ok so ep 14 is out and i gotta say i am impressed where this is headed. marwan has fooled ctu and has jack all to himself and all the terror attacks are a cover of some sort to take out the president's air force one.

sure has got me hooked anyways.

discuss.

Pretty over the top really. Like taking out the president is more impressive than executing the Secretary of Defence in a public trial or melting down 250+ nuclear reactors, or even the initial targetted blowing up of the train to steal the power station back door. Some lone guy in a store room can take out the president, and even shooting at him from an airstrip can get you a hit (Reagan). It's not like it's hard. There better be something more to this than shooting down air force one.

of course there will be. have faith.

I really like this season so far, but hopefully it can keep up the pace its set for itself so far. I'm with natslovr, I hope theres more to it than just shooting the president because that is really, really boring.

hopefully the president will die and america will go into anarchy and the big black hardcore dude will come back and own s*** up

also it would be awesome if that ghost like chick that tried to assassinate the black pres will be involved, hopefully they will tie her into it again.

Stealth fighter EH!

Hmmmmm how many seasons do you think they can do before the run out of ideas?

ask matt groening

After doing extensive research on Air Force 1 (watching air force 1) it seems it has very advanced countermeasure abilities, and it would probably take more than a missile to take it down, plus it is always escorted isn't it?

well episode 15 has been out for a while today, 10mins to go cannot wait ok.
ps. as a side note - lost and desperate housewives start again this week.

** SPOILER **

It is s***.

**SPOILER**

f*** up

rofl @ the F-117A

***spoiler ok*

Haha s***test episode yet, also laugh at the final 10 seconds of the jet taking off. Dodgeyness.

pffft. they promised at the start that they'd have to shoot the president within the hour, and within the 24 'hour' he hadn't even taken off!!

s*** show. s*** episode. i watch every one. i give it a s***/s*** rating. im buying the box set.

Was just reading the cast listing on IMDB, and it looks like both Chase and Ex-President Palmer come into it in a few episodes time, until the end of the season.

Palmer is a bad ass mofo. Chase is a skirt.

a one-armed skirt.

guess the president explodes real soon and they have to call back Palmer, cause the vice president's a doofus or dead.

New episode time!

ooooh

was pretty cool... I wonder how palmer will come in now? Take over presidency?

air force 1 = hit

It looked like it wouldn't happen near the end there, i'm glad it did.

holy s*** i am now hanging. good s***

interestin article on 24's next episode

http://www.bbspot.com/News/2005/03/24_hamburger.html

Link doesn't work for me dude.

Anyway, I hope Airforce One goes down and they get Palmer back. He kicked some serious ass all over the place.

works for me but here is cut and paste

Hollywood, CA - Fox was uncharacteristically candid this week about the next hour in one of CTU agent Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) many harrowing days. In an interview with Variety, executive producer Evan Katz revealed the next hour of this season's 24-hour "day," from 7-8 p.m., would mostly focus on Jack eating a sandwich.

"Many fans remarked how Jack never seems to stop for anything," said Katz. "Since the episode is the proverbial deep breath before the plunge, we decided Jack needed some nourishment."

While Katz declined to get specific, he did share a few moments from the episode. As CTU searches frantically for Marwan and tries to uncover McLennan-Forster's secrets, Jack's SUV power-slides into an In-N-Out Burger in Van Nuys. He jumps out, dashes inside and hurriedly orders a Double-Double with no pickles, fries and a Dr. Pepper.

Naturally, the order goes horribly wrong.

The barely sentient cashier fails to enter Jack's order correctly, so the sandwich arrives with pickles anyway. He then tells Jack that the Dr. Pepper spout is broken. "Listen to me," Jack says, grabbing the cashier by the shirt. "I need you to take the pickles off now. There's no time to explain – you're going to have to trust me."

Bauer is then forced to choose between Coca-Cola and root beer while the cashier ponders a solution to the pickle crisis.

The balance of the episode is a series of intercuts between the chaos at CTU headquarters and Jack as he eats his sandwich, reads the paper and visits the rest room. As for what Jack does about the soda situation, Katz said, "Jack's a resourceful guy – he'll think of something."

