24 *major spoilers if you missed it*

[MannyIsGod]

Thats how I approached the last season. Its really just a soap opera on testosterone.

I really wish they'd kill the romance BS though. God I hate that.

[Ballcox]

^I've watched season 1 and season 5, missed seasons 2,3 & 4.

Any recommendations on which seasons out of 2,3 and 4 to watch first? Should I just watch them in order? Any suggestions from 24 fans appreciated, also pumped up for season 6 to start!

[Spurminator]

Yeah, watch them in order. Season 2 is my personal favorite.

[MannyIsGod]

Season 2 is the best IMO.

[T Park]

Oh you mean a stretch like from a First Lady to a presidential candidate

huh???

what are you talking about


no the most unrealistic thing ive ever seen on 24 was landing the plane on the freeway outside LA.

That highway isn't that alone at 3 in the morning, let alone whenever they did it.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

The first few episodes of season 6 have been leaked... if anyone wants to watch them online instead of waiting http://www.alluc.org/alluc/tv-shows.html?action=getviewcategory&category_uid=3875

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

btw episode 1 is the episode that just says "Part 1 (fixed)", "Part 2 (fixed)" and "Part 3 (fixed)"

I don't remember much of Season 2, but Season 3 (I believe that's the one with the chemical outbreak in the hotel) was one of my favorites, but Season 4 kicked ass. Marwan owns.

He wasn't just an aid to Palmer, he is Palmer's brother so it's not that unrealistic that he could be the next president.

[2centsworth]

I watched the first episode. Looks great, but I don't think I'll watch any more until Sunday.

thanks for the awesome hookup!

[MannyIsGod]

I'll wait to watch them in HD.

[Leetonidas]

Starts in about 7 hours. I'm so psyched.

[leemajors]

lemme guess, he runs around screaming and shoots some people, and some stuff blows up?

nothing wrong with liking it, but don't pretend there's too much more to it.

[Leetonidas]

nothing wrong with liking it, but don't pretend there's too much more to it.
But there's not much more to anything on TV or on the big screen. Just about everything can be summed up like that.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I've read in a couple of places that the first five minutes of the first episode tonight is supposed to be the most insane sequence in the history of the series.

not as easily as 24.

Ehhh... not really

[Leetonidas]

not as easily as 24.
It wouldn't be one of the best shows on TV if it was so boring and predictable.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

San Antonio got bombed!

[MannyIsGod]

He bit him! :lmao

[MannyIsGod]

:lol Jack in a low rider! Oh man, this season kicks ass so far.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Dude, the little terrorist got vampired. :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol Jack in a low rider! Oh man, this season kicks ass so far.

I wish it had hydraulics. That would have been awesome.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The only thing that really disappointed me about tonight was that as soon as they took Kumar's dad away, I knew it would be the kid who was the bad guy. That, and with the nice neighborly white family helping him out, you knew he was going to turn out to be the bad guy.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Tomorrow's episodes are insane...

[Extra Stout]

Things to remember:

1) Your Muslim friend might be a terrorist.
2) If the FBI arrests a Muslim who actually is innocent, it is only because one of his family members is the real terrorist.
3) Your seemingly hateful and bigoted anti-Muslim neighbor actually is right.
4) By keeping your seemingly hateful and bigoted neighbor from beating the crap out of your Muslim friend, your place the blood of innocents on your hands when your Muslim friend blows himself up.
5) Your Muslim friend actually hates you because you cannot pronounce his name with an Arabic accent.
6) A well-dressed, professional-looking Muslim is that much likelier to be a terrorist.
7) The only person who can tell the difference between a good Muslim and a bad Muslim is Jack Bauer, and he is a fictional character.

Sleep tight, kids, and don't forget to look under your bed for Muslims!

It's television. My opinion of you just dropped a few notches.

[MannyIsGod]

The season is off to a good start. :tu

[Extra Stout]

It's television. My opinion of you just dropped a few notches.
Oh, c'mon, you mean I can't snark 24?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The season is off to a good start. :tu

Yep. Jack's got some competition in Assad as far as biggest bad ass goes.

WTF was up with Curtis? His lack of emotion when they handcuffed Jack was a little weird.

[MannyIsGod]

Its 24 dude. The less emotion the better.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah, but there wasn't even a nod. Even Buchanan patted him on the back.

Still can't believe Jack killed that guy by biting out his neck...

