This season so far isn't as bad as I was expecting, but it's just... kinda boring. Like we've been through this several times already. There's no real *spark* anymore. Jack seems tired, and as a result, we, the audience are tired and don't really care. The only shocker was Renee cutting the guy's hand off... now, that was a twist. But everything else? Kinda meh.
-
..can we get a little more Jack? Up to this point Jack has been just another part of the cast. Hopefully he becomes more of a focus. At some point we are going to have to see the old Jack, who would have tortured the hell out of Aceveda to get the info rather than pampering him all the way to CTU.
-
I agree that Jack seems to be taking a back seat this season to Renee and some of the other characters...maybe they are trying to push a 24 spinoff with Freddie Prinze or Renee
-
I would go on record and say these have been the worst opening 4 episodes of any of the seasons.
Its been totally by-the-numbers and pretty boring so far. The new characters so far really suck (sorry Starbuck), no interesting villains, no interesting action, just....dull. At least Renee is finally back and doing something. I'll forgive them if the rest of the season is jack and renee kicking ass together. -
Pretty much agree. I'm willing to forgive a LOT if we get more Rack crazy hotness this season. She is probably the best, no not probably, THE best sidekick since Tony.
If 24 producers/flunkies frequent this talkback (and they should) take note: we love Freckles Bauer! -
you are quite unhinged but still lovely.Best new character this season is the leather JackSack by far.
-
More Jack and Rack, Mack, Thwack and in the Sack bringing Sexyback please...
-
is good.But I hate to say that Jack Sack v2.0 looks kinda like a man purse. He needs to go back to the simple canvas model.
-
but so far the villains have not been interesting, but I love the actor playing the Russian boss. Besides we all know the real villains have yet to show there face. Another point on the watered down Jack not being right, he's bitching about Rack cutting off a dudes thumb to establish her cover when right off the bat in season 2 he kills a guy and chops off his head to do the same thing.

The real question: Will Jack even torture anyone this season?
by boynamedsue
After nearly dying at the end of last season and supposedly seeing the "error" of his ways, and seeking forgiveness from a Muslim cleric??? Will he be in a situation where he has to resort to torture this season????
-
Apparently there are some mid-season belters for the audience, some of which i know but i'll have to maintain my silence for now. If what Ive heard is right though, then oh boy!
-
....it seems like a season 9 is a 99% certainty in one form or another.
-
I was happy to hear Starbuck herself was joining the show, but this secret past/psycho stalker boyfriend storyline has pissed me off right away. I can't conceive of any possible way that storyline will become a positive one. And the failed background check is silly, too.By the way, I know I was the only one watching it, but has anyone noticed Katee's storyline is very similar to the back story of a cop from "The Unusuals"?
-
... Renee was brought in as THE ONLY person from the FBI who could go undercover with the Russians, and Jack's sudden volunteering to join her, it felt tacked on and undid all the good stuff that this season had done so far.
Would have been better if the Russians attacked parts of New York to cause Havoc on the Roads, preventing Jack from getting to the Airport. -
Are any of the writers from The Unusuals on the 24 writing team?
-
Even season 6 had a compelling first four hours. The only interesting thing that happened was Freckles cutting that dude's hand off. Hopefully it'll get better.
-
And she sucks as an actress.
-
there's been way worse.. but I kinda hate the fact that they're making Starbuck the new Kim. Old redneck boyfriend threatening to out her as a fellow redneck? oh no! what will she do?!? nobody cares. Please don't ruin her.
-
That always takes me right out of the story. And if it somehow connects to the larger assassination plot, it'll makes me even angrier.
-

They're really trying hard to make Cloe a femme fatale, eh?
by royston lodge
-
The last 2 seasons were SO disappointing and by-the-numbers that they actually drove me to stop watching by halfway. This year, however, is off to a good start. I just hope they get Katee involved in the ACTION!
-
...kill that shit with a hammer. We could be getting much more Tits McGee instead of that shit.

I fourth (of fifth? whatever) the call for less redneck retardat
by kaiser soze
Wackoff is hot as Chloe 2.0, but the secret redneckian past is laaaaame! Kill him off and let her pretend it never happened and all will be right with the world.
-
be the "surprise" death of the season? she's been so fucking annoying for far too many seasons. Killing Bill before her was a big mistake.
