Official 24 Discussion (Greatest Show Ever)

[cavecricket34]

So season 3 is over?

[dm40band]

see.. if it was me, i would keep it stickied just to see all the non-24 fans get all worked up.

:lol


yea i agree :lol

[bdfresh62]

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....I hate searching. Keep it stickied.....please *flashes puppy dog eyes* :(

[The Sean]

will this thread be re-stickied or will a new one be made next year?

[The Sean]

:lol heh heh - I was winging it!
wasnt Kyle the son of Palmer?

[Mark]

no.. kyle was Kyle Singer.. the kid who they thought had the virus

[bdfresh62]

Keith was Palmers son

[The Sean]

ohhhhh, right.

i'd have to say we have the best 24 knowledge base around right here :)

[nabennet]

ok, so i've never watched a whole season of the show, but i know the premise. 24 hrs and each show is what happens in one of those hours.

does anyone ever sleep during that time?

[The Sean]

main characters dont sleep. and if they go to the bathroom or eat its during commercials

[Rob D]

i just don't feel right having this at the bottom of the page...

You have to be kidding

[The Sean]

*puts thread back where it belongs*

[Crumbo]

it's strange not having this thread stickied :confused: :(

[Proof2k3]

did we ever find out why saunders wanted chappelle dead? was it just because ryan was good at his job and he might catch saunders?
Ok I'm pretty sure i know why. Remember how Jack asked Chapelle if he wanted to say bye to anyone and Chapelle said he didn't really have anyone close to him? Ok, so Saunders knowing this, and knowing that Tony was second in command, wanted to get Chapelle out of the way (because he had no means of getting to him through loved ones) to get Tony in charge, because he knew he could get at Tony through his wife. If I'm right, the subtelty and depth of this show is amazing.

[Rub-A-Dub BUB]

saunders wanted chapelle dead because he was following the money trail to closely and catching up to saunders.

sheesh.

[Proof2k3]

saunders wanted chapelle dead because he was following the money trail to closely and catching up to saunders.

sheesh.
Um, i doubt it's that simple. Becuase alot of people working at CTU were getting close... why pick out Chapelle? I dunno I like my theory more.

[Pipsqueak]

Chapelle (at first) was specifically working on the money trail on his own. Only later did he bring others in to help him out. So, I think the answer is the money trail. Remember, Saunders even discussed it with his "evil cohort computer guy." The computer guy told Saunders they were getting close via the money trail.

However.....I do like your theory. That would have made an interesting "Insider" question.

my $.02

[bdb23]

*puts thread back where it belongs*
:thumbsup

[Rub-A-Dub BUB]

he was definitely not thinking about getting chapelle out of the way to get to tony.

saunders wanted to show the president that he had to do what he asked. since chapelles name came up following the money trail really tight, saunders told palmer to have him killed.

go watch it again. you'll see.

[ziggyosk]

Um, i doubt it's that simple. Becuase alot of people working at CTU were getting close... why pick out Chapelle? I dunno I like my theory more.
I think you are right. If the whole reason for getting Chapelle outta the way is for the money trail, that is a stupid reason, because the rest of CTU could just pick up where Chapelle left off. I think Saunders had another motive for getting him out, and to get to tony's wife fits. Think about how well Saunders had it planned out to capture Michelle. He had been planning that for a few hours at least, so it makes sense. No one should just believe its that simple.

[cbsauder]

i was about to comment- the top of this forum looks kinda naked

:thumbsup yea, its so wierd

[jmay87]

its not even the next tuesdayu but i already miss it, its gonna be a long time until january, at least i have the whole 3rd season downloaded

[Dancing Ants]

I am eagerly awaiting the DVD release. I would like to watch S3 in continuity. All the breaks really disjointed it to me. It seems like I watched three different seasons, all with the same cast, but different storylines.

I watched S1 and S2 from DVDs.....that is DEFINITELY the way to do it. If I could keep my eyes away from the TV for a season, I would skip it and just buy the DVDs......but that ain't gonna happen! :lol

I'm dying for S3 to come out. :multi

[schmenencke]

Gotta get this topped, but with good cause.

I was watching Seinfeld today (shrinkage), and the doctor that tells Elaine she's breathtaking looked familiar, so I looked him up.

Sure enough, it's Richard Burgi, the same guy that played Kevin Carroll (the fake Alan York) in season one.

[Mark]

god damn. good eyes!

