24: Live Another Day - Part 2

[souvlaki]

So I'm starting to think the time jump everyone talked about is not happening and this season will just be a 12 hour span. Unless they skip half a day for the finale traveling back to the US or something.

Has anybody been following how 24 had been doing ratings-wise? These season is FANTASTIC. I know it started off as one-off, but man do I hope it comes back for another season.

The overnight Nielsen ratings have been lower than previous seasons, but overall (that is, including DVR/OnDemand/streaming viewings), it's been Fox's second-highest rated show behind American Idol, apparently.

And I agree, it's been one of the best seasons. Not S5 good, but right up there with best of the rest, imo.

I've heard [blackout]there is indeed a half-day time jump in the finale[/blackout].

A great episode again. Them getting Navarro to talk was classic subterfuge by Jack. Had a feeling Chole would have a turn of conscience. Didn't expect all of Cross' hackers to be dead but I sort of knew Tzi Ma/Cheng would show up eventually since he was spotted out in London with the rest of the cast. Even before that, once the Chinese were referenced numerous times with Kate and her husband, Cross, and Navarro, the one notable Chinese agent/villain left was Cheng and he fits the bill for tying into the show's past. Also, as soon as their vehicle was hit, the Russians were the only logical ones to do it since Mark gave them all the information to find Jack.

Based on the preview for next week, I think we can determine that:
-Jack makes it out of his confrontation with the Russians
-Jack ends up back at Heller's hotel/compound and confronts Mark
-Mark is going to end up fired, arrested, and without a wife
-China isn't going to be all too pleased their aircraft carrier is sunk and it'll be up to Jack/Kate/CIA to stop WWIII from happening
-Jack and Kate are going to be on some sort of raid where Cheng is or something tied to the Chinese government

All that is going to make for an action packed episode, leading to what could only be a pretty exciting season finale.

Jack running after the train whilst shouting "CHLOOEE!!" was gold.

 

[chamber-music]

No one expects the Cheng inquisition!

Gotta love Jack Bauer interrogations

What is the torture counter up to this season now?

24, Strike Back and Nikita have been my go-to action shows for years.

Philip Winchester from Strike Back popped up as a general in this weeks 24 episode

I'm disappointed Bauer didn't do a James Bond in Skyfall and slide down the middle barrier of the escalators

The Last Episode is Listed from 10pm-11am

I prefer it that way. A time jump would be jarring and break the format. This is similar to '24: Redemption', that very underrated two hour TV movie that came out before season 7. IMO, the real time aspect is more important than each season or special actually covering a 24 hour time span.

I was excpecting Jack to jump on the back of the train...

Yeah same here. I guess he's getting too old

Say what?!?! I totally missed him! Must re-watch ASAP.

 

[Golgo-13]

I didn't like the fact that in the preview they gave away Jack and Heller confronting Mark about the russians.

And Chang is back! I hope Jack off's him this time after all the torture he inflicted on both Bauer and Audrey.

10pm-11am is a time-jump.

one HELLUVA timejump...

 

[antsman41]

Yeah, will it be 55minutes of one hour and a 11ish hour time jump for 5 minutes or a slight opening then the time jump for the final "hour"?

Now i'm imagining a "24" parody with Chang being Ken Jeong.

 

[Matt]

I figure it will jump around, as in scenes will take place at different times throughout the 12 hour period.

That's just not 24 to me.

I knew Jack had a long game play in mind when he smashed Navarro's hand, he can be blunt but he's no fool and he knew that wouldn't achieve anything in and of itself, but I loved the way he and Kate operated to get the code and for a split second I thought Kate was gonna get Curtised!

A Russian hit squad after Jack, the return of sinister Chinese spy Cheng and a Chinese aircraft carrier destroyed by a US missile all in one ep, I love this show!

Funny thing, Phillip Winchester, who plays Michael Stonebridge in Strike Back, appeared in last nights episode as one of Heller's military staff during one of the scenes after Kate gets the information out of Navarro. I was caught off guard that he was sitting there speaking with an American accent.

 

[antsman41]

What if, what it the 24 producers are secretly going to give us a 13 hour long season finale? It's not like this fan base can't handle that, lol...

 

[Travesty]

I laughed.

Best line ever!

Holy ****, I just re-watched and that was him! Can't believe I didn't notice before. Weird seeing him as basically a glorified extra with 2 lines...maybe he'll get more focus in the last two eps.

Colin Salmon helped out James Bond, Jack Bauer and is the Green Arrow's stepdad.
