Talk:Tony Almeida

I don't understand why everytime I add this article on the writer's alternate endings to 24 seaspm six to Tony Almeida, 24 Season Six, and Nina Myer's wikipedia articles they are removed. Are the wikipedia staff removing these or are they the work of random wikipedia users. They are legitimate endings according to 24headquarters.com, amd Wordpress 24 Season 6 Spoilers, and therefore should be noted as they were used in the following wikipedia articles:

1. 24 Season 6

Why is this being deleted?
Everytime I post information about the alternate written ending drafts on the pages of Tony Almeida, 24 Season Six, and Nina Myer's they are removed, and all I ask is why? Is wikipedia doing this or is it being done by random users because I have sources from Wordpress 24 Season Six Spoilers, 24 TV Guide Interview, and www.24headquarters.com. Therefore I do not understand why these articles are continuously edited out.

Alternate Endings
The writers of 24 actually created three possible endings in three separate drafts in which Tony Almeida, or Nina Myer's were set to return to the set of 24 for season seven. In the first draft As the helicopter nears CTU, Bill’s instruments go haywire. The Chinese don’t want Cheng to be interrogated because he knows too much and they would rather he die along with Jack. The helicopter is locked onto and Cheng’s men hit it with an RPG. The chopper is going down and it appears a crash is imminent. Cheng is actually happy and is pleased he will be killed as he fears what the U.S. interrogators would have done to him. But Cheng will not have his death and Bill knows his stuff and he’s able to maneuver the chopper and he makes a crash landing on CTU. The landing is really rough but everyone is alive.

Jack gets out and he takes aim at the Chinese agents on the adjacent building but they are long gone. Jack rushes back to the helicopter and helps Josh get out. Bill secures Cheng and escorts him and Josh inside CTU. Jack stays behind and watches as everyone goes inside, and later Jack walks out of CTU and the Counter Terrorist Unit is a closed chapter in Jack’s life. Jack is cleared by security and he walks outside of the CTU gate and onto the public street.

A man on a motorcycle appears and he’s driving towards Jack. Jack is cautious and he puts his hand on his gun but nothing happens and Jack realizes that he doesn’t have to run anymore, the motorcycle man was nobody. Jack walks into an alleyway and he rests against the wall as he takes the day in and realizes that everything is over.

However as Jack turns the corner of the alleyway he’s hit in the head and he crashes to the ground in a semi-conscious state. A big black SUV pulls up and a woman gets out and helps the other man put Jack in the back seat. The SUV peels out and Jack is still hurting and in and out of consciousness. His blurry eyes look over to the right and his eyes adjust to reveal a man sitting next to him. Jack’s eyes adjust to reveal a smiling President Charles Logan. Logan appears to be favoring his shoulder but he’s in pretty good shape. Logan tells Jack that there’s a lot he has to tell him and he needs to know that Jack won’t try anything stupid after he shows him something.

Then Logan tells a brief story about being the head of some energy corporation a while back and talks about Jack in Mexico five years ago and he mentions that Jack ruined his plans there. The woman driver tells Logan that they are not being followed and that nobody is exactly in a hurry to look for Jack. The woman turns around and the look on Jack’s face registers as pure shock. IT’S NINA MYERS. Jack is furious and confused but Logan explains this in a way in which I still don’t understand. Logan says that Jack killed “one of his girls” as she attempted to break out of CTU but that women wasn’t the operative Jack knew as Nina Myers. Logan shows Jack a photo of Logan in his 30’s and he’s in some sort of overseas village at a house on a cliff over looking the ocean and he’s with two young twin sisters who appear to be around seven or eight years old.

The season ends with Logan mentioning some sort of anti-terrorist organization and that Jack’s father was among the founding members and that now that both Phillip and Graham are dead they will need another Bauer to step up and assume the duties of keeping the world safe. The show ends with Logan telling Jack how much his country needs him and the final shot is of a confused Jack unsure of what to think and unsure of what’s to come. This ending explained why in an interview with TV Guide a writer of 24 stated a character came back with a vengence.

In the other draft in which Tony Almeida was returned to 24 Jack drops off of the helicopter as he originally did in the finale episode of season six, and Buchanan knows not to go look for Jack and that if he ever wants to be found he will be.