[Ben F.]

finally got around to watching season 1 [gary's copy]. i've watched the first 3 episodes.

obviously i'm a little behind, but let's see:

curious to see why the punk who broke her friend's arm was told to get the baur daughter- but that will make for some amazing drama no doubt.

quite the way to get a fingerprint

he had no choice but to suspect nina. maybe should have gotten the information before he slammed her around and got in her face [and learned that her computer was accessed while they were gone]- can't say as i would have done any different.

oh and, the girl who had the motorbike and asked for an extra mil- she deserved to die. tragic.

so far: :thumbsup :thumbsup I can't imagine watching this week by week and having to wait. very high anticipation level. very cool that it is in real time.

Ben -

You'll be at a loss for words. :)

[smallwaise]

im a big fan and was actually disappointed in the finale. no twist; no "this finale delivers" like the commercials had been saying. there was not one hint of suspense or surprise in the whole episode in my opinion. and no, palmer resigning doesn't count as a big twist.

good season, mediocre finale, season 1 is still by far the best.

[Pipsqueak]

Ben -

You'll be at a loss for words. :)


yep, Ben.....you just wait, buddy.......


juuuuuuust you wait. :lol



:eek: <----- Ben's reaction in a few more episodes....

The shame.

Still got those DVDs? :)

[Gary]

I'm rewatching S1 (and maybe S2) with Ben. Watching them continuously is definately a LOT better than waiting a week for each one. I watched the first two seasons this way, then watched S3 on tv and it wasn't as entertaining. I'm seriously considering waiting until S4 is complete to watch it all at once.:D

[Mark]

Still got those DVDs? :)
hell yeah. :D

i am going to loan season 1 to a friend of mine.

[The Sean]

we should have trivia from now till january

[Dancing Ants]

Trivia
1) what's michelle's bust size?
2) what color are michelle's eyes?
3) michelle's ass is nice. yes or no?
4) Tony should go to prison so I could become her lover. yes or no?

[The Sean]

1) just big enough for me
2) brown
3) yes
4) yes, and replace you with me

[Dancing Ants]

4) yes, and replace you with me

whom i'll replace with Kim. Then I can watch. :multi

[The Sean]

so how high do you think the body count was this season?

[bdb23]

Anybody mention that Leslie Hope (Terri Bauer) is going to be in Meltdown (http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/meltdown/) on FX tonight at 8pm ET???

From the FX/Meltdown bio for her...

Hope won acclaim for her role on the first season of FOX's groundbreaking drama 24. Each episode told a story that took place in a single day, each of the 24 episodes covering one hour and playing out in real time. Her death in the final episode prompted a fan outcry and media debate on her character's fate.

[bdb23]

I hate seeing this on page 3.

[FPrefect61]

There was a media debate about Terri dying?

[bdb23]

There was a media debate about Terri dying?
Yeah. Pretty daring way to close the first season of a new series.

[bdb23]

Had to steal this from ami. Tons of Elisha pics.

[FPrefect61]

Yeah. Pretty daring way to close the first season of a new series.
Absolutely, but what is there to debate, is she dead or not dead? :lol

I'm a little loopy tonight, forgive me. :D

[bdb23]

Absolutely, but what is there to debate, is she dead or not dead? :lol

I'm a little loopy tonight, forgive me. :D
I think the debate was all about whether or not they should have ended the season in such a manner.

[Matt]

Yeah. Pretty daring way to close the first season of a new series.
In my opinion, an untouched and unprecedented way to end a season. They filmed three endings for the finale, and didn't choose to air that one until the last possible moment, I believe.

[FPrefect61]

There really wasn't any way they could have ended the first season with a mega-happy ending. It seemed to go against the grain of the entire season.

Matt, we know two of the endings, the one they used, the one on the DVD, what was the other one (if you know, of course...)

[The Sean]

i got the CTU ringtone for my phone :D!

[FPrefect61]

Wasn't there a rumor that the DVDs for season 3 were going to be released early this year? I can't remember where I heard that from. I know the last two seasons came out in previous Septembers.

[bdb23]

Page 6??????

24 marathon on FX right now. They're on the 4pm episode.

[schmenencke]

I was just flipping through and turned it on.

I love this show.

It's the way it was meant to be.

[bdb23]

It's actually the "a.m." episodes. I was wrong earlier.

[schmenencke]

You're not under arrest. I'm taking you into MI-6 where you will be interrogated by an agent of a foreign government. Your consitutional rights don't apply.

Bauer is the man.

