First?
-
and I mispelled it. Wow. Magical
-
Southparks portrayal of 24 was more realistic than this season.
-
/snark
-
But the past 4 episodes have been incredible.
-
[scanning for sarcasm...]
Are you joking? The last 4 have been amongst the worst of the entire 8 year run. -
They'll be showing 4 next week.
-
Never cared for his character, and I hate it when 24 tries to pull out the political machinations such as when they kicked Palmer out of office.
-
It's not great either, but I'd sooner watch this than any shitty CSI spinoff.
Never mind folks, they will be able to save money by replacing this with another great Reality Show! -
Don't worry everybody... Simon Cowell is going to start up a new reality talent show. That will fill the void left by this tired series.
-
how fucking cynical are you guys? I know 24 for what it is and this season started off in a very mediocre way, but since the EMP episode, the writers have finally found ways to keep me surprised. Do the twists make sense? Probably not. Is it fun as hell? Yes. My problem with 24 has always been that the action/firefight sequences have been boring as hell.
-
Fun times to be had at the family torture session.
-
And the bomb doesn't go off. Which was, I suppose, obvious anyway, because there is no way they were going to end 24 with Manhattan a steaming, unihabitable crater...but still, I fucking hate when the next week on makes it entirely obvious that whatever they are threatening us with...never happens. So fucking stupid. Is anything tragic even going to happen this season? They didn't even start us off with a bang so I figured they were saving the big disaster for the middle...but there is no way Manhattan is getting decimated. I want some wanton death and destruction already. it's the last season!
-
It's the first episode of the season where I really felt some of the old 24 magic. I hope they can keep it up, but it may not be enough to pull this entire season out of the crapper.
-
after saving NYC and teaching the meaning of life
-
24 is a show best enjoyed via DVD boxset. Being able to watch several episodes in a row without any shit commerials is much better than having to wait from week to week.
Even Season 6 isn’t doesn’t feel bad as you remember when you watch the boxset.
…… it’s still shit though….. =P
-
Will be the one escorting Charles Logan?
-
Hi My name is Dana Walsh -actually it's Jenny Slate and I'm a convicted felon but you don't want to hear about that now. I understand there is a position for a mole here at the most important anti-terror department in the US and I just happened to be a computer genius , a skill I picked up while in prision if that is of any help

