Will the ghost of Curtis lay some magical hands on Charles Logan and raise him from the dead?
Steve LLamabutcher on March 19, 2007 at 8:54 PM
Let me just say how pissed I am that for some reason my DVR didn’t pick up Prison Break tonight, and I didn’t remember it was on until half way through. I don’t know if some sort of glitch happened because it was off the air last week, but this is extremely annoying. Hopefully they’ll post the episode online quickly though, as they post full recent episodes normally.
RightWinged on March 19, 2007 at 8:56 PM
Season 3, Disk 6 arrives from Netflix tomorrow. Don’t think I’m ever going to catch up.
I’m still lamenting what Jack did to Ryan Chappelle.
PastaKeith on March 19, 2007 at 9:05 PM
Once again, all that hate is going to burn you up, Mr. Vice President.
Slublog on March 19, 2007 at 9:13 PM
RW – it should be up by this time tomorrow. Even better, there’s only 1 commercial halfway through.
steveegg on March 19, 2007 at 9:13 PM
I’m still trying to wrap my brain around Rick Schroeder as G.I. Joe.
Jack.
Jack Deth on March 19, 2007 at 9:18 PM
He did have a life-sized GI Joe back in the Silver day.
steveegg on March 19, 2007 at 9:21 PM
RATS! I’ve been watching series 5 and on the last show….NoW!!! I hear there’s no Audrey??!!
jatfla on March 19, 2007 at 9:27 PM
Let’s nuke the open desert? Ummm yeah that’ll show em. And along their border, so the other country will be happy too. What are these writers thinking?

No man, I’ll bet you 3 pennies that she’s in a Chinese prison.

Just took away Nadia. I’m betting the mole isn’t Nadia. It’s Milo.
nailinmyeye on March 19, 2007 at 9:33 PM
So it hasn’t been shown?? The story line has just appeared?
I bet the Muslim girl is innocent.
jatfla on March 19, 2007 at 9:34 PM
“The bomb will drop over San Francisco in 20 minutes.”
So…What’s the problem? Half of the US can agree with that.
Coronagold on March 19, 2007 at 9:35 PM
Milo’s a big jump, but yeah, it’s set up all wrong for it to be her. This feels like the poor innocent Jihad-Sympathizers in the detention center.
When they said SanFran, I had two thoughts. 1. Aw, let it go. and 2. Put a personally touch on the story to those that are against interigation and the military.

MirCat on March 19, 2007 at 9:36 PM
You’re on.
steveegg on March 19, 2007 at 9:36 PM
Either there is a mole or the terrorists cracked security. Cracking security means access to someone vulnerable and with CTU for a long time.
I’m betting that in the time when Milo was away from CTU the terrorist gained access. They will also find Milo’s station is compromised – due to his login.
Agrippa2k on March 19, 2007 at 9:37 PM
Its not milo. Milo got a drill in the shoulder!
Its not nadia either.. she was (obviously) set up.. by.. THE NEW GUY.
/dun dun dunnnnnn
triple on March 19, 2007 at 9:38 PM
Operation “Desert Glass” seems “over kill” now. But what about after a million dead in densely populated San Fran?
Agrippa2k on March 19, 2007 at 9:39 PM
Never trust a Russian Briton.
Coronagold on March 19, 2007 at 9:40 PM
Rope a dope. Don’t do it Jack.
Coronagold on March 19, 2007 at 9:45 PM
Actually, Milo got shot, and Morris took the drill in the shoulder. Notice that at the beginning of the episode they reminded the audience that Milo’s login was used for Nadia…a la Chloe figuring it out.
I am actually surprised that Chloe hasn’t turned suspicion to Milo yet.
nailinmyeye on March 19, 2007 at 9:46 PM
Ok, I think I just lost 3 pennies. I was thinking the DNA evidence was tampered with. And with the picture I thought he would see an absence of a tatoo that she got in college or something.
Another prediction that could be totally off base. The last season of 24 or the movie, will have CTU hunting Jack. Like trying to stop him before he kills the Chinese Premier or something.
- The Cat
MirCat on March 19, 2007 at 9:49 PM
This is waaaaay off topic; but will Jack ever plant a sincere, appreciative, sensuous kiss on Chloe? I know she’s not his type, but it would still be awesome. :~)
jatfla on March 19, 2007 at 9:49 PM
Rush Limbaugh beat him to it.
- The Cat
MirCat on March 19, 2007 at 9:58 PM
Interesting. That would be amazing…but I think that the downside would be that it would pit Jack against Americans, which seems to me to be either highly unlikely, or unpopular, given that Jack is the ultimate patriot. The Chinese chasing Jack, and him taking them all on…that would be payback.
Why in every single season is the Vice President a prick? Season 2 the VP had Palmer removed, I can’t remember season 3, season 4 the VP was Logan, who then became president, and season 5 the VP was ultimately a good guy, but a prick nonetheless. And now this guy who looks for any reason to nuke the middle east…he seemed actually disappointed that they found the drone, and it didn’t explode.
nailinmyeye on March 19, 2007 at 10:03 PM
I really appreciate the fact that absolutely anytime someone’s asked about a timeline (like just now when Warden Norton was asked how long until the submarine would be in position), they respond in episode- or season-centric terms, like “Within the hour” or “By the end of the day”.
flip on March 19, 2007 at 10:03 PM
Could we at least see some belly slaps on Nadia? She is kind of cute.
Speaking of which, the VP’s blonde aide is pretty hot herself.
What I don’t understand with Milo is five seasons ago he was a junkie punk. How on earth did he get where he is now?
JammieWearingFool on March 19, 2007 at 10:04 PM
Wouldn’t a movie-length “24″ would have to be renamed “2″? Unless they actually made the movie 24 hours long… which would be simply spectacular. They could just throw in a scene every few hours where Jack excuses himself to the men’s room or sits down for a cup of coffee and you’d know that’s your periodic bathroom break.
flip on March 19, 2007 at 10:08 PM
A warning nuke. Heh.
fogw on March 19, 2007 at 10:08 PM
Hmmm, a 24-hour long movie.
steveegg on March 19, 2007 at 10:14 PM
Mole can’t be Nadia…WAY too obvious and CAIR probably has the lawsuit already written up just in case. I don’t think it’s Milo either. I *DO* think it may have something to do with them tho. Perhaps Nadia used a USB token or something at CTU(big HUGE security no no but hey, it’s TV) that she had been given by a friend at the local Mosque? Social Engineering 101.
Warning Nuke…hehehe…yeah. Let’s just drop a little 5kt tacnuke to let them know we are serious. What’s a few halflives among friends right? And those two headed turtles and calves with no lower jaws…don’t worry about those. We’re just assisting evolution.
Pilgrim on March 19, 2007 at 10:21 PM
Doom fook. The jihadis will obviously re-target the US nuke to Spain or somewhere similar.
Keeps ya guessing.
Coronagold on March 19, 2007 at 10:22 PM
Man…that one crept up on me. I was into Steveegg’s comment before it hit me. NICELY done. ;)
Pilgrim on March 19, 2007 at 10:23 PM
Open thread hugh? Well I’m a new papa as of Thursday!

