Astro101 Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 Heh, yea I'm still thinking about last night. Great ep las night...my stupid local reviewer said these eps after the hiatus sucked. Shows what he knows.
BlackFlagg Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 They did technically give the silent countdown to Mason, if you remember when he promotes Tony to leader of CTU and walks out of the office(for what seemed to be his final scene, but of course he reappeared), the silent clock was used then. really? hmm...I need to rewatch my season 2 DVD...to bad I let a friend borrow it, bleh
The Tino Standard Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 I think that ending last night left me in stunned silence more than anything... I mean, with Jack Bauer, shit like that just doesn't happen. He always pulls something out of his ass to save the day. To just say "Sorry, Ryan." and then BANG... wow... just wow. BTW, I think Chappelle's fate was pretty much sealed when he OK'd the suicide pills. One more heroic deed before dying, like Mason last year.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 Whew. Thank you FX. Showing encore of it tonight at 11 and tomorrow at 6. !
Dangerous A Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Guess its bad luck to be Jack's boss. First Mason, now Chapelle. I get the dreadful feeling Michelle may still get off'd, but I can hope against this. I think she's a hottie and there aren't enough of them on this show regularly except Kim, and her dimbulbness makes her less attractive. I can see Jack and Michelle potentially going into a season 4 all fucked up with Jack having Chapelle hanging over his head along with all the other shit and Michelle having the hotel incident and Gael hanging over her head.
BlackFlagg Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 I think Michelle's gonna survive....way to much time has passed for her not to be showing symptoms if she's infected.
Dangerous A Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 I hope so, but I get the grim feeling she'll show symptoms or something in the last or second to last episode so that they continue with the traditional "in the end, things turned out alright except..." ending. Perhaps she'll end up living, but the trauma of watching all the people suffer and die will make her quit CTU in the end.
El Gigante Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Right now it seems as Michelle will survive, but in the world of 24 you never know who will live and who will die in the end. It just makes the episodes that much more unpredictable.

Perhaps she'll end up living, but the trauma of watching all the people suffer and die will make her quit CTU in the end. If she shows any symptoms, she's finished. They established a 100 percent mortality rate with the virus. Then again, they could have her completely escape the wrath of the virus, get out of the hotel at the end, only to get picked off by a sniper as the season finale goes off the air. You just never know with this show.
BlackFlagg Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 on another note, will they get to this guy that got out of the hotel before he can spread it? He was about to leave to go to work so unless they catch him before he leaves he's gonna end up spreading it to the building he works in...
Astro101 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 So the dude's wife believed that he had a meeting that went all the way to 7 in the morning and still has to go to work minutes after he got home?

OldSchoolWrestling Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 I think Michelle is going to survive and then in the last episode find out she's pregnant.
Guest T®ITEC Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Zombie baby! Yes! The virus should've turned people into zombies, like in Resident Evil. I know it would be ridiculous, but classic nonetheless.
Guest Evolution Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Very depressing, but very good episode. They're throwing Kim back into the storyline, but at least it's the main storyline, so I'm all gravy for that, and tension between Tony and Jack is always good too. The season 2 ending countdown was actually a bit more creepier than the silent ones, because it was just Palmer's staggered breathing over the final three seconds, and by that time everyone who had watched the season the whole way through was probably freaking out. After all that Tony has been through, it will be cruel of the writers to get rid of Michelle. Especially after that phone conversation with Michelle. I really liked how Chappelle wanted to kill himself, but then he couldn't do it. It seemed very real just how hard it was to take his own life under these circumstances. Anyway, tonight's episode looks to be good. Like I said, whether or not Kim being weaved back into the main storyline being a good thing remains to be seen, and this hotel escapist guy seems like a real douchebag. "Client meeting," now a "staff meeting." Looks like he had a gangbang planned before he got the virus. Anyway, I really hope that they get Saunders before the end of this season, because I just want to see the fucker get destroyed like the Drazen (Dennis Hopper) in season 1. Watching that old couple walk up to the table to get those suicide pills was heart-wrenching, and of course Saunders being the cocky fuck that he is. Mega heel heat.
JoeDirt Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 I like how this season is picking up steam late unlike last year, where I thought the shows were a lot worse after the bomb went off. Can't believe Chappelle died! I had to laugh when he said he didn't have any friends or family he wanted to talk to before he died. Poor Chappelle.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Anyway, I really hope that they get Saunders before the end of this season, because I just want to see the fucker get destroyed like the Drazen (Dennis Hopper) in season 1. See, I don't hate Saunders as much as I hated Drazen in season 1. Saunders was, according to Jack, a "good soldier" who was left behind by the US government and tortured. He has sympathy. Drazen was a genocidal maniac on Kosovo, which leaves me no sympathy.
JoeDirt Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 I'm going to go out on a limb and say Kim dies before the end of the season. It's a long shot, but I think they'll make her go out looking heroic.
BlackFlagg Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 Another great episode....and the end of the preview for next weeks, damn
Guest Evolution Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 Hmm. Well, this episode seemed like one recharging the storylines for the home stretch after the big death of Chappelle. Not necessarily good, but necessary. Jack is always awesome in the interrogation room, and it'll only get better as next week's episode looks to be very, very good.
Astro101 Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 24 swerved me again! I thought for sure Kim was gonna get kidnapped.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 I can't believe she actually did something worthwhile. She like, knocked the gun out of the dude's hand and DIDN'T DIE! Well, snap. And I agree, this was a transitional show where they had to set things up. It had me compelled though, so it wasn't a complete waste. Not even close to as good as last week, but still solid.
El Gigante Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 Good episode as always. At the end I actually thought that it was going to be Kim who got shot with her luck, but they got me and she shot the other guy. Next week should be where it all picks up again, with the virus on the loose and Saunders getting closer to being found.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 Great show. Elisha did a very good job tonight too. WOO~!
JoeDirt Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 I expected Kim to get taken, too, since CTU always botches shit up like that. Next week looks pretty cool. A game of chicken with the virus and Saunders' daughter. Very nice...
Mole Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 I actually thought that she was the one who got shot. And I was screaming at the TV "The guy in the red isn't the guy looking after Saunder's daughter!" Just like last week, I knew that Chase wasn't in the right place looking for Saunders. I think things are getting too predictable.
starvenger Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 I expected Kim to get taken, too, since CTU always botches shit up like that. Next week looks pretty cool. A game of chicken with the virus and Saunders' daughter. Very nice... Yeah. Kim + CTU's track record of undercover agents not named Jack Bauer + a few hours to kill = a good chance of something bad happening. And I guess that Jack is gonna tell Saunders to FOAD, more or less, now that he has the great equalizer in Saunders' daughter. And I was screaming at the TV "The guy in the red isn't the guy looking after Saunder's daughter!" Eh, he could have been. I mean, you'd figure that Saunders might have more than one operative there, right? At worst, they should make a note of the guy, who seemed a bit too interested in a kid for a guy seemingly in his 40s...
