June 9, 2014 at 10:06 pmThis was a pretty good episode, and the CGI actually looked pretty good this week, (I know I’ve complained about it over the last few weeks.)
Next week’s episode looks great, and I’m shocked that Heller feels this desperate at this point to give himself up, (it doesn’t appear to be a ruse, but we also can’t tell much from the previews.)
I think Heller’s character is a lot like David Palmer, and I think he can’t handle the stress of being President like Palmer couldn’t, and I think that he might think giving himself up would just end all of the stress he’s had to go through as President…

June 11, 2014 at 8:22 amSeason 4: In the camp with Audrey, releases gas into the room.
Season 5: Drives off the cliff to stop being blackmailed
So maybe him coming up with an elaborate ruse with Jack may be a nice change of pace

June 9, 2014 at 10:03 pmAny predictions anyone? Steve Navarro is basically screwed now that we’ve learned that Jordan Reed is alive I think. And in the preview, Heller goes to Wembley stadium & Margot spots him via the drone. Is it possible the US / UK military has another drone in the sky which has an air-to-air missile launcher which should intercept and destroy a Hellfire missile from the Vanguard? Like when the one failed in the first/second episode of S8.

June 9, 2014 at 10:04 pmPretty strong episode. Only criticism is that the explosions did look a little fake. And I would’ve liked to see a bit more of the devastation after blast at the hospital.

June 10, 2014 at 11:16 pmA way too short, overly simplified personal opinion: We’re all citizens of the world– you make more future friends when you help those who can’t help themselves. That builds you allies. But when you have the resources to provide aid and you don’t, you are just fueling anti-American rhetoric around the world and those who do not have what you do, who grow up without the options this country does, will grow to hate the U.S.. Obviously, there are some situations that are so ripe with corruption that it’s tough to see how it could ever be of any benefit to get involved. I’m not saying that I think it would be a great idea for us decide tomorrow to befriend North Korea. I’m saying that American soldiers sign up to defend this country and the best way to defend it is to serve not just the country but the world. Soldiers are going to die, sadly, no matter where you send them, so sending them for just causes that could benefit humanity as a whole gives their deaths (and service in general) the noble purpose it deserves.

June 11, 2014 at 3:51 amIf you ask me, it’s Palmer who was reckless. For the sake of the narrative the terrorists almost always keep their word, but counting on that is extremely reckless.

June 11, 2014 at 11:00 amNothing is ever “just” a tv show or a book or a film– it’s a reflection of the cultures and world we live in. That’s the whole point of art in the first place– for people to express themselves and open up a dialogue with others. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about The Mona Lisa or The Big Bang Theory, it all has something to say.

June 12, 2014 at 6:42 pmI understand that interrupting a lively discourse on the quality of CGI and whether Navarro is a mole for a comment on the real world may get uncomfortable especially if it’s a viewpoint you disagree with or it devolves to a personal attack.
But here no one felt uncomfortable.

June 14, 2014 at 6:39 pmHonestly tho, its no chance this assassination happens. A line from ep 24 of S8 and the line from the first ep of this season kinda ruins it. If a sitting president is killed on foreign soil, it’s grounds for a war. They don’t have enough time for a war.
24Nathan
June 15, 2014 at 7:28 pmIf, somehow, a war is started though, it doesn’t have to end with Day 9. We all know the writers are going to give the series some closure, but I am very confident that they won’t end the story…so they have a chance to come back and add on if they want to, be it with more Jack Bauer or a Kate Morgan spinoff.

June 11, 2014 at 3:34 amWas just listening to a podcast (BauerHour) where they were discussing how Heller agreeing to her terms and offering himself up isn’t actually a thing that Margot expected to happen, so did she even have a plan in mind for what to do if that DID happen?
Now I’m wondering if Heller’s calling her bluff precisely to try and throw her off her game, make her second guess her plans, have her scramble to come up with a new plan, and in the process make her vulnerable, which could make her easier to catch. Margot’s a control freak of the highest order, and so far she thinks she’s got total control of the situation. Heller agreeing to her terms is a total curveball.
We see in the promo that she goes to the trouble of facial recognition, because she just can’t quite believe that he’s seriously giving himself up, because the US President giving himself up to a terrorist to be exploded on foreign soil is insanity. She was probably expecting a decoy, expecting this to be a setup, but nope, there’s the real deal Heller standing there alone, out in the open, ready to be targeted.
She probably had her smug, “I know that wasn’t really you, and because you tried to scam me, more people will diiiiiiieeeeee,” speech ready to go, but now she can’t use it. Let’s be real, her endgame isn’t actually to simply kill Heller. Girlfriend has multiple drones with multiple missiles and has picked out multiple targets…she really wants to blow half of London up with drones and have Heller pegged with the blame (to make up for him NOT being pegged with blame for the drone strike that killed her husband). If anything, her ideal endgame involves him remaining ALIVE so he can take the fall for all the people she’s gonna kill. Her real satisfaction that she wants from all this is seeing Heller destroyed, and the way that’s super fun for her is if she gets to watch all the news reports that tear him to shreds and she can imagine him sinking to suicidal depths of suffering, guilt and despair. So I’m not convinced she’ll actually shoot him at Wembley, I think him calling her bluff will be the catalyst to her composure and plans unraveling, which is exactly what he’s hoping to achieve.
If he does actually die in the process though, I think that’s a risk he’s willing to take. Being willing to sacrifice himself isn’t a new thing for Heller.

June 11, 2014 at 1:58 pmDay 4: Heller is taken hostage by jihadists, who put him on a video that everyone on the internet sees wherein they begin to hold him on trial for his past war crimes. President Keeler, looking to save U.S. face, orders a drone airplane to bomb the compound where Heller is being held in order to kill him and the terrorists before any more damage can be done. A deadline is introduced– Jack has a very small window of time to rescue Heller before the drone strike. He manages to do this.
Day 9: Heller is taken hostage by a no-win situation presented to him by crazy jihadists whose leader does so in a video that everyone on the internet has seen. She wants to hold Heller responsible for his past crimes of killing her husband and apparently innocent people, on top of children, in a drone strike. President Heller, looking to save U.S. face, decides to sacrifice himself to be killed in a drone strike before any more damage can be done. A deadline is in play but they are running out of time. President Heller will then ask Jack to assist him in handing himself over, instead of coming to his rescue. If this scenario is both the same and the opposite of Day 4, how Heller began on 24 is likely then how Heller ends on 24.
This is really the only poetic way for Heller to die.

June 10, 2014 at 7:41 amWhoever it is, it’s someone who knows the movements of the police, knows how to contact Chloe, but they’re not in her address book of contacts. Is there any way Audrey could fit that bill? Admittedly, my brain is probably going there in large part due to the fact that I’ve been re-watching Day 5 when Chloe and Audrey were being sneaky to help Jack without McGill finding out. Further down the page in the discussion for this ep, people are talking about how underused Audrey and Chloe have been in Day 9. Wouldn’t it be cool if it turns out that Audrey’s been secretly keeping tabs on everything and is now reaching out to warn Chloe, because Jack needs Chloe and Audrey wants to be on the ball to help Jack if she’s able to, (without being blatant about it because of her pesky husband). It’d be like a Day 5 throwback if they have Audrey and Chloe working together again. In her current position though, could Audrey feasibly have access to the movements of the cops in order to warn Chloe?

