Official 24 Discussion (Greatest Show Ever)

[malonestar]

Yea and as the 24 symbol sizzles and whooshes it goes right through the rear speakers - awesome!

I wish I could add sound to my avatar :lol

*which, by the way, is the coolest avatar on this site.

[Matt]

Yeah, I have DirecTV with the stereo lead outs going into my Sony receiver. The DVD player hooks up via Digital Coax.

[dobyblue]

I wish I could add sound to my avatar :lol

*which, by the way, is the coolest avatar on this site.
:cool: as shit
How cool to discuss such a cool show with such cool people

[Matt]

51 minutes.

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

[malonestar]

Who's the chick with the long hair?

[Matt]

Nina!

And on Day 3, we find out who Nina works for. :)

[schmenencke]

Unbelievable episode so far.

[malonestar]

It's been a curious 2 years

[schmenencke]

It's nice to see that even with the new ugly haircut, Kim is still an idiot.

[malonestar]

Is there any possible way that Nina could yet be a "good guy"????????????????????????

[Mark]

i hate to ask this again, but what is Nina's story?

[schmenencke]

I hate this stupid show.

Why must I be tormented week after week? I just want to go through one week without wondering what will happen to Jack Bauer.

[Matt]

Ok. IMO, worst episode of the season so far, but that's ok, because they made up for it with Nina coming back.

Previews for next week - looks to much, much stronger. Nina: "Convince me." Incredible.

[Mark]

"that guy has more lives than a cat"

:lol :lol

fucking hilarious!

[schmenencke]

Agreed. The ending was weak and the Palmer subplot is going to have to be fleshed out a little more, but the previews for next week will definitely keep me wondering.

[Mark]

tonite was the first time Palmer showed any kind of backbone.

[schmenencke]

"that guy has more lives than a cat"

:lol :lol

fucking hilarious!
I'm waiting for everything to go wrong.
I think this will be the season where Jack gets killed or worse yet, fails.

[Matt]

I'm waiting for everything to go wrong.
I think this will be the season where Jack gets killed or worse yet, fails.
I at least hope that Nina's employer is revealed.

The Nina/Jack combination is going to explode soon. And I can't wait.

[dobyblue]

The end wasn't weak! Jack actually having to say "please" instead of his normal convincing "this and that will happen if we don't do this!"
Ramon wanting to play it out a little longer instead of Hector.
Seeing Chase "Alexander Mogilny" get a little bloody.
What a gorgeous shade of lipstick on Sarah Clarke. Man she is lovely. I was laughing my ass off when Nina comes out. You know she's married to Xander Berkley (George Mason)?
This is the best damn show around hands down. IMO episode 2 was the worst of season 3 so far.
Get rid of Wayne and rescue Lynne Kresge from whatever mental asylum she was forgotten in.
Nice to see Tony going a bit Hunter S. Thompson.

[DMBeener]

My guess is Nina, but who knows.

I WAS RIGHT! While the whole episode was quite predictable, there were some great moments. I kept on saying I hated Wayne, and now I have a reason to justify that.

The quote about Jack having more lives than a cat was just hilarious. :lol
The preview...
Jack: I'm not the person I was two years ago.
Nina: Convince me.

I cringed. I can't wait to see if anything happens there.

It will also be interesting to see what happens between Tony and Michelle...

[Matt]

I'll say it again. Nina/Jack will blow up. Huge.

My friend Carpe said this and I'm not so sure I disagree with him: Jack's not gonna make it this season.

[DMBeener]

My friend Carpe said this and I'm not so sure I disagree with him: Jack's not gonna make it this season.

I'll agree with you and your friend. I honestly thought Jack was a dead man tonight at the end of the episode.

[scoot_14]

That episode was great. This show gets better and better.

[dobyblue]

I tell you what his little Mexican piece of 'get down' is definitely not going to make it. It was nice 3 weeks ago to make a little more sense out of why Jack seemed indifferent in that 1st episode with Kate Warner on the phone.
Jack/Nina - one of them has to go. I hope they have a good mudfight first though. I think Jack will finally have his revenge for Terri on Nina. I'm pretty sure there is much confirmation of Keifer being signed through to the end of season 4 but there is much speculation on the IMDb boards anyway - no actual links to proof.

[schmenencke]

I'll say it again. Nina/Jack will blow up. Huge.

My friend Carpe said this and I'm not so sure I disagree with him: Jack's not gonna make it this season.
I've been thinking that, but I'm not sure that the producers are willing to get rid of Kiefer.

