cheers.
ken

[VicforMsu]

on Yahoo! TV they have a one minute clip from tonights episode if anyone wants a sneak peak. :hug

[Mel4AU]

we're all going to have to get real lives.....oh shit. i'm not ready for this. :lorraine :thumbsdow

i know. it's scary. what's out there?? and what do i need to bring?? ohhhh...:lorraine

[Mark]

i just got a spam e-mail from someone named Stephen Saunders

:lol

[killymagee2000]

8pm can't come soon enough! :24

[Mel4AU]

i'm so excited! but i don't need to wish my life away.... HURRY HURRY HURRY.

[Mel4AU]

can someone PLEASE ease my mind and tell me whether jack is back next season?? ugh fox news.

[killymagee2000]

I think he is. Matt mentioned somewhere that he's signed on for a couple of more seasons.

[Mel4AU]

phew. thank you!

[killymagee2000]

phew. thank you!

Ha ha ha. No prob. Hope you weren't losing too much sleep over it.

[Mel4AU]

:lol lose sleep? over jack? naaah... um, i have insomnia anyway. :o

[JimiThang1]

Yea they signed a new contract with Fox to do 2 more seasons.

[Mel4AU]

"they" being 24 or keifer?

[Dancing Ants]

i just got a spam e-mail from someone named Stephen Saunders

:lol

did you forward it to your local CTU office...?


oh wait..you're in Canada. uh oh.

[JimiThang1]

Both. Since Keifer is an executive producer he has a say in the whole thing. So two years for both.

[Mel4AU]

great news. thank ya +1!

[Bartndrpleez]

I have a feeling Tony won't be with us much longer though...:(

I've been watching this show since the first day it aired, and I must say it was the best choice I've ever made as far as TV shows go. This and Homicide and The X-Files, my three favorite dramas of all time!

[fifel]

8pm can't come soon enough! :24

I don't know where you live. But it starts an hour earlier because of the two hour finale. So I can't wait till 7pm central.

And for all the others who don't know what they are going to do in the summer. If you haven't watched Alias yet check it out. 2nd best show on television behind 24.

[killymagee2000]

Dang. It starts at 8pm for me.

[dobyblue]

I think he is. Matt mentioned somewhere that he's signed on for a couple of more seasons.
Keifer, Tony, Marwan and Audrey were on PBS today with Charlie Rose.
Keifer talked about the next season and that the writers are pretty far into it already. He said that the next season will tie in quite closely to this season. He didn't say whether the subject matter would tie in but he did say there would not be much of a gap between this season's story and the next. No 1 1/2 year or 3 year gaps - it would be a very close continuation.

Very interesting. Particularly that Tony was there talking about next season. I figured he was a goner. I guess he could still be toast.

[bdb23]

:24 <---"Let's do it."

[killymagee2000]

:24 <---"Let's do it."

Oh yeah!

:24

[taphntm]

he's not even dead for 5 minutes and... he's back alive again! that was too predictable

[Wildmoose31]

he's not even dead for 5 minutes and... he's back alive again! that was too predictable
how is it predictable? they showed him being left, they didnt even try to make the viewer believe that tony was dead

[Wildmoose31]

I gotta say, that punch curtis gave that chick was pretty cool

[killymagee2000]

"His name is Jack Bauer."


You mother fucker! :24

[dobyblue]

Damn Mandy is sexy.

Those Chinese make for a pretty scary scenario don't they? :lol

As for Mandy. Will the two presidents see her photo and will President Palmer recall the person who shook his hand oh so long ago?

God damn this is fun!!!!!

"Remain presidential, demand success from all your people and you will get it."

[Gater1848]

I gotta say, that punch curtis gave that chick was pretty cool


That was awesome!!

[taphntm]

I gotta say, that punch curtis gave that chick was pretty cool
:thumbsup

how is it predictable? they showed him being left, they didnt even try to make the viewer believe that tony was dead

it wasn't until Jack started reviewing the tape

[dobyblue]

It was definitely obvious to the viewer that it was not Tony and Mandy walking.

[Wildmoose31]

:thumbsup



it wasn't until Jack started reviewing the tape
I knew it from when mandy left tony lying on the ground in the room after the tazer

[Wildmoose31]

o u c h

[taphntm]

well that sucks

[Gater1848]

mandy better have some info!

[dmb1spe]

Worst computer enhanced scene ever.

[Gater1848]

seemed a little too easy to shoot that down!!

[killymagee2000]

S5 of 24 will = The Fugitive part deux. Anyone else see the similarities? Jack on the run, one armed man (Jack unable to use his left hand).

