24

[SpecialBruce]

In a ridiculous time slot at 10:30 now. Channel 7 like ****ing up excellent shows. It should have been 8:30 Monday's instead of 9:30. Now it's pushed back to 10:30.

Whilst this series was slow to begin with, it's gotten better and better. There havn't been many twists in this series as the last 2, but it's going alone nicely. Hopefully the twists come at the end like last year. Excellent show but in a ridiculous time slot.

Anyone heard on what the next series is going to be about?

Nope nothing yet.

[Bresh]

This has the potential to be the best series so far. There is still a lot to be explained, I hope they don't leave it until the last minute like the second season.

I've heard there won't be too many familiar faces around next year, due to both on-screen and off-screen issues. As long as Bauer is around, that's all you really need anyway.

Nah they shouldn't leave it to the last minute. I was told last night that someone read that all the twists come in the last few episodes.

I've heard that Michelle may not be back next season. She is having a fling off-screen with Keifer too.

After seeing what Channel 7 have done to Alias and 24 this year, my guess is they want a good reason to axe them. And a good reason to axe them would be to put them in ridiculous timeslots.

If that Threat Maxtrix is really axed in the US, why the hell would they bother showing it?

Channel 7 have no brains! That's my summary of them.

Channel 7 should **** that Las Vegas off and put 24 in that timeslot of 8:30.

Agree 100% - should have been moved to the prime time not a later slot - could not believe it when Ch7 did this.
- Classy show

Better than Alias and Sopranos (the only others I watch)

Neither do Ch10. They are going to put on a show, Jake 2.0, which has been axed in the US. What is the point?

Just speculating but it would probably be pretty cheap to pick up an axed series. Plus they get the whole "new series from the US" hype adds to get people watching.

As for 24, any money says Michelle lives.

[puddingfactor]

I don't really have a problem with a network showing something which has already which has been axed - it should really depend on whether it's any good or not.

Couple of years ago Ten had an okay show called Now and Again which they showed twice a week in prime time - even though it had already been axed in the US a couple of weeks before it started airing here.

[TheBloods]

The reason that a number of 24 regulars may not be back next year are pretty large budget cuts.

The reason that a number of already-axed shows are played out here is that local TV executives are f****** morons!!

[Lady Lawrence]

I am an avid watcher of 24, addicted you could say. Can someone in the know answer me this without giving too much away?

At the end of the the second series we saw Pres Palmer go down after getting hit with some weird virus after a hand shake and a girl taking the gel stuff off her hand and making a call saying it was done. It was widely recognised that this girl was the one from the very first episodes of the first series, (the one on the plane that blew up and shot the other girl out in the desert etc). This linked the first series into the second and then with the dumping of the body at the beginning of the 3rd series you thought that the link was there again. We then discover the body was dumped by Bauer etc in their covert operation.

Anyways now that I have tried to explain that really succinctly (not) does anyone know where that particular storyline has gone or did it just disappear when they changed scriptwriters?

Now, I am the same as you, I don't know whats going to happen on the last 6 or so epiodes, but I can guess.

In episode 1 or 2 of this third series, you see the President on medication being treated by the doctor he was dating and it was the first time he went back to LA after the terrorist hit on him with that weird disease. So there was kind of a link there.

However, I rewatched series 2 before this series has started and in series 2 when she rings up and says its done, I'm pretty sure the guy on the other end is the guy who's behind this virus in this series. (His face is so familiar) So we could see a link up in the last however many episodes left in this series (this is a guess). It would fit in well with him wanting to speak with the president etc. So we could see this storyline come back.

I have been thinking the same as you. Where has the storyline gone and thinking about it, it could come back soon. Well I hope it does because it would then make this series even better.

Who knows. I guess we'll soon find out.

[Lady Lawrence]

You were right SB.

Looks like we may be getting a vague connection coming back in, the guy was with Jack in Kosovo.

So we'll see what happens.

[Bresh]

Pretty sure the sequence with Palmer going down was simply for cliffhanger purposes, i.e. will he/won't he be back for next season. From what I can recall, the guy on the boat wasn't Stephen Saunders... but I could be wrong. I watched Season 2 again in February, and from what I can recall that wasn't the guy. Season 3 is actually set some time after Season 2, 2-3 years from what I can remember.

