As it stands, the silent clock is not the "heroic death tribute" but rather a dramatic device. In that regard, I think the showrunners overdid the use of the clock. Was anyone here honestly worried about Renee Walker dying?Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16846734759298261359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27425593.post-88944776174525338162009-01-21T11:48:00.000-05:002009-01-21T11:48:00.000-05:00wow, I wish I was as observant as you guys! Very impressive!

Both clocks are accompanied by the sound of breathing. <BR/><BR/>Quoted from http://24.wikia.com/wiki/Silent_clockPeter Picklezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02205541885362556320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27425593.post-3359941722633877582009-01-20T17:46:00.000-05:002009-01-20T17:46:00.000-05:00I totally agree, I'm going to be pissed if they wasted a silent clock. <BR/><BR/>Also, at the very end of Day 6, you can hear the ocean during the "silent" clock.55noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27425593.post-31146578059719297342009-01-20T13:03:00.000-05:002009-01-20T13:03:00.000-05:00@Ivan, thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!<BR/><BR/>@ammodytus- Who knew 24 was such an HVAC-inspired show?Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16846734759298261359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27425593.post-5457792379200999812009-01-20T12:09:00.000-05:002009-01-20T12:09:00.000-05:00They are just playing with the fans, goddanmit!<BR/><BR/>I LOVED IT! =Dammodytushttp://ammodytus.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27425593.post-20009796997325626642009-01-20T09:15:00.000-05:002009-01-20T09:15:00.000-05:00Oh, the elephant is great.

If you listen, you can hear her gasping for air, which (to me, at least) lets the producers off the hook.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09114234415637733575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27425593.post-39995463983475124052009-01-20T00:59:00.000-05:002009-01-20T00:59:00.000-05:00UPDATE: Charles Trotter informed me that the clock wasn't completely silent- you could hear Renee Walker breathing.
