Just wondering. . … Do you guys ever go back to the 24 spoiler threads? Or can we say anything we want about you guys and you would never know?

'Cause I always wanted to start a rumor about **Knead** and **Munch**. I dunno what, but it would have to do with eating bread somehow. . …

I can’t speak for my brethren, but I plan to peruse the spoiler threads after I’ve watched this season’s shows, just to glean insight and steal jokes. 🙂 Occasionally, as you’ve already no doubt noticed, I have returned to those threads to post comments, warnings, etc., but I try to handle that very carefully when I do.

Rather than bump up a bunch of old threads, I expect to start a “Please _discuss_ “24” with me” thread when the season is over, like I did last year.

I’ll go along with that. You are the Remington Steele of TV watching. I’ve always been loathe to let people choose their own monikers, but this one merits an exception. It correctly suggests a certain air of temerity as well as a sense of a job well done.

You know, if you switch off hands you can gain a stroke. Boo yah. Can I borrow one of your Traci Lords tapes?

Just wanted to check in and thank **KneadToKnow** for starting the weekly “24” discussion threads.  
If you thought last year was good, just wait till you get a load of this year. Or should I say, this day. It **ROCKS.**

Oh, and Jack has amnesia and Kim’s been abducted by aliens.  
Really. I swear!

Thanks, **BiblioCat**. Credit where credit is due, though: **Munch** came up with the idea last season for the season finale. I’m just the **Kneady** -come-lately who had the idea to turn it into a weekly series. 🙂

Two questions:[ol][_]Did they use an anti-gravity ray to abduct her?[_]How could you tell?[/ol]😃

Nah, she went peacefully after Tony Almeda (who was revealed as the Alien Overlord) zapped her with a Mind Control Ray Gun. 😃  
Seriously, this is me all through each episode: :eek: :eek: :eek:

And after each episode ends: AAGGHHHH! Now I have to wait 7 whole days till the next one!!! AAGGHHHH!  
You definitely have the right idea; watching it all in one sitting. This week-by-week crap is making me crazy.

Yeah, but then it’s over much too quickly. I watched Seaosn one over four days and it was over way too soon. Watching it weekly, the excitement and suspense are great enough, IMO, to sustain interest over several months. Kudos to them.

It’s already out on R2, and if you ask nice they’ll trade in the last disc for one with the uncut version of the final ep on it - the one US TV didn’t show.

Ironically, despite downloading the last 10 eps of 24 S1 to watch it all weeks sooner, I still haven’t got past 7pm and the UK is now showing S2. I wonder how that’s going to work - “I’m Federal Agent Jack Bauer, and today is the second-longest day of my life”?

Mind you, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was invalided off the CTU after S1; 19 hours and he hasn’t gone to the lavatory _once_…

Yeah, I’m missing the dates. I noticed afterwards, but they won’t let you edit posts.

Which is not safe to read for anyone reading this thread. Major unprotected spoilers about 6 posts in.

Just a quick note that Kim Bauer has a wonderful casting role in _Old School_, playing the teenage daughter of Luke Wilson’s boss. No nudity, but a fabulous ass shot.

There is a spoiler thread in **GQ** :

[“24” and the Thermostat…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=167130)

I’ve reported it to the mods and asked that they either add a “spoiler” warning to the title or spoiler tags to the message itself, so let’s keep our reaction to this civil. 🙂 I think we all remember flared tempers last season, and there’s no reason to invite the mods to look unfavorably upon our normally harmless enterprise.

At least this person did not post to this thread.

Good pickup, buddy. Getting flagged off that thread is the second best news I’ve gotten today, after hearing that eagle 2 of 4 landed safely in Sweden. 🙂
