Hate that I missed this epidsode!!!!!
Me too:)
I don't like this week between episodes, I liked watching them on DVD's better, but there is no way I can NOT watch till it comes out on DVD.
That's what my daughter does. She is just now getting started on last season.

We thought about waiting till it was over, DVR them and watch them at the end.
...Though about it for about 2 minutes :~D
As a Southern California resident, I would say, probably most of them. Unless you have an all electrical house, you use it for heating and cooking.
LOL

No way David Palmer is alive. Remember when Jack first visited after Palmer's assassination and he was trying to see what Palmer was writing on his computer. They thought he may have been encoding something while writng his memoirs or whatever.
My guess is Wayne figured something out that David left behind.
I just don't want it to be Aaron.
No way. Aaron is a rock. He's not dirty.

OK, thanks. I thought most houses were electric, since there's no actual winter. Usage would need to be high to for the infrastructure to be worth its while. I could see commercial use.
SD
Oh, I really don't think David is alive, it was something someone mentioned way back at the start of the season. I've just been hoping it might turn out to be true:)
Hi Dave:)

i actually expect Jack to retire peacefully at the end of the last 24 show. why not? what would be the payoff in killing him? but i am an optimistic person for the most part.
Since Kiefer is a producer on the show, it means Jack will probably die in the last episode of either this season or next.
ok, i can see that kind of reasoning. i was only reflecting my own take about what I would want. it is funy the kinds of things that an actor has to think about.
Everyone expects Jack to die sooner or later so when it happens no one is going to be surprised.
Heck, with Michelle, Tony, and Palmer dead, that means there is no one left with ties to Seasons 1 or 2 except for Jack and Aaron.
Kiefer has said he thinks the show will survive without Jack but I don't think he realizes that it probably won't.
I love this thread! I missed 24 last night. Couldn't be helped! I couldn't wait for the baby to nap today so I could come here and catch up on Jack! You guys are all so awesome in your reactions to what happened! I felt like I was watching it! :o) Still, don't want to miss another one!
It actually is very interesting in that this is the essence of 24 and the heart of its appeal. The genius of the show is that we all know that the script will not take the usual routes that are on conventional TV and that it will surprise us, happily. The way it had the DOD chief slap down his son's empty anti-war rhetoric, "stop it with your 6th grade ideas" and the way Kate Warner' sister's rabid anti-americanism was portrayed out in its stark and empty finality. We saw it again with the sexual harrassment babe last night.
Contemporary media will not allow these portrayals onto the screen, but 24 puts them out there for us, out of the closet. The female leader who is destroyed by her stressed out family situation which will not stay at home[the CTU director last season whose daughter was a druggie who needed Mommy].
My first impression of 24 after watching only a short tome in season 4 was that this show was different and it would not fear to follow a character to his or her depths regardless of the identity politics platitude that was offended in the process.
All this is epitomized in Jack. He is like Keifer, exquiitively sensitive, yet in his skin so passionate about his mission that he will not stop at anything in order to do the right thing. The conviction of his rightnees always trumps the political correctness for Jack. He is actually not a single minded bully or zealot. He has a moral sense that is tested over and over and despite there being a lot of the comic book in his ultimate invincibility and coming out right in the end, it does serve as a tonic for the rest of us to see simple virtue represented as successful in at least one TV show.
In this sense, I do not see Jack as dying when the show "dies". That would be the wrong depiction of this character. He really should be immortal in the sense of surviving the last show so that he would be around in everyone's mental image and thereby available to be called upon, "one more time" when he is needed once again.
IN THE PARAGRAPH:
My first impression of 24 after watching only a short tome in season 4 was that this show was different and it would not fear to follow a character to his or her depths regardless of the identity politics platitude that was offended in the process.
IT REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN :
My first impression of 24 after watching only a short TIME in season 4 was that this show was different and it would not fear to follow a character to his or her depths regardless of the identity politics platitude that was offended in the process.
TYPING IS NOT MY STRONG SUIT.
I must say that I think Audrey is elegant looking and I've liked her this year.
She doesn't look like every little put nosed pinup in Hollywood, but that's all good with me.
"Chloe's not sympathetic."
It's not easy to get sympathy from Chloe. That's why I love her.
"I already knew Audrey wasn't going to get taken out since she is in the Fox description for next week's episode."
So,.,,, we're cheating now???
Tony was listed being in the episode after the nerve gas attack but of course all we saw was his body. This, and the lack of a silent clock, was done to make every keep guessing as to whether or not he was still alive.
