Talk away!!!

[Kimberella]

Excellent! I knew they would bring back the other Bauers and once the Chinese were specifically looking for Josh I knew his grandfather was behind it. I cannot believe how Milo stood up and boom.

[Lady_Bauer]

Poor Milo! He didn't deserve to go, and especially not like that. Stupid Nadia.

Otherwise, fantastic epi with lots of Marilyn and Jack!

[Beroglide]

damn what a way to go for milo. but so far everything is panning out according to those spoilers

[RetiredZimon]

glad i havent read the spoilers!! im so excited about what philip wants now!!! what could it be??

[Call-of-Duty]

GREAT episode! There wasn't many presidential parts, Lots of Chloe, lots of Marylin and Josh, and a raid on CTU! Man, I can't believe Milo's gone. :( If CTU had its own graveyard, it'd be so full. I like the fact that Jack didn't save the day. And Phillip! It's good to know he didn't just fade away. But what does he really want with Josh? He was willing to kill him just a few hours ago..

[Beatrix]

Poor Milo! He didn't deserve to go, and especially not like that. Stupid Nadia.

Otherwise, fantastic epi with lots of Marilyn and Jack!

OMG I agree I was yelling at my sister Nadia should of gotten popped in the head, she cannot handle CTU, Milo was there since the get.

I'm glad I found this thread....I was looking for it.

I thought Jack was going to be a 1 man team like always :001_unsure: too bad it didnt' happen that way.

[Beroglide]

we kinda figured it was going to happen, but when cheng was giving directions to his man and said "that should put you right under ctu", i just threw up my hands. OMG here we go again i said...:001_rolleyes:

that situation was similar to the 24 video game they released for ps2, where some character they made up broke into ctu and held everyone inside hostage.

[BDH]

Well, this episode was better than the last few. Very well put together. I dont know about the ease with which CTU was breached, but anyway...

Disappointed in the fact that Milo didnt get the silent clock... WTF?

I think Milo went out in an awesome way. As sad as i am cuz he rocked, its better than getting killed in a stupid way. He went out with honor.

[RetiredZimon]

he didnt get a silent clock cos he didnt die at the end of the episode.

[BDH]

Theyve done the silent clock before fro people whove died earlier on in the ep.

[24bauer24]

What a great episode felt like the 24 of old

[RetiredZimon]

Theyve done the silent clock before fro people whove died earlier on in the ep.

um, no they havent.

[Beatrix]

.........lol

[RetiredZimon]

lol at what?

[BDH]

Probably lol at my arguing just for the sake of arguing... I was unsure, but decided to stick to my guns just in case someone would back me up...

My turn...LOL

[RetiredZimon]

im pretty sure they havent done but if you can give me an example then thats cool

[Beroglide]

yeah i thought he was messing with him, but i'm not sure now. the only one i can think of is the one for edgar in season 5, but i don't remember if that happened in the middle or close to the end. technically you could say george mason, he didn't die right at the moment, but they fit the silent clock in the middle of the ep

[Beatrix]

lol at what?

at the um...no they haven't lol

so who's the 3rd
I know it was Terry Bauer and Edgar (who's prob 3rd)
was it Ryan or George?

[Beroglide]

at the um...no they haven't lol

so who's the 3rd
I know it was Terry Bauer and Edgar (who's prob 3rd)
was it Ryan or George?

ryan got the third in season 3

[Beatrix]

oh okay....that was so sad :crying:

[20LEGEND]

Nadias fault, she is weak and the place needs a real leader back there

bring back BILL!

[RetiredZimon]

yes yes we need bill back! although its a good thing he wasnt there, they would have killed him!!

[Soccerplayur012]

first post :biggrin:

I'd like to say I think while Nadia should have been more decisive, I think anyone in their right mind would be taking a few seconds to think it over before standing up. Milo was trying to be a "macho man" and win over Nadia's heart, and it got him shot squarely in the head.

While I did like Milo, he got shot because he stood up for someone when no one asked. While gallant, it is stupid.

[Jack4Prez]

Ok I totally called it that Jack's dad was gonna be the one that Cheng was working for b/c who else would want Josh. Also I didn't like Marylin I thought it was annoying how she was like, "I'll be here for you." ew i hate her. Oh and I hate Heller for actually filing a restraining order against Jack!

[Agent_Almeida]

Milo was a nerd anyway i wont really miss him
to be very honest i have had difficulty getting attached to the team at ctu this season
i like all the characters as individuals but i didnt like milo that much, he thinks he is almeida :wink:

the chinese are very dangerous it showed in last nights episodes and i for one now want to see Jack kill Cheng!

[Prince_Krillo]

Byline: Tommy S.

