24 Discussion

Ok, so did anyone here watch 24 last night? If so, does anyone know who the guy was that played the VP of Security for McLennan-Forster? I can't remeber what other shows or movies I've seen him in.

Other than that, I thought last night's show was pretty out in left field. They need to start coming back to reality a little bit or they may just lose some credibility.

Yeah, an EMP in the building.. that was a little far fetched. But, having Michelle come back at the end was predictable, IMHO.

Is this the guy?

I didn't remember his name.

Well it was a unit being "tested" for the military, but I don't think it would be in an office building, especially their headquarters.

Scott Horowitz | March 8, 2005
Being that close to it would have incapacitated Jack. And one that big would have taken out more than just 9 city blocks.

Mike Eberhart | March 8, 2005
Yeah, that was the guy. Thanks.

I have too much time on my hands.

EMP will fry anything with an IC... like the power supply for the building, computers, etc. flashlight is simple enough to work.

Mike Eberhart | March 8, 2005
Yes, I have to agree with Dave. I highly doubt that they would have something like an EMP bomb located in their headquarter's building. They would have a seperate test facility located somewhere else for something like that. Also, I don't know if you all saw the previews for next week, it really looks like they are going off the deep end with the Defense contractor story line. We'll see if it gets any better. I'm still hoping. At least they ended the dreadful Erin Driscoll/Driscoll's daughter storyline.... :)

Scott Horowitz | March 9, 2005
Agreed. Every season they seem to end a major plot line half way through and then start another.

Well after 3 seasons, we know there are a few things that have yet to be revealed:
What's Jack's fatal-flaw this season? In season 1 it was his daughter, in season 2 it was his depression over dead wife and estrangement from daughter, and last season it was the smack.

Who is the big bad guy this time around? Season 1 it was Dennis Hopper, season 2 it was "Max" (and we haven't learned anything about him except he was Peter Kingsly's boss), and last season it was Stephen Saunders. It seems that they reveal the big bad around halfway through the season.

The last question we have to ask, when is hot lesbian psycho serial killer Mandy going to come back?

Mike Eberhart | March 9, 2005
Dave,
I was wondering the same thing about Mandy. She has to pop up eventually. Plus, I really want to know about this mysterious "Max" that's out floating around on his yacht. He's got to be tied into this somehow. I WANT SOME RESOLUTION!!

Scott Horowitz | March 9, 2005
Maybe the bad guy is someone at McLennan-Forster? Maybe it's Habib Marwan?

Mike Eberhart | March 9, 2005
Obviously Habib is a bad guy, but he's not the ultimate bad guy. He works for someone above him. Hopefully it will be revealed in the next few episodes.

David Mitzman | March 9, 2005
Well "max" wasn't revealed until the last few episodes of season 2, and also we know Mandy is a contract killer. Remember in season 1 when Ira Gaines asked Mandy "are you still up for some work this summer" or something along those lines. Right now, the Mclennan-Forster top guys are theoretically bad because they are trying to cover their own asses even though they had nothing to do with the whole situation.

Scott Horowitz | March 9, 2005
Will Paul Raines die, Audrey get really upset, and that is what gets Jack this season?