TV will be worse, not better, without it. Going to enjoy the final few episodes for what they are: great escapism.
-
So that means that tonight's episode they stop the terrorists they've been chasing all season and recover the stolen rods. In the last 2 minutes of tonight's two hours we discover all that's occurred has simply been a distraction to cover the bad guys' true agenda.Hour 16 = Red Herring Revelation(or does that usually happen in Hour 18?)
-
Really getting annoying now
I thought AICN board technology was so outmoded that they couldn't get spammed, like Battlestar Galactica not being networked
Where have these spamming cunts come from all of a sudden?
Fucking illiterate gibberish as well -
I wasn't being sarcastic, but I can understand why you thought so.
This season has been the worst, second to season 6.
But making Dana the mole has atleast made that storyline remotely tolerable, and I think they've done a great job pacing the last few episodes, even if they've been outlandish.
Return of the Rack was nice to see too. Hopefully they keep Logan around longer for one episode.
-
...it's even better than I remembered it. (Minus the Kim storyline). What the fuck happened to this show?
-
Rewatched it with friends recently... and even though it kinda goes off the rails after the nuke goes off, it just goes to show how far the show has fallen.
For my money, 3 is still the best season, because it kept building and building to its conclusion. -
Good entire season, but incredible second half. Forgot how good it was. It made me miss Michelle Dessler and Sherry Palmer. Saunders continues to be the best one season villain the show has had.
-
I actually got choked up during his goodbye to his son. On a related note, I've only seen four and a half episodes this season.
-
Except for the cougar, but I love the first couple of hours, crazy Jack killing and sawing off dude mellon! WooHoo! Starbuck is still annoying me, wtf was up with the parole officer visiting CTU in the middle of the night. I'm sorry it was just stupid. Seriously another CTU mole, man she must of had help from the White House for her fake identity. Wow, who would've thought I'd like watching Freddie Prince Jr. more than Katie Sackoff... gfy
-
For most forced character ever put on tv?
-
Best. Name. Combo. Ever.
-
Unlike the first season, Kim's storyline was absolutely pointless. It had nothing to do with anything else that was going on that season. It could have been cut out completely and it wouldn't have been missed. Other than that, it was a great season. Just wish they hadn't wasted several hours on a plot and character that went nowhere.
-
Of S2 was great because it was the first time since 9/11 up to that point that any show had the balls to show Islamic terrorists as the first threat (S1 had absolutely nothing to do with that), and Anthony Quinn's son as Sayed Ali was still one of the best villains ever. The second ahlf of that season got very stupid, IMO, especially the "Jack dies, Jack's alive again" bullshit. that's where his character really went off the rails for me, and all the superman shit started. Season 1, everything was very personal as far as the threat, and Jack was a very flawed character. At the start of season 2, he clearly had a death wish because of Teri and Mason even called him out on it in that great scene on the plane. But at that point, we got the Jack Bauer mythos and the show began to become a cartoon--a really good one still, yes, but not what it started out as.The first half of S3, I thought,sucked--that season actually picked up steam when Saunders came into it and with the virus in the hotel arc that was very well done.But the ending to that season was lame, at least I thought so. At that point, it all became hit or miss--4 was OK, but too much a full cartoon with Marwan and Jack facing off like Superman and Lex Luthor, but season 5 really had me guessing constantly, even though the killing off of so many old characters was very controversial. I personally enjoyed the logan aspect as well. Then, Season 6--enough said. I though season 7 was really going to shit, but it ended up being pretty decent--different, at least, in that Tony was a bad guy and Jack was physically incapable much of the season. It was certainly a boost from 6.