[Wildmoose31]

S5 of 24 will = The Fugitive part deux. Anyone else see the similarities? Jack on the run, one armed man (Jack unable to use his left hand).
He can team up with chase so they can have a total of 2 good hands

[Franchize41]

now what the hell am i gonna do on monday nights???

[boiii]

okay then.

cheers.
ken

[Wildmoose31]

I gotta say, well done overall

[dobyblue]

The last scene reminded me of the ending of any Incredible Hulk episode with Bill Bixby walking away with his backpack at the end, towards another identity, towards another town.

Very cool episode I thought. Callery's music from Audrey finding out Jack's dead up to the split screen was fantastic.

[FPrefect61]

Hmmmm...

[JimiThang1]

Well that was interesting...

[dobyblue]

Now we have to wait for Season 4 on DVD to get a peek at Season 5. :)
September 2005?

[JimiThang1]

Now we have to wait for Season 4 on DVD to get a peek at Season 5. :)

Yep should be out then.

I thought the exact same thing...

[Crumbo]

that was interesting (and predictable) to say the least

I liked how they setup next season

[bdb23]

Fucking awesome trailer for next season. "If you think you know what's coming next, you don't know Jack."

[Crumbo]

Fucking awesome trailer for next season. "If you think you know what's coming next, you don't know Jack."

shit....I missed the trailer

[Mark]

they had a trailer for next season?! :twak

[Gerginator]

That may have been one of the better endings to anything I've ever seen...

"as soon as this call is ended, jack bauers' dead."
"i understand"

Im really pondering how next seasons gonna be with/without jack... (not a spoiler really, i just cant see them taking him off the show)

[hobi316]

OK, I've been lurking on this thread for months now, that finale was brilliant. For a minute there I wasn't of the future of 24. Amazing...

Now I'm looking forward to Prison Break or whatever the hell it is.

[Wildmoose31]

So, only 7 or 8 months til Season 5

[bdb23]

Yeah. "Day One, he saved the President. Day Two, he saved a city. Day Three, he saved the country. Day Four, he saved the world. If you think you know what's coming next, you don't know Jack." Something along those lines.

[joepsu0985]

Damn....Jack is comming back...WTF...this was a fucking amazing season...

When I thought he got shot..I was like "what the fuck am I going to watch next year...but man...what an ending...cant wait for the dvd...

[taphntm]

:thumbsup next season's plot

[dobyblue]

Damn....Jack is comming back...WTF...this was a fucking amazing season...
It really was an incredibly entertaining season.

This show has never dissappointed me.

From S1.1 to S4.24 I've enjoyed every moment.

[Crumbo]

Yeah. "Day One, he saved the President. Day Two, he saved a city. Day Three, he saved the country. Day Four, he saved the world. If you think you know what's coming next, you don't know Jack." Something along those lines.

:thumbsup

it's amazing that they don't know 1/10 of what Mandy has been involved in

[bdb23]

:thumbsup :thumbsup

[snyddogg430]

I don't want to sound cynical, but I was thinking how crazy it would be if Jack had died, just because of the shock factor. Plus, to see how the next season would turn out without him, it would be nuts. However, Jack Bauer is 24, so of course he wouldn't die.

[Wildmoose31]

Yeah. "Day One, he saved the President. Day Two, he saved a city. Day Three, he saved the country. Day Four, he saved the world. If you think you know what's coming next, you don't know Jack." Something along those lines.
Aliens! Now hes saving the universe

[bdb23]

Exactly. We want Max!!!!

[taphntm]

Yeah. "Day One, he saved the President. Day Two, he saved a city. Day Three, he saved the country. Day Four, he saved the world. If you think you know what's coming next, you don't know Jack." Something along those lines.

"Day 5 he saves the universe including hell"

[joepsu0985]

You can say that again...wow...this show is amazing.

God damn Canadian feeds!!!!

Nothing mentioned about Season 5. I wonder if Fox has it hidden on their website somewhere?

[SeaneeRo66]

Anybody else hear Dave singing "see the pig dressed in his finest fines" while Logan was chatting it up as the seasoned ended?

[Matt]

Exactly. We want Max!!!!
I thought we were getting there when Aaron came in and showed him the tape from the end of S2.

All in all, a brilliant finale.

[UNC41]

"Day 6 he saves the universe including hell"

Well what's he doing on Day 5?

