24: Day Six Discussion Thread!

[topspeed]

OK, first and foremost, Wooch and Kex; when was the last time either of you had an eye exam? Chloe? A babe? You're joking, right? Nadia (the director under Buchanon), now there's a babe.




Well, I think we all know one of the reasons Graham wants his brother dead: his wife has a thing for Jack. Can't wait to see the backstory on that one. Oh wait, that's the Lost thread. Never mind...

How cool would it have been to get Donald Sutherland to play Jack's dad? Nothing against Cromwell, who's a mighty fine actor in his own right, but you have to admit that would have been pretty interesting. Besides, Sutherland does a great job of playing slimy characters. Next episode looks very interesting. It takes a lot of bad blood to torture your own brother!

Well, like I said Chloe does it in a more understated way. There's more to a book than its cover (though I did note that Nadia's got a VERY nice cover!), and I suspect that there's a lot more to Chloe than just her nerdy CTU persona, since she's got this thing for tattoos and sleeping around with the other CTU techies. Besides, we don't know what she does on her days off ... maybe she's one of those types who gets invited to all those parties where the in-people hang out!



Of course, if we want to stick with shallower persuasions (and since I'm a guy, I don't see anything wrong with that!), how 'bout them 24 writers giving us a snot-knockin' girlfight between Nadia the CTU Agent and Mandy the Mercenary? (Final word to the 24 writers: don't give me that "But, Mandy is dead" BS! You already brought Jack up from the dead on Day Two, so give us back our terrorist bi-babe!)

That would have been really cool. Sutherland is great at playing characters that just a little bit off-base. But, if Philip Bauer is some higher up honcho in the military-industry complex and could potentially swing anywhere from benevalent businessman/father figure to evil incarnate power broker, Cromwell's a great casting choice.

I suspect that Graham is no one's fool, and could have some surprises in store for Jack. And if not for being tied to that chair and suffocating on that plastic bag, Graham actually has the upper hand on Jack because he knows the extent of his own treachery, while Jack presumably does not have a clue (yet).

Well at least he didn't have a part in ROBOCOP. Last season there were at least 2 actors from the film in it, both playing villians.

Make that 3 actors if you include the Vice President.

I remember Peter Weller, the guy from "That 70's Show" (Dick Jones from the movie I belive), and Jacks brother. I can't recall who the VP was last season. Who was the VP?

That VP would be Ray Wise, he played another member of Boddicker's gang in Robocop.

As far as I can tell from IMDB, neither Kurtwood Smith (Boddicker, and the dad from That 70's Show) nor Ronny Cox (Dick Jones) have been on 24.

Once again, your correct sir. For some reason I thought that Kurtwood had been on the show. Did a quick google for "Kurtwood Smith 24" and came up with:

There is a blurb about speculation that he WILL be in the 6th (current) season.

Not sure what the fascination w/RoboCop and 24 writers are, but I'll BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!
