THEY KILLED PRESIDENT PALMER?!? And Michelle?!? If Tony dies, I don't think I'll ever watch it again...he's the most attractive character on the show.:)

It was just the first episode and I'm already emotionally drained.

I actually kind of like how they've handled it. I was at a loss for how they were going to go about bringing Jack back into it when he was supposed to be dead...and I'm definately already into this season after just two hours.

However, my one true wish for this season is for Chloe and Edgar to hook up.

That's the idea of the show - because nobody saw it coming. And this is actually Jack's first time being an 'outlaw' because this is the first episode where CTU is against him. It can't be old yet.

You forget he got fired between season's 1 and 2?

So hes been barred from CTU only a couple times.

Killing show mainstays in the first 10 minutes - I love it!!! There is nothing better than a good jolt to start the season.

Now we just wait for the inevitable appearance by the skinny brown-headed slut who in every season manages to 1) get laid 2) get involved in some plot to bring down the country. It's amazing she can still find work, given how none of the schemes she's been involved with have ever worked. While she may do her part to perfection (although with some complication, like last season), she doesn't have a track record of success on her resume. Poor slutty terrorist girl...

Wait, what happened to that girl at the end of last season? (I have a hard time remembering, I was distracted by shirtless Almaeda...)

scott
01-16-2006, 01:33 AM
She was in the apartment complex boning some dude (shocker)... and here is where my memory gets sketchy... they searched the complex for her... Tony found her... she held him hostage... I think she eventually got away somehow.

But I'm wondering how anyone else knew of Jack being alive? Only Tony, Michelle, Palmer, and Chloe knew of him faking his death. I guess we'll find out later on. My guess right now is that Chloe gave that info to that guy she was sleeping with. That guy is probably working for the bad guys!

Ok, someone else has spilled it.

What in the FUCK was the reason to kill President Palmer? So Jack will become totally unglued and waste a foreign government or what? Unfucking real. Palmer was just getting his life together following the death of his ex-bitch wife, his big time contributor and his brother's fling with the young assed wife of money bags, by doing those Allstate commercials. I can understand Michelle. but I can not accept David Palmer's death.

On the season 4 prequel they show Jack getting fired and then a sexual moment with him and Audrey.

It's not bad. They get rid of his character permanently without having Palmer overstay his welcome as well as show that they aren't afraid to do anything. I expect Jack to be killed off eventually as well, mostly because that's what Kiefer said they should do with him before his character gets too old.

I screamed out loud "I LOVE THIS SHOW!" when the wall blew out...and there was no one there....and then they come through right behind the terrorists. GREATEST. SHOW. EVER.

By the way, they had better not make Sean Astin in on it...Rudy can not be a terrorist.

Found some torrents of last night's episodes and made it through all 4 tonight.

Pretty good, but they're getting more and more sloppy with the timing... News breaks within 30 seconds of every event? Everyone lives within three minutes from CTU and they change in the car?

Either way, still the best show on Network TV.

Ok, I finished season four last night and I ran through the 4 episodes of seaosn 5 tonight.

The fucking killed the Allstate President! What the hell!?!?!?!? And they killed my boy Tony's wife and seriously fucked up Tony? Damn!

Chloe remains the funniest character on the show, and I'm not too happy with the introduction of a damn hobbit.

There are a few mainstays of each 24 season:

1) There needs to be a mole in CTU. This time the dude in the White House might be the only mole, but I woudln't be suprised to see a CTU mole eventually.

2) Jack needs to be rouge at some point. Already happend in the first episode, but woudln't be suprised to see a few more episodes of rouge Jack.

3) Nuclear Devices must be present.

Man, season five looks to be off to a kick ass start. This show is the best thing on TV right now. The funny thing is that it is so damn unrealistic, and usually that ruins shit for me. But Jack is just such a bad ass it doesn't even matter.

DO IT NOW!

rr2418
01-21-2006, 07:25 PM
First of Manny, you are right about Tony being the man. He was such a bad ass in season 4. He will be important in this season I think.

You said there needs to be a spy in CTU. I know who it is. It HAS to be the guy Chloe is seeing at CTU. She is a nutcase. Why else would he want to be with her other than to get info and shit? He is working for the terrorists.