If Jack doesn't die, I think he's going to fail. Something huge will happen, and he won't stop it. Either way, I don't think this season will follow the "formula" of the others.

[dobyblue]

I just re-read that last post and my grammar has gone down the shops - sorry. Been up a while - off to bed.
Roll on next Tuesday!!

[malonestar]

Is there any possible way that Nina could yet be a "good guy"????????????????????????

No takers yet? "But Nina killed Terri" you might say. Remember how Nina seemed a bit apprehensive before she did it though? Jack (theoretically) killed Chase to keep the job going. Don't put the same principle out of Nina's grasp.

[Dancing Ants]

tonite was the first time Palmer showed any kind of backbone.

you definitely need to watch Seasons 1 and 2. Definitely.

Also, on my TV, I have a summary button so I can see what happens on the show, and on this episode, one line was, "Jack gets a friend". NINA. That's what he told her last year...you help me out I help you out..

[Matt]

I've read that after Season 1, they signed Kiefer to 6 more seasons. But that doesn't mean they can't still kill him off. I'm sure it's part of every contract on the show.

Not that I want it to happen. 24 is Kiefer Sutherland's show. I'm damn proud for him, because he's an amazing actor and he deserves to have a role this good to play.

[Dancing Ants]

Jack and Nina better not make out...this isn't Real World.

[Matt]

My previews said something like "Jack competes with a bidder from his past", and then some shit about Palmer. I am DYING to know what he said to her last season.

[DMBeener]

I wanna know what was written on the notebook paper at the end of the auction.

[schmenencke]

I wanna know what was written on the notebook paper at the end of the auction.
Those were the bids.

[Dancing Ants]

so who's jack's friend?

[DMBeener]

nonononono, I'm referring to that little piece of paper that the auctioneer guy tore out of the book and gave to Nina before she left, but after Jack and the Salazars left...

[Dancing Ants]

it was the rendevous point and coordinates were Nina would pick up the virus.

[Matt]

nonononono, I'm referring to that little piece of paper that the auctioneer guy tore out of the book and gave to Nina before she left, but after Jack and the Salazars left...
I think it was just the bank account number to route the money to.

[Matt]

it was the rendevous point and coordinates were Nina would pick up the virus.
Yea, or that.

[DMBeener]

Well that's no fun...I wanted it to be something conspiratorial.

[Matt]

Well that's no fun...I wanted it to be something conspiratorial.
Like what Jack whispered to Nina in S2? *ducks* :)

[DMBeener]

Like what Jack whispered to Nina in S2? *ducks* :)

*whacks Matt in the head with...wait, I can't find anything*

QUACK! :p
:bounce



I wanna know what he said too.

[schmenencke]

Like what Jack whispered to Nina in S2? *ducks* :)
I hate you for reminding me of that.

[FPrefect61]

Not bad tonight, though the possible kiss next week made me cringe a bit. I've got Skinemax for a reason...

The Tony/Michelle situation is going to get interesting. I think Kim's in deep shit too.

[JonTheRvelator]

Wow I love this frickin show.

I say it every tuesday.

[Bartender84]

I think Kim was right about Tony. Tony claims he had already put the new code on her computer, but when Kim asked him, he gave her the WRONG number, and then had to look on his computer for the new one. I think after Michelle confronted him, he figured she would go to Chappele and he covered his tracks.

[Mark]

i still think this thread needs a sticky :)

[Matt]

i still think this thread needs a sticky :)

Stuck, canuck. :)

[Mark]

kick ass! :D

[seantrantham]

Yeah, that kiss thing erks me

[The Sean]

Stuck, canuck. :)*chokes up*
my lil thread got a sticky! :pride:

[The Sean]

does anybody else here not like the actor that plays tony? i think he overacts or is just too annoyed all the time. i dont mind the character, he's ok, but im not too fond of the actor

[Mark]

so, did we know about the jack/chick (i forget the girls name he kissed) relationship before this season?

[The Sean]

claudia? no, thats all new.

[Mark]

also, who was the guy in the wheel chair that palmer went to go visit? i understand that is a supporter of palmer, but is that all? what is the story behind that?

[The Sean]

also brand new as of last nights episode. i was like, wtf? where did this come from? and that whole "im gonna have to sink to his level if he's gonna play dirty" from Palmer? just a little bit out of character. the president has changed a lot this season

....Yes. :o

[bdb23]

All I can say is Nina should still be in jail from 3 years ago. She helped explode a nuclear bomb on US soil for God's sake. What I take from this episode is that since she is not in prison, she must be in on the "plan" or still be working for Jack/CTU in some kind of way. There is no other reason for her to be loose.