[bdb23]

Yeah. Did they ever reveal why Saunders wanted Palmer to say "the sky is falling"?

[schmenencke]

Yeah. Did they ever reveal why Saunders wanted Palmer to say "the sky is falling"?
Not that I remember. I think it was just a test to make sure he was going to cooperate.

[bdb23]

Not that I remember. I think it was just a test to make sure he was going to cooperate.
That's what I thought. Kind of an ego-stroke from Saunders.

[schmenencke]

This is going to end the episode before Chapelle gets killed (Probably the best episode of the season in my opinion) and I can't find out when they're going to show the rest of the season. It doesn't look like anytime soon.

[DMBfan41]

I can't believe 24 won't start until January!!

[The Sean]

That's what I thought. Kind of an ego-stroke from Saunders.
it also signaled the MI6 agency to be attacked

[schmenencke]

it also signaled the MI6 agency to be attacked
That's what Palmer feared, but I don't think we ever actually get any real confirmation that it's the case. I think the two were unconnected.

[Mark]

page 12? :(

[The Sean]

too far back

[draven33]

I just got into this show half way through this past season (3). I just rented season 1 through Netflix and got to the episode that Jack was waiting for the dude in the parking garage in the limo and when he realized it was Jack in the front seat....unloaded the hand gun while Jack just stared at him.

This show is badass. I had to post that.

[FPrefect61]

Any word on the season 3 DVDs?

[bdb23]

Wonderful top. Nothing on the fox site about the DVDs.

As for the Season 3 DVD's it would seem that the NTSC release has now been pushed back to December 14th, 2004 despite having an August 9th PAL release slated for the UK.
Hmmm! Who knows - I'll believe the date when
www.digitalbits.com or
www.fox.com/24 says what it is.
There is a lot of information concerning new cast members and plot rumours for season 4 available at this site with no spoilers there yet - and they normally warn on this site for spoilers so don't feel scared to visit and look around.

they're going to kill off jack and the show will end

[Ben F.]

I know i'm not supposed to be on ants for a while- but i wanted to notify the 24 fans that I bought season 1 on DVD yesterday, and just finished episode 8 [jack is at the breakfast, and has helped the assassin smuggle in a weapon]

i'll be brief and say that the flack jacket [s1e7]- fucking genius. Jack is a pro. End of story.

-hope you guys are having a good summer- :)

[The Sean]

ben, where ya been? i was just gonna add you to the Missing Ants thread

[dobyblue]

I have been watching Season 1 of Crime Scene Investigiation - I think it's fantastic.
many familiar faces though.
The Sherrif = Palmer's #1 bodyguard (all seasons)
Prison Warden = Julia Milligan (season 3)
LA Sherrif = George Mason (seasons 1 & 2)
there's one other I've forgotten

Whew sixth months is a long time!

[Ben F.]

just finished s1e18 [jack was meeting the guy to deliver the money, teri has her 'selective amnesia' and has just arrived at the bauer house w/ her doctor 'friend']- great stuff. a few things:

amnesia- well i gotta say whoever wrote the script lost a few points with me when teri awoke with her amnesia. i see that as a cop out to just create more story. blah blah blah, thanks for wasting my time.

kim- amazing that she goes to the guy's house. how pathetic. should have let tony help you when you had the chance.

palmer's wife- when she confessed to destroying the tape, i would have struck her, and i don't even condone hitting women. amazing.

the computer girl at ctu- the one that killed herself, that blew. what a cop out. suck it up- take responsibility for your actions.

that's enough for now- maybe i'll go back and read through the thread and check you guys' comments on these too.

oh yeah... my windows logon and logoff sound is now the 24 clock ticking [as it does at the very end and commercials]
i'm so addicted. i will own season 2 shortly.

[malonestar]

I just found this 24 shirt I got about 3 years ago. It's such a cool shirt, but I've never worn it. I basically forgot about it for 2 years. Maybe I'll post a picture sometime to make everyone jealous.

-hope you guys are having a good summer- :)
that string of episodes is my all time favorite. jack is under so much stress, and you can tell he just wants to kill gaines. my favorite 24 episode ever is when he breaks out of secret service custody.

"im sorry jack."

"you will be if palmer dies."

