whats the most outrageous scene so far this season.
i'd have to say that Tony saving Jack and Audrey (aka Beaver girl). how'd Tony get there in under 10min

MacGuyver · 02-28-2005, 07:02 PM

I love this fucking show.

ElwoodBlues · 02-28-2005, 07:03 PM

What an amazing fucking episode. Just plain wow. More later when I can think.

Moskie · 02-28-2005, 07:12 PM

It's about time they used Curtis! And he kicked some ass too. Taking those two guys out at the begining was awesome. I hope they keep having him in the field; he's a better fit there than as a desk guy.

My only complaint I think would be that they again tortured someone (you might even say they tortured Dina...). It's getting a bit tiresome.

Other than that, a good episode.

hambone · 03-01-2005, 08:19 AM

This one was a lot better than the previous two. Curtis and Jack covering each other going up the stairwell was awesome, I thought.

the_marq · 03-01-2005, 08:29 AM

A truely great episode last night, as I said before, the last 2 weeks were pretty weak but I could see they were building up to something.

I like how Paul kept giving Jack dirty looks AFTER he tortured him. Jeez man, the guy is willing to put a power cord to your head and you think you can stare him down with a mean look? I still think Paul is dirtier than he looks... I still say he knew that Sec.Heller and Audrey were going to be at the kid's house and that's how the terrorists knew where to grab them.

Curtis was great... saw that coming a long way off, he's way too "big, black and mean" looking to stay in the office.

Janey · 03-01-2005, 11:41 AM

I think there's more dirt to Paul as well. on the whole, the episode was a bit lame compared to the beginning of the show. Edgar saved the day in the end. yay.

Or did he? now that would be a good story.

777 · 03-01-2005, 11:46 AM

Not another traitor! At least last season CTU had a double agent on their side. I do like the torturer running gag we have going this season. Take that Paul! Is he (the actor) British?

I don't think he saved the day. Sure he stopped the meltdowns, but once they mentioned there were other "cells" that reported to the same lead guy, I started to assume there was something else in the works.

I wonder if they will roll in a whole new cast of terrorists, or just use the main bad guy to go off of now?

You're right, he didn't save the day... he saved the Hour. This hour has been saved for you by Edgar..

the 'something else' must be in the works. Either the reactor ploy was a 'feint within a feint' or the different cells are operating on a similar schedule, with different targets. some others may be hacking financial systems, while others may be planting dirty bombs ...

sherpahigh · 03-01-2005, 12:22 PM

Anyone know where I can find a copy of last nights show online? I missed it and the vcr didn't work for me!!

any help?

guthmund · 03-01-2005, 02:59 PM

I mentioned this in the 'Lost' thread and didn't get slapped, so, I'll mention it here as well.

If you have a bit torrent client, the best place to catch up on television shows is Btefnet.org
I'm on crappy cable with no DVR and don't like having to set the VCR, if it works right, to record shows, so, I use it quite a bit when I miss a show.

As for the thread...

Last night's show was pretty good. It just goes to show you that if you want plain, no nonsense torture, you need Jack Bauer to do the job. No screwing around, no pleading. He just asked him what he knew and calmly explained the consequences.

I think I have a man-crush on Jack

They've still got over half a season to go, right? There's no way this can be the end of the threat. There has to be more other than Jack chasing Marwan (or whatever his name is) down to kill him. I don't think they'll leave it at that, but you never know.

Driscoll's daughter killing herself? I hate to say it, but I'm glad that storyline's about wrapped up. It was going nowhere and now it seems it's almost at the end.

boom29 · 03-01-2005, 06:26 PM

Yeah. I'm wondering what's going to happen next considering that they still have a day left. I also agree on the Driscoll storyline, it seemed to slow down the show.

0energy0 · 03-07-2005, 01:18 PM

Jack is my hero. I was so thrilled to see Tony Almeida back. I was going crazy. I miss Chloe though (Driscoll is so stupid, yet a milf according to many of my friends).

Anyways, 24 on tonight at 9 P.M. DON'T MISS IT!

0energy0 · 03-07-2005, 01:19 PM

I think this show is better than any other show. I used to be addict of the OC, but then i realized the 24 is reality because it has smart people on it. The OC just shows ditzy people tangled in their love triangles.

777 · 03-07-2005, 03:15 PM

There's nothing wrong with ditzy people or love triangles. I enjoyed wacthing "That '70's Show" just before "24" comes on in seasons past. The balance between light-hearted hijinks and hard-boiled drama.

The "OC" last seasons had the "2 hot babes want me" triangle with Seth, Ana, and Summer. "24" has the "will she divorce that loser for me?" triangle with Jack, Audry, and Paul. Now that Audry believes that Paul is inocent or that someone may be using him, she seems closer to him. Can Jack lose her to this candy-ass?

Jack needs a sniper on his side >:->

0energy0 · 03-07-2005, 03:33 PM

Jack should just take down Paul. Audrey looks soooooooooooo good. Jack has saved the world 3 times, this one will be his fourth. I think this is a very good way to get women.

777 · 03-07-2005, 03:57 PM

Yeah, so long as they down get shot, kidnapped, arrested, kidnapped, raped, kidnapped, watch husband tortured, kidnapped...

Oh, and those terrorist love kidnapping the heros loved ones.

1slOwCD8 · 03-07-2005, 08:24 PM

Hmmmm.. a little bit of an uneventful episode but still good. I totally knew who the new director of CTU was gonna be when they said "she". Quite an interesting twist.

0energy0 · 03-07-2005, 09:07 PM

yeah, same here. yet, this wasn't much of an exciting one. i wish chloe and balmer would come back.

ElwoodBlues · 03-07-2005, 10:58 PM

umm...err....*sigh*

I don't want to be an ass about details. But....

Its Palmer. With a P

Moskie · 03-14-2005, 09:45 PM

No comments on this week's episode yet? guess I'll give my two cents.

I liked this episode overall. I liked the idea of the EMP leading to Jack taking part in urban warfare in the middle of a city being looted. Seeing Jack in action like that is definately worth the price of admission. But parts of the situation were definately contrived, though... the guys running the ammo shop got a tad too preachy, and those commandos seemed like they shouldn't have gotten their asses handed to them so easily.

But that knife in the back of the neck makes up for a lot of it. Holy shit that was wicked.

I also liked the interactions between Tony and Michelle. It seemed honest and believable. They did a good job of showing how they were both still vulnerable for one another, but the show was pretty subtle about it, for the most part. I was afraid they'd go the soap opera route, but they didn't.

ChrisJericho · 03-15-2005, 05:37 PM

I gotta agree with the knife to the back of the neck as the offical "OMFG" moment of the hour, here's why:

Usually in a show or movie, when the head bad guy is shown, you automatically think to yourself "Ok there's going to be some showdown between him and the good guy at the end." So when they repeatidly focused on the head mercenary I thought there would be some kind of end-of-the-hour brawl between jack and the mercenary dude that was somehow facilitated through both of them losing their weapons or being out of ammo etc etc...

But no, Jack just sneaks up behind him and and SCHLINK! It was so anti-climatic that it was awesome. It's like the market scene in Indiana Jones where the big dude with the huge sword starts twirling it around in front of Indiana..... and Indiana just takes out his pistol and shoots him.

Pure gold.

sherpahigh · 03-15-2005, 06:41 PM

I thought it was a pretty good episode overall. I loved the sporting goods warfare scene. The guys running the store were obviously throw in there to show that not all Muslims are terrorists. I thought it was done pretty good for the most part but it seemed odd to have Jack just throw out all that info. so quickly.

777 · 03-16-2005, 08:04 AM

Is this a joke? It's a little early for April Fools, but here's the link: http://www.bbspot.com/News/2005/03/24_hamburger.html
Apprently, next episode features Jack, eating, a burger. And for once in the entire series of 24, Jack also goes to...

(Drum roll please)

The restroom.