June 10, 2014 at 5:15 pmIf Ron Clark has been giving information to Audrey on the sly, then Audrey not only knew about Jack in London hours prior Mark being forced by circumstances to tell her, but she knows about the rendition order. Which means when she went to see Jack and eskimo kissed and said she should have defended him more, she was not doing anything to stop Mark from taking a rendition order to her father that would send Jack back to Russia. She was seeing Jack and encouraging him to believe there were still feelings there (and there probably are) in order to begin playing him the way she’s been playing Mark their whole marriage. She could have married Mark to make him into the perfect fall guy should she ever be close to being caught– she gets info from Ron on Mark’s shady stuff, in order to have something to hold over his head– evidence that would build a case against Mark’s character if any of it were ever to come to light.
Right now, we’re being asked to assume everything is still on the morally up and up with a woman involved in a conspiracy to keep a mentally unstable man in office, effectively creating a shadow presidency behind him. She didn’t bat an eye at the coverup of the drone strike that killed Margot’s husband. What happens when Jack finds out this stuff? Forget Mark’s “this is not the man you once knew.”
This is not the Audrey we once knew.
AgentRez
June 10, 2014 at 8:39 pmI think it is possible (although less likely after the reunion scene in 9x05) that Audrey knew about Jack being in London before Mark told her. I noticed that she did not seem as shocked as I would have expected when Mark told her and Heller about Jack in episode 4. However, even if Audrey somehow knew more than she let on, that doesn’t mean she has some sort of nefarious motive. It’s possible that Jack somehow contacted her after he first learned about the threat to Heller because she was the only one inside the government he trusted, but he told her to keep the fact that they had contact secret because he didn’t want to get her in trouble or put her in danger. This seems less likely but not impossible after the last few episodes.
After the past few episodes, I am less and less convinced that there is any shocking twist related to Audrey. I just don’t think that’s her purpose this season. I think she’s mostly there to up the emotional drama on the show, between seeing Jack again and now with the possibility of her father handing himself over to a major terrorist. Between answering unresolved questions about her back story, her father’s plan to hand himself over to Al-Harazi, her reaction when she finds out that Mark forged the rendition order, reconnecting with Jack again (hopefully!), and maybe lobbying her father (assuming he survives) not to put Jack in prison or hand him over to the Russians, there is plenty for her to do in the next 5 episodes without them having to turn her into a terrorist because they have nowhere to go with her character.
Your theories would make a great fanfiction, but I would be very surprised if you are right about the actual show.

June 15, 2014 at 7:47 pmSaunders was presumed dead and left behind only to be held captive and tortured for two years until he was released. I don’t see how this parallels to Audrey’s story at all, except for being held captive in a foreign country. But the US didn’t know about either of them being alive until Saunders threatened the release of the virus, and Cheng used Audrey as bait to have Jack give him the FB subcircuit board.
AgentRez
June 10, 2014 at 8:54 pm1) As I mentioned, Mark said what he said to Ron about how “as long as she lives, she will never hear the name ‘Jack Bauer’ again” AFTER he walked into their suite and mentioned Jack’s name. At that point Ron did not seem to know about Audrey’s history with Jack or that Mark was trying to keep it from her.
2) Ron did not walk into the Audrey’s dressing room. He said it from the front room, and it didn’t seem like it was loud enough for her to hear it, although they did linger on her for a moment after Ron and Mark left the room. But Mark didn’t seem to think she heard it, because he probably would have fired Ron or been more angry at him if he did.
3) From what they said last night about Heller’s condition being a secret and him possibly not being able to finish his (first) term, it seems unlikely that he had been diagnosed yet with Alzheimer’s at the time he ran for president over 3 years ago. So that means she couldn’t have conspired to get him to run for president knowing that he might ultimately be unable to carry out his duties and she might have to help behind the scenes. Plus, I believe Heller when he said that he would resign if he couldn’t handle it and was putting lives in danger, and Audrey probably knows that he would do that. Plus, where is your evidence that she or Mark is conspiring to keep Heller in office if he can’t handle it? All she said last night was a feeble “I thought you wanted to finish out your term?” She didn’t push him to stay in office or do anything behind his back to make that happen. So thus far, there is 0 evidence regarding your theory that she is conspiring to create a shadow government.
Mary
June 10, 2014 at 10:17 pm2) Audrey did not hear it, agreed. But he was walking into the front room of Audrey and Mark’s dressing room/bedroom area in the suite. I’m not saying he walked into her bathroom while she was taking a shower here and was all “Hey Mrs First Lady, nice ass and while I’m at it, I have an update about the Bauer situation!” :) I’m saying this is the only scene we’ve had so far in a room more traditionally private than the offices area or that room with the couches where they prepped Heller for the speech. Ron thought nothing of heading to that area and maybe it was just because he didn’t see Mark in his office and needed to deliver him the urgent Bauer situation update. But maybe it was because he knew that’s where Audrey would be. Maybe why Ron looks so startled when Mark appears is because he didn’t know he’d be there and he covers for it by looking chastised at Mark shushing him to keep the secret. It sticks out a bit for me because this whole bit with Ron was not necessary when Mark was always going to deliver the Audrey backstory conversation and the “as long as she lives…” bit. There’s no reason for Ron and Audrey to have this interaction unless it means something later. Could be nothing but it could very easily also be something.
3) That wasn’t at all what I was saying about Heller and the Alzheimer’s. I believe Heller was going to resign, too, and that the Alzheimer’s was a relatively new development– less than a year, probably more like a few months from what it sounded like when Audrey and Mark were talking about it in the premiere. But the fact that Audrey has known for months that her father is ill and is actively trying to keep it a secret means that she *is* conspiring to keep him in office and her and Mark dealing with it in this way where they are influencing his decisions *is* a shadow presidency. That is what I meant– that Audrey is already doing wrong in the eyes of the law and the fact that it’s her dad doesn’t make any difference. What do you think Jack is going to say when he finds out Heller has Alzheimer’s and that Mark and Audrey have been covering it up? Obviously, he’ll be empathetic towards Heller’s struggle but do you think it’s going to make Jack rush to trust the Boudreaus when he learns of that? What if he finds out that Audrey isn’t all that upset about the coverup of the drone strike that killed Muhammed Al-Harazi? She thinks Mark made the right call and she has such a non-reaction to it (no surprise) that it’s entirely possible that she also knew. But how do we not know for sure? Because Audrey sits back and lets Mark do all the dirty work here for the purpose of hanging him out to dry at some point, if things get hairy in the future.
All of this was shown in Audrey’s reactions to Heller giving the speech to Parliament. From the symptoms we’ve seen him exhibiting, Heller had at best a fifty-fifty shot of making it through that speech. He could have made his goal of securing the base without incident if they had followed Mark’s back-channel idea– and we’re talking not just Heller publicly embarrassing himself but damage done to the U.S. and the Republican party here. Major image problems that affect whether or not the most influential military base the U.S. has gets to stay in their hands. If you’re the Chinese, you don’t want Heller to get this base. Who argues in favor of everything with the strongest outcome of Heller not making it through the speech? Audrey.
She’s willing to let her father publicly embarrass himself and she gets away with it by making Mark out to be the villain in the family– stop making choices for Dad, Mark! It doesn’t matter that he’s losing his damn mind so someone has to help him make some choices– the one choice that is right is the one I’ve decided on! Your logic makes no sense!
The real moment of truth is how she is when they’re prepping him for the speech. Audrey sits there and lets Mark push Heller into doing the speech by waiting until Mark has gone just that bit too far to tell him to back off. She sits there knowing that if she waits long enough that Mark cares enough about her father to try to force him to see the reality of the situation and he’ll not be nice about it because someone has to speak the truth here. When Mark challenges Heller, Heller re-dedicates himself to doing the speech. Mission accomplished for Audrey, who manipulated Mark into goading her father into doing the one thing Mark didn’t want him to do but Audrey *did* want him to do.
It’s also worth nothing that Heller’s Alzheimer’s itself is suspicious. It’s “progressing faster than the doctors had anticipated”, according to Audrey herself. That’s convenient because if Heller had not been already dying by the time this day came around, maybe he wouldn’t have chosen to sacrifice himself. Maybe he would have chosen not to negotiate with terrorists. You can’t really be sure if he’s healthy but you can be sure if he’s sick. And the people involved in the production of the show keep pointing out Heller’s pill bottle, on top of a scene designed just so Jack could see it and see Heller forget something right after it. That has to come up at some point, whether or not Heller makes it through the next episode.
Plus, it’s just good irony. Remember Audrey with Paul in the hotel room on Day 4, when she tried to pretend like she wanted to get back together with him? Even before she became a mole she was a pretty great liar. It would be ironic if after all the hell she went through, she then turned around framed her second husband to be a terrorist after her first husband died after being accused of being one. Remember on Day 5 when Audrey was accused of being a mole and then wasn’t? Yeah. Audrey having become a spy for an enemy country because of the side effects of a life in the orbits of her father and Jack Bauer is the story, not Audrey sitting around for (suspiciously) only about a scene a week, during which she is either crying or being kind of terrible to the guy she married because doesn’t that make her an awesome woman? Let’s give it up for Audrey Boudreau, who married a man she doesn’t love, whom she treats terribly for doting on her and her father, who is fine with any government coverup that benefits her and best of all– the true gem– did not fight for Jack at all. She could have got Daddy to take Jack’s name off the designated terrorist list. She could have made it so that he could be with his home. She did not. Why does she deserve Jack again?
AgentRez
June 11, 2014 at 12:51 amRe. the terrorist watch list, we don’t even know if she knew about Jack being designated a terrorist, or that she didn’t defend him at the time. She said “I knew I should have defended you MORE,” which kind of indicates that she did defend him. But remember, she hasn’t seen Jack for years, she probably doesn’t know why he left her, and she might have found it hard to believe that Jack did those things but she had nothing to go on to prove that he didn’t (because, by the way, he did pretty much do what he was accused of). As far as she knows, she risked her life and almost died trying to get him out of China, and then when she came back sick he walked away from her. I think if anything he doesn’t deserve her, not the other way around.
If you have any doubt as to why she deserves Jack, rewatch the scene in episode 6x19, I think (11 PM on season 6), where Cheng explains how everyone in the government had given up on Jack and decided he was an acceptable loss – except for Audrey. She went against her father, her friends, and her government and risked her life to prove that the Chinese were holding him and try to get him out of there. And after everything the Chinese put her through, he walked away from her when she arguably needed him the most. Even if she knows what her father said to Jack, she would still have every right to be angry at Jack for leaving her…when she entered the room where Jack was sitting in episode 5, I half expected her to slap him, and I was kind of disappointed that she didn’t.
Chloe
June 10, 2014 at 10:07 pmAudrey is one of the very few main characters that experienced some of the worst trauma, and she’s still good. She’s there to remind Jack of who he is, and turning her would be pointless and unbelievable.

all the evidence and even an interview 2 days ago by kiefer points out to the fact that this is going to be the last season. and he said this season is about getting closure to whole series since they left everything just hanging there at the end of season 8. closure meaning most likely happy ending for jack. (i know in your opinion , this means just go to his daughter kim’s house and babysit her kids but for TV standard, it always the guy get the girl ) so i think Audrey is the happy ending for jack. that’s the main purpose of portraying mark as a bad person also(why it has to be Audrey’s hubby? why not someone else). jack’s love interest is the purpose of her being in the series.
24 has some of it’s formulas and character positions. for example,
A mole in CTU/ CIA
a bad guy in the white house sherry palmer/ mark
a love interest for jack terry/renee/audrey and so on..
so this time it’s audrey’s turn to play that love part.
even though you(mary) dont see it since your hate toward audrey blind your judgment, 90% of viewers saw the genuine feeling between these 2 in the reunion scene. it’s 2 risky to turn her bad and make a scene like as if jack tortcher her something since many people would think it’s not realistic and unacceptable. because i know a huge fan base who want to see these two end up together in the end. if you go to 24 social media sites , you would know. even these offcial sites are promoting these 2 as a couple. so in the worst scenario, even if jack /audrey not united in the end, i am pretty sure they wont turn her into terrorist. you wait and see , in 6 weeks time , ill come and say, look i say so.
while we are in the subject, i know you also think that Heller will die. to be honest , im 50/50.. not sure. but my question is , would they promote the scene in promo as if ” the president is just about to die” if he really going to die? it’s always when they promote and make people think like “ohh ok this is gonna happen”,we see the opposite is true. if he really gonna die, i dont think they will promote as if he is gonna die coz if he gonna die, it will be out of the blue. i think that’s the only concern. my instinct say he gonna die but the logic say he is not. will see
sprite
June 11, 2014 at 7:44 amAs for her seemingly cavalier attitude about the drone strike, though she’s definitely pragmatic my feeling about that was that she was simply trying her best to diffuse the tension building between her father and Mark. I also think that was smart writing in an emotional context because in her heart she was already betraying Mark because of Jack’s presence, was conflicted about it, and was grasping for a way to show loyalty to him, even if she wasn’t totally conscious of it. Therefore she supported him in that moment.

June 11, 2014 at 8:52 amAnd I will be really annoyed this so called ‘happy ending’ in this season becomes a reality via Jack wrecking a marriage just by showing up in London. Not to mention there isn’t really any build-up for any kind of happy ending in this season either. 24 has never ever catered to shippers and this season is one of the most unsuitable to cater for them.

June 11, 2014 at 11:42 amI very well might be wrong. It’s totally possible. But your argument for why I’m wrong boils down to you like Jack and Audrey and want them to get back together and so you have put the blinders on to any potential scenario where that might not be the case. I have to admit I chuckled quite a bit at you thinking that a happy ending on 24 means getting the girl. This is the show that turned that on its head in its very first season with Teri Bauer. Jack is cursed to never “get the girl”– the girls are lucky to escape with their lives.
Kiefer sums up Jack’s struggle really well in numerous interviews when he says that he can never fully win– he can save the President but he’ll lose his wife. How would you ever think the ending for Jack would ever be any different? Kim is, by Jack’s own words on Day 8, the “love of his life”. He’s colder and darker and lonelier because he’s been estranged from his family for four years, according to Kiefer in all these interviews. He’s spending the whole day running around with a woman (Kate Morgan) who looks like Kim and onto whom he’s projecting all this Kim-related stuff. It’s foreshadowing for Kim at the end of the day. No one will disagree that being with his family will make Jack Bauer happy so that’s the happiness he’s going to get. But if he gets his family, he has to lose something else. That something else, at this point, can only really be Audrey.
Mary
June 11, 2014 at 11:54 amAgentRez– Call it ridiculous if you want but how long did we spend on Day 1 thinking Nina Myers was just the office bicycle? Audrey would have a totally different agenda than Nina but this pitting two guys against one another thing and manipulating their opinions of one another is *awfully* familiar. The only difference is that Jack and Tony were friends and Mark and Jack had never met until this morning.
You could argue that part of Mark’s distaste for Jack comes from what Audrey has either hinted at to him or told him about. It has to come from somewhere and then you have Mark now scratching his head and looking around and wondering why, if this Jack Bauer guy was as terrible as Audrey said he was, why is Heller okay with chatting with him and letting him help? Why did Audrey go to see him? I thought this guy was so dangerous for my wife’s state of mind that I forged the President’s name and tried to hand him over to the Russians… then I met him and he was… a pretty nice guy.
Something? Does not add up here.
Mary
June 11, 2014 at 1:14 pmI know Audrey went to China for Jack. I’m asking what she’s done for Jack *since* China. Since she came back… since she was tortured using psychoactive drugs for months on end. Today, even. She argued that Jack should be spared by the Marines because he might be right about the threat but never makes a further case to her father that he should be allowed anything more than that. She stood by while her father sent Marines in to kill Jack and did nothing to stop it. Jack was brought to the hotel under arrest and will continue to be after this threat is over, unless someone gets him a pardon. Audrey? Did not plead a case in support of Jack. She went to see Jack and told him she should have defended him more. Yeah. She should have. Even after she goes to see him, she is not seen defending him. She still could have gotten his name off the designated terrorist list so he wouldn’t have had to run for the last four and a half years but she didn’t do that, either. Since Audrey came back from China, there’s not a single thing you can actually point to that shows her using her position for anything personally related to Jack, just stopping the immediate threat. Anyway you shake it, she works in the administration that designated Jack a terrorist and did nothing to stop it.

June 12, 2014 at 12:07 amThis is a the series end we talking about. not the season end. so yes the series end has to be meaningful. thats what Keifer said in the latest interview also. they brought back 24 to give closure for whole series since they had everything hanging there at the end of season 8. so there is gonnna be a meaningful probably happy ending after all.
there will always be people exist who ships couple as long as the word love and feeling exist in the planet. . you say 24 is not about love stories. yes i agree but love stotries do play a part in it. if not there will be no terry , renee, audrey. there would not have been any screen time invested in intense scene such as the one with audrey and jack. if you think love have no part to play in 24 then why the hell jack audrey reunion scene was promoted so heavily in 24 social media site and fox website. it’s due to the fact , whether you like it or not , there are many people enjoy these 2 together as much as they enjoy jack torturing the terrorists. i dont think you have any right to say what to expect or not to expect by a LAD fan in the series. and other thing , i dont say there will happy ending like jack and audrey going to get merried in the end or something like that. all i am saying is mark will be out of the picture and they will leave the door open for reconciliation between these 2 in the future.
remember thats why marks being portrayed as bad guy. even though you cant see it you wait and see. if mark/audrey marriage is going to end , it will not because of jack. it will be because mark’s stupidity and his shadiness.

June 12, 2014 at 9:39 pmAdrian told Navarro they had access to the systems and Navarro was surprised by this. Earlier in the day, Chloe told Kate Open Cell *didn’t* have access, and showed her how to give it to them. Maybe Chloe lied to Kate protect their source inside the CIA while Adrian was referring to that source without mentioning his name but they both meant Jordan?

June 9, 2014 at 10:18 pmLoved the heller stuff as well. I love how his health is really affecting the Main plot and isn’t just some silly side plot. It makes sense that heller would give himself up because in his mind he’s damaged and useless so he figures he mind as well do some good before his health completely deteriorates. The effects were a little fake looking but some explosions looked great!
Also who the hell tipped off the police to Chloe being there!? And who warned her to get out?
Love that we were all right about cross. However I’m not very fond that they seem to be textbook bad guys who will just kill Jordan without thinking twice.
I had one major gripe that I just can’t get past and that is how insanely ridiculous it is that, within 5 seconds of looking at a grainy black and white video of hundreds of people exiting the hospital, Margot is able to spot Simone and know its them Lol. Just very silly and laughable but I’ll forgive it because it lead to one of the coolest sequences ever in 24.
Overall incredible episode.

Mary
June 10, 2014 at 8:56 pmReferences to Teri make everything better. I love when the show continually reminds us of just how much her murder affected Jack and influenced every relationship (not just romantic) that he’s had since. Totally agree about that Graem scene in particular. I was even happy to see Graem and Phillip (and okay if I must, Marilyn’s) name in Jack’s file on screen a few hours back. It’s nice when they don’t just give us allusions to stuff that’s come before but sometimes flat-out reference it.
Ozgur
June 11, 2014 at 10:34 amWake me up when they bother to reference Renee Walker or Allison Taylor.
I can’t believe we get a mention of Novakovich of all people but not the two characters who actually started the whole revenge rampage thing in the first place.
Chloe
June 9, 2014 at 10:51 pmI also thought Heller was incredible and the definite standout tonight, and the scenes with Jack and Kate (who has definitely grown on me) in the hospital and in the car/drone chase were really great.
My only complaint would be that I feel Kim Raver and Mary Lynn Rajskub have been shockingly underused thus far. I really hope both Audrey and Chloe have more screen time in the upcoming episodes because I think they’re both fantastic in their respective roles.
But overall, really, really great episode. And next week’s looks even better :)

June 9, 2014 at 11:08 pmI couldn’t stand Kate at first (I thought she was too bland/blonde to be convincing as a field agent and I’m still pissed about Renee dying), but she has been GREAT in these past 2 episodes. And her scenes with Yasmin were really sweet :)

June 9, 2014 at 11:19 pmAs for Chloe, I am now a little suspicious. I don’t think she is involved with what Adrian is doing with the Chinese but I don’t think we can rule it out. I remember in season 7 when Tony sort of disappeared for several episodes and then when he came back it was hard to see where they were going to take his storyline, and then suddenly he suffocated Larry Moss to death. I really don’t think Chloe would be involved in something sinister but it is possible.
Chloe
June 9, 2014 at 11:27 pmI have a VERY bad feeling that Chloe may not make it to live another (another) day…
I hate to say this but she’s the only character that would kind of make sense to kill off at this point (Heller and especially Audrey are safe IMO), even though I sincerely hope they don’t.
AgentRez
June 10, 2014 at 12:09 amI also agree that Chloe could be in danger because she is the only returning character that it would make any sense to kill. I really hope they don’t kill her. There is no reason any of the 4 returning characters need to die.