As far as Michelle is concerned, I've got my money on her being immune to the virus.

Yeah!

The series started off slow and looked like in no direction. Now we're seeing some kind of linkup. I think these last 6 or 7 episodes should be good.

I just did some checking to clear it up. I was wrong about him being in season 2. I searched for an episode guide for season 2 to read the last episode, no mention of him.

Yeah thats correct, Season 3 is set 2 years after the happenings of season 2.

[Ray Nolan]

Can someone given me a rundown on what happened on last Monday's 24. I was set to tape it due to the later starting time (Chaneel 7 you pack of b*stards) but the friggin' VCR crapped out meaning I missed it.:mad: Any help would be appreciated. :)

[Lowie01]

Saunders started making demands of Palmer, starting with fetching a mobile phone that is unable to be traced (not sure why, some sort of chip) so Saunders could make the rest of his demands via the phone.

Saunders then forced Palmer to give a press conference, using the words "the sky is falling", which I think was a cue for some sort of attack on the MI6 offices in L.A., where Jack and Chase had taken a woman with connections to Saunders (more help needed, please!). Jack discovered a bomb which would have destroyed the hard drive with all of the info on Saunders, but he retrieved it just before it exploded - as he always does.

Just before the end of the show, Saunders gave his next demand, which was to kill Ryan Chappelle, because he was getting close to the money trail.

At the hotel, Gael becomes the first victim of the virus as everybody at the hotel gets tested. There is a 90% fatality rate, which as everybody has been saying, means Michelle will probably live. Tony took suicide capsules to the hotel, because side-effects are horrible.

Anything I've missed?

IMO, best episode of the series so far!

[Lowie01]

By moving 24 to 10:30, Seven made the stupidest decision they've ever made. Did it rate badly at 8:30 last year? Surely they can put it on at 8:30 on Thursdays!

Nope. You've summed it up well.

Why do I get this feeling that Chapelle won't be killed?

[TheBloods]

Cheers for the updates people, typical I'd end up missing what sounded like a cracking episode!:rolleyes:

I actually havn't ruled out Chapelle to be a mole yet. I'll rule it out when and if he is killed off.

Yet again, the last 2 season's I had thought he is a mole.

I think he is working for Michael Amador

[Lady Lawrence]

Oh My God!! I cannot believe he shot him!!!

Is it some kind of stunt to make the people in the van think he shot him?

I am completely in shock!!!

[TheBloods]

I think Jack has a cunning plan up his sleeve... So cunning you could pin a tail on it and...

At the end of the episode, the last thing we see is a wide shot (long distance away) of Jack pointing the gun at Chappelle and shooting Chappelle. Chappelle then fell to the ground.

I still think that Chappelle isn't dead (somehow), but who really knows with this series. :)

[Joel]

Well that feeling was wrong. See ya Chapelle!

[SpecialBruce]

It can't be a stunt because don't the people in the van need to take his body to Saunders?

Although with 24 anything is possible. Afterall he was meant to shoot Nina in the first series.

[TheBloods]

Maybe they have a back-up body at the site?

[grimlock]

IF there was a fake body, how would they swap the real Chappelle for the fake one considering they were in full view of the van? Knowing 24 though, they'd probably come up with some illogical and unbelievable reason.

[Lady Lawrence]

He really really did kill him!!! I am gobsmacked!

[Borgsta]

yeah he is dead. If only they would shoot that secretary, God she is annoying!

[Cheer Red Blood]

I wish I had kept watching this series, I didn't enjoy the first 5 or so episodes so stopped watching = bad decison.

[TheBloods]

It wouldn't have been a proper 24 if Kim didn't get herself taken hostage - only for a very short period this time though!

Still amazed they actually killed Chapelle!

[goaldrush]

I am glad that Chappelle is dead! Thanks for telling me all about it.

[SpecialBruce]

What's going to happen now that they have Saunder's daughter?

Could do a little dealing of their own

[JuniorBurger]

My Dad still thinks that Chappelle is alive even tho I taped the last episode for him. He looked pretty damned dead to me!
Pity that Chappelle does the first decent thing (not kicking up a fuss when he found out that Tony had sent the suicide pills to the hotel) and the next episode he is dead.
I love this show tho and this series is building to a huge crescendo i can't wait! BTW this series started at 8am, right? I was just trying to work out how many episodes left.

