24: Day 3

For anyone that has seen it, you know that 24 is one of the most addictive shows on television, and the third season premiere is a little over three weeks away. I am one of the most obsessed fans of the show you will find, so I am taking it upon myself to start the Day 3 thread for us to post speculation on the new season, reviews of episodes, etc.

From the season three trailer I have gathered that the episode is about a deadly virus that is about to be spread through Los Angeles (poor LA. Always getting attacked). Jack now has a partner Chase, which I am not too sure I am keen on. Perhaps he will shoot him in the leg or something after the first episode, because that's what Jack does.

I have high hopes for this season and can't wait for the 28th. What do you guys think?

I heard that Season 3 is supposed to take place 3 years later. Not too happy about that. I have a 24 forum on my site if anyone is interested. If that's considered as spam I apologize.

Yeah, it is three years later. I don't see a problem with that. Season 2 was 18 months after season 1.

For a while, I had thought season 3 would pick up right where 2's finale was since Max had put plan B into effect and Mandy had rendered the president helpless. Of course, seeing Jack roll off the stretcher after a heart attack for another 24 hours would have been totally impossible...even for Jack Bauer

Isn't it getting just a LITTLE bit unrealistic now?

I think they could have something a bit easier to swallow if they'd changed the format slightly. Call the sequel "7 Days" or something. Make if take place over a week, rather than one day.

It would give the script writers a bit more to work with...

Yeah, but then it'd defeat the novelty of the show. The fact that each episode is one hour in his life makes for riveting television.

Besides, it's television. I don't want it to be totally realistic.

He dozed off in season one when he had kidnapped the waitress, but quickly woke up when he realized she was trying to escape.

His heart stopped last season. Close enough.

I love 24. But I think they started taking some liberties with the "24 hour" concept. Like driving across LA in just one episode... that can't happen.

And could we just ditch all the "Kim" story lines.

24 is by far the most riveting show on TV. Although I agree, the stupidity of Kim gets a bit old after x amount of kidnappings and such.

Can't wait till 3!

Fear not. I think just sticking her behind a desk at CTU can keep her from getting eaten by cougars, kidnapped, held hostage, etc. She is just gonna be getting it on with Jack's new partner.

Good grief! I couldn't stand the Kim subplot. Once I found out she's working at CTU, I breathed a sigh of relief.

My biggest problem with season 2 was the fact the story revolved around the threat of a nuclear weapon going off in L.A. The problem is that you knew, right from the start, that a nuclear bomb was not going to decimate Los Angeles. A prime time US tv show just wouldn't do it. Granted, I wasn't expecting the bomb to go off at all, so I'll give praise for that.

In the first season, you were (or at least I was) never sure whether Palmer would be assasinated. It kept me coming back. A virus spreading around LA... I like that idea better than the nuke. A virus can do damage a smaller scale, so who knows what exactly will happen.

I definitely see your point there, but you still know that in season 3 LA won't be infected by the virus. The part that makes the show fun is all the stuff that happens from the beginning to the end.

it is that way with every TV show I think. The bad guys can't win.

Hopefully Elisha will have a REAL purpose this season not just running around the forest like an idiot. Anyhow if you like 24, you might want to check out Alias. I recently started watching this and its just as good if not better.

Yea, I know that much, but at least its possible for the virus to infect a single person, while not having a complete outbreak. So who knows who will get infected as the season progresses. With a nuke, tho, there really isn't too much middle ground.

24 Day 3: 1pm - 2pm


I just got finished watching the season premiere of 24, and it was damn good. It was presented commercial free again this year, and I am glad Ford actually put some effort into their commercial this year. I actually watched it this time since it had a plot. If you remember last year, it was just that lame Toby Keith commercial.


The plotline is what I had read: PNP will be released in Los Angeles if Ramon Salizar isn't release from prison in the next six hours. Salizar was put into jail by Jack who spent a year undercover in Mexico. Ramon talked about things Jack was put through down there, and we found out that one thing was that he now has an addiction to heroine eating at him. I think this is going to be an excellent addition to the plotline because we will be able to see Bauer's struggles with craving. The scene at the end with him throwing his junkie kit across the room was intense. The other moment I enjoyed was when we found out that Kate Warner and Jack have just broken up and are separating their stuff. Apparently Jack broke it off with her, so I hope we find out a reason behind it. I can only assume it has to do with his erratic behavior because of all the heroine stuff.


