‘This Is Going Down Now!!’
Hume’s Scoop On 24 6.19!!

This is going down now? by ElPaw	Apr 23rd, 2007 05:31:13 AM
It's been going down, down, down the whole season.
All of those quotes by conniebrean1	Apr 23rd, 2007 05:32:58 AM
taken completely out of context, are exactly the reason I don't watch this show. Lame. Except for "Pursue and Engage!" That sounds exciting.
bill bucanon by Mr_X	Apr 23rd, 2007 06:02:37 AM
he's gone as well? he's the best thing on there (RIP space above and beyond) someone get him a major part soon. colonel tc mcqueen i salute you. this season smells like 5 day old underpants dank-dank-dank-dank. i reallly shouldnt watch the spoilers, but i dont really care about it.. which shows what dire state this show is in.
Get ready for a surprise!!! by bob oblaw	Apr 23rd, 2007 06:18:22 AM
BOOM!!!
THIRD! by Pennsy	Apr 23rd, 2007 06:22:14 AM
Sorry, guys; 24 gets switched to DVR status from here on out for me. Hope it's a good one with Heroes back.
In the Name of God by NudeandAroused	Apr 23rd, 2007 06:24:49 AM
This show does need to go. Hopefully, and I almost dread saying this, next year will be better. Pennsy is right. Heroes is the priority. 24 may go to Tivo.
Is Bai Ling in this episode? by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 23rd, 2007 06:45:05 AM
"Cheng! You sadistic bastard! What have you done to her??! Get that feedbag off of Audreys face or I destroy this circuit board! Dammit!!" "...but leave the stirrups & the saddle on. Yeah, those can stay."
re: the spoilers by Holodigm	Apr 23rd, 2007 07:05:50 AM
if it WAS schwarzenegger wearing an audrey mask, this would be the best show ever.
Is every line worthy of double exclamation points?!! by tonagan	Apr 23rd, 2007 07:08:02 AM
I mean, really!! I know this is 24 and all, but they're not that manic!!
Can't wait for this. by Cotton McKnight	Apr 23rd, 2007 07:34:22 AM
Looks like a good episode.
Feeding bag off her head by jimbojones123	Apr 23rd, 2007 07:56:09 AM
HAHAHAHAHA!
Why so long in the face, Audrey? by biggles2_22	Apr 23rd, 2007 08:09:24 AM
This generations Ric Ocasek. Every one has to take a drink tonight when Jack makes some over-the-top promise to Audrey. (ie I promise you...I will get you out of here, I will not leave you again, I will keep you safe, I will be right back(stay here!), (my personal favorite) I will get the men responsible for this!!

