‘Look In My Eyes!!’ Stephen Root Joins 24!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
“24” hit a new season low in the 18-49 demo last Monday despite the disappearance of the Olympics.
Monday 18-49 finals (prior Mondays in parentheses; repeats in gray):
2.5 (2.8) (2.8) (3.3) (3.1) (3.4) (3.5) (3.9)
That trend will likely reverse itself tonight, though, owing to lead-in “House” returning to new episodes.
Last week two CTU agents sank bloody hillbillies to the bottom of a swamp while other CTU agents used the corpse of Hassan’s baby bro to find a new trail to the terrorists.
Fox says of tonight’s installment:
The clock races into the middle of the night when the threat of a devastating nuclear attack accelerates as Jack tracks an informed terror suspect who has an explosive strategy. Back at CTU, a key player grapples with being demoted, and the day takes an unexpected stressful turn when pesky parole officer Bill Prady enters the picture. Guest Cast: Stephen Root as Bill Prady; Necar Zadegan as Dalia Hassan; Nazneen Contractor as Kayla Hassan; Mido Hamada as Samir; Ethan Rains as Ali; Rami Malek as Marcos Al-Zacar; Mare Winningham as Elaine Al-Zacar; Julian Morris as CTU Agent Owens; T.J. Ramini as Tarin Forush; Hrach Titizian As Nabeel; Matt Yang Kin as CTU Agent King
9 p.m. Monday. Fox.

for the death projection if the terrorists attack the city". how exciting.

Season 1= Political Assassination
Season 2= Nuclear Bomb
Season 3= Biological Weapon/Virus
Season 4= Nuclear Power Stations/Nuclear Football
Season 5= Sentox Nerve Gas/Robocop
Season 6= Nuclear Bomb
Season 7= Crashing Planes/Bio Weapon/Zombie
Season 8= Nuclear Fuel Rods.
A definite pattern. -
THis is the lamest season yet. JAck as a grandpa? Too much CTU time, not enough random torture and mayhem. A CTU agent being set up by hillbilly meth heads? Please!
-
Milton aka Jimmy James is on this week? That means I'll have to watch. I was gonna quit last season if they didn't pull it off, but they did after the horrible one before. This season has sunk back into the depths, if not quite as low as S6.
-
Coz im getting bored now. I knew from the first trailers that the show looked 'different' this season. I didnt expect it to bore me though.
There were so may ways they could have broken the mould with the final season and really shook it all up. Instead they followed the same tried and tested plot devices.
Now im finding that each week plods along and then *bang* its over for another week and the plot hasnt really progressed. -
*fucking* good to rescue the utter turd it has become.
I'm talking Jack, Rack, SoulPatch, Pierce and Zombie Palmer taking on fucking Cyborg Logan. That I would like to see. -
Looks like that shit's going to continue, sans the idiot rednecks. UGGGHH.
-
Nothing else. Jack sat there listening to whatshername with the russian letch! (Btw, she has to die horribly to give Jack his balls back)That speaks volumes for bankruptcy of the writers.Braga's the kiss of death - get someone who doesn't rely on stretching out format til it breaks (not jumping the shark - skiing straight into it's damn mouth, getting chewed up and spat out cos you taste like crap.And the 'Jack wants to quit' card got played out a couple seasons back - now the guy is just a bore! Probably the final season thanks to Braga, but it still has plenty of legs if they get a show runner with balls like Bauer.
-
Somebody burned down Initech because of a stolen stapler. Somebody put strychnine in the guacamole at a Mexican resort. Bauer v. Waddams!
-
How can they reinvigorate it?Format points , like CTU: can they do a series without CTU ? OR:24 is always about defending from an attack -- how about the Jack starting ON the attack? Make a season about a mission (rescue/infiltration/undercover/sabotage) within a criminal/political/terrorist organization?How about a high profile religious cult (like scientology) with a political/terrorist agenda to organize a in another country (like the UK - or Iceland, since they're financially vulnerable right now).
-
That Stephen Root is tied to the sheerfuckingawful that is the Dana storyline. Everytime this show gets one thing right this year, it gets 10 other things wrong. I don't give a fuck about anything that's going on. Who has the rods again? Where did we leave off? Some kid has himself locked in conveniently placed isolation chamber of some kind with a bomb, right? WHY DO I FUCKING CARE?!?!?
-
Oh man, how cool would it be to see a mission initiated by the good guys...you're so right. I've always wanted to see what something like "Operation Nightfall" would look like. Half the season could follow Jack and a team completing a mission, then the second half shows the fallout from the mission and maybe has the enemy respond with action themselves.
Simply have CIA ask for Jack/CTU's help on a mission due to past association with the targets, something like that. Jack acts all superior (I miss the Bauer swagger) and demands to run the operation, because they "have no idea who they're dealing with, DAMMIT!"
Remember when they called Jack back after losing Terri and he killed an informant and chopped his head off because he wanted to. That was awesome. I love his change of character over the years, good moral dilemmas and regret from past decisions, but I did enjoy when Jack would break a guy's arm in the blink of an eye to get himself deeper under cover.
The "German arms dealer" was Jack's weakest attempt at cover yet! Hilarious, but he probably knew the Russians were dumb and he didn't need to put much effort on that. Just wore some glasses for the Clark Kent disguise so nobody recognized him from things like the Congressional Hearings and, I dunno, major headlines like taking down a corrupt President! Hahaha! -
Its nice that they aren't trying to out-do each episode with something even more crazy and far-fetched. This season it feels like they are letting the tension build instead of jumping right into the action. However, the downside to this is that sometimes the pacing is a little too slow, and some of the side stories are completely annoying.
-
Jack did nearly choke that woman from the justice department, that was up to his usual standards.
-
I agree they are deliberately keeping the pacing slow and building, season 6 was a real ccase in point of just trying to outdo each episode with bigger explosions and dumber twists.
Lets just hope what they are building to is really worth it. I cannot wait to see Logan return! -
Cheers- yep, it would be nice to see them switch the format, but i think Brennan Braga like to play safe - that's how he lets his shows run out of steam.Yeah, be good to have the 'good guys' initiate the mission, but what if, on that mission, he's actually a 'bad gut'. He finds it's a 'false flag' kind of thing --- or, he finds the U.S. intel is wrong (as usual) and the targets need to be saved. I'd involve both those ideas together.Either way, Jack has to fight against his own side. Not the first time, but a new spin on it.
-
There's plenty of blame to go around. How did Kiefer Sutherland think this was a good storyline? Then again, if all he saw was a storyline and not an actual script, he probably figured the Dana/Cole Ortiz storyline would have some well-written dialogue and likable actors. I still think they should have just gone with just 16 hours. No vigilante cop, no silly cover-up of the Duke boys (they could stay), no cliched Iranian family drama, no President threatening invasion, no adulterous liaison, no MRI room showdown. I had wondered if they had combined the two Matrix sequels like the original plan and made the villains and action more interesting, if it would have been a good movie. I don't think that would have saved Kill Bill.
-
Where is the non-action?
Where are the twists?
Where are the good characters?
The problem is that they seem to have dropped the BIG storylines in favour of mini-stories that get resolved within a few weeks at the most. Thus there no sense of jeopardy, no "crescendo", things don't get messier and messier and the tention doesn't rise from episode to episode.
It's a bit of a formula now: oh, there's a bad guy, bad guy gets caught or kill... but there's another one... And so on...
It's getting a bit tired. -
"Well, ok, but, I'm gonna set the building on fire."
-
I hope they kill everyone except Chloe.
