Important people have to die each year; those writers are great

[Charles Woodson]

Yea but pretty soon there gana kill everyone off except for jack, and then there gana try to kill jack off but jack wont die

[Charles Woodson]

But yea i actually was more pissed when they killed Pres. Palmer the first.. I loved that guy, but my favorite part is after u find out he dies it went ot comercial break and he did a state farm comercial

[Bretsky]

Palmer was a bummer, as was Edgar.

But Michelle was very disappointing; they've killed off too many hottied in that show. I still remember the short lesbian scene from year one; that's what probably got me hooked.

[Charles Woodson]

hmm have to look for that scene... Was it last seasons? yea i really liked edgar, him and cloey were like the comic relief. I also didnt like the ending to tony

[Bretsky]

hmm have to look for that scene... Was it last seasons? yea i really liked edgar, him and cloey were like the comic relief. I also didnt like the ending to tony

Nope the scene was from Season One; very first year.

I dug Cloey and Edgar too; cannot stand Cloey's new guy

Yes, Morris is a cat name; not a hard ass name...lol...

I'm waiting for Jack's daughter to skimpily show up.

[Charles Woodson]

Oh yes Kim :oops:

Yea Natayla is the new girl shes niceeeee i dont like the guy thats with karren in the white house

[GBRulz]

Curtis is gone. Tony is gone. This show needs more hotties. Rumor has it Chad Lowe has signed on to come on the show....oh yeah !!! :lol:

[HarveyWallbangers]

Elisha Cuthbert better be in this season.

[Bretsky]

Curtis is gone. Tony is gone. This show needs more hotties. Rumor has it Chad Lowe has signed on to come on the show....oh yeah !!! :lol:

Curtis is not dead yet; the show needs Kim.

She's used 24 to springboard her career, well...that...and a bit of nudity in a couple movies she was in.

She needs to go back to her roots.

[Bretsky]

Elisha Cuthbert better be in this season.


Oh she is, and she's mighty fine. You better stay out of here though if you aren't watching; this year we're discussing plot.

Curtis IS dead !

I think that new girl on the show (don't know her name off hand, she works in CTU) is much prettier than Jack's bitchy daughter

[GBRulz]

The 10 most moving minutes of the show so far.... Curtis being shot and the nuke going off...

At the end of the show they were carting Curtis off, but I don't think there was confirmation Curtis is dead....maybe I'm wrong.

I was surprised Jack shot to kill there.

[GBRulz]

B, I wasn't sure either, so I went on the Fox 24 site and it said in the epidsode guide that Jack went into despair about Curtis's death.

[MadtownPacker]

I was surprised Jack shot to kill there.
Thats what Im talking bout!!

I watched the last hour of 24 to see what all you mofos where talking about. I found it interesting enough and action packed but Im not really into espionage stuff like that.

But your hero Jack didnt need to smoke his suppose-to-be-tight homie like that in the neck. He could have shot him on the arm holding the gun but instead he saw a black man with a gun and decide to settle it own his terms. Im not sure if the shows storyline is that that is all Jack Bauer knows how to do but when he did it I was like DAMNNN!!!! Over some terrorist??????

Nice drama fo shure though and the nuke at the end made me feel it was worth spending an hour watching.

it says deceased..

Also I hate the guy Thomas Lenox hes the guy in Homeland security with Karren.. B is he the same guy that screwed up the recording last season?

[GBRulz]

Are you talking about James Heller, the Sec of Defense who handed over the recording to Logan last year? If so, then no, it's not the same person. Tom's character as the President's advisor, is new this year. Isn't that what Mike Novik was to Logan last year though?

can i get a confirmation on the nudity?

I read where the Muslim community is once again protesting against the show. They did this back in Season 4, I believe.

I'd have to say that I don't agree with them blaming the show. It's just that, a show. 9/11 changed the way many feel towards Muslims. It's not because of race, it's just how it is. I have absolutely nothing against people just because of their race or religion, but I have a hard time believing anyone who says they don't take a 2nd look if one is sitting near you on an airplane with a briefcase or trenchcoat. We are just very suspicious of people in general and tend to be more attentive to our surroundings. 9/11 changed that, not 24.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/01/19/24.muslims.ap/index.html

CLIFTON, New Jersey (AP) -- Two years ago, Muslim groups protested when the plot of the hit Fox drama '24' cast Islamic terrorists as the villains who launched a stolen nuclear missile in an attack on America.

Now, after a one-year respite during which Russian separatists played the bad guys on the critically acclaimed series, Muslims are back in the evil spotlight. Unlike last time, when agent Jack Bauer saved the day, the terrorists this time have already succeeded in detonating a nuclear bomb in a Los Angeles suburb.