President Palmer is planning a debate at USC, and we get an idea of how his brother is right off the top when he announces he fired someone important to the President's staff. There is obvious tension between him and the president's Doctor/Girlfriend that I am sure we will see unfold as well.


I am not too sure how I feel about Chase yet. I don't think his character has had enough time to really develop in the first hour. He just seemed to be in the background for the most part when it came to actual CTU actions. I really don't care about his relationship with Kim at this point. It should also be noted that I am not too big on that new haircut of hers. I guess I just think that Kim shouldn't even be involved in the season. Putting her in at CTU just doesn't really add that much I don't think. Let her sit at home and get bitten by cougars or something.


All in all I am very excited for this season. I think a subplot is going to develop again with the President and his staff as well as one with Michelle and Tony (It is weird hearing him call her sweetheart!). Tony might move to Langley, and the fact that Michelle won't have a job out there might cause some kind of tension as Tony decides whether or not the job is worth it.


7 days until the next episode. If you watched this week, what did you think of it?

Screw that! They should have made season 2 the day right after season 1, and season 3 the day right after season 2! Talk about shitty luck!!

I watched the premiere. Overall, it was pretty solid and it set up the entire season pretty well. The whole heroin addiction thing will really add a new edge to Jack's character. He needs to win an Emmy next year.

That being said, with the heroin and his heart stopping last season... I wouldn't be surprised if he dies, but I doubt the producers would be dumb enough to do that.

She isn't a total dumbass. If you saw the Pilot you saw her and Jack in a hard fought chess battle, which I think gives her some credibility.

If you read articles over the past few weeks, you would know that Sutherland suggested they kill off his character at the end of last season to keep the audiences guessing. Definitely woulda gotten the job done, but I think it woulda been show suicide.

Duly noted and agreed. That haircut looks atrocious on her.

Loved the first episode, glad to see Palmer didn't die, but I thought they made it too obvious something was going on between him and his doctor even before they kissed.

Great tension, questions left unanswered, another winner in my opinion.

I hope they aren't prepping the Chase character to star in the next season or get a new star.

If Jack dies in this one, I want the show to die with him. It just would not be the same without Sutherland.

Tony's great, but he's no Jack.

Killing Teri in the first season was a big enough message to show us that 24 isn't a typical show.. if they keep killing off their primary characters, it'll turn into a revolving door of cast members, like.. ER.

24 Day 3: 2pm - 3pm


Hour two begins with Jack saving the remains of his heroine stash. My prediction was right that Jack had to use "junk" as Chase called it to get deep inside the Salizar cartel. You really got a sense of his addiction when Chase and Jack were walking through that junkie house and Jack was just in awe of the girl shooting heroine into her toes.


Kim finally told Jack about her and Chase's relationship, which gave Jack an excuse to get rid of Chase. Of course Jack isn't happy that his daughter is dating a field agent, so he decides to take him out of harm's way. I am still not hot on the idea of Jack having a partner, so if they just leave Chase at CTU to work with Chloe that will be fine by me. I was impressed by his stepping on the wound of the junke that Jack shot though.


We are beginning to see the personality of Wayne Palmer. He has access to Senator Keeler's playbook for the debate, and is all for using it. His brother wants nothing to do with it. Wayne gets it anyway and discovers something about the President's girlfriend/doctor. It was alluded to last week in the preview, and they still haven't told us what it is. I really can't think of what it might be. Was she a stripper? Was she a heroine addict to?


Random Note: Kyle Singer's girlfriend is paler than I am.


The cliffhanger this week is that the guy that has been keeping an eye on Kyle is actually a CTU employee. PLEASE! How many moles or spies can that agency have inside it? It has to be the most insecure agency in the country. Jamie, Nina, and now this guy. We don't really know that much about him as of yet, but I am assuming he works in the office closely with Kim, Tony, and Michelle. I just wish they would think of something more creative than rehashing the whole spy in the agency bit again this season.


7 more days...

Hopefully they have some better tricks up their sleeve than backtracking over the previous seasons' plot devices.
