If you’re talking to me, I’m one step ahead of you ;)
cue evil Keifer laugh from Phonebooth
EDIT: Hmm… my Latin is rusty… is my designation right now “Brother, save and goodbye?”
My Latin teacher would kill me… since I’m still in high school, and I see him every so often :P
EDIT2: Oh yay, my designation changed again… how convenient… I’m not even going to take a stab at this one, since I only recognize one word in it.
Last night. No sweaty Kim. Great episode. I hope the two are not mutually exclusive. Damn previews give away too much!!!
It was so good that, by the end, I had almost forgotten on the stupid, dtupid, “You aren’t going to die on me dammit!!” line as he pounded on Jack’s chest. Is there some petition we can sign to outlaw that line? At the very least, forbid it during attempted resuscitations.
And dammit, how many times must we suffer the “Give it one more time with the paddles” shit! Do all people who are dying in similair situations have to hope someone is around to cojole that one last try out of a doctor? I guess most doctor’s give it a couple of attempts to shock the heart back to beating and then hang it up. “He’s gone. Time of death…what the hell, charge 'er up for one more go.”
You know you’re a badass when even death itself can’t stop you. Go Jack!
Did you guys realize we are on our second hour of the show without hide nor hair nor boob of Kim? Can’t say I miss her.
Two whole hours without Kim, but I had a big moment last night during the previews. The VO said, “Find out the shocking truth of who’s behind it all!” as they showed Kim shooting something.
I now know: Kim was behind the nuclear bomb from the start as a way to get Jack out of his post-season1 funk. She’s an evil mastermind, and I bet she really speaks with a slavic accent.
Also, found this on GG:

It’s nice to know that the love/hate we feel for Kim is shared by the world.
Well we know that Keifer reupped for season 3 to the tune of 120K/per, so let’s hope that makes the rest of the cast expendible.
Based on the plot turns we’ve seen so far… Terrorist schedules wedding at ground zero of their own terrorist attack… Longtime friend betrays president for off camera veep to further delay “crucial” bombing… Kim sacrifices boy friend’s legs for little girl she no longer gives a crap about…
I would say based on what we’ve seen so far the president is actually behind it all because he’s been posessed by Jack’s dead wife.
SPOILERS AHOY!!
I cry for Middle Eastern Jack Bauer.
Yep

I was hoping for some Butch and Sundance type action after that one shootout.
It just goes to show that even our random rednecks are more powerful than their elite superspies.
Go America! We’re number one! Woohoo!
Kim is gonna kill Hiram Wifekiller.
Pretty sure she would have left in time, figuring that the bomb would take out all evidence behind her.
Does no one call 911 anymore?!?
I’m trapped in a closet with a gun and a murderer. I get the gun, the cell phone, and call…
my dad’s work so they can track him down and he can tell me what to do?
Arrrrrrrrgh!
And when the shooting stops he calls…
his potential new girlfriend to take her police escort and go pick up the daughter???
WTF?
Oh wait, it’s the Kim subplot. I forgot, it’s not supposed to make sense.
And now there should be some mad civil war fightin’ at White House West-- good secret service vs. bad secret service.
…and badass Jack.
Exactly. Might as well ask why Kim didn’t hear No Daddy No put a cap in the cop’s head right outside the front door of the house with his non-silenced pistol.
The whole episode was worth it to see Jack take a shot at Lady MacBeth, though. I almost felt sorry for the hacker guy, caught between those two…
There has to be one set of writers for Jack Bauer and then one elderly Three’s Company/Hart 2 Hart writer for all of Kim’s storyline. About 3 near death experience ago, any human male or female would have shuddered into a small mound of runny flesh toned slime.
Jack voluntarily inserts himself into his dangers she just has the luck of 666 broken mirrors.
I don’t care at all about whether it was silly to have Kim call her Dad. There was no better sequence in TV Land I can think of then…
Kim:Daddy he’s moving
Jack:Shoot him, put the gun to his chest and shoot him right now
<bang>
Kim:Daddy…
Jack: Did you do it?
Kim: Yeah
Jack: Shoot him again
It makes you wonder where Kim got all her Dumb from, because it wasn’t from Jack Bauer.
Didn’t you see Season 1 with her mom Terri? It’s obvious the dumb gene came from her. Besides, it fits right in with the show’s theme that women are dumb or evil.
I thought episode 22 was tense, but episode 23 really takes the cake. Gesus. I’m not sure whose heart was beating more erratically, mine or Jack’s.
I was gripping my seat cushions. It’s so good. :-)
Roger - today is Tuesday which means that Episode 23 airs tonight doesn’t it? You somehow leapt in the future and saw it already? Just curious?
I caught the wildfeed (the satellite transmissions that networks use to send the source recordings to their affiliate stations).
However, next week I’m watching it the old fashioned way, commercials and all. A couple friends and I are having a 24 party. We’re gonna hoot and holler as we put new finger indentations into the furniture.
What the crap was this finale?
Feel free to discuss.
