Re: Spoiler

Ooh - bartop - second part of that spoiler is a mighty fine point.

Audrey sure has changed a lot in a year and a half. After watching Jack torture Paul, she could barely look at Jack. Guess she was still adjusting to what Jack used to do rather than what he was doing at the DoD. Now, Jack interrogates the heck out of her (how crushing was Jack's look when Audrey kept insisting that she'd only met Walt Cummings on business occasions?) and slams her against a wall, and she still forgives him. Guess she understands him better now. His treatment of her during the interrogation made a lot more sense knowing that if he treated her lightly, they were going to chemically torture her. Of course, then they tortured her anyway. I actually liked her admission that she was getting through it by thinking of Jack. It shows how much her attitude about him has changed and that she understands him a lot more than she used to. I thought the whole make-up scene was sweet, but yeah a little sappy. Nice that Jack got a 2-minute break in his day though.

I liked the exploding gas containers at the end when Jack was running away from them, but that seemed much more conventional blow-em-up stuff than they usually do on "24", so that actually didn't ring as true for me as the numerous other action scenes.

I'm wondering about all these people who are doing what the bad guys are asking them to do, thinking they'll be ok afterward. Figure out a way to open this cannister because we can't or we'll kill you. OK, they've just said they can't do it - how can they then kill you if you don't do it? And you have zero idea what they're having you open or what they're going to do with it. And what happens after he cuts them all open for them? Boom, he's dead. Let us release this we-won't-tell-you-what-it-is gas into your system or we'll kill your friends. Umm, ok, they can't do it without you, and you're not even going to think for a minute what they're releasing into the system? I guess I'm wondering if everyone is really just on a "fend for yourself" mentality without thinking about what the bigger picture is. Did he think they were releasing happy gas into the system? So far, the only day player person to think about the bigger picture is the guard who was unlucky enough to be in the same room as Lynn. Maybe everyone does kick into self-preservation mode first.

Does anyone else see the amazing resemblance that the head lady from the Department of Homeland Security bears to Helen Mirren?

I loved Chloe's "protocol" speech to the second-in-command Homeland Security guy, but I especially loved her look when she realized how crazy the new girl is after Bill brushed past her.

I really liked that in the preview for next week, they didn't show Jack at all. But we know he's not dead.

The Chinese still haven't entered the picture yet...

:eek:

Logan? Logan is behind this? He seems pretty insulated from this. Here's my theory.

Logan contacted Henderson. Henderson ran the whole thing. The plan was as originally described by Walt Cummings, being that they were going to remote trigger the nerve gas when it was at the terrorist camp in central Russia.

This is the only rational explanation I can come up with. Otherwise, how does he have the private conversation with Cummings that he had? I think when the plan went awry and the terrorists decided to turn the gas on the US that Logan went into damage control mode and now it is all about preserving himself.

Is 24 shown on different nights/times? Because I keep calling my mom during 24 and if this keeps up my brother's going to replace me as the good kid in the family.

Sca, that is a really good theory.

Remember in the beginning when Logan and Jack were talking and Jack acknowledges that his being alive is going to be a huge problem for Logan...?

Prudence, the Fox site for 24 shows 24 being on Mondays at 9.

The current season runs on Mondays at 9 PM on Fox. A&E runs previous seasons at other times during the week.

Central time, which includes AZ, means it is on an hour earlier. Though we are now on the same clock time as CA, it is on at 8:00 here, while most of the country sees it at 9:00.
