Official 24 Discussion (Greatest Show Ever)

Tony's done for. ESPECIALLY because it was Chase who was supposed to go and Fox needs to further that storyline.

No superficial neck wounds gush blood like that.

Tony's done. 24 shocks us again.

i was thinking the same thing.

[willnole]

Tony dying is what makes 24 good. You never know whats going to happen.

[malonestar]

I think Tony is probably dead. You have to figure the scenes between Jack & Chase arguing about being an agent and having relationships...how Jack said it was basically impossible. As a result of that, Jack took Chase out of the loop and "replaced" him with Tony who is married to Michelle. Tony dies - Michelle is screwed, right in step with what Jack said.

[willnole]

There were several allusions to Tony getting killed. When Kim spoke to Michelle about how hard a relationship with Tony (as a CTU agent) is. The "Chase was supposed to be there instead of Tony" theory.

I dunno. I really think he's a goner.

No one's talking about the fact that the lawyer got killed. How screwed up was that.

[Mark]

you mean the guy the guard killed? i didn't realize he was a lawyer.

[malonestar]

Minorly screwed up.

Not even close to the same "Screwed Up" scale as Jack killing Marshall Goran and then sawing off his head last season in episode 1 though.

It was probably along the same lines --- just for shock value to kick the season off in standard 24 style.

[FPrefect61]

Who was the guy that the guard strangled, another CTU agent? I couldn't figure out his role in bringing Salazar down.

[DMBeener]

He was another guy who worked along with Jack on the Salazar case during the past few years (the time that elapsed between seasons).

[seantrantham]

The guy that the gaurd strangled was the DA that was going to procecute Salazar

[FPrefect61]

The DA, right. Thanks. :)

[DMBeener]

All right, a hypothetical situation here...

Say Tony is dead (I don't think he is, but for the sake of this situation he is). It seems to me that Michelle, his wife, is next in line there at CTU. But since her husband is now dead (for the sake of this argument) do you think she'd be of sound mind (obviously she's going to grieve) to take his place and run things in CTU? If she's not, who would be in line to take charge? Gael (the bad guy) seems like he's kinda high up in the ranks, and that could cause all kinds of trouble. Who else? Kim, Chase, Chloe, that guy that sits across from Kim (his name escapes me right now)...what do y'all think? Discuss.

(I'm sorry, I'm INSANELY bored here at the office and reading everyone's thoughts of how they think he's dead prompted this thought.)

[FPrefect61]

If Michelle is next in line, it doesn't look good for Jack, because she might blame him for Tony's death.

[DMBeener]

Oooh, a good point. I didn't think of that. Then Chase will become all honkey dorey with Jack because Jack "saved his life."

Who do you think will be in charge then Tom?

Hmm, I don't really know. It depends on how high up Gael is in the command chain. If he does take over, all hell could break loose. I still think if Tony dies, Michelle will take over.

It's too bad George Mason's dead, coulda used him now, huh?

[bdfresh62]

If Tony dies they might bring back Chapelle. I was thinking about this though, I really don't think he's dead. In the previews for the next episode Michelle is talking and she is not upset at all. If her husband died I think she would be way to emotional. Also I really don't think the President's brother is doing anything wrong. I don't trust that Anne lady. Something about her...

[Matt]

I bet that CTU hasn't told Michelle yet (in the previews for next episode). I literally yelled "No!" when they shot Tony. As much as I HATE to say this - I think he's gone. It's perfect 24 fashion to knock off a huge character. I think they really bucked the trend that they set for themselves by making Palmer survive last season's attack.

Tony's done. :( I just hope I'm wrong.

[Mark]

i didn't yell anything, but i let out a huge gasp when he got shot.

Chappelle, I didn't think of him...what's he up to?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I hate the President's brother. I really don't like Anne either. We'll see what's up with them...

We all yelled too last night when we saw it. I hope he's not gone, but as you say, it *is* like them to kick off someone huge like him. The thing is, word spreads around that building very quickly, so *if* he's 'dead, I can't imagine Michelle wouldn't know...

and she posed for playboy? damn. i gotta find those pics.

There you go, Mark.

I didn't think she was very attractive at all...

[Mark]

yeah. those pics of her look terrible.

i thought she looked half decent last night, tho.

[FPrefect61]

I kept saying to my friend, "Damn, Kate Warner was much better looking than her."

[FPrefect61]

Hey Mark, have you seen the first 2 seasons yet?

[Bartender84]

Tony isn't dead. He can't be. No way.

I hope...

If he does die, it would be a stroke of genius for the writers to put Gael in charge of CTU.

HOWEVER... even if Tony doesn't die, he may be out of commision for the rest of the day. They'll probably have to take him to the hospital and maybe do surgery, so he would need a temporary replacement.

I had pretty much guessed that the virus was not in the bag, but I had no idea that Kyle was infected. Great twist.