And this whole not-signing-the-treaty this is just a diversion that the Terrorists are using (Similar to season's 4 train bombing).

The only thing I REALLY WANT TO KNOW is who, out of Jack, Michelle, Palmer, Chloe, or Tony told someone about Jack being alive. My bet is Palmer. That is why he looked guilty before his death.

The real focus of the show is the terrorists killing those who knew about Jack to draw Jack out into the public eye. I think the terrorists plan on using Jack for something. Is Kim Bauer, Jack's daughter, in season 5? If so, she will be kidknapped without a doubt.

Thoughts anyone? Give me your ideas!


By now I guess you've heard of the prequel that runs about 10 minutes. Well, in that prequel, Chloe tells Jack that someone tapped into her computer hard drive while she was trying to doctor Jack's autopsy report. Apparently they knew what they were doing, like which files to get,..etc. Hmmm, seems like maybe a mole at CTU?? I had the same question about how they found out about Jack. I thought it might've been the guy Chloe was sleeping with. But still, why did they tap into Chloe's computer anyway? Did they find out by accident that Jack was still alive? What were they lookong for?

A little too much of the "I still love you Jack" stuff in this episode for my tastes.

Just a question for hardcore 24 fans. I've just finished watching the 1st season of this show and I have to admit, it's been fucking good. I didn't think I would like it much, but I've been into it and really enjoyed the 1st season. So, now I'm watching the current season and haven't seen any of seasons 2&3. Are there any story lines/ongoing themes in the show that someone could summarize for me briefly that would add to my understanding of this season's episodes? I've pieced together some information from reading all the threads on this topic, just wondering if I'm missing out on any other critical info. Thanks for the help! :smokin

Ballcox

Ballcox
01-31-2006, 05:06 PM
^ Well, between only having watched season 1 and now watching season 5, I feel like I've missed out on a lot of the character development, story lines, etc. So, any info to kind of help me connect the dots leading into this season is appreciated. Some of my main questions:

- How did Jack die at the end of last season, what lead to him having to fake his death?

- What's up with his family, daughter and wife? Why did he have to leave them behind?

- What's his status as a federal agent? What were his previous relationships with Palmer and his brother?

- What's up with Palmer's wife?

Probably too many questions, but I'm just trying to put info together as I watch this season. Thanks.

They should bring back the chick Jack had the romantic tension with in season 2 (Aussie actress who played the blonde terrorist bitch's sister). I recall at the beginning of season 3 she called Jack in the first episode and said something to the effect of "I miss you" and that's all we got from her.

Anyway, bring her back to kick the shit out of Audrey, then her and the new chick who "Frank" was living with can make out while hot terrorist bitch watches.

MannyIsGod

God I hate Kim. I hate that shes coming back, but maybe she'll die.

Thats probably my favorite part about 24. You can usually count on the people you dislike on the show dying because everyone dies except Jack. I can't wait for the new president to die because I hate his damn guts.

Pretty decent season so far, but I'm with Spurminator about the romantic bs. They just need to drop it.

- Day 5: 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. (2006) TV Episode .... Kim Bauer


I bet you she is the one at the end of the previews that holds up her hands from behind the bed as Jack is pointing a gun at her.

When he took off his mask and gave it to that little girl (who he referred to as "honey" by the way), then carried her out...I swear I was about to call Kiefer Sutherland and propose marriage. But only if he would permanently take on the identity of Jack Bauer.

Interesting night tonight... The first episode was simply awesome, then it was folowed up with quite possibly the worst episode in the history of the show, not counting the ones with Dennis Hopper.

Why couldn't Kim die? What a perfect opportunity to kill her off and the writers blew it. Her scene with Jack was baffling. Stupifying! Awful! You're telling me THAT'S the reaction a daughter would have upon seeing a father she thought was dead? Is she a robot? What the fuck??

I'm also relieved it takes the LAPD only 45 minutes to find two dead druggies in an apartment after they are shot with a silenced weapon. Los Angeleans should be proud.

The only redeeming part of the episode was Edgar finally dying (quite a cheesy death there too), though I never would have traded him for Kim.

