Let’s see, 3 floppies, 1.4MB each, that’s a 4.2MB email! :o
Is that the 24 1994 episode? with AOL ? 
[spoiler]
Just rewatched it. I had Misrembered it. The Goodbye! Frustration was dead on. Along with the “don’t pick up the phone”.
But, I didn’t think Geocities was around in 94 – through Prodigy no less. [/spoiler]
Wow. I soooo didn’t know this. Will be great to tell my Mom this, to get even for her asking me if it was “That Stapler Guy”.
That’s who I spotted him as. I didn’t realize 'til this thread he was the stapler guy.
I really don’t get how in a heightened crisies situation nobody at CTU told him to go back in the little room. Wouldn’t an interagency information request need to be approved by someone? Just 'cause he filled one out doesn’t mean he’d get what he was after, does it.
I’m mad at myself for typing this much about it because the whole storyline is my least faavorite of this season. There’s just so much about it that I absolutely do not buy.
Is Renee still in medical? Will she be reappearing before the day’s over?
One thing I have learned the hard way: do not try to predict a move on 24.
That said, I see the steam that’s been building in Chloe since Hour 1, plus the delayed return of Renee, to climax in one bodacious display of female ass-kicking and gunplay that will reverberate into next season, assuming they can keep Kiefer out of jail and sickbay.
He was also part of the standard underdog team in “Dodgeball”.
So I was just thinking more about the let-Kayla-escape-so-we-can-bomb-CTU ploy. And it appears that the agency that is CTU has not learned anything over the years. I mean, Kayle calls, saying, “My asshole lover who got me kidnapped just helped me escape, we grabbed a bad guy’s car and tried to take off, but they caught up and shot Talyn, I mean, Tarin. I got away in the car, though.”
Okay, fine. Great. Dandy. CTU’s response?
What they should have been smart enough to do:
- “Okay, Kayla. We’re going to give you directions to a rendezvous point, where we will send a CTU vehicle with agents to meet you the moment you arrive. Follow these directions precisely – we are tracking your progress, and we’ll talk you through it all, including how to recognize the CTU team that will meet you. You will park the car you’re driving, and transfer to the CTU vehicle – we’ll bring you in.”
What they DID:
- “Okay, Kayla. Just drive that stolen bad guy’s car, which we have NO IDEA WHAT IT MIGHT BE CARRYING, into our secure facility.”
That’s why Jack is needed. Someone has to be the least boneheaded of the bunch. At least they are finally listening to Jack the first time he says something. Only took seven seasons.
But remember: 24 debuted in, what, 2001? And each season has taken place at least two or three years after the previous season (they’ve gone through, what, four presidents so far?) So this season has got to take place in at least the year 2020, probably at least 2025. By rights, Jack should have a flying car at his disposal. A 100GB thumb drive is probably what you get in the dollar discount bin.
… take a right at the random guy claiming to be a PO and talk to either the lady who’s too worried about herself to do her job, or the guy using the drones to look at naked women.
I agree that the parole officer situation is just bafflingly insanely stupidly unbelievable. I’m still enjoying the rest of it, though, and the twist with the escape was nicely set up.
I notice that she somehow did not ask for his ID… maybe he’s not a real parole officer, but instead is a super-infiltrator-guy of some sort.
Yeah. That is a good and valid point. This season of 24 is not taking place in 2010.
*Then again, Events no longer occur in real time, an Hour in 24 is 44 minutes. So it’s probably 2011. 
While Fox has not initially announced the fate of 24, there are some indications about the plans.
casting call for the role of a U.N. secretary general on 24 went out to talent agencies this week and included an advisory: “These are the final episodes, so if some of your name people would like to do something on the show, this is the time for them to do it.”
Say it ain’t so!
It ain’t so.
But I’m just saying that because you asked.
Um, pick all the holes you like but a 100GB thumb drive is plausible because they’re currently manufactured and available to purchase. Actually, why not go for the 256 GB version?
Am I being whooshed?
Wow really? I had the same reaction as everyone else. I don’t think I’ve ever really seen one larger than 16 gigs at a store. Heck, I don’t know why you’d need a thumb drive to be even 4GB in size.
