The 3 dumbest things to happen on 24 this year:

1. The terrorists decide to distribute Sentox gas thru the natural gas system to peoples furnaces (homes). Apparently oblivious to the fact that burning the gas reders it harmless, as demonstrated by an AWESOME explosion.

2. Jack failed to make a copy of the recording immediately after getting it from the bank.

3. Miles erased the only copy of the recording with a red flashlight (if this turns out the be what happened last night).

Jack Bauer Death Count

Balance--28
3am-4am No Kills

Oh man, if the prez would have shot himself, I would have given up on this show. But I agree, I still can't believe that Jack hasn't played this thing for about 70 different people. So Audrey's dad heard it though right? And he's alive.

So Jack shows up at CTU gives the recording to Chloe, and he goes off and makes out with Audrey. How could he be so careless...

Uhhh yeah.... that was a pretty lame episode.


Jack just hands this uber important piece of evidence that multiple people have died for tonight, to an UNGUARDED computer tech. Riiiiiiight.

And hey, while we're at it, let's transfer Bieko for no apparent reason !

I have to agree, 24 has really gone downhill during these last few episodes. Heller should have died period. Do you realize what kind of impact there would have been on his winshield from a fall that high?


Ugggggggh end the season. just end the season.

Oh yeah, and how about having direct orders to check all ID's, and then just let them go because they are CTU. The group that Jack works for. Who cares it's almost over, I can't wait to see how it all ends up.

I have these horrible dreams where Jack Bauer is jumping over this big aquatic animal with sharp teeth over and over and over...

Remember when I defended 24 about 15 posts ago? I retract my defense. The ending of this season is hurting my soul.

Yeah, marq, seriously. He's been told that there's an imminent attack and he has two options:

1) seal the hatch and wait for help since people outside the sub have a much better vantage point and don't have to go through one hatch to come in and out where they'd be easily ambushed or

2) grab a gun (I'm sure as a submarine captain he has extensive experience using a gun in close-quarters combat situations, sure) and roll on out the hatch to lay the smackdown

Only in the the 24-verse does someone pick #2.

Nah, I'm just frustrated. I think this is at least the third best season (certainly better than three or four, as far as I'm concerned) and it might be better than season two. I guess I'll have to see how things shake out before I can make that determination. At the same time, some HORRIBLY stupid shit has happened. And when you can see it coming and can also see that it'd be really easy to prevent and it happens anyway, and it keeps happening, it eventually gets to be annoying.

I'll watch 24 religiously until it goes off the air, I'm just wishing they'd not taken some of these illogical shortcuts at the end of this season in order to stretch out the tension.

no answers as to who that secret group of people were, but I did appreciate the ending with Jack being carted to China. I've been saying it for years: the one thing this show could really use is a change of scenery. If next season is about Jack escaping from imprisonment in China, I might have to tune in, even if I was really disappointed with this season overall.

although, as i typed that, i realize how similar that might be to 24's sister show, Prison Break (never seen it though).

My one liner would be: A decent end to a bad season.

carry on.

Well, I'd put it about even with season two overall, and certainly better than seasons three and four.

I guess this was about the only way for the season to end, though it's a hearbreaker to see Jack and Audrey split up again. Also, honestly, how the Chinese happened to know where Jack had kidnapped the president to and gotten there and gone totally unnoticed by the security detail and get out is well outside of my ability to comprehend or really appreciate. I'm pretty sure the location of someone arrested for kidnapping and interrogating the president isn't really common knowledge. But this has certainly been a season marked by a lot of stupid stuff, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

It was what it was, and there were certainly plenty of great moments in the finale and the season, at least the first 18 or so epsiodes, was really enjoyable.

They certainly implied that they were headed off to china in that big ocean liner. So I wonder if the next 24 we will see someone new emerge, and go find Jack. It has to be soon, or Jack is in a world of hurt.

Well Keifer is on for another 3(4?) seasons, and I doubt Fox would pay him what I'm sure he's commanding at this point to play second fiddle to any of the other people in the show, not that I don't love the, they're just have none of his star power.

Additionally, I love watching things (old movies and TV shows) and seeing people from 24 in them and getting to get really excited about it. "in the Army Now" with Pauly Shore was on last night, and the actor who plays Aaron was their recruiter. It was awesome.

Yeah it was an OK ending to a kinda lame season.

I'm glad Henderson got capped, but if I was Jack I would have made him suffer more.

I think the most tense scene of the finale was when that petty officer had the stab the bad guy from behind. I thought fur sure the kid was gonna get pwned.


I agree that the change of scenary could really improve the show. I've grown tired of the Los Angeles locale.

And Chloe was MARRIED !? LOL !

I'm pretty sure they needed another over-weight bald dude for next season to replace Edgar, hence bringing in Chloe's ex-husband.

I was kinda wondering if he did get pwned. I mean, did he watch Jack shoot an unarmed Robocop? After Jack kills Robocop, we see the kid's head sticking out of the hatch. Then Jack walks towards the kid, and.... commercial break, with no further mention of him. I'm thinking he got a big plate of the Bauer Special.

Logan mentioned a couple of times that the Bower situation was being taken care of. Just wondering if Logan tipped off the Chinese that Jack was alive, and set in motion his capture... Logan's plan was never explicitly stated. (At least as far as I remember...)

Good point. I never thought about the relationship between China and Ex-President Logan. Logan was a tool throughout his presidency, so it would make sense to sell out Bauer to China.

Not to bring reality to 24 or anything, but it did occur to me that the president could've tipped off the Chinese. This would assume that he didn't get caught and lives happily ever after. Now, would it really look very good for anyone if a person accused of treason and kidnapping/attempting to murder the president disappeared out of secret service custody? You're damn right it wouldn't, because it would look like he escaped. And, after everything else that happened, I don't think that's a very good result.

Having the Chinese know where to be makes NO sense at all. Either the president tips them off and you get the bizarre and unlikely situation above or they just happen to figure out on their own, which makes about as much sense. They wanted to include it in this season instead of it happening between seasons and to leave a cliffhanger at the end. It was poorly conceived and poorly executed.

but given all the things that president logan thought he could get away with (the cyntox, attacking the russian motorcade, shooting down the plane with jack on it), it seems that giving jack's location away to the chinese ranks up there in terms of its absurdity (if not below them).

who knows if he actually did it, though.

Yeah sorry, I have been pretty busy this week, what with being a new Dad and all.

The final tally:


Jack Bauer Death Count
Balance--28
5am-6am Jack shoots and kills 4 lackeys on the Sub, then twists off Julian Sands' noggin. Finally Jack blows RoboCop away. 6 Kills
6am-7am No kills
Final Total=34 Kills in 24 Hours
That works out to 1.42 kills/hour or one kill every 42 minutes.

Just out of curiousity anyone played the 24 game yet?

I just rented it this weekend, and I found it to be a good time for about that long. Granted I wasnt very busy this weekend so I ended up playing alot... anyway...
Voice acting is top notch, everyone is in there (game takes place between season 2-3 so no Audrey or Heller...) and there are several characters that you do play as not all Jack all the time.
Graphics are pretty good for the PS2
Gameplay was fairly easy to learn, but I HATED any time I had to drive. Maybe I've just played too much GTA in my time but it felt like I was trying to drive an armoured car when I'm driving a jeep...
Oh and I love that (especially considering how shafted he got this season...) Tony kicks so much ass in the game.
