On a day with a barrage of cancellations from NBC, axing Deception, Guys With Kids, Whitney, Up All Night and 1600 Penn, it´s time to move to Fox, cancelling Touch after its second season, and what would´ve served as a season finale Continue reading
Election Day is just around the corner, next week, with a race to become the next POTUS between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
I am not a political analyst, so what I can do is make a ranking of the best presidents on TV, as there have been several unforgettable portrayals both on comedy and sketches, as on Drama Television, and even on Sci-Fi.
UPDATE: 24 oficially cancelled by Fox. Via Twitter, Just found out we got the word officially. This is 24′s last season was the message from Mary Lynn Rajskub, also Jon Cassar tweeted about 24 cancellation.
We are reviewing all the cancelled shows and renewed shows of the season.
And this cannot be seen as bad news… Fox is leaning towards cancelling 24 after 8 seasons.
Is this totally out of the blue? Nope.
Is this good? Maybe not either. But the show has had a great long run of eight whole seasons, and it´s rumoured could be picked up by another network if this cancellation is confirmed.
So… is 24 cancelled by Fox?
Probably, just not a sure thing yet… I´d say a 90%.
24 is one of the hottest shows for seven seasons already. It made the jump to the big screen, and it keeps rolling.
Yesterday an all new episode of 24 aired.
Here, filled with 24 spoilers for all of you…
The season finale opens with Chloe working on Husband Operative’s laptop to try and find Jack. Walker tells Kim they currently have no other leads.
We see Jack slide under the garage door of a taxi company. He smashes out one of the back windows just as Tony sticks his head inside and begins shooting. Jack closes the garage door and notices gasoline pouring out of one of the cabs. He kneels in the gas, trying to spark a flare and set himself on fire to prevent his organs from being harvested for the pathogen. Tony pushes the flare aside just in time and knocks Jack out with the butt of his gun.
Kanin and Pierce confront Olivia with the audio recording of her conversation with Martin. She tries to stop Kanin from coming forward with the information, even offering him his old job. All Kanin wants is for Olivia to tell President Taylor what she has done and let her mother decide what should happen.
Tony tells a handcuffed Jack that he has no intention of allowing a new pathogen to be created. It turns out for the past four years Tony has been trying to get close to Wilson, whom he says was behind Charles Logan, President Palmer’s assassination and the murder of his wife. Though he allowed some innocent people to die, Tony believes he saved more lives in the course of investigating Michelle’s death. Jack disagrees. Not believing he’ll be able to get near Wilson himself, Tony’s plan is to load Jack with explosives and blow him up when he gets close to Wilson.
Cara tells Tony that Wilson will arrive soon. She tells him that Wilson “doesn’t know about us,” and that it is best they keep it a secret.
Wilson rolls up in a limo. After Tony and Cara are searched he gets out of the car. Tony pitches his worth to Wilson and his organization as Jack is brought forward. Just then Walker shows up in a helicopter and a firefight ensues. Jack manages to break free of his captors and Tony follows Wilson and Cara into a nearby warehouse. Walker shoots her way to Jack and is able to diffuse the explosives on his chest. She tells him Kim is safe and he tells her that “to end this for good” they must stop Tony from killing Wilson.
Tony makes his way toward Cara and Wilson, quickly killing Cara and pointing his gun at Wilson’s forehead. He gives Wilson a speech about staying alive just to be able to find him and detailing how Wilson ruined his life. Not only did Wilson have Michelle killed, but he had her killed while she was pregnant. Walker and Jack arrive just in time, shooting Tony in the shoulder and hand to keep him from killing Wilson.
Walker confronts the handcuffed Wilson about his role in Moss’ death and suggests cooperation is the only way he can avoid the death penalty. Wilson tells her there will not be any evidence connecting him to anything illegal which causes her to grab him by the collar in anger.
Prior to Jack being taken away by the medics Walker tells him about Wilson’s unwillingness to give up his fellow conspirators. Walker says she thinks she can “make him talk” but isn’t sure what to do from an ethical standpoint. Jack goes into a speech about the morality of torture, ultimately saying he knows the laws are the most important thing but that he could never live with himself if he didn’t try and obtain information to save people. He advises her to make a choice she can live with.
Olivia brings President Taylor and Henry together to tell them about her role in Hodges’ death. She says Kanin has agreed not to turn over his evidence unless Taylor gives the go-ahead. Taylor is outraged at Olivia’s actions but Henry wants his wife to destroy the recording and save Olivia. He goes on to say that Taylor’s job is the reason their son was killed and that she now has the chance to save their daughter. “So help me, destroy that recording and save what’s left of this family.” When Taylor leaves the room Henry tells Olivia that they will “figure this out.”
Chloe heads out of the field office as Janis prepares for Wilson’s transfer.
Taylor stares at some family photos.
Dr. Macer tells Jack his disease is at an advanced stage and that all she can do is give morphine to place him in a coma. Imam Gohar comes into the hospital room, having been called by Jack. Jack tells Gohar he is dying and apologizes for what he has done in his life. They pray together and Gohar asks for forgiveness. “It’s time,” Jack says.
Taylor returns to her husband and daughter. She apologizes, but says she has no choice but to honor her oath and have Olivia put into federal custody. After Pierce takes Olivia away Henry gives Taylor the cold shoulder. In the hall Taylor runs into Kanin and tells him she has now “lost everyone.” Kanin says “not everyone” and agrees to take back his letter of resignation. She tells him about Wilson and they get to work.
Wilson is taken to an interrogation room in the field office. Janis asks Walker to sign Wilson over to Woods. Walker tells Janis to leave. When she won’t, Walker forces Janis to handcuff herself to a nearby pole and stares at Wilson through the one-way mirror. “Larry would not have wanted this,” Janis says. Walker puts down her badge and walks into the room where Wilson is being held.