F this show by Ang_Lee	Apr 23rd, 2007 08:39:07 AM
F this show to hell. Note to Kiefer...you suck as executive producer. And stop chain smoking, you look like hell dude!
When's Daniel Jackson appearing? by ElPaw	Apr 23rd, 2007 08:43:31 AM
Isn't he in it yet?
This show embarrasses me on a weekly basis by Garbageman33	Apr 23rd, 2007 08:53:18 AM
This is the year I got a couple of my friends to finally watch 24. In previous years, I tried to convince them how great it was and they always said, well, it's already into the season, I'll catch it from the beginning next year. And this was finally the year they made good on their promise. Which means every Tuesday morning, I get emails ridiculing me for my horrible taste in television. As bad as this season has been, I may as well have told them to go pick up the new Goo Goo Dolls disc. That would have been less embarrassing.
Damn you, Dr. Robert Hume. by AdrianVeidt	Apr 23rd, 2007 09:16:19 AM
You are the next Michael Bay.
All you haters... by biggles2_22	Apr 23rd, 2007 09:42:13 AM
...just turn the damn show into a drinking game! Make up your own rules and invite some college buddies over. Ooops, Jack just said "Dammit!!", now drink. Chloe just made a rude comment and walked away abruptly, drink. Jack winces in pain from previous injury, drink. Add your own rules, the show has gotten that funny!!
Maybe you fucks should stop watching it by I Dunno	Apr 23rd, 2007 10:17:36 AM
I never understood spamming the fuck out of a message board for a show you hate. Go watch Heroes. Or sit and pull your pud from 8-9. Do something other than cluttering up TBs.
i dunno: WHAAAAA! by biggles2_22	Apr 23rd, 2007 10:25:57 AM
Stop cryin'. Ya baby.
Since I live on the east coast, I Dunno... by tonagan	Apr 23rd, 2007 10:42:46 AM
I can pull my pud from 8-9 AND watch 24 from 9-10. I'm very efficient with my time that way.
I wonder if Jack by IJUSTLIKEMOVIES	Apr 23rd, 2007 11:47:24 AM
narrowly escapes death, and saves the world in this episode. You never know what's going to happen on 24.
Bai Ling? by Don Lockwood	Apr 23rd, 2007 11:52:00 AM
Why the hell would anyone ever want Bai Ling to show up in anything? She's one of the least cool, least attractive "actresses" around.
Audrey's brainwashed? by Christopher3	Apr 23rd, 2007 12:02:18 PM
Or maybe Jack's finally cracking up and can't tell what's real.
The reason people complain... by seanny_d	Apr 23rd, 2007 12:22:02 PM
is because there was once a point where you may have LOVED a show and then it becomes crap, so you complain hoping that eventually things will redeem themselves and become the show you loved again. Also there are still moments of entertainment within the show, but the overall story has just punched me in the face from shittiness. And brain damaged Audrey is fucking retarded. And not because Audrey BECOMES retarded. But because it's used for SHOCK VALUE and allows for one more character that's at least marginally liked to go away. Teri, Mason, Nina, Tony, Michelle, Palmer, even Kim wants nothing to do with Jack, Curtis, President Logan (who knows, but he's not back this season), and now Audrey? Seriously. I get that this is the story of "Jack the Tragic Hero" but do you really need to fuck over EVERY INTERESTING CHARACTER IN THE PROCESS? The only person left who I could remotely care about is Chloe, and even she has been rather lame this season. She's best when she's completely out of control. But somehow she's acting more and more normal. Buchanan PALES in comparison to former heads of CTU, and Milo, Nadia, and Morris are essentially useless characters. Oh, and KILL Ricky Schroder. Thank you.
Spoonie Forever by jimbojones123	Apr 23rd, 2007 12:54:53 PM
That is all.
Tonight marks the first night... by jimbojones123	Apr 23rd, 2007 12:58:26 PM
I cheer against Jack Bauer. SPOILER -- Looks like the VP was right. Jack's selfishness and his "sure fire" plan to get Audry back (for breeding purposes? Jacks got the $$$ on the mind) blows up in his face and he LOSES THE CHIP. COME ON. Spoonie better take Jack down. His wheels are shot off and it's time put him out of his Misery. GO VP -- GO SPOONIE -- DOWN WITH BAWAA!
There is no denying this season has been awful by slone13	Apr 23rd, 2007 01:00:33 PM
Aside from the first couple episodes, this has been, by far, the worst season of 24 to date. I remember all the hype when it was about to start, too, where every critic was talking about how great the show was, the hype machine was in full swing and the anticipation was building to nigh unseen levels. Cut to 3 months later and it's become a parody of itself. I haven't stopped watching, mind you, but I haven't been excited about this show since around episode 4 of this year. This show needs a complete overhaul.
He only lost the chip because Ricky messed it up by I Dunno	Apr 23rd, 2007 01:11:52 PM
When you don't trust Jack, shit hits the fan.
Awful... by RolandFukinDeschain	Apr 23rd, 2007 01:14:53 PM
Best describes what this season has become, minus say 4 episodes, this season is by far the worst of the 6 seasons. The only way it can get better is if it ends...
I'm setting the line at 3:1 by jimbojones123	Apr 23rd, 2007 01:18:50 PM
There will be a 3:1 ratio in post count for Heros and 24. Guess which is the 3?
Is 24 the Producers? by bobbyjoe	Apr 23rd, 2007 01:21:44 PM
I beginning to wonder if there's some kind of "The Producers" thing going on over at 24 this season. You know, you take out an insurance policy, then make a show so deliberately bad, it has to get cancelled, and then you collect your insurance cash. I mean, just reading the idiotic ending to tonight's episode sounds like its geared to piss off even the-- what-- two or three 24 fans out there who still have't completely lost patience with the show this season. I mean, they have to be doing this on purpose... don't they?
this is a horrible season by jonboy83	Apr 23rd, 2007 02:43:25 PM
that is all.
quit yer bitchin by biggles2_22	Apr 23rd, 2007 02:49:28 PM
If you guys would just realize that this show is a spoof of a terrorist/political drama, you'd be praising it!! See my 24 drinking game post above and have a ball!! This show rocks!! And if you think the show is doomed because Kiefer has become an "Executive Producer", look what it did for Alan Alda & MAS*H!! That show limped on for another 7 seasons.

Enough by Overworkedanunderfucked	Apr 23rd, 2007 06:34:30 PM
Yeah, 24 S6 isn't the best. So what? S5 was brilliant. And I still find it more entertaining than that cookie-cutter CSI shit. I like Heroes. I really, really do. But do any of you really believe that show will even be watchable after the third season? It will be insipid than a fourth season of Prison Break.

THE JACK SACK IS BACK!!!!! by Hideo Kojima	Apr 23rd, 2007 08:27:38 PM
He is wearing it right now, finally this season gets good!
WAH HAH HA HAAA!!! ANOTHER MOLE!!!! by uss cygnus	Apr 23rd, 2007 09:03:08 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!! Powers Boothe said it in the preview for next week! ANOTHER MOLE!!! This is now the funniest comedy on TV! It's over. It's all over. This is worse than a daytime soap. A daytime soap is more believeable than this. "Help Me, Obi Wan Jackoby...you're my only hope." LOLLOLOL!!
Excellent use of split screens by Jubs	Apr 23rd, 2007 09:03:30 PM
towards the end. Loved it. And this episode only reaffirms the belief that Jack is all-knowing. Ricky is such a douche. I was hoping Jack would tear into him a bit more for fucking up his plans.
JACK SACK IS THE KEY! by Darth Melkor	Apr 23rd, 2007 09:13:24 PM
If Jack is lacking the Sack, the show isn't as good. It's a proven fact. Jack needs the Sack.