Wow, when Heroes is lacking somewhat on Monday nights, you can always count on 24 to pick up the slack with an hour that truly goes back to the show's roots. Sick, dramatic, thrilling, action-packed, and revealing, this episode defined the series.

Seriously, the annoying critics who've been complaining about the way this Day has been progressing pretty much got their mouths shut after this episode. Or, at least, should have.

Important events that occurred during Hour 21 of Day 6:

http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2088/imagezhousu3.png

• CTU got their asses completely owned by the Chinese as Cheng's men, led by the mercenary Zhou (Ian Anthony Dale, who played Avatar Gamma in "Charmed," great to see Gamma back on TV) led a completely successful infiltration and raid (and pretty much annihilation) of the Counter-Terrorist Unit in its entirety.

• Continuing from the last point, this was the first actual hostile takeover of CTU since 24: The Game, which took place chronologically after Day 2, in which Madsen and his men (under the orders of Max, of course) lured Jack, Tony, and most of CTU's resources away from the building before infiltrating it and taking Michelle and Kim hostage. Ahhh ... the good old days.

• Milo's swan song. Wow ... umm, two days ago I didn't understand why everyone was so worked up over Milo's death. I mean, it's "24," people are expected to die. But yeah, after watching the headshot go down for myself, now I understand. Sick. The effect probably would've been even greater if I hadn't been spoiled about it happening ahead of time. So much for anyone besides Jack making it out alive on this show. In the end, I'm confidant that everyone on Earth in the "24" universe will be dead except for Jack Bauer.

• Like I said earlier in the week, Rena Sofer made her return in this episode as "Marilyn Bauer" as well as her return on "Heroes" during the same hour as "Heidi Petrelli." But yeah, her role here was far more important than it was in her one scene on this week's "Heroes."

• Lisa Miller and Mark Bishop had sex (which for some reason had to be shown on-screen) for 45 minutes while Tom Lennox listened in on behalf of President Daniels. Not exactly the highlight of the episode.

• "Heroes" can shock people with its twists and turns every week, but so can its competition. Phillip Bauer returned before the Day was even over, turning out to be once and for all, the real "big bad" of the season and more than likely, next season as well. Uhh, I'd say "24" still has loads of potential and has set itself up well for the next two seasons. As for those of you who keep ranting about how much you hate the show right now, those of us who actually ARE continuing to enjoy what is still the best show on TV encourage you to stop watching and to STFU.

-----------------------------

My only beef with this hour? WAY too much drama for "24. I mean seriously, with the Morris/Chloe crap, and the Jack/Marilyn stuff, and not to mention the Daniels/Miller/Bishop "love" triangle (can I hurl now or later?), thank God for the Asian mercenaries killing people left and right, or else this episode would have turned out more like tonight's One Tree Hill than an hour of *still* the best show on TV, 24.

Jack Bauer will be the easter egg in my "Heroes" Volume 1 Music Video.

[Beroglide]

i agree that there seems to be a new and unusual soap opera theme going on this season. it doesn't seem to fit in because you're mixing in all the action and "goings-on", with this dramatic stuff, in real time.

[ryanchapellessweatybrow]

I don't understand though. What was the rush to get mini-Bauer back? He was going to be released in a few hours anyway so he had plenty of time to get hold of him in a much easier way?

[Soccerplayur012]

^ That is probably what we are going to be seeing in the next few episodes.

[faisj]

How easy is it to hack into CTU and get not more then 30 man take
control of this high tech "very secure" building.

And is it me? or are all the security guards really really stupid and they,
never ever do something right? They can't shoot, they always get killed,
they never think and always are running around when something happens.

CTU supposed to be a very secure military building. So why are there no
soldiers protecting all the sensitive data etc...

[Call-of-Duty]

I don't think real government buildings have guards petrolling the sewer..

I'm sorry but this is so funny because it's so true.

They run around like headless chickens always with their guns unholstered. YOU'RE BEING ATTACKED FOR GOD SAKE GET READY!

I reckon you could just walk in and take CTU.

[Beroglide]

ctu has been more of a damsel in distress than anything.

[Call-of-Duty]

The guards in CTU seem to be pretty stupid. Has ANY of them actually shot an intruder? I guess that's why they're not in the field.

[BDH]

ctu has been more of a damsel in distress than anything.Exactly... how is the Counter Terrorist Unit the most easily f'ed with group anywhere? They have had countless moles, bombings, infiltrations, etc... what an elite, well put-together group...lol

[Mike2GuysTalking]

What on Earth are they going to do in 2/3 episodes to save a very disjointed season? More death? More storming of the not-so-impregnable CTU?