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, that was sweet. I knew it was going to be a good season when I saw who was playign Assad and when he did that. :tu

[Spurminator]

The vampire escape is one of the greatest things I've ever seen on TV.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

The season is off to a good start. :tu

I did not like the first episode very much (aside from the vampire escape) I'm not fond of how they handled the whole season 5 cliff hanger situation.

[MannyIsGod]

True. They basically dismissed it completely. The thing on the DVDs was also pointless when you consider how they got him back. But whatever. 24 is my testosterone driven soap opera.

[T Park]

I am tired of the Muslim terrorists

as opposed to Jewish terrorists that want to attack america.

[Leetonidas]

I thought it was stupid how the Chinese let him go like that. I am tired of the Muslim terrorists. It seems like every season is like this. The vampire shit was siiiiiiiiiick. While this is going to be a good season, I still am looking forward more to LOST and the final episodes of Prison Break.
There's only been terrorists in half the seasons if I'm correct.

I'm sure the Chinese didn't just give him away for free. The US is gonna give them something back, just wait. :wakeup

[Leetonidas]

I personally think these two episodes were meant to build us up for some real exciting shit tomorrow.

[Trainwreck2100]

as opposed to Jewish terrorists that want to attack america.

You do know there have been Jewish terrorists right?

Also Asaad is the shit and I hope they don't kill him off.

[Josh810]

I personally think these two episodes were meant to build us up for some real exciting shit tomorrow.
I have heard this as well. I heard it's gonna be insane.

[MannyIsGod]

as opposed to Jewish terrorists that want to attack america.Do you want to see the same thing over and over again? How about a season with Jack against the Chinese? How about something with North Korea. How about a season against domestic terrorists? Don't be so narrowminded.

[SoCalSpursFan]

Wow.

Best. Show. Ever.

[ALVAREZ6]

Damn, I can't believe last night was the first time I watched 24. This show is fuckin great.


Can't wait til tonight's episodes.

[T Park]

Do you want to see the same thing over and over again? How about a season with Jack against the Chinese? How about something with North Korea. How about a season against domestic terrorists? Don't be so narrowminded

I don't write the fucking show, talk to them.



You do know there have been Jewish terrorists right?


No, I had zero clue :rolleyes

[Extra Stout]

You do know there have been Jewish terrorists right?
Yeah, but that TV show would have to be a period piece with Jack's British great-great uncle in Scotland Yard.

[Extra Stout]

Perhaps it could be called Four-and-Twenty.

[Trainwreck2100]

Yeah, but that TV show would have to be a period piece with Jack's British great-great uncle in Scotland Yard.


not neccesarily, they can write in historians findingh the promised land to be America.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Do you want to see the same thing over and over again? How about a season with Jack against the Chinese? How about something with North Korea. How about a season against domestic terrorists? Don't be so narrowminded.

Until I saw the previews for this year, with the way last year ended, I was expecting most of this season to be Jack vs. China.

[ALVAREZ6]

so who's gonna watch tonight's new episodes?

[MannyIsGod]

tricky tricky

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So, anyone else think the component is for a nuke?

[MannyIsGod]

Ohhhh, that'd be sweet. I didn't even think about that. The seasons with nukes kick the most ass.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn, the kid is a pussy. Shoulda just offed Kumar right then and there. Fuck kid, look around at what's going on in the country, you know the package is part of some bad shit. Fucking nut up and be a man.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I don't get how Wayne can be such a hard ass to his sister, but he's willing to follow along on everything Fayed wants...

By the way, I'm calling it now - Curtis caps Assad before tonight is over.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, too many pussies in this show. Curtis won't kill Assad though. I bet Jack kills Curtis. :o

[Leetonidas]

Is it me or can no one take Kumar very serious? :lol

[MannyIsGod]

eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

And yeah, casting Kumar is like casting Same Wise/Rudy. WTF?

[Leetonidas]

WHAT...THE...FUCK...

Fucking traitors.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So, anyone else think the component is for a nuke?

*ahem*

:drunk

[mookie2001]

this shit is sick, putting muslims in camps and the like, you know theyre building huge fema camps all over this country to actually do shit like this to illegals and muslims and whoever the fuck they want when the next patriot act is passed after the next act of "terrorism".

