Patman - I agree with you too. Was thinking about the billing thing. ALTHOUGH did they not screw around with that convention in the 1st season when the lesbian who blew up the plane in the 1st episode turned out to only be in the first 3 episodes?

I think he was kidding about you being a little trigger-happy when it comes to starting these threads.

P.S. I think he was also mixing in a J6P impression by calling it "the most compelling hour of television."

I'm going to go cry now. Read the exchange between MJ2938721350927502830529342 and me.

Ouch! Spoilered in another thread.

Re: Kate-- there are some spoiler type things on the 24 web site that hint as to the magnitude of her role in the series.

I loved this episode. Fantastic how they kept ratcheting up the tension. And what I care about most is that the characters tended to act believably.

Comments:
1) How long does it take to evacuate CTU? These are trained agents! It seemed like there were more, not less, people in the room as time went on.
2) I can't stand the weaselly-character thing with Rayburn, but we'll how it plays out. I can't imagine Palmer will show much patience with him.
3) I agree with huzefa-- Mason has hero/martyr written all over him.
4) Was one of the bombs planted in the room where Teri was killed last year?

They just never learn. Speaking of which, with Buffy coming down the home stretch, it's probably time for me to avoid those threads until the show goes off the air. Still, nothing can protect you from the "Left Field Spoiler" like the one you just got.

I thought the same thing. I only counted 1 explosion. Were all three bombs detonated with the same timer?

Also, I just wanted to kill Kim and that girl already. They were driving me nuts last night.

The most notable thing I've seen her in was The Faculty.

I mean, he did open the van and proclaim, "aw, shucks, Boss ... mighty few people back in this here truck." Reminds me of the security guard at the South Park Mall - "move along ..."

Yeah, this was the one "whoops" in last nights episode that really stood out to me. They check the badge of the driver, but no one else in a government facility? And after things look suspicious because of the amount of workers, they STILL don't ask for badges.

I don't think that they are all trained agents. I am guessing, like in any gov building that most of them are regular folk with normal office jobs (since it is an office). For example, Jamie from last year, or Rosanne's kid from this year...and they are both high up on the ladder in that building and they have preatty much zero training. Guys like Jack and Mason are probably rare even though it is agency with many highly trained agents...They all just don't work in the building...

I thought the guard told them that they could park and the rest of them would have their badges checked at main security... still it sounds completely lame considering Timothy McVeigh was able to blow up an entire BUILDING with just a van parked next to it.

BTW does Palmer just have a serious KNACK for picking losers as his close personal advisors? Yikes!

Except that the dude said "We're going to turn a government building into a cemetery."

That's not just a disruption.

And Kim goes racing around looking for the little girl, finally finds her about to be molested or worse and the girl says "I went looking for you!" -- After Kim spent 20 minutes saying "DON'T LEAVE THIS SPOT!" That little girl should be used as a human shield in the big shootout.

I am just going to post this about people(Patman) saying that I am trigger happy with posting my threads. I go to college for about ten hours a day the only time I have to start my threads is eight a.m. the day the show airs.

You could always start the thread the day before the show airs, or even a week or month before. Then you wouldn't have to worry about it in the morning.

My local station now shrinks the coming attractions to an unwatchable tiny window and mutes the sound so they can plug the local news that follows the show

So now I don't get to see the previews for 24 and John Doe and.....

I've already phoned and emailed them about my displeasure.

They did check the badges along with their toolboxes after they had gone past the first check point. If you look the area where the first were checked in did not seemed to be to damaged maybe it is like the airports where the parking has to be so far away fom everything else so as not to damage the actual facility. I know after the whole Mcveigh thing that you could not park in front of a goverment building. So that could be one excuse. Just doing my part to keep the show honest.

Beyond that, a bomb explodes in a counter-terrorism office, a 17-year old and a 5-year old are standing in the middle of the rubble, and the counter-terrorism staffing are running by them without a single one stopping to help!

Perhaps they read the "24" threads at DVDTalk.com?
