[Movie] 24 Season 6 Discussion Thread

Wow! I just loved the most recent episode and I'm also glad that Nadia seems to be getting more air time than Chloe. I got tired of her a while ago.

I also really liked the fight between Fayed and Jack, it was very gritty. BTW, does anyone know why jack killed Fayed? He could have just restrained him for arrest which I expected him to do.

How ya doing, buddy?

Why take any chances that he could escape with the nukes or just get away. Besides after what he pulled at the bigging of that day jack just wanted some revenge.

No. Chloe has more personality in her pinky finger than Nadia has in her whole body. The character is there so the writers can say, "Hey, not all of the Muslim characters in 24 are evil!" The argument between Nadia and Milo was so contrived; it just doesn't seem plausible for Milo to get that worked up with jealousy over such a simple thing.

That being said, this episode was miles better than the dreck we've gotten the past few weeks. The climactic scene with Fayed is possibly the best scene ever, and we get the whole nuclear plot line wrapped up early. I can't imagine the Chinese want something related to the nuclear bombs, considering they already possess nuclear technology. Whatever they want, it's probably just a pretext to lure Jack back into their custody.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Jack is so shit-hot now: he's saved the world in ony 17 hours!!!

Now he's got a whole seven to save his girl and I'll bet he'll do it without taking a dump or grabbing a bite to eat!!

And she's hotter!!!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That pic is so horribly airbrushed, it's awful. Not to mention how silly it looks.

Great episode. Lots of Jack awesomeness too. Coincidence, I think not.

<3 Jack

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm glad they ended that lame nuke storyline.

But I can't wait to find out in what ridiculous way they are going to explain why the Chinese would kidnap Audrey. This season started out with Jack being released from the Chinese prison because the US paid tons of money to China to have him release so that Fayed could kill him. But for some reason, the Chinese kidnapped Audrey a year or whatever previous to that? Why? It makes no sense(which is nothing new). And I love that the Chinese dude called Jack literally 1 minute after the nuke threat ended, what great timing!

At least I still have 2 well written shows back on the air now to fall back on. The Shield and The Sopranos.

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

It makes perfect sense, the writers have already more or less told us the reason they kidnapped her, she was sniffing around areas were the Chinese wouldn’t want her to be sniffing hence the need to make her disappear but her being the daughter of the secretary of defense, and forgot what ever position she had at CTU “DOD liaison?” she seemed like a pretty good barging chip to keep alive/ torture for information, hence instead of simply killing her they faked her death and kept her alive. What ever they are doing today (I hope at least) has nothing to do with why they kidnapped her a year ago, or Jack’s release, they just saw an opportunity to gain something and are playing Audrey card they had up thier sleave in order to get it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That or they noticed that physical torture did nothing to Jack. They're probably hoping that Audrey will make him snap and tell them whatever. But I'm guessing they want the suitcase nukes. Why else in the preview was everyone pointing their guns at him? =p

Most amazing jew boots

Im just glad the nuke plot is over, though i would of liked another nuke to go off to make it more interesting.

Jack only has 7hrs to save audrey, this im looking foward too.

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

At who? Jack? Cool. Jack hasn't "gone rogue" in a while I guess it was due

Good episode, especially nice music during Fayed's death. Why on Earth did Fayed go to the bombs though after the incident at the tunnel? Surely he'd know he would be easily tracked seeing as that side-room is the only place he'd be able to end up.

I was speaking idiomatically.

If it wasn't for Jack, Fayed would've gotten away though =o Also, what else could he do? He caught the duress code, so he figured they were using him. He did the best thing possible, really!

Well, it would have probably been smatter to if he just told his men to each take a nuke, split up and blow up the most populated place they could reach. Fayed would have been better off using himself as a decoy instead of actually going back for the nukes himself, this would have completely eliminated the risk of CTU tracking him, but hey even terrorist masterminds make mistakes.

FELIPE NO

You cant do that without a phone, and even if he found a pay phone, CTU would of been all over that, with Wayne Palmer on line 2 listening in.

man this show is getting predicatable

1 stolen cell phone and 1 text message later everything would have been set. If jack can just snag a car with a fully charged cell phone right after he escaped from fayed then so can he.

He already had a cell phone he snagged it off the maintenance truck guy, guess you missed the little part were he said: "I’m on my way to you now" on it. You can check the official episode guide on fox.com at 10:45pm Fayed definitely had a phone.

How ya doing, buddy?

The staged rescue was a parallel to the staged rescue that the Chinese set up while Jack was in Chinese prison, to trick him into blowing an undercover agent's cover, since Jack wouldn't respond to the torture. Since it actually worked on Jack, I guess he figured maybe it would work on Fayed.

This is found in the ten minute prelude to season 6 that is on the last disc of the season 5 dvds.

Exactly! It had us fooled until Jack and Ricky Schroder (Christ why put a child-star into an action role) woke up.

My problem, though, is that unless this idea was already in the works earlier than the episode it was used and maybe even the episode before it, I don't think the amount of time allows them to set one up that successfully.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I must say Cheng Zhi is beggining to take his place as "The 24 bad guy".

He is persistend in trying to make Jack suffer. I don't know the reason but I'm guessing this will end in blood. Cause Jack is awesome and he's going to eventually kill him in some awesome way.

This week's episode was memorable for two things:

-Jack killing all those bad guys
-Jack making a phone call from under a garbage truck.

Simply awesome...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I enjoyed this weeks episode, thought the wayne palmer bit was obvious though.
So the nuke story isnt completely over, but this plot is much more interesting than islamic terrorists. I'm praying for the ultimate showdown between Jack & Cheng Zhi!!

FELIPE NO

I expected it too, but thought it played out really well.

I've read spoilers for the season finale, and it looks like it's going to be quite a shock. It should hopefully set up the next season as something a bit 'different'.

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

Wow! Loved the music that was played when he pointed the gun at Doyle inside the car ^^

Jam it back in, in the dark.

yeh i noticed that too, best music i've heard so far in the series.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I didn't notice the music =( 24's BGM is often too silent or unnoticeable for me at times so I don't pick up on it typically when it plays. Now I feel disappointed that I didn't hear the tune.