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Okay, I have to bag on 24 a little bit on that one. With the whole guard eyeing the terrorist bomber dude in the hangar, and the way they filmed the traitor guard getting on the bus, it was obvious the bad guy was still on the bus.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

this shit is sick, putting muslims in camps, and the like, you know theyre building huge fema camps all over this country to actually do shit like this to illegals and muslims and whoever the fuck they want when the next patriot act is passed after the next act of "terrorism".

Dude, it's a fucking tv show. Calm down. If you're gonna go ghostal about this, I'd hate to hear what you think about The Siege.

[mookie2001]

a tv show thats very close to real life

[MannyIsGod]

Its nothing close to real life. STFU and take your shit to the political forum and let me have my testosterone driven soap opera.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hoooly shit. This is good.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Its nothing close to real life. STFU and take your shit to the political forum and let me have my testosterone driven soap opera.

:tu

Piss off, mookie.

[mookie2001]

look at the history brah, western governments sponsoring terrorism... crystal city texas brah

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

a tv show thats very close to real life

Yeah, there's bombs blowing up around this country every day. Nukes and biological weapons too.

:rolleyes

Like I said, go watch "The Siege" and then you might have something to bitch about.

[MannyIsGod]

God damn. ITS FUCKING 24. ALL I CARE IS THAT JACK KILLS MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE THEY WERE ROACHES.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

God damn. ITS FUCKING 24. ALL I CARE IS THAT JACK KILLS MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE THEY WERE ROACHES.

I can't wait to see how Kumar gets offed :lol

Hopefully the kid nuts up and kicks his ass.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

God damn. ITS FUCKING 24. ALL I CARE IS THAT JACK KILLS MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE THEY WERE ROACHES.

Geeeeeeeez, Post a spoiler alert next time

[MannyIsGod]

I just want to know where the fuck Harold is

[mookie2001]

seige is a movie or show? Id bet seige isnt the most popular show on tv, on for 2 hours every night and free for kids to watch


its transparent chickenhawk bullshit, theres the spoiler
and like you said its just a tv show

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The Siege is a movie. Check it out, then you'll have a reason to get your panties in a bunch.

Leave the rhetoric out of this thread.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

********** spoiler alert*************








So if they get it armed by the end of this show, next week is going to be epic. He said to set it for less than an hour to detonate. :wow

[Leetonidas]

Oh my God...

[MannyIsGod]

I fucking knew it. I can't wait for season 11 when Jack kills his daughter.

[Leetonidas]

Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Oh my god. I didn't see that coming. Fucking SWEET.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Curtis :(

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT.

[Leetonidas]

That's horrible. I did not even see that coming...Jesus Christ...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I can't believe he shot Curtis. Mother fucker.

The shitty thing is Assad is going to betray the pardon, and Curtis will have died for nothing.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

********** spoiler alert*************

So much for that one.

[Leetonidas]

And Fayed isn't even dead because he left to his "safe house." And there are 4 more of those? Holy Mother of God

[MannyIsGod]

Curtis being shot by Jack was obvious. They can't get rid of Assad's character that fast because the dude that plays him is a decent actor who I'm sure they paid a decent amount for.

Did you see the look on Curtis' face when he went down though? I thought for sure the pussy dad would do something to stop the bomb, but he just got nuked instead. :lol

[Clandestino]

that dudes dad shouldve call the cops. you never make deals with terrorists... hasn't he seen enough movies???

[Leetonidas]

Jack is back.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Holy shit, Jack face to face with the bluetooth dude next week :wow

[MannyIsGod]

:lol @ blue tooth dude. I'm sorry, but I think about Robocop everytime I see him.

[Clandestino]

the one person i hate from the show is the president's aide. the squirrely motherfucker

[Leetonidas]

Holy shit, Jack face to face with the bluetooth dude next week :wow

"You're hurting me!"

"Trust me, I'm not."

Shot yes, killed no. Come on, it's Jack. He could have just winged him...

Agreed on Assad, I just didn't expect Curtis to get killed.

I can't believe the dad didn't do something. Fuck man, he should have figured out when he got there that he wasn't getting out alive. Go out a hero....

Next week looks intense.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Damn... Curtis was a badass. R.I.P.

[MannyIsGod]

the one person i hate from the show is the president's aide. the squirrely motherfuckerThey always put shitty people around the president. I usually hate them. I hated the last president. He was fucking annoying.

