More on 24


Really good double episode of 24 this week, although I was crushed that they killed Edgar. I loved his character and thought they were going to develop something more between him and Chloe. I just hope they don’t kill Chloe. I love her attitude and facial expressions.

I didn’t care much for Kim returning. Maybe they just brought her back so they could kill her. Her character has annoyed me from the very first year. The way she reacted after finding out her dad was still alive . . . there wasn’t even a flash of her being torn between happy and pissed. A better actress might’ve been able to pull that off in a more believable manner, but not her.

I was also bothered by how Henderson managed to blow up the room he’d locked Jack in, yet Jack still managed to get out and made it back to Henderson’s house before Henderson did. They didn’t show anything to account for it taking him so much longer to get there.

Kim’s “boyfriend” (Barry?) is creepy. I’m guessing he might be some kind of a mole, knowing she’d eventually get him inside CTU.

And finally, I’m thinking Tony’s days are numbered. With Michelle gone, I have a feeling he’s due for some heroic last act, although he’ll probably off Henderson first. (They were both in the same room at the end of Monday’s episode, and I think he knows he was responsible for Michelle’s death.)

    Actually they did explain Henderson’s timeframe. In his car he phoned his bank and requested access to his safety deposit box. Later at his home, Jack opened the briefcase Henderson walked in with and revealed the cash. It is assumed that Henderson stopped at the bank and removed the money from his safety deposit box, planning to flee.

    The show seriously lacks without the strong presence of President Palmer. I always felt Dennis Haysbert and Kiefer Sutherland equally shared credit for 24 being so good. The best seasons by far are 1 and 2. There will never be as good a villian as Nina Meyers, either.

    Thanks for explaining that about Henderson. I must’ve missed that. (Trying to housebreak a pup so if he even looks mildly watery-eyed, I grab him and run.)

    I agree about President Palmer’s absense taking something away from the show. He was a class act. And Nina–the best villian ever.