Hmmmmm.... by Mindworm22	Apr 23rd, 2007 10:01:57 PM
WTF? I'm still trying to see where they're going to go with Barbaro. Yeah she's back, but what's with them interrogating her in the next episode thingy. Also, did anyone else notice that the spy was in the White House, not CTU. Vice President Tolliver's blonde toy was busy making time with a younger beau as well. Methinks she's the leak. Horny old men can never win in today's media saturated society....sigh.....
thankfully pennsy by The Ender Smites Foes	Apr 23rd, 2007 10:13:03 PM
I only watch 24 and LOST, everythng else I like I buy on dvd, waiting for Heroes And the box set of sopranos on blu ray. Im spared a lot of pain and propaganda.
I do the same.... by Mindworm22	Apr 23rd, 2007 10:18:04 PM
...and that's why I loves me some Tolliver. Deadwood has been great so far (all of season 1 and the first 2 of season 2 so far)
Haha, good idea with getting a call from Alec. by IAmJack'sUserID	Apr 23rd, 2007 10:24:44 PM
Hey Jack, I want to tell you something, and I want to tell you right now. It's 10:01 right now, and I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a television to watch your show. When the time comes to watch your show, I stop whatever I am doing to watch your show. I want you to know something, I am tired of your games. I am leaving this message to tell you, you have disappointed me for the last time, etc. etc. etc.
to all 24 haters by movienick07	Apr 23rd, 2007 11:21:13 PM
this show is great, jack against world is great... next season jack trys kill daniels because the dude is a bad ass and in 24 theres only room for one bad ass his name is jack!
another thing by movienick07	Apr 23rd, 2007 11:25:15 PM
u losers all hate 24,lost, and heros, from reading ur gay posts... thats shame since all 3 will be nominated for best show come emmy time and one them will win, instead that boring csi,law order garbage u guys beat ur monkey while watching...
One last (s)nuke? by MisterE	Apr 23rd, 2007 11:35:34 PM