-
Am I the only one who can't stand Bubba Gump as the CTU head? I usually don't have a problem with Mykelti Williamson, but this character makes no sense. As bullheaded as he is, his refusal to even consider alternate possibilities, I want Renee or Jack to cut HIS arm off. I mean, how in the fuck did that incompetent dillhole get a job as head of CT-fucking-U? Seriously, dude's gotta go!
-
It's been okay but nothing special. Until Rack Attack cut off that guy's hand. I said goddamn!
-
that buba guy to say shrimp??
work it in somehow, fool. -
Look like she just awoke from 30 years in a swamp and AIDS critters are all crawling on and bouncing off of her. Her "I cannot believe I just shat a 23 pound turd" look on her face does not help.
-
...is his posture. Just watching him slouch like that in all his scenes makes my shoulders hurt.
-
Yep.
-
I don't understand how they could cast someone who slouches like that. I really hope its some sort of misguided character choice, because not only is that entirely incompetent, hes one of the even more annoying incompetent who secretly knows he sucks and openly tries to cover it up, instead of just being brazen and hardcore about being a cocksucker, and then on top of that he acts like hes walking around in a poorly excavated Batcave. CTU has three stories ceilings and giant televisions, LIFT YOUR FUCKING HEAD UP EEYORE!
Other than that, Renee Walker is the best thing to happen to 24 since Jack Bauer debuted. It's almost amazing how well she fits and how much 24 fans genuinely like her character. They actually wrote someone worth giving a shit about other than waiting around to see them die. Which hasn't happened, I don't think, since Edgar was introduced many seasons ago. All these new CTU people seem like they don't fit, and it also seems like they know it too. They know they are just filling boilerplate roles that literally anyeone could do. There is no characterization or purpose to them other than we needed another CTU crew and its a new city, so we need all new people. They are empty shells. And don't even get me started on Starbucks stupid boyfriend. Worst. Plot Thread. Ever. -
Is probably slouching because everyone on 24 is average actor height..around 5'7 or below so he would probably be out of frame most of the time.
-
Every time the new CTU director appears? "There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich."
-
Homeland would have sniffed the phony idnetity out probably after the first interview - and if not then, then when they went to interview friends and family and 'lo and behold - they didn't exist.
-
I'm glad someone else noticed it , my missus pointed it out to me. Is the actor (Bubba from Forrest Gump) overly tall or something ? Holy crap...watch him , in every scene he looks like a friggin hunchback, stooping his shoulders like he's trying to get under a particularly low doorway.
Katee Sackhoof looks smokin' btw. Just kill the goateed ex already.
Any 24 is good 24, so I'll be watching for the duration.
So glad freckles Bauer is back too. -
+ Jack's back... with a new sack!- Never really warmed to Starbuck and Katee's character ain't doing much for me so far with her lame stalker backstory.+ Rack Bauer returns and she's a little bit cwazy!- I don't exactly buy her infiltrating the Russians though and it doesn't quite fit into the timeline as far as i can see?+ Big Doug Hutchinson fan here! Loved him The X-Files, Lost, Punisher: Warzone, Give 'Em Hell Malone (Anyone else seen that? He's awesome as a baddie!)- Oh, Doug..... :(+ Freddie Prinze Jnr doesn't suck like i thought he would.- Freddie Prinze Jnr doesn't exactly fit in either. I see him and instantly think 'It's that douche Freddie Prinze Jnr' unlike Voight and even Hopper who somehow felt like part of '24'+ It's better than that sucky season with his dad and his brother (I can't even remember which season that was) so far- It's not been as memorable a start as some seasons+ No cougars so far!
t really care about Elvis Hassan and his family
-
..has actually pleasantly surprised me a little, though I think they might have gone out their way to make us like him with his save of Hassan and not letting Tooms make him his bitch. Although saying that, if it was Chase he wouldn't have just said "He's with me" and waited to get a bullet in the dome, he would've ruined that ruski's shit up and down the place. Who would've thought way back at the start of s3 that we'd one day be wishing a character was MORE like Chase?
-
He really didn't die when Jack shot him in the head, Jack only thought he did. But now he's back, he's grown a soul patch, and he's gonna make Jack's life hell for shooting him! Yeah, that's it!