June 10, 2014 at 9:22 pmIt’s kind of Chloe’s full-circle story: start off as the biggest rulebook follower in the history of mankind, spend a few seasons with Jack Bauer, become a pro-free information hacker. The current Chloe is inconceivable when you first meet her on Day 3. That’s not ridiculous, IMO– that’s a story. That’s a character developing from how they originally were. It’s no different than Jack standing there in the pilot, all dyed blonde like Kate is now, talking to Nina about how the agents he busted weren’t bad men, they just compromised once. Jack’s destiny from that moment is to eventually become a compromised man, which is achieved by the end of Day 8. Now, we’re seeing him with a woman who is like a version of himself and he’s trying to keep her from repeating some of the same mistakes, trying to help her along while he gets in touch with his younger self.
That kind of full-circle means they can’t ignore the repercussions of what’s happened in Jack’s life and Chloe and Audrey are the best examples of people who have been negatively affected. Jack, ultimately, has to get back to Kim and Teri. Start with a Kim and Teri on Day 1, end with a Kim and Teri on Day 9. They represent goodness that has thrived in his spite of Jack’s life. If we throw Tony in the mix in a couple of hours, that only can go up from here because Tony was the first of the influential voices (and perhaps the most influential voice) around Jack to fall victim to his life. Jack winds up with none of the love interests he’s had season after season– he ends up with Tony and his family. Audrey was never supposed to be from the start, IMO, and she’s stuck around this long because the more history she has with him, the more the weight of her betrayal, the more impact her story ultimately has. Chloe is a crapshoot. The difficult thing is that she doesn’t have a lot left to live for, so they could go a different route and instead of her betraying Jack, she dies as a result of this mission he’s brought her into. She could be the tragic death. Or she could just as easily wind up on his side. It’s kind of dependent on what happens with other characters, I think.

June 12, 2014 at 8:32 amThe only time he ever forcefully stood up for himself was the end of Day 6. And Heller stood in his way and backed him down and Jack recognized the futility of wanting what he couldn’t have even if it was the only thing that mattered. And everything he said to Heller regarding how shittily he had been treated and forgotten about by the govt in general and Heller specifically whom Jack had every reason to think would at least try and help him was/is still true.
So if Heller is going down, I would love to see– and I think for the sake of balance we need to see– a bookend moment when Heller goes out where he looks at Jack and makes him promise to take good care of Audrey and that he has a clean record and can return to try a piece his life together.

June 9, 2014 at 11:58 pm1) First and foremost, I feel everyone is undermining a minor, yet, possibly important subplot. WHO is Heller’s VP? Although this has been relatively unimportant in the past, if Heller gets eliminated in next week’s episode, someone else will have to call the shots. (How great would it be if Mike Novick or Tom Lennox stepped in? Haha).
2) Navarro/Cross/(Chloe?). — I highly doubt that Chloe would double-cross Jack — but anything is possible on 24. If anything, I feel she may have been involved with what Cross was doing PRIOR to Jack’s intervention, but a change of heart is now evident. Better yet, we’ll see what is to come in the upcoming episodes. I must also note that I am almost sure this season will see the end of Chloe/Heller/or Audrey’s days — but I assume not Audrey’s.
3) Jordan — At first a relatively unimportant, but not VERY significant character. I certainly hope that he makes it out alive, as I feel there is a whole lot more to the Kate/Adam Morgan subplot that we may have overlooked. Having said that, I’m sure that will be resolved by the finale.
4) The future — I am interested to see what others have to say about post-LAD. We know that the last episode of the season finishes where the day started in terms of hours. But having said that, what will happen in the time in between episodes 8-12? I think between these episodes, we will see a deterioration with the Margot plot and an increase with the Russia/China plots. Let’s face it, she was already starting to lose in this episodes.
Overall, I am more than happy with this season. Nobody has seen TV until they’ve seen 24.
PS — Heller, Jack, Navarro, and Kate have been unbelievable this season. Hopefully if we get a Day 10, the Kate/Jack duo will continue.
Best wishes, all!

June 10, 2014 at 4:28 pmThey’ve dropped a couple of hints with Chloe that all might not be as it seems. The first is that Adrian commented to her about all they’ve built in the last *six* years. It’s been four and a half years since Day 8. This means that Chloe was working with Adrian Cross and Open Cell while she was working at CTU: NY on Day 8, which actually fits in pretty seamlessly. What did she do at the end of Day 8? She got Arlo to mirror all of CTU’s systems to an outside server. She’s wanted by the CIA for the release of tens of thousands of government documents while working with Open Cell. Chloe stole that stuff and helped Adrian release them. Her being a mole on Day 8 also fits in with stuff like how she was pretending she had fallen behind while being a stay-at-home mom and hamming it up early in the day (banging on her keyboard, etc), she gets nervous when Renee shows up, worried that she’d be caught but then, lucky for Chloe, it turned out Dana was also a mole.
The other hint is that when Cross talks to Navarro, he keeps saying “we” and yet Open Cell is just the middle man for passing info. But there’s more than one person helping Cross. The most likely person this could be is Chloe. Then, think about how Navarro realized that Adrian had access to the CIA’s systems already. If they’re helping Navarro, they’d almost assuredly have to have access to get in and cover his tracks but if Chloe is in on helping Navarro, then she lied to Kate earlier today when she said they didn’t have access and got Kate to help her get it. (She would have had to lie about this in order to keep how she and Cross are helping Navarro secret.)
If the reasons for helping Navarro are personal– and they most likely have to be if Adrian Cross is involved because this doesn’t really seem like his bag, based on the rest of his personality– then Chloe could be helping him, working a bit against Jack in the process, and still not be a “villain” in the strictest sense.

Snagging Chloe was a massive win for him and his operation, no wonder he “loves” her.

June 10, 2014 at 12:10 amOn a related note, even though it feels extremely rushed, I do like where the Alzheimer’s storyline is going, and how it is effecting how much of the season plays out. I appreciate that Heller’s illness potentially going public justifies his decision to turn himself over, and that he would rather die a hero and save lives than simply resign after the bombs go off.