Can't understand Heroes love. Don't get 24 hate... by HappyHamster	Apr 24th, 2007 12:00:34 AM
Personal preferences for ya, huh? Anyway, 24 has been great this season, IMO. It generates tension that only shows like The Shield, The Wire, and Sopranos can match. If Heroes got 4.5 stars, 24 must have gotten 10 stars.
Funniest line of the year would have been by slder78	Apr 24th, 2007 12:06:56 AM
when Buchannan says, "Jack's gone rogue." And a random CTU guy in the background goes, "AGAIN?!" And I'm sorry but why did he have to throw the actual circuit board? He could've given him the board off a GameBoy and still been able to blow up the shack. Worst episode since Kim vs. the cougar.
Cheng had put a Bit in Audreys mouth! Awesome!! by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 24th, 2007 12:14:57 AM
Jack: "Take that Bit out of her mouth! No Wait, I'll do it." (removes bit) Jack: "Audrey, Don't you know who I am?" Audrey: "Whinney. Snort." Jack: "OK, I want you to go down the road to the right." Audrey turns to leave. (Trot Trot Trot). Jack: "Dammit Audrey, stop horsing around!"
next week: another Very Special Episode of 24. by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 24th, 2007 12:18:26 AM
At least that Rain Man hacker guy will have a girlfriend now. I wonder if she likes red food?
Circuit board by lordgrimplemort	Apr 24th, 2007 12:35:47 AM
I wondered last week if the Chinese had some way of knowing whether Jack was giving them the real circuit board or a fake. Now we know. For being the number one superagent in the world, Jack was dumber than shit tonight. Why, oh why couldn't he have given them a tv remote chip or something? If he was going to blow the guy up anyway, why take the risk that things would go wrong like they do every time he's in a situation like this? I love 24 but now I enjoy it as a comedy as much as an action show. The writers stretched suspension of disbelief to the limit on this one.
Bill?! by naked_mandy	Apr 24th, 2007 01:26:24 AM
This show is merciless to good characters. Unless Tony comes back by the end of this season, I'm fed up!
Ms. Collins 5th Grade Class Presents "24: The Play"... by FilmCritic3000	Apr 24th, 2007 01:36:35 AM
It's like I'm watching a fifth grade class play version of 24. What the hell happened? Like efilippi said so eloquently, there was a time when my palms would sweat and my pulse would quicken as I watched an episode of 24. Now I find myself growing totally apathetic and waiting for the hour to end. Anyone else feel the same way? The minute Audrey came back into the picture, I rolled my eyes. When Jack said to Audrey, "You're back." (paraphrasing here) I retorted, "Because your show got canceled." Rumor has it that Ricky Schroeder's being groomed to replace Kiefer. Anyone think there's any truth to that? If so, goodbye ratings. All in all, I'm very disappointed in this season. It's like the writers are just throwing crap against the wall and then saying, "Don't worry; the rabid fans will eat up whatever we put out there." Well, I'm full and I really don't feel like eating anymore after this season.
The circuitboard holds the key to the Black Oil by zillabeast	Apr 24th, 2007 03:01:18 AM
Bauer better look out, Krycheck is gonna come down on his ass~!
Why wouldn't he have just given him a fake? by DarthCorleone	Apr 24th, 2007 04:21:30 AM
Seriously...blow everything up in a suicidal effort, or just hand Cheng a fake chip? He still could have brought the real one with him and blown them all up if he were worried that they could test the chip somehow. Seems silly. I guess Jack could be unhinged and want to die, but given the promise of a living Audrey, I don't buy that mindset.
Oh, and Cheng just trusts that is the real chip? by DarthCorleone	Apr 24th, 2007 04:22:52 AM
Even sillier.
You don't have to be a hater by The Selecter	Apr 24th, 2007 04:47:40 AM
to realize this season sucks. And the VP mauling his aide was probably the worst scene in a genre that 24 has never done well anyway. -watcher since the first minute
Special agent Silver Spoons by fireclown	Apr 24th, 2007 07:09:29 AM
I like that Jack is being presented with a worthy nemesis at last in special agent Spoons. Doyle is a younger Jack, and I'm liking the interaction. He isn't falling for the standard Jack Bauer "get out of trouble sequence" of 1) Just start yelling at people 2) demand to know who's in charge and put yourself over the guy in the food chain 3) make a deal. They can get some respect out of me by ending the day with Doyle just running out of patience with jack and putting a frakking bullet in his head. I think Jack sort of wanted to blow himself up. He even dated Doyle to press the trigger. He is rapidly coming up on the point of no return. Finally, from a writing standpoint, I like the Audrey saga. She sold the crap out of having lost her mind last week just sitting there. And this isn't the first time she's had severe physical work related issues: last years "bleeding Audrey" image is one of the strong images that keep me watching this show. She's been crapped on almost as much as Jack. And it's probably been worse on her because she isn't anywhere near as strong as he is. This should be the last straw in my dream series ending, the hunting down and killing of a completely hateful Jack who is out to destroy the US.
what great CTU intrigue! VP loving....great! by just pillow talk	Apr 24th, 2007 07:14:30 AM
Please make that aspect of the show stop. You know, I thought maybe they recovered a bit from this season, but this episode was a letdown. Oh yeah, like naked_mandy said above...Bill?? Great idea, get rid of another character that's remotely interesting. Unless Nadia is naked while head of CTU, stupid move.
VP's "friend" is the mole by jimbojones123	Apr 24th, 2007 07:25:09 AM

I have a feeling the 3:1 will be quite off by jimbojones123	Apr 24th, 2007 07:26:48 AM
It may be 4:1 or worse by the time Heros finishes up tomorrow. Too bad I missed Heros til Friday's replay watching the Hockey game last night. BTW -- Turco -- best series by a losing goalie ever?
just pillow talk by jimbojones123	Apr 24th, 2007 07:37:10 AM
Talk about a creepy smooch. Yucky. Yeah, I said that like a preteen girl watching. That's how dirty it felt watching. Yucky. Go VP though. And Jack is now the worst agent ever!!!
Audrey Raines in "Eve Of Destruction II" by uss cygnus	Apr 24th, 2007 07:47:00 AM

I would have said "Get a room" by wackedfuck	Apr 24th, 2007 08:25:06 AM
But technically the VP and the "Invasion" chick already had one. Ick!
Just make it end by Garbageman33	Apr 24th, 2007 08:47:07 AM
Never thought I'd say that about 24. I've seen every episode since the first one of the first season. Which is why this season has been absolutely painful to watch. I don't remember another season where there were so many storylines that went unresolved and probably didn't need to be included in the first place. I'm looking at you, Bluetooth Bauer and your skeletor father. Not to mention the former president. All to find a Russian guy who simply confused the issue. Oh, so the Arabs are working together with the Russians, I get it. Wait, no, that's stupid. I feel like I already have so much invested, not only in the season, but in the characters. But the more good characters they get rid of, the less I have invested. And I won't get sucked in to another crappy season next year. If it starts sucking again, I'm out. Don't test me. I mean it this time.
jimbojones123 - I missed the previews... by just pillow talk	Apr 24th, 2007 08:50:29 AM
Wow, just can't imagine this show having another mole... Hey, the VP is making Bill Clinton smile! Or maybe he's thinking, "I've done it better..in fact I've done the fat pig there on the rug, and there on the couch, there on the table...there on the desk.."
HappyHamster: "24 better than Heroes"? by Pdorwick	Apr 24th, 2007 08:56:05 AM
...in what universe. There is no tension in 24 because it's hard to build it while you're insulting your audience's intelligence each and every week. Heroes is a quantitatively superior show on every conceivable level: better acting, better production value, way, way, way better writing. I understand that you, like a lot of us, are huge 24 fans, but let's retain a sense of critical perspective shall we? If Heroes jumps the shark like 24 did this year I will be the first to call it, so let's try to keep our critical eyes unblemished by nostalgia.
Had enough by Stuntcock Mike	Apr 24th, 2007 08:56:35 AM
of 24. Last season was good. This season is about 12 hrs too long. Bringing back Audrey was a horrible idea. Silver Spoons will break Jack out and they'll be a cute little team. Yeesh.
Buchanan by fireclown	Apr 24th, 2007 08:57:43 AM
I was actually thinking "bully for him. He finally sidelined someone (Chloe) for being a back dealing untrusatable fool" when he BRINGS HER BACK IN! I swear that is the most dysfunctional organization in the world. And BTW, the "don't arm nukes for terrorists" line: Gold!
Hee Haw by Stuntcock Mike	Apr 24th, 2007 09:04:00 AM

