That would stir things up if Audrey got fried completely. That Chinese ambassador didn't look too happy. Of course, I'm just not too surprised that a hornet's nest got stirred up.
 
Is Audrey that 'price [the president] payed' to get Jack back?

Exactly what I was wondering this morning. Did they make it look as though she went looking for him and really just turn her over to the Chinese? Or did she really go looking on her own, and went she got caught, part of the bargaining for Jack was to let them keep her?

And how related to the rest of the season do you all think this will be? Do the Chinese want part of the equipment that Fayed was using in the suitcase nukes? That wouldn't make sense--they probably have their own. I get the feeling there will be no real connection to the nuclear terrorism threat.
 
I was definitely surprised they wrapped up the bomb thing so quickly to get to the Audrey storyline. I figured that would be a next season thing.

It was almost anticlimactic it happened so quickly. But in a fight between Jack with a .45 vs. 5 terrorists with automatic weapons, I'll take Jack every time.

- There's still the Audrey story, and the Phillip Bauer story to work with.

- That hand-to-hand fight between Jack and Fayed was the best we've seen on the show in a while.

- The "kidnapping" of Fayed was pretty unconvincing, what with Doyle and Jack both stepping out into the open to get shot. :rolleyes:

- We've still got the president holding on, which means that there will be some sort of power grab with the VP.

- I think something will happen with Lennox and his recording of the VP. And are all of the president's would-be assassins dead now?

- And what about Jack's sister-in-law and nephew?
 
There are a lot of empty plot holes that need to be resolved, What happened to Pres Logan and Martha, where is Philip Bauer and are they going to dig into the relationship with Jack and sister and law, what is her name anyways I forgot.
 
oh Bratha

Finally caught the ending on iTunes. That was fast. Usually have to wait till next evening for download. That ending was classic 24.
Yes there are a lot of loose ends for the next 7 episodes. Philip, Logan, ect. I think the ending of this season could be something completely random. Like Milo losing it over this whole Doyle thing and shooting up CTU. Maybe Chloe gets hit or another boyfriend dies protecting her.

Or Desmond from Lost who's MI5 character from last season got screwed over by Jack shows up.
 
So I'm a day late, who cares? :p

Now THAT's an episode. Best one all season. I especially liked the "say hello to your brother", nice touch :D. Some of that stuff was genius, like the nuclear "blank" missile, Fayed's "rescue", even though it failed miserably, but it started off good, and of course, the final showdown between Fayed and Jack.

Can't wait for next week! :D
 
Does anyone else think that maybe those suitcases are empty? Seems too early and anticlimactic to just kill the main bad dude and grab the weps.

It will be interesting if the Nuke problem is 100% solved and Jack's personal life gets 7 episodes of its own. :)

One of the suitcases was sitting open and definitely not empty.

However, isn't it very convenient that the Chinese called immediately after the nukes had been secured? CTU mole anyone?

Loved the ending fight scene. Jack Bauer alone with a handgun in a room with 6-10 terrorists armed with fully automatic weapons. That is why Bauer beats Bond every time.
 
That chinese security guy has broken a prime rule: He has messed with Jack's woman! Now, he's gonna get it. You just know that when Jack gets hold of him, he's gonna put the hurt on him big time, diplomatic immunity (if he has it) be damned.

Remember "Walker, Texas Ranger"? You didn't mess with Walker's woman. All those big scary Texas tough guys just couldn't grasp that simple concept, so in the last ten minutes of each episode, Walker took them apart.

If Jack Bauer has reached "Walker Texas Ranger" status, then 24 has jumped the shark. :p
 
After doing way to much analyzing there is no way that Audrey is the bargaining chip the president used.

America has been under attack for about 10 weeks now
Audrey was supposed to have died 6 months ago according to Marilyn

Its going to come down to like the last episode when we find out what they gave up to get Jack back

I think you are correct. Chang, (I think the name of the chinese secret police guy is Chang. could be wrong. ) mentioned that "your president has paid a high price for Jack Bauer's freedom". Man, I can't wait to find out just what this was. I'm tempted to suggest some kind of nuclear secret, but even that sounds too easy.

Maybe one of the villians from a previous season was released from imprisonment? That can't be. Jack's killed them all. Except for Logan. It could be from a mission we didn't see. Jack has quite a few old enemies that are new to us when they pop up (Salazars, Denis Hopper, ect.). Maybe we finally find out who Nina's German contact was. There are a lot of conspiracy guys on the other end of phone calls who have gotten away over the years.

Yes, that's what I like about this show; damn near anything is possible. (But no more cougars,,ever. )

Heh-heh,, I wonder if this plotline could involve hit-lady-for-hire Mandy? (actress Mia Kirshner.) We haven't heard from her for awhile, and she seems to enjoy showing up every now and then, just to torment Jack and the CTU.

Meanwhile,,,, We've all heard those Chuck Norris jokes. It seems that now, there are some similar Jack Bauer jokes.


I think everyone knows that Chuck Norris can kick the fictional Jack Bauer's ass. Regardless of the fact that Chuck Norris can, and has done this in the here and now while Jack Bauer is completely fabricated, the Jack facts are entertaining.

1) If everyone on "24" followed Jack Bauer's instructions, it would be called "12".

2) If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he'd shoot Nina twice.

3) Upon hearing that he was played by Kiefer Sutherland, Jack Bauer killed Sutherland. Jack Bauer gets played by no man.

4) Jack Bauer once forgot where he put his keys. He then spent the next half-hour torturing himself until he gave up the location of the keys.

5) Jack Bauers calendar goes from March 31st to April 2nd, no one fools Jack Bauer.

6) Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.

7) When life gave Jack Bauer lemons, he used them to kill terrorists. Jack Bauer ****ing hates lemonade.

8) Jack Bauer once won a game of Connect 4 in 3 moves.

9) Jack Bauer removed the "Escape" button from his keyboard. Jack Bauer never needs to escape.

10) Every mathematical inequality officially ends with "< Jack Bauer".

11) Jack Bauer once double teamed a girl.. by himself.

12) When Google can't find something, it asks Jack Bauer for help.

13) There are no such thing as lesbians, just women who never met Jack Bauer.

14) Men are ok with their wives fantasizing about Jack Bauer during sex; because they are doing the same thing.

15) Jack Bauer has been to Mars. That's why there's no life on Mars.
