I thought the ol' man was looking too weak to be Jack's dad. Tonight we saw his true colors. At least little brother got his due.

I can't say I was surprised, but it was a great plot twist anyways! Only 6 more days until the next episode!
That weasel got what was coming to him. Poor old Morris, he's toast I figure. Maybe I've been watching to long but I had him pegged as the one the terrorists were after. I was in front of em on that one but there maybe more twists with old Morris before things are done.Originally Posted by tenacious_dog
whoa, baby. just watched the dvr tonight. don't get chlose to Chloe (couldn't resist).. . Should a major confrontation with Dad and Jack soon after autopsy reveals whatever was in fatal injection.
Still looking for major hookup with Jack and Marilyn . . . (there are always sparks flying between Jack and someone!
Less than six days before the next TWO HOURS of "24"!

Only 5.75 hours until 2 more hours. Wonder if Jack finds out Papa was bad tonight or not until in the season. I thought most autospy results took like 2 weeks, but I'm sure CTU will get it faster than that. Looks like Morris might bite the dust tonight.
After two hours it was looking like Jack finally was going to get sentimental and reunite with his father . . . . not!
Told you so! Sis-in-law still has eyes for Jack, but we'll see next hour where that's going. I predict it was just a tease.
What a loaded two hours.

I really enjoy the show with all the twists and turns. The one thing the bothers me is the over exageration on techincal capabilities. For me it detracts from the plot. I would rather that they not have everything at their fingertips in a moment's notice.

It's about to get ugly between Jack and his dad. Expect lots of collateral damage in the battle of the titans.
IMHO, the use of technology was one of the reasons this series reached the tipping point with the viewing public years ago.

One thing about the technology is that you have to remember this is about 8+ years in the future. I had a timeline for the show at one time and lost it. Anyone seen it or still have it?
According to my research they are about 6 years in the future (2013).
Day 1 - March 2004 - aired in 2001 on the day of the next California Presidential Primary, which would take place in 2004. The primaries are usually held the summer before the Presidential election. California had held their primaries in March beginning in 1996, but moved it back to June in 2004. In 2001, this had not yet been voted upon so Season 1 is most likely dated as March 2004.
Day 2 - September 2005 - 18 months after after Day 1
Day 3 - September 2008 - 3 years after Day 2
Day 4 - March 2010 - 18 months after Day 3
Day 5 - September 2011 - 18 months after Day 4
Day 6 - May 2013 - 20 months after Day 5

Even if it is 8+ years in the future, there are some things going on that are not going to happen. One that comes to mind is the blueprints for every structure they want. Those types of datbases just don't exist and will not exist unless extensive intelligence research is completed. There are other discrepancies that also come to mind such as the use of cell phones in secure facilities. I have known people that have gotten fired for even bringing those types of devices into secure facilities. Sory if I changed the tone of the thread or discuraged anyones enthusiasm for the show. It is still an exciting show to watch.

WW, I know and thought the same thing last night when Tom and Reed were having cell conversations in the bunker, but it is a TV show and is going to bend rules.
It rocks!
24 is for entertainment purposes only. I know many people that will not even watch the show because of the ridiculous nature of it at times, but that is what makes it a show. Rather it be Jack ripping a dude's throat out with his teeth, disarming a bomb with nary a second left, or never getting seriously hurt after being shot at or bombed over 1000 times, 24 is the over the top. That is what the people want to see, though. The technology just goes along with the theme of the show: Over the Top.
true
I don't really like TV or movies (other than Studio 60 & Boston Legal and of course 24) and that is one reason I watch this is to see what happens next.
And yes I know that 60, Boston Legal and 24 is a strange mix of shows as my wife reminds me.