-
...almost made me stop. Putting the corpse in the only hospital room in America with windows someone could jump out of, not tackling or tasing the kid once his bomb was inoperative, not covering the window, not being able to win a footrace with a kis who fell a couple three stories onto blacktop and every step of it topped by the shit-filled stinkberry of there not just being an impenetrable isolation tank just waiting around for the kid to jump into but also...inside a hospital, no less...one that could be successfully sealed shut from the inside. Seriously, this has got to get better. I keep intentionally low standards for 24 but there's some stuff you just can't hum loud enough to ignore.
-
and I followed it all easily enough. That's sad, that a show like this might as well be a fucking podcast.
-
Jack Bauer leads the human resistance against the alien invaders.
-
I have been a fan ever since 24 premiered. Love it. There have been some outstanding seasons, with the first being the best, and there have been some average ones; still, those 'average' ones have always had some exciting episodes.
This season? Seriously, what happened? The premier was great. Even the talkback seemed to love it. Jack Axe to the chest! Just good stuff. After that? Downhill, rapidly.
Someone above posted that there was en entire episode where Jack sat in a car. That pretty much nails it. He really did just SIT IN A CAR for an entire episode. It's outrageous.
The primary issue, at least to me, is the fact that, for reasons unknown, there are too many plots going on. Go back and watch the earlier seasons, sure there were little things here and there, but it was more or less one plotline, MAYBE two, going through the season. This is just going beyond all bounds of good taste. They have given up on the "events occur in real time." Not even close. Watch season one, and they really do their best to show the real time aspect of the program. This is almost laughable how bad it is. When Jack is patching the informant up in an earlier episode, they cut away to, I don't know, every other plot line, and they came back, and he was still patching him up. Real time? Not really.
This season is just boring, completely absurd (more than normal), and while I, too, lower my realism radar with 24, this has reached a level that defies any type of television logic.
If there is another season, they need to make it smaller, go back to season one. We don't need super duper epic dirty bombs, nuclear explosions, etc. Maybe just Jack protecting someone important. Bring back the REAL time element to the show. Bring back the split screens that made the earlier seasons so cool, and just trash all the subplots that keep popping up left and right. The CTU technicians and computer experts do not need plots of their own. Focus on Jack and his mission. Another poster above commented that maybe show Jack *ON* the attack. That might be pretty cool, too. Instead of him getting dragged into something, have the first episode begin with him being assigned to something (rescue, assassination, whatever). Might be cool.
-
...And he sat there some more....That's not story rhythm, or building tension within the character by keeping him locked out of the action, that's just, incompetent, lazy writing. I think this season's script meets have lots of yes men telling each other it's great...thinking it's shit.Sub-plots need to work a lot harder to get the shows rhythm back; they always had trouble with dodgy sub-plots (usually involving Kim, but what a way this is to waste the excellent Katee Sackhoff - it's not a sub-plot, it's just some dull soap opera that happens to be going on in the same city.Replace Brannan (kiss of death) Braga with Ronald D. Moore!
-
They've totally fucked up the Jack/Renee romance angle. Nothing screams sexual tension like explaining over a fucking cellphone basically "Uh, yeah, I like meant that I LIKE you like you and stuff. You know?" Horrible dramatic decision.
-
because it's a chore to watch this season.
-
I am blaming him for global warming, the war in Iraq,Al-Qaeda and the snub of Farrah and Bea in last nights Oscars memoriam
-
Hey, lets be fair - Braga had nothing to do with the Oscar snub....
-
I couldn't get over how bad she looked last week. It was thrown into even sharper relief last night at the Oscars when Demi Moore came on to present.
-
Oh for sure, great chop the the throat! Jack's the best, but I was talking about his efforts to go under cover. Supplying the head of that informant was a way to prove he was serious to...I want to say the Salazar's, is that right?
Glad I got to the discussion early today! I'm always the last one to the party with one of the last posts each week and everybody has moved on! I guess that's my fault waiting till Wednesday, but hey...it takes a while to read everybody's comments when I'm supposed to be working! ;) -
Head hacksawed off was in season 2.
-
Red Ned Lynch> Agreed, last week's ep was really horrible. And the hospital scene (that you described perfectly) was actually painful. Not sure I've said there has been a "bad" ep of 24 before...honestly. But that was bad. I wrote last week that maybe all we're missing this season is some fun. Some George Mason sarcasm or Soul Patch scepticism would be nice. Last week was frustrating because it seemed the previous few weeks had the Jack Bauer Express really starting to change gears and pick up speed.
YackBacker> LMAO rooting for the terrorists! And Chloe would be the last to survive on earth, like the cock-ah-roach. She'd be alone in the post-apocalyptic world with that scowl on her face that would slowly blossom into her first smile as she realizes she doesn't have to deal with stupid people anymore.
C'mon 24, back on track tonight please! I'm one of those "weirdo's" that enjoyed Day 6, so if I didn't like an episode that's not good! -
Jack Bauer after everything he's gone thru.
-
You don't come out the other side looking like Bigelow after that.
-
but, but, but...
-
What the fuck are these--old promos for the '60s Batman show with Adam West--Jesus Christ, rhis really sucks with the escape velocity of a black hole.
-
Maybe I missed something until this talk-back but who in hell let the co-destroyer (along with Rick Berman) of the "Star Trek" franchise as we once knew it near this show?? When? Who? HOW? I am dumbfounded this man is even working in the industry anymore.
-
And Tom Servo and Crow can't make this show good anymore.
-
I GOT AN EAST COAST FEED BITCHES!
-
these arent the rods were looking for. the prince of persia doesnt have em anymore niggas
-
HAHAH wtf how does he has perfectly structured bomb schematics on the wall in 2 minutes??? this kid is a rainman habib
hahaha agent timberlake has a SOFT faggy whisper voice. like a simba jack bauer whisper flow. HAHA bauer in training. -
I found it incredibly stupid that a guy who jumped out a window, and by the looks of it, twisted his ankle and damged his arm was still able to out limp Jack and some Special Forces guys, use his damaged arm to close a heavy isolation chamber door, AND wedge it shut.
Next season properly frame Jack, for a HUGE terrorist crime, have him on the run, killing leads (as usual) to find out who framed him keep it up for entire season... maybe have Jack break Tony out of Jail cos he has info on the frame up. FInd out its the President who framed him and have Jack shoot the President before clearing his name. -
their clothes were just fucking soaking wet not 10 minutes ago. did they have a wardrobe change or what?
WTF @ these extreme close ups of the fresh prinze. pale ass fucker. -
Or frame him as a mole.
-
look at this shit, looks like a commercial PSA "u dont want to do this, give to the IRK!
-
typical internet interactions. jordan farmar can talk shit to bauer over a screen, but let him try this shit in person. anyway bauer is a shitty negotiator. remember a few seasons ago when he was suposed to talk that white dude down from teh stealth bomber? he mentioned his sister and dude just went OFF and shot down air force one. ahaha kevin spacey he is not.
-
when this scene FIRST starts, HAHA@the slight beads of sweat on Robbins forehead, but LMAO@ the amazing amount of wetness on slumdog princess right arm. the nigga took the jewel of the nile's coochie over and over again and left his persian stank all over her. i bet that room reeks of wet goat.
-
Can't they just drop this damn plot already?? It's pretty much ruined the season. What a waste of Sackhoff.
-
at this point, this nigga's Gump's blackness is annoying the shit out of me.
HAHA now we got fake ass Harvey Keitel aka Daddy Duke chasing down the Deaz Bros. CLASSIC. more dirty white trash to deal with. probation officer my ass!
-
this shit is annoying as fuck, how hard is it to put your sleeve to your nose and wipe away blood? caked on blood is NOT the business.

Totally agree, she's stroke-worthy. No topless pics of her anywhere, right? Has anyone checked?