Being portrayed again as the heartless wrongdoers has drawn renewed protests from Muslim groups, including one that had a meeting with Fox executives two years ago over the issue. (Watch why "24" is worrying Muslims)

"The overwhelming impression you get is fear and hatred for Muslims," said Rabiah Ahmed, a spokeswoman for the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations. She said Thursday she was distressed by this season's premiere. "After watching that show, I was afraid to go to the grocery store because I wasn't sure the person next to me would be able to differentiate between fiction and reality."

She said the group had a conference call Wednesday with Fox executives to protest the current plot line and request more positive portrayals of Muslims on the show, but was not promised anything.

After a January 2005 meeting with CAIR, Fox aired a commercial in which the show's star, Kiefer Sutherland, urged viewers to keep in mind that the show's villains are not representative of all Muslims.

In a written statement issued late Wednesday night, the network said it has not singled out any ethnic or religious group for blame in creating its characters.

"24 is a heightened drama about anti-terrorism," the statement read. "After five seasons, the audience clearly understands this, and realizes that any individual, family, or group (ethnic or otherwise) that engages in violence is not meant to be typical.

"Over the past several seasons, the villains have included shadowy Anglo businessmen, Baltic Europeans, Germans, Russians, Islamic fundamentalists, and even the (Anglo-American) president of the United States," the network said. "The show has made a concerted effort to show ethnic, religious and political groups as multidimensional, and political issues are debated from multiple viewpoints."

The current season began with Muslim terrorists waging an 11-week campaign of suicide bombings across America, culminating in the detonation of a suitcase-sized nuclear bomb in Valencia, California, about 26 miles north of Los Angeles. Estimated death toll: 12,000.

Watching the show's characters talk about detonating a nuclear weapon a few blocks from where she works unnerved Sireen Sawaf, an official with the Los Angeles-based Muslim Public Affairs Council, and a self-described "huge '24' fan."

"It's a great show, and I do realize it's a multidimensional show that portrays extreme situations," she said. "They have gone out of their way to have non-Muslim terror cells.

"But I'm concerned about the image it ingrains in the minds of the American public and the American government, particularly when you have anti-Muslim statements spewing from the mouths of government officials."

Sohail Mohammed, a New Jersey immigration lawyer who represented scores of detainees caught up in the post September 11, 2001 dragnet, watched the episode depicting the nuclear attack with an Associated Press reporter.

"I was shocked," he said. "Somewhere, some lunatic out there watching this will do something to an innocent American Muslim because he believes what he saw on TV."

Engy Abdelkader, a member of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee from Howell, New Jersey, launched a campaign Wednesday to encourage Muslims offended by the program to complain to Fox.

"I found the portrayal of American Muslims to be pretty horrendous," she said. "It was denigrating from beginning to end. This is one of the most popular programs on television today. It's pretty distressing."

Concerns about Muslims' civil rights, detention of terror suspects in Guantanamo-like holding centers, and stereotyping are given vastly expanded treatment on '24' this year. In one exchange, the show depicts the president's national security adviser challenging the White House chief of staff over the detention of Muslims without criminal charges.

"Right now the American Muslim community is our greatest asset," the security adviser says. "They have provided law enforcement with hundreds of tips, and not a single member of that community has been implicated in these attacks."

"So far," the chief of staff responds.

I completely disagree. Nobody went into culture-shock when Oklahoma City was blown apart by a white guy. Instead its been explained as a lone white guy acting all by himself, not a representation of white people. No crack-down on right-wing survival nutcases, no extra screening for renting U-Hauls, or even purchasing fertilizer.

Do you get nervous when you see large rental trucks parked outside government offices?

9/11 was about Muslim extremists committing horrible acts against the US. People afterwards use it to rationlize their own racial inclinations and make judgments about people they never met.

But I do agree that CAIR may be over-reacting to "24".

David Palmer might be my most recognized commercial actor. He is in a million all-state commercials and a slew of other commercials as well. Very recognizable voice.

[Freak Out]

I'm still in season one so none of this means shit to me.....I was intrigued when I saw the trailer of the Rasputin looking Jack coming back from lockup or something. My wife’s hooked so I'll catch up fast.
How many episodes a season?

[mmmdk]

24 glorifies torture. I'm sure Da Bush likes that. Yet, freedom of speech is important even though the hidden messages are of a maleficient nature. But Pentagon/FBI has blue stamped the show (that worries me)...I wonder, if there was even the slightest questioning of the methods used, would Pentagon/FBI then give the thumbs up!? Every warlike movie/TV series gets indirectly censored in the US, at least, money wise and if military equipment/knowledge is needed. Freedom of speech? I guess the boundaries gets nodged every day...and more rapidly in the post 9/11 era.