[bdb23]

I don't want to sound cynical, but I was thinking how crazy it would be if Jack had died, just because of the shock factor. Plus, to see how the next season would turn out without him, it would be nuts. However, Jack Bauer is 24, so of course he wouldn't die.
It would have been a brilliant way to end the series (not that I want it to end, though). Leak the fact that there is going to be a 5th season which gets us thinking of course Jack isn't dead but then pull a fast one on us and end it.

[taphntm]

Well what's he doing on Day 5?

:lol I edited it

"day 5 he goes to bed"

[bdb23]

I thought we were getting there when Aaron came in and showed him the tape from the end of S2.

All in all, a brilliant finale.
I did, too. I thought "are we going to complete the circle???"

[Franchize41]

God damn Canadian feeds!!!!

you know we always get screwed, same goes for the superbowl

that may have been an alternate ending if they didn't get picked up

[flyer3468]

One question. Why did the terrorists waste 5 hours moving the nuke to Iowa from LA only to shoot it back at LA?

[UNC41]

God damn Canadian feeds!!!!

I guess North Dakota is too close to Canada, because I didn't get it either.

[bdb23]

that may have been an alternate ending if they didn't get picked up
:thumbsup Good point.

[dobyblue]

The show they had on PBS earlier today with Jack, Tony, Audrey and Marwan makes more sense now.
When Keifer stated that the gap in real time between S4 and S5 will be very short - I understand why.

[EatSleepJeep]

It's over?

[boiii]

ill be the first to go on record and say:

the first 23 1/2 hours of s4 -- there were intense & brilliant moments, but overall, the storyline fucking sucked. the grand scheme in retrospect was pretty amazing, but it played out very weakly. too many random shooting for sky concepts, and abrupt endings.

the last 1/2 of s4 (a.k.a s5 24 1/2 hours) was the best sequence in all seasons to date.

cheers.

[bdb23]

The nuke was stolen in Iowa.

[flyer3468]

The nuke was stolen in Iowa.

It was? I didn't know that. Thank you.

[EatSleepJeep]

It was? I didn't know that. Thank you.


Yeah, but get this shit, DoD lost contact with it because of the "MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN" :lol :lol :lol

Sorry all you people from Iowa, I always relate you to a Kevin Costner movie.

[dobyblue]

the last 1/2 of s4 (a.k.a s5 24 1/2 hours) was the best sequence in all seasons to date.

For me it was S3.18 - Chappelle's last waltz.

I agree that a lot wasnt up to top of the line 24 quality, but the first few hours were amazing too, with the whole terrorist capturing heller and behrooz, but after that it slowed down a little much

[twosteppn36]

fox site says its coming back Jan. 2006

[flyer3468]

Another thing, the people at the Chinese Embassy followed the helicopter by tracking them with satellites. Isn't that illegal to have spy satellites in another country?

true.

and very true. the start was right on.
and even more the slowing down, it just got weak after they saved the nuclear plants (with yes, few interludes of intense scenes).

cheers.

[Noles20]

That was my first season. I'm glad I got on board. I have all 3 seasons on DVD and have been holding out until this one was over. Now I can begin season 1, even though tonight's coming attractions kind of spoiled it for me.

[boiii]

ps: did the chinese guy's helicopter fly much faster then byrne's? i mean he left ctu some time after, got to a helicopter, and still made it to san diego in time to coordinate the landing of ctu's chopper, take out agents, and prepare a diablolical speech.

cheers.

:thumbsup same for me. I never do think I'd buy a season of anything on dvd, but if there was anything it would have to be one or all of the first 3 seasons of 24 since I haven't seen them too.

[flyer3468]

I just imagine the Chinese guy running extremely fast to the Benny Hill music.

I'm pretty sure it was Stringfellow Hawk piloting the Chinese guy's helicopter - so they stole Airwolf.

its still worth it, throughout season 4 ive been watching the DVD's to refresh myself on the past 3 seasons and its just as entertaining, the only bad part is obviously if someones death is in question in a previous season, you know whatll happen if theyre in season 4

[Crumbo]

I think everyone thought this may be the last season and that's why there was so much soapy crap

It's well worth buying a home theatre system if don't already have one to experience S2 and S3 in Dolby Digital 5.1
:)
(and to a lesser extent S1 in Dolby Surround.)

Plus they're all in anamorphic widescreen - much better for all the split screen scenes.

c'mon

don't you remember the silent helicopter outside the stadium from season 2 :lol

[flyer3468]

Season 2 is the only one I haven't seen yet. I started watching at Season 3 and I got the Season 1 DVDs. I'm probably going to go out and rent them starting tomorrow.

