Your grade is right... :tup:
You mention the van, a big yellow one at that! How do they get these things! And YELLOW??
About the First Man, Gentleman spouse. Rule #1 on 24, NEVER believe your agent is on your side when he says you need to go to someone's apartment. BAD sign. I'm thinking Samantha will somehow foil the plot if indeed she is the Kim of this season. But if the President's spouse doesn't make it, that's fine with me.
Hillinger's role, blah. If he's got something with the hot blond, what was the deal of getting his wife's plane down faster? Makes no sense. Filler, that's what it is, merely filler...
I missed the silent clock, I better go look again. What DOES that mean....
LOL at Puddin.. it's not THAT bad...
TARAsia Fan:
The silent clock was used at the end of S1 when Jack's wife was killed by Nina and usually in death scenes, but this was a surprise. At my old hangout, the 24 Community, we used to debate the silent clock. Some thought Tony should have gotten one when he "died" in S5. I guess the producers hand it out when they feel necessary.
TexasLady:
ACK! NO! I don't want the first female Jack to die!! :ascared

The silent clock from the end of Day 6
A silent clock is a rare event on 24 that features a clock with no beeping at the end of a scene or episode. It is used to punctuate highly emotional scenes, often surrounding the death of a significant character.
Because of often drastically varying circumstances, as well as the infrequency of the silent clock, there does not appear to be many patterns for use of the device. Some silent clocks are accompanied by noises in the foreground or background, while others have faint music underneath.
To date, only one silent clock has occurred before the end of an episode.
The effect of the silent clock could be accentuated by the split screen that is put in place immediately prior, depending on the circumstances. Upon the death of Teri Bauer, the screen was split between the scene of Jack cradling Teri's body alongside black and white clips from Day 1 12:00am-1:00am. Immediately preceding Ryan Chappelle's death, there was no split screen, possibly to create the expectation that the episode was not quite over and he would somehow escape, until the appearance of the silent clock, confirming that he had indeed died. By contrast, there was also no split screen leading to the final moments of Day 6 5:00am-6:00am, but instead of heightening tension, this omission was presumably to preserve the tenderness of the farewell between Jack and Audrey.
The silent clock following David Palmer's assassination attempt at the end of Day 2 and the silent clock during Day 7 as Renee is being buried alive were used to create tension and highlight the seriousness of the situation. Both clocks are accompanied by the sound of breathing.
The silent clock has been used eight times; once per season in Seasons 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7, once in 24: Redemption twice in Season 2, and not at all in Season 4.

I don't think she's dead. That's why I wrote that there would be a lot of debate on the 24 message boards. I believe you're going to see Agent Walker next week. In fact, I think Jack and Tony are going to give her some room to escape.
TexasLady:
I don't think she is either, they want us to suffer and worry. She's the only bright spot so far in what has been a boring season. The FBI didn't even get a perimeter set up around the safe house, have they ever heard of calling the PD for backup? :knuckles:
