AlwaysPissedOff 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Man, this episode was fucking killer. I was sitting in the chair talking a buddy and said, "Man, Jack's kinda fucked here," and then the gunshots started and I went, "HOLY SHIT! IT'S FUCKING TONY!" On an unrelated note: I knew I shouldn't have looked at the preview for next week, in fact, I was turning around to watch the second half of RAW, but the preview popped up and I couldn't control myself, dammit...

Guest OSIcon Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Since I'm new to this, who's Tony? He was just another CTU agent in season one. Played by the rules and didn't care much for Jack. As the day went on, he realized the awesomeness of Jack Bauer and solidified himself as a face. In season 2, he is promoted to the head of CTU by the end of the day. He gets into a minor run in with Jack sometime during the day, but is the number three good guy behind Jack and President Palmer. In the third season he helps the terrorists escape at one point in order to keep his wife Michelle (or also works at CTU) save. He is relieved of his duties as head of CTU with warnings that he will be tried for treason and almost certainly sent to jail. Tony might be my favorite character on the show because his character has progressed better than any other, except probably Jack. He is different then Jack but they are both bad asses in their own ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chazz 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2005 How stupid was Berhootz and Dinah (I think that's her name) to tell The Doctor at The ER that her Gunshot wound was really a deep gash caused by her falling on a nail?!? A.) A Doctor can tell the difference between the 2, and B.), Of course he's going to call The Police about It regardless. They at least could've lied and said she was The victim of a drive by/hate crime. At least that particular lie Is much more plausible that the first one.

Stephen Joseph 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2005 All I gots to say is that Driscoll is in serious water by torturing 2 people now unwarrantedly (well, so far, we don't know what the Secretary's son knows, but still...) And Edgar, Edgar is the man. He's the computer desk jockey version of Bauer. Why? 1) Overrides the Override with about 95% efficiency. 2) Busts the mole I mean, who hired this guy?

starvenger 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2005 I mean, who hired this guy? Don't know, but in the previews they mentioned that they're now understaffed, what with Chloe gone, Aisha being found out, various dead field ops, and Julie(?) is probably a quivering puddle by now.

Stephen Joseph 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2005 From: Erin Driscoll, Special Agent in Charge, Los Angeles Domestic Unit, Counter-Terrorism Unit _____Free E-mail Newsletters_____ • Today's Headlines & Columnists See a Sample | Sign Up Now • Daily Politics News & Analysis See a Sample | Sign Up Now • Federal Insider See a Sample | Sign Up Now • Breaking News Alerts See a Sample | Sign Up Now To: All L.A. personnel Re: New civil-service rules I know you're all very busy at the moment, but I wanted to let you know about some important changes here at CTU. As you may know, our parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, will be the first in the federal government to implement a sweeping new personnel system. As announced in Washington by the Bush administration on Jan. 26, the new rules will overhaul the way 110,000 civil-service employees are paid, promoted, deployed and disciplined. How will these new rules affect CTU? Let me offer a preview: • Pay and pay raises. Under new guidelines, and because of the unpredictability of our jobs, the biweekly pay period has been scrapped. CTU employees will now be paid in increments of seconds. Wages will be direct-deposited to employee bank accounts every quarter-hour. Merit-pay opportunities will be reevaluated at the top of each hour, depending on your job performance in the preceding hour. • Hiring practices. As always, CTU is looking for individuals dedicated to our core mission: thwarting extremely complicated terrorist conspiracies masterminded by foreign nationals with heavy accents. Our hiring policies will not change. As always, our primary consideration for employment at CTU is a prior record of conflict/romantic involvement with senior CTU officers. We will continue to hire individuals to perform a variety of ill-defined jobs, with overlapping responsibilities designed to maximize interpersonal friction. We understand that many candidates have complicated personal lives that will frequently interfere with their work. This is acceptable if the candidate a) is willing to work a 24-hour shift without notice or complaint; b) harbors damaging information about other CTU employees that can be used as leverage in personnel disputes; and c) does not mind occasionally being taken hostage. • Discipline hearings/appeals: Disciplinary actions will continue mostly as they have in the past -- swift, secretive, and involving some kind of employee-on-employee torture -- in the auxiliary conference room next to the snack machines. Employee-directed executions of senior supervisory officers, as occurred last year, will continue to be permitted under certain circumstances. Please check with me for details. • Vehicle use: On the whole, we've done a lot better this year in terms of the upkeep and reliability of CTU's fleet of sedans, SUVs, motorcycles and aircraft. But it seems that every year we get a one- or two-day period in which many of our vehicles are wrecked, blown up or otherwise compromised. On days when our workload seems particularly intense (today, for example), I would ask employees to be especially vigilant about driver safety, not leaving cars unlocked, and avoiding, if possible, the transportation of injured or deceased (or otherwise bleeding) co-workers. Also, please avoid using your CTU vehicle as a shield during shootouts. Body work and windshield-repair costs have soared, with a negative long-term effect on our department-wide car insurance rates. • Internal security. As you all know, the work we do here at CTU is vital to national security and hence top-secret. However, various individuals, such as friends of CTU employees, children, former love interests and former CTU operatives who now work elsewhere (e.g., that glory hog Jack Bauer), will be permitted to wander unescorted throughout our facilities. Finally, some good news: The command structure at CTU will not be affected by the new regulations. As in the past, CTU employees in this office will be able to completely bypass and disregard our supervisors at Division with impunity. And all of us will continue to have the private cell number of the president of the United States, so we can get him on the phone whenever it suits us. I hope these guidelines are clear. If you have questions or complaints, please direct them to your representatives at the International Brotherhood of Counter-Terrorism Workers. Your shop steward is Chloe O'Brian.