The show has always had major flaws--even season 1, the best in my view, had the very stupid Teri's amnesia plotline. the end of that season was the gutsiest thing I'd ever seen a series do.The end of season 2, however, was just stupid--given it's nonsensical, irrelevant reconcilliation in S 3. S3's ending sucked--Jack crying. Great.Cue the emmy nod, but, please, spare me. Season 4 ended interstingly, and set up Season 5 very well, but the ending there, given its lack of any relevance in season 6 made it, again, stupid.I also hated the "looking over the cliff" end to 6. Again, 7's ending would have been OK, but jack is back to "indestructo" Jack this season, despite the character being 50+ years old and the devestation of the disease having no real ill effect on him. Given all of that, we reall have only had about 4 seasons worth of truly brilliant TV out of the show--not bad considering the conceit and the difficulty of ratcheting up the suspense once it became obvious that Jack would never die and the worst imaginable threat had already been used by the start of season 2.
This season has sucked the big one--until the last 2 episodes or so which have at least been interesting, albeit even stupider in the "suspension of disbelief" area than usual. My only hope is that, with a 2 hour ep tonight, they end this shit-for-brains nulear rod plotline and segue into the last 8 eps fully intent on delivering some resolution to the frayed ends of many past seasons (no all, that would be impossible--just significant ones, I could give a shit what happened to Behrooz)and give us a series finale that once and for all gives the arc of the series from day one some satisfying closure. I'm hoping those of us who started from day one, minute one had have watched everything since that point, good and bad, get some reward with a satisfying conclusion and we don't get fucked by Howard Gordon and the writers.If this ends in some half-assed cliffhanger that will be "...resolved by the movie..." it would really be pissing on our heads and telling us it's raining. -
...were nothing more than a setup to reveal Dana as the mole. I'm glad it eventually tied into the main plot but, you're right, the whole thing was extremely poorly done and made little sense at times.
-
INCREDIBLY surprised, after eight years, that this very tongue in cheek exchange has only happened NOW.

soon, retards everywhere will be looking for a new fix.
by redhorsevector

I'd probably go with Season 2 - Kim's wacky adventure aside - it had the best combination of storytelling, believabilty (well for 24 anyway) characterisation and awesome Jack moments.By the time we got to season 4, the writers had settled on SUPER-JACK mode.As it is, Season 5 is the best balls-to-the-walls SUPER-JACK montage.So I guess its between seasons 2 and 5 depending on how I'm feeling....
-
His post in the 24 Movie talkback will be epic.
-
WTF--what could he possibly bring to the show, except more STOOOOPID....
-
...that would be just fine.
-
At least NetFlix Instant Streaming just added 24, seasons 1 through 7. Watching Hour 1 of Season 1... did Jack sure have a mullett.... and Kim was in that cut-off shirt.Woot.
-
As has been mentioned, the last 6-8 hours of that season is the best we've seen of 24. The suspense was just fantastic. From the subway shotdown to the bomb in the school and Chase's hand being chopped off to Jack crying in the car it was simply unbelievable.
-

24 really suffered from killing off so many strong supporting ch
by bigtuna
I always wondered if they were forced to do that for budget reasons or not, but the new characters they brought in were never nearly as strong as the ones they had killed off. Why did Tony have to die in season 5 exactly? Only to be brought back with a ridiculous explanation. I remember one of the writer's saying 'Tony's Time Was Up". What about Jack?. He's taken 1000 times more risks.

Dana better talk or else Freckles is going to beat the info out of her!!!

