1 month and counting until the new season starts...

Any ideas on how this seasons going to go? The only previews/clips I've seen is Jack wondering around what looks like Arizona, and he answers his cellphone "How did you get this number?" I have no idea what's going to happen... and that's what i love Evil

Clap Punk

laugh out loud The whole Taser scene was awesome - but pretty inaccurate (as far as the Taser's capabilities and medical risks). But I try to focus on the entertainment of the show, not the implausible situations. laugh out loud

I'm still trying to figure out how many times he lit the guy up, because that whole scene had me laughing my ass off.
There's two ways to look at that though. Are the writers just spewing a bunch of BS about tasers, or is Jack just lying to this guy to intimidate him into telling the truth, making him think that a shock to the throat is deadly when it isn't? It reminds me of that one scene from the Punisher when he has a guy hanging upside down and shows him a welding rod torched and ready to go. He explains to him that it's so hot that the flame instantly kills your nerve endings and you actually feel ice cold instead of extreme hot. Then he goes around back and touches him in the back with a popsicle. The guy starts screaming bloody murder and tells him everything, it was hilarious.

laugh out loud I hadn't thought about it that way before - but that's awesome. Lies are a very good interrogation technique. laugh out loud

I thought it was weak of Bill Buchanan to tell Jack he can't get the info. out of Sen. Mayer's corrupt chief of staff b/c he's not trained in interrogation techniques. I interpreted Bill's, "I can't" as "I won't." That let me down. Sadwalk

Yes, RIP Bill. I knew he was going to die sometime this season. Frankly, I'm surprised he wasn't killed off last week. At least he went out heroically. And predictably, Jack shed some tears for him. Crying Too bad it wasn't Larry Moss who was killed off (yet?).

That was great how the bad guys framed Jack for Ryan's murder. But I'm surprised that when Jack saw something suspicious fall from the ceiling that he didn't immediately hold his breath. He now has to find that guy and hope that his name gets cleared from Ryan's death.

I loved how First Daughter Olivia challenged the Chief of Staff on his incompetence for letting corrupt people work in the White House. She's a feisty gal ... and easy on the eyes. Embarrassment

Did Pres. Taylor ever find out the status of her husband's health?

Where did everyone go? A new episode of "24" tonight. According to the commercial preview, Jack will get 1-on-1 time w/ that Senator that wants to put him in jail. EEK! Cool

I wonder if the count includes Bill Buchanan's death.

TV death chart: Who's getting killed off? [ew.com]

24
Number of deaths: 2 (at least)
Time frame: End of season
The scoop: Um, it's 24. It'd probably be easier if I told you how many people aren't dying.

Spoilers ahead. laugh out loud

So, hard time telling if is evil or not. Seems like they want us to believe that is, which makes me think that not, but then again, it could be reverse psychology and really is evil. laugh out loud

I'm guessing that she's a pawn.

I don't think the daughter is evil I just think she's clueless, just like the Senator. I think she acts in the moment based on her ideology without thinking of the short term ramifications. It's quite fine to think the Chief Advisor (Chief of Staff?) is incompetent and maybe needs to be replaced, but it would be irresponsible to bring that to the forefront so quickly after a crisis. That said, we don't know that she leaked anything.

When Jack randomly broke into someone's car to escape from the hospital, how did it just happen to have a laptop that had the bad guy's image? Confused

Like the senator would just open the door because the person on the other side says they're with the PD-

I was thinking the same thing!!

Just about everyone Jack comes in contact with eventually dies. EEK!

I'm looking forward to Jack making Chloe a widow once he finds out her husband ratted him out. woot

I'm pretty sure he hacked into the hospital's security system to get that video.

Remember as jack was leaving the hospital (more specifically, when he took out the security guard?) he took a disc? I was like why would anyone leave their macbook in their car? How did Jack see it when he sat in there?
