I actually met motherfucking Jack Bauer last night at a bar. I was playing WOW while my roommates and girlfriend went to a bar down the road (lol nerd, you say as you post on an internet gaming website).
I got a call from my girlfriend saying Kiefer Sutherland was in the bar with them(!!) I immediately got in the car and drove over in 5 minutes 12 miles through LA traffic. I went in, and they laughed at me as I tried to eyeball him without looking like an ass. He was drinking with a couple girls, and at one point got up holding a bottle of wine and did a little dance then killed a man with it.
At one point I noticed him walk outside, and my roommates started to go outside to have a smoke. I pretty much had to join them. When we got out there he was talking about football with some guy wearing a Pats cap, and being from boston, I interjected myself into the conversation. We bullshitted for a while, although I was a little nervous most of the time. I mainly associate his face with painful death, and expected at any minute that we'd all be kidnapped or blown up by terrorism.
He was drunk (of course) and hitting on my roommate (of course - her tits were pretty much falling out of her shirt), and overall a really fun guy.
After he went back inside, I asked the door man if they get celebrities there often (it's on santa monica in hollywood). "Yeah, every couple weeks," he said, as the guy who played Bud Bundy walked out of the bar.

Shackers give me faith...I don't know anymore, after watching Jack shoot Curtis and then a fucking nuke going off in LA I am worried how this season will be able to be on only once a week...God Damn. I was worried that the whole Curtis not liking Assad but I didn't think it was going to end up like that, and then...I mean...OMFG who else has to die for Jack to save LA?!
P.S. PLEASE DON'T KILL KIM, PLEASE DON'T KILL KIM...

Of course. You could tell from the preview from last night when Bauer is looking up and some sort of bright yellow light suddenly illuminates his face.
-
-
Oh damn.
Just... damn.
The way that last episode ended..
damn. -

oooh! just found out a bit more about him, his name is Ghram and his group is refered to on the internet as the Bluetooth Mafia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_%2824_character%29
-
great, great 4 hour season opening. I love the shot against the sun as Jack was cracking up and the sun kept going over his shoulder in and out. Really cool. The ending was kinda expected, but still.. to see it was pretty damn bad ass.
And for those of you that complain, Jack will hunt you down and tear your throat out with his teeth!-
I think that must explain why he's always a hoarse-whisperer (get it? "hoarse whisperer? ah, never mind)--all that roughage from the man flesh he's scarfing down as he takes out throat after throat is bound to cause some vocal chord damage.
-

Major problem: WTF were the writers thinking with Curtis? That was perhaps the most ridiculous main character death I've ever seen. Admittedly, Curtis was a throw-away character (3 seasons and never once developed), but him suddenly going batshit insane like that? And then as further insult, none of the other characters seem to give a shit. Bill Buchanon is like "good job, Jack!" What a bunch of bullshit. The poor guy gets shot in the throat and nobody bats an eye.
-
Dude, it isn't clear that Curtis is dead. Bauer was aiming. He must have went for the shoulder, amirite?
-
looked like the throat to me. just above the bulletproof vest
-
Damn, looked like he was still alive. Like he was maybe just in shock or something.
Oh well. America, fuck yeah!
Yes? No? Maybe? -

I think it was, he was really having a hard time shooting anyone. I think the 20 months in China really did him in. Skills included.
He had to use both hands and a log to take out one terrorist outside of Bashir's house. Two years ago it would have been silent hand-to-hand
2 years ago he would have taken that guy on the subway no problem, he pretty much got his ass kicked till he kicked him out the back.
He had to basically tell Curtis to make the call on when to go into the house. He wasn't sure he was sharp enough to make the call.
He hesitated when torturing that guy before Assad shoved the knife in his knee.
He also had to focus really hard, he noticably squinted, when aiming at Curtis. I don't think he shot him in the throat on purpose. I really think he was aiming somewhere else. Just happened that his aim was off, hit him in the throat.
-
-
But if he had only shot him in the shoulder he would have probably killed Assad. It was the only way to be sure. I'm more upset at how none of the other characters expressed any emotion. Everyone was like, "Curtis suddenly went crazy and Jack shot him dead? Oh fucking well." It just doesn't make any sense!
-
Exactly. !!!
-
-
-
Another thought If Assad ends up being a really evil terrorist and is just playing everybody for fools, then Jack is going to look really silly for killing Curtis. And knowing this show, I wouldn't put this "twist" past them.
-
Did they actually confirm that he was dead?
-
I disagree: I feel Curtis might of been the only one acting normal. If this man has been a terrorist for 20 years and responsible for as many deaths as they have said I would of acted the same way. Then when you know the back story it is extremely understandable he would act in such a way. Also Bauer then quits after he shoots Curtis so its not like everything was taken lightly.
-
-
-
IIRC, the reason is that since it's one "day", they need an area with fairly consistent appearance year-round, and LA's a good city for that.

is anyone else wondering how fayed is still alive? he was in the previews for next episode but he had to have been in the blast radius of the nuke. he was in the scene moments before the swat dudes rushed in and the nuke went off. did i miss some kind of secret underground nuke chamber?

I think that's what's irritating me so much, actually. I mean, seriously, they showed it like it was really close to him, etc.

i read it, still annoyed.

but why???? it wasn't that bad a spoiler, i wouldn't stress it, but in the future you might try "future episode spoiler" or something

yeah, i know, i was just making a joke about his name.

Same here. Maybe it'll burn off her monobrow expression, the only one she had during all 4 first episodes.

budget
The show is making massive money. No need for them to build new sets and film in new locations.
Plus LA has that sun-drenched pre-apocalypse feel that works so well.
There are also remote deserts located within 30 mins of the city, which the production crew seems to love. -
I mentioned this elsewhere in the thread, but I believe the reasoning is that LA's weather is pretty static, and it needs to be that way for the entire 6 months or so of filming to look like they're taking place on the same day.
-
Hmm interesting. Still, I'd love to see JB just tearing ass around NYC. Kind of like Diehard 3 except w/out the sucking.
-
-
Jack doesnt know his way around NYC

Which way is the bomb Tom Tom?

Morris can't possibly be a mole. How can CTU have *another* one? It would just be ridiculous. Which means that he is one, of course.
Seriously though, I bet he is using CTU resources for personal gain. Making money by redirecting satellites or something stupid for some private industry. Not a terrorist.
-
-
-
-
Okay, that was insane. I had an idea what was going to happen thanks to Drudge Report but it was still shocking to see the mushroom cloud. :((
Jack : What the hell? He pusses out on sticking some terrorist fuck for information but then goes ahead and shoots one of his only friends in the neck? He better make up for this with some serious scumbag ass whooping for the rest of the season. -
yeah, well, uh.. the adama maneuver was still better. srsly.
-
-

-
Yeah, I liked Curtis' character a lot. He never complained about getting the short end of the stick. He's CTU's lead field agent but always has to hand it over to Jack when he decides to come back. He looked so sad and betrayed when he got shot. It's almost like they kill characters for ratings, not plot.