[taphntm]

I think everyone thought this may be the last season and that's why there was so much soapy crap

That was definitely my least favorite part of this season. I'd say that there were a couple of parts where it was interesting though. Especially seeing Jack basically lose everything all at once.

[hobi316]

Don't read this if you haven't seen the first 3 seasons...SPOILER










So season 1 was Nina being the mole
Season 2 was the Mexico, druggie thing with the Cobra folks and the Aussie chick
Season 3 was the virus in the hotel, who was the culprit in 3?

[Trippin4136]

Correction

Season 2 is the Nuclear attack and the Cypress recordings/avoiding war

Season 3 Jack is in Mexico for the first half

[dobyblue]

Season 1 Jamie was the mole before Nina was.

[killymagee2000]

[gravedigger13]

A rogue Jack would be much more believable than the Secretary's Assistant.

p.s. What happened to Behrooz?

[JimiThang1]

Did anyone else feel the elimination of the missile was somewhat anti-climatic?

[malonestar]

I have never been more into 24 than I am right now.

[malonestar]

Did anyone else feel the elimination of the missile was somewhat anti-climatic?

Not unless you were waiting for Jack to parachute out above the missle, land on top of it, and disarm it in flight at 600mph at the very last second.

[dmbriguy7]

Season 3 was the virus in the hotel, who was the culprit in 3?

Steven Saunders.


And yes, i did think the stopping of the nuke was a little under-appreciated. I thought midway through the final episode the finale was going to be horrible, but they really changed that around. I don't think I can say right now where I'd rank it in the finales (better than 1 or not) but it was damn good.

and i'm damn excited for next season...

[dreamingtree15]

Did anyone else feel the elimination of the missile was somewhat anti-climatic?

Definetly. I was waiting for the "wait a minute, I guess it DIDNT hit the missile....oops" It seemed too "easy". Yes, I know it took many hours to track down the missile, but they got all the info from one source, the little chip in the helicopter, then they had no trouble shooting the missile down.

Not complaining, I just noticed it had irregular ease.

[boiii]

not to mention that fighter jet found it in the air pretty easy.
considering they assumed it would hit a major city, why werent those planes already scrambling to try and find it its heat signature in the air in the major areas.

cheers.

[killymagee2000]

One thing I gotta give the writers a lot of credit for is creating the best femme fatales in tv land. Hot damn.

[Barkeep]

Just got done watching the last two hours from my DVR recording. Fucking awesome! With the exception of the last 30 minutes, as already pointed out, it was pretty intense.

Although I would've been disappointed in Jack's death, I was remembering Kiefer's quote a season or two ago saying that if the writers wanted to stay true to their theme of the shows unpreditability they would kill off Jack to show that anything could happen.

[dontwalkaway]

One thing I gotta give the writers a lot of credit for is creating the best femme fatales in tv land. Hot damn.

mandy = smoke show. hopefully she will resurface in the next season.
i thought that was a fair ending to the fourth season... but i must say, i didn't enjoy this season as much as the past ones. that's partially to do with the fact that it was so 'easy' for them to shoot the missle down. i mean, they could've done something a little more....... exciting.
regardless, good finale. :ggoat

[erik314]

i think season 5 will feature jack saving the baby seals from the clubbers. 24 hours of him running on the ice slitting throats, punching heads, and shooting dudes trying to kill seal puppies in canada. what else is he going to do?

[YknSTONE]

good ending.

I agree with the remarks on the missile though.

[joepsu0985]

Who was the chick that was on the bad side...Damn she was hot...And I also liked how they set it up for next season...

[JimiThang1]

Who was the chick that was on the bad side...Damn she was hot...And I also liked how they set it up for next season...
Mandy...she has been in 3 other episodes up to this point. First two episodes of season 1 and the last episode of season 2 which is the playback video they showed Palmer in the white house when they were comparing her picture.

[thegreatr1]

A few comments.

1. Mandy was played by Mia Kershner (I don't know if that was the question or not). She was also the Sarah Michelle Gellar character from cruel Intentions in Not Another Teen Movie.

2. I agree that shooting down the missle was CRAZY anti-climactic. They could have at least shown SOME wreckage. Even being shot down, it's bound to create some sort of damage. And yes, it was much too easy for the single jet to find it.

3. Obviously, with Jack being alive, he will be in season 5. A few friends and I were discussing the idea of Palmer getting elected again and bringing Jack back as a mercinary. An agent with no identity...does it get any better?

4. My only gripe with the possibility of season 5 is...NO TONY AND MICHELLE!!!??? Tony's character has evolved into one that is right up there with Jack on the good-guy list, and for Michelle, well, she's damn cute, among other reasons. Hopefully they will be written into the show somehow again. Also, please bring back Kim!


