Some of us still consider previews spoilers. Please spoiler them as you would any plot twists from the current episode. Sure, it's a little anal, but some of us like to be surprised. I won't watch previews or the commercials for the next episode. I dont't hink it's too much to ask.

Well, I would rather not know what is on next weeks episode otherwise i wouldnt have posted to put the spoiler tag up.

DONT FORGET THIS WEEK THERE ARE 2 EPISODES!!

Holy shit, that ending... holy shit....
Spoiler:
I totally didnt expect that many people to die, that is a first for this show.

I love how silent it was. 40% of the people dead.

The two hour episode was so intense. I did not expect any of that to happen in less than 24 hours.

Jack Bauer is awesome with his interrogating techniques.

Did any of you see the X-Men trailer? I think that is going to be an excellent flick.

All i have to say is HOLY SHIT!!

I saw the X-Men trailer and I wish it was out now, that is the #1 movie on my list this year!

I really have to say, that was an emotionally intense and sad ending to the episode. and that silence as the final seconds to the hour ticked down.....man.

I *believe* the only other time that an ending has ending with a silent clock is at the end of Season One when Spoiler: Terri died. (I dunno who has or hasn't seen season one and damn if I'm going to be that guy, I dunno how you wouldn't know through context, but whatever, let's be safe). I don't have the DVD with me or I'd check, but I seem to remember that happening. Please correct me if I'm making shit up (which I do rather often).

Wow, what a set of episodes. Holy shit. Yeah, I cannot believe the attack was so successful, though it's fairly reminiscient of Season 2. This time was much, much worse, though, for obvious reasons. Wow...

Wow...

Tonight's episodes were great. I only watch 24, Lost and Prison Break, and with Prison Break coming back in 2 weeks it is shaping up to be a good month of television.

I know there have been more than just that episode, I just can't remember which ones they are. I don't have my DVDs with me at school so I can't be sure which ones they were. It was very effective in tonight's episode, as well as the previous ones.

And that X-Men trailer was amazing. The second episode was on twice and I watched it again - mostly to see the X-Men trailer. I don't want to have to wait until May that movie.

Spoiler: Aww man why'd they have to kill edgar. he was my comic relief. I think next week Tony will sacrifice himself for the better of CTU. He has no point in living any more. His wife just died and he's all burned up...go ahead Tony, off yourself.

No way man. Tony has to save the day. He's going to go apeshit like Jack did at the end of Season One when he thought Kim was dead and went on a rampage against the Draezin family. Only, you know, he's stuck in CTU. Which means he'll probably have to go apeshit on the guy that Jack was interrogating as soon as whatever drugs they gave him wear off. The shots of Tony and the other guy were right next to each other in the closing montage and they're both stuck in the clinic. I can't imagine Tony isn't going to go at it.

Man, the silent clock ticking at the end was heart wrenching....

Well "24" is now my favorite TV show! It's the only program that makes
me feel tense and uneasy....like I care what happens to the people. All
of the actors will be able to get jobs easier now ...right? I heard
that the guy that plays CTU computer op EDGAR is already signed up to be
part of another cable TV show.

Guess we can add that Jack Bauer can take out Robocop in 1 shot to this list :lol:

And as far as the clock that didnt hit me so much as Chloe's expression. For once I actually felt for her (well felt something other than pure hatred anyway...)

I was just screaming for Edgar to look up when he found the dead chick. Oh and I also think Tony's going to smoke that dude Jack was interogating. He already said he didn't want Jack to let him off. Can't wait for next week.

i like Chloe's deadpan delivery. She cuts straight to the point, my kind of people

Season 3 Chloe bothered me quite a bit. She's loosened up and has become one of my favorite characters now. I like her for the same reason I like House. There's really something to be said for someone who has no internal censor.

Jack Bauer Death Count
Balance--13
5-6&6-7 PM Shoots and kills the gasser dude
New Total=14

From IMDb:
I guess this means we won't be seening Kim in a tight white tanktop this season. Oh well... I think I'll keep watching it anyway.

Any bets on how long C Thomas Howell's character lasts? I say he's dead by 9:30pm.

Who is C Thomas Howell??

http://www.cthowell.net/Photo_Galler..._cropped_1.jpg

Do you recognize him now?

Man running CTU is a death warrant. What I can't figure out is why he didn't just report it stolen. Takes about 3 seconds to make a new badge and cancel the old one.

