Has anyone seen this? It is literally a minute-by-minute account of every single 24 episode. Whose job is this? Getting paid to watch 24? Where do I sign up?
I dont like how the week before they show what is going to happen in the next week. I mean, sometimes it creates excitements but I find many times it ruins a twist or large event. Maybe its just me.

I personally love the teasers. I don't think they ever give anything away. They never show too much in my opinion.

So far this season definitely surpasses the 4th.
Even if Audrey is being framed, I'd bet that she won't survive much longer. According to an article in Entertainment Weekly, Kim Raver's got a new pilot for another network next year and that means (in 24-land) that she's on the chopping block...

Yes pE, after tonight's episode I agree...Audrey is headed for the chopping block. It looks like she is really getting in heavy with Jack, and let's face it...Jack is like a black widow. Bad shit follows him.

Does anyone know where Kim went?
If Audrey's not gonna die, then she really is the mole. Either way, I'm pretty sure she's not gonna be dating Jack next season.
Even though I realize that she's a necessary character in the show, no one annoys me more than Kim Bauer. I hope she did really just take off with Dr. Soul Man, but I have a feeling they'll be back in later episodes. I also get the feeling Dr. Soul Man is connected to Robocop somehow, and he'll turn out to be bad.

I agree that I don't think we have seen the last of Soul Man. I'm not sure what the point of bringing he and Kim in for just two episodes would be. It has to be more than just showing her that Jack is alive. I agree Audrey is probably gone too since Jack gave her the kiss of death. I thought last night was a pretty exciting episode and I'm curious to see the elevated political intrigue that appears to be on the horizon.

Haha, how is she necessary? I would have been perfectly content if they had just given a toss-off line to Chloe that went something like, "Jack, Kim was just eaten by a mountain lion. Sorry." I don't think anything would have been affected.

LOL...My only thought on that was that to Jack Bauer, protecting his family is paramount. If they all got killed, I think he'd just flip out, grow his season 2 beard back, and go Robocop on everybody's ass.
But if they did kill off Kim, getting eaten by a mountain lion (or a cougar, or whatever the hell that thing was in season 2) would be the best way to do it. But I think she's safe. I predict Soul Man will take her hostage and Jack will have to save her. Again.

This is the 'Bush orchestrated 9/11' conspiracy theory. Logan orchestrated a bunch of terror attacks to get credit for leading the country through them.

Well we don't yet know why Logan is orchestrating all of this. And remember...if Jack hadn't been so heads up, the terrorists would have succeeded in gasing hundreds of thousands of people--then the president wouldn't have looked so great.
In that last scene Logan looked a lot more confident/evil than he has ever before, he seems to have just been putting on the clueless face and is really an evil genius, kind of like Ronald Reagan in that old SNL skit.
I think the "POTUS is the Bad Guy" thing might yet be another red herring. I don't think they'd spring that kind of surprise on the audience this early. I'm thinking it might be akin to the second season when we were led to believe Mike Novick and Sherri Palmer were bad, when in fact they were just misguided. I still think there's a larger villian.
It also doesn't make any sense since when Walt Cummings sprang his story about the gas on POTUS, POTUS was surprised. If he was in on it too, wouldn't he have been like "Yeah, I know all about that". If POTUS is the mastermind, there are some definite holes in the plot.

I don't know what to think! I agree there may be another twist concerning the president. And what about the VP? He still has a role to play in this be it heroic or sinister. It was a nice twist to have us all thinking he was one of the bad guys and then cast major doubt on it. And one more question, where the hell is Mike Novick?! He's been gone for over two hours now. Sorry, one more thing, I thought it was pretty funny when Jack basically shrugged off the fact Wayne Palmer was a Marine.

Well to Jack anyone who is not CTU is Not Good Enough.
I kind of agree with Eric...it'll probably end up that the president just got into another side deal that we don't know about. I doubt he is really THAT cold-blooded.
As for holes in the plot, does anyone even remember what was happening in the 3rd or 4th hour? I have trouble remembering what the original plotline of this season was, let alone specific conversations between people. Things change so quickly in 24, it is easier for them to get away with plot holes. You have the impression the writers just make up this stuff episode-to-episode, which I think is kind of fun.
I don't know, you can fill those holes in one way or another. I just have the intuition that Logan really is behind it, because that would be the most controversial thing to do imaginable.
To fill the holes you just have to say 'Things didn't go exactly the way Logan planned'.
-He thought Bierco was going to release the gas on Moscow like he said, and didn't count on the nerve gas being discovered so quickly.
-Walt Cummings was intended as a contingency plan scapegoat, in case he got caught. Or, Walt Cummings was contacted on his own and Logan had no idea he was involved.
-Maybe, Logan's only contact in the whole ordeal was Christopher Henderson, and he set up the rest.
Maybe that's why Christopher Henderson was willing to let his wife die. His 'patriotic reason'. He thinks that if there were a couple more large scale terrorist attacks, it'd scare people into allowing the president to take more draconian security measures, which he believes is best for the country.
That's my current theory, at least.

Still hanging into watching 24. Except for the last Logan twist, the series has rebounded to its emotionally and intimate compelling series. The dialogue on this thread is quite elevated (substantive, excellent comments) compared to most of the others I've seen for either movie or television series.

Okay, how many prediction points to I get?