-
guess I should have added a spoiler warning to that Curtis info...my bad
-
I look at FPJ's character like when Ricky Schroeder was on the show. When I heard RS was going to be on 24, all I could think of was "that kid from Silver Spoons?" But he turned out okay, and I think FPJ will, too. If not, I'm sure they can bring in Punky Brewster as a CTU agent. I doubt Soleil Moon Frye is up to anything.
-
where did you receive your info from? a certain site maybe or just a friend if you dont mind tellin me
-
Booger from Revenge of the Nerds? Really? That'd be awesome. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0035664/
-
I vote for Lamar as the baddie. Manlove terrorism! Hetroxexual acts can only happen for means of procreation. Some serious shit is on its way to Jack/Rack for their very steamy yet brutal sexual tension.
-
for the first time in a while, but the whole Jenny redneck plot might be worse than kim and the cougar.
-
Is it just me, or does that dude have the most featureless face going ?
I've seen turds emote better than him. -
Is that her big secret? Or is this going to be "random fuckhead someone convoluted involves their crackhead capering into a serious national security problem". Anyway the last 5 minutes of last week's ep with Freckles was uber-ultra-win. More sexiness and limb severing. I'm totally down with that.
-
Pretty bummed about that.
Maybe Katee Jackmehoff and Bauer's daughter will have to wrestle in the rain at some point to make me happy again.
I reckon the Russian's radioactive son, locked in the fridge is the mole.
PS. Jack DID get a new sack. This time its leathery :-) -
First image is what I'm talking about with old Freddie no-face
http://thejacksack.com/ -
but this season of 24 is kinda booooooring so far...
-
So random and bizarro, and was one fucking scene right before a commercial break after which we never saw the cougar again. Don't even compare dumb plotlines like redneck stalker, Drischoll's crazy daughter, or sexual harrassment ctu lady.
-
Litter coming soon.
-
All suck dick..seriously you guys could ruin a wet dream. Heres to all of you dropping dead.
-
And I'll usually defend 24 to the death.But the first 4 eps didn't really give me the buzz that I have felt in the past (apart from the moment where Jack killed some cunt with an axe!), it just seems like another retread with only the change in location spicing things up.ANOTHER NUKE?! Seriously?zzzzzzzzzzzz.......
-
well he does.
-
Yeah, calling people dicks is totally the way to prove youse are not in fact a dick yourself.
-
Jan 25, 2010 7:04:31 PM CST
Amazing Maurice - what counter terrorism idea would be fresh?
by jimbojones123
Kidnapping the prez? Dirty bomb? Virus? A bus of people? Believ it or not, a nuke is totally a valid threat. Scares the JEBUS out of me.
-
Use that shock that you are in to GRAB THE SAW WITH THE OTHER HAND. Much better writing.
-
Or Edgar's mother in the fallout zone!
-
And staring endlessly trying to figure out what is going on.
-
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE 24. I love it so much, it's one of the few shows I go out of my way to try and get others to watch.But since you asked, here's MY idea for a season of 24:The writers are not afraid of borrowing ideas from other movies, so why not rip-off the plot of Die Hard: With a Vengeance?Have some terrorist nut target Jack specifically, making him go certain places, do certain things - or people will die.A deadly game of 'Simon Says'It would suit the format of the show really well: having Jack out in the field doing all kinds of crazy shit to stay one step ahead, with the threat constantly changing making sense (rather than the half-arsed way in which 24 seems to do every few episodes), giving him an uber-nemisis and letting all the usual CTU/White House stuff unfold in the background.Fuck man, I've had too much wine.
-
The dude is so bland that I really can't be bothered to dislike him. He's what you call inoffensive.
-
They did that already.. It was called season one.
-
Season one had a tame pussy family-man Jack Bauer in it.I want to see that shit done BIG with the crazy-assed Super Jack we've come to know and love =)
-
THE MOLE. No matter what the threat, there must be a mole.
-
I haven't seen it in about 7 years or so (I came to 24 in S2). Wasn't Jack playing chess with..was it Kim? I thought Kim was out with her friend. Maybe she snuck out with her friend later in the episode to meet the two bad boys. Anyway, it reminded we very much of the first scene with Jack in this one where he was playing with his grandchild. Perhaps this is the final season like we've always been led to believe, and they are going full-circle.
-
Is it any surprise there's so many moles?How the fuck did Starbuck manage to get a job as a high ranking Data Analyst for one of the most sensitive security branches of the U.S. goverment after being a trailer-trash whore who simply changed her name?What. The. Fuck?Don't they at least screen the applicants?Have they learned fuck all?Man, I could probably get a job at CTU. =/
-
...LOL
-
Duke Leto sports a servicable Russian accent!
