    I don't think anything is going on between them two, I just think Mrs. Logan got horny after Aaron saved her life and her husband was a coward ;-)

    Yea...I swear they were getting real friendly there. I thought they were about to go at it. Aaron was definitely in.

    How long does it take to get to an exit at CTU? How come you couldn't just hold your breath and sprint for the doors. it couldn't take longer than a minute to get out.

    I'm guessing most of them didn't know it was nerve gas.

    How silly is that? Code Red ... you're trying to track a nerve agent ... decontamination room ... 1 + 1 + 1 = ???

    Nerve gas can be penetrated through the skin, contrary to what is shown on 24. Also, Edgers death would have been much more violent instead of "falling down". The mall scene was much more realistic. I would think they would have had gas masks nearby and possible antiodotes (if any exists) since they were currently try to track nerve gas.

    What was it that Jack used to revive that little girl in the mall scene?

    Yeah, that was my understanding. The attack on CTU was not something planned ahead of time. Remember that they weren't even planning to use the Sentox on US soil, it just happened that way after their plans fell through.
    Lynn's sister's boyfriend probably called some mafia-types he knew who might be able to sell the card (he was smart enough to know it was worth at least something) and Bierko got wind of it.

    OMFG...What amazing episodes...First of Kim, 2nd of all, 40% of CTU, gone...Even Edgar...wow...I can't believe how much has happend within 24 hours... :p

    I think that Sam was a freak and I'm assuming he's dead for not telling anyone about his keycard sooner...Kim, well, at least she's still alive...I'm assuming Tony is still alive, but hell, who knows...I'm not sure about Mrs. Logan and Aaron...Btw, Curtis is Black Jack...he is badass...

    All in all, I can't wait until next week...

    Henderson is a moran. Get full immunity, start talking, and go home. Enough of the patriotic BS, doesn't he know CTU always wins? They will get the info somehow.

    24 and the X-Files....

    I love 24 as much as the next guy. I've seen every episode, in order, since 12:01 am in season 1 when Jack was at home, relaxing, playing a game of chess with Kim. I'm hardcore.

    But I think they made a mistake. When Palmer ascended to the presidency, in some ways it gave us too much information. We saw what was happening at the top. Think back to season 1. Back then, there was the tantalizing threat of corruption and betrayal all the way up the chain of command. Jack knew that someone in CTU was crooked. And he didn't know how far up it extended.

    It gave a certain X-Files-ish conspiracy theory. Part of the X-File's appeal was that Mulder and Scully were on the ground floor. They didn't have access to the President or even to the Defense Secretary. They left the "top guys" intentionally mysterious, with the Cigarrette Smoking Man symbolizing the shadowy powers that be.

    In season 1 of 24, you had that "Holy ****, could the government really be in on Senator Palmer's assasination attempt" vibe. This season, though, when Walt Cummings was a traitor -- shrug. It has less impact. Becuase we also see things from the president's eyes, from the 30,000 feet view, it eliminates some of the shadows and mystery. The threat was compartmentalized.

    Don't get me wrong. The 24 writers do a good job keeping the president in the dark, and therefore keeping us in the dark. But by having the President be one of the main characters, they've drastically reduced the unknown, robbing the show of a whole other level of intrigue.

    My 2 cents...

    ps. Oh, and more importantly, yeah, let's get some hotties back on this show. C'mon. Remember season 1? You had a mid-riff baring Kim, a naked Mandy, naked Mandy's girlfriend (and then they made out), and even the hottie campaign-girl who worked for Palmer and slept with one of the Drazen's. Please. Casting director. I'm begging you. Give us some skin.

    pps. Loved the last episode. Edgar's death was the two best minutes of TV this year.

    Was that season 1? I don't remember who Mandy was...and I definitely don't remember 2 chicks making out in season 1. But I haven't seen hours 5-24 of Season 2 or any of Season 3. So maybe it's it one of those..?

    Yeah, Mandy making out with the other chick was in the first few hours of season 1... I think 2-3 a.m. (it started at midnight).

    :( :( :(

    I love you Tony.

    And Kim, you might seriously be the dumbest, most annoying girl on any television show ever. I know this isn't new stuff, but wow, is she dumb.

    Tony shouldn't have hesitated on Henderson. The actor used to be Robocop for crying out loud.

    God am I glad we won't have to suffer through Lynn's BS anymore! RIP I guess :rolleyes:

    As for Kim, does the 'good-bye' mean she's gone fishing from '24' once more? If so, it was a very short and disappointing stint...they certainly didn't exploit her character to spice things up a bit on the show.

    I will tell you one thing, I certainly hope Chloe doesn't get the axe, I think '24' wouldn't be the same without her; next to Jack, Chloe is another character I associate with '24'.

    Kim isn't gone. Remember that Robocop set her up with her boyfriend. She'll get into trouble and find out that her supercool new boyfriend is a terrorist or something, so Jack will have to take time out from saving the world to rescue her so she can say she's sorry.

    LOL! Yeah, you're probably right.

    That's another thing that 24 needs to work on a bit more, the show is becoming more and more predictable.

    Did anyone see Lynn play a quick game of Pac-Man while he was at the terminal? ;)
