I just can't believe how bad some of the acting is this season. I almost felt embarrassed watching the scenes with the President this week. This guy and the girl playing the sister are terrible.

Is your second revelation confirmed? I had heard that it was only for the last 6 episodes?

Agreed that the actress playing Sandra Palmer isn't the best, but I feel that DB Woodside is doing well as the President. However, some of the acting has been among the best we've ever seen on 24, especially Paul McCrane as Graem opposite Kiefer.

In my opinion, the scene of Jack torturing his brother last week and being torn between not wishing to inflict pain on a loved on and finding out the information his country needs was outstanding.

I've read that the second character returns around episode 19. Also, the circumstances in which he/she is said to return promise to be amazing! Can't wait!

[SecretAgent007]

I have to disagree about Woodside. He sounds like he is reading off cards, and not in the good Brando way either.

Yes-my source is reliable. I cannot confirm whether it is a cameo or a full blown appearance, but that character is slated to appear in that time.

[RevolveR]

That should be enjoyable!

I also have to agree with the complaints about the acting on the part of Wayne and Sandra Palmer. It has been a low point of the season. Thankfully, Sutherland is putting in one of his strongest performances so its easy to over look some of the other acting flaws.

I think DB Woodside has gotten better as the weeks have gone on with this past week being his best so far. The speech he gave near the end of the episode was good. He was some tough shoes to fill as Dennis Haysbert (Palmer) has a really commanding screen presence (as he still does in The Unit).

[Nimsworth]

It's picked up a tad with this double episode. Daddy Bauer is really coming together as the bad guy (or one of) and this is the first time I've felt sorry for Morris. He annoyed the living daylights out of me this entire season but I really felt bad for him.

I'm calling it first. Wayne Palmer will be saved by Aaron Pierce.

Speaking of presidents me and my mates reckon if Dennis Haysbert ran for president he would have a better chance than any of the candiates right now.

Spoiler Free: Last night rocked: a back to back roller coaster ride that went by like an hour. This day may yet be shaping up to the day of days.

[Professor Dent]

Definitely 2 enjoyable hours of Jack last night. My only mini-complaint is that the previews for the next week seem to be giving away a lot of the "cliffhanger" moments.

Spoiler

For example, a few weeks ago when Jack & Dad Bauer were "captured" & Graem gave the order to have them killed. We saw how Jack kills one of the bad guys in the previews. While we knew Jack was going to escape, showing us the escape was a bit anti-climactic.

Interesting. I think (Peter MacNicol character) will have a last minute change of heart and save him. Or maybe Assad will. Or someone else. Or he'll die. LOL.

I agree with you dinovelvet, Lennox will save him at the last minute. After the attempt on his life fails, he will then bring in Aaron Pierce to protect him. haha

Reached Season Four now and still enjoying it very much. It shows no signs so far of the quality dipping. I've got about 8hrs to go before the end.

My money is on some combination of Lennox and Assad saving the President (or at least trying to save him). This season is getting better and better after a few slow episodes. Seeing Morris taking a beating last Sunday (on UK TV) was one of the most violent scenes I've ever seen in 24 - very entertaining!

[RevolveR]

Last night's episode was a good set up for next week. It looks like the convictions of myself and many of you about Tom Lennox were correct. I wonder if he'll actually be able to save Palmer, or if someone else will have to do it?

I can't see him dying at this point in the season since his character hasn't really done anything significant yet, although they did take Keeler out of play pretty early in Season 4, so who knows what will happen!

[dodge]

The Glory Days are back again. And Season 6 has moved into high gear on that ever-shifting terrain where anything can happen. Morris is evolving into one of the most memorable characters in the show so far. As for Tom Lennox: Peter MacNicol simply can't take a false step. I'll need a new chair. Sitting week after week on the edge of the seat has worn my poor lounger right down to the nub.

[Tarl_Cabot]

Last night's 24 was awesome! My friend's wife was becoming very disinterested(and complaining alot) and now she's mental for next week. 24 can't be at a high mark every week because it has to plant narrative seeds...they are now being harvested. Excellent show. It looks like Logan is under house arrest/inprisonment rather than at a facility...interesting...

[dinovelvet]

Yeah it'll be interesting to see what happens with him. My guess is he's going to try to redeem himself, and he'll end up sacrificing himself to stop one of the nukes from going off, and be a tragic hero!

Hope you're wrong, fear you're right. Few things are more fatal on this least sentimental of shows than trying to do the right thing. Probably, Morris should've had that drink!

Well said. Definitely a solid episode & next week's will be interesting. I was getting a little irritated with Lennox but he has redeemed himself in true 24 fashion. I hope Marilyn gets a few more scenes. She has the best facial expressions.

[Vauxhall]

This week's episode in the US is likely to be great, especially due to the actions of Reed Pollock, and the reappearance of a familiar face at the end of last week's episode.

Also, just a few brief teasers for those of you that may be interested, not really spoilers, but I'll put them in tags just in case:

Spoiler

Expect a couple more well known characters to reappear in the next few weeks; the apparent emergence of the token CTU mole; an old enemy to reappear; one or two emotional changes of leadership; Jack receiving multiple shattering pieces of information; plus the death of a Bauer in the last few episodes of the season...

[Nimsworth]

Logan with a BEARD! Badass! This has certainly been kicked up a notch. Logan's back, Boris The Blade is a tricky mofo and Daddy Bauer's decided to hit the run.

Lennox annoyed me up the wall for the first nine hours but tonight. Awesome.

[Johnboy007]

Everything about Logan just screams Richard Nixon to me.

Anyone else get that feeling?

Definately. The guy even looks like Nixon and has the mannerisms down pat. I do like the whole "I've turned to God.... OR HAVE I?" vibe that he's playing now though. Only Charles Logan can make picking what you're going to wear look like he's plotting to Nuke a kindergarden.

Again... WHERE IS AARON PIERCE?!

[dodge]

What's going on with that highlighted quote in the Bible...the one Logan carefully repeats to himself? Anyone have any idea?

[Johnboy007]

I couldn't make it out exactly (I wasn't wearing my glasses), but it looked like a passage about redemption.

[dodge]

I thought so too. But I'm wondering...The way that Logan said, so carefully and deliberately, could be taken in one of two ways: he's a damn desperately seeking redemption...or he's a conniving snake who's trying to remember something that could be a code. Do you think?

[Professor Dent]

The bible quote was a little strange. The official website just states "Logan pumps himself up by quoting the Bible" at the 4:41 pm slot. Also, everything in his room was arranged so neatly -- maybe he's a little obsessive compulsive? DB Woodside might have had his best episode yet. The exchange with the ambassador was well done.

YES!



So, Jack is going to break into another embassy, (Russian). Dollars to donuts he is caught and claims that Cheng Zhi puts him up to doing it (Yes, he does make another appearance this season). Take THAT for putting Jack in a Chinese prison for 20 months, jerk!


Just wanted to chime in, ttfn!