[Mark]

but how will kyle spread it?

[FPrefect61]

The incubation period for the virus is 14 hours. After which he becomes contagious. From what I remember from the show, he only has 2 or 3 hours left until he becomes contagious.

[Mark]

yeah, i know that. but does it just spread like any other virus? is that was we are supposed to assume?

[FPrefect61]

I would imagine, yeah.

[DMBeener]

Dennis Haysbert (the prez) is in Allstate commercials...I saw it twice tonight.

thoughts on last night:

Jack: dude...get off the stuff. It's messing you up.

WHy did Jack throw up, anyway?

Anyone else think it was stupid to attempt a shoot up when you know they'll be there in about a minute?

I might have a big 24 announcement by the end of the month:D

I've got a good feeling about this, however I'm definitely anticipating way too much and in the end nothing is probably going to happen, but here goes:

The Official 24 Sweepstakes just ended.

About 2-3 years ago I saw some bit on 60 Minutes, or 20/20 or something. It was about a woman who had won an inordinate amount of sweepstakes and contests. Long story short, they asked how she did it, and all she said was that in all honestly, she just made sure to read all the rules and follow them, because generally there are tiny little clauses in them that disquality 99.9% of the people that usually enter.

That whole thing came back to me as I was casually finding out about the 24 sweepstakes, so I made sure to read all the rules very closely. Here's what I came up with:

"The Next Ford F-150's "24" Internet Sweepstakes ("Sweepstakes") begins at 12:00 am PT on September 7, 2003 and ends 11:59 pm PT on November 14, 2003. Sweepstakes is sponsored by Fox Broadcasting Company, 10201 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90035 ("Sponsor") and is hosted by FOX.com."

[.....]

"Each entrant must be the rightful owner (or have authorized use) of the e mail address identified in the entrant’s entry as of September 6, 2003. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a winner, the winner will be deemed to be the person in whose name the e mail account governing the e mail address was opened. Entrants must provide all information requested to be eligible to win. Incomplete, unreadable, or unintelligible entries will be disqualified. All entries must be received 11:59 pm PT on November 14, 2003. All information provided by entrants becomes the property of Sponsor, and will be used solely in connection with the Sweepstakes, in accordance with applicable law."

Read that part again - All entries must be received 11:59 pm PT on November 14, 2003.

If anyone actually read the rules, they'd just breeze over that thinking "Ok, all entries have to be in by 11:59 on Nov 14th."

Except it doesnt technically say that. The way I read it is that all entries must be recieved exactly at 11:59pm PT on Nov 14th or else they'll be considered inelligible.

So yea, I woke up at 2:59am eastern time last friday and submitted my entry.

I could probably be grossly wrong, but then again I think I'm probably extremely correct, and you might all see me win that walk-on, non-speaking role in this season of 24 (which is the grand prize.) :D

[Mark]

that's is great, but what clock are they going by? who is to say that 2:59am in your house , isn't 3:01am at my house. if you submitted your entry at 2:59am, the "official" clock at the FOX headquarters may have read 2:57am or even 3:00am.

i have 5 or 6 clocks in my house that are never the exact same time.

know what i mean?

either way, good luck. :)

[malonestar]

Great point, and luckily I thought of that before I entered. These days, any "system" and all of its constituent parts are in dead-on time synchronization. For instance, cell phones. Ever notice that? The time on your cable box. Your computer clock.

All things of that nature are pretty much in perfect synchronization with the national bureau of standards clocks. Windows even has a function built into it where you can log into any different servers and re-synchronize your computer clock settings to match the clock at NBS. There are also plenty of websites out there that enable this function as well.

I'm sure you see where I'm going with this.

So yeah, I refreshed my clock settings about 50 times before I actually entered. I'm pretty sure I got the entry in at the perfect time.

I sent it right around 2:59:30, just to make sure I had enough buffer in either direction too:)

[Mark]

i see your point.

also, did it say All entries must be received 11:59 pm PT on November 14, 2003.

exactly like that? it didn't say "... at 11:59" ?

it seems weird to me because the sentence doesn't sound right.

[malonestar]

Yep. That's exactly what it said. That's how I even caught onto it in the first place, because I was reading it and stumbled over that part thinking, "That sentence isnt grammatically correct." From there, the whole thing about that lady on 20/20 sparked back into my memory and it was all downhill from there:D

Check it out and see what you think:

(Of course I could not share this while the sweepstakes was still active...I couldn't risk letting such great information out and decreasing my chances to win) :lol

Like a jackass I was hacking my homemade TiVO last night and I downloaded the channel guides for the next 7 days or so. The short episode descriptions for tonight's episode and next week's as well were in there and I accidentally read them. Dammit.

[Mark]

homemade TiVO?

[The Sean]

ive got a Time Warner Digital Video Recorder. is there any way you know how to save those files onto my computer? its got a USB port in the front, and another port that looks like smart media maybe

[Mark]

holy fuck. all i could say for a hour is "oh my god. oh my god"

wow.

i can NOT get enough of this show.

[Matt]

Exactly. I am beside myself. I've gotta let that soak in for a sec. It is so far ahead in leaps and bounds of anything that's ever been done in entertainment. I don't even know what to say.

[FPrefect61]

I'd like to see some kind of fistfight break out between Chase and Jack sometime soon.

I'm really hoping Tony pulls through, but it looks like even if he does, we won't see much of him this season. :(

Next week looks sick too. How many days until next Tuesday?

[willnole]

One of the weaker episodes imho. For the first time ever I watched and episode and thought "Is that it?".

Normally it's HOLY SHIT!

[FPrefect61]

There wasn't really a big, "What the fuck?" moment at the end of this episode.

Even still, that hour flew by.

[willnole]

I thought they would go into more of the kid and his girlfriend, cause something fucked up is about to happen to them, and them not killing off Tony after he gets shot in the neck is a major copout.

[FPrefect61]

I think we'll see something more with Kyle and his girlfriend soon. I think she'll get infected. It's only another hour until he's contagious, right?

[DMBeener]

Originally posted by willnole

I agree...but on a much larger scale. To be completely honest, I'm disappointed in this season. When I watched the first two, I was so completely captivated I could block out the rest of the world. I literally sat on the edge of my seat totally engulfed in the show. I would scream when the clock would start to tick for the commercials or when something big would happen. This season, I just don't get any of those feelings. It's good enough for me to watch each week, but I'm not so enthralled like I have been in previous seasons. Hopefully things will change.

It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the next few episodes...

[The Sean]

too many relationships screwing with everything. jack and chase, jack and kim, chase and kim, tony and michelle...:violent

and then theres chloe, who i just wanna kill. she reminds me of the chief of staff sectretary from The West Wing. grrrrr

[willnole]

5 minutes!

[willnole]

Holy Fuck!

Well this is the 24 I've grown to love.

[Mark]

as jack was pulling away when chase got the call, i kept saying "shoot the fucking thing down!! shoot it down!"

great show :D

[FPrefect61]

Is it just me, or do the CTU people all seem like a bunch of drama queens this season?

[Mark]

that chloe chick really bugs me

Yeah, for the first time all season, I was *really* captivated the way I was for the past 2 seasons...so intense!

Chloe needs that pole that's been rammed up her ass to be removed.

[JonTheRvelator]

I don't want Jack to get shot down!

[Matt]

oh man you missed an intense episode tonight... my question is will Keifer be back next season or is this his last season?

[bdfresh62]

Wow...that was probably the best written episode in my opinion out of all 3 seasons. The Russian Roulette scene was intense. I believe this can be the best season yet.

[willnole]

This prison break was Jack's worst idea in the entire series.

Personally if they killed Jack they'd kill the show. It won't happen.

[Mark]

i agree. the show really couldn't go on with jack.

[bdfresh62]

If they do kill Jack it won't be until the final episode.

[DMBeener]

I won't watch the show if Jack isn't there.

[willnole]

This is Kieffer's last season. That's why there was talk about this being his "last mission" when he spoke to the president.

I'm sure next year will be following Chase.

[malonestar]

I think Janet York is behind this whole thing.

[Mark]

who is she?

[malonestar]

Season 1's punching bag

[bdfresh62]

I do not remember her

Wrong, that'd be too predictable. If they're going to kill him off it'd be completly unexpected. (something like the Russian Roulete scene) The won't do the typical "kill of off a character at the end of the season his contract runs out" thing.

[Dancing Ants]

does it re-air on FX or anything?

you could go to fox.com and read the episode guide.

Last year they ran the previous weeks episode the next monday on FX. I don't know if they're still doing that.

Speaking of FX when the hell does the Shield start back up.

The best 2 hours of TV last year was 24 on Fox then switch to FX for The Shield

[Matt]

Once again 24 reaffirms itself as the greatest entertainment spectacle of all time.

What a wide ranging episode. You have Tony surviving, Kim catching Gael (and getting into shit herself), Kyle surviving, and the virus as an apparent bluff. (Or is it?).

Oh yeah, and Jack heading back to Mexico.

Wow.

The Shield starts in January.

Tonights episode ended a bunch of chapters and now a bunch of new chapters start.....very cool.

[FPrefect61]

Man oh man, it gets better each week!

Tonight would have been an even better ending if we saw Gael fire a shot, then cut to the end.

My predictions:
This virus threat was a hoax, but we'll see another threat come in (they obviously have the virus)
Salazar will inject Jack with heroin sometime soon.
Kim'll get in trouble somehow (wait, that already happened... A new record too, it took 6 whole episodes this time.)

