About tonight's episode:
I thought it was OK. So Audrey is dead, I don't know why but I have a feeling that she isn't, seems like it was setup or something. They better not ruin Nadia's pretty face.

geez, the vp is a real jackass...hes gonna start WW3 unless wayne wakes up.
24 is getting a little out of hand. i know they are trying to keep it fresh and exciting, but the show's so far out there now... it's simply impossible to relate to it like you could back in the first couple of seasons. it's always been dramatic, overly so, but the whole "america under constant attack" just is too alien for me to digest.
and, in light of that, all the characters' actions seem totally out of line, especially the VP. He's obviously the real bad guy here... Tom Lennox eats shit too.
i knew that sharing access with Nadia was going to come back.
oh, and who the fuck gave Doyle his own name card in the intro? When that happened me and all my friends went nuts. Little piece of shit is on for one episode and he gets a name card? I don't know what kind of contract that Gerber Baby signed with Fox, but I don't like that a new character comes in like that... trying to boss Jack around too...

When they invaded the Russian embassy last episode, it was dusky outside. Immediately at the beginning of this episode, it was dark. Seems like a tiny time lapse. The VP is an idiot. Seriously, why would anyone come up with such an idea?
So Nadia was giving info to the Russian dude? Or did he somehow hack into the mainframe and set Nadia's computer to relay information to him?
I figure Milo is the mole, but that seems fairly obvious, since Nadia being the mole is WAY too easy. Maybe there's a third party or something, but chances are they'll try to act like it isn't clearly Milo until it comes ot that it is.
And contrary to the opinions of most of you I think the VP's idea is great. I've always wanted a show to address a nuclear attack exacted upon one of America's non-nuclear enemies i.e. some random middle eastern country or someone. Hopefully they won;t be able to wake up Palmer in time to mess up my fun, though that idea is also dumb b/c (I believe) according to the constitution the Cabinet and/or the VP have to agree that an injured President who's back on his feet is once again fit enough for duty. I don't think being popped out of a coma for ten minutes before crashing would satifsfy most of them and thus his opinion wouldn't be able to stop the VP anyway. Unfortunately 24 is fact checked by a team of monkeys supervised by a meth addict so they' might try to pull something stupid like that to screw up my war.
For some reason, i think Milo may be the traitor, or he was working with Nadia. He seemed awfully guilt ridden when Nadia got apprehended.
yuki are you seriously in favor of VP Daniels' plan? I mean, we the viewers KNOW Assad and that country were trying to come to peace with the U.S., not fight against them. Who do you think gave Wayne's assassins (Reed and Carson) the orders to kill him? I think it was the same guy who is so set on pinning the blame on Assad, Daniels. Why? Cuz he's an evil sumabitch.
would you seriously approve of the U.S. making a nuclear strike on a country that was not able to retaliate in kind, simply cuz they couldn't control some of their people? i think that's ludicrous.

Well, if that happens, It'll make the U.S. into the bad guy (and then art will imitate life, but i digress...), but im sure that wont happen. Maybe daneils will have a heart attack or something
@masa: I want the nuclear strike enough to allow for the unfairness of the situation. I do think the VP is a dick and I do think he is completely wrong in his reasoning; however, I still want my nuclear attack, b/c I think that it would be interesting to see something like that portrayed.
I don't think that the kind of absolute 'right or wrong' ideas that make nuclear weapons something that should never ever be used have a realistic place in policy. I think countries shouldn't nuke others when there is no point to it or when it would trigger their own downfall, but not because it's 'morally reprehensible' (Though I will admit it pretty much is morally reprehensible to use strategic nukes).
About the last episode: Very heartwarming...the mentally challenged brother saves the day... :-\. But all in all, it was alright, especially Milo being rough with nadia!! I didnt see that coming at all, as i thought he was equipped with ovaries. The action was ok, and Wayne finally woke up; but the VP is still a dick, and he's probably gonna be like brady in a few years...oh well.
i thought it was a decent episode. the first half was kind of boring but things got better towards the end.
the vice president is hell bent on using nukes. the conversation between him and the doctor was pretty good.
The ten most confusind seconds in an episode of 24 were the whole thing with that Tech guy giving Doyle the chip, then trying to turn him, Milo attacking Doyle, Morris defending Doyle. It just happened so fast... They could have dragged that out for at least an episode, but I'm glad they didn't.
Doyle seems to "be a good guy" now, but I still hate his guts. I was especially pissed at the part where Jack tells him they're leaving the Russian drone control location to find the programmer and Doyle is like "I'm staying here". Seriously dude, you run point. You don't get paid to put shit in little plastic bags or unearth people's harddrives, you are paid to be the first motherfucker in that door. So when somebody says "Let's go", you say "Shotgun". Fucking Gerber baby...
Nadia is way too good for Milo. That's a waste of hot pussy.
i thought that was the best part of the episode. That doc showed some serious balls.Originally Posted by Mr. Roboto
Masa's Award for Surprisingly Best Character of the Episode goes to:
Charlie Team Sniper.
Did you see how awesomely fast that guy fired after the retard bro finally ducked? It was like instant "dart in your neck!" Now that is the guy I want covering me on field ops.

