24: Season 6 (2007) Day 6 (*17):9:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Whether in crazy bad@$$ mode, or in indecisive wuss mode, he's still just not presidential. I just don't buy him in the role. It doesn't help though that I hated principal Wood too. I keep half-expecting/hoping to see Spike show up and beat the tar out of him.

Great episode - best one in a while, except for the last five minutes. What the heck?? Unless the nuke was retargeted to Vice President Daniel's house I don't get it.

Mind you this is based more on the preview than anything else so
I think it's all a ploy to scare Nameless Country Ambassador's country into being more cooperative, and at just the wrong time the President starts to have a relapse just it time for it to all hit the fan
.
 

I can't help how good Palmer looks as compared to the time Spike beat the mess out of him on the last season of Buffy.

This show was good whenever we saw Jack or Ricky. The whole presidential thing was silly beyond the Kim/coyote thing. The supreme court render a verdict in less than an hour, lol yeah right, only for TV effect.

The whole "Impeachment" thing didn't make sense either. If wayne palmer would have lost, do we really think the public would accept the fact that the vp is president, while wayne palmer looks reasonably healthy and is contesting it. Talk about dividing an already divided and emotional country. That outcome is so absurd that I didn't think for one minute that Palmer wouldn't be president.

Then there was the ending that took the cake. Adrenaline makes you want to nuke small countries. Again, the consequences are so absurd that I can't believe they would do it and try to have a realistic outcome. Realistically, if you launch nukes at country A, country A's big brother will launch nukes at you OR country A will launch nukes at an ally of yours. Regardless at that point you're in a full scale nuclear war.

No, but I think the brain damage he recieved (via the flluid pressure on the brain) must have sealed the deal. So IF the writers of 24 are smart, I hope they play off the drain damage angle cause that makes more sense then blaming it on Adrenaline.


Though personally, I'd like to blame either the drug coctail he injected prior to the adrenaline or Bizzaro Wayne Palmer for the whole debacle.
 



Frankly, I don't think Palmer has any intention of nuking anybody. It's all a bluff. The preview for next week shows him physically threatening the middle-eastern ambassador and the missle in the air is to support his bluff. My money says it's either a dummy warhead or Palmer orders it destroyed before it hits the target.
