24

[Mr. Snackpants]

Anyone watching the premire? It's going good so far.

Man, I've been waiting for this day for 6 months.

Oh Snap, Jack Bauer just bit half that dudes neck off!!! I'm glad Jack is free very early on.

Great first episode!

[Raven]

I've never been able to catch this show before because of my work schedule but finally had a chance today with reruns of the premire and I'm really inmpressed, makes me wish I was watching it since it first started.

Guess I'll have to buy some season box sets.

[LogicDonny]

I first started watchign this show since maybe the 3rd or 4th season. The first hour was really good and very powerful moving.

C

[Mr. Snackpants]

I've been watching since day one. I remember watching it because I was bored...I'm glad I did, best decision ever.

I'm so pumped for tomorrow. After last seasons disappointment, this season looks very, very promising.

EDIT:
LogicDonny, have you watched the seasons you missed on DVD? If not you should. The first few seasons were the best.

[LogicDonny]

Last season was awesome despite the loss of many of the great characters we love..

This season has only started and started looking great..

[Mr. Snackpants]

I didn't like last seasons storyline. The president conspiring with terrorists...I don't know, I thought it was a little over thhe top. But most people I know liked it.

After last night, it's looking like this season could be the best since season 1.

[Toonami Tom]

I watched 24 last night, it was great. Jack's back and he's kicking butt.:D When Jack kicked that guy through the back of the subway and the guy blew up, wow that was awesome.

[Mr. Snackpants]

That was sweet but when Jack...

went zombie on that guy...wow. The greatest moment in 24 history, for me at least.

Something big is susposed to happen tonight and I don't have a clue as to what that will be. 5 more hours...

[LogicDonny]

The moment Jack came back, everything changed.. Jack rocks.. He's superman!! Not wait.. Batman!

Lol.

Couple great moments in this 2 hour premier

Jack takes a chomp on that guy's neck :D Ouch!
jack kick that f!@$ing bomb guy right out the door in the subway and he blew up!

The way jack is.. He's chuck norris.

I can't wait!

[Monkey Ambassador]

My professor for Intro to Video Production at SCAD directed a few episodes of the first season. Winrich Kolbe.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Holy crap!!!

Wow, this is the first time anything that devastating has "gone off", they usually stop "the big ones".But they didnt stop this one, I was shocked the thing went off. So there's four more out there. But who is in charge now that Fayed is gone? I was very sad when Jack had to shoot Curtis, I really liked him. Jack will come " out of his short retirement " with a vengance

Just saw the preview. I guess Fayed survived, I thought he was in the blast. So long for Jack quitting, "not after that".
Oh and I now remember Fayed said he was going to the safehouse, so he wasnt in the blast.

[Warhorse]

^Hey, I'm still catching my breath from tonight's episode. It mean, wow. It's a scary thought, thinking something like this could become a real nightmare for us.

How bad do you think it will get for LA? Think they'll find the other 4?

[Mr. Snackpants]

After tonights episode, I haven't a clue...anything could happen.

Oh I forgot. This was my favorite line tonight and maybe ever (along with, "im going to need a hacksaw"):
Jack runs up the the Jeep Cherokee guy, tosses him to the ground, turns around and yells at him, "DON'T GET UP!". THen takes off in his car. That dude is probably still laying in the street. If that was me, I know I would be.

Hahaha, I was lmao. It was hilarious.

[Toonami Tom]

Wow! This is a powerful season. I think Curtis is dead.:( I really hope he's still alive, but I doubt it. It seems like the bad guys are winning so far.:o Let's hope the other 4 suit case nukes can be found before they are detonated. I know Jack can still save the day. I can't believe he shot Curtis though....:(

[LogicDonny]

I have no words on how shocking and powerful this 4 hour premier.

I almost cried when Jack shot Curtis Manning why I almost did is because the person was a big part of the series. The person has being part of Jack's team through the years and you know how it felt losign someone like this..

Also, some of you posted earlier than me but how are you all able to see this show early?

[Mr. Snackpants]

I'm in the Eastern time zone. where do you live?

[LogicDonny]

Pacific Time Zone.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Then that's why.

[Toonami Tom]

I was thinking of making a 24 RPG. Jack Bauer would battle the Foot Clan.:D Would anyone here join?

Also, I found out that Curtis really is dead.:(

[Mr. Snackpants]

What made you think he wasn't?