[dobyblue]

also, who was the guy in the wheel chair that palmer went to go visit? i understand that is a supporter of palmer, but is that all? what is the story behind that?
He sure do speak kinda funny though... dont'cha think? Sort of south african
"Hey boy, in my country you would be tending my garden; now bring more beers to room forty two"

The president granted her a full pardon for providing information on finding the bomb.

[malonestar]

I think after Michelle confronted him, he figured she would go to Chappele and he covered his tracks.


Actually that's the opposite of the 2 issues. You're still on to something though, because Tony says he put that code (the one you're talking about) into the "shared volume" and not on Kim's personal grid. That might be the truth, but let's remember that Adam missed it too...not just Kim. And Adam is supposed to be the main-man as far as CTU leg work - I think if Tony put it in the shared volume, Adam would have known.

[schmenencke]

The president granted her a full pardon for providing information on finding the bomb.
Which included a pardon for the murder of Jack Bauer.

I wonder if that'll come back. She can kill him without legal consequence (a la Double Jeopardy)

[bdb23]

Shouldn't they have at least arrested her for killing Faheed in S2? That came after the presidential pardon and before the pre-pardon for killing Jack. She was lead off in cuffs from what I remember.

[2stepsoright]

Which included a pardon for the murder of Jack Bauer.

First of all, the movie Double Jeopardy was inacurrate in the interpretation of the law.

Double Jeopardy only includes the same crime (ie. same date, time,) if you are found not guilty of killing someone on lets say 6/17/03, you cannot be tried for that exact thing again. Suppose the person was not dead but just missing, and when they resurfaced you actually killed them. You can be charged for that murder.

So she cant kill him without consequence in legal terms.

I wasn't referring to the legal technicalities of the movie, just that the movie allowed for a killing with no legal consequence.

As for 24, Palmer pardoned Nina in advance for the murder of Jack Bauer. She was pardoned for something that hadn't happened, and therefore, there is no reason to belive that the pardon is no longer valid. As the show goes, Nina can still kill Jack with no legal recourse.

[bdfresh62]

She was also granted a pardon for killing Jack's wife.

Well, there was no written pardon for Jack's murder. So that pretty much squashes any possibility of that.

[bdb23]

But still, no pardon for Faheed's murder on the plane.

[dobyblue]

But did the pardon not include any crimes up to the point when she had a gun aimed at Jack after the crash? Which would include Faheed? A "full written pardon."
Anyone got a quote handy of exactly what Nina's wording was to the president regarding the pardon? It was granted after Faheed's murder after all.

[bdb23]

Nina got 2 pardons. One before Faheed for all of her crimes, including the CTU bombing, etc. And one after Faheed that was for the future murder of Jack. My memory tells me that she committed an un-pardoned crime (Faheed's murder) in between the 2 and that the second pardon didn't mention Faheed.

[Mark]

why does everyone keep saying that nina killed jack bauer?

god.. i am so confused :( :(

[malonestar]

End of s02e09

"Ms. Meyers, if the information you provide culminates in the successful interception of the nuclear device, you will get everything you asked for. You will be pardoned in advance for the murder of Jack Bauer."

That was an addition to the "total pardon" she had already been verbally granted.

Beginning of s02e10

"Sir, they're awaiting your orders....do you want her taken back to prision?

"No, we'll honor our original deal. I'll pardon her for the charges of murder & treason as soon as we confirm her information."

Everything Nina has done illegally, thus far, under US law, has been pardoned. Including the murder of Faheed.

[schmenencke]

why does everyone keep saying that nina killed jack bauer?

god.. i am so confused :( :(
In season 2, due to a series of circumstances, Nina had Jack at gunpoint and information about a nuclear bomb that was set to go off.

In order to give the information, she demanded a full pardon for all past crimes, and a pardon for the killing of Bauer (which was to be done after she gave the information). Jack got out of it, and so she wasn't able to kill him.

[Mark]

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh ok.

thanks.

[schmenencke]

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh ok.

thanks.
You really need to set aside the time to watch seasons 1 and 2.

[Mark]

Still such crap. Why would they pardon her for killing Faheed when that wasn't part of the "original deal" they had before Nina killed him? Just plain dumb that they would let a traitor go when they had the chance to bring her back to jail. Just dumb.

