hero in Cloak & Dagger (played to perfection by Dabney Coleman). Let's get him on the show! Bring back Curtis, and we've got: Jack Bauer, Black Bauer, Rack Bauer, Flack Bauer. Aaron could be Mack Bauer. If Katee Sackhoff was on the show, she could be Sack Bauer or Frak Bauer. Moss is Wack Bauer, plain and simple.
Awesome episode by kyle051554	Mar 30th, 2009 08:58:37 PM
When they were going to the warehouse, I started thinking that it'd be an awesome twist if the little weasel had played the FBI. Glad to see the writers came through.

Date of pardon: 2007-11-02 by Anakin Whoopass	Mar 30th, 2009 09:10:09 PM
Freeze-framed the pardon the president signed. It's dated November 2, "In the year of our Lord, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first". The calendar year would follow Lord and is omitted, but 1776+231=2007. Based on the number of presidential terms since the first season that's impossible.
I saw it coming, Come on Tony! by wcme	Mar 30th, 2009 09:16:05 PM
Speedle talks loudly with John v about being nervous right in front of Tony. Speedle storms in and shoots the bad guy...Tony, did you yourself test fire his gun? or check dead guys pulse to be sure hes dead? Poor Tony, I expected better of him. Knew right then Speedle was trapping him. Didnt see how til the end. However, very awesome episode! And yeah, Agent Peirce, you and jack are SOOOO going to him that by the end of the 24 hours!
Looks like it's up to Jack and Chesty to save... by SID 8.0	Mar 30th, 2009 09:18:45 PM

I'm going to hijack the first Thursday coaxial talkback for Supernatural. I'll do a live tb. Which should be extremely interesting since I don't watch the show.
Rack Bauer by lostboytexass	Mar 30th, 2009 09:23:08 PM
isnt it about time 24 showed some tits? just saying...
lostboytexass by Jubs	Mar 30th, 2009 09:31:14 PM
Yes.
chrth by Shermdawg	Mar 30th, 2009 09:32:39 PM
Warning, this week is gonna be really hokey (the bros. discover their images and cases are the basis of romance novels). Wait til they get the straight up comedy eps out of their system.
Shermdawg: I'll do it anyway by chrth	Mar 30th, 2009 09:36:09 PM
It'll take some time to catch up on the mythology. A lighter episode might be a good way to warm up to the show.
Why not Roddenberry? by AmorphousBlob	Mar 30th, 2009 09:40:21 PM
Loved the way the worked Trek Producers Bob Justman and Rick Berman into the show tonight.
chrth, if you can track down the episode... by Shermdawg	Mar 30th, 2009 09:44:41 PM
"On The Head Of A Pin", which is spoiler heavy, but is a good example of why the show is so good.
Rick Berman by lkjhpoiu	Mar 30th, 2009 09:46:25 PM
Anyone else catch that The President's daughter wants a character named Rick Berman to become chief of staff? Do Manny Coto and Rick get along?
Yeah, Rick Berman... by lock67ca	Mar 30th, 2009 09:57:24 PM
The guy who ran Star Trek into the ground.
Me sees a wandering eye by geekchick	Mar 30th, 2009 09:57:38 PM
Tony sure was looking around at the people involved at Starkwood, especially the guy who showed up at the end. There was something very deliberate about that scene.
By the way, Jonas Hodges = George Steinbrenner by YackBacker	Mar 30th, 2009 09:58:41 PM
1) Hodges likes to get down in the clubhouse with the grunts, personally making decisions that your typical CEO would leave to middle-management. 2) Talks a lot about people being "a patriot." 3) Loves to wear light jackets. 4) Seeks to build his own sovereign empire. 5) He seeks victory by obtaining chemical weapons (please make your Jason Giambi/A-Rod/Jose Canseco joke here).

Turnabout is fair play... by pantera777	Mar 30th, 2009 11:31:48 PM
Chesty saw Jack topless, she should return that favor ... HE'S A DYING MAN!!!
I picked up on the Rick Berman thing too... by turketron	Mar 31st, 2009 12:26:06 AM
I remember the days when forums were alive with curses to Berman and Braga, who everyone blamed for the worst of Trek in its later years...
Geekchick... by BigTuna	Mar 31st, 2009 02:38:35 AM
That guy Tony was looking at funny was the guy who got "Killed" when he was about to shoot Tony. Tony was just giving dirty looks about being had the entire time.
Ha by The McPoyle Clan	Mar 31st, 2009 04:37:55 AM
Starwood's big bad bio weapon is mad cow disease... Who didn't see that fake out coming? It was kinda obvious. And Moss did a 180 very quickly, considering his attitude before. Rack totally wanted to jump Jack's bones, even after she saw the scars. Excuse us while we "debrief" in the interrogation room.
Shotgun! by rosasaks	Mar 31st, 2009 05:10:41 AM
George Washington was in a cult, and the cult was into aliens, man.
So the scars on Jack's chest haven't heeled as well as his hand by BigTuna	Mar 31st, 2009 05:55:21 AM
His horribly acid-scarred hand is now looking completely fine
At least let Jack "Chub-Up" before stripping naked! by BigTuna	Mar 31st, 2009 05:56:44 AM
Poor guy. He looked embarrased showing his weiner to a bunch of women in the complete outdoors
but Jonas didn't fire anyone by just pillow talk	Mar 31st, 2009 06:27:30 AM
and I didn't see Reggie Jackson anywhere in last night's episode.
Actually, Jonas by The McPoyle Clan	Mar 31st, 2009 06:58:43 AM
reminds me more of the geezer that owns the Raiders. And with as many plot holes and implausibilities as there are in 24, they shouldn't have effed up the obvious one like Starwood's WMD. The disease should have been something really scary like Ebola, which has origins in Africa and is very easy to spread. To get CJD or mad cow, you have to consume contaminated tissue, or transfuse blood. Neither is spread through inhalation. Granted this ain't ER or some other medical show, but at least put some thought into it.
"who everyone blamed for the worst of Trek in its later years" by chrth	Mar 31st, 2009 07:36:31 AM
Deservedly so, since it was Berman's fault.
Liked the mention of posse comitatus by chimpjnr	Mar 31st, 2009 08:22:38 AM
Mike Novick would most certainly have approved.
Boy, I'm REALLY starting to like Moss! by mr_macphisto	Mar 31st, 2009 09:21:46 AM
Which of course means R.I.P. Larry Moss.
Damn Bud Kilmer!!! by We_Are_Trapper_Keeper	Mar 31st, 2009 09:29:10 AM