June 10, 2014 at 12:25 amWhat has me anticipating the rest of the season is figuring out where Jack’s mind is at. I’ve never seen him act this way before, and it actually had me questioning his motives for a quick second. “I’m sorry I shouldn’t have done that. I just hate these people.” I see this response two different ways. On one hand, it seemed like a rage came over him in that moment, and upon realizing how his actions might be perceived by Kate, goes over to her and apologizes in an true moment of honesty. On the other hand, I read theories on this very website concerning what Jack has really been up to for the past four years, and that it may not be as clear-cut as we think. Usually if he were to torture an enemy too hard to the point where he or she passes out, we can expect a “dammit” from Jack. Not the case here. It almost seemed like he didn’t want her to talk, and he shut her up to cover his own @$$. That he was somehow in cahoots with Margo in any way is preposterous to me, but I still thought that was an odd moment for him. It actually stands out more than anything else in tonight’s episode. I’m not saying I believe it, but I wanted to point it out and see what you all think.
Anyway, my overall thoughts: what a confounding episode! I enjoyed its uniqueness and originality, but I found myself having difficulty suspending disbelief.
I might get a lot of flak for this, and I hate criticizing my favorite show…I really HATE it; but it has to be said. Two things stood out to me. Somehow, within mere seconds, Margot was able to find Jack, Kate, and Simone among the swarm of people exiting the hospital? That’s just sloppy writing. Even sloppier was Jack, Kate, and Simone’s escape from under the overpass, although it was absurdly intense. Traveling by automobile through the tunnel, which I’d say is no more than 40/50 yards long, shouldn’t take longer than 5 seconds, especially considering the speed at which they were driving. Yet, we are supposed to believe that the mastermind that is Margo is THAT stupid to be under the impression it took them over a minute to get through. Are we really supposed to think she didn’t question what took them so long to cross to the other side of the underpass? That she didn’t suspect that something was at play? I’m sure anyone with half a brain would attempt to confirm first that they’re still in that same vehicle before wasting the final missile. I would love to say that Jack simply outsmarted her, but I don’t see it that way. I see it as Margo making poor decisions to advance the plot. And that’s the laziest form of writing in my opinion.
Also, I’m not a fan of the Navarro subplot — yet. It doesn’t look like it will connect to the main storyline, which is fine. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, because this show has had countless subplots like this in its long history. Some have turned out pretty well, and helped to define and flesh out the side characters. Then there are cases like Dana Walsh. I just hope this isn’t another Dana Walsh, and that the writers have learned their lesson. As a viewer, I have no emotional investment in Jordan or Navarro as of yet, and I have a hard time caring. I’m hoping their will be a payoff, because I do feel an investment in Kate. One thing it’s got going for it though is that Chloe might get dragged back into all this pretty soon, and that’s always a good thing. I’m guessing Cross is the one who turned Chloe into the CIA in the first place.

June 10, 2014 at 9:06 amI can believe she spotted them because there weren’t a whole lot of people acting like Jack, Simone and Kate were. There was a crowd of dazed people running around in chaos. There were injured people being helped in the places where they’d fallen, or being taken to waiting emergence vehicles. And then there was an obviously injured person being half carried to a car in the parking lot by two other people who weren’t at all disorientated and were urgently trying to get the injured person outta there. That little cluster of three people acting out of the ordinary would have stood out on the overhead surveillance footage.

June 11, 2014 at 2:19 amAnd then the 2nd thing. Ian launched the missile immediately as the car came out. Margot looked suspicious even before it hit and then rewinded immediately. Not a problem for me there either.
I did think it was weird however how not screwed they seemed to feel when they switched cars the first time right in the open. AS FAR AS THEY KNEW, Margot could fire any second, right?

I believe that Day 10 could involve the high up moles in US government who were dual spies to Russian ( keep in mind writers like to keep current with current politics and russia is a hot button) and possibly that Navarro knows about Kate’s husband who was framed by the same group that Navarro is working for and Jack will team up with Kate to get to bottom of this to clear her hubbie and himself….Thoughts???

And it seems CIA started like that, but suddenly things start to pick up pace and I’m enjoying that storyline as much as everything else! I found this rather incredible to be honest.

June 10, 2014 at 4:10 pmJack’s shown empathy for terrorists on multiple occasions but it’s when he can relate to them, as one kind of extremist to another. Simone’s situation also increases Jack’s frustration because the end game is very personal to him– if he can’t get her to tell him where Margot is, his father-figure Heller is going to die. It’s when Jack starts to hurt her needlessly (because all it really accomplished was to further weaken her already weak state, which wasn’t really going to get her to talk more), it’s Kate whose presence reminds him that this isn’t the way. He tries to explain to her his frustrations and she gets it but she’s also just come from Yasmin… she’s seeing a cycle that begins with a traumatized kid and winds up either with a Simone Al-Harazi or a Jack Bauer, depending on which way the wind blows.
Jack’s hate isn’t a blind hate. I think that’s what makes him appealing. Like Phee was saying above– after everything he’s been through, to even have a shred of humanity left makes him admirable, although he is understandably colder. Kate’s Kim-like presence, though, reminds him of who he really is and a guy who needlessly tortures without any sort of justification, who is into savage in that way, is not who Jack is. That’s what made the scene to me– not that he tortured Simone but his reaction to having tortured Simone.

June 10, 2014 at 3:05 amAs awesome as Margot is, you know exactly where you stand with her as a west hating Muslim terrorist which never leaves you much room for any intrigue – thank fuck Navarro, Adrian Cross and whoever he’s working for have remedied that.
Another highlight was Jack opening up about how much he hates terrorists. Of course we always knew, but it was kinda awesome for him to just come out and say it.
Also, does anyone think the writers are Father Ted fans? Anyone who watches it will know what I mean.
Anyway, in short I thought it was fantastic from beginning to end. If they keep this up the whole day might not be a total loss after all.
Mary
June 10, 2014 at 3:57 pmI also love how much he obviously sees Kim whenever he looks at Kate and how she keeps him honest just by being there. I like that she shuts down his crazy– she’s all no, Jack, we aren’t going to turn Simone using a traumatized little girl. Get a grip. :)
Heller was his usual hilarious badass self but everything just felt like it stopped for an hour so we could have a big car commercial. We’re still where we were more or less an hour earlier: Jordan’s still a slow-moving snail of an idiot, Mark’s still in trouble with the Russians, Audrey is still suspiciously near-absent and so very mole-y when she does turn up, we still don’t know where Margot is and Simone is still dying. The “twists” were kind of insulting. We knew last week it was Adrian Cross on the phone. Jordan obviously couldn’t die or else no one would figure out about Kate’s husband at some point. *shrugs* This was just one of those getting people to places episodes, IMO.

