Show season: Whole show  1  2  3  4  5  6  All

Across whole show

Entry Does anyone know where I can find transcripts for the show (mainly Day 1)? [http://www.geocities.com/scripts_for_free/home has the first seven episodes of series one, the first episode of series two and the first eight episodes of series three.]
Entry What exactly are District and Division? [A division is within a district, much like a city is within a county, or a state is within a nation.]
Entry How is Jude Ciccolella's, who played Mike Novick, last name pronounced? [Chick-o-lell-a.]
Entry What is the budget of season 3? [According to Amazon.com, $35 million.]
Entry I was trying to find online who plays Chloe, the girl that worked at CTU. She looked very familiar. Does anyone know? [Her name is Mary Lynn Rajskub. This info can be found on IMDB.com. See this link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0707476/.]
Entry I seem to remember in Season 1 when the show starts, Jack would say as he always does "The following takes place between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m." and then says "Events occur in real time." When season 2 started however, I haven't heard that last line since. Is there a reason known why this line is no longer said at the beginning of each episode? [This is because by the second series people were now well aware that the whole uniqueness was that the show was shown in real time, and therefore the line was no longer required.]
Entry What are they injecting people with at CTU to make them talk? [It is probably Sodium Thiopental, know by the trademarked name, Sodium Pentothal, or Truth Serum. Thiopental is still used in some places as a truth serum. The barbiturate drugs as a class decrease higher cortical brain functioning. Since lying is more complex than the truth, suppression of the higher cortical functions may lead to the divulgement of the "truth."]
Entry How many times did they use a silent clock to end an episode and why? [A silent clock has been used 5 times thusfar: After Teri's death (Season 1), after George exited CTU for the last time (Season 2), after President Palmer was poisoned and fell to the floor (Season 2; Palmer's heavy breathing and heart beat are heard in the background), after Jack executed Chappelle (Season 3; a train whistle is heard in the background), and after Edgar was killed by the nerve gas (Season 5). The silent clock has traditionally been used during extremely emotional moments, and most often after a character has died.]
Entry Whenever the agents are interrogating somebody at SCT, they sometimes torture them. By doing so they sometimes stick a needle into somebody and injects something into their bloodstream. This causes severe pain in the person as you can see them either scream or see the pain etched on their face as they try to hold it in. What is it they are injecting into people and how does it work that it causes so much pain? [It's a fictional drug called hyoscine-penothal. I don't know if why it causes so much pain has been explained, but it's been described as a neural inflammatory; it gives the feeling of "every nerve ending in your body on fire." It's a useful tool because if one doesn't yield soon enough, at 8 cc's, one can go into cardiac arrest and die before giving up any useful information.]
Entry In "24: The Game," was the 3-D model of Peter Madsen based upon Christian Kane, who provided the character's voice?

11:00 P.M.-12:00 Midnight (series 1)

Entry Why does Nina speak German to her contact when the Drazens are Serbian? [As she said to Jack she wasn't working for the Drazens, she was working for some Germans as well as they were telling her to go to Berlin.]

10:00 P.M.-11:00 P.M. (series 1)

Entry If Nina wasn't working for the Drazens, then why was she the one calling to tell them about Jack's movements, and Palmer's faked death? [If she was a mole inside CTU, why couldn't she have been a mole inside the Drazens?]

3:00 P.M.-4:00 P.M. (series 1)

Entry Who provided the voices of the CTU routing operator and Agent Watson?

1:00 A.M.-2:00 A.M. (series 1)

Entry Who were the unidentified shooters that killed Richard Walsh and Scott Baylor? [You answered the question yourself. They were unidentified. They were probably some kind of Delta Unit or even hired goons, but they aren't mentioned again.]

12:00 Midnight-1:00 A.M. (series 1)

Entry Why does Kim tell Rick that her Dad is dead? [The sympathy vote. She liked him and wanted to score with him. By saying that, she figured he would maybe hug her or hold her or something.]

All of series 1 (series 1)

Entry Which episodes of 24 were submitted for its Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series? [The whole series was considered for the Outstanding Drama Series award. For the Outstanding Directing in a Drama series award it was the 10-11pm episode that was nominated.]
Entry Did the actress who plays Nina know the entire time that she was supposed to be bad, or was this written into the show mid-season? [Nobody knew, not even the writers, until at least halfway through the season when they were writing the end. They wanted to keep all options open.]
Entry In an interview, Elisha Cuthbert mentioned the director sticking a stuffed rabbit in the background in some scenes so that you can only see its shadow. I don't think there was any special reason for this. Has anybody spotted the shadow of this stuffed bunny? If so, where can it been seen?
Entry Does the main twist at the end actually make any sense? Could Nina really have been working against Jack and is there any subtle evidence of this earlier on? It seemed to me like the ending was chosen because it was the most shocking, but the least logical. Some examples of Nina trying to hinder Jack or just acting suspiciously would be appreciated. [The producers actually decided on this twist half way through the season. I'm unsure about the upcoming season five, but in the past, the writing team have only written six or seven episodes at a time and then deciding where to go next whilst filming. An example of Nina acting suspiciously would be when she left Kim and Teri at the safehouse fairly soon before it was attacked. Although it seemed that she left due to Teri's realisation that it was Nina who was seeing Jack during their separation, this has been cited as a red herring - more likely is that she left them and told the bad guys where they were.]
Entry Why was Carlos Bernard credited as a "Special Guest Star"? [Without talking to the producers, it's impossible to be sure, but it's possible he was gonna be killed off early, or only appear in a few episodes. As the show developed he developed into a more stable character and became a regular cast member.]
