Oh my goodness, do I get to start the thread? What do I win? :D

Maybe I'm mis-remembering it - but was Martha really crazy? I thought that Logan was just making her think she was, and that she was a drunk. But, now she's sober and has still been admitted to some psychiatric facility. A nice one, it sure seemed, and yay! for Aaron! but I was still a bit confused and hoping y'all could help me clear it up.

Do you mean the stabbing? I dunno about jaw dropping; I saw it coming a mile away from the moment she started cutting the kiwis. The director totally gave it away the way he devoted way to many close-ups to the knife.

Great episode! It was great to see Aaron, Martha, & Charles all together again. Also Jack has to be the greatest escape artist since Houdini. How many times have we seen him cuffed, tied up, tortured, or even dead and he come back just to kick a*s. I can't get enough of that guy!

I thought she was going to slice her finger or her hand or something with the knife. I never expected her to stab him with it. Even when she walked behind him and I knew she was going to do something, I thought she was going to wham him over the head with the plates (actually that would have been a much better scene IMO :p ).

Oh, and when it's 6pm-7pm on the west coast of the US, what time is it in Russia? In Moscow it'd have been 4-5am, I believe. Yeah, she's out giving a speech and her husband is just a few minutes away.

OK. OK. I should know better than to try to map anything in 24 to the real world. But that one just bothered me more than all the rest.

I wasn't paying enough attention to determine where the speech the Russian premiere's wife gave was being done at. It could have been back in D.C., though that too would have been relatively late in the day.

There was no reason to use the speech BS. It's likely the Russian President would be awake because of the crisis at the LA embassy, but not giving a speech. Big slip up, 24.

It was nearly 5a in Moscow when Martha called. Guess the President was in a different time zone in Russia where he and his wife could easily be reached by phone.

Jack took off the downed embassy guard's belt by pulling the buckle end through all of his belt loops.

President Logan made it from a cell to his wife's institution in 7 minutes. Guess the pilot was sitting in the chopper keeping it warm.

Just another day in 24.

Chloe: "I'm feeling ambivalent." Something about this line or her poopy-face delivery just tickled us.
That was definitely one of the best moments in the show.

There were so many ridiculous things in this episode. Most have been mentioned (backwards belt pulling, 4 a.m. speeches in Russia, Logan's 2 minute chopper ride) but the thing that bothered me most was the fact that Logan felt he had to go visit Martha at all. They had already told us that Logan only had a 20 minute window in which to convince the Suvarov's to give up the Consul. For some reason, Logan thinks that his best use of this limited time is to fly to see his ex-wife who he knows won't want to see him. WHA??!! Why didn't he simply explain to Aaron over the phone what the situation was and why Martha was in a unique position to help?

And then when Logan is walking from the chopper to Martha's bungalow, I loved that the chopper's blades had already stopped spinning as if they'd been on the ground for several minutes and Logan had waited to get out. Don't bother hurrying or anything. It's not like the safety of the nation is at stake or anything. :rolleyes: (And I also found it funny that the disgraced former president of the U.S. just landed in a helicopter and is walking across the lawn and nobody even looks up from the tennis game. :D )

+1 to seeing the stabbing coming from a mile away. I even said it to my wife when she was chopping the kiwis.

Even when she walked behind him and I knew she was going to do something, I thought she was going to wham him over the head with the plates (actually that would have been a much better scene IMO :p ).I too thought she was going to cut herself, then I realized that that series of events does nothing to screw up the 24 universe. Ok, the knife is painfully important, so what's she going to do with it? Ohhhhhh.... :)

When Jack knocked out the power I thought "You moron... now they know EXACTLY where you are".

So they had two sat-phones at the embassy? Markov was using one while Jack was using the other one?

How much sour candy does Chloe go thru in a day to keep that look on her face? My Mom and I laugh at her constantly.

DevdogAZ

03-13-2007, 11:25 AM

I can't believe the "cliffhanger" at the end of the episode was Logan crashing in the ambulance. Why would anyone care about that? Logan is totally unrelated to what's going on in this "day" of 24 and whether he dies or not is completely inconsequential. Perhaps they think we care about him because of his role in a previous season, but they'd be wrong.

zalusky

03-13-2007, 11:35 AM

I was impressed how the ambulance got there and put him on a gurney during the two minutes of a commercial break.

The thing I liked about the stabbing was the look on Jean/Martha's face just before she did it. It was to the effect of "I am not going to let America get suckered by this weasel again.".

03-13-2007, 12:56 PM

Usually not much bugs me with 24 because all reality must be suspended or it's not worth watching the show. But ... this time I was bugged by Logan being the one to talk to Martha about the situation in the Russian embassy. The idea was valid in that she did have a relationship with the Russian First Lady and might have had influence. Why couldn't the head of CTU or the current President (or VP in this case) or practically *anybody* other than her hated ex-husband call her about this? It seemed to me that somebody else could present the situation reasonably and maybe get a calm response.

The whole episode seemed contrived because of this.

Church AV Guy

I know the ambulance has some medical equipment, but wouldn't have been much faster to use that nice convenient helicopter that he came in, to take him to the hospital?

Jack does not tolerate two people having a romantic moment, does he? And who has a romantic moment during the middle of a lockdown crisis with two dead bodies and the highest ranking guy in the building missing a finger?

The time-line mentioned with the Russian first lady, to the Russian president to Buchanan was well, to short. It is a good thing that the line that was in the opening of every season one episode was now dropped--"Events occur in real time," because that was just too restrictive. Maybe they are banking on Einstein being right and time not moving at the same rate everywhere.

Considering he is just thirteen hours off a flight from a Chinese prison, he sure has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He could just show up and have people surrender.

Every vice president that has been on this show has had a sinister look to them.

It looks like there WILL be a mole in CTU after all, if the previews are to be believed.

Still one of the fastest hours on television.

Preview note:
So, there's a mole in CTU. I, for one, am absolutely shocked... :p
So, who do you think it is? I've been trying to think and it's got to be the brunette girl... I can't put my finger on it, but I get a bad feeling from her. Well, so obviously, it's someone else. Maybe even someone we've yet to meet. :)

you need a med-evac chopper, equipped with life support equipment, and room for a gurney. since they got the ambulance in record response time, the choice would between the 2 would be the ambulance, since they are equiped for life saving procedures.

this show's writing has really gone downhill. the first couple of seasons were much tighter with the continuity, timelines, and plot... this season is pretty bad.

I worked on a pilot with Geoff Pierson (who played that President) and he said as far as he knew, his character served out his presidency in a coma. The last we saw of him is the last the actor ever heard about anything.

And the russia time thing bothered me as well, but Russia is a wide, wide country. They said that the prez and Mrs. Russian Prez were in Omsk. Not counting our fake DST that we're in right now, that's 14 hours difference from Los Angeles. Making it 8:45am about when they were trying to speak.

For a moment, knowing that this WAS 24, I feared that he was just fine and this was some way of getting out of house arrest and back on the street free.

At least they didn't have the dreaded 'silent clock" countdown for him like they had for Edgar. They SHOULD have had it for Tony though.

Don't forget that they were at an "institution", so it's possible the tennis players dismissed the chopper as just another hallucination. I was actually expecting them to be playing tennis with an imaginary ball. :)

I worked on a pilot with Geoff Pierson (who played that President) and he said as far as he knew, his character served out his presidency in a coma. The last we saw of him is the last the actor ever heard about anything.
The producers actually wanted the assassination attempt on him to be successful, but the network execs wouldn't allow it so they went the severly incapacitated route. Given that, it's no surprise that they would just treat him as dead.

Rick Schroeder did a good job. I liked him on NYPD blue too.

So far, I'd say this is among the better seasons of 24. The reason is, so far the plot has not been full of wild goose chases and red herrings. Some, yes, but not many. So far, we have seen the bad guys well in advance of when CTU finds out about them. Obviously, there is still a lot of time for the complete 180 where nadia and palmer were in on a conspiracy to kill jack bauer by putting him through the gauntlet or something, but this season is a marked improvement over the past few years for me, because of the way they do seem to actually plan a bit in advance.

It's still really stupid, and jack seems to have lost some brain cells in china, but I guess I'm feeling more forgiving of that because for the most part, I don't feel like everything that's happened so far is completely irrelevant (aside from logan maybe dying).

ElJay

I loved it when the paramedic called out to the driver that Logan was crashing, and the driver's response was to continue driving at a high rate of speed, but to turn around and face the back of the ambulance. Yes, driving while facing backwards will definitely help the patient. :rolleyes:
That really cracked me up. I expected them to crash into a guard rail or something given the painful obviousness of the knife earlier in the episode.

I think in a compound like she is supposedly in, the term used for the living quarters is bungalow. Just like it's a "cabin" on a lake or in the woods, etc. They've been there for a while, so it seems to me anyway like answering like that is not completely out of line. Plus, she is a First Lady, so I would not expect Aaron to be conversing too casually when answering a phone call.

Not to be picky (well, ok, just a bit picky - and it's so easy on 24), but wasn't the russian that Jack attacked with the belt talking to his russian boss on a cellphone? Even if he wasn't, wouldn't just finding a cellphone be easier than a satphone? Jack's not trying to call Moscow, he's trying to call CTU.

I thought that when they shut down the phones they also did some sort of local jamming for cells
