Here Today... Gone To Hell!

after one of the best 24 seasons yet...season 6 will premiere january 14th and january 15th (again a 4 hour season premiere)

here's the first trailer for season 6  http://www.24trailer.com/

Season 5 was my least favorite after season 3.  I am definately looking forward to season 6.

I'm falling behind now since I don't have access to Sky.  I saw up to half way through season 4 (if that was the one with the virus).  One day i'll buy them all on DVD but not today.

Still, it's gotta be one of the best shows i've ever seen...

HELL YES!! i can't wait! season 5 was really awesome i thought!!!!

for those of you who cant wait...the season premiere has leaked

download them from (torrent)
www.xtvi.com 
or http://tvrss.net/search/?show_name=24&show_name_exact=true

Awesome...I'm gonna DL 'em tonight.

Can't wait to see them.

Looks REALLY good.

 :beer: :beer:

Both of my sons are in hockey tournaments this weekend.  I hope I get home in time!

24  :drool:

Surely one of the greatest shows in television history

Last season I'm not so sure tho. Hated the new president - anyone else think it was major overacting or was that the whole point? He just annoyed me so much I struggled to enjoy it. Thought season 4 was one of the best.

-Greg

i have just finished watching the first 4 episodes ... i now know again why i love this show
im not gonna say a thing since a lot of you havent seen it yet

I liked Season 5, I have it on my IPOD. Season 6 I will watch but The trailers I've seen don't really do anything for me

When interviewed, the actor who played the pres said it was intentional overacting.  It's what the director sort of asked him to do. 

He had no idea he was going to be the "foozle" (big bad boss baddie) at the begining of the season...the writers and directors didnt' tell him.  So they WANTED his character to come accross a bit phony, and this was there way of getting that.

I saw the first ep (hour) last night.

It contains the best Jack Bauer kill EEEEVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRRR!!

Better than cutting the head off the pedophile with the hacksaw in...season 3, I think? Maybe season 2....

It gets off to a rip roaring start and I can't wait for the other 3 hours to DL. :)

Season 2. Because it's when he's a bearded monster, isn't it. Or, just after he shaves it off at least.

Bearded monster the first, I should add.

Season 3 ee's all respectable and with Chase like, in the prison at the start, innit.

that was a great way to escape and indeed a roaring start...have fun with the other 3

Keifer Interview:

http://www.craveonline.com/filmtv/articles/04647306/1440_minutes_with_kiefer_suther.html

24 is and has been the best show on network tv the past 5 years.  The best!  I am so psyched.  I can't wait for Sunday!

I was telling my wife about what a cool opportunity to place Chinese Democracy (the song) in the background as Jack is being handed over by the Chinese.   ;D  Great trailer music too.  That opening riff is catchy.   : ok:

So looking forward to the new season.  More Jack, no Kim, great positive buzz already...all is well!

Brilliant Idea about CD but unfortunately since the season has been done for a while now it probably won't happen. bummer man!

They had the cast on Larry King last night.  It was pretty good, nothing earth shattering, probably stuff that's been said in other interviews.  I enjoyed it though.  Can't wait for the premiere, yet I will wait till Sunday and not download the episodes.  Call me old-fashioned.  If anyone wants to see any of the Larry King stuff, I'm sure there's probably some stuff on youtube.

The first four episodes are fucking nuts people. If you're a fan, you have to watch. Some unthinkable things happen, things you would never expect. Trust me.

This show is like crack.

Jack Bauer kills for Jesus!

they are amazing, only problem i have now is having to wait for the 5th hour to leak

Unfortunately, it probably won't (or at least not soon).

The first 4 were part of a DVD promo set that Fox sent out to reviewers.  Thus, it leaked.

The 5th hour won't actually go up to satellite, if the past 2 -3  years are any indication, til late Thursday or early Friday before the Monday air date....and it's been scrambled since S3 or S4 (can't remember which).  Leaks have been few and far between until either late Sunday or early Monday (the air date).  By that point it's easier just to wait until broadcast.

It sucks, I know...I used to DL the eps early...so when it all changed to prevent the wide spread spoilers going out, I wsa bummed.   Who knows, maybe they'll change it all back again (I doubt it, but...who knows).

there's a 10 minute preview of ep5 on the torrent sites, b

not when you live in the UK, we're usually about 5 episodes behind. so downloading is the only way to stop spoilers really

Do u need to watch the first 5 seasons to watch the 6th? Or is it something u can jump in and understand?