Who owns the press? Pentagon is NOT promoting it as they already "know" the truth. Beware of those claiming to behold the truth.

I like TV entertainment as much as the next guy but 24 is propaganda...they'd have been proud in the good ole Soviet Union & DDR. Even Putin is taking notes...IVAN LIKES DEMOCRACY - IS THIS WAY? IS VERY GOOD FOR OUR TRUTH. IVAN MAKE BASKET.

[GBRulz]

I wonder if we start seeing Logan again, soon. He was in contact with the "bluetooth gang" alot and I noticed one of them in next weeks preview. I read where Logan is on the show this season, just don't know when or how many episodes.

Yea its the main guy, hes really white and bald with glasses, hated those bastards too.

[Charles Woodson]

bump

[Charles Woodson]

Note to self,

When Jack Bauer is enterigating you, dont swear on your familys life...
Damn

[GBRulz]

interesting, Jack's brother is the head of the bluetooth gang.

IMO, 24 is moving really slow this season. Sure, the nuke and Curtis was a huge shocker, but other than that, it's kinda blah. Last season was my fav so far, and it's certainly going to be hard to beat.

But, I saw Chad Lowe on for next weeks show. Finally, some eye candy for the women :lol:

Wow! You know about that show? It's been off the air since the early 90's! but yes, Chad Lowe played jesse, the guy with AIDS. In real life, he was married to Hilary Swank until recently and also, Rob Lowe is his older brother.

[BallHawk]

We watched it in school for sex awareness or something. Wasn't half bad, actually.

Yea well it looks like jack doesnt care about his brother

I have a theory that Greys wife had an affair with jack and that the kid is jacks and merrideths

[GBRulz]

Oh ok. I was wondering how you knew about it, since it went off the air about the time you were born!

I loved that show!

[GBRulz]

This show certainly generates some higher profile actors. James Cromwell to play Jack's Dad!! he's been in a ton of movies.... I think playing Mr. Skolnick in Revenge of the Nerds gave him his big break !!

[GoPackGo]

oh so it was Jacks brother who was calling shots for the terrorists in season 4. I can't wait until Jack realizes and tears him a new one. I'm also wondering what Jack's dads part is in this.

[Charles Woodson]

its backkkk

[Bretsky]

I hated that pimp on ER; he's a jerkoff on 24 too

[GBRulz]

What the heck is Tom's agenda? That guy is an absolute DICK !

[Bretsky]

What the heck is Tom's agenda? That guy is an absolute DICK !


He's undermining the pres; his agenda is to position himself to be the heir apparent IMO

Basically hes waiting for the pres to screw up, and then hes gana try to take over. damn bastard i hated this guy from the begining.. Next weeks show seems good

[GBRulz]

I could see if he was the VP, but he's not.

I'm wondering if Cheney is also the VP on 24? He's non-existent :lol:

[Bretsky]

Twenty flippin four

Jack's brother trying to kill both him and his dad. That guy needs to have his manhood cut off.

[Bretsky]

NO WAY; JACK'S DAD !!!!!!!!!

[GBRulz]

I had a feeling the Dad was behind it all.

Lots of backstabbing assh*les in the show this year !! More so than usual, I should say.

[Bretsky]

HERE WE GO; TIME FOR 2 HOURS OF THE GREATEST SHOW ON TV :no: :doh: :whaa: :whaa: :bow:

[Charles Woodson]

Damn, Jacks got himself in a bit of a pickle, and im gana be pissed if morris dies, i kinda like him

[Bretsky]

Morris is a wuss; Jack Bauer is now unpowering a bomb; he has 3 minutes to save all of LA

[Bretsky]

Why can't Jack Bauer outsmart his dad ??

[Charles Woodson]

Why can't Jack Bauer outsmart his dad ??

Many his dad is the biggest ass. but really lets think about this, hes 60-70 meaning he has 30 more years max, why does he go through all this hassle

[GBRulz]

Well, next week he finds out about his Dad!

Somehow, Chad Lowe's character has to be involved with the Russians somehow. I mean what is so important for them to pass these resolutions in the White House that they'd want to assasinated the Pres??

I still wonder where Logan fits in. I read where he will be on this season. Is he the brain child behind the assasination plot??

He is Tom's sidekick

[GBRulz]

Maybe it's just me, because I'm a "girl and can't handle it" :roll: but I am a little disturbed by the amount of brutal torture this season is showing. The power drill into Morris's body repeatedly until he caved in was just disgusting.

