buchanon didn't get with michelle, otherwise, tony would be acting like peter from office space over the lundbergh thing. i agree about the guards though...jack's got one of your citizens on his back, and you're just firing off shots at random? storm troopers would do a better job handling the situation than those clowns.

am i the only one that thinks one of the three presidents has to die?

lol, thats funny.. now, i actually want to see him do that :)

Let's just hope the Chinese guy doesn't die before they can get any information out of him. Jack already feels bad about Paul, but to know that what he did ended up in nothing...ouch!

Jack has to have gotten something out of the Chinese guy. He finds Marwan's location next week, so the doctor's have to have revived him enough to get info out of him. And really, the Premiere had it coming if he was dumb enough to run out into the middle of a firestorm.

Remember how Chloe was worried that she might be a cold-blooded killer for not feeling anything after gunning down that guy? And Edgar mentioned that she may have a "delayed reaction". Will she freak out and wind up in the fetal position saying, "Oh God, oh God, oh God," repeatedly in the next few hours?

Yeah, that is kinda what I was thinking. She'll break down and go comatose in the middle of some super-critical operation that will endanger the lives of feild agents.

I am officially predicting that Jack dies today. Not a spoiler, I have no hard evidence or inside information...I just think he's done.

I personally think that'd be the end of the show if Sutherland was cut from the cast. I dunno if Jack is replacable or not.

Now if Jack "died"... but it was just some cover-up so that his enemies would think he's gone....and then he came showed up in the middle of season 5 as some undercover guy..... then I'd believe they'd "kill" him off at the end of this season.

I just hope someone says to Audrey..
"By the way....what the fuck are you doing here at CTU?"

And I hope Jack does it.

Nah, I wanna see Jack go up to Curtis in the most relaxed face and say either:

"she'll get over it"
or
"she'll come crawling back"

that would make the day :D

Audrey (aka. Beaver Girl) needs to go someplace...hey where is her dad?

Anyways, Jack shouldn't stress over her. After he saves the nation, he'll have ladies knocking on his door thanking him lol

OK ready for this?

The comatose President dies, Palmer is named Veep, and the acting President resigns, making Palmer (who only served one term I believe) President again... you likey?

Me likey. I wonder is it can happen in three hours...

To quote the Great Dashiell Hammet, "Murder gets to you in one of two ways. It makes you sick or you get to like it."

So Chloe will either crawl up into a little ball or go on a killing spree and become one of the top field agents next season.

edit: this is my 100th post!

Although Chloe as a field agent might be cool, there is nobody better at using their computer resources. She's invaluable that way.

Heh with this show, it could be before the first commercial break.

actually, palmer's gonna be named VP and novick is gonna tear out the new president's throat with his teeth after he has one more stupid outburst. THEN cerrano...errrr...palmer can be president. hopefully, someone will make him say "if you no help me now, i say fuck you joe boo"

OK I have a bit of an issue with last night's episode...

They take the time to explain that Audrey that she has to be part of Jack's cover story and convince her to go along with it for the good of the country. Audrey, who is an intelligent and politically savvy operator is taken aside and coached.

On the other hand, poor-disfunctional semi-retarded Edgar Styles is told nothing and is left to his own devices when questioned by the the Chinese.

weak

My suspension of disbelief is getting very tenuous at this point.

That cracked me up! I wonder if people understand the Cerrano reference...

Anywho, last night's episode was pretty damn cool. I don't know why the agent who's mask got pulled down didn't mention it. Surprised that a camera caught it? C'mon, he's a trained agent who is well aware of what kind technology is out there. He should have assumed it.

The funniest part of the episode was when Chloe offered to listen to Jack if he ever needed a friend. He looked at her like "WTF?" Yeah, sure. They should go get some coffee when all this is over.

So it seems like the Chinese have too much proof against CTU for this to blow over. 2 episodes left, how the hell are they going to handle all this??

Again, Edgar needs to die.

The nuke has been launched! F'n crazy! Will it detonate? Will Jack die?? Will Palmer take over as President??? Will Chloe go off on a killing spree before the day is over????

Oh man...two more episodes. Can't wait to see how it all unravels. Hope they don't suck out.

I've learned that you just have to ignore those stupid little things in 24 or else the show becomes unwatcheable. Things like that with Edgar not knowing what to say, everything is withing 3 minutes of CTU, Marwan is able to drive away and the heli can't catch him, Jack stabs himself and is fine the rest of the day...

It's cool that Audrey's brother is coming back, I knew he was full of shit.

I finally managed to watch an entire episode. (piss me off that Medium is playing opposite it). i'd like to know what personality disorder Chloe has that was referred to last night.

also, is the actor that plays Chloe also on Kelsy Grammer's sketch show?

That was hillarious when Buchanan said that to Chloe "...I don't have time for your personality disorder." He was just refering to the fact that Chloe is socially disfunctional. She, much like Edgar, have no clue how to interact with anything that does not have a keyboard and mouse attached.