HAHAHAHAH THIS IS AMAZING I STAND CORRECTED
BAUER TOOK THE INTERNET ON AND WON
JORDAN FARMAR U BITCH! STOP MOANING AND PUSH THE BUTTON! got dammit i hope the lakers trade your ass this summer, you worthless half breed.
-
Ka-pow.
-
honestly probably too close. like, some did the buzzer sound before he got the shot off type shit. the refs gotta review that shit, cuz im thinking bauer should be all kinds of dead right now.
-
I WILL BE PISSED
-
The "twist that will change everything" and Mykelti Williamson yelling for security has me thinking it'll be the old "mole in CTU" trick. My guess is Milo.

Christ she's aged badly.

TELL YOUR OL' UNCLE YIMMY ALL ABOUT IT!

I don't know why people are hating on this season, aside from the stupid redneck bullshit, I have enjoyed this season thus far. It's got the trademark 24 tension and the story is moving along nicely. Some people are just never fucking happy. Oh well, let the haters live in their miserable little worlds, I am enjoying myself. I am going to guess someone is going to come in and say how they have predicted everything so far (bullshit) and that's why it sucks...whatever.
-
next week marks the halfway point and the previews look awesome...will the season finally be turning around?
-
Was leaked not long ago. I found this episode to be a bit emotional and thought-provoking in some spots, but mostly scenes that were necessary to the story but not interesting. Next week should be fun. The look on Jack's face as he walked to the hospital room was one we had not seen in awhile.
-
Yeah and if you're resourceful someone pretty much spoiled in last week's preview talkback about halfway in. What really irks me is that if this spoil ends up as planned this would just drive this show into the ground with finality.
Every year it's the same.....jack up the interest by thinning the herd.
It got old 3 seasons ago..... -
So if someone supposedly leaked the twist in last week's talkback, please repost it here since this website sucks and it's too damn hard to find last week's thread via the search engine.
-
Another boring episode of Bollywood 24. Who was the genious who thought it was a good idea to give the keys of this show to Brannon Braga?The only reason I'm tuning in the rest of the season is to watch Freckles (but, if the "twist" involves Freckles becoming bad, then I'm done).If the show does come back next season (highly unlikely), get some competent writers.
-
Kinda suprised they had not tried this gimmick before of exact times. My local news does it for stories, but this was much better than stories on flu shots and school board votes. I really dig that they are telling us that there may be quite a few Holy S*** moments.
-
You have to infer based on what the poster was saying. Try the coaxial section in the top banner and scan about halfway down. They tell you one spoiler point out and GREATLY hint about what could possibly be next weeks.
That said, I really hope that this is NOT true. 24 needs to stop mining the well with so much repetition.
Trying to find info online and can't.....It is possible that that particular poster, who was apparently from England (major hint there) could be wrong.
Again.....Hoping against hope on this -

Come up with something new shitheads

A timer. A padlocked suicide vest. An unwilling/repentant man wearing aforementioned suicide vest hoping it can be taken off in time.
They stole the end of this episode from The Hurt Locker! -

Jack Bauer should become a Nick Fury/Solid Snake type.
by dailysportspages
Sent on missions both foreign and domestic with consequences that are global in scope.
He can be our american James Bond, but more in the muck of it all.
-
Mar 09, 2010 1:43:23 AM CST
And that could be the impetus for the movie, or next season.
by dailysportspages
At the end of this season you can have him be taken away to serve in this new unit comprised solely of him + his support staff.
All of his remaining family should be killed, or his death faked and Jack Bauer turned into a ghost.
-
that was badass. again some nice tension in this episode. some good moments but not enough to lift this season out of the doldrums yet. still just limping along so far. folks are talking about a major twist but i'm just skimming past those headers so i'm not going to get spoiled about whatevers coming....and just when i thought this whole redneck subplot was over along comes the parole officer! DAMMIT! just shoot this whole duke boys/secret criminal past storyline in the head and lets get back to Jack, please?"i have a secret criminal past. i've got a fake identity. i'm on the run. oh! CTU is hiring! they won't run a background check! it will be the perfect job for me!" fucking please... who is the hollywood cokehead who came up with that idea?
