24, Season 5

[Heb1228]

Was I the only one laughing hysterically every time Chloe shocked that guy with the stun gun? (I wonder if she's like that in real life? :eek: )

[w_parietti22]

Was I the only one laughing hysterically every time Chloe shocked that guy with the stun gun? (I wonder if she's like that in real life? :eek: )

haha, no you weren't the only one! I was like, whoa, free bandwidth means a lot to her! and then all of a sudden she pulls it out her pocket and shocks him I was like :eek:

[ebow]

Was I the only one laughing hysterically every time Chloe shocked that guy with the stun gun? (I wonder if she's like that in real life? :eek: )

I laughed even harder when she did it the second time. Drunk guy: "Huh? Wha? <clunk>" :D

By the way, w_parietti22, I don't think that Air Force One was hit with a nuke last year--"just" a regular air-to-air missile. But I agree that this part of the plot is a bit too similar.

[XIII]

Any clues for next week in the preview after the show? :)

[MacNut]

How does the bald guy intercept Chloe's phone call yet the CIA or CTU can't here the conversations by the pres. If every phone call is monitored why aren't these being picked up by CTU.

[DISCOMUNICATION]

Any clues for next week in the preview after the show? :)
Jack single handedly overts an onslought of fighter jet attacks.:rolleyes: Seriously, why doesn't he just play the evidence over every broadcast frequency he can?
The previews at the end of the episode don't give much away. The ones that air Sunday night during The Simpsons and Family Guy are full of spoilers.

[DISCOMUNICATION]

Silly rabbit trix are for kids! 3 episodes left. And the finale is going to be 2 episodes one one night.
I really thought Chloe was going to die in that last minute.:eek: Good to see Arron is still alive. And it looks like we will get a real showdown between Jack and Henderson.

[puckhead193]

what a trader he is. Why did the president have to take a drink, it would have been over!!
how did the tape get erased. magnets?

It looked like a piece of the recorder was missing in the preview.

[Vader]

If they were so worried about anyone touching the recording, why not lock the door to the room Chloe was working in, if someone needs in, like Jack, she could let them in.

[puckhead193]

whats sucks is that i'm not going to be home for 2 weeks because i'll be in China and don't have tivo... :mad:

[DISCOMUNICATION]

It looks like everyone was wrong this week. The fans should no better.

whats sucks is that i'm not going to be home for 2 weeks because i'll be in China and don't have tivo... :mad:
I have to work late all week. I missed Prison Break tonight. I'll probably miss NCIS tomarrow.:(

If everyone on the show thought the way you do it wouldn't be called 24 it would be more like 15 or 10. Maybe that will be how they solve the 24 movie problem. The characters will be a lot smarter when condensed into a 2 hour movie.

[MacNut]

Why didn't Chloe have her stun gun when Miles entered the room.:p

[Vader]

Why didn't Chloe have her stun gun when Miles entered the room.:p
That would have been awesome!
I loved when she tazered that guy last week!
Drunk Guy: What kind of computer is that?
Chloe just pulls out the stun gun, and zaps him.

Then she mumbles CTU issue (whatever it was)

[Cfg5]

Why would they leave Chloe alone with that recording?:confused:

[cycocelica]

Why randomly would Miles want to help the president? Especially after he killed someone and committed treason.

They left Cloe alone because she is very trustworthy, probably one of the most. No one thought Miles was dumb enough to want to help a traitor.

[killuminati]

That CGI during the plane landing sequence was pretty bad. There was one shot where it looked like it was from a video game. At least it's a step up from the plane crash in season 2 though.

[MacNut]

[emw]

how did the tape get erased. magnets?When Miles was talking to Chloe there was something flashing in his right hand when it was next to the recorder. I'm assuming that was erasing the recording.

The question now is, what do they use as evidence? From the previews, Jack is trying to find this group that's been in touch with the President, but also Aaron and Martha know what really happened, so there's still that angle.

I can't believe nothing was pulled off of the recorder before Miles got in there.

whats sucks is that i'm not going to be home for 2 weeks because i'll be in China and don't have tivo... :mad:
Luckily 24 is now on iTMS!

[killuminati]

I wonder how long it will take them to put up last nights episode.

[virividox]

you think he would have made a back up right away...hmm i wonder what that device was

[princealfie]

finally this is on itunes!

[emw]

you think he would have made a back up right away...hmm i wonder what that device wasI was wondering myself what kind of questions the writers/producers come up with about these things. I mean really, their audience is generally pretty intelligent, but once in awhile you just have to go WTF were they thinking when they did that.

For example, Jack carries around exploding SmartCards, but can't copy a friggin' recording to his PDA.

Also, the airplane is "flying over the desert" according to the Admiral, making it a good target, yet when they go to land it's as if they're over Las Vegas or something.

The President maintains a loaded weapon in his private office at a vacation retreat. Seems a little odd.

In other news, I was glad to see Sec. Heller was going to be alright, although that seems more like a feel-good side note than anything important to the story line.

[ebow]

you think he would have made a back up right away...hmm i wonder what that device was

On alt.tv.twenty-four (http://groups.google.com/group/alt.tv.twenty-four/) someone mentioned that Miles probably degaussed it with a magnet, but that in order for that to work, the device couldn't have been solid state / flash memory, it would have had to be magnetic. Also, Chloe's HD should have crash or exhibited some kind of symptoms. Apparently bringing a magnetic field near a flash-based memory device does nothing--if true, that's good to know.

I gotta say, the writers have really mangled this part of the plot.

[cycocelica]

Maybe Jack did back it up and we were just never shown that. You can never be too sure with Jack.

[XIII]

Really the first thing you would do is make a backup... :rolleyes:

[atszyman]

Maybe Jack did back it up and we were just never shown that. You can never be too sure with Jack.


If Jack would have made a backup, the place to do it would have been in the bank or shortly thereafter. Since he got on the plane and hijacked it I assume that he didn't make a backup. Now the question is WHY DIDN'T he do that? And why is it perfectly logical for everyone after the recording to assume that it is the only copy?

[iEdd]

Any more guesses on what's happening next? :p Does anyone know where I can see/download a preview of the next episode?
EDIT: Thanks XIII :)

Prison Break and 24 to air after the president's speach. And because it's on Fox you know there is going to be at least 20 minutes of analisys. Looks like east and left coaster's posts will be a lot closer together tomorrow.
Anyone see the spoiler filled action packed preview tonight? Curtis back in action!

[Kwyjibo]

they might not have too much analysis on fox network because they won't want people to wait for the season finale of PB or possibly begin watchign another station. They will probably throw it to the cable affiliate for the analysis.

As a side note why did the Pres make a recording in the first place, and why keep it in a safe deposit box?

I missed the episode, but I think that the first lady's personal assistant lady made the recording.

[MacNut]

24 should start tonight at 9:19pm eastern.

[cycocelica]

I am a little mad that the Greys Anatomy season finale is on tonight too. but, 24 comes first.

Thank god for DVR. I guess I really shouldnt be complaining.:rolleyes: :p

[DISCOMUNICATION]

Is it just me or has Jack's hair grown a bit since the beginning of the day...er...season?

Jack swims down the torpido tube and single handedly saves the day. Woohoo, daylight next week! But really kill him Jack kill him... oh... excuse me... Rooooobooooo!

[Kwyjibo]

you know what would be really great for a future season ... if they had 25 hours ... and it was daylight savings time day ... now that would be excitement.

[MacNut]

and if its a leap year.:rolleyes:

[w_parietti22]

I guess Kim is not going to be on the show again this season. :( I was getting my hopes up.

Good Job Martha btw!

[SilentPanda]

you know what would be really great for a future season ... if they had 25 hours ... and it was daylight savings time day ... now that would be excitement.

Hehehe...

24 the movie will take place in an airplane flying Eastward. Even though the movie will only be 2 hours long the speed of the plane will make sure that when Jack lands, 24 hours have "passed"... or at least Jack will have to set his watch ahead.

[Dandaman]

Thank god for DVR. I guess I really shouldnt be complaining.:rolleyes: :p

oh i put my DVR to good use last night.

daniel

[DISCOMUNICATION]

They gave away too much during the preview. It's not even light out yet. We know Logan makes it out infront of the press at an airfield. So whatever Jack's trying right now probably isn't going to work. Oh excuse me.....Roooooobooooo!!!!!

[MacNut]

A lot of clever editing tricks have been used on the promos. As for Robocop, I guess he is destructible.:p

[DISCOMUNICATION]

Did Jack bug the pres!!!!!:eek:

[MacNut]

Did Jack bug the pres!!!!!:eek:Oh snap, good call.:cool:
I could see it coming but still that slap was harsh.

[DISCOMUNICATION]

I've seen 3 previews for fall shows. Fox sure is packing them in. And they sure do look like they suck.

I saw it comming.:rolleyes:

[Kwyjibo]

OH no a landline in the hangar i'm scared

edit: my 24 sense is far too good ...

[DISCOMUNICATION]

So are the conspirators Logan was working going to get away with this as usual? Is Jack not going to have to disappear? uh oh, Logan's paln to "deal with Jack"... there it is. Saw that coming too.:cool:

[MacNut]

Nooooo!!!!
It would have been more dramatic if they killed him off right there.

[2nyRiggz]

I saw that coming...jack getting tricked with that call.


Bless

[Kwyjibo]

how would kim know to call? they were able to patch into cells in s1 why not now ... oh its back

I feel a season ending cliffhanger

[DISCOMUNICATION]

Awwww. BFF:)

OH no a landline in the hangar i'm scared

edit: my 24 sense is far too good ...
My spidey...ah...24 sense is tingling. Did anyone call for a webslinger?:p

[MacNut]

They return.

[DISCOMUNICATION]

24 season 6: The search for Jack. Did Desmond have something to do with this?

Looks like Kiefer is going to get to grow a beard again.:p

[Kwyjibo]

Season 6: Escape from China?

wow ... I don't know If I'm going to be able to sleep until next january ...

jack pretty much seduces one woman per season ... looks like he's going chinese next year ... hopefully she is a spy from CTU!

[MacNut]

At least now my Mondays are free until January.:p

[DISCOMUNICATION]

Desmond might not have had anything to do with the chinese, but I don't think they should leave his plot thread hanging.

http://www.thetailsection.com/uploaded_images/lost-be-desmond-776532.jpg

So true!

Once I saw that Asian agent tell Jack he got a phone call, I knew the Chinese were coming back for Jack.

[MacNut]

Do you think that Chloe and her ex will play a bigger role next season, Say Chloe going rogue agent to China.

[DISCOMUNICATION]

I wasn't really a 24 fan before this season. If something better was on opposite it I would watch that instead, but this season really got me hooked.

I think the writers have a great opportunity next season to change the formula. It's doesn't have to be about stopping a threat. It could just be about staying alive. And I don't mean just Jack’s escape from China. They could have him escape or be traded (remember "Your too valuable to kill.") long before next season begins. Maybe he just goes rogue in some third world nation. Or he gets traded for something he would rather die than let happen and he spends all next season trying to set the wrong things right. The door is wide open. Hope the writers take this chance and experiment.

When did last season come out on DVD? Are we going to have to wait until the week before the season 6 premiere?:confused:

[MacNut]

Ok heres what happened, Logan made a deal with the Chinese to take Jack, The secret society guys will play a bigger role next year since we didn't see much of them this season, Audrey and Curtis will go on a hunt to find Jack but will fall in love in the process. Kim will get Pregnant but the baby will need a procedure and only Jack can help. Chloe and her Ex will become a team to search for Jack, Karen and Bill will start a romance.

The secret society guys always show up at the last minute each season then we never see them again. I think the only seasons there weren't shodow society guys at the end were season 1 and which ever season Chase was in. The other 2 seasons there was always some one on a phone somewhere ordering a contingency plan. Like when David Palmer shook that woman's hand and got sick.
As for the rest? I really hope it's not that predictable.... wait....what...who falls in love? Ha!:p

[taytho]

i ffreaking love this show. It is going to be nice to have monday's free for 7 months or so..... This show really dominates my life.... the dvr helped me schedule some.... but it kills me to have an unwatched episode on there.

[atszyman]

1. Henderson is alive. They had a shot of him at the end of the first hour that seemed pointless if he were dead. They have the witness with the sub engineer now all they have to do is conveniently lose the body.

2. Henderson will be involved with Jacks rescue next season. As will Agent Pierce, and possibly the return of Chase. I don't see Curtis getting too involved, as much as he can kick butt he plays be the rules too much.

3. The puppet masters will also be involved. Some sneaky trick that is designed to screw China. Henderson will clue in the Chinese Government and they'll be forced to release Jack to stop the puppet masters.