Kim arrives at Jack’s hospital room to find her father in the coma. Gohar tells Kim that Jack has “accepted what is happening.” Kim turns to Macer and says she wants to try the stem cell treatment, regardless of the risk. Kim goes to Jack’s bedside and grabs his hand. “I’m sorry daddy,” she says. “But I’m not ready to let you go.”
24 is one of the hottest shows for seven seasons already. It made the jump to the big screen, and it keeps rolling.
Yesterday an all new episode of 24 aired.
Here, filled with 24 spoilers for all of you…
Open with Cara updating Wilson that: the bio-weapon is being retrofitted for maximum dispersion, will be detonated at the Washington Center subway stop and should kill approximately 9,000 commuters.
Tony gives Jibraan an earpiece for communication and tells him to ride the Red Line all the way to Washington Center subway. Tony emphasizes that Hamid will be killed if he does not follow instructions. Tony watches as Jibraan enters the subway.
We see Cara put on a wig and glasses and place the weapon into a bag.
Jack questions the man who had been guarding Hamid. He prevents a medic from giving him morphine and presses directly on his neck wound until the guard tells him he has a phone number for Tony. Jack gives Chloe the number and has her run a trace as the man calls Tony with a bogus question. Tony’s phone is encrypted and Chloe is only able to determine Tony was in Adams Morgan. Jack sends hazmat teams to that area.
In the subway Jibraan takes out his earpiece and tries to explain his situation to an employee. She calls over a police officer. When Jibraan tells the man what’s happening, he hears only “put the earpiece back in.” When the earpiece is in Tony tells Jibraan if he attempts a stunt like that again his brother will die.
Pierce calls Olivia after realizing she’s not in the residence. He tells her they are investigating Hodges’ death and that there are 11 people who knew his schedule prior to the car bomb. She hangs up and talks to Martin, who tells her he authorized the murder despite her not transferring the funds. She is panicking and worried she’ll be caught. His advice is that she needs to send the murderer the money: “You do not want this man unhappy with you.”
Kim Bauer calls her husband Stephen with news that her flight has been delayed. He wonders if it should be viewed as a sign she should help her father. She insists Jack was adamant she not watch him die. Kim notices a shady man watching her from a distance. A woman “accidentally” bumps into her and the two exchange pleasantries.
While Jibraan rides the metro we see the disguised Cara leave the device in his car. She exits at the stop and radios Tony that the “package is in place.” She mentions it is set to go off after the train stops at Washington Center. Tony jumps behind the wheel of the van.
Chloe tells Jack she has found Tony just in front of his position. Jack forces Tony’s van off the street. As Jack pulls Tony out of the van Tony tries to smash an UMPC against the floor.
Chloe works on Tony’s damaged UMPC remotely. She doesn’t think anything can be recovered. Janis takes a shot and quickly figures how to find some stored data.
Jack sends the agents away and begins beating the ever-loving heck out of Tony. Saying he has nothing left to lose, Jack threatens to kill Tony. Tony says he feels the same way and Jack eventually lowers the weapon.
Janis sends Walker the UMPC info and they figure out the Washington Center stop must be the target. She grabs Jack and they take off for the location. Jack has Janis locate the signal Tony was using to communicate with Jibraan. They cut in and Tony tells Jibraan Hamid is safe but he has to locate the weapon. After all the passengers leave the train at Washington Center, Jibraan finds Cara’s bag and pulls out the weapon. It is counting down from 1:20. Jibraan manages to leave the subway with the bomb and hand it to Jack.
Jack takes the bomb into a hazmat truck and throws it into a secure section just as it explodes. Outside Jack nearly collapsing into Walker’s arms. She holds him and says “now you can finally rest.” Clearly she has never watched the show.
Kim sits next to the woman she bumped into and has her see if the man from earlier is staring at her. He is not, and we see him walk away with a phone to his ear. The call is to Jack and we learn the man is watching over Kim until she is safely on her plane.
Walker tells Jack about Hodges’ murder. Jack thinks this means people will be coming after Tony and they need to ramp-up their protection to get him into custody.
Cara walks from the scene and calls Wilson with the latest on Tony and the failed attack. Wilson tells her she needs to have Tony eliminated. She says it won’t be necessary, since Tony “won’t be in custody for long.”
Cut to Kim going to the bathroom. The man tailing her for Jack goes the men’s room and is strangled by the man who was supposedly the husband of Kim’s new friend.
Pierce asks Olivia where she was earlier. She says the events of the day overwhelmed her. When she leaves the room he calls Kanin and references an audio recording device that was installed in the Chief of Staff’s office. Pierce would like to access the records but needs Kanin’s thumb print to do so. Kanin said he will be at the White House in a half hour. We see Olivia wire the money to Hodges’ murderer.
Chloe sends a picture of Cara to Jack so he can have Jibraan confirm it was the woman who left the bomb on the subway.
The mysterious husband returns from the bathroom and uses coded language to tell the woman next to Kim that he took care of the man working for Jack. We see the webcam on his laptop is pointing directly at Kim.
Cara calls Jack and sends him a link to the video footage of Kim. She tells him they have killed his agent and will kill Kim if he doesn’t help Tony escape or if he tells anyone of the contact. Cara has him to put the call on an earpiece so she can listen to all of his conversations.
Tony is loaded into the back of a paddy wagon across from Walker. Jack hops in, telling her he “wants to see this through.” Cara tells Jack via earpiece that she will advise him how to help Tony escape and that if any agents (the camera pans to Walker) get in his way he must kill them “or your daughter will die.”
Like every day,we honor those actors and actresses who are celebrating their birthdays.
Today, January 8th, many more are getting saluted.