I never watch this show, but my sis and her boyfriend watch it religiously. Its not bad at all. Very good in fact. I need to go back and check out the other seasons, but that President, oh my Lord :bang And yes, Kim's reaction was pretty lame.

spurs_fan_in_exile

It's nice to see that there are people in the world who actually agree that Kim is completely useless. I almost expected there to be a big "Woohoo! Elisha Cuthbert is hot, I'm glad she's back!" reaction. Man, she has to be the worst actress in the history of that show.

Sucks for Edgar to eat it like that, although it finally ends the will they/won't they dynamic between him and Chloe. Of course, she was just wrapping up a one night stand with that Spencer guy when the day/season began so she'd be a pretty big ho if they had. And what the hell happened to Rudy/Sam/McGill? Wasn't he down in a holding cell when this shit went down?

Seems to be leading towards Tony killing the defense contractor that Jack captured in the medical area. The teasers for next week said that one more person was going to die while they locked in. I hope it's Kim new boyfriend, because I just don't like him. You're gonna tell Jack Bauer how to talk to his own daughter? That's a fast track to catching two in the head, sucka.

I really liked both episodes, though I knew the Kim thing would suck. Because she/her character has ALWAYS sucked. Ugh, I hate her.

I knew as soon as the druggie boyfriend said he was selling the keycard that a) they would be killed and b) that the Centox was going into the CTU ventilation system.

I liked that twist. Loved it actually, but was totally baffled by how there are no gas masks available in a counter terrorism unit. It would seem like standard fare to me. Also baffled as to why they were unable to back up the truck containing the containment unit to the door of the hospital . . .

Also, the president = barf and the VP assessment was way off because he clearly had more than 18 targets for detonation of the nerve gas. Also, declare a pre-emptive martial law? Huh? In what world is that a good idea? I know if a pre-emptive martial law was declared in Houston, I'd sit calmly in my home assuming everything was ok!

If they must torture us with Kim's return, I propose that she die in the next episode after crawling through the ventilation system to save her father... Of course, it's a tight squeeze so she'll need to strip down and oil herself up real nice.

Yeah, killing Tony sucks. I kind of figured he wasn't going to make it out of the season alive, but I was hoping he'd go out in a little more of a blaze of glory. Give him a proper send off, like Kiefer Sutherland's "Doc" Scurlock in Young Guns II. What makes it suck worse is that Kim still lives. And I have this gut feeling that we haven't seen the last of her this season. The doctor is somehow connected to this, I just know it.

Just curious a question for the 24 guys.

Are you TRYING to make this season suck?

IMO, this is the worst season yet.

The storyline is boring, killing off damn near everyone in CTU is stupid.

killing off every likeable character is annoying.


Makes you wonder if this is a big sendoff for the show.

Almaeda who was SOMEWHAT interesting, GONE.
Edgar, annoying, but ok like the retarded dude on LA Law. DEAD
Rudy. Porky asshole, but woke up later on from getting the truth bashed into his head.

Do you think Tony's dead?

There was absolutely no reason to bring Tony back if he died like that. He contributed nothing to the storyline this season at all, so what was the point in bringing him back? They could've killed him off with Dessler at the beginning. Something tells me there's more for him.

There was also no silent clock at the end. Whenever someone important dies, the clock is silent at the end of the show. Last night it beeped.

Okay, so I was talking to my Dad, and he read a theory somewhere that I am now convinced is true. :lol

The CTU doctor is involved with the whole plot, and the reason Henderson hasn't cracked is because the chemical/medicine/whatever the crap it is isn't real.

This would also explain the lack of a silent clock at the end of Monday's episode...Tony is not dead. If the stuff wasn't enough to crack Henderson, it's not enough to kill Tony.

If for no other reason than to keep this thread going, my thoughts on the latest episode:

1. Carlos Bernard got his name in the credits even though he only appeared for 5 seconds while some guys put a sheet over his body. I don't know who is agent is, but they are good.

2. The Homeland Security broad said that there would be consequences for Jack handing over the "Wet List". Please, bitch. You couldn't hold a candle to George Mason, and the most he was ever able to do was force Jack out of CTU. You know how many people have told Jack that there would be consequences? Tons. And you know what keeps happening to them? George Mason? Dead. Nina Meyers, who spent half the first season telling Jack that he was in a ton of trouble and should turn himself in? Dead. I think Michelle Dessler may have said something to that effect during season four and she's gone. Erin Drischoll is theoretically still breathing, but her daughter died. Bill Buchanon has said so you know his days are numbered. About the only head of CTU that didn't get all pissy with Jack would be Tony. One more reason he didn't deserve to go. Poor Tony. He was probably second only to Jack in terms of coming through in the clutch.