I'd like to start watching this but I am about 5 seasons late....

There's a good bit of backstory, as well as a fairly large cast of characters with complex histories between them.  If you've been with the show from the beginning, you'll likely get more out of it.

That said, it's simple and straightforward enough that it's pretty accessible, and never too late to jump in.  I say start watching...you won't be sorry.

Four hours to go:

Boop - BEEP
Boop - BEEP...

This season didn't start as intense as in seasons past...but I did love watching Jack kill that guy with his teeth.  : ok:

god damn I love this f'in show!   :drool:  My wife was running upstairs to care for our baby who's sick right now.  I grabbed the last 20 minutes on the vcr for her, so we watched it and I got to see the ending twice.  Great stuff.    :yes:

I can't wait for tomorrow night.   8)

I think it's really hard to just jump in right now. There's so much stuff that you have missed (Jack's wife, Jack's daughter...etc. etc.)

Things like that are key to understanding his character.

I think you could watch it...you might fill in your weekly free time by watching earlier seasons.  If you watch just Season 1, you'll have an idea about the character, how he acts, and what's important to him.  But don't be surprised if there are some moments in the current season that spoil previous seasons climactic moments.  Overall, it's a little sacrifice to jump in to the series, but if you're gonna do it, you should do it NOW...don't wait another couple of weeks, or you'll be lost for this season, too.  Even if it spoils the earlier seasons, a little, it's worth it.  Lord, is it worth it.

I think it would be ok at the least to pick up seasons 4 and 5 before watching this season based on the two hours I watched tonight. His posistion now and how is here is better explained by watching those 2 seasons. And I think you can get enough of the Characters and backgrounds of the current cast from that. But at the same time you do miss alot of Jack by not watching it from the begining. But I really wish you could edit Kim's (his daughter) storyline from the second season cuz it just plain sucked. Actually besides being nice too look at they could have left her out of most of the seasons she was in besides the first.? :smoking:

Anyone know when it'll air on british television?

Yeah, I didn't like that part so much.  Still, it shows you the tremendous tolll that Jack's life has taken, and the type of man he is, whether he can admit that to himself or not right now.

After last season's first episdoe, this one had a lot to live up to;  while not as outwardly shocking, the show is once again off to a great start...so glad to have 24 back.

Im not gonna watch it.

I'll start renting the DVDS of Seasons 1 through 5 or catch a marathon hopefully on A&E and then be caught up for season 7 next year.

i watched most of this last night...I wasnt really lost...i think im gonna go rent the other seasons but i'm gonna watch this season too....

it seemed pretty exciting...but not nearly as indepth as say a show like Lost

Wow!

Its going to be a fun 20 weeks or so. I won't give any spoilers, but just when I think I wont let his show hook me again, it does just that.

Agreed.  The whole deal with Curtis didn't go down well with me (it seemed drama for drama's sake), but I could buy it given the context of the show.  Although my suspension of disbelief was pushed during the second episode, the ending hooked me right back in.

Unbelievable.  And unbelievably good.

I had a bit of a strange moment during episodes 3 & 4.  Recall the son being held hostage by Kal Penn's character ("Kumar," from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle!).  His name is Scott Wallace.

My name is Scott Wallace. 

I'm trying to recall if I entered some sweepstakes to get my name in the show or something.  This would go over better, had I not been drinking. 

At least my name isn't Edgar Stiles.

Still thinking that after the end of last nights show?

Jack's return to his "Lost Boys" roots at the end of the first hour is just fucking awesome....but the end of last nights show was a WTF moment (2 of them, actually, right in a row).

OMG, the fucking cougar, in S2, is the absolute lowlight of the entire series.

Give it time.  I mean, it's never as entrenched in mythology or backstory as something like Lost (which is why it's easier to pick up at the begining of a season...while with Lost, if you missed S1 and S2 you're, well, lost), but it does get pretty wrapped up and convoluted by hour 12 or 13...it's just mostly contained within one single season.  So it's a big buildup....which takes some time.

No...I'm no longer thinking that.  My mouth was hanging open at the end of last night's episodes.  Literally hanging open.  Incredible stuff.

nadia? :drool:

(http://home.planet.nl/~crapt001/24/nadiayassir.jpg)

Nadia is hot.

Yes, the cougar in that old season was the worst 24 moment ever. 

I still appreciate Kim Bauer's character from the old shows because I like hot chicks...alot.   :)

I loved the 1st 2 episodes this season, and loved the next 2 even more!  Hands down, my favorite show on tv.  I did get misty-eyed toward the end of last night's episodes.  Jack kicks ass.

