That is not real far. I told her it was over a 1/2 mile from our cul du sac to the road to put it in perspective. The fallout cloud was also about 5 - 10 miles, which in the grand scheme of things isn't that far. You put that in a urban area however, it becomes more impactful b/c of all the multi story buildings. Having this one blow up in a sparsely populated warehouse complex greatly reduced the kill rate and some of the fall out damage.
Did anyone catch the face of the DAD right as the bomb went off?? He should get an emmy just for that look. Hauting.
I was just trying to get over the fact that Jack just shot Curtis. What the crap??? Did he kill him? They sort of left ya hanging on that one.
The DVD of the first two nites is ALREADY out on DVD, go figure.
Also, Jack's daughter KIM was the porn star on The Girl Next Door (At least that is what SCAR said)
The weasel guy in Palmer's cabinet is up to something
I am not convinced Sayeed is REALLY turning over a new leaf.
I think the Palmer sister's husband is a GONER in prison.
Chloe's new/old boyfriend (the bald one) is my current favorite "new" character.
Still trying to figure out Nadia's role other than eye candy (how YOU doin) this season. She isn't doing anything that Chloe cant do.
The bomb did go off in the warehouse, but didn't the guy get out of the car and walk like less than 5 blocks to get there? I mean he got dropped off in a cul-de-sac so i think that neighborhood was close by.
Jack shooting curtis also was shocking to me.....i couldn't believe it.
I think the weasel in palmer cabinet will get overulled on a major decision at some point since Bill and his wife really can screw with him in needed.
I also love the new british guy or chloe's man.....the more i hear him talk he has the potential for a Hugh Laurie like personality.
The bombing was in Valencia; in a news report on "24" that I read, the estimated casuality is approximately 12,000. In story that may or may not be unrelated, at the beginning of season 4, someone asks about Kim and Jack says that she and Chase were living in Valenica (Chase since left Kim; whether or not the two left Valencia is a different story).
Curtis's shooting wasn't all that shocking to me, because a) the actor that plays him wasn't listed as being part of the main cast in season 6 and b) I saw an interview with the actor (Roger Cross) and he said that "Curtis was going to do something that was out of character for him."
If it weren't for the weasel in the Palmer cabinet, there wouldn't have been the detainment camps, and no one would have discovered that there were "five visitors".
My problem with the new techies is as follows: 1) It says that Milo (skinny guy w/ mustache) has taken Edgar's old job, but it seems like he is more middle-management. I would say that Chloe's boyfriend has Edgar's old job. And as for Chloe's boyfriend... what was he working on that one time that Milo questioned him, and he said he was doing something for Chloe, but Chloe denied it? They kind of brushed that off in the show.
Nadia "eye candy" -- I think she is in the Nina Meyer's "second-in-command" role. She got to that position because she is fluent in Arabic culture, and of course, she's a hottie (although the actress that plays her is a Scientologist...)
Best quote I read so far on the new season of 24: "It's nice to see that playing the Regina King character (Wayne's sister) is none other than Regina King."
As for Sayeed and the other guy (who was in The Matrix, you know, what's his name) -- I predict that one of them dies and one of them helps saves the day (Sayeed probably dies, despicable character with good tendencies usually die -- see season 4 with Beirooz's mother, who just wanted to save her son.)
Speaking of which, did anyone audibly express anger during "the Nativity Story" when Elizabeth was on screen, because the actress that played her also played Beirooz's mother? And did anyone else have EVERYONE in the theatre looking at them for doing that (not like it happened to me, or anything).
