What happened to...
I actually thought of a couple things I wanted to write about before I start getting ga-ga over tonight's episode. The first thing occurred to me as I was driving to work this morning and I was thinking about Laura Harris' character (the terror bride) from Season Two. I just had the random thought as I was waiting to make a left that what on earth did all the guests who were going to the wedding think when they found out the extent of Marie Warner's deceit. I mean think about it, you wake up thinking you're going to a wedding. You spend all morning at the salon getting gorgeous, your new dress is laying on the bed waiting for you to put it on and then you get a call from Kate saying sorry the wedding is postponed because Reza is being detained by the government. So you look hot for nothing basically. And then later on that day you discover that the bride of the wedding you were going to killed her own fiance along with two federal agents, and was part of a plot to detonate a nuclear weapon and effectively kill you. So I began to wonder if some of those guests perhaps would have needed therapy, or continued the american tradition of capitalizing on tragedy by appearing Oprah or getting interviewed by Diane Sawyer.
Would there have been tabloid headlines like 'I was the Terrorbride's Bridesmaid'? Certainly there would have been a 'very special' tv movie... Hehehe.. Anyway I just wondered what happened to a lot of the mini-threads like that. 24 doesn't really deal much with the fallout from Jack's bad days. When the show returns we're given minimal backstory; i.e. we sort of know Jack and Kate had a relationship in the three years since Season Two, but what caused them to split up? Did Lynne Kresge make it? How did Jack and Kim get on with each other now that their estrangement seems to be over (barring all the stuff that's happened so far this season.) But I'd really like to know how the Warner family dealt with the aftermath of Marie's actions. But I guess I just have to speculate.
The other thing I wanted to mention was a great thread on the TWoP forums called 'What I've Learned From 24...' I thought it was hilarious so I'm sharing some of the answers here:
Not to leave my neck exposed during contract negotiations.
If I don't tell Jack Bauer who I work for, he will kill me.
That approximately 18 hours of heart pounding action with Kiefer is not enough to make him want a lasting relationship with you.
If you're dating your boss' daughter, don't try to talk to him about it while he's trying to kick a heroin habit and carrying a loaded weapon.
Euros are real money.
When working at CTU, always have a secret "food drawer" in your desk. Overtime never seems to be announced ahead of time and you never know when a snack might come in handy!
And my personal favourite thing I've learned from 24 is....
You Just Don't Walk Away from Sherry Palmer.
12 hours to go! :)
