24 season 6...jack is back again

[freedom78]

This show is like crack.

Jack Bauer kills for Jesus!

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.

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).

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. 

[Axl4Prez2004]

god damn I love this f'in show!     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.   

I can't wait for tomorrow night.

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.?

[Sakib]

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.

[D]

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.

[Neemo]

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

[Kujo]

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.

[bazgnr]

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.

[freedom78]

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).