[JonTheRvelator]

its a must mark.

I'm still having heart trouble after season 1's ragin climax.

[Mark]

i found a place that will rent the 2nd season, but no one has the 1st.

and i don't have the $75 to buy the first season, either

*sigh*

i will see them eventually

[bdb23]

its a must mark.

Plus, S1 has some of the best Kim shots. :p

I dunno, the nip scenes with Kim in that psycho hermit guy's house in S2 are pretty nice too.

Surprised, eh?

I almost picked it up today at CC for $45.

Oh shit, I forgot you're using monopoly money.

[The Sean]

nip scenes in 24?

[FPrefect61]

nip scenes in 24?
Through her tight shirt, yeah. I guess it was cold when they filmed that episode. :p

[The Sean]

ohhhh yes, episode 1 of season 2 had some good nips in it too

[FPrefect61]

ohhhh yes, episode 1 of season 2 had some good nips in it too
And her in her panties, yum yum. :)

She looks terrible this season.

[Mark]

she does look really bad this season.

tom, why are you up so early?

[The Sean]

she does look like crap this season. elliot from Scrubs also looked pretty bad in the first episode. i havent watched it much this season, but i think they fixed that problem.


the forum got renamed back :(
at least we maintain the stick

[malonestar]

Did you notice how gross Sherry looked in season 1 as opposed to season 2? I've heard that they do that (make characters look especially ugly with bad clothes & makeup & hair) in order to make the viewers to like them less.

So there might be a reason a character looks especially bad. Is this the case with Kim? Tough call...but the 8-year old little boy bowl haircut does need to go.

[Number27]

FYI guys, some of the Archos Media Jukeboxes at your local CompUSA have two episodes of 24

[recentlytrippin]

I've never seen.

i dont even know his aim name

[Mark]

i see the forum name changed again :lol

who says that sunday is the holy day?

[The Sean]

Happy Tuesday Everyone!





on a side note, back in my sr year of high school, in my math class, i used to steal a kid's seat every tuesday. at first it upset him a lot but then he got used to it. but every single time i commandeered the seating apparatus i'd alwasy say "happy tuesday ben" and politely nod :p
:freak

[scoot_14]

I noticed that too. Opened up the page and realized...it's Tuesday! 24um is back. :lol

ITS STARTING!!!

time to full screen it till the commercial

[The Sean]

oh man i love this show

[The Sean]

:eek:
gasoline into a bullet wound AND cauterized!

and that gunfight!

and claudias death :(



is there a better show?

[dobyblue]

You know I knew it last week that Gabriela was toast. Jack Bauer is like fucking Medusa when it comes to women. Nina Myers and Kate Warner are lucky their relationships with Jack were short.
Ooops - back on!!

[dobyblue]

The little things are so cool in this show - like the way Nina dropped her gun immediately because she knows Jack's one crazy son of a bitch
AND the Leafs are up 3-1 over Calgary. D+F later.
This is one great night!

[dobyblue]

Claudia - oops. No respect for the dead me! Sorry. Sad to see that happen to her.

[Crumbo]

haha.....Sherry is back

[dobyblue]

Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!!!
What an awesome episode. Outrageous. Ms. Palmer!

[Dancing Ants]

Sherri was WAY too predictable..c'mon.

And Nina...Jack should've shot her then told Amador that the Salazar's were taking over the deal.

[The Sean]

Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!!!
What an awesome episode.my thoughts exactly
:thumbsup

[Mark]

can someone fill me in on Sherry's story?

and this was one amazing episode. :D :D :D

[Matt]

Nina Sherry 1-2 punch. Bang. When I saw the preview last week of Nina kissing Jack, I thought - oh geez that's lame. But it makes sense now - the whole getting herself to trust that Jake won't kill her.

[The Sean]

can someone fill me in on Sherry's story?

and this was one amazing episode. :D :D :D*coughDVDscough*

Sherry is Palmers exwife. in the first season she went behind his back on a bunch of things, was very untrustworthy and controlling. so he fired and divorced her.

season 2 she was also a villan. she meddled in everyones affairs and other negative details that i cant get into now

[Mark]

*cough* i know, i know, i know ;) *cough*

all i know about her is that she is david's ex-wife.

[Mark]

Nina Sherry 1-2 punch. Bang. When I saw the preview last week of Nina kissing Jack, I thought - oh geez that's lame. But it makes sense now - the whole getting herself to trust that Jake won't kill her.
you gotta wonder what jack thinks of kissing the woman who killed his wife.

and did you change your aim name?