[Ben F.]

finished season 1 Saturday night. the computer girl at ctu- the one that killed herself, that blew. what a cop out. suck it up- take responsibility for your actions. i retract this statement.

never saw the nina thing coming-ever. that fucking bitch. if jack had known nina had just killed his wife, he would have shot her in the face when he had the chance.

by the way- for anyone who bought season 1 on dvd, they did film an alternate ending where teri lives [the version that aired was as originally planned] but i agree with the director commentary, having teri die just fits with the rest of jack's day.

oh yeah, thumbs up for palmer. shame it took him all day to realize what a bitch his wife is. getting paid friday- season 2 will be mine soon after :D

great show. shame it's taken me this long to give it a chance/take some time to check it out.

[bdb23]

great show. shame it's taken me this long to give it a chance/take some time to check it out.

Season 2 is my fave. i just think the whole thing was a step in the right dirction from Season 1. Even more stress, anxiety, goose chases, plot twists, stellar music score, and all in 5.1 no less!

I just watched the last two hours of Season 2 again on Saturday night.

Jon Cassar should be bronzed for the last two episodes of Season 2.

It's real hard too. Another friend of mine is about 5 or 6 episodes into the 3rd season now. She was reading TV Guide a few weeks ago and they had a little article about 24 in it, going over who died and how in the third season. She read it and was crushed. :(

New Faces for 24 Season Four
Source: Variety Monday, July 19, 2004

You'll be seeing lots of new faces on 24 next season, and a familiar face from 24 on CSI.

Reiko Aylesworth, who played Michelle on 24 for the past two seasons, is set to join the original CSI, as a lab-based detective, says Variety. Aylesworth's casting is unrelated to George Eads and Jorja Fox being let go from the show.

As for 24, virtually none of the cast, save Kiefer Sutherland, will return as regulars for season four, which is set to begin airing on Fox in January. That means Dennis Haysbert's David Palmer character will no longer be president of the United States. Instead, when the action resumes, Sen. John Keeler -- last seen trying to blackmail Palmer -- will be the new president.

Geoff Pierson, who played Keeler in multiple episodes last season, will reprise his role for season four. It'll be a recurring part, however. The trade also revealed that Sutherland's Jack Bauer will no longer work for CTU.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=5611

[Trippin4136]

Just finished up Season 1 with friends who had just seen season 3. Man, it gets my blood boiling all over again. Such amazing shit Season 1 was, remembering all those moments during its original airing when my friends and I would jump through the ceiling during some moments.

-one of my fave lines "DAMN YOU SHERRI IF THAT CHILD DIES!!" - The way Palmer blows up on Sherri the last 2 hours is phenomenal stuff.
-Oh and Jack's rampage in the final hour, classic stuff.
-And...well, just EVERYTHING. All 3 are terrific, but Season 1 IMO is still above the rest.


That's too bad about the season 4 cast. I can't believe there even will be a season 4. But that means no Tony? I've had enough of Kim (even though I could look at her all day). Chase was unnecessary. The cast from Season 2 to 3 was vastly different save Jack, Tony, Palmer,Sherri, Chappelle, some Nina. Losing Dennis Haysbert is big, I thought his character was great. The interaction between Jack and Palmer was always a critical thing about the show. But losing Tony too, although he comes across as a pain, would be a big loss to. Either way this season should be very interesting to say the least. The first 3 have all been spell-binding, hopefully they all can keep it together. I'd really hate to see 24 go out on a bad, bad note. But no matter what it is like, I will be there for all 24 episodes.

[minigunmorgan4]

season 4!! ya!!

John Keeler -- last seen trying to blackmail Palmer -- will be the new president.

Geoff Pierson, who played Keeler in multiple episodes last season, will reprise his role for season four. It'll be a recurring part, however. The trade also revealed that Sutherland's Jack Bauer will no longer work for CTU.

Not working for CTU? Oh my.

[Trippin4136]

Mercenary?

[airr233]

Executive producer Joel Surnow confirmed at FOX's session of the TCA's summer press tour that aside from Kiefer Sutherland, virtually the entire cast will not return for its fourth season in January 2005. The move means Dennis Haysbert, James Badge Dale, Elisha Cuthbert, Carlos Bernard and the rest of the cast won't likely make more than a few, if any, appearances as part of the new season. As for specifics (highlight to read), only Geoff Pierson, who played Palmer's Republican rival John Keeler, has been confirmed as returning. He'll take over as the President in the series' universe. In addition, Surnow also revealed Sutherland's Jack Bauer will no longer be working for CTU.


I know this has been said but just some more info as to who else will not return. This is from the futon critic.