And yes, Chloe is/was on Kelsey Grammar's sketch show...wasn't it already cancelled? It really sucked.

Well to be fair, Audrey was pulled in for questioning by the Chinese while Edgar was just cornered in the hallway by chance as they were leaving.

I was a bit disappointed by the capture of Marwan. This season has had some great action sequences but here they finally catch up and corner him only to nab him with barely a struggle. Kind of a let down.

Not to stray from the wonderfullness that is 24, but yes, that is the same actor. That was an absolutely horrible show! Competely unwatchable! Yuck!

Ok, sorry. Carry on.

did anyone else notice the awesome facial expression that Jack had when Chloe offered her support? He just had this look of "...... what the hell are you talking about?" Classic.

I was little irked about how they hacked up that story with Audrey and the hourlies, too... I mean, we got World War III in the making, and they treat it like nothing.

but doesn't it seem like this season is a ton more blatant with those things than previous seasons have been? I feel like they're trying to pack so much more stuff into each individual episode, so that each one is more self-contained than ones from other seasons have been. Like this whole ordeal with the Chinese... it'd make so much more sense to have this thing be a stroy-arc that lasts for like half the season... but instead they churn it out in 2 or 3 episodes.

She was also on Dude Where's My Car?

And Road Trip.. remember the blind chick that gives him the finger and says "stop feeding my dog" :)

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0707476/ Yeah, she's been keeping busy. The actress is kinda pretty too. I didn't notice 'til she was on The Scetch Show, since the Chloe character is such a turn-off. But we'll leave that for the "Hot Actresses in Annoying Roles" thread.

Alot of romance in the series the last few seasons. Tony and Michaelle, Jack and Audry, Kim and Chase. Careful with Kim though, it's hazardous to your health to be any where near her. One dude lost a leg, and Chase a hand.

I remember thinking the exact same thing when I saw her on that Sketch Show, "She's actualy sorta pretty when she's not scowling." :lol:

Yes, it's been much worse than in past seasons. Don't get me wrong, I really like the show but there are a lot of asinine things you have to accept.

I think Curtis is a really good character that I could see being the head of CTU next season. He has a very smooth personality. When Jack told him and the other CTU agent about the Chinese thing, Curtis knew exactly what to do and was calm about it while the other guy was flipping out~

What the hell is Curtis' last name?

Curtis Manning

Is it just me, or does Curtis remind anyone of Kwame from season one of the Apprentice? I blurted that out randomly last week, because it just hit me out of nowhere that the two bear a resemblance to each other.



And maaan am I excited to see what happens tomorrow night. So much so that I'm posting about it on a message board instead of working on my 10 page research paper.

I am a 24 addict, but it pains me a little every time I think to myslef I have spent almost 4 days of my life watching a TV show.

How come everyone keeps calling Palmer 'Mr President'? Is that common in real life, to refer to an ex-president as Mr President, or is it just the staff's way of giving the finger to the current inadequate President?

I don't know if Edgar's rage will turn into anything. I thought it might just be a red herring, to remind us that he's hit personally by the reactor meltdown. But now that they have Marwan he might be getting up out of his chair. Edgar and Chloe should get it on :D

I'm surprised Jack took so long to realize that the guy from the wharf never had time to call a lawyer, that was a bit weak. I bet we all picked up on that straight away, even if we didn't see Marwan make the calls on his behalf.

A former president is still honored with the designation as Mr. President no matter how many others have been elected after him.

Thus, Bill Clinton is still called, President Bill Clinton, as is President George H. Bush, and President Jimmy Carter.

And they also get sercret service protection after they're done in office.

forgot about that part, along with daily national security breifings...

were we supposed to recognize either the guy or the girl that they tracked down tonight? i kinda felt like the show was trying to shock us with someone from the past, but it didn't click for me.

I liked this episode. The VP is starting to get a backbone, albeit a slight one. Marwan getting rescued was cool. The cheesiness factor was kinda high ("omg i love you michelle!" "omg dad i'm gay!"), but it was a nice break from the craziness of past episodes.

I wonder if Michelle is going to return the favor that Tony did for her last season by going renegade and rescuing him? .... ok maybe not

Ok... uh.... so they have America's #1 most wanted terrorist and somehow they forget to secure the surrounding area? And I liked how Curtis and Bauer were pinned down in that alley with 4-5 shooters (or at least it seemed that many) and were in dire straits,.... then we come back from commercial and the situation is perfectly under control.

But on to the more important topic..... that evil white chick is HOT !!!!! Oh my god, so hot. the hotness. I was pissed she put on that vest because she was wearing that tight white tshit with NO BRA UNDERNEATH! It would have been fucking awesome.

This leads me to another string of thought. So we have the hot evil white chick from this week, the hot evil white chick FBI impersonator, the hot evil white chick sister from season 2, it seems that every evil white chick is freaking hot. I want to be evil!
