24: Season 5 (Spoilers!!!)

[Chaplin]

Did anyone realize that the final few minutes of the show last night was probably the only time in the entire series run that real-time didn't apply?

 

[D-Dogg]

Nice catch Chap...didn't even think about it.

They play loose with that from time to time, but never THAT loose.

Yeah, I noticed...they always seem to do that...

 

[boisesuns]

Well, we just had The Hunt For Red Octobauer.

Better than Kimdependance day I guess

 

[Chaplin]

Yeah, I noticed...they always seem to do that...

Example?

Two moments that happen off the top of my head at seasons conclusion:

1) David Palmer gets poisoned by the lesbian hottie.

2) Jack Bauer heads off into the sunset after faking his death.

Both of those, while not completely real-time, are nowhere near being at an airfield one minute, then three minutes later in the middle of the ocean on a freighter...

Yeah, but it still felt like they tossed the timeline out anyways...

It doesn't bother me...I've changed my attitude with it...24 is good fun, they can't possibly make it so interesting, and exciting for 24 episodes and not go a little far..

I didn't say I had a problem with it. I was just pointing it out. I love the possibilities that can develop in this scenario. It's about time the show got out of Los Angeles!

i'm shocked that i'm going to say this, but i kinda thought the ending was a little lame. it was too obvious. you knew when logan and martha were having it out that he was indirectly confessing. and i'm sorry but how obvious was the trap when kim supposedly called. "jack, your daughter who you just mentioned won't ever talk to you, thus making you really, really sad is now on the phone to talk to you after magically finding out that you just saved the day just now from an enemy she didn't even know existed oh and you'll have to take the call inside this empty warehouse were no one else is." those few minutes felt like the end of a wayne's world movie. i wouldn't have been surprised if someone came over and said aerosmith was there to play a victory song for jack.

Wait, I was under the impression that Martha knew nothing of the secret recording device planted on ol' Pussface.

The call from Kim was very obviously a trap, but I was shocked when the Jacknappers removed their masks and revealed that they were Chinese.

No, I felt the same. My wife and I were laughing at it actually. As many calls as Jack has everyone send to his cell, but this time it's in a warehouse where none of them could possibly have known the number. I also knew right off that Logan was being bugged, I thought it was being broadcast to everyone outside though. My only surprise was that it was the Chinese which I was mad about all season that they were not involved. I thought it was the "people in the room", maybe it still is?

 

[jenna2891]

it would have been way cooler if jack was kidnapped and then that was the end, leaving us to speculate who the masked men were.

I agree

No, Martha didn't know...at least the show did not give that impression. You're right there.


I do wish they hadn't shown the Chineese at that ending...that would have made a fantastic premiere, because I was thinking it was the Illuminati that kidnapped him.

I did think it was a bit weak that he had a call inside the warehouse...just send it to his cell phone for God's sake...has Jack EVER used a land line in this show? I don't find it weird that Kim *would* be calling him though...we all say things to people we love that hurt them from time to time, and usually when we sit back after a few hours, we feel sad/guilty and give them a call. It's not inconceivable that Kim would be calling to apolgize...just not on a random warehouse phone.

My wife watched it, and I watched game seven. The next day I watched 24, and when it got to the masked men, my wife said, "You'll never guess who these guys are." I replied, "The Chinese." Her jaw dropped. She asked how I knew. I told her that's what the President meant when he told the illuminati on the phone that "Jack Bauer has been taken care of." The President let the Chinese know where Bauer was. They kidnap him and do whatever, and the President isn't implicated. Chinese happy with Prez, he gets rid of Bauer. Nice two for one.

Speculation: So maybe the Chinese get the ex-Prez for Bauer, or some such.

 

[abomb]

Wow, interesting stuff Yuma. I didnt think about Logan selling Jack out.

 

[CQ]

When Kim supposedly called, I actually was thinking that SHE had been kidnapped and it was a "Daddy save me!" phone call.

I actually just started watching this season and i've really liked the show. I've seen all the them from this season but only #1 from season one (which wasn't that great). Are the other seasons as good and worth renting?

I kind of picked up the general idea of what happened in previous seasons, but it was still confusing at times not knowing what had hapened previously.

totally worth it. i think seasons 2 and 3 might be my favorite, but i've loved them all.

"Producers for the hit Fox series "24" confirm they have been in talks with New York city officials about filming "some" of season six there reports TV Guide. "We are in conversations about shooting some stuff in New York for [next] season" says executive producer Joel Surnow.

While no plot details have been revealed, rumours have been swirling for a while that the show would commence someone in a major non-west coast city like Chicago or Washington with New York coming into the action in the second half of the season (a one hour flight time from those cities to NYC could easily fit into the narrative. Its expected that actors Gregory Itzin & Jean Smart (Charles & Martha Logan) will reprise their roles next year too.

This would be the first season of the show set outside the greater Los Angeles area, though the series has taken short trips before into Mexico and Nevada. Producers have also confirmed that, much like the second season's last minute cliffhanger, next season will skip ahead and likely bring up only in mention the cliffhanger the fifth season finished on."




i thought this last statement was kinda a bummer....i was hopeing that the escape/release would be a big storyline for next season.

My wife and I finally watched the last episode tonight. Only a month or so late. I thought Mike was recording it with his phone. I also thought Kim was kidnapped. I bet she will be by next season though, because if the Chinese want Jack working for them, they are going to need some motivation to get him to work. Other than that, I'm glad Mr. Prez got his, and still sad about "Edga sthtyles" as he would say. Good thing I will soon have football to take the place of 24.