Kiefer leaves hat on

By AP

KIEFER SUTHERLAND stunned a group of small-town New Zealand women by peeling off his socks and shirt during an impromptu strip routine at a club, local media reported. The Canadian actor slipped out of his socks and whipped off his shirt, waving it above his head to the Tom Jones hit You Can Leave Your Hat On, the New Zealand Herald newspaper said.

The stripping star was then ushered off the stage, it said. The incident occurred last week in the North Island community of Raetihi, 300 km north of the capital, Wellington, but was not reported until Wednesday.

Sutherland, star of the hit U.S. drama 24, is filming the movie River Queen nearby. The movie tells the story of an Irish immigrant in New Zealand during the 18th-century wars between indigenous Maori and colonial settlers.

[nabennet]

they're going to kill off jack this season

[dobyblue]

they're going to kill off jack this season
Oooohhh! I guess if you predict that before every season you might get it right at some point.
:twak That's for being wrong! :D

[Bartender84]

Well, they have already killed him once

[DMBandude88]

:**: 24 UPDATE :**:

just a couple tidbits-some good-some bad:

info on season 4:

Dennis Haysbert's David Palmer character will no longer be president of the United States. Instead, when the action resumes, Sen. John Keeler -- last seen trying to blackmail Palmer -- will be the new president. Geoff Pierson, who played Keeler in multiple episodes last season, will reprise his role for season four. It'll be a recurring part, however.

Sutherland's Jack Bauer will no longer work for CTU". Meanwhile 'Regiment' drops in a few more details about what some of the jettisoned members are getting up to otherwise:

"Everyone has been shown the door, aside from Kiefer. Elisha Cuthbert was asked to stay on, but she balked - having just signed a couple of lucrative movie deals. Elisha Cuthbert is in talks for a certain superhero film - sans the blonde - which just had a change of director. Reiko Aylesworth has joined the cast of "CSI in a recurring role next season. Carlos Bernhard (Tony) has also been keeping pretty busy and he himself has a couple of projects to go on with - including things he's developing, and Joel Surnow's doing a 24 feature DTV.

They're going to be adding some big name co-stars to the mix though I hear. This is pretty much considered to be the final season.

:( :(
read that last sentence again
:( :(

somewhat happier news...kinda:
the season 3 dvd will be released in the winter unlike past seasons when it was released in the fall to coincide with the next season premiere. here's the coverart:

http://twentyfouronline.com/imagearchive/albums/promotional/merch/24_S3.jpg
pretty much what I expected but still cool...dark and mysterious:drevil


that's it...only 5 months till january!!

[Bartender84]

As long as some of the old characters show up for a few episodes, I'm fine with it. And, if it is the last season, there's a good chance Jack will die

[Crumbo]

it doesn't make sense that this would be the last season.....it takes a show 5 years to get syndication (sp?)

*shrugs*

[Mark]

you need 70 episodes to syndicate it

[DMBandude88]

24 doesnt seem like a show that would work that well in syndication

[dobyblue]

I'm not sure how Season 3 being released 3 months later than normal is good news, especially since it's coming out in PAL in the UK this month - August 9th. Why we gotta wait? I'm sure the NTSC release will be better though? Ha ha - it's like another wipEout fusion. (incase you don't get that reference they almost didn't release wipEout fusion for the NTSC PlayStation2 which would have been criminal, it's the best racing game ever)

I am sure making money off syndication is a tempting idea but I would never watch it. The only reason I suffer watching it on TV is because I couldn't possibly wait for the DVD and miss all the excitement of having excellent people (that's the rest of you by the way) to discuss each episode with afterwards. Other than that being able to watch in Anamorphic Widescreen with Dolby Digital 5.1? Heaven!

Who can forget what we all had to say after Paul Schultze's incredible last episode.

Season 3 6am-7am will always be an episode that leaves me in tears.

Not as many as you would think

I'd guess somewhere around 35

[minigunmorgan4]

ive gone through this with a friend, and its not as many as i thought. i can seriously remember all he people he's killed.

You might be surprised. Sure, everyone can remember Jack killing Goran, or Gaines, or Drazen, but how many "extras" has he killed as well? Untold amounts. I actually think it might be closer to 50-60.

[FPrefect61]

I'm hearing early December. They should have it out sooner, so people like my brother (who missed alot of episodes) have plenty of time to catch up for next season.

Luckily I'll have Alias: Season 3 and Angel: Season 4 next week to tied me over.

You probably don't think that I can force this towel down your throat. But trust me, I can. All the way. Except I'd hold onto this one little bit at the end. When your stomach starts to digest it, I pull it out. Taking your stomach lining with it. For most people it would take about a week to die. It's very painful.

or...

I haven't slept in 24 hours, I've killed 2 people since midnight, so maybe you should be more afraid of me than you are now.

That's my favourite, but the towel line was sheer brilliance as well.
Jon Cassar should be bronzed.

Why should Jon Cassar be bronzed?

[malonestar]

Richard Walsh: How you doing?

Jack Bauer: Can't complain.

Richard Walsh: Can't or wont. Things better at home?

Jack Bauer: Yeah we're trying.

Richard Walsh: What I'm about to tell you doesn't leave this room.

Jack Bauer: Fine. {Sits down}

Richard Walsh: There may be an element inside the Agency involved with the hit on Palmer.

Jack Bauer: WHAT!!!

Richard Walsh: For the next twenty fours I want you all over this, you'll be interfacing with all agencies in the region.

Jack Bauer: I am the last guy you want to bring something like this too.

Richard Walsh: I don't agree.

Jack Bauer: Richard!!! I built a case against three of our own agents for taking bribes. If there’s a conspiracy inside the agency to kill David Palmer I'll never get anywhere near it.

Richard Walsh: Well your have to Jack. Because your the guy that I can trust.

[neumdogg]

What do you think is gonna happen this upcoming season?

[dobyblue]

Jon Cassar should be bronzed because he has directed 24 of the 72 episodes. That's essentially a whole season he has directed.
Watch the first season's episode compared to the second season's first episode. What a difference. Look at all your favourite episodes of 24 and I'll guarantee you Jon is more than likely the director. Last two hours of season 2? Awesome.
The man should be bronzed! ;)
So should Sean Callery for all the spectacular music he's done throughout the 3 seasons.

i'm on season 2, episode 6 i think. i haven't watched one since this summer- so i think i'm going to start s2 over again. i need to watch it, and get s3 from gary so i can be ready for s4 in jan.

and matt, January is 3 months away now :p
I cannot wait.

by the way- watching s1 again only makes me appreciate it that much more. i never even thought about the fact that on every intro, jack says 'and the people i'm working with may be involved in both' and it shows nina. i guess jack trusts nina, so the viewer does too.

[Ben F.]

s2e9 now. hatred for nina has escalated.

kim is such a stupid bitch, not to mention a magnet for trouble. glad i gave s2 a second chance- this is awesome.

By the way, season 2 is really freaking awesome. Id stay in bed all weekend and just finish it out.

I'm going to watch quite a bit of Season 2 tomorrow. I think I might start at ep9 to get a feel of where Ben is.

Have you ever heard about the Russian gulag? A string of prisons in Northern Siberia. The Russians didnt have a lot of high-tech equipment out there, so they kind of had to make do with what was around. Sort of like what Im doing right now. You probably dont think that I can force this towel down your throat. But trust me I can..alllll the way. Except I'd hold onto this one little bit at the end.

[PrettyPenelope]

Just thought I'd throw out a random 24 got fucked for me story...I was watching s1 on dvd when s2 was on tv and I was like 2 episodes away from the end and one day I'm driving in my car and a commercial comes on and before I can switch stations I hear Jack''s voice and he basically states the finale of season 1. I think I almost crashed my car...

So ya, be careful people who aren't caught up!

[Ben F.]

i have 16 jack bauer avatars to choose from. if you guys want to use them, i'd be happy to post them. let me know.

oh yeah- watched another episode [or two]- they just found the decoy bomb, and the guy has kim in his fallout shelter [can't say as i blame him] ;).

and the guy has kim in his fallout shelter
little Kevin Dillon, Matt's little brother.

[Ben F.]

finished s2e14 [found the bomb, kim is free, mrs. palmer has been dismissed]

kinda curious as to how they're going to stretch this for another 10 hours- we shall see.

by the way- anyone notice how jack doesn't miss a shot in s2:
-got both shots right next to nina's head during interogation
-shot the guy on the stairs at the little store where nina went in under cover
-shot the tire out on the plane when it was trying to fly away
-shot the pilot in the plane
-shot the arm of the terrorist sister

jack is a pro.

(the only time he needed more was to take down the special ops guys with an assault rifle after the plane crash, and he was shooting to kill and protect nina)

mike used to have my respect, but he threw it all away when he locked up the woman, and then closed her hand when she was trying to ID him. wow that made me mad.
