24: Day 7 8:00AM - 12:00 PM - Discussion and Spoilers

[Lindley]

Good start to the day.

One thing that might qualify as a flub from yesterday----FBI chick asked if Jack and Tony were "tight". Guess what, Hollywood, that's a west-coast-only slang.

 

[TJ Sinclair]

^Since when? We've been using it in Baltimore for years.

 

[Lindley]

I suppose I can't speak for the whole east coast, but growing up in New England I never heard it once. My first exposure was visiting family in California, and I thought it sounded strange.

I've only been in the DC area for a couple of years, but it isn't exactly common from what I can tell. It just stood out.

 

[Gil T.Azell]

I thought it (the first 2hrs)came off well, Good to see that Kurtwood Smith (aka Red Forman) was back to playing an arrogant A-hole type character.( he good at that).

Has he ever played anything else?

Federation President - Star Trek VI TUC.

^Since when? We've been using it in Baltimore for years.

Be sides she could have been posted there in a transfer??

Anyone want to bet the person in the administration who is on the take is Bob Gunton?

Thankfully Andy Dufresne isn't around to uncover things.

Nor is Cheif O'Brien there to talk him out of ding what he's doing

Gotta love her freckles, too.

And her blue/green eyes

 

[TJ Sinclair]

Okay, this is veering a bit off topic, but the thought just occurred to me: does anyone know what happened to the 8 episodes of the "original day 7" they filmed before the strike put the kibosh on the whole thing? Has anyone heard anything about them?

I wonder if they'd be included (or at least clips) on the season 7 DVDs...

 

[TGTheodore]

Hour Three written by Manny Coto and Brannon Braga ...

What? No "what is real and what isn't" scene?

--Ted

 

[Cap'n Caveman]

The FBI, apparently, has a "hotties only" hiring policy.

...

Hey. Hows come they're not working out of the, iconic, FBI building in D.C.?

You mean the Gay Edgar Hoover Building?

Yes.

The "Gay" Edgar Hoover Building.

That building is the real DC branch of the FBI in DC, across the street from the National Building Museum (the red building in the beginning of that scene). They had a badass armored assault vehicle parked there for a few weeks.

 

[Aragorn]

So did CTU2 kill the Graem Bauer Bluetooth gang and take over their stuff?

Is the first husband's secret service guy the one they revealed at the end of the TV movie to be working for the Illuminati -- I mean -- 24 bad guys? Not that it really matters since anyone can become a bad guy on this show and it won't be a surprise.

"In 2017 a counter terrorist unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men and women promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the Bauer Team."

 

[IndyJones]

Random fact: The law firm that they call in for Tanner at the Hospital is Gage Whitney (the second largest firm in DC). Gage Whitney has existed as a law firm in The West Wing (Sam worked there in NYC before the White House) where it was listed as the second largest law firm in NYC, Studio 60, and Rob Lowe's show The Lyon's Den.

I just knew that I'd heard of it before tonight....

Near as I figure we're watching them right now.

 

[Mr Light]

From what I read the original eight episodes from two years ago weren't touched and that's what we're watching. So between episode 8 and 9 everybody is going to age a year and Chloe is suddenly going to be pregnant, should be hilarious

Will it be Chloe who is pregnant, or will it be Mary Lyn and the writers working around that?

 

[Lindley]

Hmm. Offhand I can't recall any angles on Chloe in these four episodes which confirm she's not pregnant. Haven't been looking though.

 

[Mr Light]

It's the actress who's pregnant. I saw her on Leno or Conan and she was talking about it. I thought she was saying she'd be preggers in these first eps, but I watched closely and there was a clear shot of her stomach and she's thin as a rail, so it must be ep9 on.

 

[Neroon]

I'm curious as to how they will deal with the character being pregnant.

 

[Kira's Mom]

I thought Chloe was pregnant at the end of Day Six. What happened there?

 

[Mallet]

I'm curious as to how they will deal with the character being pregnant.

They will just have her sitting at her desk for the rest of the season.

 

[Trekker4747]

I thought Chloe was pregnant at the end of Day Six. What happened there?

4 years have passed since then.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Chloe is an elephant with an extended pregnancy.

 

[Aragorn]

I'm curious as to how they will deal with the character being pregnant.

She'll get kidnapped by aliens and Bill will have to team up with Alex Krycek.

 

[Lindley]

You know, they're far enough in the future now that they could do a C&C crossover. I totally want to see Jack as the GDI commando trying to take down Kain....