[Dancing Ants]

mark, you're going to have to watch Season 1 and 2 for Sherri's story. It IS the Palmer storyline, pretty much. Short story, she lied to David about a bunch of stuff, tried to entice him to have sex with an aide (that's S1). Season 2, she pretty much engineered his whole "downfall" last season, when the VP tried to oust Palmer.

[Mark]

ok. cool.

i am REALLY REALLY going to have to find the time to watch those DVD's. :(

[schmenencke]

As much as I typically support George Bush, did he really have to schedule the State of the Union on a Tuesday?

Makes me wonder if I should continue voting for someone obviously this out of touch with what's going on in my life.

[The Sean]

ok. cool.

i am REALLY REALLY going to have to find the time to watch those DVD's. :(do you have the DVDs?

[dobyblue]

Sherri was WAY too predictable..c'mon.

And Nina...Jack should've shot her then told Amador that the Salazar's were taking over the deal.
and that's why Jon Cassar has my vote for producer and not you. :p
Sherry Palmer was not too predictable. Not in the episode RIGHT after Nina coming back. it may have been something one might have thought of in a couple episodes but not tonight!
Awesome show!

On another note
I think Sean Callery writes the best music of any tv show. Going back and watching seasons 1 & 2!!! I think the scoring of all three seasons has been tremendous. Probably why Callery is still doing it into the third season. Great stuff.

[smallwaise]

lot of stuff happened tonight

wonder what'll happen with chase and hector's girlfriend's family

good action, this season has been the best of the first 3

and i loved season I

[Dancing Ants]

Right when I heard David say "We're going to have to go to his level" i said "sherri. give me a break. this isn't S1 Reunion!" I don't know...it's like they can't run the show without some of the older characters..

[dobyblue]

Okay granted - a few seconds before! :) They can run the show without them but nothing wrong with that devious bitch coming back to stir up the shit a bit? Could have been S2 reunion as well?
Isn't it funny how whenever Chappelle is a dick to someone I somehow feel sorry for them. I'm not that fond of Chloe (and I don't mean she shouldn't be on the show I just find that she's very good at being annoying) but as soon as Chappelle causes her to say "parents are a protected group sir" all of a sudden my heart strings are being pulled! Damn I'm such a softie sometimes.

[bdb23]

Again, another character that should technically be in jail, Sherry. Sometimes I wonder if the writers think we are all dumb. For Christ's sake, she committed treason!!!!

[Dancing Ants]

THank you Brian.

[The Sean]

watch, next episode the somehow bring back Mason :p

[Dancing Ants]

yeah, come to find out, he didn't die in the nuke explosion, but he's now half human half robot because of the bio stuff. He returns to fight Jack to the death, and then kills Palmer and makes himself President. All in 24 hours. :)

[Dancing Ants]

oh true. unless maybe Nina is actually him in disguise..or maybe Nina is Terri and Terri was Nina! So Nina died and Terri was really the Terrorist! Get it...Terri/Terr-orist..she's a Terririst.

your insights have brough new clarity to my life. i think you are actually president palmer

[Dancing Ants]

thank you. it's actually really simple if you think about it. That bitch terri ruined jack's life by killing his wife nina.

Calm down, Ritalin monkey! :lol

[Dancing Ants]

Calm down, Ritalin monkey! :lol

how can i be calm when i've already figured out the whole plot?! :bounce

[Mark]

do you have the DVDs?
no. they are kind of expensive up here.

i can rent them tho. i just haven't had the time.

[Matt]

The Chloe "subplot" - I don't know wtf the point of it is, they spent a lot of time on her this episode if it was just for fleshing her character out more, which I doubt that's all it was. We'll have to wait and see...

As far as Sherry in prison - obviously Palmer had some influence on that process - and she did help him in the end of D2..so...

As sad as it was to see Claudia shot - I'm kind of glad she is gone. I didn't like the Jack/Claudia affair, and this will twist the knife in Jack's belly a little more when he finds out. From the looks of it, Chase will be back in America w/ Claudia's family next episode (read: out of the tense situations), so all we have to hope on is Jack in Mexico. This episode and the last one were the "lull" episodes, so to speak. It's pretty impressive when you can term two killer episodes as lull. Nina/Sherry back to back - this season just got a whole lot more dimensional.