[NASpurs]

Um.. Jack was close enough to see the mushroom cloud which means he should get some radiation poisoning right? Whatever, they won't kill Jack unless later on in the show when he gets some kind of cancer probably.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

They always put shitty people around the president. I usually hate them. I hated the last president. He was fucking annoying.

Yeah, he was a little slime ball when he was at CTU, I don't get how he got bumped up to the WH.

[MannyIsGod]

Nah, radation goes with the wind because its carried on the debris and what not. It depends on where the wind is moving but anyhow the point is that even if 24 followed science correctly (and they usually don't) Jack being able to see it doesn't mean much.

[Clandestino]

i'm sure you could see the mushroom cloud for miles and miles.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Um.. Jack was close enough to see the mushroom cloud which means he should get some radiation poisoning right? Whatever, they won't kill Jack unless later on in the show when he gets some kind of cancer probably.

They said they were 20 miles from the warehouse at that family's house. That's far enough away for a small nuke like that.

[Clandestino]

right, the show can't be 100% accurate. if it was the president would be underground or in the air.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

right, the show can't be 100% accurate. if it was the president would be underground or in the air.

Who says he won't be next week?

[Clandestino]

he would've already been there. but sure they can move him next week.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Yeah, he was a little slime ball when he was at CTU, I don't get how he got bumped up to the WH.

I don't think it's the same guy... i could be wrong though

[Leetonidas]

right, the show can't be 100% accurate. if it was the president would be underground or in the air.
The president is in LA?

[Clandestino]

no, but when crazy shit happens the president is moved.

[MannyIsGod]

Dude, the moment there was a threat of a nuke the President would have been on Marine One headed for AF One. But its 24.

[King]

Um.. Jack was close enough to see the mushroom cloud which means he should get some radiation poisoning right? Whatever, they won't kill Jack unless later on in the show when he gets some kind of cancer probably.

That's a good one, dude. Jack gets radiation poisoning.

[Extra Stout]

Jack has a three-year contract, so maybe he gets disfigured and vomits a bunch, but he won't die.

[MannyIsGod]

Jack is immortal. How do 24 fans not understand this?

[Extra Stout]

If they're being at all realistic on 24, will they show ordinary Americans frothing at the mouth, dragging their Muslim neighbors out of their homes, and beating them to death?

[adrienne]

Just ended here, and can I just say...

NOOOOOOOO CURTIS NOOOOO!!!!:(

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If they're being at all realistic on 24, will they show ordinary Americans frothing at the mouth, dragging their Muslim neighbors out of their homes, and beating them to death?

Um, that's kind of what went down in episode 2, but the hothead bubba got capped by Kumar.

[Leetonidas]

If they're being at all realistic on 24, will they show ordinary Americans frothing at the mouth, dragging their Muslim neighbors out of their homes, and beating them to death?
Um, yeah, they showed that already.

[Extra Stout]

look at the history brah, western governments sponsoring terrorism... crystal city texas brah
I dunno, mookie, maybe the FBI needs to take a look at you. I'm not sure I can trust your loyalties. You might be secret al-Qaeda like Barack Hussein Obama.

[Leetonidas]

Did anyone else think it was funny when Ahmed said "you don't even know my name. It's not Ah-Med, It's Achhh-Med"

[Extra Stout]

I have a question -- 2:00 left in the fourth quarter, Tom Brady is driving for the winning score. Jack Bauer is the only player on defense.

What happens?

[Extra Stout]

Did anyone else think it was funny when Ahmed said "you don't even know my name. It's not Ah-Med, It's Achhh-Med"
If would have been even funnier if little droplets of spit had landed on the white kid.

[Leetonidas]

I have a question -- 2:00 left in the fourth quarter, Tom Brady is driving for the winning score. Jack Bauer is the only player on defense.

What happens?
Jack rips his hands off with his mouth and runs it in with the ball, and Tom Brady's bloody hand still attached to it, to the endzone and wins.

