Ok tonight's episode was fucking awesome... if any of you disagree then you're completely retarded and should stop posting here.
Spoilers below:
I told you fuckers she was still alive, now we'll see Jack in a one man army mission. Next episode is going to be insane.
HOLY SHIT...that was a brutal, manly fight...im glad Fayed didnt go out like a little bitch (but jack is crazy, hanging near a truck axel). And speaking of bitches, Audrey?? really?? the best thing she did was die, and didnt even do that right.
oh my god, you are so right. jack just went apeshit on the terrorists. the last ten minutes were absolutely amazing. the fake nuke was a great plan for the president. the fake convoy to take out jack and doyle was a good idea although it backfired. best episode of the season.
Fayed vs Jack is why I watch 24. Somehow I knew China would com back into play this season, and Audrey being dead wasn't feeling that plausible either.
Nuff said.
I agree with you on the first one. It may have been a bit heavy handed for my personal liking, but it was effective and, most importantly, nobody got hurt.
The Ruse with the crash and the ambush was sheer genius. When it happened, I OMFG'd all over myself. I mean, random common-day mess ups like that don't happen often in 24, and I was shocked by it. I totally fell for it, believed the terrorists were rescuing him. I cheered when Doyle got shot, but it wasn't until Jack got up so fast that I understood that it had been a setup. Whoever came up with that plan should get a promotion.
Well called Bud. I think it would have made a good premise for an entire Season (all Jack in the field, finally out of LA and less CTU drama crap), but it's good that they incorporated it into the end.
and finally, how about some more love for Wayne Bluffing with Balls as Big as Chipmunks Palmer? That stroke must have given him a pair of testicles (or rather, it was the adrenaline... we should keep our presidents spiked up all the time) and I was finally very impressed with his character. However, the epitome of the episode had to be this:
Muslim Ambassador: "We have started interrogation, but he is proving uncooperative."
Karen Hayes: "Have you tried to be more persuasive?" (<--- from her??)
Muslim Ambassador: "We're trying."
Wayne Palmer: "We don't have time for you to dick around with that assclown! Don't you have any leverage?"
Muslim Ambassador: "Well, we do have his family in custody."
Wayne Palmer: "Have you tried threatening to kill them yet?"
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Wow!!!!! That was AWESOME! Everything was on point and full of suspense. I don't even care that I didn't get my nuclear strike, the fact that Wayne was tearing around like a political Jack Bauer was more than worth it. I also didn't think the whole plot would get resolved this early but if you notice, everyone was doing everything Jack said, and as the old adage goes "If everyone did what Jack Bauer did the show would be called 2".
And the Fayed fight and ending was excellent!
I thought it was kind of weird for the nuke plot to climax at this point... now i'm wondering if maybe palmer gave the chinese audrey in exchange for jack? 7 more eps.... its getting good. only bad part is that we know jack isn't going to die because he's signed on for at least a few more seasons haha
Well it was prety obvious, every season has had two parts to it and they really didn't have much to go on for the second part(they didn't want a repeat of last season with the main story being the government is evil).
And seeing how that woman's other show tanked they pretty much had no choice but to make that the second part of the season.
R.I.P Captain America.
so when audrey was talking to jack on the phone she was alright, but when she actually sees jack she turns into a scared little girl?
that's tough for buchanan to be out like that. i really liked him. i wonder if he's done with the show for good or if he will come back, maybe as a head of a private security team or something.
i guess doyle missed the memo that was posted on here. if you leave jack alone to do his thing, eveything will work out faster and better.
amnesia/mental trauma = gay plot device
i'm sorely disappointed that that's all they can do with Audrey. Way to waste a good character...
Mike "Gerber baby" Doyle fucked up big time. Morris is a whiny bitch