Ira Gaines- best damned villian in the 24 universe now the big baddie in Flash Forward. Actually a reason to watch it

"Tick Tock, Mr. Bauer!" Jack: "Yes, I love that song, dammit!"
by mrmysteryguest
-
This series if off the fucking map, lost in the woods, dehydrated with a bloated tongue.
Dana killing a dude in a Federal building and pulling out the wall, stuffing his fat ass in there? Not to mention, let's back up a tick, the whole mole thing. Ex-con getting a fucking Federal job in the first place...I worked for local government and I had to wait weeks for my clearances and background checks.
Fuck this show. It got bumped off my DVR by Breaking Bad and FlashForward (Sorry, Freckles, I'll miss you. Hope you get a decent role on another show). And no I don't want to see a movie unless it is really well thought out and closes the Jack Saga respectfully.
-
shitty villain, president, mole, plot, etc. I think 24 has been weak since the Marwan season but there was always something that kept me interested. Last year it was Tony but this year there is just nothing.
-
regarding watching on dvd in lumps is better than tv, its the same with X-Files. i thought season 8 was soo terrible and then i got the dvds and it all flowed pretty well and i actually liked it. though season 9 still sucks even on dvd sadly. lol

Why did you guys think last year was good again?
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
All of you were singing the praises of the show last year when it was the exact same shit we're getting this year. Why has everyone only now caught on to the fact that from second season onward this show has been shit? It was pretty much done the minute they made it into an action show with season 2. You can't keep that going for years, not with this unimaginative dumbass writing team especially. If you go back to season one you'll see it wasn't even an action show to begin with. They were regular people, not James Bond super agents, and they were trying to solve a mystery. Not stop a big fucking bomb that'll blow up the whole world every year. Even the weak 2nd half of both season 1 and 2 is better than anything that came later, though I kind of like the mexico plotline of season 3, saunders is the same old action storyline bullshit we'd get every year after that though. Can't believe this is the same show I was such a huge fan of at one time.
-
The first half of season 1 is actually up there with shit like Sopranos, Deadwood etc. I think a lot of people forget that or either just don't care because they like seeing jack shoot a lot of people and do Tom Clancy bullshit. Stephen Hopkins made L.A. into an actual part of the show then. Ever since he left the show they never pulled the cameras out of the characters faces again. I think it's too bad the show is going to end outside of LA.
-
NOW!
-
I'm checking out the previous seasons from the latter half of season 2 to my favorite season which was 5 (the one in which palmer is assassinated.) who fucking needs DVD Rentals when you can stream movies straight to your XBOX,PS3 or Blu-ray players?Blockbuster, you are sooo fucked!!
-
..could it be after season 5?President Palmer's younger Brother as the President?Killing off Curtis Manning AKA Black Bauer?Same ol' terrorist bomb threat?Almeda comes back from the dead?One too many Moles?The so-so 2 hour movie Redemption?(all we needed was the Manji from Resident evil 5, and it would have eased the boredom.)Jack survives the toxic bomb exposure?Take your pick or all of the above.That's a wrap, Jack!
-
i will miss the show and i feel the show jumped the shark when the Chinese took Jack i felt the writers took a great season gave it one of the worst endings we have had and they wrote themselves into a corner with no way of bringing him back in a 24 season morons
-
Hahah
-
She blew up a plane and poisoned Palmer.... Can't end the series without more Mandy nakedness can you?
-
Serious beer spit-take on that one.
-
that opened Season 4 was a harbinger of things to come. Although there have been a few high points in the 5 years since then, the show itself has became a train wreck at that moment, never to equal Seasons 1-3.
-
...is better than most anything else on TV. I, for one, will really miss it.
-

God, please let her put a bullet in Cole 'fore she gets nabbed.

