Day 5, 8:00-9:00 PM **SPOILERS**

[neglet]

Henderson is on the loose ... and in the last hour Jack has seen the deaths of Edgar, Lynn, and (I can't bear the thought:( :( :( ) Hot Tony. <sob!>

Now is the time for Jack to go all primeval on the terrorists! Bring out the industrial strength can of whupass! Finally break out that lavender chiffon gown and matching pumps!

Well, maybe not that last one ... but wouldn't that be a hell of a twist for the end of the season?????

Discuss tonight's episode below.

[Penfold]

Don't forget that George Mason has mysteriously risen from the dead and has single-handedly made it to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament.

[TrixieB]

Theo was Desmond from "Lost"!!

I just knew Wayne was a goner. Even though he lived, it's still the highest body count of any season so far.

And how much do we LOVE Chloe??? She just rocks!

[Penfold]

SO.

Audrey Raines is looking evil. I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for this, especially since she's the one who told Bill about the prostitute/terrorist in the first place. But still, Jack is going to be mad. I can't wait to see if he's going to torture her.

The VP is evil incarnate. Going after Wayne is just the first step in what's going to be a reign of terror...and I'm pretty sure Martha is right about his power play.

Let's see, what else...I really liked Jack's line about "Maybe you should be more concerned about what YOU would do in MY position." He's just ticking off countries left and right...first China, now Germany. World War III will be the world vs. Jack Bauer.

[CaptPike]

Audrey? The innocent doe-eyed, Audrey?

Perhaps back when they were torturing her brother.....it was really HER all along they needed to rat out! This leads to a lesbian relationship with Collette.....but I digress.....

At any rate, maybe it wasn't her tree hugging hippie pinko brother at all!! You go Audrey! You had us all fooled.. Better get daddy back into the picture, to help straighten things out.

I'm interested in what Wayne Palmer has. If David Palmer knew all sorts of things about today, why the heck was he so silent? Why only tell the First Lady?

[DarkJedi]

I've been asking all year long.

"Where did Desmond run off to?"

Now, I know.


I really loved how Jack put the Homeland witch in her place at the end. That commercial break was too long between the time his List self imploded and the time he reported back to CTU.

I was half expecting him to explode on her. "Look lady, I'm here involved in this mess because President Logan asked me to be here. My friends are dead. Do you think I give a **** about your review crap?"

The musical background from the writers as he caught her and Theo learned he wasn't getting the list as well as this version was so much better.

I can't wait to see if Wayne gets to Aaron before the killers do and I'd like to know if the "Jack Picks a Decent Girl Curse" continues with Audrey. The guy has terrible luck in that department.

Oh....and no deaths this episode. Truly surprising writers.....


Robo Cop Must Die!!!!

[Strider]

Whew! I'm finally caught up, and what a ride it has been the last few weeks! Few roller coasters could achieve as many ups, downs, twists and turns as 24 has been throwing at us each and every week. :D

[neglet]

Oh, what a mighty fine episode. First, I'm glad to see someone on the run being chased by crazy bad guys--that's always fun when they throw that in there. It's even more fun that Wayne is the guy being chased, because if he gets caught we don't know what secret he discovered! Oooo, the tension! Aaron will probably save him, although I begin to fear for Aaron's survival, as almost every other character from season one has now died. (Except stupid Kim. Damn, where are the cougars when you need them?)

So, has Audrey been bought by the bad guys, and at what price? Actually, I think she's being set up; if the plotters knew enough to frame Jack for the Palmer assassination, they would know of Audrey's connection to Jack. Still, he's going to have to interrogate her, and that is going to mess up any chance of reconciliation between the two. I'm sure Daddy will come into it someplace, mainly because William DeVane is definitely appearing on the show this season. I saw it in an interview with Ray Wise (playing the veep).

I wonder how quickly they resolve this plot point ... if it's not next hour, it will be hard for Jack to stop the big attack in time.

[Asonokirk V 2.0]

Well, at least writers are starting to get creative. Audrey as villain? Inspired. The German agent and Collette? A cool twist. It leaves one with a sense of "I have no idea what is going to happen next" which is what great writing is really all about.

[syphon2006]

Kim
Jack
Aaron
Mike

I think those are the only one's that remain. Even though Kim was absent a season.

[DarkJedi]

Was Mike in Day 1? Don't remember him.

[Penfold]

Yes, Mike was in Day One. He was Palmer's chief advisor. Had to be the mediator in the Palmer's domestic difficulties. He got fired on Day Two, popped up again on Day Four as Logan's advisor.