[Charles Woodson]

yea but whatever the torture is fine, damn

People in 24 who are pissing me off:
Tom
Philip Bauer
Morris
Miles
Toms friend
The VP

[GBRulz]

Is Jack's Dad, Philip? Then I'd have to agree with you on that one.

[Charles Woodson]

Is Jack's Dad, Philip? Then I'd have to agree with you on that one.

Yea this season is going to be good till the end though

[GBRulz]

Have you seen all the prior seasons? I have to be honest, this one is my least favorite by far.

[Charles Woodson]

Have you seen all the prior seasons? I have to be honest, this one is my least favorite by far.

yes ive seen them all i didnt say this was my favorite but its gana be good i mean come on were not even half way through

[GBRulz]

I can't help it, I'm still bitter that they killed Curtis off !!! :x

[HarveyWallbangers]

Season 2 was by far the worst.

[Charles Woodson]

I can't help it, I'm still bitter that they killed Curtis off !!! :x

yea they kill so many people off, you just gott to learn not to get attached, and anyways if he would have stayed alive he would have died when they went in the house last episode and the house blew up.

[BallHawk]

Season 2 was by far the worst.

Season 2 was absolute crap.

Season 3 was very good.

This season is alright so far. I expect it to get better, but you never know.

[Charles Woodson]

This season is alright so far. I expect it to get better, but you never know.

Thats what i was tryiing to say

[GBRulz]

interesting with Logan in the spin of things now.

This season seems to go deeper into a character than past seasons. Maybe that's why it's moving a little slow? I dunno.

[BallHawk]

Here's a prediction: 24 will make a change of directors at the end of this season.

They've run out of ideas. The plot is predictable, it's slow-moving, you watch an episode and at the end of the episode you think; Did anything important happen? and to be honest, the answer is no. You feel like they're just throwing in Logan for the shock-factor to see him on camera.

Ay, Ay, Ay. 24, please step it up. House is in your rearview mirror.

Na but the thing with logan was planed since the begining of the season.. I dono i dont think its thaatt baddd

[GBRulz]

I guess we'll find out more next week but why the heck isn't Logan rotting away in prison? I mean he was responsible for an ex President's death.

[Charles Woodson]

I guess we'll find out more next week but why the heck isn't Logan rotting away in prison? I mean he was responsible for an ex President's death.
him along with grey and philip bauer. See the tthing with 24 is that when ever jacks in these life or death situaions you know hes gana get himself out of it because if not everyone would stop watching 24

[swede]

Chloe is HOTTTTT!!!!! 8)

In a desert island "it's either her or the iguana" kind of way.

Once the series goes down the tank, probably in about 2 seasons, they'll kill him off in the show's finale, but by that time no one will care.

[Charles Woodson]

Crappy episode

[Bretsky]

Crappy episode


Too show moving; they need to pick it up a notch.

Then again our expectations are so high it's tough for them

[BallHawk]

Didn't we use to have a barfing emoticon? I'd like one of those right now. This whole story with Morris is so damn pointless. And for the love of God, why do all American writers think the British people use the word "bloody" a lot. Both my parents are British and they never say it, neither do my relatives. It's minor, but a real pet peeve of mine.

[swede]

You Brits are so bloody sensitive.

[BallHawk]

You are a bloody piece of rubbish! :wink: :D

arent you the one tha bloody complains about all the bloody torture scenes?
Next weeks episod looks like there more bloody torture scene

Yes, but somehow somebody is going to off Tom and cover this up for a while.

They need to spice it up a bit; remember year one with the short spicy grailee scene ? Face the facts; that's when you became addicted....lol :lol:

Actually, I didn't start watching until Season 3 and then rented the previous two on DVD. Nice try though, B :lol:

Jack is going to bust into the Russian constanate (sp?). Gee, there's an original idea. I agree 100%, they need to spice this season up.

[Charles Woodson]

Idk i thought this episode wasnt bad.

[GBRulz]

ok, know how at the end of every episode they show previews of next week? Was it just my station that felt the need to break into the Steven Avery trial ? I didn't see any previews of next week :cry:

[Charles Woodson]

basically they launch an attack on the consolit. The pres threatens to "realease the armys true power" and a few other things.

ok, so it just was my local station. I figured as much. There is this trial going on that the news feels the need to interrupt programming anytime the judge sneezes in the courtroom. :roll:

Thanks CW

Jack Bauer Breaks into a foreign embassy by himelf

Jack Bauer once again taken prisoner

Man trying to do good shot in head


That's 24

[swede]

Something about the face of the head of the Russian consulate was really familiar to me. It was driving me crazy. I had a snippet of a flashback of that wide mouth eating food with poor table manners and I couldn't place it.




And then I had it.



The Russian that had his finger snipped by Bauer played Lord Denethor, High Steward of Gondor, in the third Lord of the Rings film, Return of the King.

[GBRulz]

Is TT the writer for 24 this season?

Moving slower than I'd like

[BallHawk]

Maybe TT can sign Jack Bauer for "off-field relations"

Can you imagine Jack sneaking into the opposing teams coordinators' booth and forcing them to punt on 1st down? Perhaps slipping a mickey in Al Davis' Gin & Tonic and then attaching electrodes to his testicles until he trades us Randy Moss for Robert Ferguson? That's one way to improve the team.

[Bretsky]

Is TT the writer for 24 this season?

Agree completely

[BallHawk]

Nothing in the series surprise you anymore. It's become a prisoner of its own plot. The stabbing of Logan would of been a little surprise if they didn't run commercial after commercial with Aaron shouting, "Get someone in here!"

Screw Jack Bauer, bring in Brett Favre. :twisted:

[GBRulz]

I think one of the big differences between last year (IMO, the best season ever) and this season is the stories. For example, this season, we've been looking for these nukes since the first episode. There isn't a whole lot going on other than that. Last season, there were short little plots that lasted 3-4 episodes, which kept it fast moving.

I think this year is more character focused, too. But gosh, there's got to be a better story than Morris fighting his alcohol battles.

and I have to say WOW, has Rick Schroeder aged!!! I remember being in love with him from the "Silver Spoons" days :oops:

My family watches that show..They love it..I think I watched half an episode once, but never got into it..Maybe I should? :idea:

Feel free to skip season 3, though. It sucked.

Ditto; you'd love the show. I thought Season 3 was OK. This one is the slowest or my expectations are just too high

[BallHawk]

It's a bit of both, Bretsky. Yeah, we have high expectations, but the plot this season is slow and boring. Morris and his booze is getting dull. I'd rather he just get some Vicodin and a bottle of Scotch and get it over with.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Season 2 was the worst. It was the preachy one.

DOWN WITH THE DRONE DOWN WITH THE DRONE

[Charles Woodson]

idk i was wondering what happened with audrey, but if they actually make that a part of it that Jack kills the people who killed audrey then ill be mad. I know this season was supposed to be jacks "emotianal" season but i mean its about taken down the effing terrorist

[rant off]

Anyways, anyone wana take a guess about who is the one behind the leak?

[Kiwon]

I bought boxed DVD sets of seasons 1 and 2 and seasons 4 and 5. I skipped season 3 due to poor reviews.

We don't see them during the broadcast year but watch a whole season's worth around Christmas every year. We're always behind but the commercial breaks and waiting a whole week for 40 minutes of the story must be annoying as heck. The DVDs also have interesting special features.

Based on everything I'm hearing it doesn't sound like 24 is up to snuff this year. The choice of familiar actors has been often criticized along with the slow developing story, and Russian terrorists once again.

Hollywood is drowning in unknown actors that would do anything to get on the show. Using them would give the storyline a little more believability (if there is such a thing in the world of 24). Jack's Dad this year will always be the farmer from "Babe" or the scientist from "I, Robot" in my mind. Just an odd choice I think.

In real life, the top threats to the US are Islamic fascists and China. Sticking with a halfway realistic enemy isn't PC but it would add credibility to the show, IMHO. A Hugo Chavez character from Latin America would also make for a compelling story. Better yet, a Chavez-Castro plot would be excellent. An aging Maxist grooming a younger Marxist.

24 will never live up to potential though. The pressure to remain PC is simply too great.

I have no idea what's up with Audrey. I know she is on another show, so I didn't figure her to be part of 24.

Here is how bored i am with 24 this year..... I absolutely forgot to watch it last night. Like B said, maybe expectations are too high, but this plot is very slow moving.

I HATE TO ADMIT IT, BUT 24 HAS TURNED INTO A NORMAL SHOW

[BallHawk]

I watch it out of obligation. It's what I do on Mondays. Is it interesting? Not really. However, I still watch.

Damn, I wish Top Chef was back on. That show kicks ass!

Me too; Monday at 8 is 24 hour. But for the first time in six year's I'm disappointed

[GBRulz]

I didn't watch it again tonight. I was out of town all day...got home ate some dinner and then looked at the clock, it was 9pm. Oh damn, I missed 24 again ! and for the first time, I am not upset !!

From what you guys said, it doesn't seem to be picking up at all, eh?

I was pissed when the Pres stopped the VP, and then the VP stated how he felt the Pres was not competent.