[Toonami Tom]

Well, Tony got shot in the neck in season 3. Just wishful thinking that Curtis might have lived, but it turns out he didn't.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Oh that's right, he did didn't he. I just figured Curtis was dead because it was the whole scene was brilliant and having Curtis live would ruin it. I also read Curtis was listed as a "special guest star". I stopped reading the cast at the beginning of the show because it can ruin things like this...I'm glad I did,

[Mr. Snackpants]

Wow...

The bluetooth headset guy(Graham thats his name or Gray. it sounds like both, i cant tell),the one from last season conspiring with President Logan, is Jacks BROTHER! Wow, didnt see that coming. This adds so much to this seasons story. I would've expected something this big to come at the end of an episode. Maybe I just dont remember, theres been 6 seasons, but was it ever mentioned Jack had a brother? Hopefully Jack finds out his brother was involved in Palmers death, then its be lights out for Graham. Next week we'll see jacks father (To bad they didnt get Donald Sutherland). I read somewhere that the end of episode 6 is huge.

Oh and it's pretty funny Graham got Jacks leftovers...ehhh. haha. After watching Jacks reaction to Grahams son and how he looked at Grahams wife, I wouldnt be surprised if that is Jacks kid. Looks a lot like a male Kim. Haha. I actually hope its not, to Soap Opra like. But that may be one of the reason they hate each other so much, if Graham knows about it.

[LogicDonny]

so what u guys think of monday's episode.. i thought it was ok not as exciting as the first few hours of this season.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Very, very boring. Jack wasn't on screen hardly at all, basically just the beginning and end. This episode was about Walid and Tom-Karen. Definetly a filler. The ending wasn't even a shocker. I already guessed those guys with Jacks dad worked for Graem. So basically I was disappointed.

[LogicDonny]

I was kinda disapointed these past couple episodes considering they had to make jack's bro and jack's father appear in the show. ugh.. isn't this jumping the shark!?

24 is great but putting in stuff just to make it longer like this I don't like.

Graham wanted to kill jack also and now he captures both jack and his dad.

Jack will escape like always.. just watch.. it's so predictable.

[Mr. Snackpants]

It's not jumping the shark.

This is the first episode this season I've felt disappointed. I'm not sure about Graem being Jacks brother. I thought it was an awesome twist at first. I'm not sure about it anymore, but I'll wait until the seasons over to make a final judgement. Bringing Graem back will help tie in last season, I hear Logan will make a few appearances. Hopefully the action picks up next week.

[LogicDonny]

Wow so unexpected..

Grahm is dead by being injected with something by Jack's father

I was like whoa when Jack went all berserk on Grahm for telling Jack all the stuff that he did last season.

[LogicDonny]

24 contuines to surprise me with some suspenseful moments including the return of Martha Logan or was the ex-president wife.

She had a big role in this episode including 1 shocking moment she stabbed Charles Logan for the evil thigns he done last season and I dunno what to say but was it good for her to do that or not? Also, she's like crazy or something. I wonder if Charles will live next episode. I hope.. He's not a bad character.

She was always a nut job, Logan's crimes simply allowed her to make use of her paranoia in a more constructive way. I'm surprised the writers remembered it given her character slowly dropped that part

[LogicDonny]

Ya however I didn't expect it to happen till the camera scroll to the plate and knife then I had a sense she might do it.

[Mr. Snackpants]

The CTU mole twist has been so overdone, so if Nadia is working with the terrorists (which I believe she isn't, and it's all been a mistake) i'll be royally pissed.

[LogicDonny]

It could be the new guy the one everyone thinks is an Ass. Can I say ASS on here!?

Looks like one good episode.. keeping me on the edge of my seat..

[Mr. Snackpants]

Best last 5-10 minutes I've seen in a long.

Jack taking down all those guys and then fighting Fayed...awesome. A great way to finish him too.

You knew that phone call wouldn't be a good one...I figured it would be from the Chinese and Audrey being alive will make for good drama. It starts with the Chinese and ends with them too. I love it when they start a new strong storyline to finish the season. The nuclear bombs were getting boring...a rescue mission should make for some great action that has been lacking as of late.

Oh, and Jack hitching a ride under that garbage truck was pretty lame...but they made up for it when jack became a one man wrecking crew.

[LogicDonny]

yep that sure was one hell of an episode.. At least we are glad the bomb storyline is over.. now on to the president's health. I hope he's ok and the chineses.. arrrgh not again.. I thought it was going to be over with Jack being released but oh well, let's hope jack will be fine and Audrey will be saved? and Audrey is alive !? Wow that shocked me.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Audrey being alive didn't shock me because I ran across something on a 24 fan site saying she would make an appearance this season...this was after Jack found out she was dead. So I figured that phone call would be Audrey related. I hate spoilers :x

[LogicDonny]

Mr. Snackpants, stop visiting sites with this kind of stuff during a season or before.. just enjoy the suspense like me. this is all I can say.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I wasn't looking for spoilers. The site just had an article that said something like "Kim Raver to make an appearance later this season".

[Toonami Tom]

Last night's episode was awesome! Best episode of the season so far, IMO.:)

Fayed got 'owned':D

[LogicDonny]

Anyways, last night episode was good not as good as last's week excitment.

President Palmer falls in a coma again during the speech he started to repeat things he said and couldn't remember what he said, jack wants to get Audrey back by giving the chinese the chip motherbard from the nuke bomb but will destory it once he gets Audrey.. Vice President Daniels was going to resign but as the president collaspes and goes in a coma, Daniels is once again acting president and his first thing was to stop Jack from doing the mission of getting Audrey back"

So yes anyways, maybe 6 episode left in this season.

[LogicDonny]

With 4 episodes left of 24, Micheal Shanks (star of Stargate SG-1) makes his first guest appearance on 24 as Mike Bishop.

The return of James Heller, Audrey Raine's Father is pissed at jack spewing harsh words at Jack telling her to stay away. His last words of the episode were hurtful and shocking considering Jack tried to do everything to protect his love one.

[Mr. Snackpants]

THEEE worst episode of 24, probably ever. A complete bore. It was laughable, especially the morris-chloe scene. The next 3 had better be effin awesome.

[ZariusTwo]

The level of respect the people behind 24 have for their fans also seems to also stretch all the way to accountibility

With viewer complaints on the rise and ratings on the decline, two producers of "24" are acknowledging they blew it this season and are vowing to do a better job next year.

In separate interviews published this week, the producers said the current, sixth season of the Fox suspense series has been "challenging" and "tricky."

One of them - co-executive producer David Fury - admitted the season was poorly planned, forcing producers to end its principal storyline earlier than they had hoped.


(Source: New York Post)

So the last six episodes were'nt the "twist" to the story at all, but a mini-season designed to make up for how s*it this season has been.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I agree and it's funny because I was thinking the samething at the end of this weeks episode. First they start out with the threat of a nuclear bombs. Jack was just realeased from a Chinese prison. Jacks own brother and father both knew of it and are basically bad guys. The family element is taken out. Jack eventually stop the bomb threat. Then gets a phone call from the Chinese who have Audrey alive. Blah blah blah, a few episodes and Audrey is safe. When you thought you saw the end of Jacls dad, here he is again and he hired the Chinese to get his grandson because according to the previews he wants his son to grow up in a more grateful country. So I assume the last 3 hours will deal with Jack getting his nephew back.

So basically this season was all over the place. The beginning was great. Once family got involved it became rediculous. There were so many changes in direction for one season....I mean this is in real time and it has all seemed unbelievable.

My wish for next season would be to have Jack constantly in the feild, none of this sitting around at CTU being held and questioned. Just him out in the field stopping bad dudes with the full cooperation of CTU. No more of this working behind peoples back because its getting old. Trust him for gods sake, look at everything he's done. I'm so tired of the same elements in every season. Freshen it up, more action. This season really has been a disappointment and I feel embarassed to even call myself a fan anymore.

Amen. This stuff right now is for dolts who watch Bold and the Beutiful every week and are accustomed to bastard sons and evil family members, and repelling the law as one man armies. Jack needs to be brought down to Earth and treated as a guy working with CTU, not the one man John Rambo they've made him (I blame the creators allowing Jack's cult status to get to their heads, and the lack of Tony and Curtis allowed them to go overboard without treating their cast equally)

What I'm truley appauled at is that characters who had great closure, like Martha Logan, went back to being psycho cases, and Logan and Palmer are given the "ambigious" treatment because the writers are too chicken to kill off either of 'em...and equally as chicken to keep them alive for fear of not knowing what to do with them. Logan's role from last season of a corrupt President is now being repeated, and this was LAST SEASON, they did'nt even wait years before repeating the same stuff.