All of my predictions are guaranteed wrong or your money back....

and the obvious rant of the week:

WTF Jack, a chinese officer tells you your daughter is on the phone and it's patched through to the abandoned warehouse with no windows and you don't suspect a trap after everything else that happened today? Heck, you even know that there are co-conspirators with the president, and you non-chalantly walk into the abandoned warehouse? to take a phone call on a land line? Anyone and their brother on 24 has access to encrypted/untraceable cell phones and they had to use a land line? What are you an idiot?........

Ok I'm done ranting now....

[mrzeve]

I do agree with the above poster on the rant of Henderson being alive. Jack shot wide and Henderson made a growl when he went down.

Did anyone else notice that these last two episodes were shot in a much different way then the rest of the season? It just seemed like a little movie. It was awesome.

[MacNut]

Ok how does Audrey have the authority to summon fighter jets, Isn't the President the only one who has that ability?

[DISCOMUNICATION]

The actor who plays Pes. Logan will be back next season. What other actors signed on for next season? Besides Mr. Moneybags

This season is when I really got interested in 24 and boy I am glad I did. A great show. Now I have to get 1-4 and watch them all.

[killuminati]

This season is when I really got interested in 24 and boy I am glad I did. A great show. Now I have to get 1-4 and watch them all.

1-3 in my opinion are so much better. I must have watched those whole seasons at least 3 times each since their DVD were released.

[jdechko]

I've thought about it, and I think the only way to resolve the Jack/China situation is a prisoner exchange (think James Bond - Die Another Day). If Jack escapes, he'll still be hunted, and that won't be good. So a known Chineese terrorist is captured by CTU who sets up an exchange for Jack... has to be CTU because the US most likely wouldn't go for it. The terrorists plan to pay back America and we start all over again.

BTW... season 2 was THE best season.

[sarae]

I liked the first couple hours of this season, then I just got bored. Last year I just couldn't wait for the finale, last night I didn't care.

But... looks like next year they're going to make the season they should've made this year!

Also, that scene where Jack killed Henderson was classic. Almost made up for the predictable dialoge. Okay, it didn't make up for it at all.

[Mr. Durden]

Next season has LOTS of potential. This season started off pretty freaking sweet, but I was really losing interest towards the end there. Not the best season by a long shot, but still my favorite show. But Lost is gaining fast...

[Dandaman]

I loved the first action segment of last night's show, resulting in the Jack vs. Robocop interaction. Great TV there.

It'll be nice to have 24 outside of LA next season. This whole Chinese thing opens so many doors for the writers. It doesn't HAVE to do with terrorism anymore. Now...what am I going to do with LOST ending tomorrow and the NFL season not starting for another 3 months :( :( :(

daniel

[e²Studios]

Now...what am I going to do with LOST ending tomorrow and the NFL season not starting for another 3 months :( :( :(

Watch the Sopranos of course!

I wasnt highly impressed with this season of 24, i agree with the poster that said why would jack go in to an abondoned building to answer a call when they have all the secret mobile tech etc. I felt like the ending was rushed and they spent a lot of time overdeveloping the presidential fault plot, 24 still reamins my 2nd favorite TV show (Sopranos being #1), hopefully next season has more to impress than this one.

Edit: Entourage Starts in a few weeks too!!!

[ColoJohnBoy]

Ok how does Audrey have the authority to summon fighter jets, Isn't the President the only one who has that ability?

She doesn't. And no, he isn't.

She contacted the dude... hell, I can't remember his title/rank, but he was a Navy dude. The one that played the guy on 'Seinfeld' who George thought looked like Sugar Ray Leonard.

[killuminati]

I knew I recognized him from somewhere! I love the ending of that seinfeld episode, I wish I could say the same about 24.

I like what someone said about the writers having so many more options now. I felt the past 2 seasons have been very repetitive with the same types of things happening. It would nice to see 24 do something completely new.

[quigleybc]

My guess is that next year's season will involve Jack stopping the "terrorists!!"

:rolleyes:

[rickvanr]

My guess is that next year's season will involve Jack stopping the "terrorists!!"

My guess is that next year's season will involve Jack trying to escape from an off books/ covert Chinese prison.

[MacNut]

Sorry to resurrect this thread but is anyone else enjoying watching these episodes again on Fridays. Im able to watch without the stress factor and I'm picking up some small details I missed.