Just too out there and moving slowly

[Bretsky]

HERE WE GO AGAIN

[Bretsky]

I'm thinking this must be Jack Bauer's last season. He's playing a lesser role every week. Too much plot and not enough of what has made 24 the most intense action packed show in the history of TV.

[Charles Woodson]

Hmm, well did you see the scenes from next week?

[Bretsky]

Hmm, well did you see the scenes from next week?


Yes, I did; but Jack cannot die. I could see it happening in the final week of a season, but not yet. That thing hit hit bullet proof vest.

I wonder if Audrey is coming back this year ?

Remember Audreys dead. Supposively she was trying to find Jack and got in a fatal car acident.

Yea but didnt they sign Jack for 2 more years? idk whenever they have jack in a tight position i think, but they signed him for 2 more years.

[Bretsky]

I know they reported Audrey to be dead; I'm just in denial and they left an out to that script.....could have been somebody else's body.

Didn't know Jack was signed for two more years; I think he's directing the show this year so I too would be surprised if he left.

[GBRulz]

when did they say Audrey was dead? I missed the last two weeks, maybe it was then?

They are trying to do too much with the characters and storyline's this year vs action (unless you count torture).

Someone is going to get canned after this season...the writers would be a good start.

Ok, where is Jack's Dad....and that woman who was married to her brother and her kid?

[Bretsky]

Stepping it up a notch tonight; solid episode

I'm back on the 24 Bandwagon

A few weeks ago; it was reported Audrey was killed while looking for Jack while he was being held prisoner. They found a body that looked like her; however I do think they left an out to bring her back on

Apparently, Audrey is not dead.

Yes, about a year ago he signed a 3 year contract worth $40 million. I believe he is the highest paid actor on TV. I do remember him doing some of the directing as well. Maybe he better stick to being Jack Bauer! Up until tonight, this season was pretty slow going.

I CAN'T WAIT TIL NEXT WEEK; I'D WATCH IT OVER THE BUSTY BLONDES ON CINEMAX :lol:

[GBRulz]

I'm right for the first time this year?? :( :shock:

[BallHawk]

Finally a great episode! Everybody knew that Audrey was alive, but it was good to have our presumptions confirmed. The fight scene at the end was awesome, as well as when Jack cracked the guys neck.

24 is definitely back! :glug: :glug:

Yes, the chain around the neck and then raising him up above the ground was a 24 classic

And then the dirty Chinese terrors; that same dam guy is back again

[BallHawk]

I like having the Asians as the bad guys as a little change from the normal Arabic Terrorist plot.

Perhaps we can have Kim-Jon-Il for next season?

http://blogs.theage.com.au/entertainment/images/200KimJonIl.jpg

If that isn't a classic 24 villain, than what is?

[Kiwon]

Be careful with your postings about "The Dear Leader," BallHawk. Always spell his name correctly (Kim, Jong-Il). I don't want to be murdered in my sleep.

Guilt by association, you know.

Actually, "24" is tame compared to what actually is taking place in N.K. Unbelievable cruelty. Talk about man's inhumanity to man.....

[Charles Woodson]

Tonight was lame.

It's hard not to be better than the beginning of the season, those were horrible. The episode on Monday was alright, I guess, but the whole "Audrey's been brainwashed and mentally abused" plot is kind of dull.

Another shocking death; Milo shot between the eyes. Classic 24

[Charles Woodson]

i thought they would can moris

[BallHawk]

i thought they would can moris

I wish they would. Morris is just a bad character. You don't care about him, you don't feel for him, he's just there. Milo was a shocker, though. One of the highlights of the season (there haven't been many.)

I admit that the last few have been good, but the first 15 or so episodes were unbearable. I started to watch it out of routine, not interest.

There's only so many times you can have so many things happens. Unless they get a completely original plot twist, the program will creep downhill.

not a big fan of the whole personal life of jack bauer, i agree he needs more action. Aside from that do any of you watch teh office? it had a great quote

Dwight: Who would i like as my number 2 man? Jack Bauer, all though he is unavalible and fictional.

[Bretsky]

Never seen The Office

Shows I really enjoy are

24
Boston Legal (one of greatest characters is "DENNY CRANE"
House (pretty good)

Gray's Anatomy (please be gentle with the chick show jokes guys)

The UK Office is so much better. I like Steve Carell, but Ricky Gervais in the UK is fantastic. Also, the UK one only had 14 episodes over two seasons. It kept you wanting for more, but you knew that it wouldn't get any better then it had already been. The US Office is running out its welcome, IMO.

Personally, I was hoping Jack would put a bullet in Heller's head. I thought It'd happen, too, when Heller talked about Jack's Wife.

It wasn't the action we were used to seeing, though. I can understand the emotional part, but we've gone through that the whole season.