[Matt]

Something I read on the 24um (the real one on Fox's site) that really caught my eye and I COMPLETELY agree with. In reference to Jack/Nina:

"There's also the possibility that he really did/does "care" about Nina, and he still has a "thing" for her and feels VERY guilty about it.

There's also all kinds of psychological stuff we could get into. Maybe he's so destroyed emotionally he's willing to embrace anything that feels familiar, etc."

[Dancing Ants]

Not Jack. He's doing his job.

[Matt]

Not Jack. He's doing his job.
Ya think so?

I think that's the thing here - they've done such an excellent job of building Jack Bauer as a character - there's so much to him, he's damaged by the loss of his wife. But w/ the shoot addiction, it shows just how messed up he can be/is. It could go either way.

[The Sean]

i forsee some problem with getting chase back to the states

[lillerfm]

Throwing my hat in here cause I finally got caught up with the tapes of weeks 3-6...I missed week 3, taped it, and then didn't get a chance to watch it before 4, taped that one, didn't get caught up, taped 5...and so on...anyway, it's been killing me to start posting in here, and for obvious reasons I couldn't.

Anyway, to my point...

Yeah, they are building him in an excellent way. I agree that things can go either way. Nobody can read him, especially not now that he is "dark". My prediction? I'm thinking sometime down the line we're going to have a "Jack v. Chase" standoff with Kim in the middle.

-fml

[malonestar]

There's only 1 thing I'm sure of: Either Nina is "good" and/or Jack is "bad".

[Broccoli]

Last night's was not that good. This show is getting pretty cheesey.

[The Sean]

Last night's was not that good. This show is getting pretty cheesey.
i thought last nights was awesome

[Dancing Ants]

as did I, Sean, but I don't like Sherri. Weird how both of the "heroes" wives have "-erri" at the end of their names..

[Broccoli]

i thought last nights was awesome

Last night's was one of my least favorite.

[DMBandude88]

How did I not know this thread existed?!? I've been unhealthly addicted to this show since the first episode of the first season!! It is definitely the best show on tv and either my top or at least 2nd favorite show of all time. Obviously you guys know how great and amazing it is so I won't preach about that.

But I will say that last night's episode was probably one of my favorites this season. I'm loving the Jack/Nina situation...whenever those 2 are together you know it's gonna be some good stuff. As for the Chase storyline...I really don't like him that much but all that stuff was pretty exciting last night. I had a feeling something bad was gonna happen to Claudia damn't! Just when I was starting to really like her too. :( I'm glad to see Sherry is gonna be back...I think she adds a lot to the show whenever she is on. Penny is a great actress and Sherry is a great character...she's perfect. So yea...last night's episode kicked all the above assness imho

[41ravens]

yeah, i had no idea this thread was here either. i don't say a lot around here, but i'll definitely talk about 24. as for this season, is anyone else getting mad that they keep bringing back all the damn female characters? bringing back sherry and nina last year, i was like alright, that's cool. but now that they're back again, it's getting a little old. anyways, that's my 2 cents. glad to see there's finally a discussion i can get into.

well, most tv shows have regular characters. just think of it that way. 24 just incorporates them differently

[DMBandude88]

Does anyone else NOT watch the previews?

I think they give away way too much crap or at least make you start thinking about stuff that you really shouldn't know about. I stopped watching them last week because I felt let down about "the second buyer" because I had already thought about it being Nina in my mind...it was still a great surprise but I'll enjoy the show much more now. I stopped watching them last season for a good bit. When they showed Lynn falling down the stairs--that was the last straw.

But after the last second ticks off, I can't help but watch scenes from the next...24 :) (I love how they say '24' in the ads)

[FPrefect61]

Get this. I've gotten my friend and his sister addicted to the show. They're currently in the middle of season 2 of my DVDs. My friend told me that his sister got a haircut, and she brought a picture of Kim and got it cut like hers.

Thankfully it's the second season hair, and not this season, ick.

[The Sean]

yeah, Kim was definitely better last season

[FPrefect61]

I want this... :)

[schmenencke]

yeah. i wonder if Fox will air that instead?
I don't know how they do it in Canada, but the State of the Union is definitely on everywhere in the US tonight.

There isn't a new episode until the 27th though, so no matter what you see up there, it won't be a new 24.

[Mark]

that sucks :(

[Matt]

Yeah, hence nDMBc staying named as it is now.

does anyone have any clue who nina might be buying the virus for?