Even though Dana's a goofy redneck terrorist.....
-
Great TV....
-
When She's Bad It's Oh So Good...
-
Damn...this talkback is lookin kinda stagnant. Where is everybody?
-
knockers always that big? shes busting out the seams. lol. loving her little Jihad Jane act.
-
DOESN'T LOCK THE DEADBOLT?!?!?!!?
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Maybe ones that aren't there.
-
it's too little, too late.
-
didn't see that coming...I thought for sure Jack and co. were going to rescue him
-
Wasn't he in the preview?
-
With this being the last season of 24, Lost, and probably Damages, I'm selling my TV.
-
I was ready to sell mine after Galactica.
Thought this was an phenomenal episode with a solid ending. Where we've seen 24 all too often slip into the cliche plot delays and repetetive writing schemes, this turned out to be a pleasent surprise. While it may be too late to hold out for salvaging the season, this show has become steadily more solid in the past 5 episodes.
They're actually making me want to see where they can possibly take this story. -
It was actually refreshing to see a charismatic good guy as opposed to the usually conflicted CTU staff roster that either commits high treason or eventully subjugates their own cliched stupidity to eventually service the right cause.
Again.....here's to hoping that Itzen salvages the season. -
...Goldfinger counter.
-
We got a complete episode!! Something that's been lacking this season
-
I'm sure we know where it's going though. Hassan's wife will take over and push for the treaty.
-
the West Coast feed?
-
woman don't hold positions of power in the Middle East...it's a male dominated society
-
The president of a radicalized Muslim nation gets assassinated by members of his own government in a coup d'état for being "too weak" with the West and you think his like-minded WIFE will take over as ruler to continue pushing his agenda???Remind me again when Muslim women were granted that kind of power. Especially when her entire nation probably wants HER dead, as well.
-
Boy was I not liking this season until a couple episodes ago. When it's like tonights episode 24 is among the best on television. Loved every minute of it. Really felt the loss of Hassan, he was a cool dude.
-
The treasonous witch is WAY too free about sacrificing the lives of everyday Americans for her personal ideals. Didn't she allow a packed airliner to be blow up in mid-air, simply because she was too proud to listen? And now, she was 7 seconds away from letting at least 50,000 New Yorkers get killed via nuclear device, if members of her admin. hadn't acted to do her job as protect the citizens of the United States!That woman needs to be IMPEACHED, CONVICTED and EXECUTED for murdering American citizens. >:( Jack's proving himself nothing more that an unthinking tool blindly following her idiotic orders.
-
The once and future female leader of Pakistan was assassinated a couple years ago before she had a chance to regain power. Her husband won election in her place. This plot twist is not far-fetched at all.
-
She cares more about scoring political points with a peace treaty than the lives of thousands of people in her own country? Yep, she's gotta go. She's almost as bad as Logan.
-
And she hadn't been in power that long. Women who talk back aren't tolerated much in the Middle East.The folks who killed Hassan certainly aren't going to let a woman take his place and boss them around, ESPECIALLY if she was his WIFE and has the same agenda that got him killed in the first place.
-
Hassan's widow may run for office, but winning it and staying alive are 2 different things. Tune in next week!
-
Nuclear rods secured - Check
CTU Mole (the 15th) apprehended - Check
Hassan Assassinated - Check
Hassan Killers Terminated with Extreme Predjudice by Bauer - Check
So with the exception of digging out President Logan and Jack finally getting a chance to play hide the sausage with Renee there's not much left to fill out the final hours.
Uh Oh..I smell a lame dramatic out of left field subplot about to rear it's ugly head. -
time next week? Jack and Freckles will get interrupted and they'll both yell DAMMIT!!!It does seem that Hassan's wife will succeed him. Charles Logan just happens to be in NYC as all of this stuff is happening?
-
Michael Madson is coming on for the final few hours so I'm assuming he's the real big baddie for Season 8...guess Dana knows about him too hence the reason she was all secretive with Jack in the interrogation room...I think Madson's character shares a history with Jack as well
-
This is the second time in the last 3 weeks a scene that was showed in the preview wasn't in the actual episode.
-
What perfect timing for a Verizon ad...that was an ironic statement...not to be taken literally.
-
They really worked hard to invoke Season 1 Episode 24. Right down to Cole (Jack) catching Dana (Nina) in the parking garage trying to escape. Arlo was mostly (tony) but he almost became Teri in that computer room.
-
F the Prez, Jack, Chloe, and all the rest of those idealist pricks. This was an awesome deal to dump Hassan for the bomb.
-
Nice to see ANYBODY but Jack get the Prez thanks.
-
I read a major spoiler stating that somehow David Palmer is not dead! That he had, as apparently in the world of "24" every president does, a metal plate protecting his head! Even though he took a shot to the throat, it saved his life, but left him unable to speak... is this BS?? I mean this wouldn't be a shark jump, it's be the whole friggin aquarium!!
-
To Bring David Palmer back for the movie. Really. Fuck it. It's a goddamned Soap Opera anyway.
-
In case you were wondering.
-
She will be another mole, she will get away and the plot for the movies are set. Did you notice how many times tonight they mentioned how much we can trust Renee? Even the prez gave her a heads up. She will turn evil, just watch!
-
Dana Walsh? Ah what the heck ever. Got any other pardons I can sign?
-
Hassan's death was hit me pretty hard. I thought Bauer had rescued him.
-
Jack Bauer fucking yells for his Taxi! I knew the writers couldn't resist doing it.
-
PLAY BY PLAY! two hours of white jesus laying the smackdown, lets fucking GET IT
OH SHIT slumdog’s hair is finally starting to lose its poof. Get him some aqua net STAT!!
Jack has now lost consciousness like 5 times now in about 7 hours. I bet no one has even offered him one advil. assholes.

I mean cmon,worst sound stage EVER? I swear they filmed Laverne and Shirley and R&B videos from the 1990s on this same studio block.
As smarmy and douchebaggy as the chief of staff is, I am 100% on his side of all this. Fuck this madaaame ass bitch. If it wasn’t for this fucktard the bomb WOULD have exploded, he is right. LMAO@ “REALLY madame president??? FUCK YEA IM TEAM DUKE WATERBOY now. this bitch done lost her fucking mind. no way is poof president worth NY going thru another 911, and she should know it. This is some bone headed shit a woman would do tho, get all emotional and not listen to a man, and end up fucking up and needing his help anyway.
Ugggh hold off on the fucking close ups of president slumbdogs face please. SMH all kinds of welts and cysts and shit. President edward james olmos
Why the fuck are they letting starbuck check EVERYTHING out like there is no other help? Where is the resident chank on call that CTU should have? Matter of fact I aint seen no chank engineers there all season. We all know they are symbiotic with computers. Im sure Data from the goonies coulda used a CTU paycheck. He coulda caught Starbuck in his pinches of peril
Awwwwww shit CTU Pervert realized he wasn’t getting no pussy and now and bout to get FUCKED OH SHIT CMON CTU PERV! This shit is like a Scream movie now.
Since when did President Slumdog become Sean Connery?? His vocal inflections and close up confident stares at tony robbins are fucking KILLING ME!
LOL@ starbuck just not giving a fuck and looking sinister as possible now. just evil eyes all UP in this bitch.
OHHHH SHIT Tony Robbins just made a leap of faith into 99 virgin arms. RIP Lurch.
HAHAH WTF IS THIS SHIT! Who are these two noobs? Harijuko terrorist and her balding uncle. Wait how did they just drive out of this shit? it’s a whopping 2 exits and you let some fucking SMELLY ARABS drive a brand new Hyundai under your nose. Un fuckin acceptable!
Why the fuck does jack need an uplink? Nigga how about checking out “last call” and calling that shit back? Ring ring, hello this is terrorist starbuck? Too many bumps on the head jack. -
HAHAH@ stanky starbuck thinking that smile was gonna work on the guard, I ALMOST groaned thinking he was gonna let it slide, but he played that bitch. NICE!
OH SHIT WHO IS THAT HOT ASS LATINA TALKIN TO GUMP?? MORE OF the lunch lady please. Hot salsa Havana nights agents. And yea….. still no chanks.
LOL@ this obvious Russian thug holding a pow wow with madaame president. He will obviously be a new baddie that Jack will strangle an episode or two from now.
BOUNCING FRECKLED TITTIES! :wow YES! Im putting that shit in a slow motion repeat.
HAHAH EVIL EYED STARBUCK IS KILLING ME! She has now gone off doing her best shifty eyed dog impression
Wtf Gump, you have EVERY REASON to take this cracka off duty. He is engaged to a terrorist, disappeared for hours….oh ok good shit, send his ass to debrief…and acting school after that.
LOL@ jack thinking he done. Naaaaaaaah nigga. You been thru a week of these. You KNOW this shit lasts exactly 24 hours.
Hahahah Jack took that bitch by the throat, low key he loves doin that shit. From Audrey Raines to Tony, he cant help himself but to get a lil physical
Ahahah Starbuck done went from a crying mealmouth poor white trash bitch to a diabolical criminal mastermind. “Tic Toc” like its die hard 3 and her name is Simon. ole over confident dog faced bitch! Your fake bravado fools no one.
Hahaha they threw slumdog in a snuggie! all the comforts of home
FINALLY a voice of reason, this nerdy ironic terrorist should be running the show. “KILL HIM NOW!” EXACTLy motherfucka! Just put a bullet in his head. But noooooo paki corey Feldman has to do “the speech”.
Slumdogs scottish voice is really fucking with me now.
What the fuck is the point in getting a dude to confess to some shit under duress? You know its just a “technical” confession, that it doesn’t mean shit, that NO ONE will think it meant shit, so why even waste your time? Why not just chop off his head on YOUTUBE? THAT would be kick ass AND make you look cool as shit.
Yea that makes sense to put the president in Ethans room with a big ass assassination style window.
Aw fuck madame AND ethan has some fucked up lower teeth. I guess dental plans weren’t a part of Obamacare. get these 2 senior citizens the fuck off my screen please.
LOL@ all these contrived awkward moments. “hey your terrorist fiancée is briefing you, do u have a problem with holding a conversation with her and looking right into her eyes from 1 foot away?”
Whats the apt number..WHATS THE APT NUMBER!! It would be funny if jack didn’t realize he was repeating himself. Like his bumps on his head fucked him up and made him a lil too screwy. The CTU vesion of Ali.
Hahah Samir’s “delicate soft” voice is supposed to be menacing, but it just sounds GAY AS FUCK :lol
Paki Fonzi AND Paki Nerd know whats up, its about fuckin time Paki Feldman gets a clue. He is fucking everything up.
These bumbling terrorists coulda had this shit DONE 15 minutes ago and been laughing it up at mickey dees eating some chicken nuggets by now. But nooooo. My nigga needed his “technical” confession. :awhore attention whore terrorists cant get SHIT done ever.
Hahaha Chloe speaking some real know it all nerd shit about the light temperature. She picked up a few GOD pointers from Bauer it seems. Just be all knowing and spout random awesome unknown facts off the top of your head, I fucking love it.
HAHAH HOW DID JACK LEARN THESE MOTHERFUCKAS NAMES SO FAST AGAIN?? “Carlton, Banks, your with me” HAHA
LOL jacks infiltration is like a video game where you gotta get in before the terrorist ends his dumb ass useless 10 minute speech. zzzzzz
OH SHIT!!!! OH SHIT YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THE TERRORISTS FINALLY DID SOME KICK ASS SHIT! PAKISTAN! FUCK YEA!
But but but wait hold the fuck up. Got dammit it already looks stupid, just seconds after watching it. If they had enough time to tape that shit, rewind it AND upload it on ustream….why the fuck were they still in the room? WTF why didn’t paki nerd stay behind and do it while Samir and the Fonz got away??
and why the fuck didnt jack immediately stop that shit from streaming? Did he really think it was cool for little pervey kids watching chat roullette to suddenly see a smelly arab with a machete wound to his neck? UNPLUG THAT SHIT!
And why does this smelly fuck get a silent clock? Maybe it was an RIP for the hair. We will miss the poofness. :(
a fun 2 hour romp. I fucking love this show!!! -
Best post in the history of the internet. Ever. As Jim Rome would say---Rack him!