Overall though, after the missle being shot down, I thought I would be disappointed...but no, they turned it around and amazed me once again.

[mr.MikeD]

i missed it, what happened to berooz? did they ever show him specifically being killed, or anything? future terrorist maybe, revenge for dad and such - probably not.

[bdb23]

We didn't see anything about him after the transponders were destroyed (in his head and watch).

[emjohn]

I liked this season a lot. Losing the inane subplots (aka Kim) helped it tons. More engaging (love em, love to hate em) characters.

Next season could really be interesting, since they have a lot of freedom as far as where they want to take the show now. Jack gone underground/freelance could be a lot of fun.

Man that's weird. That's the second season in a row the Brits are getting early.

Overall though, after the missle being shot down, I thought I would be disappointed...but no, they turned it around and amazed me once again.

I think Tony and Michelle will be back. They are going to quit CTU from what they were talking about in the show. Chloe also doesn't work there anymore. And they are the only ones who know Jack is alive (except Palmer). The show works regardless of who is cast, though, as long as Bauer does the ass kicking. I still think Jack should join Vic Mackey's Strike Team.

So, I didn't watch a minute of this season's 24. But I did watch all the other seasons in their entirety, and enjoyed them. I was just wondering how you all thought this season compared to all of the other ones...

[JimiThang1]

Definately better than season 3 but not as good as season 1.

[tdowe99]

This is how i rate them....

Season 2 > Season 4 > Season 1 > Season 3

This is off the top of my head. I'd have to go watch all the seasons again to double check. :)

[kmano8]

im the same, 2 and 4 were close and 3 didnt do anything for me

[dreamingtree15]

So Buchanan doesn't know that Jack is alive? I thought for sure he would know, but then it wouldn't make any sense to tell Audrey that he's dead.

I thought they should have included Audrey in the deal, but I guess they are that intent on secrecy.

[yankees51]

Chloe seemed like a random person to have in on it. I predict that sometime next season someone gets hold of her and forces the information out of her (they wouldn't make Jack stay incognito forever, would they?).

[2stepsoright]

I expect Chloe and Edgar to be married next season.

People that need to be back in order of importance:
1. Jack
2. Mandy (so hot)
3. Tony
4. Curtis
5. Kim
6. Michelle
7. Chloe
8. Palmer (he is so low b/c of the low possibility that he will be back)
9. Edgar
10. Chase

[YknSTONE]

Oh, I must mention the way Curtis snuck up and took out Mandy was badass! layed her ass out. :lol

[lillerfm]

Here's what my buddy and I came up with...

The Chinese realize that Jack is indeed not dead, and make plans to kill him. Palmer decides that he wants Mandy's head on a platter, so guess who he calls? But while attempting to track her down and off her Jack stumbles onto something more sinister, maybe involving the new weasel president and that asshold aide that ordered Jack to be killed. I don't knwo what it would be, but it would have to be VERY sinister and VERY evil...but while this is all happening, the Chinese version of Jack Bauer is hot on the real Jack's tail...

[lillerfm]

Oh, and also, could somebody please tell me where I can hook up with some good WAV's of 24? I'm coming up empty on an internet search and searching this forum...thanks.

i'd watch this show, sounds pretty good.

[malonestar]

Anyone have the last episode(s) downloaded that they can transfer to me (FTP preferably)? I'd get the torrent but then I'd have to find a hole in our firewall, which I don't want to do.

[UNC41]

Does anyone know if the Asian or Chinese versions of the DVD's are much different than the American versions?

[JonnyJoyRidin]

Not a huge fan of Season 4...I thought Season 3 was better because it had more plot twists and the Salizars. And Nina was a nice little piece of ass too!! I did not like the new characters in season except Edgar and Curtis.

They can totally work Michelle and Tony back in the picture because she fired that chick when she came to CTU. The girl that they origianally blamed as the leak. She said she will pay for what she has done! And didn't Curtis get shot? I think they should move season 5 to NY for a change of scenery. And the asshole prez reminds me of Richard Nixon

[Pipsqueak]

I didn't feel like I had very many of those "Holy Shit! It's Nina!" moments like in Season 3.

But now...as I look back....The equivalents were probably, "Holy Tony Fuckin' Almaeda!"....and "Holy Hot Mandy!"

[flyer3468]

When Tony showed up I got the wind knocked out of me and my back went numb from chills. That was the only time anything huge happened, to me at least.