How can mental trauma be a gay plot devise, I want to see how you would fare being turtured or whatever by these Chinese people.
Even the great Jack Bauer had trouble adjusting, given he probably went through a bigger hell, but you can't even begin to compare Audrey's strength with Jack's.
God, I really, really hate having mental trauma used as a plot device. I hated it in the Berserk manga (although not as much), and giving Audrey it on 24 just plain pissed me off.
I don't know if I'll continue watching this particular season. It should've ended with Fayed and Gredenko dying... but no... they had to entwine the stupid chinese plot.
See, but Caska is under different circumstances... we don't know what the show will do with Audrey yet.
Not to spoil much, but Caska's situation would've been fine if they didn't drag it as long as they have already.
I myself hate emotional trama plots too, but I'm not going to start complaining about something we don't know where it's heading. I just hate it when people start complaining about the smallest stuff in an episode, and then being proved wrong in subsequent episodes on how the correct course of action was taken.
It has happened plenty, you guys are judging too prematurely the circumstances... now if by a couple of episodes after the fact, if you still feel that the course of action taken was lame then say so then and I'll respect that opinion, but please give the benefit of the doubt because these 24 writers have been consistently good for six seasons and I think they've earned it.
Anyways, I loved how Jack told Doyle "Why the hell didn't you listen to me? I had things handled" Until you fucked it up of course.
If I were Jack I would've simply used the detonator before giving or even showing the device too the Chinese guy. But that would've meant the end of Jack Bauer so of course we couldn't have that.

The stories have been great, but it's still hard to forgive: Binary Encoded Chips, Machine Coded Matricies, and the latest technical advisory failure; Defragable Huffman Keys. And those are only two seasons worth.
ok.. i had to google it up. april 2006 keifer signs on for 3 more years @ 40 million. so.. unless they're going to run a spin off of jack bauers roots, he's staying alive.
one thing i liked about this episode is that it ended with jack back in ctu custody and so there is no telling how next weeks episode will turn out.
*and hopefully i will not have annoying co-workers give me spoilers after i've told them that i didn't watch it on monday*
This post will contain information from the previews, so don't read if you don't like discussing previews...
I was watching the preview for the next episode, and I noticed a blonde chick making out with someone... at first I thought it was Jack with Audrey, but watching it again, it seems that it's the Vice-President's bitch making out with Chad Lowe... so maybe she's the traitor and the mastermind behind Palmer's attempt.
That dumb blonde hoe... she got played like a game of Minesweeper on an otherwise barren and fun-free office computer. And played by the Russians too, so not related to the Palmer hit at all (as it seems at this time)
Amnesia is lame.
Doyle tried to be cool. He's totally got it for Nadia (can't blame the man) and actually seeing the big picture, that Jack Bauer is always right.
Also, how does this episode end without anybody knowing where Chloe is? Especially since the Chinese make a big point about 'we need someone to reprogram the device'
. I mean, I don't watch the episode previews because they give away a quarter of the next episode, but I can already tell you tha
t she got kidnapped...
well i was totally wrong about Chloe. The evil father returns... Those merc troops were the bomb. Fucking enemies use the sewers every time!!! nonbody's posted on this episode yet?
edit - fuck you all. Milo's getting cold and the stench from his vacated bowels is beginning to stink up CTU, but nobody's discussing this episode? Bitch got shot for that hoe!

Milo really got owned hard. I saw him looking all pathetic on What Women Want a few nights ago, maybe it was a sign. Anyway, I''m getting a bit tired of CTU getting invaded or attacked every season, though at least they tried to justify it with the 'security's been h@x0r'd defense' and how does Jack's dad know so much about CTU security systems?
But anyway, I'm sensing Jack will finger his crazy dad for this and then somehow find him and lead an assault to ruin lives like he always does in the final episodes.
How is CTU so easily breached? Plus, I mean... seriously, after all that shit they went through with the tear gas a while back, why the hell would they keep it in the same location?
Also: 24 is starting to suck hard in my opinion. I haven't been even remotely satisfied with an episode this season since the nuke went off. Well, Fayed's death was pretty cool, but...
No. I don't think I'm ever going to watch this show again.