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I was laughing my ass off also when that guy made her stay in the bomb shelter or whatever. My girlfriend at the time was screaming at the tv during s2:"Why won't she just die already!!!? :hihi: That was pretty damn funny. I called all her storylines filler. Which is it what it was. It still seemed the writers were getting the hang of that type of show and concept and used her character, escpecailly in the second season as filler.

This season I agree in the first 2 episodes didn't have that much impact, but how can you top the intro to last season. I mean come on, everybody starts dying. It was crazy. But the end of lasts nights 2 hours was pretty damn good. They say the movie is a go, and to expect it sometime next year, I wonder how that will be?? I think it can transfer pretty well to the big screen.? :smoking:

Tonight on Countdown, I swear that Keith Olberman tried to claim that 24 is right wing propaganda.

His show was a lot better before it became an ultra-cynical, leftist, Edward R. Murrow wannabe.

He used to be the anti-Bill O'Reilly.  Now he's just becoming a left wing version of Bill O'Reilly.  Still better, but it's getting old, really quickly.

Insanity!!!!

 Folks it is television (damn good TV) but lets put things into perspective. It is about entertaining an audience and throwing in suspense. I actually read a while back that the show was actually a testing tool for the Bush White House to test the waters on how internment camps for Muslims would fare in US public opinion.

 Wow this is beyond insanity.

Not to mention that the show was developed pre-9/11, and just happened to become incredibly pertinent.  Of course, some whacko probably thinks Bush and Fox got together to cause 9/11, so that Fox would get a cash cow show, and in return support Bush's policies on their news network.  Yeah...

Also, the first four episodes make a concerted effort to illustrate the inherent conflict between security and freedom, and there's little question that the President's sister is a more sympathetic character than the FBI guys who arrest her.

I cant wait to see this thread on tuesday after the torture scenes start  :hihi:

Cant get enough of  the promo

Evil Dude from season 5: "You're hurting me"
Jack Bauer: "Trust me, I'm not."

Freedom78, you hit it on the head alright.  My wife and I have watched 24 since the first season and it has always been a show that illustrates solutions are not black or white, liberal or conservative, they are gray, and often oscillate back and forth depending on the situation.  For example, this season's "security vs. freedom" theme.  Brilliant.  It ws Benjamin Franklin who once said, "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security."

I think the left-wingers get a little nervous considering the production team, writers and producers, are right-wingers.  I saw them on C-Span this past Fall/Summer (I forget which) and they were at some Conservative think-tank for a panel discussion on terrorism....hosted by Rush Limbaugh.  It was fun to see some of the cast up there fielding questions about the show.

BTW, oh my, Jack shooting Curtis.  I had tears in my eyes.  "I can't do this anymore."  Great tv.    :yes:

I can't wait for Monday!  : ok:

Any show that I can actually sit thru for 4 hrs in 2 days is damn good.

I'm also sick of the president's sister already.  :-\

yeah, she's definitely over-acting.  Her man though, the one sent into the detainee camp is a very good actor.  I'm liking his role.   :yes:

Yeah, it's a very gray world.  Makes me think post-modernism is on to something.  I didn't start watching it on TV until season three.  My wife and I rented season 1 episodes 1-4 on DVD...and watched them all in one night.  I'm sure we finished that season in a week or so.  Then we rented season two.  And we finished up in time for the debut of season three. 

So, there's a debate going round my wife's office.  One of her coworkers thought Jack DIDN'T kill Curtis, and that he shot him in the shoulder.  SHE AND I thought that he DID kill him, and he was shot in the neck.  Now, it wasn't certain, because the show ended, but any speculation on which is true (both bullet placement and death?).  From the look on Curtis's face, I think it COULDN'T have been a shoulder shot.  Come on...he's CTU.  He wouldn't puss out from a flesh wound, right people? 

I've seen her in a few other things (Friday...you ain't got no job, you ain't got Shit to do!...among others) and she always seems to act like that.

It certainly appeared to be a shot to the throat. As you said I couldn't imagine Curtis, or Jack, reacting to the shooting the way they did if it was just a shoulder wound. The first four episodes are out on DVD already. I might pick them up and watch it again because that scene has been bothering me. Jacks character has been shown over all the seasons to be a very good shot. Why shoot him in the throat? Was there no other areas exposed that could have disarmed Curtis without killing him?