[Bartender84]

I have a couple of crazy theories, but they're probably wrong

[twostep66]

but don't say anything...everyone always says their theories are wrong then they end up being right and i'm not as surprised

[FPrefect61]

For all we know, Nina could actually be working for someone trying to destroy the virus too. Remember, she's not on anyone's side, she does it for the money. For all we know, she could be working for the government undercover and CTU was never notified.

But I could be completely wrong too. :)

[malonestar]

does anyone have any clue who nina might be buying the virus for?

She's working for Jack Bauer

[DMBandude88]

so the state of the union sucks:downtown i didnt watch the preview for the next episode so i didnt know it was delayed until i last night....BAH!!!

Matt I love the new avatar.

The 24 promo shots w/ the blue overtones are classy as hell.

[willnole]

SO I bought the 1st season on DVD yesterday. I remember watching the first few episodes when it first came out. I missed all the rest.

So I started over and I'm on hour 10 already. What can I say there's no football this weekend.

AMEN. I'm not one to usually watch these award shows, but I saw Keifer on the red carpet and I just had to watch. :) I almost turned it off after Kiefer lost, but then I remembered that the show was nominated as well.

[Dancing Ants]

Hey...uh..Matt, on Tuesday, you should call the forum "Golden Globe Winning 24um"...just a thought. :D

[Matt]

You bet your ass it's getting recognized. :)

[Dancing Ants]

nice...:D

remember to go onto the 24 website after this week's episode for that inside 24 thinger.

[The Sean]

woo for the winning 24!

[malonestar]

Matt I love the new avatar.

The 24 promo shots w/ the blue overtones are classy as hell.

Thanks. Something made me look twice at those quick intros they do before the show starts and I realized they're still using promo shots from last season. Check Kim's hair and clothes - totally season 2. So in the process of that I ran into the shot of Jack and instantly thought "New avatar". It works.

[willnole]

Just about to finish season one. It was so much better than 2.

I think I might have to watch Season 2 again to get everything I miss though.

I still haven't seen Nine turn, but I have no Idea how they're going to make it believable considering all she's been doing is sharing info and helping Jack.

It's fucking amazing. You'll see.

[willnole]

Not bad at all. I can;t believe they killed Terri off after shooting the scene where she lives (in the bonus footage)

I liked seeing Kim the badass (a la telling the eyebrow ring chick to "bring it" in jail)I wish tony had been.

I would have liked to see Tony more.

All in all, I like the first season the best. They really need to shake some shit up soon in Season 3. They can't kill off big lipped Latino chick and call that a twist. You can;t Kill Terri in the first season and rest on your laurels.

[DMBeener]

I got one of these as a gift the other day. Perhaps I'll be sporting it tomorrow. :)

Gah, I can't get the image to work. :(

[Dancing Ants]

Tony is one of my fave characters...lucky bastard gets to bang Michelle...she's on fire hott.

[Matt]

The fact that they killed Teri at the end of S1 is amazing in itself. Unprecedented on a television show. The whole season he busts his ass to save them, then he gets to her, and she dies in his arms. (Silent clock to 12:00:00)

Unmatched on television. We'll never see a Season finale like that again, ever.

I dunno, we still have more than half of this season to go. :)

I'm itching to get my season 2 DVDs back from my friend, he's had them too long now...

I really want to buy that CTU shirt I posted last week.

[Dancing Ants]

The coolest thing ever would be to find out at the end of this season that David Palmer is actually working for the men who hired Kingsley...and he ends up having Jack assaulted from all sides by like an army of Special Forces troops and Jack dies. Best. Ending. Ever.

Then Palmer walks up, and Sherri is there beside him.

[FPrefect61]

I wouldn't be surprised if Nina's actually working for the same goal as Jack, destroying the virus. The difference is that she's in it for the money, he wants to save the country... again...

[scoot_14]

Can't wait to see what twist they have tonight. It's been a while it seems.

I'm thinking Sherri is behind the whole thing, trying to get Jack killed and have Palmer fucked over in the election as some sort of twisted revenge. She seemed to nice in the episode they brought her back in.

Good read on the actors' reaction to Jack Kissing Nina:

http://www.canoe.ca/Television/jan27_24-sun.html

Soundtrack on this episode is great as always.

[The Sean]

its about freakin time hector got killed!!! wooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

[Dancing Ants]

man...Salazar is ruthless. fwew.

[Mark]

ramon salazar is the fucking man.

