Official 24 Discussion (Greatest Show Ever)

Probably because they've been week after week without month long gaps inbetween episodes. Its hard to remember the beginning of the season because it has nothing to do with what's going on now.

[tdowe99]

17 tonight.
Time sure flies when you're saving the world. ;)

it's going to be hard next season if they don't have a non-stop season. i'm so spoiled now that i don't know how i'm going to be able to go weeks without a fix.

[taphntm]

we just came out here to relax and make a baby...

and then

AF1 crashed and we were in danger of nuclear bombs

typical fox

[EatSleepJeep]

The terrorists picked out some nice Jeeps. What are the odds of finding two identical YJs from 1995?

24 has just jumped the shark. When JB called Audrey from the helicopter, I started laughing.

[Wildmoose31]

I'm wondering why they didnt disable their jeeps, it would make it a hell of a lot easier if they ended up with the football, considering they arent gonna get too far before backup copters arrive

[Mel4AU]

bad. luck.

[taphntm]

no, I'm not going to save the world because I have to save my wife...

bahhh! (http://antsmarching.org/forum/showthread.php?t=128757)

[DMBfan41]

one of the best hours ever!

[taphntm]

all I heard was

"or I'll blow your brains out all over this windshield"

Next hour :thumbsup

[bdb23]

Very good but some really stupid moves again by CTU. Like the non-arab token black guy (no offense) is going to be carrying the important things.

[boredtotears]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn... just to summerize that one. Great episode, and the next one looks even better

[bdb23]

I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I was unimpressed with tonight.

[bdb23]

It had my heart racing.

They ruined a perfectly good YJ!! :BANG
It had a light bar and a nice winch, too...

[DMBfan41]

that had me cracking up

[dmb1spe]

I'm just frustrated with the factual inequities of the show tonight.

Like they wouldn't completely cancel the codes whenever AF1 was lost, or that they wouldn't have an entire DOD department working on canceling launch codes for the various warheads. At most, that would take 10-15 minutes. Which pretty much renders the terrorists little plan worthless.

And don't even get me started on the douches that were like, I know Jack told me to do this, but I think I'll go try and bargain with a terrorist scumbag. Because that works. Dumbasses.

[boredtotears]

Haha, I know man, I saw that and cringed a little bit. I'm a 4runner guy myself, but I definintly wouldnt mind takin that jeep of their hands.

[Mel4AU]

Yeah, he's untouchable and shit.

I'm feeling invincible after the "How many 5 year olds can you take" thread.

I was just gettign ready to say... Bauer isn't a 5 year old Matthew.

[DMBfan41]

Jack Bauer killed a Jeep; I kill Jack Bauer.

if you think it's that easy, then, YOU DON'T KNOW JACK! :24

[FPrefect61]

I know it was supposed to be a serious episode and all with the President down, his son dead, the 25th Amendment and all that. But everytime they talked about the football, I kept waiting for Terry Tate, office linebacker to come out of nowhere and put a hurtin' on Marwan, hell, even Chloe.

And also, I have a hard time not laughing at the show now that I've read the episode recaps on Television Without Pity.

[dmb1spe]

"That's the President's football Marwan... You do that again you're going to get a Terry Tate sized football... and you won't want to hijack that. WOOOO"

Callery was doing an amazing job on the score when the husband/wife were on the run in the power plant at first. Very suspenseful score.

[FPrefect61]

Read the recap of last week's episode

http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/story.cgi?show=73&story=7765&limit=&sort=

And then you'll see how hard it is to take 24 seriously again.

It takes a little while to get the hang of the nicknames, so here's a cheat sheet:

Kiefer: Jack
ImhoTerror: Marwan (he was the Mummy, Imhotep, remember?)
TerrorTeen: Behrooz
Bitchelle: guess...
Poor Man's Eric Stoltz: Anderson
Soul Patch: Tony (great homage to S1 there)
DaD: Heller (Department of Defense, a dad, get it?)
DoDer: Audrey (daughter of Heller)
Grayadder: Paul (British reference)
Potato Face: Chloe (cruel, but hysterical)
NotMandy: Lady who got plugged last week
Lispy Skip: Edgar (ode to his character on The Sopranos)

Read and have some fun!

[dmb1spe]

Good read Tom.


Also, did I miss something? What happened to Behrooz after they found the trackers?

[FPrefect61]

Behrooz vanished into the "dropped storylines of 24 to make way for the more intense shit as we get close to the end."

[WolfmanDMB]

Soul Patch is just hilarious but i dont get it. its been a while since season 1.

[Bartender84]

Actually, about Behrooz, he's only been missing for two hours. If you're CTU, do you you spend your time looking for some boy who has nothing more to contribute, or do you focus your efforts on finding Marwan and the Football?

Also, we now have the plot for season 5: am.org posters conspire to kill Jack Bauer for the murder of a jeep.

We have little in common with terrorists, we're far more fervent about our cause. :D Could make for some suspenseful episodes.

Bald guy answer:

The bald guy is Mike Novic, President Palmer's ex-Chief of Staff. We haven't seen him since Palmer canned him at the end of Season 2 - so it's really weird that they just brought him back without any kind of fanfare or seemingly, reason. But I think we'll see that reason this coming episode. ;)

[Matt]

I will say this: last night's episode was fucking amazing.

All this in the face of the fact that foxnews.com ruined the whole last half of this season with their character reveal on the front page. Assholes.

Unfortunately, it's all coming together for me due to the foxnews fuckup. It's hard to say if it'd still be surprising if I didn't know what was coming. I still think it's pretty clear given what we've seen, especially after last night.

They did a great job of showing that he's weak. I gotta get out of here before I blurt. :lol

[bowhatsaround]

Why did that stupid lady come out from hiding? These are the nuclear launch codes, you can't give them up. Anyways after he got shot the second time, the guy should have said he hid the football in the desert and she would have been safe, but thats easy for me to say...if i was the one getting shot I would probably be crying for my mommy :lorraine

no. the actual imdb page for 24. there is a link that shows you all the guest stars for every episode. they have some for the future.

edit: i went there to find out who the bald guy was. did we see him in season 3?

[Matt]

Bald guy to Mark:

No, I believe the last episode you saw him in was one of the final eps. of S2.

I always wondered this too...

although mike novick wasn't directly responsible for her falling down the stairs. it was the guy who was guarding her and went after her when she broke out of the holding room @ the OC.

she did... but nothing ever came of it.

we never find out if she tells the story of what mike novick did to her.



she must've been permenantly damaged if mike is still in politics.

Lynn was critical when we last heard. That storyline evaporated fast.

[bdb23]

:thumbsup Funny that Jack called Mike, though.

[tdowe99]

:thumbsup Funny that Jack called Mike, though.
Well Jack works for a Republican guy (DoD), and Mike is now a Republican advisor, possibly even the Chief of Staff like under Palmer.

He sure is Satan himself, though. Notice how it starts small.... "I already took care of that, Mr. VP" "Without my permission?!?" Heh.

I'm sure Mike will take a few more liberties as things progress.

[bdb23]

I must have missed the whole political party alignment episode.

[tdowe99]

It's all based on the first episode: Keeler is president because he won the election. When Palmer dropped out of the race, we can assume that his VP stepped in, but of course it was too late and so Keeler won. Keeler is Rep., and so he would choose fellow Reps. to be in his cabinet. Jack doesn't seem too political, so I'm sure he didn't care who he worked for in the DoD.... it's just a job for him.

So that explains Mike's political affiliation and role in the government how???

This was bugging me as well. My only conclusion is that he is an advisor who transcends any political affiliations. However, that's even more unbelievable then anything else that happens in the show.

Not all that unbelievable actually. Clinton's chief political strategist Dick Morris worked exclusively with Republicans before Clinton (including Trent Lott).

he got himself kicked out of the Democratic Party...so he switched parties.

im still having a hard time trying to swallow the fact that the writers made the football part of marwan's ultimate plan. how the fuck can you expect to shoot down a plane and so happen to have the briefcase come out. in all likelihood, the plane was going to go down in a complete inferno. transponder or no transponder, its a pretty dumb storyline.

Voice data recorders (also know as black boxes) can burn in pools of jet fuel for up to 8 hours with out being damaged. Black boxes also have transponders on them, which also survive crashes. So how is it unlikely that Marwan wouldn't be able to find such a case? I'm sure the devices to hold vital information about our nuclear arsenal have, the same, if not more sophisticated, protection then a black box.

