EDGAR OWNED

 

[Drakken]

Am I the only one literally crying right now?

 

[Matlock]

:lol @ edgar dying

 

[Madrin]

Woah, that was crazy. I felt sorry for Edgar.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

Oh my god.

 

[robot]

poor marbles - he'll be missed.

 

[BuddyC]

You're a mean show 24. A mean, mean, show

 

[cloudwalking]

NOOOOOOOOOO

now who am I going to say EDGAH STILES to when he appears on onscreen?! No one, that's who.

Also gotta love that the nerve gas canister uses USB. Found new hardware: Centox VX Nerve Gas Canister!

 

[CajoleJuice]

Silent countoff? Is that the first time ever? Holy crap.

Spoiler

Chapelle

But omg, wow. I can't believe that. Amazing 2 hours. RIP Edgar. :/

 

[GitarooMan]

That was rough, too bad for Edgar.

RE: Silent Countoff

Spoiler

IIRC, they also did the silent countoff to end season 1

 

[Darko]

Silent countoff? Is that the first time ever? Holy crap.

No its been done before..

Awesome Episodes... man, I have to watch these again (encore for us canadians at 10 )

 

[Kai Dracon]

EEEEEEEEEEEEDGAAAAAAAAR!!!

And thus passes a geek hero archetype ;_;

 

[Kuroyume]

Deadgar deserved it. Karma bitch karma

 

[Nameless]

Stupid Fat hobbit...This is all his fault. You Should have thrown yourself in the fires of Mt Doom Sam.

 

[Agent Dormer]

Wow, next looks even crazier! 24 Season 5 is kicking ass!

 

[Matlock]

wtf, they're

Spoiler

setting off all the cans

next ep?

 

[Systems_id]

Totally. He's such a horrible liability. Surely someone else could do his job without the attitude.

Guess the writers felt the same way.

 

[MIMIC]

THEY KILLED EDGAR!

 

[ParkPace]

What a fucking great season of 24 this is. My god.

 

[jenov4]

All those people bitching about Edgar 20 minutes earlier better take that shit back!

 

[Amir0x]

Next episode LOOKS holy shit intense, but they better not just

Spoiler

kill of Kim's boyfriend. That'd be anticlimactic total.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

I KNEW MARBLES WOULD DIE.

Next week: Fat hobbit Samwise.

 

[Phoenix]

Wow is all I can say, I actually felt for Edgar and I hate his character. As usual, 24 remains the best show on TV rivalled only by Battlestar Galactica.


Only one 'plot hole' and that would be the terrorists attacking the presidential motorcade having blueprints for a hospital. Didn't make any sense for them to have it, but easily forgivable.

Good to see they plan on killing people off - and we all know what's going to happen downstairs in medical isolation

 

[Darko]

THEY KILLED EDGAR!

This may be the greatest season of any show...ever..

QFT!

 

[Nameless]

I had to choke a few back because that was truly sad. Though in all honesty I was hoping for a Star Trek 2 Spock/Kirk scene at that point.

Think about it this way,

Spoiler

who else in that room would you rather see go? Besides him the only other person I can think of is Audrey

 

[tedtropy]

Come on, CTU doesn't have gas masks? Their present mission centers around finding nerve gas and they don't have GAS MASKS? Still, a pretty amazing episode and it was a hell of a way for Edgar to die.

 

[Y2Kev]

Spoiler

Tony could give up the goods. He's, you know, wanting to go anyway.

 

[Malleymal]

seriously... i forgot all about him until he turned the corner and even though he is annoying, I was like "damn man that sucks for him" ... also where ever he cam from must have been safe because he lived enough to run into the room, stand there, say chloe, and do his death drop....

[PotatoeMasher]

Think about it this way...

Edit out the preview spoilers please

 

[Joico]

Spoiler

I really think that either Kim's boyfriend goes or Buchanan pulls a Mason and dies for everyone.

Please spoiler discussion of the preview.

It's all that Taco Bell he ate. Taco Bell is resistant against nerve gas.

 

[Darko]

Was the Medical Ward sealed off or not?

TONY!!! :'(

 

[Trombone Zombie]

OMG.

Wow. Intense two hours.

 

[Drakken]

Was the Medical Ward sealed off or not?

TONY!!! :'(

Tony's fine. That was one of the sealed off areas, which is why they moved the prisoner (I forget his name) in there.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Honestly, aside from jack shooting robocop's wife and the ending...this episode was pretty boring.

 

[Vieo]

Damn hobbit got everyone killed.

 

[Y2Kev]

It's all that Taco Bell he ate. Taco Bell is resistant against nerve gas.

I was gonna say it reminded me of Andromeda Strain.

I thought he might have lived because of cheeseburger blood or something.

 

[GSG Flash]

Wow, awesome episode, I can't wait for the next one

 

[Eminem]

Edgar can't be dead. That'd impawthable

 

[Phoenix]

It's all that Taco Bell he ate. Taco Bell is resistant against nerve gas.

It gives you gas so your body is more able to tolerate foreign gases as you enhale so much fart gas.

 

[keiichi]

is Tony in the same room as robocop? Should be interesting to see how that turns out.

 

[Phoenix]

I believe so, that would have to be the medical isolation room.

 

[Darko]

24 + Prison Break = SEX

 

[dkeane]

So is the hobbit dead? I didn't see him make it into a safe place.

 

[985boi]

Damn what a great ending to this episode....just like the way Jack looks and said "oh my god" when he seen Edgar still wandering around. Then Edgar falling to his death.

 

[Netrunner2k2]

24 + Prison Break = SEX

So true! It has been a while, but Prison Break is a great show.

This season is relentless, I love it.

 

[Memles]

First off, let's see some more spoiler tag of the preview...I'm seeing a lot of unsubstantiated comments, and I assume this is from whence they're coming. Please stop.

As for the episodes themselves, an extremely exciting second hour that really makes for a neat scenario. Tony/Henderson in the Medical Ward, the Situation Room isolationites...but what about Lyn? I know that this ending was very much more about Edgar's death, but we really didn't see what exactly happened to so many others.

As for Edgar, it was a touching and tragic scene, that's for sure. I must say that it was obvious the second that Edgar went off to the room that he was a goner, but at the same time it was incredibly tragic when it went down. Definitely a solid use of the silent countdown, and definitely extremely effective.

Thumbs up to 24 on this one. One great Jack moment, one tragic moment, and a nice setup for a little multi-episode arc.
