FOR FANS OF THE TV SHOW 24----500 Ways to Ruin Day 6

Author
Time
Over on the IMDb, there is a great community for 24 fans. While we don't know each other as well as we do here at original trilogy, there are about 30 or 40 some regular posters (including myself) who all know each other well, and even the irregular posters are nice and have great opinions. It's a really fun place to post on, and of the things we do on that board is countdown games. 500 ways to ruin something, or improve something, or something to that extent. First poster starts with the number 500, and the next does whatever number the previous poster left off on (say 495) down to another number, depending on how many ways they come up with.

This is the compiled version of the 500 Ways to Ruin Season Six of 24. It is the best countdown thread we've ever done. It's hilarious, and I was on the floor laughing reading it sometimes. I contributed probably 40 or 50 ways to the thread. I loved this thread so much I compiled it all in to one spot---Microsoft Word. I took all the posts, fixed grammar, spelling, added punctuation and revised a few of them for clarity. I also fixed miscounts (we get a lot of those) and got rid of "repeats." For example, about twelve people said a way to ruin season six of 24 would be to bring Kim back. In my compiled version, there's only one of these. I left in some of the variations on it. If anyone posts over there, you'll recognize this. If you haven't and you love 24, I guarantee you'll love this. I would reccomend you copy it into Microsoft Word and print it out or just save it if you are enjoying reading it. Keep in mind that many or most of these pertain to the fifth season, so many of the jokes will be lost on people who are just picking the show up. There are also spoilers. Some might not make sense, because many are "in-jokes." You have to be familiar with a TV show or movie to get them.

Here goes...the longest post ever on originaltrilogy.com.

336: Jack realises Kim isnt his daughter and starts a relationship with her

338. Jack discovers that Dan Brown is behind the events of day 6 and the whole plot is plagiarised from a book written in 1980 by a former Doctor Who scriptwriter.

336. While in China, Jack discovers an evil plot (TM) by one David Lo Pan to marry Audrey and then sacrifice her to his demon god.

334. The whole episode takes place in Jack's apartment where he's watching several Kurt Russell films.

333. Kurt Russell infiltrates CTU, helped by an army of chinese magicians, where he blows the building up.

332. Someone (possibly a bored producer) keeps messing with the onscreen clock, sometimes stopping it for a few minutes and other times moving it forward or backwards by an hour or two. Jack gets confused.

331. None of the cast appear. Instead, all we get is the clock display (and associated sounds) on the screen for the entire 24 hours.

330. Jack gets married to Audrey. No terrorists appear at all. Curtis is Jack's best man. Bill Buchanan gets very drunk and falls over.

329: Cubby, with remnants of Tony's DNA on the cup, and in an accident with a power socket, becomes Tony MkII and takes Tony's office for good.

328. Jack doesn't break anyone's neck with his legs (I think it's called the CQC neck break or something...?)

325. Jack doesn't shoot anybody for an hour.

324. Curtis is ordered by Bill Buchanan to lay off the donuts, or he'll get too fat for fieldwork.

323. No largely pointless and expensive terrorist attacks, which are really just diversions for another diversion, which disguise the ultimate goal. Which never gets explained properly.

322. Jack discovers the organization running things behind the scenes is led by a cancer-eating genetic anomaly who has the bizarre ability to regrow parts of his body very quickly. This leads to the realization that Audrey has cancer.

321. The villan is Ryan Seacrest.

316: The prequel of Day 6 shows Jack and Audrey, married, and now in mariage counseling. The counselor says that the best thing to do is a 24 hour counseling session. So the final words of the prequel would be...

---Jack finally married the woman of his dreams.

---But it wasn't working out.

---Jack Bauer never thought he'd be in a counselor’s office for 24 hours straight.

---Then Day 6 began....

315: The climactic finale of the scenario above is that Jack and Audrey start having sex in the counselor’s office, for the last nine hours of the season. However, to keep the TV-14 rating, it is all very, very dimly lit, cleverly hidden, and only a few suggestive sounds occur here and there. (Kind of like in PG-13 movies that don't want to step over the line.)

314: Have the whole season take place in Nova Scotia and have Marwan come back with and army of evil muntant- dinosaur-aliens.

313: The terrorists release SUPER AIDS into the population.

312: CTU tries to stop terrorists from blowing up Dodger Stadium, but realizes that it's pointless because no one would die since the bomb isn't going to explode until the eigth inning, when everyone would have left the game already.

307: Chloe's computer explodes while she is sleeping, with her head on the desk inches from her computer. Thus, she dies.

306: The above happens at the end of episode twelve, purly for shock value. It turned out ot be a computer malfunction. After one quick line, it is never mentioned again.

305: CTU blows up. Everyone but Jack dies. It is never mentioned again.

304. The explosion in the gasworks causes a doorway to a parallel universe to open. Jack accidentally gets pulled into this alternate reality, where he discovers CTU is actually run by Chechnian seperatists and Teri and Nina are both still alive.

289. The unexplained disappearance of a small town up the coast is investigated by Jack & Co. and they meet up with a strange man claiming to be more than 200 years old who lives in an abandoned hotel. They join forces to combat an odd terrorist plot which is orchestrated by a powerful LA based law firm.

277. Rev. Jim Phelps guest stars for much the same reason, except substitute "Twinkies" with "gays".

237. Same deal, except it's Pierce Brosnon doing the rescuing.

236. Same deal again except this time it's Ethan Hunt/Tom Cruise who is doing the rescuing. He then takes fifteen minutes to explain how he is not crazy, how Scientology is actually kind of rad and how taking any medication at all will send you to hell where Satan will rape you into eternity.

227: Jack's never before hinted at 28 year old (I know that makes it impossible, but what do I care?) son appears. Problem is solved by the exchange:

Chloe: I never knew Jack had a son.

Curtis: Well he does, deal with it.

OR

Curtis: I didn't know Jack has a son

Chloe: Duh!

226: Jack gets killed, shot gun to the head. Doctors confirm he is dead. He is brought to a mortuary where a post mortem is conducted, cause of death, shotgun to the head. His body is put into one of those freezers where he wakes up, bashes his way out, kills all the doctors by stabing things in their neck and continues with the day. It is never mentioned ever again.

225. Jack escapes from China only to be captured by the Germans for ripping off Theo Stoller. He is interrogated by an 80 year old man with white hair (whom everybody thought was dead) who proceeds to ask the question "Is it safe?" while playing with Jack's teeth.

488: Jack is safely back in L.A. from the second Season 6 begins.



**SPOILERS**








Actually, from the reports I've been hearing about the first episode, that IS how it starts: with Jack in L.A. and CTU trying to find him.
Author
Time
Yes, it does. Wayne Palmer is president, and the country is in the wake of a 9/11 scale attack. The season will not be as much about stopping terrorists as it will Jack trying to save his own ass.

And to put icing on the cake, Bob Cochran said that the first two episodes are "Very strong, very controversial."

It's sounding good to me.

Wouldn't it be cool if they did to Jack what Ian Fleming actually did to James Bond in "The Man With The Golden Gun" ... he was brainwashed and sent to assasinate M. Imagine Jack being sent to kill Wayne Palmer in this fashion. It would turn the show on its ear. Unlike season 1 where he was reluctantly sent to kill David Palmer under duress, imagine if he actually WANTED to do this because he was brainwashed by the Chinese.

I doubt they'd have the balls to do that. EON certainly didn't w/ Bond on film.
I am fluent in over six million forms of procrastination.