Jack makes it to the shore and sits and looks off into the ocean. There’s complete silence as Jack ponders where his life goes from here, he’s at the crossroads of his life. Then out of the silence we hear a faint sound. As the sound grows closer we realize it’s a helicopter. Jack looks behind him at a house on a cliff and a piercing white light focuses in on him as the helicopter descends down and lands on the beach. Jack takes out his gun and he thinks it’s CTU to come and detain him but it’s not. A heavily armed special forces unit pours out and they make Jack drop his gun. Jack complies and the men put a blindfold over Jack’s head and take him inside the helicopter.

The soldiers place Jack next to their leader who remains unseen as he’s talking on a cell phone which obscures his identity. The man on the phone hangs up and we go to complete darkness as we are now watching from Jack’s perspective. Then we hear the voice. I’m paraphrasing and it went something like; “I’m going to remove your blindfold Jack, but you need to understand something first. There are people within our government who want change. Two years ago I was part of that change and I payed a steep price for my patriotism… That price {Jack’s blindfold is removed} ….. was my wife”… Jack’s eyes adjust to reveal Tony Almeida. Jack simply replies with “Tony” as the look on his face registers as pure shock. We are left to believe that Chris Henderson recruited Tony well before day 5 and that Tony’s alleged death was nothing more than an elaborate hoax so that he could continue whatever work Henderson’s group has plans for. I guess we’re supposed to believe that Tony is recruiting Jack and this will lead us into the drastic season 7 change.

2. Nina Myers

Season Six Alternate Ending
In an early draft for season six Nina Myer's was set to return after President Logan and Nina Myers reveal to Jack that Nina had a twin sister that was killed. In the full draft as the helicopter carrying Cheng as in episode twenty-four of season six nears CTU, Bill’s instruments go haywire. The Chinese don’t want Cheng to be interrogated because he knows too much and they would rather he die along with Jack. The helicopter is locked onto and Cheng’s men hit it with an RPG. The chopper is going down and it appears a crash is imminent. Cheng is actually happy and is pleased he will be killed as he fears what the U.S. interrogators would have done to him. But Cheng will not have his death and Bill knows his stuff and he’s able to maneuver the chopper and he makes a crash landing on CTU. The landing is really rough but everyone is alive.

Bill secures Cheng and escorts him and Josh inside CTU. Jack stays behind and watches as everyone goes inside, and later Jack walks out of CTU and the Counter Terrorist Unit is a closed chapter in Jack’s life. Jack is cleared by security and he walks outside of the CTU gate and onto the public street.

3. Tony Almeida
 * One thing I don't understand is that becuase this alternate ending was made, people suddenly think he's definatly alive. This is an alternate ending. It did'nt really happen. I know he's gonna return for season 7, but still.Green Kirby 02:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Season Six Alternate Ending
In an early written draft of the finale episode of twenty four season six plans to bring back Tony Almeida were made, after (according to the draft) it was revealed that he was working with Henderson in season five, and that his death was a setup. In the original draft in which Tony Almeida was returned to 24 Jack drops off of the helicopter as he originally did in the finale episode of season six, and Buchanan knows not to go look for Jack and that if he ever wants to be found he will be.

Jack makes it to the shore and sits and looks off into the ocean. There’s complete silence as Jack ponders where his life goes from here, he’s at the crossroads of his life. Then out of the silence we hear a faint sound. As the sound grows closer we realize it’s a helicopter.

Spoiler
Isn't "and though now deceased" a spoiler and not something that should be in the first paragraph? Timan123 05:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Who keeps deleting the character dossiers for these characters?!
 * I did. You copied it straight from the official website without permission. See Copyrights K1Bond007 17:58, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)

Director -> Special Agent in Charge
look at Jack's profile at the official 24 website(http://www.fox.com/24/profiles/), it states: "Former Special Agent in Charge", not Director of CTU. This includes George Mason, Jack Bauer and the others who held the position.

Reply: That's the same position as referred in Season One when Kim was in police custody he told the police "My father's name is Jack Bauer, Director of CTU LA." He was definitely Special Agent in Charge back then.

Dead? (Day 5, 8:00am)
I can't believe he's dead, seeing as how (a) we didn't actually have verification, and there was no silent clock. If Edgar gets a silent clock, Tony gets a mother******' silent clock. Jonpin 03:03, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Obviously he didn't die. No silent clock. &mdash; 0918 BRIAN • 2006-03-14 03:08


 * I like to think the silent clock was for all of the people in CTU who died, as well as Edgar. morphax 04:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think that he is dead yet. shows him in episodes up to 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM. -Joelon-10:43 AM 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * http://www.fox.com/24/episodes/7pm.htm Fox website says Tony is dead, and the clinical psychiatrist says you are all in the denial stage ;) Although the IMDB is admittedly interesting... Martin Hinks 16:38, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The IMDB link isn't all that convincing. They show Dennis Haysbert as appearing up to 11PM as well.