Anyone else remember that Jack had the same dlemna that Curtis faced? Curtis wanted revenge for all the people in his troop that got killed. It was personal. Jack had the same situation with Nina. He did let her live a few times because it was what was best under the circumstances, but soon as she was of no use anymore, Jack got his revenge.

I miss Nina actually, there hasn't been as good a "Bad guy" figure since she was killed.

Yeah, but this show's willingness to kill off its best characters is what makes is sooo damned good.  They do whatever it takes to make it an emotional rollercoaster.

Dude, I'm 1000% sure it was a neck kill-shot.  He had to go for the kill-shot.  Assad is too important...but oh, what the hell will Jack do if Assad really isn't the changed man we think he is at this point.  He had to do it unfortunately.  Curtis was one of my favorites.   :(

No Curtis(dead).... No Tony(dead).... where do we go now ???

man 24 started in UK yesterday night it was a doubl bill and omg it was such a kik ass way to open up a season.
You gotta love the way Jack just teared that dude's pulse out. This season may turn out be quite contreversial as it's an issue of 2days society in particular

Damn, I never watched it before but I just got through season 5, and now I'm up to date with season 6 and totally hooked. Just need to find time to watch the first 96 episodes now  :confused:

aaahhhh - I can't believe who he is! :o

I gotta tell you...I'm a little concerned that 24 just jumped the shark with that one.  I guess we'll see how it pans out over the next few episodes. 

i have just been rewatching season 1 at a rapid pace.  i think in the last week or so i've gone through 20 episodes!!!! i Love it!!!!

btw, i don't think 24 has jumped the shark. just wait and see...
there have been so many crazy things that have happened during the course of the show...i mean that whole cougar thing was just nutty , for one!

Do you think it was intended all along to make him Jack's brother when they wrote Season 5, or they came up with it for the writing of season 6 as a way to complete his story arc?

Yeah, I went through S5 in about a week finishing late on Sunday, and managed to watch the first 4 episodes of S6 during the day yesterday in time for the evening show. I have every single episode of every season on my hard drive right now (except for last nights) : ok:

holy shit. that was awesome.

if i'd read certain comments in here before watching it i'd have been seriously pissed off though. it's easy enough to talk about the episode without spoilers people  : ok:

No idea, but it sure is a curve ball.  Depending on how it's written, this can either be a really good plot twist, or a horrible one.  Here's hoping for the former...

That's exactly how I feel.  It's an itegral moment for the series.  It's either going to be "holy shit" good, or "holy shit" bad.

Given what the writers have managed in the past, I'm banking on "holy shit" good....but we'll see.

In the last year, I've caught up with all all 5 seasons, and have been watching the new season up to date. Making that prick ( also a prick on ER ) Bauer's brother seems like a stupid reach right now, but they always seem to make everything work - so I'll give it chance before bashing it.

The wife was pretty  hot

I agree that it's a reach.  I mean, the idea that a renowned federal agent (who at one point in the show was the assistant to the Sec. of Defense!) has a terrorist brother that no background check turned up...bit of a stretch.  I need to be reassured in coming episodes.

I think Grey is just a buisness man who went into the buisness of terrorism.... lets face it if he had no history of this kinda shit previously than back in the day when Jack was a gumshu then no background check would have told em anything

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16824779/

Whoops!

well that was an intense interogation...Jack seems more volunerable this season...




next week again 2 episodes

Love the back-to-back format...one hour just isn't enough!

It was a great episode.  2 hours next Monday!   :drool:

the return of Logan  ???

I liked it, I'm anxious to see where it goes. And i hope thats the last we see of Jack's dad though i doubt it will be. I didn't like the storyline with his dad, and his brother being the bad guy from last year. It just didn't gel right with me and seems they just added it in to add even more drama to Jacks life. Totally absurd and out of from left field, I know the show does that alot and most of the time it gels but not this time.  :smoking:

I hate Logan - not happy to see him back.

They wanted to give some depth to Jack's life so I was ok with all that.

Where did Jack get the suit from last night?  ???  He arrived at Logan's in jeans/jacket (or something non-formal) and then right near the end (without ever leaving Logan's) you see him in a suit, adjusting his tie. I guess Logan lent him one.

That's what I figured...you dress up to go to an embassy or consulate or anywhere with a President.  Unless you're cuttin' brush with Bush, that is.