Kim getting herself into shit i never thought i'd see the day. :D

[malonestar]

What was that hug between Michelle and Ryan all about? Seems like they went out of their way to make it seem extra awkward.

And was there a little foreshadowing when Palmer's brother said to him "We can't let anyone know what Jack did. That would do extensive damage to you and the office. Now you know what I'm saying is true. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to let him go."

As soon as he said that I thought, "Jack is a dead man."

I think if we go back to last season when Tony and Michelle worked together to knock Ryan out, it made Ryan's relationship with them awkward. I just think Ryan really doesn't like those two or he has a crush on Michelle and is mad she is married to Tony. Wow that seems like a soap opera plot.

[Mark]

i think this thread needs a sticky. ;)

it was damn hard to find

I wish that I didn't have to work every Tuesday so that I could watch it again... I love this show

[DMBeener]

Mark, Nina worked in CTU in a previous season. It turned out she was a mole and helping to plot against CTU, similar to what Gael's doing now. Nina's got all kinds of crazy info...she pops back into the scene from time to time...I'm surprised she hasn't shown up yet.

For a visual, if you've ever seen the commercials for the season 2 DVDs, she's the girl with the short brown hair that Jack flips out at after he flips over the table in the questioning room.

[bdfresh62]

Phew....what an episode. I think the creative genius' behind this show just pulled one on us all.

[Mark]

what the fuck!? tony and gael were in on the whole thing?

un-fucking-believable

[scoot_14]

Phew....what an episode. I think the creative genius' behind this show just pulled one on us all.

Yes indeed, excellent twist. I actually didn't see that coming. Very cool. :)

[Proof2k3]

Can we just all declare that the the last 5 minutes of that episode were the greatest 5 minutes in tv history?

[Mark]

yes. i will agree with that

[bdfresh62]

Can we just all declare that the the last 5 minutes of that episode were the greatest 5 minutes in tv history?
I will concur with that.

[DMBeener]

I concur as well...what an unreal episode!

"Chloe is a pain in the ass" <--that's the best thing I've ever heard Chappelle say :lol

[bdfresh62]

Yeah that was pretty funny. Chapelle can be a jerk. I think it's funny though how Tony and Gael had this plot and didn't tell any of the hire ups.

[dm40band]

damn i love this show, just finished over here on the west coast... i have to learn not to go in here during commercials... also someone should rename this thread and take off the S1 and S2 Spoilers since this S3 talk

[JonTheRvelator]

sorry it took me so long to post.

I was busy cleaning the brown off my shorts.

:D

Amazing Episode.

[FPrefect61]

To quote a post from the Bridge...

Holy mindfuck!!!

And I found out I'm getting the first two seasons on DVD for Christmas. :D

[bdfresh62]

Yeah I believe I'm also getting them for Christmas. I still haven't seen the first 8 episodes of Season 2.

[FPrefect61]

I missed the first two seasons, but saw them all on DVD before this season started. I want them for my own now, and to get other people hooked. :)

This was a good season before tonight, not as good as the first two. Tonight raised the value of S3 considerably...

EDIT: post # 15000 in the 24 thread!! :D

[JonTheRvelator]

that was just plain amazing.

yet another twist that I didn't see coming.

[Matt]

The last five minutes of that episode had me go from panicking because I couldn't believe that they would make Jack of all people a traitor, to being in absolute shock at the twist. I mean, at this point in time, you try and speculate as to where each episode could go, and after 54 episodes, there was still NO WAY I could have seen that coming.

I KNEW that Gael wasn't a "mole", so to speak. Been saying it since the first episode. "No way he's what we think he is. They had Nina in S1, and it would be lame if this guy just so happens to infiltrate CTU so easily. There's gotta be something that we don't know yet about him." BOOM.

It's simply the greatest entertainment spectacle ever. 24 will win the Emmy this year for Best Drama, hands down.

[The Sean]

I missed the first two seasons, but saw them all on DVD before this season started. I want them for my own now, and to get other people hooked. :)

This was a good season before tonight, not as good as the first two. Tonight raised the value of S3 considerably...

EDIT: post # 15000 in the 24 thread!! :Deeexcellent *taps fingers together*
what a perfect place to post such a milestone :)



hey guys, now that we can add polls post-thread creation, i wanna add one to this. what should the question be?

EDIT: oh, and nice rename job on the thread, matt :D

[DMBeener]

hahaha I just caught the title editing myself...very nice. :)

My mind is still going in circles from what I saw last night. My parents and I even talked about it at the breakfast table this morning! It will be interesting to see what happens with Chase next week.

As for a poll, maybe who will be killed next? (Kinda morbid, I know, but no one has died in a while.)

[Matt]

Is 24 the greatest entertainment spectacle of all time?

Yes.
Yes.

That should be the poll.

[Mark]

Is 24 the greatest entertainment spectacle of all time?

Yes.
Yes.