Gilda · 03-16-2005, 08:50 AM

So what's the threat going to be in act 3? Based on the ending and some foreshadowing from earlier--the line about keeping the President in the air--I'm thinking maybe we have another Presidential assassanation attempt in the works. This President seems to be more of a hawk than Palmer was, and may be seen as a threat.

stonegrody · 03-16-2005, 08:58 AM

That was great episode! The firefight was pretty sweet and the knife to the back of the neck was awesome!

Okay, so who thinks Paul is going to die? My prediction: Paul will survive, Audrey will go back to Paul and Jack will go back to his old job since he will no longer have a reason to be a suit.

"Some people are more comfortable in hell"

Sarah got escorted out! Was anyone else happy about that? Michelle don't mess around, even if you did get a TAZER TO THE NECK!!! haha

So now the president is the main goal. Who knows how they're going to pull off an attack on Air Force One.

I think we got some good stuff coming our way...

sherpahigh · 03-16-2005, 05:00 PM

I'm thinking that there's going to be a hijack of Air Force one or something to that effect. Not sure how just yet as the president hasn't been on land since the start of the show yet has he? But they did say something about the presidents schedule so who knows.

BBspot rules.

simonrex22 · 03-17-2005, 11:52 AM

Air Force One, never thought of that. Sounds awesome. I thought the season started out pretty slow. Not the actual show, but i didnt like the cast. I think its turned out great though. I was glad to see Driscal and her annoying daughter go. Edgar has turned into one of my favorites, i didnt really like him at first. A surprise to myself i was kinda upset to see Chloe leave. And bringing back Tony and Michelle was probably the best thing so far. Curtis who i didnt like in the beginning has turned out good also. Now we just need Elisha Cuthbert to come back and put the cherry on top. I just hope she doesnt get kidnapped again.

So i think the season has turned out great, even though i had complaints about the cast in the beginning. I cant wait to see whats going on with the Pres. Oh yeah, the main terrorist guy is an awesome casting job. I dont know his name but he was the mummy in the Brandon Frasier movie.

guthmund · 03-17-2005, 10:52 PM

His name is Arnold Vosloo (I had to look it up). I remember him from Veritas: The Quest." It wasn't all that interesting, but he played the boss man's badass well enough for me to place the face.

I completely agree with stonegrody. Paul isn't going to die. Audrey is going to go back to him and Jack is going to be so pissed off he single handedly takes out all the terrorist cells in the greater Los Angeles area and saves the President all with his trusty PDA. Maybe a gun or two. He won't need them, but maybe.

The last episode was pretty good. The Tony/Michelle thing was handled well and they kicked out Sarah, who I didn't really like.

That whole conversation between Jack and the brothers was horrible and forced. The whole 'it's our country too' shit sounded like a last minute addendum to appease the outcry over the arab terrorist storyline. Not to mention it was unbelievable. Face trained commandos in combat, in the dark, with no hope of rescue and likely die or run your ass off and live to rebuild another day? I wonder what the 'vast majority' would do?

Seanland · 03-18-2005, 09:42 PM

O man i was looking for a 24 thread hooray!!

10 Bucks says Michelle Falls for Tony hehe!

Tony's Da Pimp!

ChrisJericho · 03-19-2005, 12:55 AM

I gotta agree with Almeida being a straight-up PIMP.

Did you notice the hickey looking thing the taser left? This show does little things like that that continue to impress me.

Seanland · 03-20-2005, 11:53 PM

yea, after watching the special features disc from season 2, i began to really notice how close they are to the detail, just on little things like that.. thats why ive watched them all like 5 times!

Major 24 Nerd Right here!

Seanland · 03-21-2005, 04:53 PM

This is your 24, 1 Hour Warning!

Moskie · 03-21-2005, 09:47 PM

bleh, I had some problems with this episode... overall, it was too predictable. From the first 10 minutes, you knew how the rest of the episode was going to play out. Is Jack going to convince Dina to help him go undercover? Of course. Are they going to find Marwan? Yep. Will their cover be blown? You betchya.