[Mr. Snackpants]

This show is just....god awful now. I am so disappointed. I loved this show for 4 seasons. For those 4 seasons this show was sooo so good. These last two seasons, not so much. Although last seasons finale was very exciting, when Jack was taken away by the Chinese. This finale? Meh. I could care less about the safety of Josh, he annoyed the hell out of me.

Were they trying to make you think Jack was going to jump off that deck? Because it wasn't very high and if they killed him of it would be on screen and not inbetween seasons. I'm not sure if that's what they were implying, but thats what my mom thought (what does she know).

I was hoping for a clear hint about next season. I iagine it will deal with the Chinese. I read they will make a change in direction because the writers know the f***** up this season and basically the whole series. My god is the writing horrible, I just laugh.

Whats gunna happen next season? Will they have to pull Jack out of hiding to help CTU save the nation? Because, you know, they haven't thought of that yet.

I'm sorry...I'm just pissed that my favorite tv show has become garbage.

I need to change my avatar...****.

[LogicDonny]

Mr. Snackpants I can understand how you feel. I felt the same way about this season. it started out good but they gotten the show stale.

I have no words except hope the show actually have a better story next season.

When I saw Jack go onto the cliff I noticed he was confused with what he should do next because he at a Crossroad with his life.. He wants to let her go. He should just quit CTU and move on.

[Tabularasa]

Totally thought he was going to jump off last night. But then they it just ended. It was weird. Not too sure how I feel about it, kind of pissed I mean the whole thing revolved around getting Josh back. There was no real set up for next year. But I have faith that the writers are so upset with the storylines this season that they'll make next season better. But like snackpants said next season some big threat will make CTU call Bauer out to help them-although I still wish they could come up with something that's not so predictable

[LogicDonny]

if you remember what Cheng says "they will get me back". the chinese might be a threat next season.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Yeah the finaledid revolve around Josh. Am I the only one would could care less about that little ****? You would've have had to care about his safety to enjoy the finale.

I wanna see Jack, in the field for basically the whole 24 hours. Take the drama in his life down to minimum. Quit arresting the man for gods sake, he has saved everyones ass many times. Give him CTUs ful help. No moles. No bad presidents. Just Jack tracking down terrorists and taking them down.

[LogicDonny]

and his ultimate special move the kick of doom.. kciking a terrosit out of the door and exploding in an awesome fashion.

[ZariusTwo]

oC1E-7TwLfo

[Mr. Snackpants]

Bringing someone back from the believed dead and now they're the enemy.

Lame.

[ZariusTwo]

...And it's not even the FIRST CTU operative "beleived dead" to come back as a terrorist...even if it's the first one we've known long-term.

So they've brought back an old character, and rehashed a plot device used twice in the series to cover up for the fact they couldnt film in Africa or afford Gary Oldman to begin filming (but he may be showing up as Tony's boss later on)

[Mr. Snackpants]

All hope for this season is already lost. This show used to be the best drama on television....now it's the best comedy on tv.

I'll watch just because I've invested so much time into it and I can't back out now.

[Toonami Tom]

I actually think this is going to be a good season. I'm glad Tony is back and making him the villian adds a new twist.

Wouldn't it be strange if Tony kills Jack? I hope that doesn't happen.:o

[ZariusTwo]

I actually think this is going to be a good season. I'm glad Tony is back and making him the villian adds a new twist

...It's HARDLY a new twist. Several of Jack's former friends (mostly all of them we never met until they appeared in a season) beleived dead have come back as terrorists or agents with patriotic agendas, even his family turned on him last season

As for the whole "Will Jack kill Tony? Oh my godz" crap, they pulled it off already with Curtis. Nobody gives a damn anymore.

Hell I loved the fifth season, the one where Jack brought down a Presidency, that, by all means, was when the series jumped the shark.

[Toonami Tom]

Right, I guess Tony will be the male Nina Myers. Only Nina was bad from the start, but Tony appears to be just a regular guy with issues (Anakin Skywalker syndrome).

I also loved the 5th season. Although, Logan being the villian was really a sudden stretch. Hmm.... I still loved it though. "Marty, David Palmer didn't say that.":lol:

[ZariusTwo]

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/38225

They've hit the same brick wall they did last season...unbeleivable. A major strike allows them to refine things, a prequel movie gives them the season their budget wouldnt be able to afford consistently, and now there again going to "take it in a fresh direction" for the final six episodes

[Toonami Tom]

Well, at least the new season will be airing in January (or so they say). Still though, you're right ZariusTwo, this is unbeleivable.

Fox had better show season 7 in January.