-
... I never saw such a fairy hairstyle on a middle eastern before!
-
The 80's called.They want their hairspray back.
-
Why does everyone at CTU have family issues... this is wworse than Kim with courgar...at least they tried to be original...didn't we see this before when Samwise was head of CTU & his sister had drug problem ...atleast that served the plot b/c it was to steal his idea badge. Sackoff subplot is ruining this season already!
-
seriously, there are people out there who thinks she's anything BUT fugly??!? and from the first day she was ever on the show, I wanted her to DIE. But no, they've kept her on for years now, getting more annoying with every episode.
-
Sorry, I mean fucking boring.
-
Where a season would deal with a relative of someone Jack took out who's strictly out for revenge against Jack, not the US or world. They could play with the idea of how far the govt. and those Jack has risked his neck for would be willing to go to help/save him. For Jack to have to deal with the problem on his own, at least at first, and to be a bit of an outsider. Could be good. And Jeremy Irons could be the evil relative with blond hair and a stu-stu-stutter.
-
Ughhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
-
This is too much after all these years. Game over.
-
Lets make it so! XD
-
Nope. You fucked it up, Jack.
-
season that I can't watch past the first few episodes. I'm giving this three more episodes, maybe two if the next two are as bad as this one. Dammit.
-
This year was supposed to new & exciting ....while the first 2 hrs were ...2nd 2 hrs were ok .... this week was awful.....
-
...you can tell they aren't in NYC. Heck they could do stuff ala L&O or Cold Case whre they use the actual characters in some street scenes then evrything inside is studio....but Friends looked more like NYC than this show.
-
Just that chick in the computer room.. Katie Sackheroff whatever .. get her out of that show! Kill her or something. So stupid. And Jack Sack has yet to show any Sack!
-
Or does everyone look fucking UGLY in High Def.Welcome to the future.
-
...tony as the villian or Jack's partner in S3 who got his arm hacked off!
-
I used to live and die for this show, but even I of all people can see that it's getting to be a lot like Bewitched was back in the 60s......the same damn thing year after year......I said this on here three years ago, and I will say it again.....WHY DOES 24 EVEN NEED A PRESIDENT INVOLVED IN THE PLOTLINES? WHY DOES EVERY THREAT HAVE TO INVOLVE A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION??? WHY CAN'T WE HAVE ANOTHER SEASON LIKE ONE, WHICH DIDN'T EMPLOY THE FORMULA???.....Just end the show this season.....let it die with some shred of dignity!!!
-
Anil Kapoor's Hair
-
and I didn't think the redneck storyline could get any worse and then his friend showed up on the couch out of nowhere! Classic!
-
How about this: Sackhoff calls the police, pretends to be neighbour and says that someone broke into her apartment. The cops come and bust those guys. Problem solved. if her fake ID can get past government security clearance, she should be able brush off any claims the redneck makes to his arresting officer.
-
is going with this show. is renee a godamed costar now. jack sat in the fucking car for 45 min of this episode. and next week looks the fucking same. she does all the work and hes in the background. and the subplots are retarted. i kinda like the president and hassan dynamic and even the russians are cool but the dana walsch/ redneck shit have gotta go.
-
All this talk of beatings and possible rape, yet it happened years before this season, back when she was presumably the happy-go-lucky ex-cheerleader that we saw in the last Season. Makes no sense. Had it happened since then, fair enough, but it didn't. NYC location is being offensively squandered. Then again, Queens probably looks like any other city in America. NYC is really all about Manhattan, especially when it comes to film.
-
Manhattan is the "big city" I agree, but you get a lot of NYC flavor in Brooklyn and even some parts of Queens. But this shit was 99% shot on a soundstage and in LA/Vancouver.
-
I mean come on.... there are scene on bridges, skrscapers, harbors, tourist places ...plus I though the coolest idea about NYc is that b/c of sheer density of population ...getting from place to place would impossible in quick time frames leaving jackl top use other means which is usually highlight of show. I will leave you with one scene idea...imagine a landmark...brooklyn bridge, grand central station ...heck even Macy's ...locked down. Jack know informant or person he needs is there & search to try & find him ....thats an hr maybe two right there! they are wasting this season
-
He is working for CIA but CTU has been in asked to find & locate him. Jack has gone dark & is working on the bad side .... but does not know that he or why he is being hunted. They can't go bpublic b/c they don;t panic or don't want to admit CIA involvement. Heck half the season he is always knocking out CTU agents anyway or dispobeyiong orders ... this could also introduce a new CTU agent like Jack...maybe does things different but good ...he can take over series.
