Hey. Nice to see a new face.

Welcome to the boards.

Oh, I'm absolutely psyched. Can't wait to see it next Friday when it opens here. Went to pick up the tickets today. I do get that warm and fuzzy feeling again, seeing the trailers and stuff. Ahhh, it's all coming back to me now.

:lol: For some reason that just cracked me up. And I do agree with the statement *grin*.

As for Voight and Tony's possible role: the uber-baddie thing does have a bad ring to me, as we know the past. I do hope that as far as Tony goes, it's the last option that Steve presented. Since, if it's A, we all know he won't survive the day if Voight's character is pulling the strings. And as for B, I don't see there being any way to force Tony to work for them, as pretty much the only reason for that on the personal level is gone, IMNSHO. I still don't think he'd do that *again* if it's the whole civilian casualties angle.One more thing against option A, I really don't see Tony working as a midlevel henchman or even 2IC with his knowledge of the system. We know he has more than just a small independent streak when it comes to accepting orders, or had anyhow.

Ave Caesar....

Otherwise an OK day, but swamped with work *wall*. So pretty tired now.

The date does seem to live up to the implication in my case.

I never wanted him back after s5, nor would have I wanted him there in the first place had I known what they will do to him. I just wished they would have handled his demise with a little more consideration and class that he deserved.

Tony was always the character that was the most lifelike in a way, closest to a "normal person", so to speak. He was put in situations that got you thinking "what would I do in that situation", since nothing could ever happen to Jack, that he would die. Whereas Tony was fair game.

I hope you're right about the undercover op, I really do,because if you aren't they have blown it. Bringing him back as a terrorist is undoing every single things they had him stand for in s1-5. He grew as a character and evolved each season, now they just undo that.

I cannot help but feel betrayed.

Alright everyone. Cool down a little, no need to be at each other's throats, ok . People can't always agree on everything.

And try to get back on subject.

Hehe, yeah smitten I agree, Chase is a good character. Seems to (most of the time ) work well with Jack. But doesn't appreciate being sidelined, and why should he, he is just doing his job. Regardless of the fact that Jack wants to keep him out of harmd way if he is dating Kim. Uhhmm, wrong line of work for that.

Gael, the first time I saw what was going on, my reaction was "Not again!". But they played it pretty well, even if Kim was again the one who had to get into trouble again for discovering it .

The whole scheme that Jack, Tony and Gael devised is immensely ellaborate, I've only now started to realise it, trying to figure it out. So many things to take into account and even then, so may things go wrong during the day that affect the operation. Tony gets shot, Chase goes rogue and heads to Mexico and then some other tihngs still to come....

Ahh, then there's Tony and Michelle. I really liked the way they brought up the fact that the two are married. The rings, hehehe. They work well together, running CTU. And they also bring out the personal aspect into CTU and to the show in general, jmho. Some of my favorite discussions between them is in these eps.

"I'll go anywhere with you, as long as I don't have to cook."

"Sweetheart, if you promise not to cook, I will take you with me anywhere"

That being one of them.

Oh, the angst. The look on Michelle's face when she found out Tony had been shot. And yet, she had to stay at CTU as there is no one else, essentially. That has got to be hard. She couldn't really deal with it as she had to keep things running. Aww . And then when Ryan does come in, he isn't about to let Michelle leave. *sigh*

Heh, with the risk of appearing like a total controling idiot, I just have to post the direct quote from the scene that emma mentioned. It's such a great scene and the dialogue is terrific . I know it by heart . Fanatical, me? Naaahhh.:)

Well, all we've been able to dig up on him are a few random medical records under one of his known aliases. He had an MRI on one of his knees, there's a prescription for antibiotics, treated for HIV ...
Dalton:  Her pulse is spiking. Someone hasn't been using protection with Marcus Alvers.
Michelle: She's probably had sex with him.
Tony: See Nina, my colleagues in the next room tell me something in those medical records concerns you. I'm guessing it's not the knee.

I remember someone else having a relationship with their second in command at work. *hahem*. But that turned out a bit different, then just an affair.Hehehe.

And I do agree with Mozz's comment about Jack ever laying a hand on Tony .

I can't really think of anything that would be absolutely unforgivable. Most of the things were judgement calls, made in a tight spot. Hindsight is always 20/20.  No matter who makes the calls, it's always easy to analyze it afterwards with all the facts.

Heh, yeah. George is just hilarious, "Jack opted to stay in the field, literally.". His comments somewhat lightened the somber mood of the eps. As for Teri, I don't think she's stupid as such. THe last scene with Nina was in my opinion just a classic case of wrong place, wrong time. But hey, future seasons might have been quite different had she survived this one.

One thing that occured to me while watching the later eps here. Even though in S1 Jack is officially the director of CTU, he has never been there to actually run it . He's always in the field.  In this season it's George who runs it, and in the future it's Tony or Michelle, even if Jack has a director position. Bet you he just couldn't handle paperwork and the bureaucrats !

Oh, bring on S2 and more Tony!

Heh, Transformers was a classic as a cartoon, used to watch that too. We'll see what comes of the movie.

Simpsons, heheh, looking forward to that, although I am a bit worried how they can sustain the momentum for a whole 90 or so minutes as opposed to a 25 min ep.

Ocean's 13, yep. The reviews have been quite positive. The second one was a bit of a let down , so i'll hope this will be better.

Never really watched any of the Bourne movies or read the books, so I won't comment on it.

As an old Die Hard fan it's interesting to see how the new threats of the 21st century play into Mclane's adventures. But I do get the feeling he might be a bit old for that....both the actor and the character.

And another summer blockbuster that hasn't been mentioned yet: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Anyone seen it?I went to see it a couple of weeks ago and I think it was pretty good. Admitted, a bit confusing at times with so many plot lines, but all in all good entertainment for forgetting everyday life for a few hours.

Heh, watched the two first eps too. Ah what can I say, so much has changed since then. I did like the beginning, as weird as it felt seeing Jack in a domestic setting. The scene between him and Kim did have a good feeling in it.

Even if it was more Kiefer than Jack in the beginning, it was a nice ground to built things on. The harder edge comes later as things start to happen.

Then, Almeida . Where to begin? Heh, the ever present sarcasm, and his doubtful nature. "Oh and he's Mr. Clean, huh?" "But when you and I punch out, we're something else. OK?" :D:D. Almeida is God.

He's never been too good at being just pushed around.You could see it as Jack gave him an order, not too happy to follow it...but he did. And later as he puts together 2 and two about what happened to Mason in Jack's office . Not buying Nina's explanation. "Very incisive", even then .

They started with a good mix of action and lead-ins. Not just continuous action and explosions right in your face all the time. The way it should be.

Another classic Tony line: See Nina, my colleagues in the next room tell me something in those medical records concerns you. I'm guessing it's not the knee. :cool:
