24 Season 5 Discussion

Next week's double Bauer hour is promising to be ridiculous. It sucks because I have a Monday night class that lasts from 5:30 to 8:30. And I usually make it back just in time for the episode. Next week, however...

I believe this is reason enough to skip the class, or at least leave an hour early. Hopefully, my professor will understand. I'm curious as to how many other students in the class will leave early/skip to go watch 24.

How ya doing, buddy?

Damn, why did I watch that. I continue to be miserable for the next 42 hours.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I told you nothing would stop me from watching 24 tonight. I told my roommate that if I wasn't there to assume I was dead. In fact, I almost died crossing a highway at night. I made it with under two minutes to spare.

That was ridiculous.

Spoiler:

What the hell? Someone else dies next episode again. Probably Lynn.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I had a night class too. I just told my instructor that I had an "extracurricular activity" to get to so I would have to leave an hour earlier. No lies there...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Spoiler:

Holy crap. Is Tony in the same room as Henderson? Oh shit...

I was speaking idiomatically.

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").

Boo, nevertheless I already don't like him, so seeing him die would be much appreciated. Not only does he look like someone who's going to die, but did you see the way he talked to Jack? No one talks to Jack unless spoken to.

Spoiler:

So 40% of CTU died. That's ridiculous. CTU got pwnd. I wonder how things are gonna get done for the second half of the season. Oh wait, Jack Bauer...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The awesomeness of this show - and the many WTF moments of yesterday - made me forget all about them...

Yeah. Supposedly, a future season is actually just going to be the next day, or some extremely short period of time just after the previous season. It might even be this season... who knows.

FELIPE NO

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:

Damn, Kim is leaving. *tears* We all knew Lynn would die.... but Tony... oh shit, son. Oh, and holy crap, is that Gaius Baltar?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The spoiler button is so cool even though it doesn't work in print version mode.:

Man, and that shrink. Jack Bauer gave him four strikes and still let him live. Quite frankly (in that bastard Stephen A. Smith's voice), that was most surprising.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Haha. When that part of the episode happened, me and my roommate held our breath as well. Needless to say, we failed miserably, lasting probably less than 20% of how long Jack held it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

"Clearly," Tony is dead.

But realize: Jack Bauer rose from the dead twice. That's one more than Jesus Fucking Christ. You gotta give it to a beast like Tony the ability to rise from the dead once. Come on.

How ya doing, buddy?

Okokokokok. Since Jack Bauer outshowed Jesus Christ, and Tony Almeida is slighter lesser of a beast, perhaps it too will take him at least 3 days to rise from the dead. We may see him again "next season" which could possibly be 3 days later. O_O

More and more signs are just pointing to that vice president being evil. But we gotta always be prepared for the quadrouple or even quintouple (times three) bluff. Ridiculousness.

Season 6: Germany + China vs Jack Bauer.

I believe Jack has killed off more populated places in 24 hours, so we all know who would win this.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It's okay though, because after that Curtis has his awesome moment, as he threatened to draw his weapon if a guard executed Lynn's command. That guard's life flashed before his eyes. Little did he know he would die of seizure gas.

And, the last season will be the 24-hour battle of Chuck Norris and Jack Bauer. It'll be amazing.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Spoiler:

Tony is alive.

Anyway, HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I had to take my pants off as I bore witness to what was without a doubt the hugest explosion ever.

Pantsless and watching 24. Best thing ever?

FELIPE NO

It's classic 24 for once. The whole "Is Jack alive?" thing. It would've been funny if, in the previews, they started with the question: Did Jack survive? And then 6 seconds later they show him beating the living crap out of the vice president or something.

Oh, and I like your theory. The people I was watching it with came up with the same one. Good stuff.

Because our heads would explode.

Confirmed.

Spoiler:

Tony is alive.

Anyway, yeah. Logan's name pretty much never came up in any conversation theorizing who the "man behind it all" was. We agreed it was someone high up, like Secretary Heller or something. I'd say the President is pretty damn high up. 24 did a good job at drawing away any suspicision on him, basically due to his dumbity and weakfulnessness. The season still could make sense. Let's just see how they make sense of it all in the next.. what, 7 hours? osnap.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Sources: Jack Bauer, Dikembe Mutombo, Jesus F. Christ, the Democractic Republic of Congo, and the Socialist Republic of Congo in Uraguay.

I also think that the President wanted to get the Subarovs killed, but his wife wasn't supposed to get involved. Hence, the praying.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Joke joke lang. Or is it? My sources say otherwise...

Ultima | "YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS RIGHT? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GOING DOWN ON THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES."

Yeah, Jack Bauer is our fucking hero. I went ahead and started a wiki page for 24. It contains some in-depth information and summaries about 24.

Spoiler:

naz | "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND I'M GOING TO PUT AN END TO IT."

I like how the it's really only the women of 24 fuck up everything. The only chick who hasn't failed has been that lesbian chick. Audrey and Chloe have been solid this season, though. Mad props.

FELIPE NO

Yeah, I'm with you there JazzFlight. Same questions, same curiosities. Nevertheless, Jack Bauer get to fucking take down the fucking President of the fucking United fucking States. That better fucking be fucking amazing.

Also Henderson mentioned before about "opening Pandora's box." I want to say there is still a lot to HOLY SHIT moments to come (wait, "no shit" ). Nevertheless, 24 is the best show ever.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

OSNAP. Obligatory most recent episode of 24 post:
