I thought this was a special access tunnel, if you remember back when Dana met Kevin she had to talk with him outside.
They set the timer on the EMP car pretty well. Good thing there was no red lights. Those Arab mathematicians are incredible.
But what does that say about the americans, “I CAN MOVE IT” … KABOOM!
Seriously, that guy in the car was a huge dumbass. Trying to be a hero like his idol Jack Bauer. As soon as he got in, he just froze up and was like “Oh shit this was stu–”
Those wannabe Jack Bauers…annoying, the whole lot of them. :bluu:
I liked the episode a lot…did not see that coming. Yeah, CTU got attacked again, but it was the execution that sold me.
red lights… at 3 in the morning? 
We need a recap for this episode (or even the last few). This is a turning point in the season.
Yeah, the timing of it was too good, but damn this is better than some of the other times. At least they didn’t come up through the sewers. Too bad Jenny’s story still feels like it’s dragging the entire season down. It’s like Kim’s mountain lion fight except it’s stretched over several episodes. Let’s hope the EMP erased everything so the damn storyline can die.
Hopefully Dana’s subplot will end soon, the EMP should have done in most of the files at CTU for sometime. This episode got a bit too sensational at times, but it was decent.
“I’LL MOVE THE CAR!”
BOOM…
lawlz
That’s why we use their numerals.
Yeah that was cool. You have to give it to Faruj though, that was a good try.
I thoroughly enjoyed this ep, esp. the cliffhanger. That was an excellently deployed plan that shocked me, good TV.
Even though the entire EMP strike could have been averted by someone pressing a crosswalk button, it was still a great ep!
Nice and chaotic.
Its almost the as if the especially painful subplots (Kim mountain lion, Barooz misadventures, Dana&hicks) make the main plot more enjoyable.
I figured the EMP was only set to go off after the engine was turned off or after the car was put into park.
This season reminds me of season 1 with the more personal story lines, assassination plots and the slower pacing so I’m expecting, and this is pure speculation on my part, that there may be a big Nina Meyers-type twist near the end. Only person I think who would best fit that role is Dana, and her background as Redneck Jenny was only a precursor to something else, before she came to CTU. Working for other terrorists perhaps?
I watched the end of the last episode again and right before the EMP went off the camera showed Dana at her desk on the PC, maybe backing something up?? Plus the look she was giving to Parole Officer Milton Waddams I thought she was going to go into Mandy mode and off him secretly.
Anyways, this is merely conjecture at this point and either something worthwhile happens with her character or I’m just trying to rationalize why they spent the first half of the season on her shitty redneck background.
Am I watching 24 or am I watching Starcraft? Seriously Tehren=Terran? Tehren disappearing and shit = cloak. Then we have nukes and EMP?
My goodness what the hell.
Easy explanation, Jack sent the EMP to CTU to awaken the Phoenix so she can rise once again. She’ll be Jack and Freddy’s only backup, and her titties are all they need. Go Jack, get that killstreak up!
Here is how it would work in real life:
Okay come by my workplace and we will clear this up. Oh wait, you don’t have clearance and you can’t get a warrant with enough authority to bother me at work, I got a nuke to worry about, eat a dick.
Haha. First they mimic Metal Gear (S6), and now they’re doing Starcraft. They must be hype for SC2. :lol:
That’s it, Tehren should now be called GHOST.
Dana is trolling this season hard.
Season could be better but Dana is on a hardcore level of annoying that is taking this season down with her.
Hopefully somebody kills this troll and soon so I can enjoy this season of 24 fully.
It’s the BAUER POWER HOUR! Um…anyone got a match?
OLD JACK and CHASE 2.0 are rushing to a hotel downtown, where SLUMDOG HOTTIE and PERSIAN SYLAR are holed up! SLUMDOG HOTTIE has realized SYLAR’s evil ways, and tripped the fuck out! PERSIAN SYLAR realizes the heat is on, and removes SLUMDOG HOTTIE by force! OLD JACK tells the DUMBASS COP CAPTAIN to wait for him, but DUMBASS doesn’t and ends up getting predictably killed! You can’t force the PSYCHO, son! SYLAR escapes and takes HOTTIE to an underground vault, where the terrorists begin to hatch their diabolical plan of having her dance in her underwear on YOUTUBE!
OLD JACK and CHASE 2.0 report back to SLUMDOG PRESIDENT, where PERSIAN TROY has a mouthful waiting for them for failing to bring back HER PRECIOUS! OLD JACK could have said sorry ma’am, or pointed out that SYLAR is a skilled operative who just killed a bunch of American cops…but no! He shuts her down with “YOUR COUNTRY BROUGHT THIS NONSENSE TO MY BACKYARD!” TROY sits down and shuts up with the quickness!
The terrorists call up SLUMDOG PREZ and demand he hand over his GAMEFAQS on CTU END BOSS, or else they post his daughter all over YOUTUBE! SLUMDOG is already tripping over the fact that SYLAR was hitting that shit, he doesn’t want to deal with thousands of YOUTUBE MORONS! CTU also implores him not to hand over the GAMEFAQS. Don’t use a walkthrough! All the puzzles in CTU are reasonable! If you are having problems breaching our security, don’t give up! Please don’t use a walkthrough! Don’t give up!
Meanwhile, WOMAN AT ARMS, despite working at one of the most powerful goverment agencies in the country, being in the middle of a crisis, and theoretically having the power to say “GO THE FUCK HOME NOW”, is having to play Q&A with HICK MILTON. She tries to use CRISIS AVERSION but she gets her shit guardbroken by JUMP STAPLER -> COUNTRY MUMBLE! HICK MILTON produces a order for CTU’s digital files, and WOMAN AT ARMS realizes she’s fucked! And not in a good way!
Back at the terrorists, HOTTIE uses a HEART APPEAL to cast CONFUSE on SYLAR…and it works as his ANTI-PUSSY defense drops to 0! He sacrifices his life to get HOTTIE to a car and speeding to safety! BLACK OBI WAN calls her into CTU, and it looks like all will be well…
…Nah, not in this show! CHLOE uses GOOGLE STREET VIEW to see that the terrorists have cast PHEONIX DOWN on SYLAR! OLD JACK once again kicks in his PSYCHO SENSE and realizes that HOTTIE is carrying a CAR BOMB to CTU! OLD JACK begs CHLOE to start backing up shit, and while she says “okay”, the look on her face said “Have you seen this show? We’re getting compromised, and maybe possibly killed!”
HOTTIE delivers the package to CTU, and with no time (despite JACK WANNABE #2’s lame attempt otherwise), CTU gets hit with INFINITY! MAGNETIC SHOCKWAVE which blows out their systems! Break out the ABACUS CHLOE, we gotta do this shit OLD SCHOOL now!
With LIGHTS OUT at CTU, can CHLOE find the analog RED PHONE to dial to BATMAN? How will DIVISION inevitably start fucking things up? Has WOMAN AT ARMS been saved by the Y2K bug? We’ll find out next week!
Jesus Christ I almost drop my Blackberry like 3 times reading this.
lol, brilliant, 10/10.