 * He is not dead fact, also there was no silent clock, he was still alive until .00


 * I don't think he is dead(Carlos Benard is listed as cast)


 * I assume the reason that they get accredited for appearing in the show is because of the Previously segments. In addition, there was that small scene in the beginning of 9:00 of Tony's body being covered with a white sheet. 144.118.214.43 03:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Everyone, please wait until next weeks episode before we put Tony as "deceased". We do not know if he is dead yet. dposse 03:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

New York Times says that he is dead. Simon Beavis

Sorry, it's been proven that he is dead by many media sources. You are killing us --Looking Glass 03:36, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * That isn't proof. That media source has no more information than anyone else about Tony Almeida. The claim that he died is only the writer's interpretation. —Guanaco 03:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It has an interview with the actor talking about his character's death. It is not interpretation it is confirmed. They just couldn't report it until after the episode aired. Here is another article: Proof --Looking Glass 03:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Even if Tony will ultimately die from the injection, he is not dead as of 8:00. —Guanaco 03:59, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

We need to wait until next weeks episode before we say that Tony has died. It is the only right thing to do. dposse 03:57, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No we don't. We'll know when the offcial FOX site adds the episode into their episode guide. Simon Beavis

That is a extremely wrong way to get infomation. The best way is to wait until they say it on the show. The best thing to do is to keep his status as "unknown" for now. dposse 04:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The FOX.com episode guide is canon, and the entry for this ep will be up on Tuesday. Simon Beavis

Given the track record of the NYT, we should probably put Tony back in the "Alive" column...


 * Have added official reference to Fox website. Martin Hinks 09:41, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * yeah it looks like Tony's dead. the only way he's still going to be alive is if there is some type of antidote.

The thing i have a problem with is that at the second that the show ended, i dont think he died. He might have died at 8:01, but at 7:59 he was still alive!! dposse 15:41, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * His character profile has been updated on Fox.com, the deceased tag is over his picture. Tony's gone.


 * "7:59 P.M.

Jack enters the clinic and finds Tony and Burke on the ground. Gasping his last breath of life, Tony tells Jack that he couldn’t do it. Jack clutches Tony’s head. Tony dies, and Jack cries with him still in his arms." This really confirms it from the official site, surely. There's no argueing with that.01:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

The canadian previews for next week's ep show Tony's body with a sheet over him. He's dead. 208.59.171.97 23:23, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

NY Times confirmation
It's offical: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/14/arts/television/14kill.html morphax 04:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's only official when it is shown on the show. Entertainment news is always getting it wrong, and even with the interviews, they can leak false information to throw the audience off. It's likely that he died, or at least will die this season, but there's no rush. &mdash; 0918 BRIAN • 2006-03-14 04:14

Check official site
If Tony is officially dead, they'll post "Deceased" across his profile at the Fox 24 website:

http://www.fox.com/24/profiles/ta.htm

So far no change.
 * How many times do I have to post this? http://www.fox.com/24/episodes/7pm.htm It doesn't get much more official than that. Martin Hinks 16:37, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Deceased has been placed over Tony's picture. 'He's Gone'

Death and Backlash reverts
This is justified. Manny Coto's board, IMDb, and even radio hosts continue to discuss whether or not Tony Almeida died. Those primarily at IMDb, Coto's board, and the AlmeidaIsGod community have expressed their outrage towards the show's writers for killing him off so suddenly and without a Silent clock to boot. I honestly can't see why the "Death and Backlash" edit is not justified.
 * Whether he died is not the same same a backlash and one that went so far as to call for a boycott or call this the beginning of the end for the show. This section is extreme and it needs far better sources than a website called "AlmeidaIsGod" and a few random critcisms about the show from IMDb. This section is heavily POV and doesn't, IMHO, represent the general feeling of the fans of the show. K1Bond007 03:46, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * By the way, AlmeidaIsGod is a community, and on IMDb, the threads concerning his death are a dime a dozen. Coto's board is the only thing that seems to stick here. I wonder why.--DethFromAbove 04:50, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm the webmaster of almeidaisgod.com. Our website has never called for a boycott of the show, nor has our site endorsed one. This page says that "some individuals have called for a boycott of the show suggesting this is the 'beginning of the end' for 24" and then provides a reference link to our website. It is no secret that we have openly voiced our view that Tony's death (and more specifically the manner in which it was executed) was a huge mistake and detrimental to the series. It is also no secret that our site staff and many of our readers have some very negative feelings toward the show as a result of this event. Although many of our readers have posted messages on our dicussion forum to the effect that they planned to boycott the show and we also published excerpts of letters we received from our readers suggesting they planned to boycott the show on our site, we did not call for a boycott or instruct anyone to stop watching. As for the suggestion that our website is not a credible source to discern the general feeling of fans of the show, we never claimed to be the final authority or to speak for all 24 fans. All we can do is give fans of Tony Almeida a voice and a community. However, we are relatively well known among the online 24 fan community and we receive between 400 and 1000 hits daily. We received dozens upon dozens of e-mails, guestbook comments and forum posts after the character died and still continue to receive them. It's obvious that Tony's death has had a significant impact on a sizable portion of the show's fanbase, whether or not it reflects a general feeling of all fans of the show.

