  24 Season 6 Prequel

  by topaz4206

  Is the Season 6 Prequel on the S5 DVD set, like they've done in previous years? I heard it exists, but I've only seen it on the internet in horrible quality.

  Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari? Oh man, just because a series is old doesn't mean it's a classic! I remember watching this show in the 80's but I'm not interested in revisiting it.

  "almost overloaded with great characters"

  by newc0253

  yeah, many of whom were killed in the opening 10 minutes. seriously, i'd like to say day 5 was my favourite (esp with david fury and manny coto writing) but i can't: the first 15 hours were brilliant but the whole cat-and-mouse with Logan after that was kinda flat. the last couple of hours were great though.

  24 box set

  by moviemaniac-7

  I own the region 2 one, that was released almost a month ago. Since the show started here in September or something in the Netherlands, I had to grind my teeth and ignore the broadcast, already awaiting it from Amazon early November. I managed to keep spoiler free all along the year (that included NOT READING whatever Herc and the talkbackers had to say - quite hard). This season (the 5th) is f***ing awesome! Brilliance from the first till the very last minute. Too bad that the season 6 prequel is not on the region 2 dvd box set. There is one floating around on the net for the past week or so, BUT IT IS A FAKE. It uses all these 'old' movies with Kiefer, Morshower, et al and intercuts it. Nicely done, but obviously a fake (the movie with Sutherland in the prison camp is TO END ALL WARS - quite a good movie, but with Kiefer very not Bauer-esque). Can't wait until the real prequel pops online somewhere - I guess today or tomorrow.

  24

  by franklin t marmoset

  I was a little disappointed with this last season of 24. It started very well with the shooting and the explosions and the many cast members seeking other employment opportunities, but somewhere about halfway through it kind of ran out of steam for me. The story went all floaty and seemed to be - if I remember correctly - about Jack chasing a cassette tape. And this cassette tape did not have a bomb or a virus or had kidnapped Kim or anything. It was just a regular cassette tape. Not very thrilling. Also, the bit with the submarine felt like someone tacked it on when they realised they were making an action show about a man in hot pursuit of a dictaphone. I did like very much the man who played President not-Nixon, though. he was very good, and also not a crook.

  I just started with the airing of season 5 and since have bought them all. They're honestly equally great, all for different reasons. That's not to say there aren't weak points in each...we're talking about entire seasons of a TV show. But episode for episode it's the best TV show I've ever seen and I'm a Trekkie.
