I think President Logan is a study in
a) be very aware of the Veep candidate in an election....he really is just a heartbeat or terrorist attack away from the number 1 chair
b) don't elect an indecisive jellyfish.
Heh! I rag on Logan because his character irks me.
If there's a political lesson to be applied from this show... that's it.
Some of these decisions are tough! But the leader's got to have a strong enough backbone and vision that he can make a hard call and stick with it. "Damage control" is not enough of a philosophy.
Sutherland won't leave 24 until the series ends and it will run at least one more year after this one. Sutherland and the producers have stated that Fox will not allow them to kill of Jack until the series ends. In fact, Sutherland has said he wants Jack to die in the last episode while saving the country one last time.
I think it's going to air Monday nights before 24 at 8pm EST. If so we can just piggy-back Prison Break on this thread :) I agree, it's a great show!
I bought two of Season 1 today at Target for each son-in-law. Birthdays coming up...
I've heard him say things like that too, but I think he's just trying to keep interest in the show as high as possible.
If he did leave, that would be the end of the show, IMO.
Terrorists should know better than to blow Jack up. If he loses a part, he'll just grow another one and the part forms a second Jack.
This is agaisnt the interest of terrorist IMO
They wanted to show him all the street people that 4 decades of the Great Society has produced.
What channel carries the Sunday Night replay, A&E?
The same channel that the original show is on - Fox.
And, I just got off the phone with a friend this very minute who told me that Fox.com/24 has an excellent, detailed breakdown of each show.
The one we missed is the 4-5:00 "24" hour.
Also for constipation since he goes for more than 24 hours without going to the bathroom all the time.
The movie is but kiefer had a minimal roll but it was a jack moment.
My point was she simply hoped that her husband would turn the motorcade around simply because she got in the car.
But she didn't NEED her husband to do anything. She could have simply told the Russian President that she suddenly felt ill. They would have turned off to a hospital, and saved everybody.
She didn't have the guts to completely go against her husband, so she took a passive/agressive approach and hoped that her husband would react appropriately.
When he didn't, she was willing to sit quietly in the limosine and let her guests be murdered. Sure she was going to be murdered as well -- which led me to my conclusion that she felt that so long as she died with them, she had done everything she could do, but she was NOT going to open her mouth and warn them.
NOW, as it turns out it was fortunate she kept quiet. If she HAD told them, then when they were rescued anyway we would have probably had a world war on our hands (what else would you get when your president orders the assassination of a foreign country's president on your soil?
Which is why I couldn't believe this particular plot point. Even if the President was stupid enough not to realise that the terrorists would reveal how they got the information on the motorcade, the other guy MUST have known that, and should have told the president that if he went along with the terrorists, russia would end up at war with the United States, which would kill MILLIONS of americans and it would be his fault.
At least with the gas he could blame the terrorists. And the american people would understand that he couldn't cooperate with the terrorists.
Of course, if he's a republican president the democrats would blame him for the poison gas attack, without explaining how to avoid it, but that's another story.
KIEFER SUTHERLAND can be seen in the upcoming political suspense thriller, 'The SENTINEL,' which is based on the novel by former Secret Service Agent, Gerald Petievich. The film also stars Michael Douglas, Eva Longoria and Kim Basinger. The film is scheduled to be released on April 21st, 2006.
