  • In Soviet Russia, rogue goes YOU!

    "Good"
    By BigDyno, Oct 18, 2009 Report Abuse
    The three main points of focus: CTU hunts for Jack, Karen faces a legal dilemma, and Chloe & Morris bicker. Guess which one's the dumbest?
    Chloe's hack into Morris' system has sparked some animosity between the two, which leads to her snapping about how he armed the nukes for Fayed. It's nice to reference events that occurred more than two hours ago, but still, the hell with idiotic so-called drama that amounts to meaningless filler.
    While Daniels keeps enjoying the Oval Office, Karen's dilemma involves testimony from Reed Pollock that Buchanan indirectly allowed Fayed's attacks. So she reluctantly fires Buchanan from CTU to cover her own hide. Now that's a better way to make us care about side characters, and it utilizes another reference to more than two hours ago. Nice-o!
    But the biggest issue here is Jack's plan to save Audrey and then incinerate himself, Cheng, and the Russian component that's driving the plot. This plan, of course, fails stupendously. Jack's latest death postponement comes when CTU catches up and starts a shootout. Can't reveal much about the outcome, so I'll instead mention there's a missile launcher. This episode isn't amazing, but it's far from crap. Y'know, barring the Chloe/Morris crap.

    Hourly Highlight:
    How could it be anything but that warm, magical, not-at-all-disgusting kiss between Daniels and Lisa?
    but I think I'll go with the missile launcher. Just 'cuz.moreless

  • Will Jack save Audrey?

    So, the best part was Jack trying to get read of CTU following him, get to Audrey save her and blow him up - of course it did not worked that way. He is alive, Audrey is safe but she is not herself anymore and Cheng get away with that chip - so almost everything went wrong.

    On White House side we have really nasty storyline where Karen Hayes have to choose between her career and Bill's and of course he is sacrificed - so now Nadya is on the command in CTU.

    In overall - I think there was action, quite much nerve wrecking moments on Jack side but the other storylines - not too good.moreless

    This was a very good episode, having both unpredictability and a lot of action...The final scenes, especially the attempt to shut down of the chopper was a strong point of all this...Jack goes to his meeting with Cheng , followed by a close Doyle...Jacks plan is to sacrifice himself before handing that circuit to the Chinese ...Unfortunately Doyle interrupts them , and Cheng escapes...Karen his in a very though situation, having to sacrifice either Bill or herself...She decides to sacrifice her husband ,and Bill is forced to resign CTU and he places Nadia in front...Apart from the last part this episode was i think, a little dull, full of events that i didn't found quite attractive.moreless

  • Still excellent, still the best show around, bizarre about the insults for it.

    "Great"

    Ok, so looking back in hindsight, this season is 24 is the first one where i know it won't be my fave. I've always had difficulty ranking the seasons, however it's probably fair to say as it stands, season 6 will be last (but there are 5 to go in the U.K). BUT...this does not make it a bad season. I find it baffling when people give it a 2\10 or say it's bottom of the barrel. In comparison it may be slightly lacking the oomph of past years, but this by no means makes it bad. The only insults i can have about Season Six is that there has been too little of Jack, and too many attempted main CTU characters. anyway, onto this episode..

    A slow start, and by the time Daniels were acting like a perv, i was wondering whether this would infact be a low point of the entire show. however, it turned around. Chloe and Morris' bickering was tedious until Chloe said that one sentence that changed everything in a positive manner. The Bill and Karen storyline at last means Bill is given a decent plot he deserves (and a reminder he is in fact married to Karen) but ends with him leaving. i wasn't sad as I'm certain we haven't seen the last of him, but it played out well. (another thing to those who say the show is predictable, who saw Bill leaving CTU at the start of the episode?)

    Doyle I am liking more and more, better than Curtis and if he keeps going could rival Chase who i always liked to partner Jack. As for Jack himself, his emotional conversation to Bill and his distress at seeing a messed up Audrey were awesome. Kiefer only needs to use his face without saying a word to show the pain Jack is feeling. So the next episode should be great.. We'll see how messed up Audrey is; What Cheng does next; and whether they intend to send Jack down. either way, this season is no-where near over yet.moreless

    This episode is not a good episode.

    Barely anything happened and is by far my least favourite episode of the season. SPOILERS AHEAD

    The story is now beyond believable, I know 24 is meant to deal with extreme situations but this time it's taking it too far.

    The Chinese shooting down a US government helicopter on Us soil? Reed blows up the President so the Head of CTU is blamed?

    The story is silly and is fast becoming my least favourite season of the show.

    The story isn't interesting anymore because there is no longer a threat to America and so there's no reason for the show to continue and it feels long and dragged out.moreless

    • With this episode, Jack Bauer has thus far failed to sacrifice himself three times. He left Fayed's hideout when CTU tried to trade him for Assad, Philip didn't pull the trigger when Jack traded his life for his nephew, and in this episode, CTU prevented Jack from blowing himself up while trading Audrey for the nuclear component. Edit
    • This is the second time Karen Hayes has had Bill Buchanan fired from CTU. Edit
    • Jack leaves a message on Buchanan's phone with details of his location. He also says that Bill "has been a good friend". Jack first met Buchanan on Day 4 when he took over from Michelle as head of CTU. At the end of the day, Jack's death was faked so he could hide from the Chinese. He returned (18 months later) on Day 5, where Buchanan was still running CTU but at the end of Day 5 he was captured by the Chinese and put in prison for another 18 months. When he returns on Day 6, he works with CTU for a few hours. So just when did Jack Bauer and Bill Buchanan have the time to become "good friends"? Edit

    • Jack: (referring to Cheng) Is he gone? Doyle: Yeah. I gotta take you under custody, Jack. Jack: I had this handled. Why the hell didn't you listen to me? Edit
    • Doyle: Nadia, did you get that? Cheng escaped with the sub-circuit board. We've got a chopper down, we need those other choppers ASAP. Nadia: I know, the choppers should be there in five minutes. Listen, before they went down, they reported seeing Cheng and his men traveling in three black hummers, in the mountains, offroad, traveling north. Doyle: Copy that. Nadia: Now place Jack under arrest! Doyle: Understood. Edit
    • Doyle: Where's the sub-circuit board? Jack: Cheng's got it. I was set to blow the building and destroy the component until you engaged us in a firefight. Here's the detonator. Edit
