Entry Was Nina recruited as a spy before she joined CTU or after? Also, as she wasn't working just for the Drazens, what was her primary mission? [According to Jack in season 5, Nina was "deep cover" before the pair ever met, so it's safe to assume she was recruited before she joined CTU. As for what her primary mission was, who knows? Perhaps it was to gather sensitive intel and pass it on to her superiors. Given that she worked for an intelligence agency, it's not a stretch. Or perhaps we may find out in season seven.]
Answered by Cubs Fan Time
Entry Considering how long it takes to reach the United States from Yugoslavia, it seems to imply that the Drazens had always anticipated Gaines' team to fail. If they were so certain of this, why did they hire Gaines in the first place?
Time

Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. (series 2)

Entry In the last episode of season two, in the final minutes, what exactly happens to Palmer? What did that woman have on her hand that made him ill? [1) The woman had a plastic sheet on her hand (which she later removes with tweezers so she would not have to touch it and be infected). When the poisonous side came into contact with skin, it burnt through it and entered the bloodstream, thus poisoning the recipient. 2) We are not told which virus it is but my best guess is that it is the same virus that they are trying to contain in Series 3.]
Time
Entry Who are the people Kingsley are reporting to on the phone? I understand he works for them but was there ever any indication as to who they were or what their roll in all this was?
Time
Entry At the end of the episode is the famous scene where the woman shakes hands with Palmer and gives him some kind of poison. When the camera first pans onto her it zooms in and suspenseful music plays. This indicates to me that we are supposed to be surprised who she is. Did I miss something? Was she on the show before and her appearance as the assassin supposed to be a surprise? Or was everything just for dramatic effect? [She was in the first season. She was the woman who destroys and then parachutes out of the airplane in the first episode of the series.]

Day 2: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. (series 2)

Entry Who is the woman seen with Kingsley near the end of the episode? At one point we see him reach for a knife, does he kill her? [Yes. At the end of the episode in question when it goes to split screen before the clock appears, one of the screens shows Kingsley stood in front of his desk with her lying on the floor.]
Time

Day 2: 10:00 P.M.-11:00 P.M. (series 2)

Entry If Jack jumps from the plane only four minutes before the bomb is going to detonate, how come he survives the radiation? [Because the bomb exploded in a depression in the Mojave desert, which contains the radiation.]
Time

Day 2: 9:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M. (series 2)

Entry At the end of this episode (when they find the bomb in the van) Jack calls for the 'bomb disarmer.' "N.E.S.T" is visible on the back of their jackets. Does this actually stand for something? [Nuclear Emergency Search Team.]

Day 2: 2:00 P.M.-3:00 P.M. (series 2)

Entry What does Jack whisper to Nina? When Nina hears this she is horrified. [I watched this with subtitles on, all you hear is him say 'now...' and continue to whisper, you don't hear what he says but you know it was bad enough to frighten Nina.]
Time

Day 2: 8:00 A.M.-9:00 A.M. (series 2)

Entry In the O.C., what was in the folder Eric Rayburn gave to Palmer regarding Second Wave? [It's never revealed on camera, but judging from Palmer's conversation with the Middle Eastern Prime Minister soon after, it can be presumed the folder contains proof of Second Wave terrorist camps operating on the enemy country's soil with funding.]
Time

All of series 2 (series 2)

Entry Is there any reason why Harris Yulin was not credited for his role as Roger Stanton? [Guest stars must share screen credit with one or two other guest stars, but Yulin wanted his name to appear alone. The producers wouldn't allow it, so Yulin decided to remain uncredited.]
Answered by Cubs Fan Time

Day 3: 12:00 P.M.-1:00 P.M. (series 3)

Entry Why exactly was Jack crying at the end of this season? [I would think that the sheer emotional stress of what he's gone through that day would be quite enough to provoke a few tears.]
Answered by Tailkinker Time

Day 3: 2:00 A.M.-3:00 A.M. (series 3)

Entry What kind of cellphone does Wayne Palmer have? [Treo 600.]
Time
Entry On the DVD section for "Deleted Scenes" there is a scene with Sherry instructing Julia on how to handle Alan's death. The commentary confirms it as a deleted scene (not a shortened scene, a deleted scene). However in the actual episode the scene IS included, both when it aired on TV and on the DVD. What am I missing here?

Entry Why is everyone so convinced that Tony will be spending at least 20 years in prison, if he's not executed? Considering all that he's been through during the day, including nearly being killed and nearly losing his wife to a horrible virus, and then seeing terrorists trying to take out her eye, wouldn't he stand a great chance at a temporary insanity plead? [It's because he put Michelle's life and safety ahead of National Security (he even admits this when he's questioned by Brad Hammond from Divison). If you think about it, it's more than reminiscent of Jack's attempts to save Kim and Teri in Season 1.]
Answered by Cubs Fan Time
Entry At the end of season 2, President Palmer relieves Mike of his duties. However in season 3 Mike is back working with Palmer. Did I miss something? [Season 3 takes place three years after Season 2. Palmer could've forgiven and moved on in that time.]
Answered by JC Fernandez Time

Day 4: 10:00 P.M.-11:00 P.M. (series 4)

Entry What happens to Behrooz at the end? I missed this episode, so I read in the official site of 24 its summary, but it didn't really say if Behrooz was killed or not. So was he killed or not? [We don't know. The last we see him is after the hostage trade, and he's never spoken of again.]
Time

Day 4: 6:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M. (series 4)

Entry In this episode, Jack is at the offoces of McClennon/Forrester and realizes they are going to set off an EMP to destroy all the computer hardware. Jack tries to stop it and realizes he cannot. Just as the EMP goes off, Jack crouches behind a door for protection and screams as the EMP goes off. However later, Audrey is told the EMP would not harm Jack or Paul. It would only affect all electronic devices. So why would Jack need to find protection behind a door and why would he need to scream when the device went off? [The device is an EMP that is in development and, as such, may not be stable. While its true that an EMP in itself is harmless to people, there may be electrical discharges or shorts from the device itself that could harm a person, hence Jack takes cover. As for his scream, its not a scream of pain, but a scream of frustration at not being able to stop the EMP going off.]

Entry Strangely, unlike seasons 2 & 3, there's no option to branch the deleted scenes back in to season 4 and on disc 7, the first deleted scene is under the heading "Season 4 Director's Cut Promo". Is this really as black and white as it seems or am I missing something? Has anyone heard any rumours, or facts, that Fox is planning to release Season 4 Director's Cut in the near future? [The "Director's Cut Promo" on Disc 7 is just that: a Season 4 promo, in the form of a prequel that bridges Seasons 3 and 4. The context of "Director's Cut" that we normally think of has nothing to do with it.]

All of series 5 (series 5)

Entry What happened to Evelyn and Amy after Henderson's people find them at the motel and shoot the EMT's? Do they kill them? [From what I remember, we don't know, but to me, it's implied that Henderson does kill them.]
