FAQ Bauer (aka Thread Rules) 1) What can be discussed in plain text, unboxed?
A: Any events in episodes, once aired on the east coast – as well as any speculation based on these already-aired events.
2) What should I confine to spoiler boxes?
A: Any discussion of upcoming shows that contains information from sources outside the aired material, or any speculation based on such things. This includes the “Next week on 24” previews, which some people choose not to watch.
3) What’s Jack going to be doing in the upcoming hour?
A: Being dizzy and passing out, apparently…
Previously on 24…
Olivia’s snottiness is coming back to haunt her. She is forced to bang a reporter to keep him from blackmailing her. But… aha! She took a video of it, to blackmail him! His wife won’t be happy. But Olivia probably won’t either, when it just ends up on the Internet…
Jack starts showing symptoms. He’s a sick man. There is no cure. Except… well, Kim might have some stem cells that could help. But it’s very experimental. And once you inject yourself with those stem cells, you are very susceptible to wildlife traps.
Since Jack is still stuck in the FBI office, Tony has to be the action man. Tony sneaks around and finds the bio-weapons. But Dr. Evil Hodges has already loaded them into missiles aimed at big cities. Madame President has to call off the air strike. I guess she does negotiate with terrorists sometimes…
How did I get here? I was looking at those rockets that resemble those toys I had. You put water in them and pumped them up with an air pump…Maybe I breathed too many fuel fumes.
Mrs. Plant agrees with you. I say he’s being tidy. Perhaps he’s going to use their bodies to pack the explosives and it’s easier to get them there under there own motive power.
You’d think Madame Pres would want to stall Jonas just a little bit longer, until FBI could completely verify that things had definitely been taken care of at Starkwood. Yes, the explosion most likely took out that bunker, but they’ve had the bio-goo on the complex for a while, and there could still be some of it somewhere…
So now Jonas is another small fish in a big pond? Everybody’s a small fish? Apparently there’s always a bigger fish… and the conspiracy reaches everywhere.
Bets on who is REALLY behind it all?
Olivia?
Morris O’Brien?
Kim Bauer? (She planned to get her dad infected with a bio-weapon, just so she would force him to reconcile with her and ask for her stem cell assistance…?)
