Those are his personals...but Edgar was much more than a minor statistic written on a piece of paper that an actor would read. Edgar was Gilbralter...A Rock that could not be moved. Solid. Steady.

The loveable Edgar passed away last night after inhaling a toxic dose of Nerve Gas. It was a very sad time. To see him left behind, like his mother before him. Always loyal and giving his 110%, Edgar was the type of guy you could trust to cover you even when it meant that his own job would suffer, but it never did. Because Edgar was that kind of guy. Soft as a pussycat, tough as a badger with a lisp that would make Cindy Brady weep, Edgar was a hero to many. As I saw Chloe mouth your name as you went down, I wept and couldn’t understand why the universe would take from us a fine example of a human being.

Edgar you will be missed my friend. It’s such a shame Kim was not there in your place.

Anx said:

OH DAMN DAMN DAMN! i assumed when you were off at 8pm last night you were watching. crap.

no, i was performing obligatory BF duties...unfortunately, we're a mixed marriage: one of us likes 24, one of us doesn't. and this was a "tape it or else" week.

Anx said:

Oh crap...and it was a 2 hour episode. too. That's BF dedication. Fortuneately mine likes 24 more than I do.

I don't know why I clicked on this. I haven't seen it yet.

EDGAR!

Curse the bastard who got me addicted to this show. . . 2 hours of my evening tonight is going to be devoted to it, as if I don't have other things to do. At least it'll be 2 hours curled up with aforementioned bastard, but still.

Anx said:

why, why, WHY did you have to click on this thread?

DAMMIT!

Man, I thought it may have been due to my slightly hungover state, but I cried like a baby when edgar went down. Poor, poor Chloe. Having to just watch him die.

PLEASE tell me this doesn't open the door to have Kim back at CTU.

I was sobbing too.

I loved Edgar's fat guy lisp. Chloe's still my girl, though. I've watched Mary Lynn Rajskub's appearance on Conan like 6 times already. I felt kind of weird that C. Thomas Howell is Kim's boyfriend now. I mean, he starred in Side-Out and he looks way scary.

BTW, Elisha Cuthbert is hot, but her character has always been really weak on 24. I don't really want her back if she's gonna be boring like last night. I'd rather watch her run around in a little outfit. Maybe cougars could sneak into CTU and chase her out of the building.

I was on the floor crying for at least five minutes...

I'm gonna miss Edgar

DAMN IT!
I didn't watch last night...POOR Edgar! Although, the way things were going I knew either a) he was gonna get whacked OR b) he was going to be unveiled as the mastermind behind all terrorist activity...

I'm glad it was a)




for Edgar

Oh, that was just SAD. . . watching Chloe ( <- my TV-land wife ) watch him. . .

SeattleInvasion said:

wasn't it AWFUL!

that was seriouosly the first time 24 made me cry.

In fact, it's sad, I'm STILL bummed out by it

ps, thanks SSB for making this beautiful memorial!

my tape cut off the last five minutes so i didn't see edgar's final moments.

i'm sure they'll re-run the money shots next monday, though.

endorphin74 said:

It bothered me all night. ANd it was the first thing I thought of in the morning. WHen Jacks wife died that too was also tragic.

Anx said:

oh that really sucks. Really. I think it was partly Chole's reaction that got to me. It's was typical chole...but you know deep down she was mentally reaching for the door to let him in.

So basically they are stuck there with the psssss of gas all around them. I liked that twist.

But may I ask why the first the damn things wasn't IMMEDIATELY contained in the hospital?

Who's Edgar?

the secret name we picked out for your son had she been a he.

So, how is this season? Comparable in quality to the earlier ones?

calldapplwondery83 said:

Well there seems to be ONE threat this time...but there is this underlying thing looming...as always. \

My only bitch is that there is no side plot to follow that is semi seperated from the integral plot. I like it when we follow characters that are just regular people or at least NOT CTU nor the Government.

Not sure how this stackss up against the other seasons. Last season sucked. Esp. after the mom and son disappeared. I'd say this is along the lines of Season 2...where they were chasing the nuke around the city. Not as good as Season One or Three.

superspaceboy said:

Yeah, watching Chloe was the rough part.

And on the hospital canister, yeah, for fuckin' real! My guy and I kept yelling at the TV, "Hefty bag, Hefty bag! Do hospitals not have plastic bags?!"

i say leat's have a thread like this every week.

i can do the 24 phone sound!

PRR PRR TEDOO!

BEEP BEEP BEEP!

Our lovely Muse needs a copy of the last few episodes. Does anyone know where she can get them? SHe is afraid of opening this thread.

superspaceboy said:

that is solliciting for bootlegs innit?

dawntreader said:

No not really. It's aired already. Soliciting for missed programs..sure.

superspaceboy said:

She can bittorrent them from mininova.org.

superspaceboy said:

I JUST deleted this off my DVR the other day...DAMMIT!