3. Is Audrey really a traitor? I kinda hope so. After they killed off Nina and Sherry Palmer there really haven't been any really good female villains on there. There's the previously mentioned hot skanky terrorist who showed up for an episode or two in all the previous seasons (Mia Kirshner is the actress' name, BTW), but she lacks the evil charm of Nina and Sherry.

I was disapointed that Audrey turned out to be innocent. I figured that she'd turned traitor out of anger at the government, esp. President Logan, for turning its back on Jack to hand him over to the Chinese even after all he did for his country, and blames them for Jack's death. So she goes along with Cummings' plot, figuring that a terrorist attack on US soil the day of signing Logan's anti-terrorist pact would be fittingly embarrassing for the President. But Cummings didn't tell her about the nerve gas, so she didn't realize how many people could get hurt in all of this, and now that she knows Jack is alive she wants to help. So she gives them the info and the episode plays out like it did. Anything would have been better than the sexual harrassment chick. Oh, and I called the gas company plot last week. My wife can verify that.

With the nerve gas out of play I'm eager to see what threat will be the problem for the next eight hours. The VP is looking shadier by the second.

What struck me as odd is that the terrorists needed some kind of high tech intel broker to get their hands on a schematic of the gas company. I kind of figured that that would be part of public record somewhere, since it's a public utility. I wouldn't think that it would be easy to access, but I can't think you'd need to call in an international hot terrorist bitch to get it either.

The insider is the VP. I called it last night. He was the one who knew Wayne Palmer was on his way and let him in. He was the one who set up the curfew against the law. He's in league with Henderson, and the First Lady's assistant has some knowledge of it. Think of the previews - it's not her, because they showed her. But she'll know something and will spill it.

Also, seriously, they get away with a shit ton of torture on this show. I don't care how much time they do or do not have, there is no way in HELL that they TORTURE the Sec of Defense's daughter and top aide without KNOWING THAT SHE'S GOT INFO.


I must say though, that Audrey looked pretty good at the end of the episode for someone who had recently survived a Centox nerve gas attack followed by torture. I wonder who styled her hair before she made her reappearance in CTU work area. And she took the whole torture thing pretty well, all things considered.

It would have been much more believable to skip the torture and give her truth serum. I'm just sayin' . . . not that I'm bothered by it at all as it goes on. I still love this show.

Well, my call is that the Homeland Security chick that took over CTU is also working with the president (as is that clown of a homeland security assistant that made Audrey sign the statement on Buchanan).

I also think that in the grander scheme of things the president is working with the Chinese, and will let them know Jack is alive, so he'll have Chinese intelligence chasing after him as well.

If I'm right on the Homeland Security witch then that also means that Audrey and Chloe are in danger as well, and I predict that after Jack makes it out of the bank next week (or the week after) he will have to rescue the two of them (and of course it will be set up as a trap for him).

We don't know that.. we just know he slid him a recorder.

Jack could of duped it or called some voice mail and played it to retrieve later.

HAHA. What if Jack made a copy in like 2 seconds, and gave him the copy along with the following message..."Hello Christopher. As you can probably assume by hearing my voice, there are multiple copies of this message being sent to numerous sources within the government. Have a nice day. Oh, and this recording will explode in 3, 2, 1."

This show gets dumber by the episode. I've been on board since season 1, episode 1 but this is just getting too silly. I'm cashing out after this season.so dumb you'll cash out after it ends lol. I on the other hand have no idea what's going on except that the president is a bad guy and Jack is out to get him. Though I have no idea how the show has gotten to that point, it's still fun to watch.


btw, actor playing the president was on cold pizza this morning. Dude wears 3 earrings in his left ear. Que Lindo!

That's what is really funny about people giving up on the show. The show itself is farfetched, couldn't really happen, unrealistic, so on & so on, but yet, you've watched it from the begining knowing probably all along that these things couldn't happen. It'a just a TV show! These events are suppose to be happening while the rest of the world continues their everyday life. There condensing everything into 1 hour just for us. That's probably why sometimes things look rushed, dumb, unrealistic. Take a look at the other shows like the CSI's shows. The episodes are good and exciting, but how real are they? How easy is it to find evidence that fast? Sometime back in the Express News, there was an article on the crime lab, and it's not that easy to find clues or is it that glamorous. Keep watching 24, it's just going to get better!