(It’s just 2 minutes long y’all.)
Mojave Mark on March 19, 2007 at 10:24 PM
Well, since the hour long show is called 24, to be consistent wouldn’t a two hour movie be called 48?
(Yes, I realize that the entire season is supposed to be one whole day, but with your logic, they’d have to call the individual shows ’1′.) :-)
LegendHasIt on March 19, 2007 at 10:29 PM
MojaveMark…beautiful girl!! Your hair? and born on *my* birthday!!! Congratulations.
jatfla on March 19, 2007 at 10:42 PM
Congratulations, Mojave Mark! You have a beautiful family.
BlueStateBlues on March 19, 2007 at 11:14 PM
Gratz on the baby person.
- The Cat
MirCat on March 19, 2007 at 11:43 PM
Is anyone else a little pissed at how cartoonish and one dimensional the writers are making “US” look. I mean they have an awesome opportunity but give us Rick Schroder beating up on a girl cause he “likes it” and a psycho Vice President who just wants to bomb Muslims no matter what.
Frankly, I think the show jumped the shark when it turned out that it wasn’t really Muslims but SURPRISE a Crazy Russian Nationalist behind everything. I am just a little surprised to not see any other people picking up on any of this.
America1st on March 20, 2007 at 1:22 AM
Look, all of you need to realize something. Jack Bauer can fold the space-time continuum to traverse the length and breadth of L.A. in 4 minutes.
Compressing a 24 hour day into a two hour movie is child’s play to Jack Bauer.
Vinnie on March 20, 2007 at 1:22 AM
I dunno, doesn’t surprise me to see a crazy Russian linking up with Islamic terrorists to try to destroy the US.
Mojave Mark, beautiful baby. Congrats.
Buzzy on March 20, 2007 at 2:05 AM
Morris IS the mole!
I know he took a drill but he DID arm the nukes and his REAL name is Yasir Hamoudi.
He’s from of a small mosque in the basement of an Anglican church in a small, Saskatchewan town.
He infiltrated from Canada years ago and hooked up with Chloe.
Don’t let the English accent fool you. He’s a baddie.

Oh. A mole at CTU.
Now THERE’s a new idea.
Dumbest. Show. Ever.
Worst. Writing. Ever.
And yet I know exactly where I’ll be next Monday night.
Note to the show’s creators: more Jack, please. When Jack leaves the screen, this pile of dung becomes to laughable to watch. With Jack on the screen, I stop caring about how stupid it is.
Professor Blather on March 20, 2007 at 7:44 AM
Congratulations, Mark! She’s beautiful.
Slublog on March 20, 2007 at 8:43 AM
WOW! Beautiful, beautiful baby and wife. Congrats Mojave Mark!
silenced majority on March 20, 2007 at 8:45 AM
I like how no one warned the fire fighters and response teams that there was a goddamn NUKULER bomb on the drone.
“Um, guys just run to the plane, go there, ya.”
And Bauer just shot the guy coming out of the tv antenna station…maybe he was, like, an ACTUAL WORKER.
benrand on March 20, 2007 at 10:11 AM
I said the same thing to my wife!
Geez, he just killed some poor cable co. worker.

Mistahtibbs on March 20, 2007 at 10:21 AM
The movie could be called 2.4
allie on March 20, 2007 at 11:14 AM
Congrats, Mark.
steveegg on March 20, 2007 at 12:01 PM
“No man, I’ll bet you 3 pennies that she’s in a Chinese prison.”
The actress who plays her, Kim Raver, said in an interview last fall that she was still in the cast and that the producers of 24 were going to work around her other series, The Nine, which is now cancelled, it seems.
So the reports of her death are probably exaggerated.
georgej on March 20, 2007 at 3:33 PM
I was surprised that Jack decided he had to land the drone somewhere instead of just flying it into the Pacific or dumping it into the SFBay. There are miles of wetlands all along the Bayshore if he figured for some inexplicable reason that the drone had to be recovered.