[Noles20]

This season was my first and I thought there were a lot of shocking moments. I would guess that if you watched from the beginning of season 1, you would begin to successfully predict or anticipate most surprises.

[lillerfm]

Okay, so my buddy...same guy that came up with the season 5 idea with me...works at St. Judes in Memphis.

He's walking around today looking for one of his patinets and turns a corner and stumbles into a tour group of celebs in town to play in the St Jude Pro/Am...as he continues past he sees Dennis Haysbert and Carlos Bernard (Palmer and Almeida) with the group.

Being the ridiculous 24 fan that he is he walked right past the security escorting the group, stuck his hand out and said "Thank you Mr. President for one of the best seasons of televison I've ever seen." They both laughed, said you're welcome and moved on.

My friend says he didn't get any work done the rest of the day...can you blame him?

I told him he pulled a "Mandy" on Palmer...

Are you looking for a soundboard or something like it? Or planning on making one?

[JonnyJoyRidin]

I have to agree that when I saw Tony comeback I jumped up as if my team won the Superbowl all over again. I never ever done that while watching a TV show and I was also numb. That was the ultimate highlight and one of the most memorable moments in 24 history!

I just worked on a TV show that casted Paul Blackthorne aka Steven Saunders from season 3. He was really chill and I could not get over that I was in the presence of someone who dueld with Jack Bauer!!

[erik314]

seeing tony blast through guns a-blazin' was so badass. :thumbsup

mandy: :hump

but jack with the self stab and the neck cutting take the cake. god jack is so f'in sweet. :24

[dobyblue]

I told him he pulled a "Mandy" on Palmer...
:lol that's awesome

Mandy showing up was not quite a "hell yea" for me as Tony showing up - but was definitely more of a jaw dropping "oh shit!" punch in the stomach than any other moment.
There have been a number of times when I've looked for Mandy and she hasn't shown up - so the end of S4 was very sweet.
The first time I looked for her was S2.4 where Jack is trying to get Joeseph to open the strong-hold he's in to find out who gave him the schematics for CTU. I swore it was going to be Mandy, but there was Nina. That was definitely the right move though. That's the first time Nina is mentioned since the death or Teri.

[bdfresh62]

Hey just wanted to post this in here. Not sure if it has been posted, I haven't seen any of Season 4 yet, so I didn't want to flip through 30 pages and get any spoilers. Anyways a 24 video game coming out sometime for the PS2.

http://ps2.ign.com/articles/600/600092p1.html


Again sorry if it has been posted. I didn't want to hear about what happened in Season 4 since I haven't seen any of it yet.

[Bartender84]

Oh man bd, you missed a great season. The best part was when Nina rose from her grave as a... oh shit, just spoiled it. Sorry.

[Dancing Ants]

Oh man bd, you missed a great season. The best part was when Nina rose from her grave as a... oh shit, just spoiled it. Sorry.

when Jamie came back as a zombie and ate Tony's face off. great episode....episode 4.2 i think.

[Bartender84]

Nah that was 4.5, 4.2 was when Mason rose from the desert in a huge cloud of radiation and proceeded to spew radiation all over the US. Remember, that's how the whole virus outbreak started.

And the final showdown between Jack and Mason, just incredible. Some people may think it was unrealistic, but Jack flying through the air into the Mason-cloud and ripping his head off was the pinnacle of this show.

...ok, I'm really bored.

[bdfresh62]

Wow seems like I missed alot.

[Mel4AU]

i'm about to start season 2!! i'm so excited.

[lillerfm]

Are you looking for a soundboard or something like it? Or planning on making one?

No, I'm looking to change sounds on my computer to 24 sounds...


Though a "24" soundboard is a great freakin idea.

[Noles20]

I am 3 episodes into season 1 and it is intense. I am forcing myself to watch them slowly.

[Mel4AU]

i could never do that to myself.

[ryguy178]

I am 3 episodes into season 1 and it is intense. I am forcing myself to watch them slowly.

I stopped watching after season 3 because it just got ridiculous, but season one was outstanding.

[JJMoran987]

great show, great season one of the best imo, and ive been watching em since day one week by week...... It is the best show on tv, and i cant wait to see how jack returns next year

[marlin1805]

Goddamn ... I finally watched the finale this weekend (had it saved on the tivo) and I cannot wait for next season. Holy crap, what a show!