Charles Logan (R)
Hal Gardner (R)
Wayne Palmer (D)
Noah Daniels (?)
Allison Taylor (?)
James Heller (R)
I put a question mark beside Noah Daniels because his general worldview in season six seemed awfully conservative. I know it’s hard to base party ID off foreign policy alone, but I always thought it was conceivable that Wayne Palmer chose a Republican as his running mate to form a sort of “unity ticket” that would restore faith in the presidency (think back to the Kerry/McCain chatter in 2004). I mean, the amount of turnover in the White House during the Keeler-Logan-Gardner term would have been unprecedented, and it makes sense that Wayne would want to champion a new type of politics.
If Daniels was a Republican, it would make Taylor a Democrat. I don’t know how that plays with Heller’s presidency (I still think the only way for the story to work is for him to have been Taylor’s Veep), but it’s interesting to consider. All things considered, Taylor was PROBABLY a Republican.
I think Kanin probably was too. It is not uncommon for Democratic presidents to have Republican SecDefs.
Mary
June 10, 2014 at 11:27 pmTaylor was kind of then by default a Republican, as she talked about beating then-sitting-President Daniels in the primary as if it was this truly pathetic failing on Daniels’ part– which it is. It’s not exactly a huge vote of confidence in a leader to be bested in your reelection campaign months before the real election even happens. It’s kind of no wonder that Daniels was day drinking by the time Allison was to be inaugurated.
Taylor being a Republican also then makes it easier to see how Heller got into office, based on the timeline mentioned about the drone strike that killed Margot’s husband.

June 11, 2014 at 12:18 pmThe issue becomes really which version of the Al-Harazi drone strike timeline is actually right. If it happened 3 years ago (like the CIA thinks it did), then Taylor had to somehow be a Republican who put James Heller in as her VP after firing that idiot from Day 7, and then Heller was the one left in charge after Taylor turned herself in. If it happened two years ago (like Margot says), that was after Heller won the Presidential election in his own right.

June 10, 2014 at 10:52 pmHe can be persuaded to do something if it affects his family, though. He aided Jack when Jack and Belcheck were holding them hostage and when he realized it really bothered Chloe for him to go up against her old friend, Adrian switched gears and for the first time in the day, actively helped voluntarily. Had he not done this, they never would have found the override code. He’s already saved lives today. I think he has to have a personal reason for getting involved in the Navarro mess. Maybe he and Chloe are helping Navarro with something relating to how Chloe got out of prison?
AgentRez
June 11, 2014 at 1:09 amMary
June 11, 2014 at 12:34 pmI don’t know how that would affect things, except to maybe make it less directly about Jack. It could be that Jack can help her through issues that are predominantly of her own making than anything directly having to do with him. I do kind of feel like though the show is trying to say that Morris & Prescott were killed because of what Chloe knew about Day 8. The reason why Jack was surprised to see that Chloe thought her family had been targeted might have been because just a couple of hours earlier, Navarro had told Jack he had another grandchild. When Chloe tells him about her family, Jack’s left wondering why, if the Russians came after Chloe’s family in revenge, why they didn’t also come after his family. When they find out soon that Navarro is a dirty agent, Jack’s going to suddenly wonder if what Navarro said about Kim is even true. All day, he’s operated under the assumption that his family is fine but if Navarro can’t be trusted, are they really fine?

June 10, 2014 at 12:19 pm1. Jack and Chloe do not die and Chloe does not turn on Jack
2. If Heller dies, it will not be until the last episode, and I don’t think he dies then
3. Boudreau either dies or ends up in prison
4. Jack and Kate will remain close but Jack and Audrey will end up together
5. Tony, Kim, and Arron Pierce will not return in day 9
6. Edgar Styles’ mother, to my dismay, will not return in day 9 (this is for Mary) *
7. Day 9, LAD is the end of the series. I know this, pretty much for certain.
* We never actually never saw Mama Style die!
I have only one complain with day 9. More so than any other season, the background music, playing during conversation, is too loud. Sometimes it is difficult to hear Jack or understand what is being said with heavy British accents. I have heard this complaint from many other folks. Other than that, the show is wonderful.

June 10, 2014 at 3:30 pmSome list-y predictions backatcha:
1. President Heller dies next week.
2. Jack & Mark Boudreau team up and are on the same side by day’s end.
3. Audrey is a mole for the Chinese government.
4. The Chinese are behind Margot Al-Harazi, probably buffered by a small cabal of White Middle Aged Rich Dudes with ties to Big Defense, Big Oil, Big Finance (your Alan Wilsons, your Peter Kingsleys… those types.) The goal of the group and China is profit and power– specifically, to take out enemy countries and aide in China emerging as the world’s only superpower.
5. The Chinese are going to try to blame everything on the Russians, so that the U.S. and the U.K. would attack the Russian Federation, starting a war that would eventually destroy everyone but (conveniently for them) the Chinese.
6. Jack is going to save the Russians and stop a third world war because he’s in possession of some bit of evidence proving Chinese involvement (Cyprus Audio Recording 2.0!) He’ll then be in the position to make demands of the Russians, who will have to give in to them in order to avoid annihilation.
7. Oh, and getting some negotiation power with the Russians? Was Jack’s plan all along. He wasn’t trying to get Heller killed or anything (quite the opposite) but he’s been totally using this threat while trying to stop it in order to ultimately get what he is looking for.
8. We see both Tony and Kim by day’s end.
9. The whole last bit of Day 9 is a family plot in the vein of Day 1.
10. Erik Ritter may possibly get something to actually do at some point. (GASP!)

June 10, 2014 at 3:50 pmAs you said, America doesn’t negotiate with terrorists, so Heller wanting to surrender himself to the terrorists is irrelevant. He may be the president but he would never be allowed to do that and it would never happen. They would never let him do it.
And as you said, precedent. What Heller would be saying is that anytime lives are in danger and somebody is demanding for the President’s head that it’s right to sacrifice yourself — without even knowing if what you’re doing will save lives to begin with.
It just wouldn’t happen.

June 10, 2014 at 9:06 pmThat said, I assume there is some sort of plan. I can’t see Jack or Heller thinking that it’s a good idea to have a US president surrender to a terrorist with the whole world watching. Doing that would cost way more lives in the long run, because it would send a message to the world that the US is powerless to stop an attack and that blackmailing a US president works. Think about the scene in season 7 when Jack initially refused to open the door to hand President Taylor to Juma even though he admitted that he could not watch his own daughter be butchered the way Juma was threatening to do to Olivia. When she asked him that, he said “no ma’am, but I am not the president of the United States.”

June 11, 2014 at 12:56 pmI think Mark believes it was his love for Audrey that gave her a reason to keep going but he’s also becoming increasingly aware that he’s more or less deluded himself into thinking this. Since it’s, uh, obviously not true. :) I don’t think they met when Audrey was still under intense psychiatric supervision– it’s a little wonky to make that work. Tell anyone your meet cute about the first date in the psych ward and it might raise some red flags that this isn’t the healthiest relationship… I think he was telling Ron that Audrey had been through a lot, that they met when she was on the mend but still really fragile, and that he helped her to get to a place like where she is now– more capable, more talkative, more stable. I don’t think he preyed on a damaged woman. I think Heller hired Mark to work for him in some capacity before he got back into politics and through being around Heller, Mark met Audrey. (Mark strikes me as a former attorney. He could have been Heller’s lawyer or something.) He was supportive when she was still finding her way back to herself and eventually they started dating and later got married.

