That would be fantasic. XD
Kim looks so much prettier with long hair.
oh yeah, did they forget about Lynn? LOL

Download it from a torrent site. Both of these are totally worth watching instead of seeing second hand (especially the second one).

Seconded. There is no way that words can adequately describe these episodes. You have to watch them for yourself.

Yea, good idea. I'll get on that right now.

As soon as I stepped into my house, my brother comes out of no where and says

"YOU JUST MISSED THE CRAZIEST EPISODE(S) OF 24 EVER!!"

Now I'll have to deal with all the second hand info while I wait for the download to complete..

All I can say is holy poo on a stick, that was my most exciting two hours I've had all day and it was a pretty darn exciting day! My socks have been officially rocked. Damn I have to wait another week to see what happens!! >_<

There's no way words can convey how I feel right now. Just know that that was the best two hours of TV so far this year!

First big OMG moment: Big pimpin Aaron Pierce! Man, you could tell he was enjoying that moment as much if not more than the first lady was. My love for that scene was even greater just because I hate Logan's guts, and becuse I think she's too good for him anyway. But man, that was so hella cool!

Second moment: Curtis running out of the hospital with the gas canister. I truly didn't know if he was gonna make it out of there or not in time, mainly because of all the idiots still standing in the hallway. I mean, what part of "Clear the hallway!" don't those people understand. A very suspenseful scene.

Third moment: Jack shooting Henderson's wife. I was truly shocked by this, moreso than all the other moments except the ending of the second episode. This was totally unexpected, as I just expected him to shoot Henderson himself like he would normally do. Truly jaw-dropping.

Fourth moment: Edgar's death. Holy fucking God that was totally unexpected. But everything starting from the cut back to the show from commercial up to the ending scene was perfect. I have to say, this attack on CTU was even scarier than the bombing from season 2, as we had to watch these people die while looking at Jack & Co. watch these people die. It felt terrible just watching the nobodies die, but to watch Edgar die (and to see Chloe almost cry like that) was truly the greatest shock of the whole two hours. By no stretch was he my favorite character, but that would have been a hard death to watch no matter which main cast member it was.

Not only were those moments good, but so was mostly every thing in between (though I have to admit that I still don't really care for this Bierko guy as the villain yet). But as great as those two hors were, next week looks like it could surpass it.

If they can keep pulling shit off like these two episodes, season 5 may just pull up ahead on my season ranking list.

I just have to say that I agree with you there. There was just something about that scene. And Aaron is one of my favourite characters, he's just so awesome!

I actually only just started watching "24" last Monday, but I'm with a good group of people, and I've been getting filled in. HOT DAMN this show is addicting.
Oh man, you cannot believe how floored I was by that. That was amazing on so many levels - especially the suddenness with which he did it. He just whipped the gun over and shot her in the leg - brilliant. That scene showed just how much of a real bastard that Henderson guy is.

I also liked when the ambiguously-accented dude who planted the gas in the CTU facility got shot by Jack. That right there, they should've just flashed on the screen "OWNED" for a frame or two. Or, when he took the guard hostage: "I'm in your base, killin your doods." Come on. You thought it, too.

Also, in regards to Aaron, I'm more of a fan of the way he ended the last episode - "Oops! I'm not dead! But you guys are!" BANG BANG!
Bad Guy: "Wait, I'm a terrorist! I've got this nasty flamethrower!"
Aaron: "Oh, so then it'll blow up bigger when I do this!" BANG!
Bad Guy: "OH SNAP!" (is blown up)

Aaron pwns hardcore.

Definatly reminded me of why I love and why I watch 24.



Double Post:
So what do you guys think it is that Henderson knows? I don't think that CTU is a target, probably something bigger. Smart move by the terrorists though...crippling CTU will help their cause, but fuels the Vice Presidents plan for Martial Law.

I forget, where did Curtis finish this episode?

RR, I think Curtis is still on the way back from the hospital, or still working there.

Was Lynn in the same room as everyone else? I didn't see where he and Bill ended up, though I thought Bill was in the conference room.

Wow all I can say is wow the second half was amazing poor Edgar… when you think about he died because he was trying to be a nice guy and check on the that chick in the blue shirt. Had he stayed at his desk he probably be in the room with Jack. Now next week:

I thought that too, but nah, it's boyfriend. "Boyfriend that is 20 years older than her." He said so in an interview on the news after 24.

I'm guessing the writers chose him because:
1. She was missing a romantic part of her life (Chase left).
2. She was missing a father figure (her dad "died").

Wha.. huh? Since when was this the Angel Discussion Thread?

Anyway! Holy crap, the second episode tonight was probably the most tense in 24 ever. The last 10 minutes were incredible. And fuckin' Edgar. :( Silent timer. :(

:( :( :( :(

does anyone have screenshots of when jack was going to cut out walt's eye?
i've tried google image search but they give pose pictures, no screenshots.

Haha, whatever would you need something like that for?

Oh dear god, I agree with the feeling I get from the thread here, it was just all levels of awesome tonight O_O It seemed to have all the best parts of previous seasons crammed into one season. We were due for another attack on CTU anyway.

I'm wondering a little though, the terrorists kept saying that their purpose was never to set off the gas on American soil, but they obviously had enough information/plan to know that Lynn would be at CTU, to contact Lynn's sister's boyfriend to mug Lynn for his keycard, and have a building plan of CTU as well. That seems like a bit much preparation for something they just made up on the fly.

And I really wanna know what Henderson is hiding. He let his wife get shot and would even let her be crippled (props on good acting as well, his face was super red after she got shot) to hide his info.

Oh man, I was just going "Holy Shit! Holy Shit! HOLY SHIT!" Throughout that last 10 minutes of each episode.

Great way to set up the next episode too, with Tony and Henderson in the same room.

Speaking of Henderson anyone have any theories on what he could possibly know that would make him say that it'd be like opening "pandora's box"?

And man, I hate how Logan is so easily manipulated. That guy is way too dependant on others to make his decision, I hope this is the last season that we see him as President.

Ahh, can't wait till next week!

(BTW, X-Men 3 looks awesome!)
