24 - Day 8: 4:00PM - 8:00PM: Discussion and Spoilers

[Procutus]

This sub-plot with Starbuck is slowing the story down, IMO.

I think Hastings is about to find out just how wrong he was with this particular lead.

I'm still trying to figure out her appeal.

Dude drives around in and lives in a bad-ass van! What self-respecting chick wouldn't go for him?!

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Is she required to keep her hand on that table 24/7? Will she win a car if she doesn't let go for 48 hours?

 

[Trekker4747]

Oh, Chloe, I love you and your quirkly little facial expressions.

 

[Samurai8472]

It's more like a small personal matter. Unless Dan turns out to be a super terrorist hiding stinger missiles in the back of his van.

 

[Trekker4747]

Jack's already scanned the room and has thought out 10 different ways to kill this guy.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

"Say do you know John Connor?"

 

[Neroon]

anyone taking bets on whether Hassan denies the affair?

 

[Danny99]

Jack's already scanned the room and has thought out 10 different ways to kill this guy.

And not quickly enough...

 

[Samurai8472]

He can already see the tools on the table behind him with the eyes Chloe implanted into the back of his head.

This sub-plot with Starbuck is slowing the story down, IMO.

24 always has stupid subplots about characters and their personal issues that slow the story down to a grinding halt. Remember when the CTU boss during season 4 had her psycho daughter? Who committed suicide under the watch of the CTU doctors despite being their only patient?

I don't like this subplot at all. It's ridiculous...she can assume a new identity and get a job with CTU (which is all fairness is the easiest thing to do in the world of 24) but can't shake off her white trash boyfriend?

I'm guessing the annoying time delay I read about in an early review is Jack getting caught by the cops.

Chloe is terrific though.

I had managed to block that out of my mind till you mentioned it... Thanks

Listen you floppy-haired presidential aide, shut up and lay off, OK?!

I'd completely forgotten that one. the first inane subplot I thougth of was the one with Sean Astin's character. Regardless, I agree... these never seem to add much at all to the story

 

[Danny99]

I don't know if Hastings is laughing or can't believe she wasn't lying with that look on his face.

 

[Trekker4747]

In 2015 cell-phone coverage still kind-of sucks even in New York City on the Sprint Network.

Cell phones... OF THE FUTURE!!!

 

[Neroon]

I kinda like this twist that the person being blackmailed or manipulated is a visiting dignitary and not the garden-variety CTU employee of US government official.