There, I said it. Now go work it into the script. And if I hear "Wapners on at 6!" or "Franks n Beans!!" come out of Audreys mouth, you'll have a fan for life. Go get 'em script writers!
Putting aside the Heroes ratio for a moment by The Selecter	Apr 24th, 2007 09:14:36 AM
I'd like to know, if they don't drastically retool the show in at least some fashion next season, how many here are going to continue to watch? A change in venue might work, if it means more Jack and _good_ replacement characters, unlike the ones this season. Keeping it in LA, and just replacing Jack with Silver Spoons in the same kind of story would surely put the nail in the coffin.

The Selecter by Stuntcock Mike	Apr 24th, 2007 09:35:37 AM
As it stands now, I'm out at the end of this season. Too much politics, not enough action. I used to yell at the tv at the end of the old episodes, every one was a cliffhanger, now it's just meh, I'm looking at my watch, I want it to end. Jesus, CTU is the worst run organization on the planet, isn't it? The only interesting person is Lennox. Shifty prick has something up his sleeve. He'll probably be blown up by some weird nacho cheese bomb or something. End of line.
Pdorwick: I believe the exact opposite. 24 over Heroes by HappyHamster	Apr 24th, 2007 10:00:46 AM
Take what you said, and switch 24 for Heroes. To me it's not even a competition, but as they say, "to each his own". ;)

most hamsters would've jumped off the 24 wheel.. by just pillow talk	Apr 24th, 2007 10:10:01 AM
after this season. I am just very disappointed with this season. A guy at my work who is a very big fan said "I almost fell asleep until the last five minutes when there was some action..." But yes, I will watch it until the end of this season. It will be a difficult decision next year: to watch or not. Makes me very sad that it's not a no-brainer. And I think if Jack threw a branch over the pickup, Ricky would have never seen it!
I started switching over to Heroes. by CatVutt	Apr 24th, 2007 10:10:10 AM
Even though I was recording it. I dunno, at the height of the absurdity, with Rain Man and his brother, and then the end of Fayed, I was still with it, but now? The direction shift seemed like a great idea, but the execution is pretty hack. The 'chip' could've been anything the way Chang just took it, why bother with the real thing? Audrey's a blubbering wreck? There needs to be some serious overhaul next year, or this may slip off my radar.

in regards to your question, Selecter... by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 24th, 2007 10:43:59 AM
I'm going to stick this season out, but as to whether I'll be back next season depends a lot on how they end THIS season. Though this season has pretty much been a train wreck, they could still at least end it with some sort of interesting setup for season 7. I'll give the first couple episodes of season 7 a shot, but at the first sign of suckage... I'm out. Buchanans departure? Totally unnecessary & felt as random as the appearance of the autistic hacker. 24 is paying Keifer so much I don't think they have enough left over to pay anybody else a decent salary (see: the great cast purge of season 5). Bill was alright in my book & will be missed. Spoons is definitely being groomed as a Keifer replacement. I think that's pretty obvious. I could tell from the moment he walked in being all hardass & looking like a mini Bauer that was the case. I think It shows a lack of imagination on the part of the producers tho, going with another guy who looks like Jack. I don't have the Ricky Shroeder hate that a lot of the others here seem to have, but I definitely don't think he has the right quality to carry the series after Keifers gone. Not enough Gravitas. As we've seen this season, after they've wiped out all their great characters, it's up to Keifer to carry the show & when he's not around, things start to drag. 24's writers & producers have no one to blame but themselves for that.
Mogwai Democracy by ElPaw	Apr 24th, 2007 10:59:53 AM
"they could still at least end it with some sort of interesting setup for season 7" We had that at the end of season 5, doesn't mean that season 6 was fantastic.