What kind of cover story was that, anyway? No one takes Jack Bauer hostage. Everyone knows no one takes Jack Bauer hostage. Part of me wonders if Jack went into it knowing that it was a horrible cover, and was in effect sacrificing Dina. It's possible, but I wouldn't have thought Dina to be that stupid. (okay, I take that back. He's been taken hostage before... but not by some pesky woman with a bullet wound!

)

There were some major time discrepancies too. I'm usually very forgiving, but... Chloe getting dressed and showing up at CTU over a commercial break was a bit much. Same with Jack and Dina getting to that professor's house, they had that go by a bit too fast.

The best parts of 24 are when you can see about 10 different scenarios being plausible, and the show keeps you guessing all the way. Seems like the show has been lacking in that department over the last handful of episodes. I remember back in last season being on the edge of my seat, wondering how the Salazar storyline was going to pan out. I got a similar feeling for the Araz family's storyline too... maybe it's the curse of season's first half.

Well, on the positive side of things, I'm curious about what that military dude is up to, exactly. Definitely has something to do with a jet, I guess, and presumably with Air Force One. Hm... can Jack fly a fighter jet? Oh, who am I kidding, there is nothing Jack can't do.

All right, I'm done. I can be a bit long winded. Everybody's a critic!

hambone · 03-21-2005, 10:33 PM

I don't care how believable the episode was personally. All I know is Jack stabbed himself in the gut! Awesome.

Gilda · 03-21-2005, 11:48 PM

Um, I'm still confused about where the guy was hiding in the car. He wasin't in the back sear or in the trunk--those were checked. Then he shows up through the rear seat access to the trunk. Um, that would mean he was in the trunk in the first place, which we clearly saw was empty.

Otherwise, good episode. I knew what was going to happen in the tunnel, but was impressed with how quickly the CTU people reacted when things went wrong.

Moskie · 03-22-2005, 04:21 AM

Jack stabbing himself was pretty damn hardcore... but I also felt that the show was just kinda showing off, showing us that they can have Jack do pretty much anything.

And I was thinking the same thing about the dude in the car. Maybe he was shifting back and forth between the trunk and the back seat, avoiding the officers who were inspecting the car? ... or maybe it's just one of those magic cars clowns use in the circus. you never know.

Gilda 32 flavors and then some Location: Out on a wire.	So what's the threat going to be in act 3? Based on the ending and some foreshadowing from earlier--the line about keeping the President in the air--I'm thinking maybe we have another Presidential assassanation attempt in the works. This President seems to be more of a hawk than Palmer was, and may be seen as a threat.

stonegrody Brooding. Location: CA-USA	That was great episode! The firefight was pretty sweet and the knife to the back of the neck was awesome! Okay, so who thinks Paul is going to die? My prediction: Paul will survive, Audrey will go back to Paul and Jack will go back to his old job since he will no longer have a reason to be a suit. "Some people are more comfortable in hell" Sarah got escorted out! Was anyone else happy about that? Michelle don't mess around, even if you did get a TAZER TO THE NECK!!! haha So now the president is the main goal. Who knows how they're going to pull off an attack on Air Force One. I think we got some good stuff coming our way... __________________ This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

sherpahigh So Hip it Hurts Location: Up here in my tree	I'm thinking that there's going to be a hijack of Air Force one or something to that effect. Not sure how just yet as the president hasn't been on land since the start of the show yet has he? But they did say something about the presidents schedule so who knows. __________________ "It'd be better for me if you don't understand"

simonrex22 Insane	Air Force One, never thought of that. Sounds awesome. I thought the season started out pretty slow. Not the actual show, but i didnt like the cast. I think its turned out great though. I was glad to see Driscal and her annoying daughter go. Edgar has turned into one of my favorites, i didnt really like him at first. A surprise to myself i was kinda upset to see Chloe leave. And bringing back Tony and Michelle was probably the best thing so far. Curtis who i didnt like in the beginning has turned out good also. Now we just need Elisha Cuthbert to come back and put the cherry on top. I just hope she doesnt get kidnapped again. So i think the season has turned out great, even though i had complaints about the cast in the beginning. I cant wait to see whats going on with the Pres. Oh yeah, the main terrorist guy is an awesome casting job. I dont know his name but he was the mummy in the Brandon Frasier movie.