It started at 12 or 1pm. There are about 5 episodes left.

[Dry Rot]

Anyone else hoped that Tony would hold the line and we'd see a Luis Bunuel scene with his wife's eye?

[Bresh]

Tony is in deep poop... due to his lack of application of the Jack Bauer "bigger picture" thereom.

[SpecialBruce]

Tony made the wrong move. Should have let Michelle die.

[SpecialBruce]

Yet again, it wouldn't be a real 24 if they had have caught him 5 episodes before the end.

What's this big betrayal?

The twists look like they're coming from here on in.

I think that Chase could be a mole.

[Dry Rot]

There certainly seems to be a mole in CTU. If its not Jack, Tony or Michelle that leaves Chase, Adam or Chloe (is that the name of the annoying woman?) left of the known characters.

Whoever it is, they helped snatch Michelle and Chase was out in the field at the time.

My money's on Adam, who will be more ****ed off about his sister if he's the mole.

[SpecialBruce]

Yeah Chloe is the name of that annoying woman. I wish they'd kill her off the show.

[grimlock]

The same theorem that had him chuck a hissy fit when he found that Kim was going to go undercover even though she was the only choice?

Mole could be Chloe for mine. She managed to get Adam and Tony away from the screens for a few minutes, who knows what she got up to then.

[TheBloods]

[Lennyfan]

You would have to say that this is the best finish of the three so far, and WOW 7 are actually going to show it the last two episodes back to back at the right time of 9:30.......

[Dry Rot]

What did you make of the end?

Glad Sheri got shot and good to see Chase lending Jack a hand to get rid of the last phial.

With the President not standing, Chase & Kim going off to have babies and Tony in gaol, looks like it's the end of the road.

Good fun while it lasted.

:D

I thought it was great. Like you, I was glad to see Sherry get hers, but I was also glad that Palmer decided to resign - his standing was severely smeared in this series. I think we'll still see him in the next series. Looks like Tony is gone for good and maybe Michelle too. The next series should be different again.

[Bresh]

It just goes to show... when you **** with Jack Bauer, **** can happen.

[Mattlowry]

I was really REALLY ****ed of with the Herald Sun last year as they mentioned a name of someone on the show who signed a new contract for a certain period of time meaning you know they couldnt die, ruined the show!

Well its ok now because apparently on the radio today they said that pretty much everyone (Cept Jack) are leaving the show. I am ****ed of Elisha (Jacks daughter) is gonna leave, she was fine. I dont know for sure she will leave but she is arguably the shows 2nd biggest star after Jack now and would probably get more money elsewhere..

Lol did anyone with Foxtel watch the 24 marathon a while back, last year i think it was. I missed the first series and watched the first 9 hours, slept for 3 hours and watched the rest. Lol...

[Bresh]

I will not be saddened if Cuthbert leaves. She is overrated looks-wise (not to say you wouldn't)... but it would remove the need for the writers to make ridiculous storylines to keep her in the series.

There's going to be a fourth series?

Won't have much continuity with every charcter bar Jack gone.

Shame we never got to see some hot sex scenes with Nina, or Chappelle doing some shameless act.

Was the school next door to a hospital? Last 15 minutes was pathetic.

I assume a medical team came and got him and took him to a nearby hospital. I didn't assume it was next door.

[Lowie01]

I think Channel Seven actually cut out the last scheduled commercial break, so it looked like they were at the school one minute and hospital the next.

[Russian]

Kiefer Sutherland will be back for another season of the TV hit series 24 while other high-profile stars Elisha Cuthbert (Jack's daughter Kim ) and Dennis Haysbert (President David Palmer) won't be returning. Others leaving the hit series include Reiko Aylesworth, who's taking her crime-fighting skills to CSI, James Badge Dale and Carlos Bernard.

So basically its just Jack (and possibly Chase?) who's left.

The show finished at like 11:10 so they must have cut out a good 20 minutes of ads during the show.

Anyways next season will be great i think. The show really needed some new life as even though she is a hottie i was gettin sick of jacks daughter getin kidnapped every season.


Will be interesting to see who the new characters are. Hope they bring in some more medium- well known characters (i mean as in stature).
