Jack's Back

[texasbluebell]

Very cute dress on her, just caught the last moments.

[Rca2000]

You are speaking of the episode "did you see the sunrise", IIRC, and I always wondered, HOW did Magnum get away with that? I( was an avid Magnum fan, I was in my teens, when it was on, and was 20, when it went off the air.

As for the posts regarding Audrey's reaction to her husband dying, at Jack's hands, --Yes-- I guess I did kinda forget, that she had been banging Jack, just a few hours before. That does put a slightly different spin on things, doesn't it??

[CharlesWayneCT]

They have the hospital so they have a good place for people to die. Which gives you the punch line to a joke: Where are the two least safe places in LA?

1) The CTU Hospital
2) Next to Jack Bauer

And now we see why Tony shouldn't work at CTU. He is given sole operational control for a black-ops off-book operation, and he blabs to the first person who questions him about it. They didn't even need to torture him. Next everybody will be photocopying the top-secret immunity order from the President.

I hate to keep complaining about travel times, but Jack and Co. got TO the chinese consulate quicker than they got back -- odd since they were in a bit more of a hurry on the way back.

I know Audrey is especially mad at Jack because he interfered with the operation and her hubby died, but if he had died or been permanently disabled wouldn't she still have been mad at him for letting him stand next to him on a mission?

Didn't Paul have to die because Jack's only allowed one survivor per season, and we need the nuclear scientist guy?

Seriously, how many people is that for Jack, Six? (first partner, guy at the helicopter, second partner, mother, paul, guy with him at the power plant). Did I miss any? Did the guy at the power plant die (not the fake hippie, the guy outside with Jack).

Yes, he was gunned down early in the gunfight.

Uh, don't you know the rules? Where are the pictures? :)

No... she still has feelings for her ex. They don't go away simply because you dissolve a marriage. No body can turn off what you had with someone on a dime. She's deeply conflicted. You can't blame Audrey... she's a woman and women act on their feelings. That's why she hates Bauer for what he did. In the simplest terms, it was a case of triage. In Jack's shoes, I'd have done exactly the same thing. One life versus millions of lives? A tough, gut-wrenching call but in my book, the right one.

The joke on 24 is no one wants to go out with Jack Bauer on a mission because odds are good they won't make it back. At least the characters not indispensable to the continued storyline of the show.

In the desert there were choppers in the air and when the MUSLIM jeep that that didn't have the hard drive in it rolled, the other one just drove away when the chopper could have seen them for miles - oh well.

That one makes no sense.

Then when Marwaan slipped into the tunnel under the disco.."Damn, he got away!" No one even thought to ask, "Where does that tunnel go?"

Actually, they did have a line that mentioned that the tunnel went to so many possible exits that they couldn't hold a perimeter.

I still can't figure out why they have a hospital in the CTU HQ

They had one in La Femme Nikita, to care for the operatives esp. when they came back from their covert missions. It provided safe, even long term care for wounded operatives, out of the sight of prying eyes and normal authority structures. And the producers of "24" also produced LFN, so I'm seeing some similarities between the two operations. In LFN, they called CTU "Section One".

Magnum was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Tom Selleck was sure nice to look at too. The only role he has ever played that I didn't like was when he was the gay reporter. Can't remember the movie title but I hated it.

[warsaw44]

'gay reporter'

Yikes. Glad I missed that one! Did you see the movie he stared in as a wrongfully convicted man in prison? It came out years ago and was very good.

Plus about 12 hours ago he saved her dang life AND her father's (who has totally disappeared, where the heck is he?)

[altura]

But he (Tom Selleck) was still the best actor in the show.

I think ... surely I could persuade him not to be gay????
