Anyone here watched 24 S3?

Question

i have just finished season 3 of 24 on dvd. there are something i can not really think through, such as, why Jack killed Nina in CTU?? not early not later? what gave him the final push? Why the president had Sherry in the game, just to "low his level to his competitor"? it was not his style, in the first 2 seasons, who standed true for justice and dignity. and why Tony gave in so easiler in the last half of  D3? he still have saunder's daugher at hand as a hostage, if they threaten to dig out michelle's left eye, he could tried to dig out the right eye of saunder's daughter. and the arm, if Jack could think of cutting the arm with the bomb from chase, sure would the "bad guy", what stopped him, i wonder?

Hi Minmin601,

I watched it too, and this is what I think of the questions you asked yourself:

Minmin601 why Jack killed Nina in CTU?? not early not later? what gave him the final push?

Jack, despite what Nina did to the country, and above all to him(killing his wife in cold blood), was very professional. Do you remember in season 2, when she held him hostage for like 3 mins pointing a gun at him after they escaped from a plane crash and an attempt to their lives by a Coral Snake unit? She asked the pardon of the president for something she was going to do. That something was the murder of Jack, wasn't it? What was Jack's reaction? He was OK with that. He agreed, and requested the president to go along with what Nina was asking. Despite his hatred for her, he stayed professional, not letting his feeling taking control over his mind. But, at the CTU, after squeezing everything he wanted out of her, he had all the reasons of the world to carry out his revenge. She had nothing else to give them., and he couldn't run the risk of cutting her another deal that would keep her alive. So he shot her dead.

Why the president had Sherry in the game, just to "low his level to his competitor"? it was not his style, in the first 2 seasons, who standed true for justice and dignity.

Yes indeed, the president was a right and (overly)worthy man, and I'm sure everybody liked him, starting with me. But sometimes you need to dirty your hands in order to do the right thing. Remember, in season 2, he had the Director of NSC tortured to have informations about the bomb. In season 3, he had Ryan Shapelle killed, to buy some time. He needed some leverage, to buy some time(again), and clear the threat the country was subject to. No one could do that dirty work better than Sherry, so he called her to the rescue. I think it wasn't really about his presidency, or his competitor, but the country, because he decided not to seek election again, something we know certain presidents would never do.

why Tony gave in so easiler in the last half of D3? he still have saunder's daugher at hand as a hostage, if they threaten to dig out michelle's left eye, he could tried to dig out the right eye of saunder's daughter.

The answer is quite simple, Minmin.Because of love. It was about his wife. Plus, they were the good guys, at C.T.U. They were not just going to dig an innocent girl's eye out because of her father's deeds. Michelle was an Agent. She knew the risks she was running. Saunder's daughter was also fooled by her Dad, and she wasn't agree with what her father was doing. Remember, I told you about the feelings, and professionalism. Tony let his feelings control him. In addition, he wasn't a field agent, to think of something to buy time with, as jack always did (though this time it would been a pretty tough call: Tery Vs Saunder). Anyone, with no experience, of the field would have done the same.

and the arm, if Jack could think of cutting the arm with the bomb from chase, sure would the "bad guy", what stopped him, i wonder?

What stopped who? The bad guy? Jack of course! He shot the bad guy in the back. I'm sure had Jack walked into that room 5 mins later, that's what the bad guy would have done. When he tried and untie the case from Chase's hand he realized that it got stuck on his hand. He didn't even try and remove it, for he knew nothing would do. So he took 1 second to think of something, and that second cost him his live, for, that's exactely when Jack entered the room. Had he(Jack) came in 5 mins later, the bad guy would not have only cut Chase's hand, but he'd have killed him as well.

That's what I think of the questions.