Quote from Producer of 24 on Season 7.....

"Jack starts next season in a very different place than any other season so far. Let's put it this way, I wouldn't be surprised if there's no CTU next year. CTU has become almost too comfortable you know?....We're pulling the rug out from under our characters. It's a pretty radical shift-a totally different context with a totally different villain. There will not be a ticking clock on a nuclear device. We're hewing much close to real life: tighter, more personal, more difficult for Jack. There may even be a plot thread that doesn't take place on US soil. In a sense, it's a reboot in location and personnel. We're going to be introducing a new stable of characters, along with a couple of old ones. Jack's not living under an alias. He's found a place he thinks he belongs and a job he enjoys doing that doesn't involve the government. What's also refreshing is the choice of villain: It's not a terrorist at all. And the character is fascinating, someone with a supremely dark past who's done something horrific and whose ambition is to regain his stature in the world. I just can't say enough how exciting it is. It's going to be pretty damn cool".

I became a huge fan 2 years ago. I bought and rented all the previous seasons and am now completely caught up. It's the only tv series I watch or have watched in a good 15-20 years.

[Bretsky]

JACK is back tonight

[Kiwon]

JACK is back tonight


No PR reviews of '24' yet?

How were the first episodes?

[sheepshead]

Again, I love the show. The fasted 2 hours I ever spent watching TV. Good stuff.

[texaspackerbacker]

Has anybody noticed that the show went liberal this year?

It's a wonder that hasn't happened before, as Kiefer Sutherland is a flaming leftist, just like his anti-war/hippie father was.

This year, the "bad guys" are the ones saying bringing down a genocidal dictator isn't worth the cost of American lives. Come to think of it, I guess that's more a Ron Paulist attitude than an interventionist conservative position.

I think they must have done the writing for the show back when they expected Hillary to win the election, as they have a very Hillary-like president.

Oh well. It's still the best show on TV. And Sunday night, it was followed by the other best show on TV on CBS, The Unit.

[mraynrand]

This year, the "bad guys" are the ones saying bringing down a genocidal dictator isn't worth the cost of American lives.

I didn't know there were any dictators left. And the U.S. and Israel are the the only genocidal nations remaining - Israel (with U.S. help) is wiping out muslims and the U.S. has wiped out native americans with small pox blankets. You need to read more Howard Zinn.

[sheepshead]

Also, is that janeane garofalo? It does look a little like her. That flaming left wing lunatic? Nice face lift yikes.

[Patler]

There is something definitely wrong with the writing this season. Four hours have gone by, and Jack Bauer has yet to kill anyone. Has he ever gone that long before without at least one kill?

[TravisWilliams23]

Also, is that janeane garofalo? It does look a little like her. That flaming left wing lunatic? Nice face lift yikes.

Yea, that's her. I saw some quote by her basically saying she “was initially very reticent to do it, because I heard about the right-wing nature of Joel's [24 co-creator Joel Surnow] politics and the torture-heavy scripts.” But, she quipped: “And then I thought, 'I'm unemployed!'

Knowing her political stance, I have a hard time watching the show with her
as an FBI analyst. Now, if in later episodes they have her character turning
over military secrets to the enemy, it would be more believable! :lol:

And Patler, I believe your correct about Jack not offing anyone this late
in the game. His statement before Congress was dead on though.

Yeah, that's another liberal dandy"I'm smarter than you so I must be right".

Examining McDaniel's data, you should first notice that even the largest difference between states’ mean IQ—the 10.2 points between Massachusetts and Mississippi—is actually not at all enormous. And that’s especially true compared to the differences among countries. There, gaps of 30 points or more are not uncommon (e.g. Austria vs. Congo-Zaire ).

The median Massachusetts student would score at the 61% percentile nationwide, and the median Mississippi student at the 35% percentile. This isn't a tremendous difference—but it would be noticeable if you moved from one state to another.



I respect the research but beg to differ I would notice a huge difference between my and Tex's abilities. He has to spew his liberal hatred in every post talking about "flaming","hippie", anti-American leftists and i don't even consider myself liberal I am a moderate, I vote both parties. He is the reason Republican's were voted out this time he is as disgusting as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and Al Franken on the left. He is in the God,Guns, and Gays crowd if you don't love two out of the three and hate the other you are anti-American. I don't love nor hate any of them but chose to accept they are all here to stay and I can respect most all of their views.

That's great - perhaps you can continue to extrapolate an entire election result from your own perceived differences between you and Tex and where you live. Have any other anecdotes to share?

What's this, my name is being taken in vain again?

First of all, I refuse to take a backseat to anybody on IQ level, especially the lefties who display neither the brains nor the balls to even present rational points of view (or usually even irrational ones). You shouldn't either, Sheepshead. As I sort of said earlier, after two days of duking it out with aynrand and the other two elitist brand conservatives, I feel like I've had a good workout. On the other hand, getting into an argument with our forum leftists doesn't even raise a sweat. A sarcastic comment or two, and they run and hide.

As I said over in the Packer half of the forum, never say never, but I try not to say anything too bad about wrongheaded forum members. Public figures, on the other hand, are fair game, and I'll call a flaming leftist America-hating bastard a flaming America-hating bastard anytime I damn well please.

I'm not familiar with Garafalo (appearance, anyway). Is she the hot reddish brown haired one who seems to be exhibiting Jack Bauer tendencies? Or is she the mousy one with glasses who was matching wits with Chloe?

I would agree, and you can hate on Tex all you want. I took issue with you saying that generally blue states have residents with much higher IQs. Thus, you are implicitly saying that Conservatives are less intelligent than Liberals. You'll notice that my home state, North Dakota, is one of the yellow states.

Gee, thanks for giving people permission to hate on me. I love you too.

The second (and real) map obviously makes more sense. The thing that stood out the most as wrong about the first chart was Utah. I have yet to meet a stupid Mormon, and they had Utah as dead last.

The correct chart still has the south and Bush states in general mostly lower, and that seems accurate. Common sense, after all, doesn't necessarily correlate with IQ.

As for me, despite the name, I'm a Wisconsin boy at heart and in my roots.

BTW, both the phony chart and the real one could be construed in a pretty racist way if a person was of a mind to. Clearly, the whitest states are the highest level and the ones with the most blacks and hispanics are down at the bottom. I guess that just shows that the testing is biased, right libs?

I hope Jack Bauer kicks Tex's ass for bringing the political banter into this thread. :twisted:

[GBRulz]

I have a channel on my U-Verse lineup that I never noticed before, it's called the Crime and Investigation Network (CI) and they are currently airing Day 5 at night now. IMO, the best season ever.

I like how this season started, much better than last IMO.

Who are you working for!?

I brought politics into this thread? Oh yeah, I guess I did--sort of.

Blame the writers of the show. There has always been a strong element of politics in it--that's a large part of what makes it interesting. This year, however, there was a not too subtle change--and based on the posts, I wasn't the only one to notice it.

Things have gotten off track in the thread, though. I think you have to blame somebody else for that.

[Bretsky]

the RR is polluted with political manure; lets get this thread back to enjoyment

Seeing MM is taking his sweet time for a defensive coordinator it's clear he's waiting for a Jimmy Johnson attacking like blitz scheme

Why not hire the ideal attacker

Jack Bauer for Defensive Coordinator

Jack Bauer; Army of One

Jack Bauer would use a one man pass rush and drop everybody else into coverage. Sounds like a plan to me.

[Bossman641]

Thoughts??

I like where this season is headed so far.

[BallHawk]

Ignoring how technologically unrealistic some of the stuff is this season, so far the season is pretty good. Bill, Tony, Chloe, and Jack are pretty great.

[sheepshead]

I didnt notice Renees hooters until she was running around this week. Think Jack Taps that sometime?

[Charles Woodson]

2 hrs tonight

[MJZiggy]

That show still on?

[Bretsky]

amazing this year :!:

[BallHawk]

Technological flaws and mind-blowing ignoring of logic aside, this is a pretty good season.

agreed with the first part... They first of all ignore that there would be any cameras at all in the white house, and secondly that they could cut all transmissions like that...

[sheepshead]

Great stuff-great show. Interesting how they bring back the old crew and weave them in.

[LL2]

I'm doing the usual and waiting until the entire season is on DVD, because once I start watching a season it's hard to stop.

Right now I'm keeping busy with watching Alias. I just started with the first season and so far I'm hooked to watching every season of Alias will keep me busy for a while. I started watching Burn Notice but it never kept my interest...so after about the first 5 shows I moved on to Alias...the hot chicks in bikinis was the only good thing about that show.

There was a lot of hype/praise for the '24' finale this year.

Was it as good as advertised?

How did this year's '24' season compare to other solid seasons (2 or 4)?

Should I plan to purchase the complete season when it's available on DVD?

You talk like it's over. There's something like four more episodes. It started at 6AM, and last week was, I think, 1AM - 2AM.

[sheepshead]

very good season. Jack kills Tony? Kim dies? Jack is a raging lunatic next year due to that chemical bath? I wish he would (or somebody would) boink whats her name. She's a babe.

There's no way Jack makes it to a next year without some treatment. There's got to be more of Kim in the last 4 episodes or Jack's a goner.
