Let’s see, that would make Audrey…?
I don’t know that the recording is missing. I think next week when they go to play it, there will be silence…and then Chloe will say…“Hmmm. How strange. Luckily, I have it backed up here on my laptop”. There’s still a lot of stuff to resolve and only three hours to do it…unless the quest for bald guy becomes the focus for season six.
I would still like to know how Logan/Henderson/Cummings/Graham knew that Jack was still alive and that Chloe, Tony, Michelle and Palmer knew about it.
Funniest post on the whole brilliant thread!!! (Wiping coffee splat off expensive flat panel monitor!)
As soon as we saw the sappy scene with Jack and Audrey, telling each other it’s all over and they’re safe, I figured that Audrey is among the walking dead. I don’t know how, but I’m willing to bet she bites the green weiner sometime in this season.
I was thinking the same thing. I’d like to see a scene such as the following:
Karen Hayes: “What you do mean, ‘deleted’? Didn’t you make a backup?”
Chloe O’Brien: “Of course I did. What am I, stupid?”
Wait, Sec. Heller is still alive, and he’s heard it. I wonder if there’s any chance of his corroborating the fact that there was a recording?
No, it’ll be something like: “Wait, there’s a secondary encoding in the submatrix. Let me remodulate the encription algorithm. STOP STARING AT ME WHILE I WORK… OK, here it is.”
Great Chloe comment: If you job is to slow me down you’re doing it real well.
I think CTU needs to a “cone of silence” for all those secret conversation they have in the hallways.
Another one refuses to go quietly, etc. etc.
WAG, but I think that they are setting Heller up to be President for the next season. If so, and if he and Audrey tie the knot*, that will that make Jack Bauer the First Son-in-Law. Imagine Jack off on a covert mission, surrounded by Secret Service agents.
*I’m tellin’ ya, they should just name their first child Kal-El.
If you think about it, it is equally stupid for Miles to assume that he has erased the only copy. How does he know she hasn’t made a few thousand copies, posted them on some peer-to-peer network and her blog?
You know, the writers really should give Chloe a blog-- sort of like the diary that the “Lost” writers put on their website. What a great way to generate more interest in the show.
Ok, what happened to Aaron? Someone please spoil it for me, please? I was cooking dinner and on the phone with my gf at the same time. Both my grill and my gf were calling for my attention, however, I didn’t think I missed anything. Apparently, I did… :smack:
Oh, and didn’t it look like Jack had his hands between Audrey’s legs when he came to visit? Is that how you treat your woman after a particularly grueling day? Go straight to the garden?
How come Audrey was sitting around in the CTU trauma unit (Motto: We may save your life, but a mole or bad guy will come by and kill you anyway) in what looked like her own underwear? They don’t have hospital gowns? I would have assumed that she would have had a lot of blood on her.
He looked tied up and a little bloodied about the face. He was facing Logan and said something about how he’s not fit to be in office, a disgrace, etc. He was pissed.
I have convinced myself that that particular recording has neutron-inverted encoding, meaning that it can’t be copied. Trust me, that belief has GREATLY enhanced my enjoyment of the show, for the past 5 or 6 episodes.
Oh, and I’m normally not bothered by (and in fact don’t even notice) the infamous LA-geography time lapse, but this episode they drove from CTU to the middle of the desert in about 3 minutes. Although they also drove BACK in about 3 minutes, so at least they’re consistent.
(And didn’t the view out the cockpit window seem awfully full of lights for “the middle of the desert”?)
All that said, still a very good episode. The scene with Logan about to kill himself was EXCELLENT. Very good acting.
I agree on both these points.
I noticed the same thing. You mght be able to give them a pass, though, since there are places all over CA where you can almost draw a line between suburban sprawl and… nothing. Maybe there were just at the western edge of suburban expansion. Or maybe they just don’t care about believability on that point. I’m beginning to wonder if the writers are counting on these kind of “rolleyes moments” and purposely build them into the plot.
Well, to be fair, they did say the plane was landing on the 118 freeway. That sucker is at the north end of the San Fernando Valley, leading to Simi Valley. Here’s a map. I haven’t been down to LA for several years, but my recollection of that freeway is that it pretty much defines the edge of the LA metroplex. Assuming the freeways are all clear thanks to martial law, a CTU vehicle only needs to travel about 20 miles or so if CTU HQ is approximately in downtown LA.
My complaint about this show is its total lack of a sense of humor about itself. I can accept a plane landing on a freeway; why can’t we see the face of Jack or the pilot as the plane drifts into an HOV lane? Or why couldn’t Jack tell Bill, “Have Curtis look for a jumbo jet on the freeway–chances are that’s the one I’m on.”
Man, this annoyed me. Everytime the co-pilot pointed out the obvious, like the wings were about to fall off the plane or that you really can’t land on a 4000 foot stretch of freeway while going 400mph, Jack would overrule him with his pistol. I’m pretty sure physics doesn’t work that way.
I had the same thought about the budget – “Oh, they’re going to hit the overpass. Wait…this is a TV show not a major motion picture. Not in the budget.”
I got faked out at the beginning of the episode. I turned it on a minute too late and heard someone telling Audrey “We found him in the wreckage but he’s going to be OK.” For a moment I thought Fox had screwed me over and started the episode at 8:00 instead of 9:00. Then I remembered just how many loved ones Audrey had in peril on this particular day.
So Jack has about 400 different useful spy devices in his man-bag, but not a fake ID? Shouldn’t he at least have his driver’s license from the fake life he was living? If so, Curtis didn’t really need to bluff.
I can’t believe that Homeland Security boss could have dealt with Miles for more than 10 minutes and still trusted him. He was radiating weasel rays from his first appearance.
I like the the fact the presidend knows how to text. I wonder if you uses lots of cute abbreviations. R U L8? 1 4 3.
Who were those other guys with Bluetooth Bald Guy? Are they his fellow illuminati? I hope we get to see some real illuminati. That would be soooooooooo cool! Do they have a secret handshake and everything?
I wonder if they’re setting things up so that Logan stays on as president. I can see the openning scene from next season: “Jack, CTU Director Wormtongue needs to see you in his office immediately!”