-
Brannon Braga is not the show runner on 24. That would be Howard Gordon, since the creators Robert Cochran and Joel Surnow fucked off a little while ago. Braga is just an executive producer, which doesn't mean much on this show. At one point 24 had fourteen people credited as executive producers at the start of each episode. But with the recession and what not, they're currently down to their last eleven or so executive producers, so no wonder it's such a crock of shit this year. My guess is Brannon Braga just makes the tea for the other executive producers. They probably know how useless he is and grumble when he gets the milk and sugar wrong. I can't believe he's very senior. You don't have to be on 24 to call yourself and executive producer. They give that title to everyone. Probably he was just hanging around one day on set with a bucket and mop and Kiefer said hey mop boy, who are you working for, fancy being an executive producer?
-
Edgar Stiles-style death next week, things might perk up. Of course, that would only be possible if there was anybody at CTU to give a shit about (and they ain't killing Chloe....yet).But if the spoilers alluded to are true, then, ho hum.
-
Didn't we see that asshole going into the shower, and then the daughter has the phonecall from her mom, and then the terrorist comes out of the shower in like... 2 minutes! HAHAHAHA. So much ridiculous shit last night... the fucking bomb schematic on the wall WTF!? Oh, and you gotta love how they designed the bomb vest to have a timer that lets you know how much time before it's detonated remotely. I liked the promo for next week, hope it lives up to the hype.
-
...let's hope next week comes within shouting distance of that teaser.
-
Freddie Prinze. I mean why would they bring in a semi famous actor to do this. He showed no remorse killing those two with Dana.
-
how better to get access to drones and computers then by fucking the woman in charge
-
I'm actually kind of liking the main Bauer plot. The New York setting is good (although it doesn't look like New York at all, but that can be forgiven). I love Omar Hassan, like the new CTU boss, and the cast has been for the most part good. For every Anil Kapoor they've got a FREDDIE PRINZE JR. I really can't believe Freddie got cast, he must have videos of Jack Bauer drunkenly fucking a copy of the Koran to get in this shot. Prinze just can't hang, even as hammy as the show has become. Katee Sackhoff deserves an Emmy for "Best Actress in the Worst Plotline ever". It is just not believable that A: Dana Walsh, who is sold to us as a crafty scrapper, would ditch a crucial terrorist attack to murder a guy who was leaving her alone for the immediate present and B: Cole would go from zero crime to murder coverup (not that Freddie Prinze Jr could emotionally sell anything about his character). I can sort of buy the justification that Cole is the Mole and that's why he did it... but that just means MORE Freddie P (weep).
The need to take a page from Lost. When Lost was flagging in the second season (though infinitely better than any of the 24 seasons past the shark-jumping 4th season) they brought in fresh blood to reinvigorate their big ideas. A good show got great.
I'll probably always watch 24 because of how much I loved the first 3 seasons but it's disappoint how little they're allowing the show to evolve. The show was initially compelling because it felt fresh, you could believe that Jack Bauer would die and the twists were shocking. Now Jack gets creamed by a bomb and you know it's fine. -
If you watched scenes to next episode you can tell that cole isn't the mole because cole is in the same scene with bubba running and calling for security. I feel Freddie will kill cole
-
I'm just bummed that one of my favorite shows has a truly sucky, boring and unbelievable (Dana Walsh) plot this year. You want to read where this idea came from? Look no further than Vince Flynn's "Memorial Day", it has the nuclear rods coming into the US, a terrorist dying from radiation poisoning, etc... however, the Memorial Day story is EXCELLENT. I know Vince Flynn used to consult for '24' and I think 24 writers borrowing heavily from his Mitch Rapp books. Really, this season makes me want to go reread Memorial Day so I can see how a good writer got it correct. I think what's killing this show is that they think they have to stick to this 24-hour real time conceit which worked at first. In order to fill in the blanks, they're reaching blindly in the spinning wheel of plot ideas and pulling out these stupid sub-plots. They really should have through through the Dana Walsh thing. Everything about it, from the Duke boys to the leering tech (talk about a sexual harrassment suit) is all wrong.