The storyline needs to get better with the president, he is such a wimp...

Pres is a wimp, me thinks he will soon let the VP run the show, or find his spine and turn cool all the sudden (which I doubt). So... wtf happened at the end of last ep? I'm confused as hell... dude wakes up, Tony goes down... huh? Is Tony down down? like, down for good? How the hell did dude wake up? And why didn't Tony going down affect me the way Edgar going down did?

Kind of a boring episode compared to last weeks, don't you think?

I don't think Tony bought it just yet. You can't give a silent clock to Edgar and not Tony.

Thats why Tony going down didnt affect me in the same way, I mean Tony MAY be dead or he may not. We dont actually know for sure, whereas Edgar was so dead.
That said Tony is my favorite character on the show (yes even more than Jack) so if he's dead I'll be kinda pissed.

Spoiler: I agree. Because the clock wasn't silent AND we don't know what was in the syringe, I say Tony isn't dead. PLUS the rescue teams are on site now, maybe they will be ale to just give him the good ole shot of adrenaline/atropine/epi to the heart. After all that Almeida's been through he ain't going down to a little syringe of liquid.

Jack Bauer Death Count
Balance--14
7-8pm Jack doesn't kill anyone, sure he doomed Lynn and Harry, but he didn't technincally kill them.
New Total=14


So after 12 hours the death toll for Jack is hung up at 14. This could lead to a season low for Jack, less than 30 kills in a day.

Spoiler: I think he's dead for two reasons: One, he doesn't want to live anymore because Michelle is dead. He said that (paraphrasing) nothing matters anymore because she is dead. And two, Jack cried! He wouldn't be crying if Tony wasn't dead.

Well, I hope Jack Bauer eliminates all the terrorists like he did in season 1, because most of his comrades from CTU have been "discharged" by a terrorist organization.

I hope Barry is eliminated because he is a massive tool.

Barry speaking to Chloe: "Just breathe, you have been through a tramatic event."

Now I know who the dude is!

I also agree that he will die sometime today, the question is will he die to the gas trying to protect Kim or will she die with him...HMMM??? I thought that he brought some comedy into that part of the episode when he was talking to Chloe.

Well, Kim's bf's tend to get badly hurt on the show. I don't know most of their name's, but the Season 1 guy that kidnapped her and help Jack break them out (Dan?) was shot. Season 2, her bf loss a leg. Chase (Season 3), had his hand chopped off with an axe. So unless this is the last we see of Barry, he's going to get maimed pretty badly.

I'm starting to wonder if the VP is involved in this.. as in a powerplay to get martial law, then take over all power.

I think this is the final season. Jacks gonna die, and I hope Chloe goes with him.

Kim does look pretty good though.

hmmmmmmmmmm...........audrey sold a schematic i didn't see that comming

I have to say that I am not surprised by the presidents decision. That was a great ending to this weeks episode.

Seriously, what a fuckin whore! I can't wait to see Jack torture her. You know it has to happen.

"Listen bitch, I'm Jack Bauer. You saw what I did to your husband... Get the nipple clamps"

Definitly did not see the Audrey twist coming. Next week should be sweet.

So Tony gets whacked with no fanfare. Jack screws over German Intelligence. Audrey's a traitor. The president declares martial law. And Wayne Palmer (WTF IS HE DOING BACK?!?) is being attacked by covert op teams commanded by the vice president on his way to tell Aaron about "something."

What a bizarre episode.

I turned Audrey. Sorry.

I'm left wondering if anyone will survive this season at all. So far we've lost President Palmer (second best Character on TV), Michelle, Tony, Edgar, Sam from TLOTR, 40% of CTU...things aren't looking up for Chloe, Audrey, or Bill. Maybe we'll see Jack die a few times this season.

Audrey being named as the informant is interesting. In the first season of 24, Nina was named as an informant within a few episodes but convinced Jack she wasn't a traitor. Same sort of situation this time. So what does Jack do this time around?

Everything in the episode all seemed to come out of left field. I'm still not sure what to make of it all.

Yeah, it's not that I specifically disliked anything in this episode, I just don't know where any of it came from or why any of it happened. Lots of weird new stuff to throw at us in one episode without any meaningful connections yet.

Also, what was with the horrible B-movie techno-rock playing during the second half of the episode? That I did specifically dislike.
