[JustPiper]

"24" Themed Countdown Clock (1 Minute)

Set in New York City, "Day Eight" unfolds amidst the shadows of the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations as President Allison Taylor (Jones), alongside new chief of staff ROB WEISS (Chris Diamantopoulos), negotiates international security with OMAR HASSAN (Anil Kapoor), a determined Middle Eastern leader visiting the U.S. on a peacemaking mission. As the new day begins, an upgraded CTU operates under the command of M.B.A.-schooled, razor-sharp head honcho BRIAN HASTINGS (Mykelti Williamson), who supervises quirky CHLOE O'BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub), expert data analyst DANA WALSH (Katee Sackhoff) and systems analyst ARLO GLASS (John Boyd).

COLE ORTIZ (Freddie Prinze Jr.), an ex-Marine who wants to follow in Bauer's footsteps, leads field operations while Agent RENEE WALKER (Annie Wersching) returns with an agenda of her own. Created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, 24 is a production of 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television in association with Teakwood Lane Productions.

RENEE WALKER

[beckybea]

It’s the kiss of death to be Jack’s ‘love interest’. All his women have been killed. Should have been expecting this.

[cleveland gop]

Last time I checked, Audrey’s nose is still HUGE!!!

The rest of her body, almost Renee-like......

[silent_jonny]

Doesn’t she look like Kerry’s daughter?

Yes!

[Chunga]

I thought Bill Buchanan was a great character and I hated that he got killed.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

True, but Bill’s death made sense. He went out a man sacrificing himself to save the President.

Of course, this was also the season where the writers turned him into Hannible of the A-Team.

[Exit148]

I liked Buchanan, too. Was it his choice to leave the series? And they never said what happened to his ‘wife’ Karen.

Jack is really mad now. I want to see him when he takes his revenge. And I want Manhands to have her knuckles broken to make her talk.

[Miss Didi]

Missed the entire show and thread tonight...but you know as I was speeding home in a cab just now, all I could think about was the PEACE DEAL!

[EdnaMode]

If Chloe dies I will throw my 24 DVD’s out the window!

[EmilyGeiger]

I am not happy with 24 tonight! I did not like THAT STINKING SILENT CLOCK!!!!!!!! :/

[EmilyGeiger]

On the plus side, this leaves the door wide open for Audrey to return, LOL

NO!!!

[EmilyGeiger]

NO, she is whiny and weepy. Drama Queen, Audrey was.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Sure there was. She probably would have identified the EMT when she saw the pictures, and that would have uncovered the russian connection.

It made a lot more sense than the whole “let’s blow up Hassan in hour 2” turning into “we have to get Hassan to confess on tape before we kill him”.

[altura]

I am very disappointed and almost without interest in what happens next after the ridiculous decision to kill Renee.

Jack can’t get a break.

Upset!!!!

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Okay, here's the deal. There are a few things in life that must be articles of faith:

Existence of God
Non-existence of “Highlander 2”
and now the non-death of Renee Walker

Jack was just distracted by the phone call from Chloe and he misunderstood the Doctor. The Doctor said “She's going to make it, we're moving her to ICU”

So now Jack is out to kill the people who hurt his woman and after the last credits roll, he will move with her out to California for a much needed and earned retirement.

That is just what happened and since I will never watch this season again, that is how I will always remember it.

It's an article of faith.

[Newtoidaho]

I wouldn’t mind if Audrey came back but no way it could happen, they don’t have enough time to make that make sense. Then there was Jack’s brother’s wife, who made it no secret that she wanted Jack.
Stupid to kill off Renee, she still had a lot of potential in the show with the Russian connection still in play.

They wouldn’t dare kill off Chloe would they?

[bigbob]

Yikes, over 4,000 posts and I didn’t even know there was a live thread...

Shocked by killing Renee...that I hadn’t seen coming. I thought she was a great character.

But Chloe in Charge? That I can approve of!

Poor Jack.

[cubreporter]

Wow...how do you get from one week to the next without “24”??? :)

[cubreporter]

What??????????????????????? Have you even watched the show??? Liberal?????????????????? I think not.

[Brasil]

Jack is having a terrible horrible no-good very bad day.

[Brasil]

Every time Jack says “......I promise you.” it turns out to be a death sentence :o(
