Just a reminder to everyone, because like you'd forget this (!) that 24 Season 3 starts on Sky One tonight at 9PM - with no editing out either.
From the trailers it looks rather excellent..."You have a virus"...

I wondered that, I'm thinking that something goes, or has gone, wrong with the plan regarding the virus.
Blank, I think you need to lighten up on the criticism!
I mean where you are on about Jack throwing the stuff at the computer? Come on, if you watched it you know Jack isn't acting rational because he's going cold turkey. Chase knows that and that's why he leaves the room so Jack can do what he wants to do - Chase tells him beforehand that he knows what Jack is going through but today isn't the day to be caught up in it.
As for Kim - yeah it's hard to believe but people can learn a hell of a lot in 3 years time and all we've actually seen her do is pretty mundane stuff actually. She's a low level analyst - over here, in real life, you could get that job with decent A Levels and with on job training, providing you could stomach the crap salary given the work involved.
Michelle and Tony? Did you watch the last series? Even so the wedding ring on her finger was pretty obvious before she even said anything to Tony.
Palmer and the Doctor - for starters this may well be a plot line anyway, secondly, of course he's not going to kiss her whilst he's doing presidential stuff! When he does kiss her it is the first time he is in private with her, hence the kiss. He clearly isn't married to her or at least there is no evidence yet to say so.
Sure Blank, niggling details may have ruined it for you but to me it sounds like you sat making them up.
Ads I have no problem with, the Americans get ads anyway and I'll take ads with a 24 episode uncut run at decent times of the day anytime over how the BBC treated the program.

That's just the first episode I think - it was an extended one. And BBC2 threw it out anyway, so it wouldn't make much difference.

Good thinking, Batman.
And yeah, I agree with the general concensus (sp?) that the ads spoil it.
The major thing being that it throws the Real Time malarky all out of proportion, which I feel would be a key part of the series while watching it.
Stupid crappy adverts. And I can see those Nivea ones getting on my tats pretty early on.

Yes, I noticed how he was himself doing up the bag of white powder and making sure it was ok when we first met him. Suggesting he's been tampering with it or such like.
Also of interest, is how his mother is going to the doctor's. Coincidence, or a virus victim?

I watched it. It was pretty bad.
The adverts ruin it, especially the Nivea ones and Sky One's "24" bleeps thing at the beginning and end of the breaks.
Jack starts to take drugs, while in a government office, then decides not to inject them but instead squirt them all over said government office, and then throw the needles and all, still covered in drugs, over a load of highly sensitive government computers. Yeah, he would do that, because he's a real novice.
Kim working in CTU, and being a complete whizz, despite the fact that three years ago she had zero knowledge and was a nanny by profession.
Jack's partner......an assface.
Chloe......see above.
People talking as normal, then they kiss and we're supposed to believe they're in a relationship. Tony and that other women from the last series, talking in the same suspicious manner as last series, then it turns out they're married. Palmer, talking to the doctor as if she was just a doctor, then they kiss and it's supposed to be believable.
Loads of niggling little details the spoiled it, plus bloody fat ad breaks. I'm losing interest, I probably won't watch it for much longer.

What got me is the way attention was given to her giving him the pills, plus earlier he says she has treated him since the assassination attempt, yet he has not recovered. now, on the day that a deadly virus is about to be unleashed (potentially) she gives him some new pills...
I think there is far more to this whole virus thing than just getting that guy out of prison and I'll bet money that the guy we think has the infected drugs doesn't. He'll possibly have substituted the stuff for something else, or lost it and replaced it.

Oh I know what you're talking about, I've seen the first two series.
I was just hoping for them to hit us with a sort of "wake up" first episode, like the first one in season one.

Why I continued to read that once I'd got to "guess" is beyond me.
Bahhh. And I'd never thought of that.

Jack almost jacked up.
That's what they'd have said on Pure 24, damn I miss Pure 24.

Pretty excellent stuff I thought, as Snuggly says there was an air of predictability about it but this was countered by the fact that nothing is ever as it seems in this show.
I'll make an early guess and say that the president's doctor is somehow involved, this is based on the emphasis given to her handing him the pills.
Plus, that South American guy's girlfriend, who saw the bodies being dumped, is going to be how CTU/Jack find that place and/or that guy. Bet her father becomes ill or something.
Should be a very interesting series.