[kretzy]

Well they just started screening them here (we're only up to 2 or 3pm so far :rolleyes: ) a few weeks ago and I must say this is one of the better seasons IMO.

[AlBDamned]

Do you think that Chloe and her ex will play a bigger role next season, Say Chloe going rogue agent to China.

Just finished watching season 5 this weekend and loved it. Pretty epic!

And it looks like Milo will indeed feature more in season 6;

Aint It Cool (http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=24160)

What's the betting that Logan breaks down and says he gave Jack to the Chinese, then it's the much anticipated 24 hour escape session...

[DISCOMUNICATION]

Nah it's too early. There's no genuine Season 6 stuff to go on other than the Milo Pressman confirmation. It'll be time soon though :)
So it's still too early (http://24trailer.com/) to start a season 6 thread, but a lot of deatails about the comming season are begining to surface. James Cromwell is Jacks dad (http://www.canmag.com/news/4/3/5263). Wayne Palmer is President and the series jumps ahead 2 years again (http://smallscreen.monstersandcritics.com/article_1208792.php/Two-night_January_premier_set_for_%6024%60). So is it technically 2010 in the story now?

Oh and I don't think anyone should be starting a season 6 thread until that counter (http://24trailer.com/) hits 0 in 3 days.

[MacNut]

Oh and I don't think anyone should be starting a season 6 thread until that counter (http://24trailer.com/) hits 0 in 3 days.Do you know how tempting thats gonna be.:p

[jdechko]

I've said it before, and I'll stick by it until proven wrong that Jack will not be "rescued" from the Chinese. If he escapes, he will continue to be hunted until he's either a)recaptured or b)dead. So if he's not dead (ie: the series doesn't end) he's recaptured and we're right back where we started.

So I assume then, that there's only one way out of the current story line and that is prisoner exchange. Think about it. The US gov't (or rogue CTU) gives a high-level Chinese terrorist in exchange for Jack. After the exchange, we find out that there's already a plot in place with said terrorist taking the lead. So Jack comes back and saves the day. While being freed from pursuit of the Chinese gov't. This scenario establishes the plot for Season 6 while creating a way for Jack not to have to worry about the Chinese.

Either that, or the season will start with the exchange already having taken place sometime between Seasons 5 and 6. But I'm sure that we'll get some details as to how it went down and what has happened in the past 2 years.

[jsw]

OK, that's several posts (some have been removed) with the same "24 Season 6" countdown link. Let's just assume people can click on it themselves - we don't need any more updates, K?

[cwright]

I've been told by a local home theater store employee that a federal mandate exists requiring FOX and all other network broadcasts to offer HD (everywhere?) by the end of this year. Does anyone know if this is correct?

I live in Springfield, MO and have Mediacom HD cable. Right now the only networks we have in HD are NBC and ABC. I've called Mediacom and they're clueless... but does anyone know if FOX (and CBS) is required to offer HD by January?

We got lucky when they added ABC just in time for LOST... now I need FOX for 24!

Are you sure he wasn't talking about over the air broadcasts and not cable. The mandate is now 2009, but it used to be sometime around this year. At least that was what I read in an article 6 years ago. I don't think the FCC has any control over cable.
And I apologize for the pointless multiple posts.

[MacNut]

It is just over the air, you will have to call your cable co and ask them but they are not required to carry it.

Fox as a network is in HD now but the affiliate is different, they are required to have the digital signal but that doesn't mean that the cable provider has to carry it.

[MacNut]

Season 6 looks to be interesting, So they want to sacrifice Jack, and it appears that Chloe will have a bigger role this season.

[XIII]

They stress the sacrifice Jack thing so much, it is very likely it won't happen, IMO... :p

[MacNut]

Of course not but I wanted it to sound good for those that didn't see the trailer yet.:p

[DISCOMUNICATION]

Windows Media Component? I guess I'll have to wait till they broadcast it during the game. At least it will be in HD at 24 inches then. After all my talk about starting the Season 6 thread I really don't want to be the one to start it.

Just had to reserect this thread. I had never watched 24 until recently. I got every series and have been watching at least 2 episodes a nite. I'm now half way through series 5 and have to say it's fantastic. Prison break was excellent for the first 2 series but they ran out of ideas. Still I'll watch the last few episodes when they start again in April. But 24 just keeps going, loads of twists to the story, and some nice macs about!!!!!
And Audrey is lovely!!!!!!!