-
But Brooklyn really isn't that recognizable if you haven't lived there, or at least haven't seen the later SITC episodes. It's a lot of Brownstones, which are lovely but could be anywhere (including parts of Manhattan like the UWS). 24 NYC needs to be set around places like Grand Central Station. Christ, I walked through that place every day for 8 years and it never ceased to give me a thrill. CrazyCurt is 100% correct - a lock-down episode there would resonate so much, possibly more so than the White House scene in the last season simply because so many people have been there.
-
Which is disgraceful. Much lower budget shows shoot there, why can't 24 pull the stops out?
-
Maybe its because i took two years off from 24 after season 5, that im really appreciating this year. Renee is awsome, and jack is good. chloes chloe, And FPJ wins the award for actor who should be annoying but isnt at all.I love Katee to death and i dont mind her storyline but i can see where others hate it. I like this year, bring it on!
-
I'm guessing you're from the NYC area, like me. Well, after the way they made DC look like Anywheresville, USA last season, my hopes for them pulling off an authentic NYC locale were greatly diminished. And my hopes were completely dashed once I learned they weren't doing any serious locaiton work here. It is a result of a lack of imagination, though, not money. I'm disappointed in that aspect of the season, but let's hope the story picks up steam (and dumps Sackhoff's subplot fast).
-
Limited number of entry-ways into the building, but plenty of room for snipers, both on the ground, and from the windows up on the level reserved for cars Also tunnels to escape out onto 49t street, right next to the Waldorf. Hell, right next to there you have St. Barts, possibly one of the most cinematic churches in NYC (and where they filled a big scene from "SALT" when I was there back in the summer). The possibilities are endless...have the climactic shoot-out take place amongst the tapestries in the medieval-esque Cloisters on the northern tip of Manhattan if you really want to. But then end if all in one of the toxic dumps in New Jersey...
-
Chillin with the opossum in the bathtub of the House promo.

This season makes none.

I mean they fucking shot a worthless 2 hr movie in AFRICA
by yackbacker
And they couldn't afford some decent location work in NYC? Bullshit.
-
Oh, of course, juvie records are sealed. That explains everything. I also don't get the love for Sackhoff. She's not remotely attractive and her party-frock doesn't help things.
-
Jan 25, 2010 10:13:41 PM CST
chimp, Sackhoff is the girl you banged at a college party
by yackbacker
You never tell your friends about it and secretly you want to go back for more, despite your nausea.
-
Maybe next week the redneck boyfriend can invite his mom and underage sister to come live with him and Starbuck, the week after the redneck's friend can hook up with the underage sis, and it can culminate with 24's first ever double wedding episode! Hell, there can be two brides and three grooms just to ramp up the tension a little. Starbuck, FPJ, and the Redneck can spin off into a new "Three's Company" reboot.
-
...have you noticed how red his neck is? I mean it's almost too red, like to the exclusion of any shading or even a hint of some other color. That neck is red, and it is no other thing. And I know about Red. I'm Red Ned Lynch.
-
Once you get away from the Mall, DC really isn't that distinguished. Jack obviously never got onto the Beltway at any point though - that would be some boring television.
-
Weapons Grade Uranium? That would explain everything....or maybe he just shaved for the first time in a decade.
-
And while it's not nearly as distinct as NYC, whatever they put out there last season was not really close to capturing the real look & feel of the area.
-
Just passed Titanic
-
...Redknuckles was hipped to where Starbuck worked by someone who knew her past and wants to blackmail her into doing some Big Bad Thing(tm). Her past indiscretion wouldn't be enough, on its own, to make her betray her country, but after she steals the money they have her. Oh, they'll probably kill Redknuckles (man that neck is red) in a way that will let them frame Starbuck for that, too. Probably that faux Redneck Friend. Wonder what kind of accent he'll have?