I think what he's saying is that it is waaaay more likely that the football would have ended up with the main wreckage therefore making it impossible to steal. Marwon's whole plan was based on it miraculously falling out in the middle of the desert far way from the main crash site. That is just stupid.

It really deosn't seem to terribly unlikely though. Unlike a plane impacting the ground, a missle would cause an expoloision leaving a much, much wider trail of debris. Marwan knew approx where this was going to happen and could have positioned himself there, giving him time before CTU got there.

and how was marwan in his little jeep planning on getting through the inferno of a crash to get to the device. ever seen a real plane crash? not to mention one shot down by a fuckgin missile? good luck driving in in a pair of khaki pants and a no roof yj to collect what you need.

no to mention, i dont think you could also cut open a black box with a rock as they did this indestructable briefcase.

[boiii]

yes, it is a tv show. but given its reputation, please dont insult the intelligence of its viewers. the past few episodes have been just wildly grosse misconceptions. from the choice of aircraft that shot down af1, to this whole transponder business (not even what i was refering to; but how fast the codes get changed+the fact that ON the president is another code you need), to the vp being sworn in under the 25th amend when the president wasnt even dead, to highly trained jack+ctu doign amazingly idiotic things you learn day1 in training (disable the transportation), .. to using the cut off thumb trick when it was convienient (but not when it wasnt).. i mean the list goes on.

these are all season4 issues. s1-s3 had a LOT less of this bullshit. yes, the show is exciting as always. but the writers are takin too many liberties right now and imagining wild things with less and less apparent research.

by the way:
1) train attack to steal nuclear power plant overide
2) kidnap sec def heller and murder him on the internet
3) use above as smoke screen to melt down 100+ powerplants
4) use above as smoke screen to steal stealth F-117A
5) use above as smoke screen to assinate the president
6) use above as smoke screen to steal football
7) use above as smoke screen to _______ ?

i mean, what the fuck? really.

ps: theyve been dropping too many side storylines too? dont you think there'd be a bit more pandemonium acorss the country right between the nuclear powerrplant threats, the EMP device that went off, etc? and hello..whats happening to that defense contractor that set off the EMP, is that just forgotten?

How do we know that was his plan? Perhaps he got lucky with it falling out behind the main wreckage. He had alot of men with him, I bet he was fully prepared to storm the main wreckage to retrieve it.

Yea if the President is incapacitated in anyway and is unable to fulfill the duty of the presidency then the VP steps in. The same thing happened on the West Wing a few seasons ago when president bartlett's daughter was kidnapped and he was of not sound mind to be president at that time. Also in real life Bush was sworn in as president while Reagan was in surgery after his assasination attempt.

So I buy that part of the story...but I do have problems with how all of this whole story arc went down, from the F-117 to finding the football.

They had started driving 20 minutes into the previous episode, so they had been on the road for 50 minutes.

Taking into account how short it seems to take people to get across LA on this show, 50 minutes is probably enough to get them halfway across the country :lol

Yep. That's what I was saying in response to Ken's post.

[herzag17]

new to this thread, but i had to laugh at how fast Bauer got the schematics for the power plant while he was in the helicopter.

1. they most likely wouldnt exist for such a small plant that is not used.
2. if they did, it would take more like 2 weeks to conjure up from the owner.

sorry, I just work in power and thought it was funny. thats all, continue.

the show rocks.

see, it just so happens that Marwon made sure that guy drank plenty of water that morning and so he was taking a piss at the very time the missle hit. It was all part of this "genious" plan.

[herzag17]

But wasnt it in a national park? and therefore a government building which they would have schematics for?

not bad. I guess that is a possibility....I thought I was on to something there, they seem to have all bases covered. (still dont buy it, but a good rationale)

[Bartender84]

see, it just so happens that Marwon made sure that guy drank plenty of water that morning and so he was taking a piss at the very time the missle hit. It was all part of this "genious" plan.

Actually, the "football being chained to guy" is the only part of the plan that isn't plausible. Everything else can be easily explained. You just want the show to explain everything to you, which would mean even more useless dialogue and time wasted that could be used for more useful things.

[bowhatsaround]

I guess the guy could have totally been blown up or his hand ripped off at which time the football became dislodged

[tdowe99]

Here's some Football info. Yeah, it's definetly not just sitting around on AF1, but carried by a person at all times.