I really hate the "it's just a TV show" argument... I mean, you could use it with any piece of crap on television.

I can see Scott's complaint. Some people may not care if a show is realistic/believeable, and more power to them. No one says it has to be. But part of the appeal to fans in the beginning was the believeability of the 24-hour timeline and relative believeability of the plot.

While I'm not saying Season 5 COULDN'T have happened in real life, I would say that all of the twists and the constant barrage of new characters and mounting body counts cheapen the suspense of the show. I like the suspense and story to build over several episodes.

For me, it's sort of like 90's Metallica vs. 80's Metallica... I liked 90's Metallica, but I knew they could do better based on what they did in the 80's. Later Metallica, like this season's 24, was more of a guilty pleasure.

I'm beginning to be of scott's view.

Yeah, just a show. But in the early seasons, while there were crazy twists and turns, and you were expected to believe that no one sleeps, eats, drinks, or has to pee in 24 hours. Also that traffic in LA is NEVER a problem.

But as my co-worker said about this season's level of believability - Dude, an ex-president DIED in the first five minutes. Not just an ex-president - a very popular guy, and the first black president. DIED. And not just died - was KILLED by a sniper. Uh, yeah. NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS TODAY. Remember Reagan? He was old, and with mixed popularity. Everything shut down for a week. Trust me, no treaties get signed, no one flies back to Russia after two hours in the states. Potentially hostages get taken at an airport, but no one is flying BACK to Russia from that airport two hours later. People aren't being shot on national TV. The martial law doesn't go into effect without Congressional approval.


Also, a colleague and the daughter of the Sec of Defense is not tortured by government officials on flimsy evidence, and her father doesn't hog tie her to a pipe while he leaves the evidence backing his extoration with some guy without making copies. At least hide it somewhere, dude.


That doesn't even touch on the body count, or the twists that are clearly solely for the effect of jaw-dropping.

Now I fondly remember the cougar and the trap in season 2, ok? But yeah, that was more believable than this crap.

Okay, how many other shows on TV show the characters eating, sleeping, drinking, or peeing, and span multiple days? Talk about a week argument.

And it's hard to have bad traffic in LA when there's martial law on the streets :lol

Well then, what storylines do you suggest the show should have? What believable plots that haven't been on 24 would you go with? UFO lands in front of the White House? Oh, how about Jack Baur takes the place of Tom Cruise's character in 24's version of "War of the Worlds"! This might be a winner! Jack battles a terrorist only to find out in the last episode that the terrorist reveals to Jack, "I am your father!". Or we might have Jack going on a much needed vacation to Hawaii only for the 737 he's in crashes on an unchartered island. There he has a new mystery to solve, like a hatch he needs to open, strange voices on the island, a possible monster, and of course, the "others". Come to think of it, these storylines sound familiar!! :rolleyes

He didn't steal the tape, he was holding up something next to the recorder that wiped the tape.

This is the first time I'm disappointed in 24, you can't tell me that they couldn't have copied the tape over to the hard drive and then cleaned it up.

That, or that with evidence like that that Buchanan and Karen wouldn't have been right there with her.

And why transport Bierko? :wtf Made no sense...

For the first time I've got to agree. If you're implicating the president in a conspiracy there's no way you let anyone know unless you absolutely have to. Miles didn't need to know a freakin thing.

No, but even Surnow (on the michael medved show) suggest part of the allure is that the show allows you to believe the stuff in 24 could really happen.

Up until now I was enjoying the show even though some of the plot was far fetched, but silly stuff like telling Miles about the president and then the recording goes missing has crossed the line into being ridiculous.

Nevertheless, I'll still watch hoping the show doesn't totally fall apart. I've had a lot of fun until the end of last nights show. The president should have offed himself.

Henderson was not ratting him out, but trying to get the guy to download his harddrive onto a thumb drive, jack busted in and messed up the plan. Turns out the Russian was going after a sub and he kills the American luet and gasses the sub, because he plans to use the missiles on said sub.
