The OFFICIAL weekly "24" Season 5 Live thread!

FOX 24 ^ | 1-15-06 | Jack Bauer

[Tribune7]

That wasn't Bierko. That was Robocop.

Robocop is like Jack -- the laws of nature don't apply. How do you think he escaped from CTU after torture? Have you seen him have to use the bathroom?

[calljack]

Jumped the shark with Logan.
If it is Logan then why did his chief of staff off himself?
That makes not a lot of sense.
I suppose they will sort it all out but I don't like it much.

[hummingbird]

On the phone with Evelyn, Henderson wanted to know why Wayne Palmer was at the Presidential retreat. The list of who knew that is short. V.P., Pierce, Audrey and Chloe ...???

The guards at the gate and the guys trying to pick him off before Aaron got there.

Could Wayne have told anyone else he was going to be there?

[hummingbird]

If Fox changes their mind, IMHO the only person who might get to kill Logan would be Martha.

Logan could have an unfortunate illness or accident. Stroke, heart attack, Jack Bauer attack that is disguised as something else....

[ZGuy]

Oh Geez. At least I didn't ask how Ramon got away! Either way, we've still got Henderson driving away during the curfew unimpeded. (A curfew which should be dropped now, I suppose, since there is no longer a Sentox threat)

[hummingbird]

That only leaves one person -- Chloe.

Oh, man, that would truly s*ck...

[hummingbird]

Bummer.... I've only watched twice and love chloe.

She had you with that first glare....

Chloe is not really a "you had me at hello" type of girl!

[calljack]

That wouldn't jump the shark.
That would send the shark jumping over the moon.

[hummingbird]

That wouldn't jump the shark. That would send the shark jumping over the moon.

LOL...we don't want shark jumping!!!

[bert]

Regarding Chloe, think of the movie 9 to 5. Iris I think she was.

Good women bureaucrats make the world go round. They slave at their tasks with fntastic dedication and keep the wheels turning.

I have tremendous admiration for such dedicated individuals.

[pbear8]

Either way, we've still got Henderson driving away during the curfew unimpeded. (A curfew which should be dropped now, I suppose, since there is no longer a Sentox threat)

But FLOTUS said to Evelyn right before she left, "Do you have your credentials, there's still a curfew".

[hummingbird]

Jane Fonda .... Judy Bernly
Lily Tomlin .... Violet Newstead
Dolly Parton .... Doralee Rhodes

I love certain parts of 9 to 5, ESPECIALLY the parts where the women run circles around Dabney Coleman! "Doralee Rhodes" was a riot!

I have no doubt that Chloe and Audrey, as a team, could either do a lot of damage or save a lot of hineys. I hope they go with saving hineys.

[hummingbird]

I'll be watching for that to play out...

I am so tempted to look at the spoiler sites and am trying very hard to contain myself! We need more two-hour Monday nights!!!

[COEXERJ145]

Chloe isn't a mole. I explained in 11,119 how someone found out that Jack was alive.

[COEXERJ145]

Martial Law is still in effect because Logan's hadn't canceled it. And he isn't going to since it would make it easier for Jack to move around.

As for Henderson. He most likely has all the credentials he needs to get past any road block.

[hummingbird]

Hi, COEXERJ145...I remember your post and somewhere in the back of my head, ever since your post, my brain is trying to figure out, from what I've seen and heard, who are the good guys for sure and the bad guys for sure and who can be turned either way.

I'm going back to your post to refresh my brain!

Are we sure David Palmer is truly dead? I'm not saying he is a person I suspect; it is just another issue I'd like seen cleared up once and for all.

[COEXERJ145]

Yeah, I'd say Palmer is dead along with Tony & Michelle. The Powers That Be have said so on numerous occasions and 24 isn't like Star Trek where there are always ways to bring people back from the dead. Dennis Haysbert has publicly criticized the writers for "killing the first black President". I doubt there will be any love lost between them.

[evad]

Are we sure David Palmer is truly dead?

Interesting observation that would provide a great twist for later on but I think he is most likely dead and gonna stay dead.

What's interesting is that if you look at the profiles on the 24 website they list Tony and Edgar as DECEASED but no reference to David Palmer....hmmmmmmmm?

[COEXERJ145]

Palmer wasn't a main character this season. They don't go back and update characters for previous seasons as dead. Look at Tony and Michelle in Season 4. Neither are listed as dead even though they both are and Tony is listed as dead in Season 5.