US warheads woul d never be transported in a container marked "US ARMY." All of our warheads are under the control of SAC, the Strategic Air Command. Which everybody knows is a branch of the Air Force.

And there is no such entity as the Iowa Highway Patrol.

[Jimbaldi]

when jack said "i'll blow your brains all over the windshield", i thought it made his character look dumb. jack doesnt say 'brains'. rambo says 'brains'. jack should have said "i'll blow your face onto the windshield". thats what i thought

[johnpcoyne]

was habib in chicago at the scene near the end when he got out of a car by a nightclub?

[JimiThang1]

No he was in LA.

[dmb1spe]

Decent episode... but hopefully this will be the last filler of the season. I need more action. I'm a rageaholic... I can't get enough rageahol!!!

[Bartender84]

I'll put this in spoiler tags just in case. It is NOT spoilers, only speculation on where I think this is going.

Think about it. The VP is now in a bunker under DC, and they made a point to mention that they are safe down there from any sort of attack.

The warhead that was stolen was in Iowa, near the middle of the country, and with the way this show handles how fast people get to places, the bomb could be anywhere in the country by the end of the season.

Marwan is going to detonate the warhead in Washington DC.

[tdowe99]

Why is Marwan sticking around LA? He should be in a van on the way to Vegas or somewhere. Or is he trying to stay low and coordinate the terrorism?

[Bartender84]

Now, this next post DOES include spoilers that have already been mentioned in this thread, so DO NOT READ unless you already know the spoilers.

Now, we know that Mandy is returning for the last couple of episodes. I don't think they could have Mandy in here, and not have Max involved somehow, after all the anticipation the fans have had for resolution to that storyline.

Keep in mind, there have been LOTS of Season 2 references this season. I'm not going to list them all.

Remember, in S2, Max's plan was to start a war, but Jack stopped him. He'd need to create an attack on a much larger scale to ensure that war would happen.

Perhaps everything that has happened this season has been Max's doing (blowing up a train, kidnapping the SOD, melting down a nuclear plant, almost killing the President, stealing the football, stealing a nuclear warhead, and perhaps even detonating it in DC). He's creating a series of attacks so devestating that Logan, who is weak, will be forced to go to war against the Muslims, and Max will get the war he wanted five years ago.

Of course, this is all speculation. I just really hope this is where the season is heading.

[loogs91]

Ok, a couple questions.
1. What the fuck happened to beirus? Did marwon kill him really quick and did i miss it?
2. thsi is in response to someone else spoiler tag, so

Who the fuck is mandy? Is she the chick who blew the plane in S1 and poisened palmer in S2? If that's the case, is Max the guy on the boat? And if so, has he beed associated with anything else other than S2?)

[Pipsqueak]

Why is Marwan sticking around LA? He should be in a van on the way to Vegas or somewhere. Or is he trying to stay low and coordinate the terrorism?

My speculation would be that the warhead blows on the opposite coast, and in all the chaos, he's planning on getting out of dodge.

or maybe he is seeking out to be a martyr....who knows.

[Pipsqueak]

was habib in chicago at the scene near the end when he got out of a car by a nightclub?

for a split second, I thought the same thing.....I thought that was the "wedding cake" building next to the Sears Tower.....but then I didn't see the Sears Tower, and knew he couldn't get to Chicago that fast....so I realized it must still be LA. :cool

1. no
2. yes, yes....and no

[Pipsqueak]

I'm surprised someone hasn't speculated this yet....

They could blow the warhead on another continent. Now THAT would cause some serious shit......almost more shit than blowing it in DC.

US:
"Oh, were sorry that landed in your country.....it JUST slipped through our fingers."


I think that would make a better storyline for the show.

I'm gonna go with that prediction.

(This would also go better with Bartender's spoiler above)

It's like they're getting the band back together!


Anybody else think Kim's in the nightclub, drinking and trying really hard to get in the way so she can be kidnapped and send Jack over the edge...oh, wait, wrong season. And why hasn't she at least called Pops to see what's going on? I mean, wouldn't she automatically assume that her Dad was involved in this somehow?

How are you sending these to your phone? Sometimes if you change the extension name of a .wav file to a .mid file and send it to your phone it'll work that way and your phone will play it.
