Who here watches 24? What'd you think of tonight's episodes? Any predictions for upcoming hours?

IF YOU'RE GOING TO POST THINGS THAT MIGHT BE SEEN AS SPOILERS, POST THEM IN WHITE!

I honestly kind of forgot about the whole multiple plots aspect of it. I think that the president's son's murder has to do with Almeida and the money is being used to somehow finance the genocide in Africa.

Discuss.

24 is on Fox, which is regular TV here in the states...

tonights episodes were interesting.
what is Almeida's motive/objective? possibly a plot to reestablish CTU and save Jack's legal troubles?
are the FBI agent and her boss more than coworkers?
who else in the FBI is playing both sides?
and finally, why is Jack so cool?


will be interesting as it unravels.

The real question is: Is it possible for Jack not to be so damn cool?

Here's a random piece of trivia. Howard Gordon used to be my boss. If you don't know who Howard Gordon is, look it, then you'll see how it relates to this thread.

If you didn't sleep with him, it doesn't help your chances of getting ahead in the world, Maki. Sorry.

I think you can watch full episodes on the Fox/24 site:

Yeah I know. I remember when 24 first came out, I called him to congratulate him. He has like six assistants now. No way can I reach him anymore. He's too big. Still a nice guy. When he hired me, he wrote a lot of the x-files. He had his hands in the creation of Buffy, and I'm pretty sure Charmed is all his baby too. Then 24 hit, and that was it.

Still, I'm a big fan of 24. It's a great show. My wife and I watch it religiously.

I get this:

"Thank you for your interest in FOX.
This episode is currently only available to viewers living in the United States."

So the last time I even tried to watch this show, someone set off a nuclear bomb. I take it all the cast of the show survived that disruption and came out unscathed?

I don't think any of the characters were in the blast radius, and the wind just happend to be blowing in the "right" direction...

They did kill off a bunch of main characters in one season tho. Right at the beginning too

I hope that Gorafalo Beeyatch catches a stray round or gets "interrogated" by Jack Bauer As much as I hate her, she plays a good part. I also liked "Senator Red"

Senator Red may be the best character since President Logan. I wonder if they can find a role for Director of Homeland Security "Kelso".

It's shaping up to be another great season. How this show does it without jumping the shark is beyond me. Of course it's not that hard when the only competition is reality shows.