June 12, 2014 at 12:56 amIt’s kind of like (and wow, I can’t believe I’m about to make a comparison between these two characters) Bill Buchanan and Michelle. Bill comes in after Michelle’s been through hell and he likes this lady a whole hell of a lot and he’s probably the better choice for her. They have more in common, they have similar goals and wants in life, and there’s an attraction there, but Bill just isn’t the other guy. He’s not the guy who was willing to be executed as a traitor to save her life and that’s the guy that Michelle still loved. Bill had the foresight and the grace and the decency to step aside because he is probably 24’s only emotionally mature character.
It’s a different thing for Mark. Jack’s been long gone for nine years and Audrey has given Mark indications that she wants a future with him (obviously, since they’re married) that Michelle never really gave Bill. He’s had hope that his loyalty to her and willingness to protect her can change any lingering feelings she might still have for Jack. You could look at the rendition order as Mark’s big romantic gesture– he thinks he’s saving Audrey from harm because what Audrey has indicated is that she needs someone to save her. She had been lost when they met. He helped her find herself again. She’s led him to believe he’s the only reason she’s sane now so that’s why he’s all “is that what you think I do?” and at a loss when Audrey suddenly starts saying he’s treating her like a keepsake in a box. She seems to have liked that until, uh, today. Mark doesn’t see it as trying to control anybody, I don’t think– he sees it as trying to protect people, often from themselves. Which? Is what Heller and Audrey *have asked him to do*. Heller hired Mark to be his sounding board, even when it wasn’t pretty, and to protect him politically, and Audrey married the guy who held her hand and protected her after she had been through hell. I’m not so sure Mark is controlling– I think he is, in a sense, controlled by his family and how complicated it is to be working for and with your family. He’s got himself in a real pickle here, that Mark Boudreau has.

June 13, 2014 at 6:25 pmActually, I just had a thought: he could have been referring to sometime between seasons 4 and 5 or 5 and 6, and meant that she was in bad shape because she was distraught over him disappearing/thinking he was dead/etc. From what he said to Ron in episode 1 that seems unlikely, but I suppose it is possible. Maybe he first met Audrey sometime between seasons 4 and 5, something started between them or seemed possible, but then Audrey found out Jack was still alive and then watched him disappear again, and then between seasons 5 and 6 she broke things off with Mark or didn’t pursue things with him and instead went to China to look for Jack. Then as far as Mark can tell, Jack comes back from China and walks away from Audrey – Mark may not know about the things Heller said to Jack at the end of season 6. That could also explain why he seems to think Jack did something horrible to Audrey while she does not seem to blame him.
This doesn’t quite add up with everything that’s been said, but I think it’s as good of an explanation as any right now. I want to write a fanfiction that delves into Audrey’s back story between seasons 6 and 9, but I am having trouble right now because too many of the details they have given just don’t add up.

Maybe Heller doesn’t know that he actually has more time because the other drones are not able to strike London yet. Maybe they will consider other targets like American military bases elsewhere like Germany?
New West Virginian
June 10, 2014 at 9:27 pmThere is no way Mark is getting out of this because even if he finds a way to hand Jack over, Heller and Audrey will demand that the Russians return Jack and Mark’s involvement will be revealed. I really think Mark will call on Navarro to handle the situation, in exchange for Navarro being let off for the conspiracy he’s involved in.
Maybe the Russians will kidnap Jack in the middle of Jack’s hunt for Margot and make demands on the US to secure Jack’s release so he can continue his mission.

The next episode will start at 6:00 pm so a night time episode might be around the corner. However, the show might decide to skip 12 hours after next week’s episode. If the skip of hours allows for us to see Jack in another country (U.S, Russia, China), I might still get my wish of seeing a night time episode. We shall see.

June 11, 2014 at 10:29 amIt was a really old ambulance and yes, they did give out a bit too much information. But I’d say that could happen in real life.

June 11, 2014 at 2:13 pmSome more food for thought, we keep discussing Open Cell and Margot as two separate plots, but let’s not forget, David Yates, who is a connection between the two. Might there be more significance to the Yates story? I would think the 24 writers would attach more ramifications to a situation where an Open Cell contractor is involved with Al Razi. Really nothing we can do but speculate, but it’s cool to think about all the different routes the writers could take us in the remainder of the season.
Mary
June 11, 2014 at 3:22 pmLiam– Yates is a big link, agreed. One of the biggest things that suggests to me that Jack has another end game here besides just stopping this threat is the possibility that he created the link between Yates and Margot just so he could get to Chloe for help in stopping the day.

June 11, 2014 at 10:51 pmHey guys so I just saw on Mary Lynn’s twitter a picture of her and Tzi Ma (the actor who plays Cheng) at the Bedford hotel. The person who posted the photo posted a photo of her with Tate Donovan moments before this so its safe to assume she was at something 24 related.
This picture in conjunction with Navarro’s mention of China this week leads me to believe that Cheng may be returning.
To be honest I’m not really happy about this if its true. I still have a very VERY bad taste in my mouth left over from him and the awful China plot in season 6. But I think hell be coming back since it would create drama for jack, mark, Audrey and Navarro.
Sorry if this is known already but I wanted to share as I accidentally stumbled upon this (trying to avoid all previews and spoilers this season)
New West Virginian
June 11, 2014 at 10:58 pmIt WAS mentioned in the first episode that China doesn’t want the drone base renewed cause Diego Garcia is in the Indian Ocean and China wants that to be in its sphere of influence. But Jack is no longer on the run from China the way he is from Russia since the US made some kind of deal with China to get Jack back in Season 6 so he could be sacrificed to Fayed.
I also didn’t think the second half of Season 6 was that realistic, like the Chinese doing all this the same day a nuke was blown up on American soil and after Fayed had just launched all these attacks. But then the Russians right now don’t care about the threat to London, their priority is still getting Jack.

June 13, 2014 at 2:47 amIt was good to see Jack come out with a few “Dammits” which seem to have been missing for the most part. It is this passion from Jack which I think has been absent. Like when MI5 messed up his mission. It would have been more like Jack to really tear them off a strip, and to shout and rant a bit, but it was a fairly weak complaint he made against their interference.
Having said that, I get the feeling that the tension is going to increase dramatically in the final episodes.
I wish we were being told more of what Jack’s been up to in the last 4 years. The amount of dialogue from Jack has not been great, mostly confined to what was going on at any particular moment, but I’d like to see some more intensity of what he has to say, more of why he is doing what he is doing now and why.
I must say though that there is still the best “24” quality about the current storyline in that you definitely feel that literally anything could happen, and anyone is fair game to get killed off. I really hope it’s not going to be Chloe though. That really would be awful!
The next episode looks like producing some really exciting moments and, in spite of my criticisms, I am really loving this season and will relish the prospect of seeing it all through again in the future – many times.
One final thought – the things Kiefer are saying suggests that any subsequent series seems highly unlikely. But then again, at the end of Season 8, it was pretty vague. So much depends on how they finish this one. No doubt it will be quite remarkable!