[taphntm]

we need to start a new thread for the people that haven't watched the first 3 seasons or missed the first season where we get the dvd and watch it for one hour every monday. :lol

[zigbaldi]

This season was my first and I thought there were a lot of shocking moments. I would guess that if you watched from the beginning of season 1, you would begin to successfully predict or anticipate most surprises.

correct

[JimiThang1]

To all you Nina fans it looks as if Sarah Clarke will be on Lost at the beginning of the season:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/guests

[Bartender84]

It's IMDB. Those are the same guys who reported that Chase would be back for the last 5 episodes, that Trepkos would be in episode 8, and that Leslie Hope would be playing Aunt Carol in the finale.

Yeah, I'll wait until I get official confirmation of that.

EDIT: They're also reporting that an actor named Jensen Ackles will be playing Ryan Chappelle Jr., even though he's got another show this fall. However, the official book says he does have a son by that name, so that's why I put it in spoilers

[JimiThang1]

He was on smallville this past season and killed off. I dont' believe that.

[Mel4AU]

these torture scenes in season 2 are way gruesome. i LOVE it!

[flyer3468]

This thread needs to be topped



Oh wait, nevermind.

[RhodyDMBFan]

Does anyone have any pics of Mandy from episode 23 of season 4 when she had the white t on w/the leg holster??? She has never looked as hot as she did there in anything else she's been in, including when she's with women on The L Word. :hump

I missed the finale. I tried to find somebody who I know who taped the show but after a couple weeks I haven't been able to. Does anybody have a copy of the show? VHS or something to download I'm looking for anything. Please help.

[JimiThang1]

www.torrentspy.com

Download a bit torrent program like ABC torrent (search for it in google). Then go to torrentspy and search for 24 (episodes 23 and 24 are the finale) and just download the torrent file and open them and it will start downloading in ABC torrent).

some news on a character not returning next year


Saw on net that Haysbert is not returning as he has a new show. All other characters are slated for returns though.

:lorraine :(

[JimiThang1]

Well there could still be a possibility of him coming in again like this season. I read that his show was picked up for mid-season but CBS hasn't really committed it to a time slot yet and they didn't even preview the show or invite the cast to the upfronts in NY at the beginning of May. Alot of times networks make orders for mid season replacements but then the shows they have at the beginning of the season do well and there is no place for the mid season shows.

And click on the article at the top of this page that I posted. It gives the whole list of who is coming back.

[Mel4AU]

do you know what kind of show it is?

[JimiThang1]

It's called The Unit. It's about the life of Delta Force agents. Probably just filling the military quota for CBS since JAG has left.

[Mel4AU]

ooh, thanks. sounds good.

edit: :lol i never watched jag, but i may watch this

[JimiThang1]

I never watched JAG either. There is a military show coming on NBC that interests me this coming season called The E-Ring. It's about the goings on in the Pentagon. Plus Dennis Hopper is starring in it.

[Mel4AU]

i don't know dennis hopper. but i love stuff like that. so long as i can follow it all. :)

[JimiThang1]

Dennis Hopper is a great actor, he's been around forever. His most notable work was Easy Rider. He was the bad guy in Speed and also was the bad guy in season 1 of 24.

[Mel4AU]

gotta love the bad guys.

is e-ring going to be a west wing-esque show? because i don't watch west wing. . .

[JimiThang1]

I dunno...my guess would be yes since it will probably follow the politics involved in the Pentagon. Plus it is getting the West Wing's 9pm Wed. slot (which it will be up against Lost)

[Mel4AU]

whoops, there goes it for me. i am a lost junkie. and i'm too lazy to set the vcr. :rolleyes

[JimiThang1]

Yea i'll be watching Lost too...probably download the other.

[Mel4AU]

:lol too computer unsavvy to do that.

do you watch desperate housewives by chance?

[JimiThang1]

Yup...quality TV.

[Mel4AU]

:lol right on.

so what do you think about what someone in another thread said that either rex or jin(?) is dead? kind of a crappy scenario either way.

[JimiThang1]

Who knows...

[taphntm]

And you're gone! HAHAHAHA!
:lol :lol :lol

[Noles20]

I finished season 1. Holy Hell! That season evoked such a wide range of feelings. Anger, frustration, sadness, joy, shock, and the list goes on. That shows how great this show really is. I can't wait to start season 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DMBfan41]

As crazy as this is going to sound, I have a confession to make.

Because of the DMB webcast, and then I was on vacation for the next two weeks, I missed the last 4 hours of the day. I have had them on my Tivo.

Due to a lot of other stuff going on, I was not able to watch those final four hours until tonight. And I just finished.

And, all I can say is Wow! I really can't believe I went more than a month without finiding out anything that happened in those last four hours, and I am glad.

