Didn’t anyone else question why Wormtongue would help the prez?
It seemed a little weak that he would do so just because he’s a weasel and that’s what weasels do.
And I can’t believe the prez was saved by the bell (or phone) again. If he survives this he should really go buy a lottery ticket.
Sure, it can. You just need to route it through the deflector dish.
Or that some nobody underling from DHS/CTU could whip out the ol’ cell phone and actually be on the line with the president within a few seconds? That’s like assuming that my mailman could get the president on the phone.
Here’s the thing that I don’t understand (other than why they didn’t play it for everyone and their brother rightaway) (or why they didn’t make several copies, soft copies on servers and hard copies on disks immediately):
They get the file and immediately say “Chloe, we need you to modify this one-of-a-kind, extremely important, incriminating to the highest level of government, digital recording. Just go ahead and tweak sound levels, clean it up, and put an “authentication stamp” on it. Just take this file and run amuck!
Further, how would Chloe do this without pulling it down to her computer?
Further further, if she was working from the recorder itself, wouldn’t she have noticed immediately when Miles deleted/tampered with the thing?!
I mean, c’mon, make an effort, folks!
I was thinking during the show that it’d actually be a twist if he DIDN’T do that and remained loyal. I would have been surprised.
Jack asked about Audrey’s condiition, but he seems to have forgotten that he left Hot FLOTUS Aid bleeding to death in a hotel room a few hours ago. Won’t someone please rescue Hot FLOTUS Aid?
On a side note, I watched Good Night and Good Luck this weekend. It was interesting to see Aaron and the VP in it (as well as creep-o from Prison Break).
I’ll ask one for the ladies here that are concerned about it…
What happened to Audrey’s jacket?
Wasn’t it inferred that Henderson killed her when he went to get te recording?
They’ve also completely forgotten about the banker’s wife whose still bound and gagged in her house.
Actually, I thought she and the kid lived. Of course, they would go ahead and make another call for an ambulance with enough time for him to get away. I guess that Henderson and the cadre have a lot of faith in plausible deniability.
Yeah, and her husband’s dead. If 24 were to have a 24 hr epilogue, I bet her story will end somewhere around 9 am the next day.
And, WTF about Aaron:
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. How did I miss this? I had the episode on Tivo, and promptly erased it after the show (I didn’t think I missed anything :smack: ) When did this happen? Damnit woman, I told you not to call me during 24!
The scene with Aaron didn’t happen during the episode. It was in the scenes from next week.
That’s totally plausible compared to the * Terrorists * calling the President and getting him on the line earlier in the day. This must be the first President with an 1-800 number.
I mentioned that to Mrs. Plant.
“They took the freeway…they are going to land on the freeway.”
I guess they freeway doesn’t go through the desert, right? 
Because he’s a moron?
Don’t digital recorders record to either a micro HDD or a flash card? Can a magnet wipe a flash card?

When she went to meet with Miles there were only two possible intelligent respones - meet him with a security team or meet him with Chloe’s stun gun.
She chose neither.
Tsk tsk. Now some people are going to die…again.

All the ones that I’m familiar with use flash memory, though I suppose they might be some that use a micro hard drive.
No.
Going through the desert on the route they were on, the only freeway they should have sign would have been SR 14, but that is pretty windy. (As in twisty!)
SR 118 is the Ronald Reagan Freeway and is a patriotic place to land. As I grew up in the shadow of that freeway, I have a hard time thinking of any stretch of that freeway long enough where you wouldn’t hit an overpass. The way it was described, the plane was landing heading east and came up just short of the Balboa overpass (and there is such a thing). But the next overpass is at Louise Ave and that’s closer than 4000 ft.
Simul-snorf/Band name!
Haha… now that you say that it seems funny to me that the president told Miles “I’ll text you my PRIVATE number”. Like it’d be easier to contact him that way.
At least he didn’t say “I’ll text you my private number on Cingular wireless”. Actually, it might be funny to have product placement in 24…
Yeah. She clearly doesn’t have any idea what a slimeball he is. I know he’s spent a lot of time kissing her ass, but she’s not real perceptive if she couldn’t figure out what a scuzzbucket he was. I kept yelling at her to just put him into holding. His blondie friend could go with him. Just keep him out of the way for a couple hours. But no. Karen decided to trust the little reptile.
No, it was implied.
I need a new Coke Zero - all the taste with zero calories. You’ll just have to trust me. I need it right now, or MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE!
