So am I a sucker for even momentarily envisioning Jack and Kate and Yasmine each making the other two whole again as a family at the end of all of this? I mean, an upbeat ending for this show?


Looks like the pres has a big meeting in Wembley next week.

I see a guy like William Devane (President GoBoom) and often wonder why he is just a TV star.
Who makes the decisions that one guy like Tommy Lee Jones makes movies and another (like Devane) stays on TV.

I just discovered tonight that President Heller played Kelly Leak's Dad in Bad News Bears.

When he was standing midfield at Wembly, he should have let out a Let Them Play! before getting droned.

some of the "true believers" think that it's a sign that chloe hacked the video feed (think about the clip in the promo for next week of lady droneheart's kid saying "they can see everything we see!") and that she hacked their screens to make it look like they done blew up the president. obviously the rest of the cabinet/world would have to think he's dead so she lives up to her word and junks all the drones (....yeah right) --- therefore the lack of a silent clock is a wink wink nudge nudge to the viewers that prez heller very well might just be alive.

anyways, beyond that i'm willing to bet that one of the !!!!!!SWERVE!!!!!!!s this season is that eventually droneheart will either live up to her word and/or be subdued and it'll seem like the day will be saved, but then chloe's obviously-so-not-evil boss dude will somehow get control of the drones and end up being the eventual-final-boss.

time will tell.... and yeah i also want to mirror the sentiments of those in this thread who say that the season has been really nice by tossing out there that it just feels right when 24 is on tv, no matter how predictably cheesy and formulaic it might be at this point in its long and now reanimated run.

i'd love to see what they could pull out of their ass for a movie, personally.

I've only watched the first two hours of the season so far, but I wasn't impressed. Homeland covers this ground so much more convincingly.

But, Homeland is so damn serious and 24 is much more fun.

It's like the difference between your posts and mine. Sure, you might learn something by reading yours but mine are far more entertaining.

Don't care for the storyline decision.

That said, tonight's episode: Happy Landings!

I've been on the fence about this season, but after tonight? Holy shit! So many twists. It was awesome. Can't wait to see where the last 2 episodes go from here.

Seems like a lot to wrap up with only one hour left.

It wouldn't be that hard to argue that the most crushing thing ever seen on this show, from any season ever, is William Devane's final conversation/monologue with/to Stephen Fry.

Tonight's episode: Everything Was, Is, and Will Remain Fucking Miserable Forever

(until the movie where Kate saves Jack ... maybe)

Kate really dropped the ball.

Episode should have ended before the skip.

I didn't care for the ending. I expected to be on the edge of my seat.