That final was just excellent.

So, Jack Bauer is dead. You Don't Know Jack. What the hell is going to happen on Day 5. I can't even imagine!

[gbs3769]

My parents rented the first 1/3 of the second season and I have the first four hours in my apartment so I get to watch them tomorrow. I can't wait. Hopefully I'll get all caught up before next season.

If you're a fan of Bill Simmons, you'll love this. From his "More Cowbell"

• Finally, when the Sports Gal was in the last stages of her pregnancy and spending much of her time lying down and saying things like, "Kill me, just shoot me in the head," and "I feel like I have an alien living inside me," I rolled the dice with the first three seasons of "24" on DVD so we would have something regular to watch during the times when she wasn't groaning and speaking in tongues. Well, we banged out Season One in five days. I'm not even kidding. Then she had the kid midway through Season Two – at this point, we were obsessed enough that I brought my laptop to the hospital and we knocked out two episodes the night the kid was born. Again, I'm not even kidding. And within two more weeks, we finished Seasons Two and Three.

I guess I have three points here:

1. Not only is "24" one of the 10 greatest shows of all-time, I will never forgive myself for not watching it sooner. This is like my "Sopranos" debacle all over again. When people keep telling me to watch a show, I instinctively don't trust them and decide not to watch it. It's a real problem. I might need therapy or something.

2. Jack Bauer has officially entered my personal pantheon of Hollywood cops/federal agents, right up there with Sonny Crockett, Johnny Kelly, Kelly Garrett, "Pepper" Anderson, Phil Esterhaus and Brock Landers.

3. If somebody from Fox doesn't send me an advance copy of Season Four, I'm going to commit murder.

[SatelliteEyes]

I am sure this was covered somewhere in this thread, but I'll be damned if I am going to hunt for it... so here goes.

What the hell happened with that kid Behrooz (sp?)? They sent him off in the van, are we supposed to assume that he was killed??

[WolfmanDMB]

i just purchased season 3 today. that completes the series for now.

Why does cliche always equal bad to some people? There's hardly anything that isn't cliche anymore, what matters is how it's pulled off, and this show did it emotionally and it was an great ending to the season.

*cough UNSTICKY *cough
hey now, dont be rash

[Mel4AU]

my blockbuster doesn't have season 3 and i can't yet afford the dvd set. i'm starting to get the shakes.

[clairearman]

this show must be really great. although i have not yet seen one episode. hey maybe this will get me to the movie store to check one out.

[Dancing Ants]

get season 1 and start there.

That is great and I totally know what he means about not watching something that's recommended to you. I was lucky enough to watch 24 from the airing of S1.1, but in the case of The Sopranos I never watched a single second of it. My roommate had all four seasons on DVD and early last year I decided to watch the first episode of Season 1. Well it only took about two months of weekends to have watched all four seasons. I think I need to go to the store right now and pick up Season 5.
Great show.

Here is the full article regarding the impending "24" movie (text from DarkHorizons.com):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A movie (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050617i.php#) based on the Fox (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050617i.php#) series 24 is in the works according to The Calgary Sun (http://jam.canoe.ca/Television/TV_Shows/T/24/2005/06/16/1090438.html). Whether it will be shot in real-time though is still up for consideration, says the show's Canadian director (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050617i.php#)/producer Jon Cassar.

"The last I heard, the first hour will not be in real-time, but then something big will happen and real time will kick in. It still has to be worked out -- it's at a stage where they need to write it" said Cassar

He will not predict a storyline for the big screen (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050617i.php#) version of the hugely popular show. He says the script will likely depend on what's happening on the series prior to the movie coming out. "It could still be two years from now, so it's far too early to say," he says, adding even if he did know, he wouldn't give it away.

[JimiThang1]

I'm sure it will be at least two years or maybe even longer before a movie comes out. They are going have to do the run of the series first before anything. And right now the order is for 2 more seasons and maybe even longer if Fox renews it in 2 years.

[Bartender84]

I still think it should be based on that operation (DAMNIT :twenty4, I can't remember the name of it at the moment, the one where Jack wet after Drazen). The first non-real-time part could be about the events leading up to it, and then the operation itself would be in real-time.

[JimiThang1]

Possible MAJOR spoiler for how the first part of next season will begin...this comes from an early draft so nothing is final yet (source E! Online)

Season five starts off in a foreign land, where our man Jack has been hiding. Time has passed, and he has a new hot little squeeze who has a 15-year-old son. And there's a devastating terrorist bombing that brings him back into the fold with CTU. Surprise, surprise.