guthmund big damn hero	His name is Arnold Vosloo (I had to look it up). I remember him from Veritas: The Quest." It wasn't all that interesting, but he played the boss man's badass well enough for me to place the face. I completely agree with stonegrody. Paul isn't going to die. Audrey is going to go back to him and Jack is going to be so pissed off he single handedly takes out all the terrorist cells in the greater Los Angeles area and saves the President all with his trusty PDA. Maybe a gun or two. He won't need them, but maybe. The last episode was pretty good. The Tony/Michelle thing was handled well and they kicked out Sarah, who I didn't really like. That whole conversation between Jack and the brothers was horrible and forced. The whole 'it's our country too' shit sounded like a last minute addendum to appease the outcry over the arab terrorist storyline. Not to mention it was unbelievable. Face trained commandos in combat, in the dark, with no hope of rescue and likely die or run your ass off and live to rebuild another day? I wonder what the 'vast majority' would do? __________________ No signature. None. Seriously.

Moskie Pure Chewing Satisfaction Location: can i use bbcode [i]here[/i]?	bleh, I had some problems with this episode... overall, it was too predictable. From the first 10 minutes, you knew how the rest of the episode was going to play out. Is Jack going to convince Dina to help him go undercover? Of course. Are they going to find Marwan? Yep. Will their cover be blown? You betchya. What kind of cover story was that, anyway? No one takes Jack Bauer hostage. Everyone knows no one takes Jack Bauer hostage. Part of me wonders if Jack went into it knowing that it was a horrible cover, and was in effect sacrificing Dina. It's possible, but I wouldn't have thought Dina to be that stupid. (okay, I take that back. He's been taken hostage before... but not by some pesky woman with a bullet wound! ) There were some major time discrepancies too. I'm usually very forgiving, but... Chloe getting dressed and showing up at CTU over a commercial break was a bit much. Same with Jack and Dina getting to that professor's house, they had that go by a bit too fast. The best parts of 24 are when you can see about 10 different scenarios being plausible, and the show keeps you guessing all the way. Seems like the show has been lacking in that department over the last handful of episodes. I remember back in last season being on the edge of my seat, wondering how the Salazar storyline was going to pan out. I got a similar feeling for the Araz family's storyline too... maybe it's the curse of season's first half. Well, on the positive side of things, I'm curious about what that military dude is up to, exactly. Definitely has something to do with a jet, I guess, and presumably with Air Force One. Hm... can Jack fly a fighter jet? Oh, who am I kidding, there is nothing Jack can't do. All right, I'm done. I can be a bit long winded. Everybody's a critic! __________________ Greetings and salutations. Last edited by Moskie; 03-21-2005 at 09:56 PM..

hambone Zeroed In Location: CA	I don't care how believable the episode was personally. All I know is Jack stabbed himself in the gut! Awesome. __________________ "Like liquid white from fallen glass, Nothing to cry over"

Gilda 32 flavors and then some Location: Out on a wire.	Um, I'm still confused about where the guy was hiding in the car. He wasin't in the back sear or in the trunk--those were checked. Then he shows up through the rear seat access to the trunk. Um, that would mean he was in the trunk in the first place, which we clearly saw was empty. Otherwise, good episode. I knew what was going to happen in the tunnel, but was impressed with how quickly the CTU people reacted when things went wrong.

Moskie Pure Chewing Satisfaction Location: can i use bbcode [i]here[/i]?	Jack stabbing himself was pretty damn hardcore... but I also felt that the show was just kinda showing off, showing us that they can have Jack do pretty much anything. And I was thinking the same thing about the dude in the car. Maybe he was shifting back and forth between the trunk and the back seat, avoiding the officers who were inspecting the car? ... or maybe it's just one of those magic cars clowns use in the circus. you never know. __________________ Greetings and salutations.
