(not having to do with the season finale)



Seriously, the way this season has been going how many friggin' plan B's can they have? And why is it that plan double Q is probably a lot worse than their initial plan? I wouldn't be surprised if the
nuke
was just a distraction... so that the terrorists can resurrect Nina Myers.

HAHA

That's going to be the movie. Jack vs. Zombie Nina.

I actually would not be surprised to see them bring Sarah Clarke back....

as Nina's twin sister out for revenge! OMGWTFBBQ!

Zombie Mina would be better. She'd fight Jack on a speed boat that jumps over a shark! :lol

:lol :lol That'd be the perfect way to wrap up the series. Zombie Nina jumping the shark and while she's in the air the clock will pop up and tick away at the last seconds.

Edit: Holy crap I just IMDB'd Sarah Clarke. I did not know she was married to the guy who played George Mason in seasons 1 and 2.

Then I IMDB'd George Mason (or rather the actor who plays him) and he was the guy who played John Connor's foster father in T2: Judgement Day and the cheating husband in Candyman. Damn. I've seen those movies dozens of times and I never once made the connection. That guy is damn good at blending into his roles.

Another thing that my brother pointed out:

Did one of those Chinese consolate guys look familiar? Well he played Delivery Boy Ping on Seinfeld! :lol :lol :lol

I tried to search for his image, but wasn't able to locate any!

I'm with Hollywood. It's frustrating as hell. Mana, I don't even see why you have to bring up info about the season finale.


Agreed. Please stop with the season finale spoilers.

Let's leave the spoiler tags to previews, etc.

Are some of you actually complaining about the spoiler tags? Give me a fucking break. Just get the hell out of the thread. Jesus. I'm glad people are posting some of this stuff, b/c I wouldn't read it any other way. I don't really care if I know what happens, the execution of the plot is what matters to me. Most of us know what's coming before it happens anyway. Tonight's ep ended brilliantly. Marwan's the fucking man. He's easily better than Nina in the villain category IMO. I mean, this guy is more hooked up than 007. No one has devised such a diabolical plan in one day. I mean, he steals the nuclear plant control with a train wreck, causes one or two near-meltdowns with radioactive materials released, stole a stealth fighter, shot down Air Force 1 with the president in it, just to steal the football, and now this. Un-fucking-believable. The man deserves a pat on the back for pure, unadulterated evil. Setting the bar...high, for a change. The writers are gonna have a hell of a time beating him IMO. PEACE.

Nina > Marwan

Marwan is evil.
Nina is an evil bitch. :)

Another excellent episode. I'm guessing the stuff with the Chinese is gonna blow up *big*. Stupid, stupid Edgar LOL.

Oh and the preview = :O Holy snot!!

I want to know if the missle was plan B. If CTU had never stopped the nuke plants from melting down, then I'd think this was over kill.

You guys have got it all wrong. Nina's coming back as a cyborg!

And she and Jack will fisticuffs in her secret Arctic base as she's about to melt the polar icecaps with her death ray.
 
JC10001 said:
Hmm....

There are only two hours left and we still have a nuke and the Chinese government to deal with plus I'm sure there will be one more big twist at the end. Its looking more and more like the rumors might be true and that the season will not end at the 24hr mark.

CLIFFHANGER GET!
But...
can people really stay awake for 48 hours? If this goes into another day, would Jack have to take a break for 6-hour nap or something? Heh, I dunno, just thought I'd mention it.

My guess as to what happens:

We stop the nuke, Jack gets found out and turned over to the Chinese, and the next season follows up with the next day, where there will be the fallout from the terrorist activites and Tony and Palmer died from Mandy or something. There we go.

Now that's what I'd want to see, really. I keep waiting for someone to go to bed or take a piss.

Who's Mandy?

DrForester said:
who's mandy?

She is the chick from Season 1 who destroyed the 747, and also came back in the finali of Season 2 and made the unresolved attack on Palmer.

That said, FUCK this episode rocked, and I can't belive you guys missed this!! Marwan PLANED CTU's 'attack' on the Chinese, he hired that guy KNOWING CTU would find the trail, and as a result the cionsolar would be killed during the attack...