[Spurfect]

so the President was having suuuch a hard time giving Assad a pardon (haven't they given pardons before to other terrorists?) yet he didn't seem to hesitate as much with letting what, 10+ prisoners free? lol
funny...
I don't like Wayne as a President yet. and what is up with his sister? she's being annoying
the ending was shocking and I was actually pretty pissed at first. i mean Jack killed CURTIS, a good guy (and damn good agent) and saved a former terrorist? It just seemed SO WRONG :( :cry

[Spurfect]

oh and also... those damn terrorists, they are such pansies.
The MOMENT things start to look bad for them, they go to their nearest bomb and hit the trigger. wussies

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You think that's bad, wait until Assad turns his back on Jack and the president. Then Curtis died for nothing.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

My thoughts on the first four hours:
1. Nukes? Again?!?! And these dopes managed to get their hands on five? Come on.
2. After 5 years of never being wrong people still bother to ask Jack questions.
3. The president gets screwed on the first deal he cut with Fayed, so he makes another. Grrrrrr. Not liking President Palmer 2.0.
4. Jack cries every day, we all know that, but he did it earlier than ever this year. Used to be it'd be at the towards the end of the season. Then he cried when Tony died last year around hour 15, and now it's at the end of hour 4. Possible shark jumping warning there.
5. I honestly was surprised that they killed Curtis. I figured Jack would have to shoot him in the leg or something.
6. I give it 6 weeks tops before Kim or Audrey shows up and I really hope they get shot too.

[Spurfect]

I found it interesting how he asked for Audrey before Kim :lol

[LaMarcus Bryant]

rofl
this show is still on the air? I think I remember watching the first season in high school...

[Spurminator]

Why doesn't Jack just fly around the earth backwards and turn back time to BEFORE the nuke was detonated?

Lazy writers.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Alex Jones predicted this show would be immensely popular long before Keifer won his 23rd emmy due to 24.

[Josh810]

Wasn't last year Kiefer's first Emmy win?

[T Park]

People laugh at this stuff.


If we keep fucking around with terrorists, and squabbling in Washington over how to treat the poor poor people in Cuba, and worrying if were "violating the rights" of terrorist scumbags.

Were gonna have Nuculear Weapons go off in our country.

Tpark, STFU. And take it to the political forum.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Don't you guys get it? If we stop arguing about the political ramifications of a fictional president's actions then the terrorists have already won.

[T Park]

STFU yourself. You arent the forum god and no one gives a shit what you think.

Go back to lusting for Barbara the office slut.

[T Park]

Well...you saw what happened to Curtis, right?

[tsb2000]

I think there should be a vbookie about how many more of those 4 remaining nukes are detonated before the season is over. :)

[Spurminator]

I'm enjoying this season a lot more than last season so far, mainly because I've lowered my expectations. I've accepted the fact that getting across Los Angeles takes 5 minutes for some people and 45 minutes for others. I've accepted the fact that people at CTU will be hung up on romantic relationships during a national crisis. I've gotten used to the "Civil Rights Issues for Beginners" level of editorializing in the writing.

I'm approaching this season like I would approach watching a James Bond movie, and so far I love it.

[johnsmith]

I need to start watching this damn show. Should I start from the beginning on DVD's or does it not matter?



I heard they blew up LA last night. I bet Boutons was excited.

[Spurminator]

It's not essential that you start at the first season.

Hell, if last season's any indicator, you really don't even have to start with the first EPISODE of a given season.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I need to start watching this damn show. Should I start from the beginning on DVD's or does it not matter?



I heard they blew up LA last night. I bet Boutons was excited.

This season you could probably just jump right in and make plenty of sense of who the people are and what their relationships to each are, however a few of these people have been around for a few seasons and in the case of the president have roots stretching back to the very first season. If you want to get caught up in a hurry there are plenty of websites where you can get episode recaps for the entire show. If you want some humor thrown in with it I recommend televisionwithoutpity.com.

[Spurminator]

I was pissed when Jack shot Curtis last night. Not because of the fact that I liked Curtis, but because I never got a chance to predict this would happen. I saw it coming, and I didn't tell anyone, so I lost the opportunity to say "I told you so."

With that in mind, here are my predictions for the rest of Season 6. I have not pulled these from any other sources, nor have I read any spoilers or 24 fansites. That's not how I roll.

- Assad, while not working in cooperation with Fayed, is part of a much larger terrorist plot which will be revealed when Fayed is dead.

- The President will be led to believe that Tom Lennox is somehow working with the Terrorists (or the Bluetooth guys), but will later find out that his insubordinance was simply his Neocon ideology taking hold of his judgment. Stupid Neocons.

- New York City and Washington DC are targets for two of the remaining suitcase bombs.

- Milo is the father of Chloe's baby.

- Morris is a mole.

- Bill Buchanan will be killed. Possibly by Morris.

- At the end of Season 6, Kim will finally die. Audrey will not die, but she will come close after suffering injuries as a result of being taken hostage.

[Clandestino]

- Assad, while not working in cooperation with Fayed, is part of a much larger terrorist plot which will be revealed when Fayed is dead. hmm... i don't see this happening. he may be working at ctu very shortly though.

- The President will be led to believe that Tom Lennox is somehow working with the Terrorists (or the Bluetooth guys), but will later find out that his insubordinance was simply his Neocon ideology taking hold of his judgment. Stupid Neocons. who is everyone calling the bluetooth guys?

- New York City and Washington DC are targets for two of the remaining suitcase bombs. bit of a stretch??? haha.. they are ALWAYS targeted in movies!

- Milo is the father of Chloe's baby.

- Morris is a mole. been thinking this too..

- Bill Buchanan will be killed. Possibly by Morris.

- At the end of Season 6, Kim will finally die. Audrey will not die, but she will come close after suffering injuries as a result of being taken hostage.

[Spurminator]

who is everyone calling the bluetooth guys?

They were the puppet masters in Season 5. The three guys that were always on the phone with the President. Based on the preview, one of them appears in the next episode.

[mookie2001]

"violating the rights" of terrroristif that means putting Muslims "internment camps"

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Assad, while not working in cooperation with Fayed, is part of a much larger terrorist plot which will be revealed when Fayed is dead.

I've already called that one earlier in the thread. Like I said, Assad will double cross Jack/CTU, and then there will be the moment where Jack realizes he killed Curtis for nothing.

Not much of a reach on the cities targeted. I'm also beginning to think Morris is a mole...

It will also be interesting to see the dynamic play out between Walid and Palmer's sister. I think Walid will end up getting more info. out of the guys in the holding facility, but she won't pass on the info. because it wasn't obtained legally or some bullshit like that.

Maybe even info. that would have stopped a bomb going off in say D.C. that ends up killing her brother. Something twisted like that.

[Spurminator]

but she won't pass on the info. because it wasn't obtained legally or some bullshit like that.

:lol

Good call.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

With that in mind, here are my predictions for the rest of Season 6. I have not pulled these from any other sources, nor have I read any spoilers or 24 fansites. That's not how I roll.

- Assad, while not working in cooperation with Fayed, is part of a much larger terrorist plot which will be revealed when Fayed is dead.

- The President will be led to believe that Tom Lennox is somehow working with the Terrorists (or the Bluetooth guys), but will later find out that his insubordinance was simply his Neocon ideology taking hold of his judgment. Stupid Neocons.

- New York City and Washington DC are targets for two of the remaining suitcase bombs.

- Milo is the father of Chloe's baby.

- Morris is a mole.

- Bill Buchanan will be killed. Possibly by Morris.

- At the end of Season 6, Kim will finally die. Audrey will not die, but she will come close after suffering injuries as a result of being taken hostage.

Some bold predictions there.
-I think Assad will actually pick up where Fayed leaves off. Despite Jack's best efforts and a presidential pardon either someone at CTU or Peter McNichol will have Assad detained and tortured. In light of the fact that those actions will countermand a presidential pardon Assad will believe the orders came straight from the president. He'll lose faith in a peaceful political approach and go back to terrorism.

-I'm with you on Tom Lennox. I think he is in cahoots with the blue toothers but it will turn out that they're just using his crazy neocon ass for something bigger.

-DC is definitely a target. NYC? Maybe. If it is it'll be the sort of thing where they have to work their asses off to get its location in New York and Jack will get a phone call later saying the FBI got it. I don't think any more nukes go off today. My way-too-specific-dark-horse-prediction: CTU will believe the last nuke is in LA. They'll track it down but not in time. The timer hits zero and...nothing. Turns out it was a red herring and the real one is in DC.

-Milo as Chloe's baby daddy is the exact sort of stupid side plot that would fill those middle hours well. It's not Kim and the Cougar, but it's close.

-Morris as a mole seems plausible. True to mole form he won't have a clue what the bad guys were up to, he just took the money and gave them a window of access.

-Buchanan in a body bag was on my mind at the start of the season but after Curtis got killed my gut is betting on Karen Hayes instead. No good reason, just my gut.

-I hope you're right about Kim. I hate her.

