24

[Pheidippides]

Right. Teri Bauer, David Palmer, Edgar Styles, etc.

No ticker when Tony "died," so everyone kept waiting for his grand re-entrance. But last night, since two key players appeared to die, the silence could mean only one of them really did...

Who was the second one?

[woot]

Who was the second one?

The guy that was injected by the Russian mob dude?

[Pheidippides]

The guy that was injected by the Russian mob dude?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he didn't warrant a silent timer.

[PaloAltoCougar]

They've had the silent ticker at the end in back-to-back episodes, a first I think.

And one of the ongoing sources of amusement for me is how fast and efficient everyone is in 24. Jack being able to traverse LA in ten minutes was always a staple, and now he and others have brought that skill to Manhattan. I can't get from a hotel to a restaurant a few blocks away in less than 20, but the folks on 24 can flit from borough to borough during commercial breaks.

Last night was especially cool, as the entire IRK government was able to

Spoiler for A model for national governance:

learn of the assassination of their president, consider replacements, and vote in his widow as the new leader, all in about twenty minutes.

I voted for Obama expecting that kind of efficiency, and I must say I've been disappointed.

[woot]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he didn't warrant a silent timer.

Agreed. If they stick with convention, Renee is toast.

[dabrockster]

Pretty sure that's been the case the whole series when a main character dies.

Hmm. I have only seen a few seasons (The last 3 to be exact) so I really didn't pay attention..

[dabrockster]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he didn't warrant a silent timer.

I agree with this.

President Taylor has gone from Independent/Determined President to a bumbling child who cries at the idea of losing on of her aide. In addition to the fact that Logan is no in control and she is nothing more then a puppet on strings..

Never mind her 180 degree turn from taking a stand on right from wrong, and her clouded judgement just to make this peace accord work..


I have been more disappointed by these last two episodes since Logan has come back into play...

Agreed. Taylor has totally gone against everything she has stood for in what, 2 hours time? Lame. Chloe dissapointed. Now that she has a little power, she isn't helping Jack anymore like she has for the past 10 years.

But Jack used Chloe because he knew what she would do under the circumstances.

Except - didn't she just a few hours ago hold a gun on a guy to help Jack in the face of being wrong?

[dabrockster]

Now THAT was an episode I enjoyed. The ending was good. I wasn't sure if he was going to do it..


Jack is on a rampage next week...

[clackamascoug]

That was the best 10 minutes of the series. I have a new respect for pliers.

[dabrockster]

Jack is back.. And he is wielding: pliers, a blow torch, knife, and a digging into stomachs for smart cards...


It will be interesting to see what he does next...

[Pheidippides]

Yeah, so Jack has completely lost it. Awesomeness. After 7.8 seasons, he's finally completely gone bananas.

I am new to the 24 franchise. My wife and I watched season one over a couple of weeks and enjoyed it, for the most part, and are now about 7-8 e[isodes into season two.

Can I say that I find his daughter Kim to be the most annoying character fo the series? She does just about every stupid thing she can possibly do in any given situation. I keep hoping she will die so we can stop going to her story line. Does this change over the series?
