Uh, no. I was telling Pojo about the shitcanning of Prufrock.

Jim Prufrock was the only 24 production employee providing accurate spoilers to the online community and I assumed Pojo was checking it out from time to time.

i know, dude. i was kidding that pojo was the guy.


yeah, great episode. i was just thinking that nina escaping wasn't the usually end of the hour shocker like they usually have and BAM! jack goes and executes her.

she was a great character, but getting a little tired always popping up as the random bad guy.

now, they need to ditch sherry. another great character. but if she's in season 4, i'll be a little disappointed.

[lucky wilbury]

looks like guyels won't be returning to next season unless that isn't really the virus. and how about that a new vilian comes into play. it sucks the show won't be back until mar 30 if i heard right.

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...it's not back until March 30th...sorry...no spoiler sites for me...I actually looked...and couldn't find any...without having to weed through a bunch of forum bullshit...lmfao...

Nina's dead huh...would be funny if they are pulling a season 1 and she's not really dead...remember when he shot her in the first season...and she wasn't really dead...

I'm not 100% convinced that Kief is working for the good guys...

I don't know...two weeks until the next episode...gonna let it go for now...

the big baddie is on his/her way...and then the real fun really begins...

i still think we need to hear more about Palmer's assassination attempt...

and I just don't think Kiefy is going to make it through all of this...we shall see...

lmfao...maybe Kim is the criminal mastermind of this whole show...

[POJO_Risin]

Millikin's out of the picture...

how long before Kim gets caught by the terrorists?...I think it's only a matter of time...it WOULD be funny as hell if they had her involved in some way...kind of like what's her names sister...Kate's sister...in season 2....

I think it's the real virus this time...they aren't going to screw with fake virus' twice...of course...it would be just like them...

So Michelle's a goner...which oughta make Tony's character really interesting in the final episodes...maybe that sad sack will actually get out in the field finally...

what the hell happened to his leg anyways...wait...that was last season...

Oh well...tough to speculate at this point...I get the feeling that the next two or three weeks are the tonesetters for this one...we shall see...

[Flash Bastard]

I tuned into FOX tonight expecting the return of 24, but NO!

American Idol 2-hour special. I'm insanely pissed off.

[POJO_Risin]

March 30th my brother...March 30th...

and fuckin' A...9 straight episodes to end the year...

very nice...

[POJO_Risin]

I expected more after a month off...

not a good one tonight...

curious to see where this is going...

wonder who that brit is...we shall see...we shall see...

[Flash Bastard]

I hear ya. Hopefully nothing good happened in the last 20 minutes because I dozed off.

Watching Sherry dress down the Prez was fun though. But then they brought in Chase and I totally lost interest.

Not a fan of the 'Chase' character.

[POJO_Risin]

Michelle blasted a guest at the hotel for trying to escape...

Amador got killed with a planted bomb from that freakin' brit guy that was leading him around...

Gael's about dead...

Chase is a deuchebag...I'll be monstrously surprised if he makes it through this season...

Kiefer said he was willing to do one more year...in a slightly different role however...whatever that means...

[lucky wilbury]

i think the episode was just to set up the episodes to come. the storyline has changed so much since the begining they need and episode just to sort of turn the corner on this storyline.

[POJO_Risin]

Well...I'm curious to see what the fuck is going to happen...

Rumor has it someone major is about to croak...and not someone in the hotel...

I'm thinking Chase is about to buy the big one...finally...

[knuckleboner]

i don't know...i thought it was a decent episode. definitely nothing totally outrageous and shocking.

but they pretty much did let you know that the virus was real and that a lot of people, including at least gael, were going to die.

and i guess we won't be seeing much more of chase, seeing as how senior screenwriter, POJO, has written him off...

[lucky wilbury]

good show tonight. it's going to be interesting to see what happens. i wonder if the attack on mi6 was pre planned or it only happen after they picked up that chick?

[POJO_Risin]

No idea if Chase is dead or not going into the final few shows...just wishful hoping...

I missed last weeks show...someone let me know what happened...

5:00 A.M. – 6:00 A.M.

