24 is the greatest show evar!

[Imran Siddiqui]

How long roughly does a full episode take to complete...

Probably far longer than an episode of West Wing. The production values for 24 are very high and many of the actors are working on other projects.

That aside, doing this, which explains the random storylines and character disappearances

It's 24... random storylines are not rare.

And you said they were changing what they had planned, that means totally redone episodes, not small changes.

OMG I WAS SO PISSED AT THAT SH1T WTF????????

Michelle looks hot though. I hope her and Tony get back together.

An emotionally charged issue and I think they settled the PC crap about Muslims and Arabs!!!!

[Sava]

I feel sorry for Sara. What a ****ty day that must have been. You get tortured, then fired by the new boss. That sucks.

[Ted Striker]

I missed the 20 minutes though!!!

How did they end up in that store?

[Sava]

they were in the defense contractor building when Jack pwned 3 security guards... then they ran out and the commandos came from a helicopter. Jack and Paul just stumbled on to the store and Jack wanted to go in there to get guns.

Thanks for the info


Sara said, "you'll be sorry!" when she was leaving, I wonder if she is going to come back in another episode as being bitter and vengeful.

I doubt production on '24' highly unusual and takes 2+months for an episode. Anyways, they don't need to make totally new episodes.

No, it doesn't.

I think so. Whenever I hear "you'll be sorry" on tv it's usually not an "If" question, but a "How/What" question.

I hope so.

[Imran Siddiqui]

No, it doesn't.

Um... yeah. You can't totally change how the story is planned by just adding some cuts or some crap. If you are totally changing the plot, you need new episodes, totally new episodes. End of story.

I never said they were "totally changing the plot", only changing some things they had planned, which they could even do with a pencil and eraser if the script didn't go to filming yet. Like Ted said, hopefully this episode (and others when seen from a big picture) put an end to the PC crap.

[Sava]

UH OH lots of cool **** this episode, but I don't want to spoil it for ted!

[Ted Striker]

HOLY **** THIS SHOW IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!11111111

They shot the hot Turkish Mom though!!!!

I think the rule for the show is that they can only have 3 females in CTU at once. Two primaries and one secondary.

Nice to see Chloe back!

WTF is Jack doing setting himself up as bait???

I know, she was my favorite character. I loved her voice. After CTU moved in on the car with 1 guy (who CTU believed earlier wouldn't talk anyways) I knew Jack and Dina were screwed.

Did next week's preview show the terrorists wanting to trade Jack (a top expert CTU agent) for Dina's son? Why? Obviously they plan to kill Jack during the trade, but why do they value the kid (alive or dead) so much?

[Ted Striker]

I couldn't tell who it was. It sounded like they were going to trade the kid at first, but the long shot looked like a grown man.

There is also the guy that Jack shot in the knee at the beginning of the show, maybe that was him

I loved her voice too!