In-N-Out burgers are superb! Fastfood like Maccas or HJs, but taste like a Fish n Chip shop burger!

Their fries 0wn too. :)


PS. Just watched ep 16 - thank god they didn't pussy out!! :D :D

Gotta wonder what they're going to fill the last 8 episodes with.

Well, after listening to the last bit again - the report is an "indirect" hit...then looking at the footage in freeze frame, you actually see one of the escort planes blow up, and the people in Air Force One get shaken about from the outside explosion..


So I'm gonna guess that they tried to fool us. We'll find out tomorrow! :D

They say that pieces are falling over the desert.

If the president isn't dead that'll be very disapointing. Thankfully 24 has a history of doing the right thing, like when Jack actually shot his boss when the Ts demanded it.

They say that pieces are falling over the desert.

Pieces of the escort plane perhaps?

I watched the end again too in slow motion, and yeah, it seems Air Force one wasn't hit itself. Theres a big explosion, and then when it cuts to the inside of the plane, you can see the explosion through the windows, happening outside next to the plane. When its all fast and hectic like they showed it it looks like the explosion comes inside the plane and blows everything up, but its actually just the light and stuff from it coming through the windows.

President has to die cause he hasn't been a primary character like Palmer was before.

Holy s*** eh.

first I was disappointed by the prez living, but then felt redemption from the new plot twist.

The President should have died I reckon, twas also funny how Jack gave out the code to some random noobs so they could open the briefcase. Good ep though, seemed to end too quickly for my liking.

8-)

yeah good ep. The vice president looks evil to me, or his helpers do anyway.

Jack got back to CTU quite quickly.

i noticed that too

Jack always seems to be just a minute or 2 away from CTU, yet whenever he needs to be somewhere else, it takes about 15 minutes :D

very good suspenseful episode

Well, that bald assistant is from season 1/2, Mike Novick, and was fired by David Palmer in season 2 for being dodgy.

I think the president is as good as dead. Incapacitation is just as good as death in 24 :)

it requires some greats leaps of logic to watch this show. a real challenge!

vice president is s***ting himself, needs more david palmer.

Well, that bald assistant is from season 1/2, Mike Novick, and was fired by David Palmer in season 2 for being dodgy

Really???

Chewie, take the professor out the back and plug him into the hyperdrive.

8-)

so why is he back... hmmm

also when is nina coming back, or her clone, or her twin sister, or a droid that looks like her.

also when is nina coming back, or her clone, or her twin sister, or a droid that looks like her.

My mate's mum reckons that Nina will be coming back, and that Audrey is a spy.

PS - new episode day

Heh, they are taking some terrorist/mercenary into ctu and Edgar Styles goes "I'd like two minutes alone with him". Yeah i'd like to see someone beat the f*** out of edgar as well.

bouer power hour delivers.

their current aims do not justify everything else that they've done today.

detonating 1 nuke < 250 meltdowns

the 250 meltdowns should've been the final act, not act #2.

In summary:

Blew up train and confiscated nuke meltdown
Kidnapped the Secretary of Defense on US soil, to hold him for trial and execute live on the internet (assuming he is found guilty)
Initiated a meltdown of 250 nuclear reactors
Stole stealth fighter, shot down airforce one
Stole nuclear football and nuclear warhead

To me the current act is not more impressive than any of the previous ones apart from blowing up the train. Unless their aim is just to continually terrorise the US until they are caught, in which case that is fine.

On that note, the stealth fighter's been flying in the air for two hours without doing anything, wonder if it'll be back next ep to do some more damage.

The stealth fighter was shot down, no word on if Mitch Anderson survived or not.

I don't really know much about what happens during a nuclear meltdown, but it is pretty much an explosion of the reactor, and the bad part is how radiation leaks out and kills people yeah? To me that is nothing compared to a nuclear warhead blowing up and levelling a city instantly.

well they evacuated everyone within 30KM of Chernobyl but claim that while it released 400x more radiation than Hirroshima it was significantly less than during atmospheric atmoic bomb testing. So i would imagine that 250 nuclear reactors melting down it pretty bad.