-
I was actually into the oxygen chamber/bomb storyline, until they completely ripped off The Hurt Locker. Minus the heart and tension.
-

Way to rip off the best picture winner in less than 24 hrs!
by tall_boy66
I'm not saying that they ripped off the "guy-tries-to-save-man-bomber-and-he-explodes" directly from The Hurt Locker, but that movie came out a good while ago, and it's hella coincidental. Still, it's odd that 24's human bomb explosion was wayyyyy more gory than any of hurt locker's explosions.
-
to be let go. I hate to say it since I think they've made an effort to try and deviate from the same old tired and abused formula and instead make a different show then in season's past but what they've come up with just isn't cutting it. The writing is still all low quality and the show is suffering because of it.
With a great, rich character like Bauer to work with, the writers should be banging out a first rate, smart, action thriller. It should be riveting television but sadly, it's been anything but. Maybe if the problems were isolated to an occasional head-scratching moment then it might be forgivable but every episode, every scene is littered with lame, predictable or questionable plots, awkward dialog and contrived, silly twists. More often than not, it's not just bad, it's mind numbingly bad.
The sad part is, everything else about the show (well, almost everything) is well done. If the writing showed some quality and intelligence it'd clearly be a great show. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been any evidence indicating that they’re capable of coming up with better material. A damn shame. -
about that Tarin guy being a bad guy.But you know what? I'm starting to think he's not! lol! I think he's being set up.Like how we were supposed to think Desmond was a bad cunt back in Season 5 but it ended up being that bitch from Castle.Also, why is that CTU teeny bopper getting so much screen time? Surely he has to die. Right?
-
LMAO MrBlackJackBauer!
-
As always with CTU or last seasons FBI, she and too many others make too many personal telephone calls to ever be in a real anti=terrorist agency. Even with that being forgiven, her phone should have been taken away when she got back so she couldn't get distracted again. I hope the bounty hunter gets his head blown off the second he comes to CTU, Dana does it, is arrested, taken away... and on with the real story, etc.
-
THAT was what I'd call GREAT! Kudos for the actors, Kiefer, Mare and Rami! That scene was so intense and had me hooked for the whole 15 Minutes. This alone is Emmy-Land! (Next to Great Terry O'Quinn of course and always Michael Emerson!) But to have two supporting actors deliver THAT great - it's just TV-Magic! It doesn't always have to be about Action (or answered questions - you know, where I'm pointing at!); it's those little 15 minutes of pure Greatness! Acting, Directing AND Score - I'm just thrilled! 24 - FTW! (And LOST, TOO!)
-
...is back on track! Last week the train went off course and took us to shitville. I'm still digging this day, but called a lemon a lemon last week.
Jack wants NYPD to get Slumdog Princess b/c they'll be faster, which means we'll finally get Herc back from earlier this season. I've been waiting to see how the boys in blue would come back around! Sweet!
LMAO @ BlackJackBauer's "wet goat". I gotta stop reading his posts at work...I laugh out loud and have to turn it into a cough! -
This is still on?
-
Rumor has it that if Fox cancels 24, NBC will pick it up ... and probably fuck up the scheduling as usual.
Also, for FaceBook users: http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-blame-Dana-Walsh-for-the-Cancelation-of-24/355610643924
teh roofles
Lastly, I'm all for Free Speech, but to post on a 24 TB page stuff like "I never liked this show" or "Is this still on" is ... well ... sad