Almeida not pardoned?
The article presently says this: "...although for some reason Palmer chose not to issue Tony a pardon while he was still president." But Tony's profile (located here: http://www.fox.com/24/profiles/ta.htm ) explicitly says "Pardoned by President Palmer." What gives?

He also explicitly states in Season 4 when speaking to Jack: "I'm not in Federal Prison anymore thanks to you and President Palmer.

Re: The Bauer-Almeida connection
Very well-stated. --James26 03:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Tony is alive?
Tony has been spotted on the set of 24 Season 6. By standers claim he shot scenes. This is confirmed on foxnews.com under "On the Record". Should this spoiler be included in the article?

Here's the link for the video featuring Carlos Bernard on Season 6. Mista Tee001 22:16, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Tony's Death
A note to all those, desperately clinging to Tony's being alive. He is DEAD. Look here http://www.fox.com/24/profiles/ta.htm. The word 'DECEASED' is a bit of a give away. Algebra man 14:49, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

yeah and at the end of season 5 when jack kills henderson he says, " you are responsible for the deaths of david palmer. michele dessler and tony almeida. so there you go

The website says explicitly in at least three places that he is dead. The part of the article that says he "might" be alive shouldn't even be in there IMO

Spanish
I don't see why Tony's ability to speak Spanish should be placed in the Day 3 section, I am sure that there is somewhere more appropriate for it to go. Also it is inaccurate. Tony has been seen speaking Spanish on the show, in Day 1 he said to Jamey "Eres una verguenze," which translates as "You are a waste of space/embarassment/disgrace." I would change it but I don't know where it ought to go. I also don't see why it mentions the number of Hispanic co-stars as Tony didn't come into contact with most of them. I think the only one he properly spoke to was Gael.Algebra man 15:50, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Trivia
The trivia section is a bit....huge. It should be cut down and/or have parts of it incorporated into the main part of the article. MoChan 21:20, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Now there's no trivia. I hope your happy.Green Kirby 17:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Fan speculation regarding Almeida's survival
Is it not worth having a section at the bottom of the article about this, simply because the speculation has been so huge and there are so many sources to back it up? I considered adding something but I know it would have been reverted straight away, even if I was staying impartial and commenting purely on the level of speculation. I felt instead that something needed to be said on here. Any ideas on what, if anything, should be incorporated into the article? Northeasternbeast 19:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Speculation
I quite agree with the sentiments above. Almeida was a key character in 24 and since his 'death' there has been an enormous amount of speculation. This has only increased in recent months with Carlos Bernard's refusal to be drawn on the subject and also the hints dropped by the 24 writers and producers in a recent press conference. Quite why some contributors seem almost vehement in their desire to delete any such contributions is beyond me. There IS speculation. Fact. Speculation indeed at this juncture, but there is no smoke without fire. Surely a factual entry about the fictional 24 character Tony Almeida should contain a line about the increasing fan speculation about his current status? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.38.5 (talk) 09:16, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Provide us with references and we may include that there is speculation about Tony's death. Otherwise, anything that is added about his being alive will be removed immediately. Also, please sign your posts by typing ~ afterwards. asyndeton 10:43, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Merging
This page should not be merged for two reasons. One, Tony Almeida was a main character on the show for 5 seasons and two, he will be again for Season 7. --MiB-24 (talk) 02:21, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the above. I generally agree with getting rid of superfluous and unnecessary pages, but I don't think this is one of them. But then again, I am a newbie, and understand I could be hopelessly wrong...The Young Ones 13:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Keep: Tony has been a central character throughout, appearing in 5 of the six seasons so far and, by the end of season 5, he had appeared in more epiodes than any other character, excluding Jack. He is not a nobody, he has extreme importance in the 24 universe. asyndeton 17:31, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