You've also got the issue that if the US is down 250 nuclear power plants, that's a lot of power it is no longer generating.

All that compared to 1 city.

Yeah i'd like to see someone beat the f*** out of edgar as well.\

Dont under estimate edgar, not only does he work for CTU but he also works for the FBI in new jersey helping put the italian mafia in jail.

their current aims do not justify everything else that they've done today.

detonating 1 nuke < 250 meltdowns

the 250 meltdowns should've been the final act, not act #2.

i disagree, they would have known that the government would have overrides for nuclear power plants so it was always distractive ploy.

However when you get a highly mobile, fully armed nuke and presidential launch codes, now you're talking ability to hit key targets in metropolitan areas anywhere on the continent.

Although I hate the new president.

no, the terrorists had the override. The only override in existence.

Pity someone didn't beat the crap out of the damn lawyer.

Episode time.

DAVID PALMER!!!!!!!!

Gonna watch now. bloody work delays 24 every week.

ahahahahahahahahahahahaha.


bahahahahahahahaha.

RamboChloe.

ROFL.

Oh that scene was just funny.

New Ep out yesterday, just watched it.
*spoiler ok****

Fukn awesome episode, david palmer rocks me, jack cainers again and high drama at the end.

yeah was a good episode.

24 still delivers.

Stroke of genius bringing back Palmer at this time. He truly is the man.

I reckon the bomb will go off and the terrorists will succeed.

They're trying to start a war with China I reckon.

Hey what was with that random dude in the van, the camera paid extra attention to him, I must have missed something.
Hes sitting in the front of the van and checks a cut on his cheek area, I dont get it?

last edited by ctd at 09:27:03 04/May/05

only four hours to go. what will the chilling climax be??

He checks a cut on his cheek because he left blood & dna on chinese soil (some guys fist/gun), plus an eye witness that saw his face.

China: You said you would cooperate fully, run this DNA through your databases and tell us who it was
Palmer: I'm not the real president, go talk to him -->

haha nice hospital pass.

two thumbs up for this episode.

rofl @ Palmer: I'm not the real president, go talk to him -->

w00t new episode day.

Funny that it is released on the same day that poor Douglas Wood looks like he'll meet his end :(

00:00:01..... 00.00.00...

Bewm, missle launch!

:OHNOES:

At least its not REALLY obvious whats going to happen, like, the whole chinese thing... who knows whats going to happen there.

Season 5: CHINA VERSUS THE USA

But seriously, I reckon season 5 (if there is one) will be set in the past, during Jack's unsuccessful mission to kill victor dreyzen in kosovo.

That means Stephen Saunders will be back and not an enemy, which would be cool, and also perhaps Nina will have a hand in there somewhere.

I really hope the missle takes out chloe on the way to where ever its going.

I dunno if there will be a season 5. I hope there is.

bauer hour of power delivers. nuke is launched. hold on tight.

Jack and Chloe should hook up since Jack's missus is being such a sour-puss about her ex-husband dying.

In true worms/scorched earth style, the missile will fly about 30 feet forward, get caught in the wind, do a full 180 and blow up hitting a tree 300 feet in the opposite direction.

I reckon the dude who stole the stealth bomber will come back and take out the missile and the president will give him a full pardon.

Rev, your av just reminded me about that vid - went for a quick dig around my hdd and found it. Classic.

As for missile, doesn't the states have ways of shooting down missiles these days, or is the technology still flakey? Would've thought it'd be better for em to fly it in a plane - oh wait, flash-back to season 2!

George Mason was the best character ever. Such a funny bastard

The dude who flew the stealth bomber is dead. His plane was shot down and they didn't say anything about seeing a pilot eject from it.

And according to Tom Clancy, the technology is still flakey.

well if anyone would know it would be tom!

also, chloe is so dreamy.

Rule #58753 of movies.