I'm glad they brought Logan back -

I hate his character, but damn- that man plays a great sniveling f*cking weasel

I'm a huge 24 fan and found last week's show one of the best...last night's was a bit predictable.  I call it a "set the table" episode.  Next week will kick ass once again.  :yes:

I'm enjoying watching the all the old seasons for the first time, because I can watch 4 (or more) in a row and it doesn't matter so much if one episode is slow - plus no commercial breaks of course! Just into season 4 (I've seen the rest), don't know what I'll do once it's finished, probably something more useful :)

Out of all the seasons, I have to say the most 'shocking' moment for me so far was Jack killing Ryan Chapelle to buy a little more time.

Jack hasn't learned a thing...now he's putting Bill up with his problems
but what a way to get info out of someone  :P ...who needs 10 fingers anyway

The writing has been pretty weak this season, but there has to be some twist with the Russian consulate storyline. After all, 3 years ago (24 time) Jack led a raid on the Chinese consulate, then consequently spent 1 year in hiding and 2 years in Chinese prison with just a day off to foil a presidential conspiracy. It's going to be pretty lame if the payoff is just to prove that you can raid consulates and get away with it after all.

It looks like, unfortunately, that you were wrong, buddy.

Yet another sub-par episode this week, and after a premiere that looked so promising! This season is going NOWHERE, and that would be forgiveable if we maybe had some deep characters to occupy us while the plot isn't moving forward. But that isn't exactly in the spirit of 24, is it? The only good things to come from this season so far, character wise, are Tom and Morris.

I was thinking how this season could possibly end, and I was thinking that maybe Jack in prison wouldn't be a bad way to go. The Russian consulate was such a poor direction to lead the episode, and that is the first Jack torture scene that I have not enjoyed one bit; unnecesarily uncomfortable, bland, boring, typical and predictable.

And it was number 12!, I was expecting the mid-season twist/revelation.

For the moment, I'm sticking with Prison Break. Season 2 is so much better than this excuse for a 24 season.

Just for the record... The first eight or so episodes were great, it's only the last few that have let the show down. They can still pull it back!

Well, my wife and I sure enjoyed this week's hour.  I'm pissed that Assad is dead, I liked his character.  I'm impressed with Tom Linnux's character and his acting.  The new blond chick on the show with the vp? was on a show that was cancelled that we used to watch called Invasion.  She's cool.  And someone please help me...is that new character the warden from Shawshank Redemption???  It sure the hell looks like him!  He's a great villain from one of the all-time greatest movies.  :yes:

I'm not sure which character you mean.  Markov, the Russian consul, is played by John Noble, who played Denethor in LOTR.  He's not listed as having been in Shawshank (on imdb.com that is).

i stopped watching this season, just can't get into the show this year, it kinda bored me.

i started watching heroes and than after that is the Black Donnelys.....REALLY good show for those who haven't checked it out.

Me too...I started watching Heroes on the NBC site and it mushroom'd from there.  I havent caught the black donnelys yet though.  I'll probably grab them from itunes soon.

ahhhh, why didn't i think of that!!!  forgot most shows are online now..oh well.  I think i'm caught up, some hot chick is in the mirror or something, the other hot chick is a cheer leader whos dad was bad but now hes good?  i don't know whats going on and i think its still better than 24 this season.

Maybe it's because it's a Fox show, or maybe I've been reading too many posts from WAT-EVER, but has anyone else noticed that the characters on this show often say "nukular" instead of "nuclear"? 

Just a random paranoid thought... :nervous:

Maybe I missed it, but two episodes ago a former president was murdered by his wife on CTU business, and there has not been single mention of it by anyone in the next two hours  ??? And what was up with the Rainman tribute?

Ign.com put it best in their review of the last episode, calling it a very special episode of 24.  :hihi: This season is getting worse and worse. I'm still watching, prolly because i've been with the show since the begining, and it is some what entertaining but they really need to drop the new Jack Jr., and some of the stupid filler crappy boring ctu political drama crap that they have been doing way to much this season. They need to get back to giving Jack the majority of screen time, because thats what makes this show enjoyable.  :smoking:

I (sadly) agree that the show is getting silly. 

How many times will there be a bad guy in the administration?

How many times will there be a bad guy in CTU?

How many times will they pin a bad guy down, yet he's miraculously planned for this scenario, and has a helicopter waiting? 

They have to play out a scenario over 24 hours, and they've run out of ways to do it.