5:00 A.M.
After killing the man trying to escape, Michelle orders the other guests to stay calm. A SWAT team surrounds the place and makes everyone alarmed. Michelle is forced to fire her gun into the air to keep the panicked people in line. She says over the hotel intercom that an infectious substance has been released into the building. Anyone attempting to leave will be stopped. The guests file back to their rooms. The dead man’s wife lashes out at Michelle.

5:04 A.M.
Jack doesn’t have an answer when President Palmer questions why the terrorist used Jack to get in touch with him. Jack has Chase call CTU for a physical description from Alvers. They should cross-check that description against Jack’s personnel files.

Palmer tells Wayne that they have no choice but to give in to the terrorist’s demands because he will kill most people in America.

5:05 A.M.
Phillips asks Michelle if everyone in the hotel will die. She thinks that some of them are immune to the virus because not everyone was afflicted. Tony calls Michelle, and she is upset that she had to shoot a man who tried to escape. Tony assures her that she did what was necessary. He wants her to have Alvers give a description of the man who hired him.

5:07 A.M.
As Dr. Duncan arrives at the hotel with her Hazmat-suited NHS team, Michelle grills Alvers. He claims that he doesn’t know his employer’s name, but he met the man at a Go parlor in Chinatown. Alvers describes the man and Michelle feeds the information to CTU. Chloe looks it up against Jack’s records and sends the matching headshots to Michelle’s laptop. Alvers doesn’t spot the man among the photographs. Jack, who has been listening in, has them widen the search to include those who are listed as dead. Alvers reviews the new set of headshots, but this time he recognizes one as his boss. Jack knows who it is. Stephen Saunders was a British agent loaned to CTU from MI-6 for the operation that brought down Victor Drazen in Kosovo. Jack had thought Saunders did not survive the mission.

5:15 A.M.
Palmer and Wayne discuss how to keep the virus threat from the press. Palmer advises his brother to not use the term “Cordilla virus” when drafting releases to not arouse fear. The President meets with his Homeland Security Chief, Joseph O’Laughlin, who suggests that the threat level be raised to red and that airports and highways be closed. Wayne is worried that this will cause even more panic. Palmer orders O’Laughlin to alert the airlines of a possible nationwide grounding.

5:17 A.M.
Palmer is interrupted when Saunders calls and demands that the Secret Service pick up a package from a mailbox across the street within ten minutes. Before Palmer can say anything more, Saunders hangs up.

5:19 A.M.
As they drive toward CTU, Jack discusses his theories about Saunders with Chase. Jack thinks Saunders might have been captured and has spent the last ten years in a foreign prison. Jack calls a friend of his at MI-6, Trevor Tomlinson. Tomlinson, who has already been briefed on the situation by CTU, pulled up Saunders’s contacts. The only person not confirmed dead is a woman named Diana White who ran a high-end escort service. She lived with Saunders and passed intelligence to him. Diana lives in Los Angeles.

5:20 A.M.
Dr. Duncan prepares to run a nasal swab test on all the people in the hotel, and she begins with Michelle. The results will be available in two hours.

5:21 A.M.
Secret Service Agent Pierce brings the package from the mailbox to Palmer. Inside it is a cell phone that contains a sub-channel chip which causes the signals to be untraceable. Suddenly, the cell phone rings. Saunders is on the other end. He instructs the President to call a press conference within the next half hour on any subject. Palmer must use the phrase “the sky is falling” during the briefing. Wayne is resistant to sending out this signal, whatever it means. Palmer, however, knows that millions might be killed if he doesn’t oblige. He has his staff hastily arrange a press conference.

5:28 A.M.
Chase pulls up information on Diana White. Her clients are very rich and very powerful. Saunders has probably blackmailed these men to raise money to fund his operation. Jack thinks Saunders was captured and tortured, and he now holds the United States government and Jack responsible.

5:29 A.M.
Tony frantically makes calls to NHS to find out if there are any possible cures for the virus. He tells Kim that NHS says there is a 100% mortality rate, and that he feels bad that he and Michelle had been fighting before she left for the hotel. They are interrupted by Chappelle, who asks to speak to Tony privately. Chappelle accuses Tony of putting his emotions for Michelle ahead of his work. He advises Tony to assume the worst, and then turn his focus to getting revenge for Michelle. Chappelle wants him to track bank accounts from Amador’s computer to find a link to Saunders.

5:32 A.M.
Jack and Chase break into Diana White’s house. Diana hears them, and she fires at Jack. He says he wants to speak to her about Saunders. Jack puts his gun down. Diana approaches him with her weapon raised, but Chase knocks her down. Diana tells Jack that Saunders left her and she hasn’t seen him. When Diana asks for her lawyer, Jack says that she is being taken to MI-6, an agency of foreign government, which means her constitutional rights don’t apply.

5:39 A.M.
Michelle asks Dr. Duncan if she can speak to Gael in his isolation. He has deteriorated quickly. Dr. Duncan advises against it, but Michelle goes anyway. She is shocked to see the boils on his face and his bloodstained shirt. Gael asks Michelle to contact his family. She offers him her gun to end his own life, but Gael refuses. He feels guilty because, when he was trying to stop the cylinder from exploding, he hesitated out of fear. If he hadn’t hesitated, he could have saved himself and the others. Michelle walks away, visibly upset.

5:44 A.M.
As they approach the press room, Wayne tells the President that the FBI is ready to move if the phrase “the sky is falling” triggers any suspicious activity. The FAA is also prepared to ground planes if necessary. Palmer steps up to the podium before the throng of reporters. He announces that the threat level has been elevated to red and that the airports will be closed. Palmer also says the phrase given by Saunders. The reporters shoot out questions, but Palmer is vague in answering.

5:45 A.M.
Jack and Chase enter MI-6 with Diana. Tomlinson says that Diana is the registered owner of the address in Chinatown where Saunders was last seen. Suddenly, a helicopter rises to the window of the MI-6 office and men with machine guns begin firing. Diana is killed. Tomlinson is also hit, and he manages to tell Jack the number of the server where the Saunders files are stored.

5:48 A.M.
Jack and Chase run downstairs, killing two gunmen as they flee. They come upon four dead bodies in the computer room. Jack finds a bomb attached to the computer mainframe. He pulls the hard drive out, and he and Chase run just as the bomb explodes.

5:53 A.M.
Michelle calls Tony with news that Gael has died. She wants to make available to the infected hotel guests the suicide capsules that are used for agents who have been captured. Tony can not authorize this, but Michelle has witnessed what the virus is capable of. “I’ll see what I can do,” Tony sighs.

5:56 A.M.
Jack calls Chappelle to let him know that the MI-6 office was decimated, but he managed to save the hard drive that was sorting information on Saunders. Jack will bring it in.

Chappelle goes downstairs and sees Tony grabbing suicide capsules from the cabinet. Although it goes against agency regulations, Chappelle allows him to take it to the hotel.

5:57 A.M.
One of Saunders’s henchman reports that Jack escaped the MI-6 raid, but that the hard drive was destroyed. Saunders is mildly saddened that Diana was killed even though he ordered her death. The henchman also says that there have been inquiries from Chappelle at CTU into their Cayman bank accounts.

5:58 A.M.
Wayne briefs the President on the MI-6 attack. Palmer is worried that what he said in the press conference could have triggered it. Saunders calls Palmer on the secret cell phone. He wants Chappelle killed. His body is to be delivered to the downtown train yard by 7:00. Palmer refuses, and Saunders tells him that what is going on at the Chandler Hotel will happen at hundreds of locations around the country if he does not comply.

[lucky wilbury]

anyone know if and when the new episode of 24 will air? it's getting bumped because of GWB press conference tonight.

[knuckleboner]

i read it's airing on sunday.

[POJO_Risin]

Sunday at 9:00...

So is Chappelle going to get whapped?....and by someone the president puts up to it...

ie...Jack?

[lucky wilbury]

bumping to remind everyone it's on tonight.