-
I probably need to go back and revisit the season, but other than the Capitol and other landmark shots, I don't know what there was to really recognize. The bad guys probably weren't hanging out in Cleveland Park, and I'll be the first to admit that my knowledge of Anacostia is not the best, which is probably where it was shot. Point it this - which we are both agreed on - it's just lazy CHEAP filmmaking, when it doesn't need to be.
-
He's only 41? I thought he was in his 50-60s at this point.

A black male Jeanette Krankie in some ways...and she's definitely in her 60s.

Maybe the show is saving what they filmed in NYC for later on...
by thanos0145
So far it doesn't look like they actually filmed in NYC.I hope this season picks up because the storyline so far is boring. Freckles Bauer and Jack Bauer are the only two good things so far. (What a waste of Katee Sackhoff and that dumb subplot.) I hope Jack ruthlessly takes out that Russian guy for smacking around Freckles Bauer.
-
Plus, last week's ep concluded with a rare episode-ending "Dammit".
-
The ep was actually pretty decent besides that awful Dana Walsh shit. It really, really needs to go. Everything else was pretty good, I thought. Renee continues to
be badass. -
He just got out of prison. Usually excons are on parole and can't leave the state without violating their parole. All she had to do is anonymously make a call to the local police and tell them their guy is out of state and they could have had the NYPD pick him before he moved into her house. As a federal agent she would know this. So yeah this is a dumb subplot for that reason alone.
-
..after watching every one avidly before it, but it got to the point where I'd be watching it and then have the thought: "I'm watching it, but I ain't loving it.." and started to feel like I was watching out of some form of obligation, like I'd already put so much time in the front end I had to stay no matter what. The clincher was that stoopid bag of shit Garafalo, I swore I'd never watch her in anything and i stuck to it and ignored the whole season. Now this year rolls around and I kinda got in the mood for some good gun action, I bought a spanking new Springfield XDm 40 and have had polymers on the brain so I tuned in. My wife watched all last season and complained bitterly what a push-over the president was and I have already seen some of that, Freddie Prinze Jr. looks pastey and very much like a bargain basement Keanu Reeves (sorry Freddie), it's just okay over all. I don't think the show has the ability to be as gripping as it once was, it delivers what it delivers, like Hungry Howie's if you're in the mood you know what you're gonna get but it doesn't improve one bit over time. As for Chloe, I saw her on some talk show a week ago or so, she's got a tight, kickin' body, she's really quite funny off the cuff, very strange delivery but good, I'm down with it, i like what she's got going on. Felt bad for her when Jack dissed her: "You asked me to do some crazy things..." heh-heh, yeah he did. Yeah he did.
-
Does anyone else hate Chloe? Dear God, that woman would be the worst actor on The Real World, much less on 24. The actress is great in interviews, but all she does on 24 is scowl.
Anyone else notice the Redneck was on Burn Notice this past week? I'm pretty tired of this storyline. Starbuck should have called the cops or used her secret agent boyfriend to put the fear of God in him after the second time he called.
So, Omar & Dalia Hassan named their daughter KAYLA? Yeah, I'm not seeing it. -
i think im done. ive enjoyed 24 up until now. never really bagged it....
but fuck this is boring.
lucky i downloaded it. i skipped through it. saw it all in 9 minutes.
they only way they woulda kept me is if he had shot carrot top in the head. that woulda been brutal.
but basically they fucked up.
least jack didnt threaten to call the president this week.
-
With hair like that, Peter Jurasik could have played his advisor, Londo! Maybe we'll see Jumpgate technology later this season.
-
....you probably post your moaning here and then go straight to Renee's twitter and tell her how fantastic she was and how much you are enjoying the show. or is the world divided into two groups. One group who love it and one group who hate it? Hmmm?
We all know complaining and bitching is obligatory on here o heres my effor for the day:
Anils hair disturbs me
Yeah its all ive got :/ -
Its been done, its called season 1 wth. Jack being involved in a 'Simon says' malarchy? Yup, season 1. Jack being expressly targetted by people he has wronged in the past? Victor Drazen and that whole subplot. Yup. Season 1. Has it really been that long ago that people completely forgot the particulars of the very first season?
-
This is some mediocre shit. Like 5 sub plots are going on and Jack has nothing to do with them. My wife summed it up in an email that I will share with you:
"I know you like Katee and all, but that shtuff is boring. Blah, blah, manipulation. Blah, blah, Eastern Promises, Blah blah, Chloe hates working for CTU because Hastings is a dumb doodoo head, blah blah,
wait? Where's Jack?
Oh, tooling around looking for a Starbucks, Dammit!"
-
The producers said that 9/11 changed the show forever (and Season One was mostly done before 9/11 happened). Ever since, we have had weapons of mass destruction storylines EVERY season.......I know the producers of the show read this talkback....they said as much on DVD commentaries......if you are reading this producers, then I hope take these complaints into account.......unless you just want to keep phoning it in :(.......I wonder what this show COULD HAVE BEEN LIKE had 9/11 never happened!!!!
-
That's what the President's daughter reminds me of.
-
She is the only reason I'm still watching. This show is becoming absurd... So much so it's almost like a parody of itself.
-
I'm waiting for a couple of Airplanes to come in to view and knock that big thing down.
Dammit that's some high hair. -
Season 3 Jack in Mexico? What is his problem?
-
Sackoff storyline is a joke. Soap Opera nonsense. Psycho Renee is laughable. President and big hair Arab guy is just boring. Russians again? Where's Dennis Hopper?
-
between 24, Heroes and 2 1/2 Men.
-
Or Starbuck should just kill his ass and dumb him in a dumpster somewhere. Do you really think the NYPD would give a fuck about a piece-of-shit ex-con found dead in a Bronx alley?Besides the Starbuck bullshit, I am enjoying where they are going so far. Although, we better not have too many more episodes of Jack just chilling in the car.
-
The first time he made a sexual comment? This is a government agency and they have to pass tests on sexual harrasment. Maybe it will get evened out at the end when CTU gets invaded for the umpteenth time and he gets gang raped by the terrorists
-
Because I am enjoying this season so far. Yea like everyone else I think Starbuck's sub plot is garbage, I find myself hoping it will tie into the main story somehow, at least it's a reason to have it, but if it is just filler, it's just garbage. Apart from that, like the story, like Renee in insane-suicide mode. Cant wait to see Hastings get the shaft, he is not competent as a CTU director, wonder who's dick he sucked to get that job. Also nice to see Jurgen Prochnow, he is always a good baddie.
-
than what we have seen so far.
Needs much more Jack and maybe it needs to get back to Season 1 style, ala Die Hard -

can't take Anil Kapoor serious when we get a full head shot
by miyamoto_musashi
need more of those shots where they cut off most of the hair
-
...should just tattle on Redneck. The fuck? I know it's a boring as shit subplot so far, but are you all so fucking tuned out that you can't use your brains to see that if she squealed then the truth about her false identity would be revealed, which is EXACTLY THE THING HE IS HOLDING OVER HER. You morons. Anyway, aside from all that, we're already onto filler eps? Damn, that sucks. Why did the writers think they could pull this shit with turning Rack Bauer into some former badass undercover agent rapeski victim? In Day 7 she was as normal as shit until the aura of Jack fucked her up forever, now they want to make out she was always some tortured soul on the edge?
-
Kiefer likes to quid pro quo Canadian actors so much I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one of the cast on 24.
-
WTF?
-
Good: Jack's not dead, Kim grows a brain, the axe, Renee still looks hot
Bad: Starbuck's stalker, hunchback Hastings, Renee becoming a zombie
Ugly: Lack of originality- Another even-numbered season featuring Muslims and nukes. Another government official having an affair witha reporter. Another Russian guy getting dismembered to defeat an electronic tracking device. Another woman-has-to-put-out-in-order-to-maintain-cover scenario. Brannon Braga still working on the show. -
If he has leftthe TB then 24 is finished thats for sure.
-
Rennie is and will always be Billy fuckin Talent to me. Fictional Canadian punk bands rule all.
-
...it will play out trust me. Im not saying that there isnt a little filler in there because there is always a little filler when it comes to 24. Its been part of the formula since season 1. My source is 100%, not even 99% but I dont come on here to dish out all the info I come into contact with. In fact I dont post here a great deal. I do like a little 24 talkback fun though, now where is BlackJackBauer and his 'alternative' style episode review??
-
this has been really awful so far, cringeworthy... so much squandered possibility. concern troll Jack needs to go punch a fashion designer and get his mojo back. hillbilly in the city is just beyond lame. euthanasia please.
-
I'm tired of tossing over Chloe.
-
I'd love to see Sackoff go back to playing Starbuck for one scene, walk into her apt and put a bullet through the redneck's melon. End of problem, end of wasted storyline.