Yes, I agree that this season (so far) has been the weakest of the 6...but ya can't completely lose faith.  Here's a show that gives you 5 kick-ass days/seasons and once it hits a snag in the road you give up!  Please tell me HTGTHers aren't that disloyal!  Star Wars kicked ass with it's first 3 movies...then gave us mediocre 4th and 5th movies, but followed them up with a kick-ass 6th movie (Episode 3).  If you completely give up, I think you'll regret it when you miss Season 7.  Just my 2 cents.   :peace: 

PS and yeah, of course they need to make it more Jack-centered.

I'm still into it.  I look forward to Monday nights.  I hear people trashing the show time and time again but I'm loyal to the last drop.  I refuse to say that it's taken a turn for the worse.

He's the Secretary of Defense.

No Elisha Cuthbert -


What else needs to be said

She's hot and all, but damn that character really sucked! It led to a horrible angle in season 2 that almost got me to stop watching the show. By the end of season 2 I was really hoping they would kill her off. Stupid filler is all she was, and it was horrible to watch the scenes she was in. I liked seeing her because she was hot, but damn the writing involving her character is some of the most pitiful writing ever.? :smoking:

personally im really enjoying this series, alot, some great twists!!! and the tension and supense owns!

and come on, criticising the series because they didnt show where he got a suit from...thats just lame lol.

We could bring up how long will it take before jack goes to the toilet, has food, HAS SLEEP! Its a fictional series, you have to allow for small things like that.

The suit thing was funny, that's not a reason why this season is weaker then usual. Right from the first series you have to suspend disbelief and accept that they have a lot of hours to fill so there pretty much has to be personal storylines, moles, bad guys working in the govt etc, so that's not it either.

The weak thing about this season (IMO) is that the writers don't seem to think anyone is patient enough to follow a plot for very long, so you get these little 1-2 episode subplots that everyone then forgets about the following week - like Jack's dad, Logan and the rainman interlude. Plus the two main villains so far, Gredenko and Fayed, are like Laurel and Hardy, bumbling along with only the whacky writers to get them out of trouble. There must be some major plot twist coming soon, the suitcase nuke thing can't be carried for another 9 hours. Hopefully we'll get an explanation of why the Chinese released Jack, though unfortunately that will probably mean a live Audrey.

Unfortunately?  Sorry, maybe I'm old, but I think she's damn hot.  :yes:

Also, my imagination's working overtime.  Remember when the Chinese said, "Your country has paid a very high price for your return."  Well, wouldn't you sh!t your pants if it was a trade of Audrey Raines for Jack Bauer??  Who knows, anything can happen, and does on 24.
  I particularly enjoyed the back and forth, good, bad, good of Ricky Schroeder's character.  I was hoping that when he interrogated Hottie Nadia, he ripped the top of her blouse to reveal a nice heaving cleavage shot!!!   :beer:

holy shit finally a great episode this season?(old school 24) ...Jack going solo behind the terrorist (brilliant background music..Sean Callery is awesome)
and the chinese are back....Jack must be really pissed now

Am I the only one that thought the opening chords of Chinese Democracy would have added a nice touch to last night's 24?   ;D

Kick-ass episode last night.   :yes:

Great episode, and good that Audrey managed to call 30 seconds after the nukes were found and 10 seconds before the end of the show ;)

And A4P2004, yeah Audrey's hot but her character is weak IMO.

Good call tap1966.  Audrey is indeed alive.  She wasn't a favorite of mine, but I think she'll add a much needed and twist and lift to this season.  Great episode.  I'm back in, not that I was ever out.  But that episode got me going just a bit more than the previous ones.

Yeah, how cool was the chain-hanging of the terrorist?  The show rocks hard when Jack is the central figure.

did anyone else laugh out loud when Jack made the call to CTU from undeneath the truck??

I mean, yeah right. Was that the moment 24 'Jumped the shark'.
Personally, I feel 24 took a sharp decline the moment we met Logan but hey. Still compulsive viewing but this season I just feel that it has gone beyond ridiculous.

Here's hoping the Chinese twist plays out well

-Greg

Yeah I definitely laughed out loud with the call from underneath the truck.  I think the greatest parts are when Jack defies logic and does something no one could possibly do.  And he's done that many times over the years.  Just add another one to the list.

Don't know if anyone watches Rescue Me, but the chick in the firehouse reminds me of Audrey Raines a little -  both pretty hot

the new megadeth album has a big statement written by "Jack Bauer" on the back of the booklet.

the blurb was actually written by Matt Michnovetz who is apparently a Writer/Editor/Actor/Assistant Producer on the show.

for those of you that care :peace:
