yeah this season is getting just as retarded as the rest of the seasons.

what i want to know is why when jack and the pres got out of the embassy (or wherever they were) it was light outside, then it went to a commercial break, and when it returned they were outside and it was pitch black.

and yet again, we see a drone that can just hover in mid-air that can fire missles from over 20k feet and hit their target on the ground in about 1.5 seconds.

also lol @ the facial recognition software getting a match in about 3 seconds, and the details being "US PRESIDENT" lol.

Are Adrian and Navaro working for Margot or are they up to something else?

No, it's a separate plot line. That being said, this being 24, it's pretty much a given he will compromise the mission of stopping the drones in order to cover it up.

Wow, Heller has a frickin set on him. I thought when him and Jack were arguing in the embassy (is that where they were? if not, whatever) they were gonna fuckin throw down and roll out their dicks and measure those fuckers up.

And christ, Chloe used to be pretty decent looking. Now she's just super fuckin busted. Just busted as all fuck with that goth ass busted eye makeup. Fuck.

So how is this even remotely plausible. What US president would surrender to a terrorist? You don't look more heroic by doing so, and in fact weaker. Yeah leave a crisis in the middle and disappear (even if it's by dying), and then what? Did you guarantee the safety of your nation? Did you guarantee the safety of London? VP is likely remote in DC or somewhere else. So he's supposed to run the show now? I get that they're trying to go for a shocker and maybe even like Game of Thrones where a "main character" dies, but 24 is just ridiculous at times.

And since when was it that easy to get past the Secret Service? I bet you they have layers and layers and layers of security. Any street access would be watched like a hawk. No one's getting by.

Finally, no silent clock?

the 3 data streams chloe found: 1 was for the drones.
I'm thinking one of the less protected other 2 was for the missles. hack the missles. miss the target

obvious

Um, this is every season of 24. There hasn't been a plausible plot yet in a single season. I like how shocked you are at the plot.

Oh, I dunno, he had alzheimer's disease... so, in a way, he went out on his own terms, the lesser of two evils.

As for the secret service, they were too busy with the hookers! ;)

Unless the missile was redirected to another soccer field close by and some weird shit went down.. that field got preeeeety fvcked up. Anybody within like 100-150ft of that would be dead.

"Mr. President. Mr. President..."

*camera pans to Heller; seated, startled*

Heller: "whaa? whoo? whuut? where's the stadium? where's jack?"

*shot of room full of staff / advisors*

Jack: "Mr. President, i'm right here, sir"

Heller: "We were supposed to be at the stadium by now! we were in the stadium!"

Jack: "Mr. President, we've been in this conference room for the last 20 minutes...you asked me to join you in this meeting."

Heller: o_O

She was on Californication recently looking pretty good. I mean she's a different looking lady but it was dramatically different from what we've seen on 24. No grumpy looking pouting.

Oh, and Heller is dead as dead gets.

That's the limit of a show that supposedly occurs in "real time". If you get captured, tortured, and messed up while playing the role of a goth computer hacker, you're going to spend the entire year looking terrible.