Re:Better acting on 24 than Heroes by Overworkedanunderfucked	Apr 24th, 2007 11:47:19 AM
Is this a joke? I like Heroes. But the only decent actors on the show are the cheerleader, her dad, and cop who reads minds. Everyone else is just bland and mediocre. The indian actor is just terrible and his voiceover are cringeworthy. I have had my share of problems with 24 this season by the acting is about as good as it could be. Kiefer, Powers Boothe, and The Biscuit have all done great work. I just wished Jack had more screentime.
What if Tony is the new head of CTU? by Cotton McKnight	Apr 24th, 2007 11:49:14 AM

Re:Re:Better acting on 24 than Heroes by Pdorwick	Apr 24th, 2007 11:57:34 AM
Is this joke a joke? Kiefer Sutherland has long ago descended into a David Caruso-level one note performance and the rest of the cast are forced to via the horrible, soap-opera level writing.
Is Spoonie really Jack's kid too? by jimbojones123	Apr 24th, 2007 12:12:20 PM

24 vs. Heroes acting... by just pillow talk	Apr 24th, 2007 12:26:59 PM
Both have cringe worthy performances during the season/individual episode. It is always more forgiving when that season/episode holds your attention better. Hence, a lot of 24 hate this season since 1)the plot is stale/old 2)All the good characters are dead/fired/incapacitated.
No one has mentioned the cougar yet. by DarthCorleone	Apr 24th, 2007 12:38:02 PM
Turn it into an Elisha Cuthbert vehicle next year with her having totally become her father's daughter as a field agent at CTU. It'd be camp, but at least it would be entertaining.
Sorry, this season is an abomination.... by Ultron ver 2.0	Apr 24th, 2007 12:42:43 PM
...can't wait til it's over. The acting is brutal (Jack has become a robot that screams COPY THAT), the plot is all over the place, and each facet of it sucks, and has been rehashed. It's a shame, I really like all the other seasons, but S6 inhales massive yards of cock. Oh, and PwnedByStallone, I hope you get stabbed in the face with a bag of dicks.
DarthCorleone - great idea by just pillow talk	Apr 24th, 2007 12:48:51 PM
Except have her stay at CTU HQ, along with resurrected Michele and Nadia. Oh, the possibilities of 'discovery' are endless!
Oh please by Overworkedanunderfucked	Apr 24th, 2007 01:03:17 PM
I knew the Heroes fanboys and sycophants would come out in full force with trolling that makes Serenity browncoats look reasonable. I am not a fanboy of any of these shows (24, Lost, Heroes, Prison Break, etc) I like Heroes. Hell, I will even buy the entire season on DVD when it comes out. That said, the show is nowhere near as good as any of these shows. I honestly think Lost and 24 are better acted than Heroes. Aside from a few noteworthy performances it is soap opera wood. Some of it is so bad it makes David Caruso look watchable. Ali Larter is a shit actress that belongs on some third-rate CW sitcom. I can't wait until next season when Heroes takes a nosedive in quality and the press and the fans all join together and declare some other shitty show the BEST SHOW EVA!
I knew... by Overworkedanunderfucked	Apr 24th, 2007 01:21:53 PM
That season six was in trouble when it turned out at Leonard Betts was Jack's brother. If it were up to make me the show would have stopped with the WMD shit after the third season. I think the most frustrating thing about 24 is its refusal to take a chance and do something different. I suspect this has something to do with Joel Surnow who sees the show as a propaganda tool for his pathetic right-wing agenda. I would like to see a "Day in the life of" Jack Bauer styled season. We could have a whole season devoted to Jack being could in a Hurricane Katrina type situation. The possiblities are endless with the format and if they pull the same WMD plot out of their ass next season I will stop watching. I thought last night's episode was ok and I enjoyed seeing brain damaged Audrey. I just watched the show had better writing to exploit the dramatic possiblities of such a wacky storyline.
Did Chloe really go out... by Childe Roland	Apr 24th, 2007 02:02:45 PM
...and get her hair colored in the middle of a crazy day at CTU? And is that really the only thing bohering me at this point? Well, obviously , no. But it was the most concise way I could think of to point out the inherent absurdity of this season. I guess the nice thing for this show at this point is that theres no way the shark can reach it all the way up there on its water skis.
Overworkedanunderfucked: PwnedByStallone's brother? by Pdorwick	Apr 24th, 2007 02:11:58 PM
24, Lost "nowhere near as good" as Heroes? Really? Really... 24 has set the gold standard for wooden acting with every actor playing the exact same emotion with the exact same tone... my god. Lost is better but this season has been so bad that worries about acting are the last things people are worrying about. Heroes succeeds on every level that 24 and Lost fail at, including acting... ...and Ali Larter is exceptional in her dual-role.
I give up by Jack Burton	Apr 24th, 2007 03:25:20 PM
I admit, I'm just watching out of habit now. Jack is missing for more than half the episodes, but when he shows up he does something idiotic. His "plan" to make the trade for Audrey was stupid. For once I was completely with CTU and even VP Noah to pull the plug on the deal. Now Audrey is brainwashed? This show really is becoming Days of Our Lives with assault rifles.
Schroder = Jack replacement fo sho by SavageDragoner	Apr 24th, 2007 03:51:53 PM
First of all Ultron, that bag of dicks line was priceless As for 24, as someone who only started watching the show since the beginning of Season 5, maybe I can offer a slightly fresher perspective. Jesus, Season 5 was enough to get me to pledge my eternal allegiance to this show. I didn't even know the characters and I got sucked in. The plot moved like a freight train, perfectly combining the action with the tidbits of emotion and character. Remember the one-two punch of Edgar Stiles death followed by Sean Astin's character when the gas was loose in CTU? That was a great fucking episode. And while it did make me wonder if there were always this many dangling plot threads (1. what the fuck happened to that woman and her son that Jack was shacking up with back at the beginning of S5, the one that Jack saved at the airport; can anybody tell me who they were? and 2. Remember Martha Logan's female aid, and her daughter was kidnapped and then what's-his-name found them in the motel room...did she die or what???)it was overall a very solid show. Now we get to Season 6. WTF??? It bothered me from the very beginning that the brother of the first black president had tap-danced his way into the White House between seasons. I mean, Christ, was Wayne even IN politics back at the end of S5 when he was running for his life and shit? And Jesus Christ, you need a fucking flow chart to keep up with the plot in this season. It's meandered so much I sometimes look back and go, 'Christ, were we really just killing Curtis like ten hours ago?' And if I have to sit through Chloe and Morris arguing one more time, I'm going to projectile vomit in the hopes it shorts out my tv. They got a regular soap opera going on in CTU--and while Nadia is the hottest of the hot--it sucks to be losing Bill. Goddamn, I hate Daniels, I liked Doyle at first but came to despise him quickly (and oh yes, he is being groomed as the Bauer 2.0, bet on it), and while Audrey's presence was sorely missed, it's somehow worse getting her back. But Wayne's breakdown on national TV was absolutely priceless!! Anyway, what I'm saying is that unless this Season ends on one fuck-all of a cliffhanger, I'm soley a Heroes man from now on...