Her character is always involved in these selfish, interventionist foreign policy moves which result in MAJOR blowback. She doesn't bat an eye when jumbo jets filled with Americans explode or if New York explodes as long she achieves her idea of "peace" in another country. You'd think after last season she would stop trying to play global peacemaker and try to balance the budget or something. Yet unlike President Logan, the creators want us to actually root for this psycho. Last season, one of her cabinent members even suggested not sending troops into the African region until they can find the terrorists (which was a smart move), and that bitch said no. That's insane. I'll tell you what...President Palmer would have at least considered it. This chick? No dice. The audience can't have sympathy for a character that (if she existed in real life) wouldn't give a shit about their lives or families. It's too far of a stretch for the audience to take.
-
It's back, bitches!
-
The last 10 minutes or so was some intense stuff. Grade A entertainment and suspense right there. I'm going to miss this show.
-
solid two hours. season is picking up steam. i felt bad for prez slumdog. Jack was devastated. he hates when people get killed on his watch.agree with the previous posts about prez taylor being completely unrealistic. sacrifice half of new york for some peace agreement? and then she dares to charge that dude with treason?!!! i'd love to see all the evidence come out at that trial. she'd be executed and that rob weiss dude would get a medal.i'm a little worried that all the major plot threads have been wrapped up here. all of the main sources of tension are gone and now i'm afraid this season is going to take a major dip. we'll see what happens but i think the last 4 episodes or so have been solid.
-
Excellent episodes.
I already miss this show and hasn't even finished yet. All these cunts that moan about this show will be moaning even harder next year when there is no Jack Bauer show and they have to watch some other pish. -
Or is she part of this secret mercenary group run by one of Jacks ex special forces buddies turned rogue?
Wait... i think that already happened in season 3 i believe.
-
Prez Taylor is as good as dead.
-
What the hell am I going to watch Monday nights next spring? Guess I'll catch up on sleep...
-
a decent (good by S8 standards) couple hours. A surprisingly graphic end for Slumdog Elvis, and they even had Jack put his head back on the torso. This wasn't the Steven Saunders switcheroo.The first 13 episodes were unquestionably the best of 24. It became a different, but still enjoyable show after that.
-
Thanks for clearing that up. I mean, TV is known for bringing folks back from 'the dead' but it would have been such a ridicules stunt. Almost as bad as his brother later becoming president...
-
And I am not a hater of this season! But the one really awesome thing that I have been waiting all these seasons for is for the powers that be to respect Jack. To seek his help instead of him always having to go rouge. When the president personally asked for him that was just a great moment for me in "24" history.
-
Seems obvious that executing Hassan will have the opposite effect on the people of the IRK and the world. He will be portrayed as a hero who sacrificed himself (and his hair) for innocent Americans. I guess that's why Samir wanted the fake confession so bad.
And yes, I'll agree that President Taylor has been a complete ass, willing to sacrifice American lives for a peace deal? NO WAY that happens, even if you don't negotiate with terrorists. You find another way!
I will say last season I gave her a pass on the plane blowing up. I'm pretty sure Dubaku did that to prove he had the chip and she didn't "allow" it to happen or anything. Plus, she had only been in office for a few months.
Strange...wasn't it Ethan Kanin who was urging Taylor to meet the demands of Dubaku? Seems Taylor has been more prepared to protect the innocent lives of Africans and Hassan over New Yorkers. She smells like mole. What a terrible President.
And damn right Palmer would listen to other alternatives to avoid the deaths of innocent lives. He would have told Hassan about the offer to see what he would be willing to do, and then found different ideas from Novick, the CTU boss of the day, and finally Jack freakin' Bauer! Hell, even Sherri would be consulted before just screaming "no" and reprimanding everybody for thinking with actual clarity. Palmer and Co. would have come up with a wicked plan to have Jack deliver Hassan...ANYTHING to get closer to the nuclear device!
Taylor is totally wrong. The blood of those Secret Service agents, the special ops dudes that Jack killed, and even Hassan, is on her hands. Jack should at least call her out on that shit, now that he sees her failure after Hassan's death. -
I'm all for "The Palmer."
I mean give it a Sopranos-espque send-off that would surely stir the pot (and probably not all negatively) amongst the fans.
I think more than a few fans might actually enjoy this.
P-A-L-M-E-R, P-A-L-M-E-R, P-A-L-M-E-R!!!!!!! -
Really solid scenes with Hassan bound in the chair, with the morning sun cracking thru the windows. Great dialogue and delivery, and nice close-ups! They were foreshadowing death all hour, but I was really expecting Freckles to take one in the chest, not Hassan.
-
And everyone dies except Jack. Fade to black.
-
Expected Bishop to get shot in the head and someone walks with the bomb. Guess they didn't want to beat that dead horse anymore.
Taylor thanking Freckles. "Nice chest - you like girls like me?" -
How has the show turned around thie well in the last few episodes. It's like the first 12 were just rote set up and meant to fake us out and lull us. This season has been BRUTAL. The body count is huge and it just keeps getting worse and worse for CTU. For the first time, I'm really wondering how far the show is going to go. It's the last season, I wouldn't put anything past them at this point. And that makes it incredibly fun to watch again.
"Can you hear me now?" That was fucking PRICELESS, Kiefer. And nice to see Katee do something actiony finally. Seeing her run around shooting at CTU security was fun. She definitely slipped back into Starbuck mode pretty rapidly. -
How many moles, and bombs blowing up in the joint does it take before someone says, 'uh maybe we should find someone else?' Yeah, yeah only TV, but damn try for some reality
-
What don't you guys get? America does not negotiate with terrorists. Always has been that way. We don't give in to terrorist demands. If we do that once, then that further motivates terrorists to do something to put them into a position of power. The argument is over right there. No negotiation with terrorists. I will further justify her position, but it isn't really needed due to the fact that the US does not and will not negotiate with terrorists. How bad would it look if she turned over Hassan and they set off the bomb anyway? Then you have 10 to 50 thousand Americans dead, and a war continuing amongst foreign countries where 100 thousand people die every year. America doesn't negotiate with terrorists because America can't trust terrorists.
-
wow, that was a profound post on my part just there. Best of all I completely forgot what I was going say about "24 endings." My bad. Sorry guys.
-
Dammit, "24" . . . I'm really going to miss you next year. Last night was fucking awesome in every way. It felt like classic "24" from start to finish.
I've said this before, but it's worth repeating: "Lost" ends May 23 and "24" ends May 24. That means May 25 is officially The End of TV. Except for "Survivor," I'm not going to have anything to watch next year. -
Anyone else catch the subtle smile on her face when Jack pushed Dana up against the wall and held her by the neck? I think she was turned on.
-
of 24 ever you could see the look of sadness and despair on jacks face when he saw that president hassan was dead i know what he mustve been thinking "ive failed the president and this man and his family" this will only compound
jacks greif over the people hes lost -