[lucky wilbury]

well i guess chappelle won't be returning next season. just when they thought they had him they didn't. anyone know how many more episodes there are this season?

[POJO_Risin]

I think 5 more after tonight...

I taped it and am watching now...nice...two shows in one week...

[POJO_Risin]

Jesus Christ...does Jack really shoot Chappelle?

No freakin' way...

[POJO_Risin]

Jesus Christ...the pres just asked Jack to wack Chapelle...

WTF did I miss...what the hell does Chapelle have to do with any of this...

what are the chances that Michelle is going to live through this?

[POJO_Risin]

Is Tony about to go into the field?

Dude's looking pretty good for getting shot in the neck a few hours ago...

[POJO_Risin]

There are 6 more episodes left...nice...damn...it's going right to the end of May...

Is Chapelle in on this?

[POJO_Risin]

Jesus Christ...Chapelle is going down...you have got to be kidding me...

Bauer's a bad ass...

[POJO_Risin]

That was a nice little segment...Chase's crew busting into the apartment complex...

it looks like Chapelle is going down...

why goddamnit...and six more to go...

[POJO_Risin]

Okay...Chapelle waiting to get wacked...

Hotel dude...infecting wife...and soon...his office...

Whe Chapelle damn it...why not Jack?...wouldn't Jack make more sense?...being that he's probably the best bet to catch Saunders?

Jesus Christ...the whiner...take the bullet and shut your ass...

[POJO_Risin]

lmfao...I'd have shit my pants by now...I'd be getting shot in the back...running like a little girl...

[POJO_Risin]

Holy shit...he killed him...

[POJO_Risin]

and for next week...

oh christ...that bitch is going into the field...Kim...you have to be kidding me...

[lucky wilbury]

saunders went after chappelle after he found out that he was working the bank account angle. they found that chappelle was close then called plamer to say they wanted him dead. this season is getting back into intense mode after a little bit of a break.one good ting though is that after tonights episode we don't have to wait a week. we get spoiled just this one time.

[lucky wilbury]

kim must be the poster child of helpless blondes but to my surprise she wasen't kidnapped this time! the "outbreak" is going to be tough to contain and this time it wasen't started by a monkey! a lot of loose ends to tie up in this season.

[The Knockz]

this show is killer.
Fuck me man... I have seen only 2 shows and am hooked like a fukkin' fish.

[POJO_Risin]

Knockz bro...buy season 1...you'll be hooked for life...

[POJO_Risin]

Well...Kim shot somebody...that's something...

God where is this going to go...

Some thoughts...

is it me...or is freakin' Palmer the worst president of all time...

Jack is the shit...he's one badass motherfucker...I think it's time he beat the shit out of Tony...

They better not cop out on Michelle...it's time for her to go...and for Tony to go ballistic...

Jack needs to whack that motherfucker's daughter for general principal...especially since Saunders forced him to kill Chappelle...

I'm starting to like Chase's character...turns out he's not a pussy after all...

Great episode...curious to see how they contain this epidemic...

[POJO_Risin]

Maybe they'll just close down LA...and move the show somewhere else for next season...

I can't get it out of my mind that the show is going to look very different next year...with Jack as a player...but not the main character...

[POJO_Risin]

They announced today...by the way...that 24 is renewed for a fourth season...

awesome...great show...

if I haven't said it before...the best on TV...

[POJO_Risin]

I agree...a ton of freakin' loose ends...

I get the impression that Tony is about to lose his mind...I'm looking for him to go off...do something stupid...maybe try to save that idiot wife of his...I don't know...it's time to get him in the field though...perhaps as a start to next season...I don't know...

[Flash Bastard]

Naw, man... Chase is still a douchebag. I've been praying he'd get whacked for weeks now... no such luck.

How about Kim's wig? Looks alot more real than her own hair.

At least they gave her something to do besides stumble around like an idiot for a change.

What's up with the speech Chloe gave Kim before she left? "I like your energy, work with it." Someone shoulda slapped her dumb ass.

I'm hoping Palmer's brother gets whacked next, he's almost as big of a douchebag as Chase. Almost.