So what's up with Jack's scars? by allykatD	Mar 31st, 2009 10:05:33 AM
Are they just the numberous boo-boos the guy has suffered over the years or are they from something particular. I didn't realize he was that scared up. And yeah, Keifer is scrawny. I think he drinks and parties too much to hit the gym, which he needs. But heck, he's still Jack. And I'm starting to like Moss, too. Oh, and the end to this episode is driving me nuts. I went to bed wondering how they're going to cure Jack and I woke up thinking about how they're going to cure Jack. This show is like reading a really good spy thriller one chapter a week. I'm ripping my hair out.
Jack was relieved to learn he was sick by BoyNamedSue	Mar 31st, 2009 10:24:32 AM
Watching last night's episode, Jack seemed relieved and happy when he got the test results back (he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief). The audience didn't know what the results were until several minutes later, meaning most of us assumed the results came back negative. So I'm wondering.........Is Jack relieved that he doesn't have to live anymore (he said in Season 6 when he thought he was going to die for real that it would be a relief)?
Speedle's a dick, and Jim Phelps will wave the Constitution next by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 31st, 2009 10:28:30 AM

week! by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 31st, 2009 10:28:56 AM

He'll wave the Constitution around, I mean! by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 31st, 2009 10:29:47 AM

Next week, Jack doesn't collapse, he attacks the floor of the FB by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 31st, 2009 10:46:34 AM
The floor is a mole!
That's NOT Jim Phelps!! by wtriker1701	Mar 31st, 2009 10:54:30 AM
NEVER EVER!! Just some bad guy stealing the credibility AND the name of The Great Phelps back in the good ol' days of MI! It's like Captain Kirk being played by some other guy... duh... already happening... tssss... but ALSO being BAD! Never gonna happen! Again!!!
Peter Graves is... by lock67ca	Mar 31st, 2009 11:51:54 AM
The one, the ONLY Jim Phelps!
Okay, so The Champ waves around the Constitution...;) by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 31st, 2009 12:07:31 PM

That DOESN'T mean Jon Voight's by wtriker1701	Mar 31st, 2009 02:27:10 PM
not GREAT! For all we know he gave us and the world Angelina! That counts for some greatness! And he IS a great actor. BUT the greatest mistake was "Mission Improbable" - the "should NOT have been made" - Movie! It will ALWAYS be Peter Graves! There can be only one!
Baur is such a wimp compared to earlier seasons by K00m0	Mar 31st, 2009 03:31:02 PM
If this was Season 1, he'd use the recaptured CIP device to make passenger airliners crash into that complex.
allykatD by celebritydave	Mar 31st, 2009 05:49:44 PM
i actually thought jack looked quite fit. his arms are an ok size, has definition. special forces guys usually arent big.
Join Voight's patented repeated head slap... by henrydalton	Mar 31st, 2009 07:50:01 PM
I could watch that all day.

I hope we get a dementia induced Terri hallucination by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Mar 31st, 2009 10:01:06 PM
Or nina, etc., some Rambo shit.
Show just keeps kicking arse.... by Mindworm22	Apr 1st, 2009 07:18:11 AM
...and those of us who suffered through season 6 are getting a great payoff. Wow was this episode great. I find myself saying that a lot about this show the past month or so. Anyone else remember when people were convinced Heroes was better? Ugh.
Still at least one Mole remaining--tipped Starkwood by chromedome	Apr 1st, 2009 01:43:40 PM
that the FBI was enroute (per Hodges statement) Here A Mole, There A Mole, Everywhere a Moley Mole!
"Rick Berman" for chief of staff... by chromedome	Apr 1st, 2009 01:45:56 PM
well, we know that Braga wrote that line of the show--real clever, dumbass. no doubt he wrote the useless Juma-girlfriend/sister crap, too. I'm betting he is somehow responsible for the Endlessly Runnin Siblins in Heroes, too.
good episode. by chromedome	Apr 1st, 2009 01:57:28 PM
glad to see the improvement this season
Could be worse, chromedome by BrandonGK	Apr 1st, 2009 05:24:04 PM
At least Braga is in an apparently subordinate position on the 24 writing staff. Could you imagine what would happen if he had the run of the place like Voyager and Enterprise?
can't wait to watch this episode in the UK by echobase	Apr 1st, 2009 06:05:53 PM
C'mon Monday, come quickly!!!

Yea, BrandonGK by chromedome	Apr 1st, 2009 06:39:44 PM
Hope he is relegated to writing his own name in the credits, and NOTHING ELSE.