That should be the poll.
:lol

i have never been into a show like i am with 24. i am so focused on my TV for 48 minutes.

[Mark]

I concur as well...what an unreal episode!

"Chloe is a pain in the ass" <--that's the best thing I've ever heard Chappelle say :lol
that was a great line. Chloe seriously has some sort of rod up her ass.

i keep wondering what the hell is going to happen to chase. he is going to get himself killed if he isn't careful.

[Dancing Ants]

that was a damn good episode. I was a little shocked Gaeul(sp?) didn't blow his own brains out...not like the writers to let someone live, even if they are part of the plot..

[Mark]

do you think Palmers g/f will be the next to bite the bullet?

[The Sean]

back when the season started i had plans to keep a body count tally, but that kind of fell apart. i still have every episode this season on my DVR though :D

[The Sean]

poll made

[Mark]

[comic book guy] best poll ever[/comic book guy]

[Mark]

i was talking to a guy who's wife works in the entertainment industry here in Canada. she told him that this show is written on the fly and that the network (?) does massive amounts of research after each show. they try and find out what people like and don't like about the current direction.

ie: people didn't care too much about this whole powder/kyle singer thing, so they got rid of him.

is this common knowledge?

[Dancing Ants]

i figured they had a line that they followed, but could improvise when/if needed.

[Matt]

Mark - that's pretty much generally true. Episodes are "finalized" not long before they air on television so there's time to change things if the need arises. I remember one interview with one of the producers, and he was talking about Nina, and he said something along the lines of, "We're not sure if Nina will be coming back. She may, she may not. If we need her, I'm sure she'll come out"

"If we need her" - so you can tell they go on a one episode at a time basis.

[bdfresh62]

I'm predicting the Chase scenario right now. Chase wil get captured by Salazar's men. They will bring him in, and Ramon will question Jack's loyalty to the Salzar family. Ramon will then tell Jack that if he is indeed back with them, that he will have no problem blowing Chase's brains out. Then Jack will figure something hardcore out like usual.

[trippingoat]

Nasty

[willnole]

I finally saw last weeks episode. Holy shit, that was great. I can't wait for tonight.

[scoot_14]

I have got to remember to tape this before I leave for the fleetcenter tonight!

[The Sean]

i get off work at 9 tonight. if i get out of there a little bit earlier i should be able to make it here in time.

although i havent watched any of the others on time anyways. i always record them on the DVR and skip the commercials then :D and i have to remind myself not to look at this thread till after i watch it :p

[Mark]

8 minutes :D

[Haiku Jimi]

Nyet!

[Mark]

well, this weeks episode was for the last 10 minutes. the rest wasn't that exciting.

but man oh man, i thought chase was going down.

[Proof2k3]

Nina's Back!!!!!!!

[DMBeener]

After seeing tonight's episode, I can't wait 2 weeks for the next one! I want it NOW!

[FPrefect61]

Hmm, could it be Nina or maybe even Sherry? Guess we'll find out next year!

[bdfresh62]

I think it's Nina. Oh and did I call the Chase scenario or what, all except fo Jack actually figuring something out. He was gonna cap him. That would have been cool.

[Dancing Ants]

it's not sherry....it's either nina or the terrorist girl who almost whacked palmer. probably nina..someone shoot that bitch.

also...you think that the writers had originally planned for the virus to be the actual storyline and they just changed it?

[The Sean]

do you think chase can ever get over the fact that jack pulled the trigger on him?

[Crumbo]

do you think chase can ever get over the fact that jack pulled the trigger on him?

IMO, Jack could probably tell by the weight of the gun that it wasn't loaded....plus that dude pulled out a different gun than the one he was carrying all night long.

[Mark]

Hmm, could it be Nina or maybe even Sherry? Guess we'll find out next year!
did i miss something?

[FPrefect61]

did i miss something?
The sneak peak at the next episode has the Ukrainians auctioning the virus, not selling it straight to Jack and the Salazars. The camera cut to the back of a woman with long hair. It's most likely Nina, but who the hell knows with this show anymore?

[Mark]

oh. i didn't see the preview for next weeks episode.

[FPrefect61]

oh. i didn't see the preview for next weeks episode.
It's not next week, there won't be a new one until Jan. 6. :(

That should give you plenty of time to watch the first two seasons. ;)

[Mark]

hell yeah. i am so renting them over christmas :D :D

[Dancing Ants]

well, whoever it is has long(er) hair now...probably Nina.

[willnole]

Can anyone please tell me one good reason why the Russians are seilling the Virus for 100 million when they can get 1 billion by selling it to the same people that Jack would sell it to?

[Mark]

because they want to sell it to one person and leave. jack and company are going to sell it to a bunch of different people.

[willnole]

Jack said he could sell the virus to the Koreans for 10x what they paid for it. It didn't seem like they were going to be selling it to many people.

