24 - Day 8: 6:00AM - 8:00AM - Discussion and Spoilers

[Trekker4747]

Right now... militant nationalists are planning to detonate a nuclear bomb in New York city in the next fifteen minutes. Which means either there's going to be a last-minute save by me, the terrorists are bluffing or the thing is going to go off. Also, the people I work with are completely oblivious to the fact that the parole-officer guy has completely vanished and that someone has been doing things to them underhandidly for the last 14 hours, though no one is clear what she's done to help the terrorists as that little thread seemed to fall completely out of someone's butt. Oh, and I've not been renewed for next season which means the next time you see me after today the gloves come off and I can really fuck some people up! I'm retired federal agent Jack Bauer and today is the last TV-PG rated day of my life.

The following takes place between 6:00AM and 8:00AM.

Tonight is a two-hour long episode, for grading purposes I'm simply calling it one episode (even though the show will most likely be aired as two seperate ones. My 24-watching buddy will be with me tonight so I won't be posting much. I may chime in from time-to-time with my quips.

 

[StarshipDefiant]

I love the in character type intro to the thread, hah. Looking forward to the episode tonight.

 

[knine]

So who do we think is going to out Starbuck? My money is on Chole. Poor poor Cole.

 

[Danny99]

Well from the promos, it looks like she'll be outed pretty soon.

 

[Procutus]

Great intro, Trekker! Thanks for reminding me what hour(s) this is, since I've long forgotten! I can remember the day when I was so plugged into the story, I knew exactly what hour we were going into.

That said, I can't wait for tonight's usual witty commentary.

 

[Trekker4747]

I should be here for the first hour.

 

[DarthPipes]

Defnitely a good intro.

 

[Trekker4747]

No!!! And he was one-day away from retirement!

 

[Danny99]

Since when does this General out rank the government guy?

 

[Trekker4747]

"I only take order from the President of the United States... and Hastings. Ok, and Chloe too if she needs me to do something technical for a plan to work. ... Ok and, fine, Renee when she asks me to take the trash out. But other than that I only take orders from The President of the United States."

 

[Mr. Adventure]

He's on an Ethan Hunt.

 

[Procutus]

I should be here for the first hour.

Same here, I'm planning on taping the second hour for later viewing.

 

[Danny99]

Jack taken down with one crowbar shot? God, maybe he does need to retire.

 

[Procutus]

He's on an Ethan Hunt.

Stop it, you're Taran me up over here!

 

[Mr. Adventure]

HASSAN CHOP!

 

[Procutus]

Jack taken down with one crowbar shot? God, maybe he does need to retire.

"Dammit! I'm running out of concussions!"

 

[Trekker4747]

Since when does this General out rank the government guy?

Since the Hierarchy of Chain of Command act of 2012. It passed the House with a vote of 330, all Republicans. No votes, completely, from the Democratic side.

 

[Trekker4747]

Jack taken down with one crowbar shot? God, maybe he does need to retire.

"Dammit! I'm running out of concussions!"

 

[Mr. Adventure]

That sat phone bill is going to be outrageous.

In 2015 orbital alignment and rotation velocity augmenters have completely removed dawn and dusk from the day/night cycle. The "Twilight" books and movies were that bad.

Day/Night cycles.... OF THE FUTURE!!!
