Man LOL how many has CTU been taking out now??? :smh:

Plot for next season on NBC

BGOL CSI hacks CTU to find info on Ock candidates.

:hmm:

And the whole Starbuck cheaaaaaap ass side plot is truly a total waste of time so far. :hmm::hmm::hmm:
 
Okay, I finally caught up with the episode. And as interesting a "twist" as it was (even though it's happened 2-3 times already), I just have to say... how does that even happen?

I understand that they want to get the daughter back to CTU, but wouldn't they get her to stop somewhere and pick her up in a secure vehicle? They just let some random car drive right on into CTU like it's nothing?

What's the point of the security and putting it at the end of a tunnel and all of the other precautions that are supposed to be in a Counter Terrorist Unit if they don't act paranoid enough to keep someone from blowing up their base of operations?

And then the world's most convenient EMP most likely just saved the world's most pointless side plot. They're starting to make me miss Kim and cougar...

Speak for yourself on bolded portion. As for everything else, valid points i guess but remember two things;

1) Its a suspense/action/drama
2) They are always under intense time constraints which makes some of your expectations not only inconvenient but impossible.


BUT, if we're gonna get nitpicky, my issues would be with more blatant absurdities. Like how does a backwoods yokel make it in a high security position like CTU with a recently fabricated life history? And why does someone who is smart enough to successfully fabricate an entire life history not know how to outstmart/lie to a fucking PO and/or know that a PO has zero authority and jurisdiction over anyone or thing that aint his parolee (not to mention him crossing state lines and conducting his own investigation).

Yeah, I may have overstated things with that cougar comment. :lol:

But I get you. 24 as a show forces you to accept a few conventions in order for you to enjoy the show at all.

If I were really going to nitpick anything, it would be that first thing you stated: how did Dana ever clear a background check to work at CTU? I'd get if maybe she had been in witness protection or something weird like that, but they've made it clear that the whole thing is a deception. So again, how would she pass muster to work in, of all places, CTU?

Just getting a chance to watch last week episode now.

Did I just see Hassan's ex bodyguard take down three SWAT team members, in full tactical armor..... with a small caliber handgun?

:hmm::hmm::hmm:
 
Parole officer just STROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLIN' along thru CTU during the middle of a national crisis. Alrighty then.... :hmm:

Honestly, if he cause something to explode within CTU, it would be more believable than Bubba calling for "SECURITY!!!"

That part alone is whats really bugging me about this season! I just keep thinking WTF
 
Um, I thought a EMP meant that ALL electrical devices in the area are shut down, including cell phones, on or not??

Chloe is reeeal worried about Jack. Wonder if she is carrying his baby??
 
This is some bullshit, outside the door he was gung ho for arresting her, now, he's pro-Chloe?? This is a comedy.
 
Starbuck needs her ass beat, and the writer who came up with that plot-line needs his ass beat too.


ENOUGH WITH THE GOTDAMN PAROLE OFFICER!!!!! :smh::smh:

FUCKING CTU JUST GOT HIT WITH AN EMP, AND THEY'RE LETTING CIVILIANS COME AND AND GO AS THEY PLEASE?