24 by Mindworm22	Apr 24th, 2007 06:43:50 PM
Is not nearly as good as it has been in past years, but again is still better than a majority of the tripe on TV. That being said, I liked the change in direction and the death of Fayed episode immensely, but the direction they changed to....notsomuch. And if Ricky becomes the next Jack I'm gone. It'd be worse than Charlie Sheen in for Michael J. Fox on Spin City!
The Day Ricky Takes Over by Jubs	Apr 24th, 2007 06:49:15 PM
I'm out too. 24 is nothing without Kiefer. It thrives on his energy, his emotion and his ruthlessness. Kiefer made 24 what it is today, and more or less has been carrying this franchise for a few seasons now (if not the beginning). If they let Ricky Skywalker take over next season, I'm out. Asshole shouldn't be mentioned in the same breathe as Keifer. With that said, I don't think this season is as bad as some others are saying, but its definetely lacking when Jack isn't on screen. And theres been a lot of that happening lately. The only time Jack should be slowly fazed out of the show is during it's series finale, when Jack finally bites it in the most dramatic, emotional, nail-biting, tear-inducing death in television history.
Next episode is SOLID! I got a look at the script! by Mogwai Democracy	Apr 24th, 2007 06:51:39 PM
Interior. CTU Medical. AUDREY RAINES is sitting in a chair with a coat draped over her shoulders, babbling incoherently. Standing opposite her, looking concerned, is NADIA & a large pale horse. NADIA: "Thanks for coming in, Mr Ed. We've tried everything and we can't get thru to her. You are our last hope. We figure maybe she will talk to one of her own kind." MR. ED: "OK Naaaaadia, I'll see what I can do." (MR. ED lowers his head to AUDREY) MR. ED: "Hello Auuuudrey. It's me, Ed.You remember me from the pasture, right?" (AUDREY stares off into the distance.) MR. ED: "Come on, Auuudrey!! CTU told me they are going to send you to the glue factory unless you snap out of it!" AUDREY: (shakes head & snorts loudly, then stomps & drags her foot on the ground 3 times.) NADIA: "What is it? What did she say?" MR. ED: "She says she wants some oats. Enough to fill 3 feedbags." AUDREY: (snorts) MR. ED: "...and a carrot. I think... YAAAAH!!!" (MR. ED & AUDREY rear back violently as a small MOLE scurries across the floor between them.)
Yeah, this season's been pretty bad by wackedfuck	Apr 24th, 2007 06:55:10 PM