Okay, good episode... But why the hell would I watch next week?
by dk1138
So Dana got discovered (to the surprise of no one thanks to Foxs retarded commercials) and the terrorists made good with their threats. Okay, now what? As far as I am concerned, that just about wraps it up. All the terrorists wanted was him dead, and they got their wish. There are no loose ends to tie up. I understand why they wanted to go with the dramatic silent clock ending, but where was the ending that makes me want to come back again for more? (I haven't seen the preview for next week as I watched it on Hulu. But if it is as spoilerific as last weeks was, maybe I don't want to)
-
Why the hell was the terrorist broadcasting in English? Wasn't the whole point that it was a message to his country? Hope they all passed English in school...
-
You're forgetting that they're already gearing up for a movie. Any series finale will simply pick back up on screen.
-
Since when has 24 ever "picked back up" directly after a season finale? I'm pretty sure that any movie will not be a direct continuation of this season's events.

The russians helped them do it, Dana works for them
by david cloverfield
That's why there was that throwaway scene about "peace dies with Hassan". Or the same organization planted Dana, that planted Nina, and the rest of the season will be about that. But I think it'll be about the Russians.
-
....The Russian connection to the Rods. The Russians are in this up to their eyeballs.
-
Chloe: "Jesus Christ, who does the background checks around here, Stevie Wonder?!?!"
-
That shit was the SHIT!That must rank alongside Teri's and Chappelle's deaths as one of 24's most shocking moments EVER!Can we have Aaron Fucking Pierce next week?
-
I guess Charles Logans' Russian connections is why we will see him back next week then?

To all the asshats saying Taylor should have handed him over
by dr lizardo
Turn the situation around: The US President is visiting a foreign country, and a group of terrorists tell the local government to hand over the US President or they will detonate a big bomb in the city. By your logic, the foreign government should do that. And that's pure bullshit.
I was waiting for Taylor to give this reason, because it's the one that's actually rational and supportable. -
Last night was great. Now they just need to bring back alan wilson, naked mandy, and have grown up Beyroooooz be the big bad, and I'll be satisfied with the season.
-
Couldn't resist.
-
They will maintain if not surpass the quality and intensity of last night's episode for the final 8 and they will now turn to givng us an 8 episode arc that resolves some long standing plotlines to a satisfying finish. Fans that have stuck with this show through the great (Season 1) and the infuriatingly clusterfuckish (Season 6 and the first 8 of this one)deserve nothing less. Hope you're reading HoGo, or anything with your name attached from now on will be lower than snake shite to several million viewers...
-
We learn the Russians are behind it- they have designs on IRK oil fields. Logan is brought in to deal with them because he was buddies with them back in the day. Somehow, Aaron Pierce will enter stage right in connection with Logan. And maybe, just maybe, some Nekkid Mandyness will occur.
-
That's the big question. A 24 prequel movie with older, beloved characters would be far more appealing than an adventure with all new people. Will Jack die this season, chronologically speaking?
-
... is the show going against its own "real time" gimmick.
You simply CANNOT say the events are happening in real time; show the terrorists trying to get Hassan to read the confession; and then drop a "the Internet feed was pre-recorded" reasoning on us.
That's some baby-back bullshit right there.
Oh yeah, on a side note in regards to Hassan's wife taking over ... perhaps SHE was behind the entire day? Just because she supported him and was his "most trusted advisor" during his rise, that does NOT mean she shared his "peace treaty" dream.
After all, isn't the peace treaty the straw that broke the ... *cough, cough* ... camel's back for Hassan's bodyguard and former soldiers?
Whatever plans they have for Michael Madsen, they have MY vote for him to perform an interrogation where he slices off someone's ear while "Stuck In The Middle With You" plays in the background (admit it, you want to see it too) -
Which is bull shit btw I want more 24! Oh well. If it is the end I would toss in more connections to past seasons. Possibly the main villain from season 7 still trying to fuck shit up for the federal government. OR the second oil business man from season 2. In season 3 they write off that he had been "dealt with" but what happens if he is behind all this with the Russians to gain control of the oil fields in the IRK. That would be cool.
-
hopes that Dana Walsh is a soul-patch Nina Meyers?
Normally I would call bullshit if that was the case, but with only 10 episodes left, I am hoping for something memorable. -
I guess being ass boned by Russian mbsters brings out that glow. Seriously if Fox wants to do something with this franchise do a spinoff with Rack. it could be called 38 double D!
-
The bomb is gone, Slumdog is dead. Whats the end-game for series going to be?Any ideas?I think the last few hours could see an assisination attempt on the President. I think that would be cool way to bring things full-circle right back to the 1st series.
-
I'm still loving 24, that last episode was some of the best tv I've watched all year.
-
could MrBlackJackBauer be more racist?
-
i guess they are the big bad this season first there was the russiian mafia at the beginning of the season now putin like dude ill
bet anyone ten dollars that alan wilson is the mastermind -
Why does everyone keep referring to him as 'JackBauer?' In reality they'd say 'Jack' or 'Bauer' but not keep repeating his full name like it was one. It would be "Bauer did this" or "Jack did that," but "JackBauer did this" and "JackBauer did that"? What, is there another Bauer/Bower running around trying to save the world off-screen? Man, this show is so unrealistic!
-
It's not impossible that she could take over. The terrorists in this season seem more interested in nationalism than Islamism, most of the actors are of Indian descent and the women wear Western clothing. I'm guessing that the IRK was modeled after Pakistan, which has already had a female leader in Benazir Bhutto.
-
Sorry, I didn't see your comment before I posted.
-
Great way to avoid those 'Next week on 24' previews.... Do I have to say it?