[Mark]

i thought he listed off a couple different people. ie: koreans, chinese, etc.

[willnole]

hmm. I hope that was it. I thought he said we could sell it to any of them and make 10x the money. If not it really doesn't make much sense.

[Matt]

What's interesting is the "Ukranian" that Jack talked to on the phone had a very English accent. Much like Max from the boat last year. So, the clan getting out of the truck in the previews consists of one, all three or any two combination of:

Nina
Max
Mandy

Fucking amazing. The previews beat this week's episode. I also don't know how I feel about Jack/Claudia.

[The Sean]

i know that i really dont like hector

[JonTheRvelator]

amazing.

I bet it will be the woman who attempted to kill the president in the first two seasons. (or nina)

[The Sean]

matt, you should rename nDMBc to something 24 related. like how they change the forum names at the bridge. lol, thatd be awesome

[bdfresh62]

My friends enlightened me last night that the actor who plays Ramon Salazar also played the bad guy in Desperado which I didn't know because I have never seen it.

[DMBeener]

I found it kinda weird that Anne decided that she wanted to end things with the president. I really didn't have an opinion about her, but I kinda feel better now that she's gone. I *still* don't like the president's brother.

I wanna know what's up with Jack and Claudia. The conversation (or her little speech to Jack) was interesting and confusing at the same time. I wonder if they had some kinda fling...

It will be interesting to see how Tony and Michelle interact for the rest of the season. Michelle seems pretty darn pissed that Tony kept the plot from her.

Chase just needs to die.

I'm not sure how I'm feeling about either Salazar. I'm finding it surprising that Ramon's been so trusting of both Hector and Jack. Hector just weirded me out this past episode, but I can't really put my finger down as to why, but I'm not liking him so much.

I can't wait until January for the next episode. I just can't! I WANT IT NOW!!

[Number27]

so, I saw this show and I found it to be a bore.

[The Sean]

:banned

[Number27]

so, I saw this show and I found it to be a bore.
much like Bob Dole

[Bartender84]

3 weeks is such a long wait, but it will definitely be worth it.

I definitely think that's Nina... it has to be. Or Mandy. One of those two.

Well get on it you dirty Canuck! ;)

[Mark]

i am going to try and watch them all in the next 3 weeks. christmas vacation is coming up :D

[Mark]

oh and today is Keifer's birthday. he is 37

[Matt]

matt, you should rename nDMBc to something 24 related. like how they change the forum names at the bridge. lol, thatd be awesome
I've considered it ;)

[The Sean]

oh and today is Keifer's birthday. he is 37feliz cumpleaños!!!!

[Dancing Ants]

Number 27...if you just started watching it, and you don't know what's going on, of course it's going to be a bore!

[Number27]

why would I continue to watch something that I consider boring?
No, one season is enough for me. No thanks, I'd rather watch Queer Eye than this.

[bdfresh62]

Oh yeah. I got Season 2 for Christmas. I watched the first DVD so far. I started watching season 2 about halfway through last year, so I'm eager to see what i missed.

[JonTheRvelator]

still waiting for 01.06.04...

:(

[Number27]

I bought my friend the second season since he is such a big fan.

[Matt]

American Idol licks. The only thing good that comes out of it is a boost in ratings for 24.

[The Sean]

quick q. i cant read the rest of the thread. was there a new 24 this week? i taped whatever was on, but was it new?

[Crumbo]

[Dancing Ants]

hey all.

i got 24S1 for Xmas...and, I think it's ep.2 or 3, when Ira Gaines is talking to Mandy (the lesbian terrorist who blew up the plane in season 1 and infected Palmer in season 2...didn't think i'd ever type the words "lesbian terrorist..anyway..) he says "you up for the job next summer?" or something to that effect...just a little tidbit i noticed.

I figured I would top this one since we get a new episode tomorrow. Any thoughts on the bidder from Jack's past??

[The Sean]

i forgot what happened in the last episode

[DMBeener]

I figured I would top this one since we get a new episode tomorrow. Any thoughts on the bidder from Jack's past??

My guess is Nina, but who knows.

I'm so excited! I've seen the previews quite a lot now and they just get my mind going in 109487501987 different directions, it's great.

:bounce

[bdb23]

Nina is too predictable. Plus, with her involvement in the last 2 seasons, she should be locked away in some prison. A funny prediction would be Rick from S1. Then him and Chase can fight for Kim.

[FPrefect61]

I got the first two seasons for Christmas. :D I made my friend watch the first season, he's hooked, and is watching the second season now. :)

I can't wait for tomorrow.

[Matt]

From fox.com: 24 (http://fox.com/24/)Tomorrow 9PM/8C
Someone from Jack’s past emerges as a bidder for the virus. It’s...

Here we go. OK. So there are a few possible scenarios (that I can think of - which means it will be none of these given the writers' amazing ability to surprise us all without being unrealistic.)

1. It's Nina. The easiest and most feasible of the choices. However, some call this predictable. I for one want to see her. But if it's not her, what does that do for her chances of showing up the rest of the season? I want that Max/Nina thing tied up! AND what did Jack whisper to her in S2 right before they took her away??

2. It's Mandy. Very possible given her status as a freelance (maybe not?) terrorist. I think we can all safely assume that every little branch of the massive world that is 24 is connected by a common root. The writers are doing such a good job of pacing themselves.

3. Sherry Palmer. Not likely, the hair didn't seem to match hers.

4. Someone from Jack's past that we don't know about yet, and will learn more about as the season goes on.

I think #4 is most likely. But I am pulling for #1 :) SO EXCITED!!

[FPrefect61]

Or they shock us all and it's Marie Warner. :lol

Tonight's episode will be totally f'ing brilliant. Nine hours to go!!!!!
There's some funny stuff on IMDb's 24 message board. I need to find the one parody this guy did of season1 and post it. Made me burst my pantalones!
I think there should be more of Mandy. What a gorgeous terrorist!

The following is an affectionate spoof of a truly classy show. No insults meant..

BLACK SCREEN
JACK (VO) The following takes place between 2 pm and 3 pm.

DISPLAY THE TICKING CLOCK

SPLITSCREEN - As so often in 24 we see four separate events going on at the same time in small boxes spread across the screen. In Box 1 we see President Palmer pacing and looking moody. In Box 2 we see Jack driving and dialling on his cellphone. In Box 3 we see Kim running and sweating. In Box 4 we see the bad guys checking their guns. Expand Box 2 to fill the screen.

JACK (talking on phone): Alright... alright. I'll be there in a few minutes. (hangs up phone).
He pulls up at a gas station. We see him get out and fill the car up, then wobbly-cam follow him into the kiosk.
GAS GUY: That's twelve seventy-five, buddy.
JACK: Sure. (smiles, but his voice has the usual "I'm gonna hurt you bad" grate).
He hands over the money, then suddenly pulls out a gun and points it straight at the guy's head.
JACK: Now tell me where the bomb is.
GAS GUY: But I...
JACK: TELL ME WHERE THE BOMB IS!
GAS GUY: Listen, man, take whatever you want...
JACK: Don't try and get past me. Tell me where the bomb is NOW or your family dies!
GAS GUY: C'mon, bud, I don't even know about any bomb..
JACK: There's a nuclear bomb going off today! That's classified information but you're a suspect so I can tell you! Keep it to yourself if you're innocent. Now tell me where the bomb is!
GAS GUY: Blungle! *sets fire to himself and dives out the window*
JACK: Dammit, not again...
He backs away, looking slightly guilty.

SPLITSCREEN - Four boxes. Box 1, we see Jack getting back into his car. Box 2, we see Tony Almeida picking his nose and surfing porn on the internet. Box 3, we see Kim running and sweating. Box 4, we see Sherry Palmer talking to someone in her office. Enlarge Box 4.

SHERRY: ...and straight after that, I won the Nobel Peace Prize.
CIA AGENT: Wow, congratulations.
SHERRY: I didn't really! That was just part of the intricate tissue of lies and deceit which I create to work my way into a position of power. Now, where is the President?
CIA AGENT: He's in a briefing, ma'am.
SHERRY: Tell him that there's a conspiracy to assassinate him today.
CIA AGENT: There is?
SHERRY: No! That was last series. Now it's just part of the intricate tissue of lies and deceit which I create to work my way into a position of power.
CIA AGENT: I don't think you're well, ma'am.. *takes out his radio*
SHOT of Sherry's eyes flicking in understated shock

SPLITSCREEN: Four boxes. Box 1 shows George Mason coughing and pacing. Box 2 shows Jack pulling up again and entering CTU Box 3 shows Kim running and sweating. Box 4 shows President Palmer sitting on the toilet reading the paper. Enlarge Box 2.

JACK enters the main (but slightly bombed) office of CTU. Tony gets up to greet him.

TONY: Jack...
JACK: Tell me where the bomb is.
TONY: Sure, Jack, Sure. Now, didn't we talk about this last week? You're not well, Jack.
JACK: Don't try and distract me... tell me where the bomb is...!
TONY: Jack, nobody here knows where the bomb is..
JACK: I'll kick you in the nuts.
TONY: Please don't. I thought we agreed you were going to stop coming here, Jack..
JACK: Tell me where the bomb is.
TONY: You're sposed to be taking some time off, Jack.. you can't keep doing this to people. The government can only give you so much slack..
JACK: Tell me where... my family is!
TONY: Your family?
JACK: Yes. My family. Give me my family back, you crack-whore.
TONY: I don't have your family.
JACK: You don't?
TONY: No.
JACK: Then tell me where the bomb is!
TONY: Right, that does it. *pulls out radio*

SPLITSCREEN: Four boxes. Box 1 shows Jack being led down a dark corridor. Box 2 shows a selection of stock information and shipping forecasts. Box 3 shows Kim running and sweating along the great wall of China. Box 4 shows Nina Myers torturing a puppy. Enlarge Box 1.

JACK is led down a corridor and shoved into a cell. We see him react in shock as he meets his cellmate - Sherry Palmer. He gets right to the point.
JACK: Tell me where the bomb is.
SHERRY: It's in Paris.
JACK: Really?
SHERRY: No. That was just part of the intricate tissue of lies and deceit which I create to work my way into a position of power.
JACK: Tell me where the bomb is.
SHERRY: It's in Guata La Hara.
JACK: Really?

CUT TO BLACK and the ticking clock.

Indeed, tonight's show will be amazing, I'm sure. But we have a lot more than 9 hours to go. We have 16 left, correct? So far we've had 8 episodes.

[Matt]

Matt you rock. 24 has hi-jacked the ants boards.
It's 24 mania! If you don't watch this show, you should. That goes for everyone. That's direct order.

[angelces]

I like 24, but only watched the first season, i was a little disappointed that they killed off his wife. I didn't have time last year for the 2nd season and haven't gotten into the 3rd because I missed so much. :shrug: I'll catchem on DVD.

Indeed, tonight's show will be amazing, I'm sure. But we have a lot more than 9 hours to go. We have 16 left, correct? So far we've had 8 episodes.
I meant literally 9 hours to go till tonights episode!!! :p
Yeeeehaww!!! Those three week breaks at xmas sure kinda suck but when they're just about over the anticipation is at psycho level.
Best bloody show on TV in quite some time. The role was hatched in a test tube for Keifer - perfect casting fairly much throughout the series I thought.
Xander as George Mason was a stroke of genius.

I agree. The casting on this show is superior to anything I've ever seen. The Sopranos comes close, but 24 sets the bar.

I also agree with you on the "psycho level" factor after the 3 week layoff. I'm dyin for tonight!

Yet another person who watches it, and can't get over how good it is. Does any other show do that? No.

I've heard that Alias has the same appeal, but I've never seen it.

After watching the first episode of season one on DVD, we couldn't stop. We went through the first two seasons in three or four days a piece. This last three weeks have been killing me.

A signature phrase for anyone who has caught Seasons 1 and/or 2 on DVD:

"Just one more."

I just can't stand Jennifer Garner...Jack's hotter anyway.

ha ha ha :lol :lol
no doubt. I watched the whole thing in 3 days (season 2) including the story of the last two eps being shot.
Anyone get to see Season 2 on a home theatre system? In Dolby Digital 5.1? Man it's so cool. Everytime a window shrinks in and lands with a huge thud!! If you have season 2 and don't have home theatre but have a friend who does - check out the first episode at their place. Awesome!!!!Season 1 is great on DVD as well but what a shame it's only in Dolby 2.0 stereo.

I didn't get into it from the start because I figured how much can happen in 24 hours... I guess I figured it would be slow moving without a lot of action but damn! They are not kidding when they say it's the worst day of his life.

I just wish my DVD player didn't have an issue with the Dolby Digital encoding on my season 2 set! 3-4 times an episode sound will just drop for a split second. Not a big deal, but annoying to the audiophile :) I switched the DVD player output from Raw to PCM, you lose the DD as it drops to ProLogicII, but it's still sweet as hell. :)

Also -

One of the coolest parts of the whole show are the beginning sequences. Especially from season one.

"Right now, terrorists are plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate. My wife and daughter have been targeted. And people that I work with...may be involved in both. I'm federal agent Jack Bauer...and today, is the longest day of my life."

Boom.

"The following takes place..." <--LOVE that part. Especially from S2 and S3. Previously on 24 always ends with the same intensity as the previous episode, then boom, right into "The following takes place..."

Christ I have chills.

matt....you may have a problem...it's a TV show man...:weirded

I'll openly admit I have a problem. *shrugs* To me it's more than a TV show.

Yea and as the 24 symbol sizzles and whooshes it goes right through the rear speakers - awesome!
Are you using an optical output for your DVD player? I watch mine through an optical output from the XBox and don't have any troubles with the 5.1.
Best 5.1 sound I've ever heard - Stiing's "Brand New Day" from DTS Entertainment http://www.dtsentertainment.com
But that's way off topic sorry!
Zoom! Boom! It will be so cool to re-watch Season 3 this September in 5.1 but for now I have to suffer regular TV (despite having a 32" Sony Trinitron, Pioneer 500Wx5 amp and JBL 5.1 speakers with 200W active subwoofer we DONT have our cable going through the stereo)
Suffer isn't the right word though - it's 24!!!!!!!
YYYYYeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh Baby!!!
