TheItalianStallion Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I've never understood the fixation on Mandy by much of the 24 fanbase. She sounds like a 12-year-old, I didn't buy her as a killer, and she isn't even all that hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I think if the creators of 24 were smart, they'd try to flesh out the new characters some more to rebuild 24 for the future instead of constantly digging back to the past. But since Live Another Day sounds like a one time thing it probably won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliz Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The show is a fun guilty pleasure, but the writing is just laughable sometimes Ok Chloe I got the flight key, how do I get the rest of the data to you?!? Don't worry I'll walk you through it. Just get to a computer with a wireless connection Ok I'm there Good. Now plug it in to the USB port Ok And it will automatically resume the upload Wow, thanks for "walking me through it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yes, but that's what makes it so funny, it's lack of realism. I remember the DC season and they were talking about all these made up expressways and streets. I was like "Those streets do not exist in real life" Also the "sewer tunnel" that led to the White House Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Don't forget the "port of Alexandria," the terrorists operating out of the Canadian Embassy, and the FBI estimating that around 10,000 people would be killed by biological attack on the DC Metro subways...........at 3am.

skinfan2k Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 someone in CTU being a mole or hiding something. This is classic 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin4ever Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I told my wife they are revealing the mole kind of early. Then I realized this is only a 12 hour show, so they have to get to the moles quickly. By the way, I thought they were going to break one of the unwritten rules of 24 and let that little girl get killed. I thought for sure she was going to be the one hit by the car. Also, Kate may be the only character in the history of 24 that is tougher and a better shot than Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 To be fair we don't know how Navarro is involved: all we know is that he apparently set up Kate's husband. He might not have any connection to Margot. This is also the first time where the CTU/FBI/CIA head is the mole; in the past it has almost always been some techie. But yes, I did roll my eyes as soon as he took out his phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Generally seasons of 24 consist of two story arcs. It looks like Kate's husband and the Russians will consist of the second story, once the Margot/drones has played out. It's just that with only 12 or 13 epsiodes, things have to be rushed more.

Redskin4ever Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Jack's old CTU boss Christopher Henderson killed Martha Logan's assistant and her young daughter in season 5. You could make that assumption, but they never show anything to the effect. They just leave them with Henderson. That's what I mean with not killing kids. They generally don't show it, even if it can be assumed. I'm sure tthere may be other examples where they do, but it seems they save them when they can.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The lady who plays Kate is about the only thing I liked about the final season of Dexter. I like her more as a villain though, she seems kinda basic in the role she plays on 24. But its 24......she could be in on it. My sentiments exactly.......about Elisha Cuthbert. Hoping they don't bring her back, again. WTF? Elisha Cuthbert is hot as **** lol. No way you just compared her to Mandy.........SMH I'll give it another week or two, but this season is losing me fast. That will pretty much take you past half the season lol.

TheItalianStallion Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 IIRC the next time we saw Henderson, he said "Evelyn gave up Bauer." Maybe he left them unconscious in exchange for spilling the beans. According to 24's wiki page her status was "unknown," while other characters left hanging like Wayne Palmer and John Keeler have been listed as "deceased."

TheItalianStallion Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 This was the first genuinely tense episode to me. Looks like Heller is making his decision with his failing health in mind. I hope he lives, though; I've grown very desensitized to this show killing off all the characters. Not to mention that all of the deals with terrorists people in the show have made over the years are based on dubious premises, namely that the terrorists can be trusted to hold up their end of the bargain.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah, this was tense. They did a good job portraying that helpless and vulnerable feeling when they were escaping the drone in the car. That next missile could have come at any time!

TheGoodBits Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 They kind of opened up the plot to a complete shift even if Heller gives himself up, the drone kills him, and Margot stands by her word to end the attacks. I always thought that the Adrian Cross character was played by an actor that was too recognizable for a marginal role. Happy to have him as the villain for the rest of the season.
