Yep, when the mugging occured I had caught it immediately that the dude had specifically plucked the key card out of the wallet. When he mentioned he was gonna get paid, that just validated that the terrorists had exploited an angle via the druggy sister to gain access to CTU.
What I loved best about the episode yesterday is that, while CTU has always had some level of comprise (i.e. a mole) CTU itself was never actually shut down. This time, CTU was hit and hit hard. That's good stuff.

this last episode was good. Did anyone else see foreshadowing by killing off Edgar? Though it might have been a good move i am still very dissapointed. He was one of my favorite characters and now i know that I'll never see him in any of the other seasons.

Weren't they bombed in season 2?

Well the bombing didn't result in killing off 40% of their staff. As far as i recall on a few people were killed.
Edgar being killed is a shock, cause he haven't seen much of him this season. Though, next to CLoe he's CTU best programmer, what 's going to happen to them now.??!!

Just saw episodes 11 and 12 last night - man the writers are b@stards!!! Was a big shock to see Edgar go - I'd kinda forgotten about him and assumed he'd got out of the building when Chloe called him to warn him.
Thought it was funny how when the other lady was dying outside the room, Jack said "Don't worry, there's nothing we can do". Then everyone freaks out when they see Edgar outside - If you ain't a regular, Jack don't give a sh!t!!

I thought the same thing. (My dad taped both episodes, HURRAY!)
I think the next episode or two will be awesome. It gives it that stuck in a submarine/spaceship feeling of suspense.
And hurray for Leland Palmer!

Well what a coincidence that Chloe's former supervisor and all around CTU computer ace KIM just happened to show up!

That makes three of my all time six favorite 24 characters dead this season. Mason died a long time ago so only Jack and Chloe are left now. It's taking it's toll on me too. The rest of the season is going to be less interesting without Tony. I know that the 24 thing to do is kill off people the audience likes. I get that. It makes for an edgy show. You really don't know what is going to happen next. But at some point you cannibalize yourself so much that most of the reason people were watching is gone. >:-#

I think the President on the verge of tears and almost literally cracking definitely showed his inability to pony up during a time of crisis. The VP is going to eat him for lunch.

I, I really can't express in any words how much Tony Almeida meant to the show and how vital he was........ 'She's gone Jack.'.... All in all, a heartbreaking episode: Lynn McGill finally fessing up and regaining redemption: Jack's own daughter wanting nothing to do with him. ( She also seems to find trouble everywhere she goes) I still think there is something up with Barry, especially when Jack wanted Kim to go to medical to get a checkup- is she hiding something? Is he? The Vice President essentially stealing the Presidency and Martha fighting back. The introduction of Colette. What's her target... ' faculity this secure?' My guess is the dude from the preview " Desmond from Lost" is undercover.

How did Robocop just happen to waltz out of CTU after he was practically dead from injections?
My guess is that the VP and Robocop are in on it with the terrorists.
The scene where "the head terrorist calls a hot chick on the phone whiling she's banging some dude who has no idea she's actually a terrorist" haven't they done that a couple times before?? Its getting kinda old.
My prediction for the terrorist's next target: The President's compound!

This describes about half this season so far. The "wronged person wants to kill dude who has crucial information" gambit has actually been done twice so far, once the crucial info dude died and once he didn't (last night). Then we have the terrorists blackmailing the President (who gives in) which also happened in Season 3. I gave more examples of this farther back in the thread. This has been a really retread season for 24. >:-#

Holy crap! I never thought they would kill Tony that way. That's a great big Jack Bauer Dammit! I think Kim is about to become Robocop's hostage. And is this really the end of CTU? According to the Homeland Security director chick CTU is a dead entity. I definately agree about the VP being in on it. Did you see him watching Logan when they were talking about declaring martial law? He looked like Palpatine in Star Wars turning somebody to the dark side.
ShadowDog i dsagree that this season has been just retreads of last season. That's actully more true of last season where a major attack was happening every hour. Completely implausible.!!

I'm mostly talking about repeated themes/moments/plot points etc. So in no way am I saying this season is "just retreads." Uh uh. And I'm not really slamming the show or this season. My ass is still glued to the chair every week no matter how ticked off I am right after the ep airs.

I think Kim is in on it somehow. Did anyone else notice the chick with long blonde hair in the trailer for next weeks episode. Jack comes out and says, "Get your hands up." And it looks like the back of Kim. I don't know though. I think what Robocop was trying to hide from Jack was that Kim was involved.

Both of you raise some brilliant points. It could be why she wanted to get the hell out of there so much. >:-# Especially since there was so much talk of Robocop (I love how everyone just calls him that and doesn't even bother to remember his lame character name LOL) visting Kim while Jack was dead.
But the teasers lie like dogs. He was probably pointing his gun at RoboCop who had just taken her hostage.

Bah!! That is true.
I can understand where Kim is coming from, but damn, give the man a break. That's another reason why I think she may be slightly involved, because she is just being a total ***** to Jack. I don't care how upset she is, she should at least give him something!

I wouldn't be suprised if they did kill her, the way this season is going. The way this is going, we aren't going to have enough cast to have a 6th season.