[The Sean]

this 24inside thing seems kinda stupid. i dont like the host

[DMBfan41]

What a way to get back in the show! I'm finally at home on Tuesday nights.

What an episode tonight!

And yes the 24inside does seem rather dumb

[The Sean]

i turned it off.

stupid woman, said "turn off your computer if you didntr see tonights episode". what an idiot. i'd much rather just close my browser :rolleyes:

[twostep66]

ramon salazar is the fucking man.

I definitely didn't see that coming. Then again, I'm the king of not seeing things coming.

[Matt]

These last 3 episodes have had such a different vibe to them. I like them, but the first 8 eps. were just...so amazing. These last three have been so new feeling, it's tough to get comfortable with them.

But I know when I buy the DVD set that I'll love them.

Notice the numerous Season 4 mentions on 24Inside?

My main guess for this season is - Nina dies, but not before we get just enough information to go after Max/Mandy/Whoever that guy who called Max is. :)

[41ravens]

My main guess for this season is - Nina dies, but not before we get just enough information to go after Max/Mandy/Whoever that guy who called Max is. :)

I was thinking the exact same thing while watching tonight. I would love nothing more than for Jack to shoot her in the back of the head. But I'm not a psycho.

[lillerfm]

Setter eps. that's all.

And no good commander of a Delta Team would let Chase lead recon on something like this...that kinda ticked me off.

-fml

I agree. Setter episodes.

[DMBeener]

I saw the whole Ramon shooting Hector thing coming...it's one of those things where it's so unpredictable it's predictable. Anything can happen.

My main guess for this season is - Nina dies, but not before we get just enough information to go after Max/Mandy/Whoever that guy who called Max is. :)

For some reason, I don't think Nina will die this season. I can't really put words to how I want to explain it, but she's kinda like the glue that holds so much together and adds so much drama to the plot...there's so much more intensity when she's around.

And no good commander of a Delta Team would let Chase lead recon on something like this...that kinda ticked me off.

I completely agree. He's someone I see dead by the end of the season.

Another person whom I think will not make it to the end of the season: Sherry Palmer. I think something I saw in the previews last night led me to think that. I'll explain what I mean later unless someone doesn't want to know what the previews had.

Enough morbidity for now.

[Mark]

I definitely didn't see that coming. Then again, I'm the king of not seeing things coming.
i thought for sure that ramon would want to back out of the deal before hector would.

[FPrefect61]

I think I like the last couple of episodes more than the first few. There's much more intensity with Nina back. I still think she'll end up doing something good before the end.

What the fuck is the deal with Chloe and her fucking baby? Do we really need this single mom at work bullshit? What lobby group forced this useless plot in the show?

[Dancing Ants]

Tom, as you know, things always tie together...I figure there's a reason for the whole baby thing, and for Chloe getting alot of screen time..

[bdfresh62]

Man, that whole Ramon shooting Hector seen was great. I really didn't see that coming. I enjoyed last night's episode a lot. However i do not like Chase, I hope he dies. I also don't get the whole Chloe subplot either, I find it rather annoying.

[DMBeener]

I find the whole Chloe subplot hilarious. Chappelle was such an ass last night to her, but what else is new...

Perhaps something's gonna happen to Chloe and someone else will have to take care of the baby?

[FPrefect61]

Watch, Chloe dies, and Kim has to raise the baby...

[Mark]

great. more drama involving kim :rolleyes:

[DMBeener]

I really hate to be so morbid today, but really, this season (comparied to the other seasons), there haven't been too many people that have died.

Who do you think will die before the end of the season? My guesses: Chase and Sherry Palmer. The little discussion about Chloe dying so that Kim has to take care of the baby is fathomable, but how would Chloe die? Chappelle kills her because she's a pain in the ass? :p

[bdfresh62]

Maybe having Chloe's baby there is a ploy to have Kim watch her, so that she won't be concerned with what is happening with Jack and Chase. BTW, I saw Old School again last night and forgot that the actress that plays Kim is also in that movie.

[meatball41]

Maybe Chloe will end up choking her baby to death so she can do her job, and then Chappelle will end up throwing it in the dumpster!! Whaddya think???.......

[Dancing Ants]

yeah...i was hoping for some nudy shots in old school...but no..

also, i think the whole Chloe/baby thing is just kim's sucky plot part 3. if you think about it, Kim is really irrelevant this season. 1) she's not in trouble 2) too much clothing :D 3) chase is probably going to die...so she's screwed over 4) nina will probably escape.
