QWhat happened to Max and Trepkos?
AAfter sailing off at the end of season two, Max seemed to have disappeared. The truth is Max was "taken care of" in 24: the Game, which took place roughly 18 months between season 2 and season 3.In the Game, Max's plot included releasing Ricin into the LA Harbor, an assassination attempt on Acting President Jim Prescott, a phony Sarin gas attack on the subway, kidnapping Kate Warner and Governor James Radford before ultimately conscripting and assassinating the latter, an attack on a U.S. Military base, and smuggling weapons out of the country with the coerced help of Bob Warner.The Game also followed up on how Chase and Chloe came to work at CTU, as well as delved deeply into Jack's relationship with Kate Warner. The Game also featured a secondary villain from Jack's pre-CTU past named Peter Madsen who targets CTU with an EMP in order to release a prisoner and obtain an important hard drive, kidnaps Kim, and coerces Jack into stealing confidential data from a CIA building.Alexander Trepkos' wherabouts are unknown at this time.In episode 3.1 Wayne Palmer reveals it was David Palmer who, in a weakened state, authorized a manhunt for the masterminds behind Day 2's events and arrested the one in charge, meaning that since Max and Peter Kingsley were both killed, and since Trepkos appeared to work beneath Max but above Kingsley, that Trepkos was likely the one arrested.
QWhy didn't the government agencies respond to the nuclear bomb attack on Day 6?
AIt would be very hard to portray on television. In reality, if a nuclear bomb really went off in a major US city, it would likely be impossible for the story to focus on the main hero (Jack). Too many problems would need to be addressed. But season 6 was meant to focus on Jack's relationship with his father, so they had to just abandon that plot and moved on to a different plot arc.
QWhat exactly is Division?
ANo one really knows. But, it appears to be the regional oversight section(think Internal Affairs) of CTU that carries a large amount of jurisdiction and seems to mainly focus on crime scene investigation type work. Division is run by the Regional Director.The term "division" can be taken as a double entendre; on the surface, it is the administrative headquarters of CTU (and maybe some other agencies as well). But it is also possible to understand it as the source of excess bureaucracy that creates a rift, or "division," between the people who make decisions from a comfortable office and those who get their hands dirty in the field.