Was thinking the same thing... I was kind of hoping to see Jack pull a trick from Assad and shove a knife in Graham's knee. Maybe next week....

[mookie2001]

I just searched james cromwell, as part of my 24 immersion research, ROFL, i saw the 24 commerical yesterday I was like woah, thats the guy from babe pig in the city

[Spurminator]

The kid HAS to be Jack's

Could they have made it any more obvious? Maybe a longer, more awkward pause during their completely unnecessary meeting would have done the trick.

And I really hoped Donald Sutherland would be the father...

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Donald Sutherland as Jack's dad would have been too cool. Although Cromwell has some potential too. He had that proper air of a father figure and a menacing a-hole in LA Confidential. Bonus points to the writers if at some point this year Jack strangles a guy to death in front of his dad. And when the guy goes limp his father puts his hand on Jack's shoulder, and says, "That'll do Jack, that'll do."

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Come on, they did surprise everyone with the Bluetooth prick being his brother. They can't roll out a gotcha on every plot twist :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

5 bucks Milo is the only guy that can reprogram those nukes.

[MannyIsGod]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN BLUE TOOTH DUDE IS A BAUER!

That was odd. Jack's son looked like Kim. So yeah, must be his son. Bad Ass Jr.?

Today's been a pretty shitty episode if you're rooting for the good guys...

* didn't get anything out of the detainees

* Walid got the shit beat out of him

* Tom gets Karen Hughes booted out in DC

* it's obvious Nadia is this year's spy inside CTU, and Milo just unknowingly helped her

Need a strong finish here in the last 15. Jack needs to beat the shit out of Graem, but we know from the previews he gets jumped.

Garahm is gonna get his faggot ass owned next week.

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry weak episode

[Leetonidas]

"WE ARE NOT THE SAME!"

Haha gotta love it.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Graem's going to get owned next week. That's going to be awesome.

Hmmm, here's my SWAG on the nukes:

Nadia kidnaps Chloe, passes her off to some of Fayed's men, and then tells one of Milo or Morris (whoever's profile it is that the broker receives on his laptop) that she dies unless they do the programming, and of course they go along with it.

Can't wait to see Jack beat the shit out of Graem next week though.

I doubt Nadia is the mole.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I doubt Nadia is the mole.

The look she gave over the access situation when Buchanan left from talking with her seemed to give it away, and there was another look when Milo logged on for her.

I guess it could be another one of those 'too obvious' moments, but she just fits the bill.

I thought Karen was one of the bad guys? :lol

The episode was indeed kinda slow; I don't think we're going to see any more real action (regarding the nukes and Fayed) until the end of the season. Then Jack Bauer will have his revenge.

I can't wait for Jack's brother to get the crap beat out of him- he's such a shmuck.

I guess it could be another one of those 'too obvious' moments, but she just fits the bill.


Here's how I see it going down...

At some point CTU will be led to believe Nadia is a mole when they find out that someone at CTU has been contacted about reprogramming the other bombs. Her use of Milo's username will be evidence of this, as well as her ethnic background.

But the real mole/programmer is Morris.

[2centsworth]

I liked the dialogue. The mole has yet to show his/her face.

Jacks brother is probably going the way of Ralph Cifarretto of the Sopranos.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

But the real mole/programmer is Morris.

I'm leaning towards Morris being the guy who can program the nukes, but I'm predisposed towards Milo because he's been around so long. Of course, never saw Curtis getting capped either.

I fully expect there to be two moles in CTU - Nadia and one of Morris/Milo.

[ALVAREZ6]

Jack's brother is a pussy ass bitch. Jack should have suffocated his bitch ass in front of his family.

[thispego]

what kind of phone did Jack's brother have?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Nadia is going to be a mole. The producers did their P.C. pennance by making the lead inside the detention center a bust and Walid getting his ass kicked, so now all the viewers see that locking up Muslims isn't necessarily a good idea. Plus they spent the entire last hour building sympathy for Nadia. The more I think about it the less I think there will be a second mole, however. Here's how I see it play out:

Morris is the programmer McCarthy is trying to track down. The illegal satellite he was controlling in the first few hours let us know that he's had some shady dealings in the past, hence why his name is in McCarthy's rolodex, but McCarthy also said that they'd probably have to force him to do it so I doubt he's on the take. Nadia kidnaps Chloe to force Morris' hand, and is able to keep Milo in the dark because she can play him like a fiddle.

[Spurminator]

Having Walid try to plant the phone back on the inmate was about the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Just leave it on the ground or something, like he dropped it.

Dumb.

[Marklar MM]

Yeah I expected him to pick it up and wander over and say 'you dropped this', not stuff it in his pocket and wait for the guy to figure out it wasn't there.

Why Is Jack's Dad Like 2 Feet Taller Than Jack???>?

Because he banged a midget

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

This has been driving me nuts. Can anyone tell me who the hell the actress is that plays Rita, McCarthy's girlfriend? She looks very familiar but I can't place it.

[tsb2000]

Holy shit Jack's dad just killed his son! :wow

The question is: who's going to plug the old man? Will Jack end up doing it? Apparently, the dad is behind everything, so it will definitely be interesting.

Of course, I think Jack is getting soft since he didn't kill the brother himself.


:wakeup

[rr2418]

I think the actor who played agent Pierce is coming out in the movie Transformers. If you've seen the trailer, he's the guy who tells the helicopter pilot to land. The chopper then starts to transforms into a Deceptecon(sp?).

[Homeland Security]

The plot of this show is unrealistic. Had Islamic terrorists actually successfully detonated a nuclear weapon in the United States, we would be systematically exterminating the ummah.

Also, we use larger drill bits than that Fayed guy. What a wuss.

[T Park]

human rights first can go fuck themselves.

[tsb2000]

I don't think it'll come to that.

It might, now that the old man has the grandson. Next week is going to be great, and a perfect opportunity for Jack to reclaim his "baddest man on the planet" title. :)

[T Park]

This, IMO, is the best season, since season 3.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

human rights first can go fuck themselves.

I'm not about to begin this argument with you, but thanks for sharing that sentiment towards me.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The only gripe I have so far is the whole "Palmer is a weak prez., let's assassinate him" storyline they've got going now. And what do you want to bet they take Assad down with him, and frame it as a suicide attack by him on the president?

Plus, another hit on a Palmer president? Come on...

Other than that, so far pretty exciting season. Can't wait to see Jack go off on pop next week when he learns he was behind the hit attempt.

Wonder what mookie thinks about the Russians framing the Arabs on this nuke plot.

Well, Bush's new budget did just come out.

[MannyIsGod]

The last 3 hours of this season have really sucked. I don't get how anyone can say this is the best season since anything. I thought I could keep putting aside the obvious and flagrant plot holes in favor of enjoying the show, but I think the writers of the show have really started to degenerate horribly. I'm to the point of expecting Jack to come out with a fucking cape and brandish Wolverine claws at the same time. It just really starts to eat at me when they don't make any attempt to make it plausible anymore. Yeah, it was ok for awhile, but in the beginning of the series they made things far more believeable.

Actually, all of that aside, I think the cast for this season is horribly weak. They've finally killed off everyone I like, and the entire CTU team sucks outside of Chloe and Jack. And Chloe's part has been minimal this year. Jack's dad sucks, Jack's extended family sucks, and the new Palmer REALLY sucks. The personalities just aren't nearly as compelling as they've been in the past. Who is there to really like or really hate the way you hated Nina etc etc.

I was singing the praises of the show prior to the last 3 hours because there was more action and some good plot twists, but the crap over the past 3 hours has just been so terrible it is really starting to grate on me. The nuke novelty wore off pretty fast.

[Marklar MM]

Jack is so mighty and powerful, he can disarm a nuclear bomb in a matter of moments. I wasn't paying attention, but how the hell did they get the schematics of the bombs circuitry?

[MannyIsGod]

They didn't bother explaining that. Or any of the other 23483082508245 plot holes.

[MannyIsGod]

Man, I KNOW there are going to be plot holes. Its 24.

BTW the drive across LA only takes 10 minutes now. 20 was apparently too slow.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I'm feeling a sense of hatred for Tom Lennox, but that's just because I like civil rights.

What's actually getting to me (and yes, I know Jack's not gonna bite it) is that the previews for the next week are actually giving everything away.

[Spurminator]

Manny, you're where I was at last year.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Jack is so mighty and powerful, he can disarm a nuclear bomb in a matter of moments. I wasn't paying attention, but how the hell did they get the schematics of the bombs circuitry?

??? They showed CTU pulling it up on a computer after Jack had described what type of nuke it was.