wow...some one needs some quaaludes...but, yea it was pretty exciting. And i forgot about that johnson guy. What the hell was his deal? His actions made no sense.
And, yea Nadia is too hot for milo; even though she's a Mexican posing as an Arab. I wonder why they couldnt find a hot middle eastern chick to play that role...
(not that im complaining)
That tech guy confused me to. At first he was acting like he was going to cover for Doyle and be friends with him. I think he said something like, "You covered me in Denver, now I'm paying the favor back." Then he tries to get Doyle in trouble for concealing evidence. Doyle doesn't seem like the kind of guy that you want to piss off, especially if your in the tech department. I think Chloe is the only one that he hasn't ruffed up yet.
That's because Chloe has the protection of the great Bauer... And Doyle doesn't dare mess with Bauer. With all the badass talk and him being a jerk, I wouldn't be surprise if Doyle has a ammount of respect and admiration for Bauer, I think that's why we won't see them bump heads much during the season. I think they would've by now concidering their personalities.
Doyle seems to follow rules and protocol very strictly though, and that will surely cause some annimosity between him and Bauer when the time comes to bend the rules. What I find refreshing this season is the ammount of support people are giving Jack, and they are not doubting his instincts as much. If it were any other season, Jack would still be running around with the converted terrorist by himself.
I guess after 5 different crises where they should have just listened to Jack in the first place CTU has finally realized they should just abdicate to him.
However, sometimes Jack does have bad ideas, like the retarded brother...that was a terrible idea. They should have just waited for the Russian, shot out his tires and gassed the truck with something that would put him under for a few minutes.
Yes! I think they might actually drop the hammer this time/ I can barely believ that Wayne did what he did, especially since my roomate predicted it ten minutes before he gave the order.
However, as awesome launching the nuke was, it doesn't excuse the travesty that was the first half of this episode. A romance drama 24 is not, and there was quite a bit of sappy Love-Love dialogue and semi emo nonsense going on. I was really ready for Jack to shoot someone during most of the first half, but Gredenko's actions as well as the President's did manage to put the show somewhat back on trask by the end.
not a good episode.
The whole "Let's use our bastardized for TV 25th Ammendment to impeach the President!" story line was weak the first time they used it, and it sucks again here. The crap with Milo and Nadia is boring. Not enough Jack Bauer.
I don't understand Gradhenkho. Did he know his deal was a fake? Why go get your arm cut off, a fatal wound, then betray the people you just gave up your arm for, then run away from all possible medical aid?
I also didn't understand Wayne's using the nukes for a bit. I mean, aside from being a power-grab, it wasted a shit ton of time and man power. But, when I really think about it, the decision isn't his fault. It's Tom Lennox's fault.
If Lennox had come out and told him that Assad's "assassination" was actually set up by people in the U.S., then Wayne would probably still want to work down diplomatic channels. As it is now, he believes the Ambassador was in on the assassination with Assad and that there is nobody in that country (that he can find) who wants to reach a peaceful accord. The only person who could have righted this situation is Lennox.

kind of slow episode i thought. Since they caught the main villian.... and the russian gredanko is dead; who will be the new villian.. or will it turn into all out nuclear holocaust?
and on a lighter note, jack seems to be handling himself pretty well for a horribly wounded person being stabbed shot and blown up and kicked around in the past day and he's still running around without a sign of fatigue.
this was a puzzling episode. first, lennox somehow grew some balls and stood up to the vice president. not only that, but he got him pretty good with the hidden transmitter. i thought the vice president was going to beat up lennox and destroy the recording.
secondly, doyle showed some compassion and even bent the rules. i couldn't believe that he would cover for mylo, but i guess he explained his reasons pretty good. it seems doyle is only interested in getting the job as best he can.
last, what is wayne doing? he would have been better off letting the vice president fire the nuke and let him take the blame for it. now wayne is going to be put under the frying pan for his decision, if he manages to keep his blood pressure under control and not die. also, like masamuneehs said, if lennox had told the truth in the first place this could have been avoided.
best line of the show was jack saying, "show me your head" during the shootout.
