i dunno about your clock statement shawn. i believe all of the other deaths happened right in the closing scene but curtis got shot a lil ways before the ending. time will tell however. time will tell.

I know what you're saying Matt. I figured that if Curtis had died that they would have put it at the end and given him the silent clock. I figure if Jack had wanted to kill him he would have shot him in the head.

That's what I figured too. Why not a head shot? But we'll see.

c'mon guys we all know that NO tv deaths are official until someone blatantly puts two fingers to a guy's neck and say the words "he's dead/gone/wet"

i disagree with shawn's theory based on the circumstances around curtis getting shot. just as i think tony didn't deserve a silent clock because he died while going against the greater good i feel curtis didn't get a silent clock because he died as a result of going against the best interests of those involved. edgar went out in the line of duty and definitely deserved his silent clock.

That is an interesting point I haven't thought about it before. His and Tony's situation were similar although I still think that he isn't dead because he wasn't declared dead.

Maybe they're trying to invoke nostalgia by shooting yet another key black man in the neck...Palmer died what'll happen this time? My guess is that he's alive.

I originally thought he was shot in the neck as well. But watching it again and pausing it it looks to me that he was shot a little lower in the right subclavian/right common carotid area. Either way he should be dead. I think Bauer had to kill curtis otherwise just injuring him wouldve given him a chance to kill al-assad. I also believe Bauer didnt have an angle to pull of the head shot cleanly. I may be wrong but I'm under the impression that if you shoot someone in the head that has a finger on the trigger the hand will tighten and they will shoot out of contraction of the muscles.

I think there's a distinct possibility of that auto-fire happening with the head shot. Especially if Jack were good enough to actually hit that previously referred-to bundle of nerves that is responsible for controlling that arm which might mean there would be no way of pulling the trigger. OH well common carotid is bad news :-D