KEEP I'd like to see the Wiki "policy" or "criteria" that the WikiNazis are using to justify this unnecessary and idiotic merge. It's happening with just about ALL of the other major "24" characters as well, and has, in my opinion, gotten way out of hand. Angelriver 18:32, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment When characters such as Tony Almeida are suggested for merging, 'out of hand' does not do the situation justice. asyndeton 18:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment Completely agree.Angelriver 20:02, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

KEEP as Tony Almedia was a major character on the show for 5 seasons and will return for Season 7. He was the Director of CTU for over 3 years (24 time), the same position Jack Bauer once held. Wanting to merge such an important character into the a page for minor ones is just nuts. --208.180.22.12 23:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * KEEP I think that besides Jack, Tony is perhaps the most important character on the show.Italian Robot (talk) 00:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

It's a fictional character!
These are fictional characters, made up by the writers for the show. So why is there a whining complaint on every charaters page complaining that the source of a characters fictional biography is the shows website? DUH! What better source would there be. These are the guys making up the characters. Why should we have to go find a website where some reporter regurgitated the same stuff put forth by the original authors? Niteshift36 (talk) 05:30, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * It staggers the imagination, does it not? Angelriver (talk) 06:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure, why use the author as a source when we can use the use someone rehashing the authors work? But some wikinazi is going to demand it. Niteshift36 (talk) 06:54, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * There is a difference between paraphrasing and copyright infringement. If you wish to use the official site as a source, you cannot quote it word for word in a Wikipedia article as doing so infringement. Certainly there are other ways of saying the same thing without mimicking the writing of others....? 147.70.244.134 (talk) 23:50, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Plot summary that is too long compared to the rest of the article?
Could one honestly validate this complaint for a 24 character? Most of a character's development is told through the events of each season. Seeing as basically every action a character makes in the series has a specific purpose, it's no easy task. Sure, trim some fat, but to demand a 24 plot summary matches everything else in size is beyond silly. Outside of maybe copy-pasting information out of an official Fox profile, one would be lucky to get anything relevant of that size. Kanten (talk) 07:14, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Category:Fictional terrorists
What should we do with this category now that the first four episodes have been shown? I'm a bit wary using it, now we know he's deep cover. "Fictional hitmen" or "Fictional mercenaries", sure. But I'm a bit cautious about "fictional terrorists". Sceptre (talk) 19:10, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm just going to remove it. It's clearly incorrect. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:25, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Season Eight
As of right now, Carlos Bernard is not listed on any of the official Fox press releases as returning to reprise the role of Tony Almeida. The only main cast members whom Fox has mentioned as returning are Kiefer Sutherland, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Cherry Jones, and Annie Wersching. Speculation by a single newspaper's blog really isn't a reliable source, when in every other article out there, Carlos/Tony is not mentioned. Until there is something comes from Fox, Tony should not be listed as a returning character. --MiB-24 (talk) 04:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Logical Error
I have not seen this part, yet, so I do not know what is correct. Hopefully, someone who has seen this will clear it up.

The last few lines of the Season 7 summary read:
 * As he prepares to kill Wilson, Tony is shot and killed by Jack and Renee. As the FBI detains him, Tony curses Jack as a coward and a traitor as he is led away into FBI custody.

Correct me if I'm misunderstanding something, but I do not think that Tony could curse Jack if he has be "shot and killed". I assumed the "and killed" is a typo, but I do know for sure since I haven't seen this far in the show. Maybe the last sentence is out of place. If he eventually dies from the shot some time after being led away, then these sentences need to be re-written to make that clear. I'm reluctant to fix it until I've seen it for myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Otasyn (talk • contribs) 23:03, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Day 7 Fictional Sangala
Day 7 involves a fictional African country called Sangala. This article incorrectly linked this with Sangala in Pakistan. I have removed this link but it may remain on other 24 related pages.Anonymous watcher (talk) 14:22, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Legacy
Tony Almeida clearly failed to get Henry Donovan to talk. I don't get the logic of "more of an episode". All of this info on Tony is based off the episodes he appeared in. But obviously someone here wants to engage in an editing war with me.Frank.chan1983 (talk) 00:45, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