:lol, Ok maybe not.

Man, Marwan is so dead now that Jack has him.

NO, THEY CANT kill off Tony and Palmer

First time I think I ever laughed while watching 24...

Chloe says to Jack "wow, that is gonna be weird... having to talk to your girlfriend after killing the husband. If you ever need to talk to someone"

and Jack turns and looks at her like "are you fucking kidding me?"

I think it was meant as a joke... anyone else laugh at that? The wife and I laughed out loud... good stuff...

Hah, yeah. "Don't worry, our network was protected by CISCO SYSTEMS SECURITY!11 <cue eye gleam>

And less we forget, terrorists only use Alienware systems. I'm not sure if that's the kind of advertising they really want...

See what happened on the first tactical mission Castle wasn't involved with?

Im telling ya, Castle has been the main problem all along.





Im guessing the Chinese will accept Palmers scenario publically, so they can avoid war and have an excuse to strike back at the terrorist group. And privately order Bauer to be killed.


With the finale timing out much like season 2, but with Jack dying instead.

Was i the only one cheering out loud when Jack got Marwan?
Great stuff!

Yeah, I was pretty happy when it happened, especially since I was thinking "alright, let's see how he manages to narrowly get away yet again"...

People complaining about spoilers being put in spoiler tags = retarded.

C'mon, people can post whatever they want, as long as it's tagged, and people are doing that, so quit yer bitchin'.

Exactly how long do they have before that missile hits? Even the slowest of missiles must go hundreds of miles an hour. So they have what, an hour or so before it hits LA? Because of course, it has to hit LA, everything bad happens in LA.

This is a very stupid question but there is no way this missle could reach China or anything right? Only targets within the US?

I think it would be pretty devastating if they(Marwan) really wanted to provoke China into a War.... if that makes any sense.

The missle isn't headed for China. It would only make sense for him to shoot it there if he knew that relations between the US and China were reaching a boiling point. His plans have been set in stone for months/years. How would Marwan know ahead of time that the Chinese consulate would be accidentally killed in a raid by Jack's team? He wouldn't.

The missle is headed for somewhere in the US. Remember... they moved the launch up an hour and the guy complained that people wouldn't be at work yet so we are dealing with some part of North America and it aint Canada or Mexico.

They've got to have a matter of minutes. The slowest missles still go supersonic AFAIK. Look at the dinky control surfaces. My guess is next week the thing blows up. And it's gonna be an airburst, not a ground impact. A ground impact with a nuke is a total waste. Weapons of that magnitude are designed to explode in the air and flatten everything below it. And if the writers make this some ridiculous hour-long affair, then I'll lose a lot of faith in them. That would be just so lame. Personally, I love the drama caused by tragedy. And CTU certainly can't foil all of Marwan's plans, so this nuke going off would be kinda like Sum Of All Fears. It'll be a precursor to a much, MUCH larger storyline. Getting the Chinese involved gives me hopes of something like Clancy's The Dragon and The Bear. It could rock.

Oh yeah, what're the odds on Chloe and Jack hooking up? She so wants it. PEACE.

The preview for next week made it seem like they would have an extended period of time before the missile got there. Much more than 10-15 minutes. Funny how anyone on the show can warp accross town in a matter of seconds but a super-sonic missile could take an hour+ to get accross the country.

They must've used hacked PS2s to guide the missile. Silly terrorists, a modded X-Box is where it's at, yo. LOLBBQSANDWICH.

Keep in mind that the missile could still be shot down. A nuke works by having a sequence of precisely timed smaller explosions that then send the uranium core into critical mass. If you shoot it down, the detonation sequence gets screwed up and your damage is pretty minimal.

Edgar is the type of person who you can't think on his feet and who you can't trust to be able handle tricky situations without handholding. Geez, what an idiot....

And Chloe making a move on Jack. After she capped that guy and "didn't feel anything" I guess she decided she needed to hook up with someone as cold blooded as herself.


I am getting worried, are they going to keep with their tradition of having at least one Season One original character die?

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR NEXT EP.

The rumour is, Richard Heller's girlfriend turns out to be Mandy and Tony does die in the next episode, maybe trying to arrest her.