If guys body is not seen, and you don't put two bullets into his head yourself (one is not sufficient), said bad guy can surface again later.
If body is not spotted, or is spotted but later disappears after discovery, said bad guy reserves the right to resurface.

Rule #58753 of movies.

What movie? This is 24.

Thank you captain obvious :p

New episode day :D

Anyone want to nudge me in the right direction? D:

We are up to ep 22 right? RIP btefnet :( No site was as fast at getting the file up

Anyone having trouble click here

Check out mininova, second last search result on first page.

Good ep tonight. Typing up lots of stuff ready for the final.

!! SPOILERS !!

I wonder if Michelle and Tony's roles will be properly reversed.

Shame that he was in the closet rather than mixed up with enviro-terrorists like i first thought.

What happened with palmer and s*** when they were in that meeting?
Also just noticed that richard hellar and the vice pres (logan?) have characters on fox other show the OC.

Wha ? I take it you guys are d/ling the episodes?

Wha ? I take it you guys are d/ling the episodes?

I get my grandma to tape them over in the US and she mails them to me.

Also, damn cool ep. Twas awesome seeing that chicky-babe assassin back again. Only 2 more eps and it's all over so hopefully it'll finish perfectly with all loose ends tied up.

yeah it's called Geographic-Time-Shifting (geotimeshift), and is sure to be completely legal under the 'fair use' review the government is considering.. It's basically the view that once content is broadcast anywhere in the world you can time shift it, even if you don't happen to live in that part of the world, since we are all one big happy global internet village anyway. It's not my fault they broadcast 24Season4 at 9PM US East Cost time, cause i'm busy then and in Australia.

As soon as I saw the long black hair i knew it was her. She's had so little to do in the show, but she's always been involved in cool things, from blowing up a passengerliner (and blowing our minds) in the very first episode of the first season, to toxicly poisoning soon-to-be-President Palmer in a latter ep.

guys theres much faster ways of getting this iIRC

btefnet may be gone, but theres other good things on efnet ;)

Woot!

Give me something to watch when I get home from work. Can't wait to see this ep.

24 out
hot

edit: well I enjoyed it.

f*** yeah a double episode of this and lost, maddest tv week ever.

Two episodes + word of a new season = merry f***ing xmas

I am sure that next season will be Jack's mission in Kosovo :)

My torrent is going sooooo sloooow

I am downloading them simultaenously and getting roughly 10/kB sec on each.

I got them very fast off UT. 24 came down before 23 but both were fast. Had both before 14:30

Unfortunately i'm at work, and won't get to watch them till after I get home and someone has finished watching BB :-( f*** i hate you big brother.

silly ppl on torrents, 100mBit ftw :P

it was an amazing ending, dramatic and I wonder what they shall do next season now...

the pre-ending ending was a bit predictable... but good none the less.

Makes things interesting for Season 5.

all i can say is the ending was simply stunning. can't wait for next season.

Utterly superb series. Best yet.

PS - I loved the little homage to Die Hard with Marwan's death :)

yay another 2 more seasons wait to find out more about the assassin chicky :(

Sif she isn't Nina's sister.

Holy f*** that was a good ending. Twas also especially good watching ep 23 and 24 back to back. Man, that Mia Kirshner chicky babe that plays the assassin is a little glamour.

I liked her "My neighbours died for nothing" line..

She shot one, blew the other two up, and it's Tony's fault! :)

she's just doing her job, lay off her alright?

also i loved how they left it hanging, with what will happen to jack next. there has to be something to do with the chinese embassey.

about time they moved away from the terrorist thing.

I recon Marwon may have been meeting a certain China Queen out in international waters. Hopefully Season 5 will continue on in close proximity to this season, rather than years down the track, with Jack investigating links with Marwon and China's sponsorship of his terrorism.

Focusing on China also means they don't have to worry about CAIR kicking up a stink again about nothing.

last edited by natslovR at 12:31:23 25/May/05

just finished watching it. two thumbs up on the cool-o-meter.

damn, so long to wait for next season! :(

continuing on in close proximity would be a good thing.