Pdorwick by Overworkedanunderfucked	Apr 24th, 2007 08:24:41 PM
If you think Ali Larter is a good actress than that explains why you are an irrational Heroes fanboy who will defend the mediocre acting and buy into the hype. Oh and Lost is getting good again. I would even go as far as to say that every episode in the second half as this season has been good. I like Heroes. I would say "Company man" is a damn fine hour of television and one of the best episodes of any show this tv season. Still, the show will no doubt have a short shelflife. You think Heroes will even be remotely watchable during a sixth season? I guess you also think Nathan Fillion is one of the greatest actors of his generation and that Joss weapon is a God among insects.
calm down folks by Mr_X	Apr 24th, 2007 08:49:38 PM
this seaon has been doggy do do. hopefully the producers will know that huge changes need to be made for season 7 otherwise they can kiss the franchise and possible movie goodbye. but lets not be playa haters. 24 has been good to us for 5 seasos, how quickoy we forget, and even the best tv shows have an off season. they do need some major reworking, move jack somewhere else. LA cannot be the background anymore. Im just hoping the producers wont get defense, but see things really need to changem otherwise folks will leave and never come back

I like 24 and I like Heroes, but face it, in time a show begins to turn into a parody of itself. Like the X-Files. First five seasons great, second two good, last two I stopped watching. These shows only have a certain shelf life. While this hasn't been the best season of 24, I don't get the absolute hate. Amazing how quick people turn. It won't surprise me if Heroes gets this much hate 3 or 4 seasons from now when the next big thing comes along. But, after all it's a television show people. It's not the end of the world. Sit back and be entertained or just flip the channel.
I agree with you Mako by wackedfuck	Apr 24th, 2007 10:24:12 PM
This happens every year. People complain about how one season pales compared to another, forgetting that the previous season wasn't so great to begin with. This show has been on a downward spiral for years now.
"If Heroes got 4.5 stars, 24 must have gotten 10 stars" by RaveX	Apr 24th, 2007 10:28:14 PM
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAH... heh.. HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAAH AHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH AHAHAHA ok, now that's out of my system, I can rant along. so first of, up till this season, I didn't likae 24. I fucking loved it. I used to stay avake all night long, just to catch the torrent the moment it goes up (usually around 6 AM), then crashed, cought couple hours of sleep, woke up and watched the episode. now? well, not so much.as someone else pointed out, watching it is just a matter of habbit. this weeks episode was on my hdd all day long, I watched it an hour ago only because I was bored out of my mind. wish I didn't, though. this was bad. very bad. very very bad. but then again, so were last 10 or so episodes. what bothered me the most is the fact they ditched another one of the characters that made me put up with bullshit dialoges and plots 45 minutes per week. so, let's see... this season they offed manning, prolly killed logan, made pierce go buy groceries on the day a NUCLEAR FRAKKING BOMB went off (they should've just killed him as well, it would be less embarrassing), heller and mike are MIA, and now they fired bill (as someone above mentioned, space: above and beyond ftw!). ok, so now that leaves us with... erm, well, with chloe. and maybe nadia. ok, and powers boothe, but they might've as well casted a cardboard with "shady VP with a selfish agenda, ment to mess with jack's plans" writen all over it. fuckin' waste of talent... every. other. character. needs. to. die. oh. and if there actually are any fayboys left, I guess they're gonna say something like "last season we saw deaths of palmer (the I-give-a-fuck-about one), michelle and (as it seemed back then) tony in the first 15 minutes of the very first episode". yes, my dear basement residents, we did. but bask then it their deaths were the driving force of the entire season. departures in this one are just sloppy writing. /rant off oh, and just for the record: heroes talkback 234. 23 talkback 77.
erm... by RaveX	Apr 24th, 2007 10:33:26 PM
insomnia + alchohol + shitty 24 episode make my spelling suck. a lot. oh, and about heroes vs. 24 talkback ratio, I was wrong: figures I posted above were from the past 24 hours... altogether it's something like 400:125 :p

you have got to be frakking kidding me by ReginaldBarclaysInsecurities	Apr 25th, 2007 01:42:52 PM
i think it was the first episode of heroes, maybe the 2nd, but it had that guy crawling around on the floor of his apartment with that girl looking for something, and they accidentally almost bumped into each other and kissed, with the awkward sexual tension you can expect from a hillary duff movie this show HAS to have gotten better or else people wouldn't be talking about it still, but i'm sorry, i expected the next episode to have those two eating spaghetti together and then they meet in the middle of the noodle like lady and the tramp. they've set themselves up well with adding Malcolm Mcdowell to the cast, now all they need is for the Shat and Gurney Xavier to show up and kill him before the nexus hits veridian 3. i'm quite sure that dumber shit has happened in 24 than chang getting away with that chip, WE'RE IN SEASON 6. heroes fans are jealous that Jack is a way better superhero than their heroes, but without the powers. theres no reason to be embarassed, i mean, batman is the most hardcore justice league member, and he's just a man too! get over it.

Bad episode. Bad season. 4 hours left of chasing Ching Wang Tung in his stealth Hummer while Audrey mumbles "Help me Jack" like Kate Winslet in Titanic when Leo was freezing up in the ocean. Real hard to track 4 mega black Hummers. No local police to call for backup? State police? Reno 911 troopers? Detective Frank Drebbund? I laughed my ass off when Morris was running up the stairs and doing his Travolta strutting. He had a fucking drill in his shoulder blade!!!! Beaten with bats!! Is he a cyborg?
