Thisis also what I was thinking....

I mean, anyone else see the parallels between Palmers and Kennedy's...Wayne's doomed as far as I see it.

Going to have to repost...Spoiler tags don't work when you're quoting someone. So annoying. :shrug

[tedies]

just finished watching season 3. This was the only season i missed. I had a ton of stuff to do my senior year of HS and couldnt catch the show that often, but I must say it was the deepest of all the seasons and the darkest. I loved the idea of the bio-terror, and the story line was very good. I didnt get bored the entire 6 discs. I also think it was the first season where we saw jack so vulnerable. The ending where is was breaking down and just went right back to CTU was that point. I also think we learned a lot from the characters and Chloe being introduced was great. Her character from season 4-5 change drastically. On to season 4.
Season 3 is widely known as BADASS :thumbsup

[DMBBonas07]

I just watched the season 6 premiere dvd and watched the first 12 min of the new episode, I cant wait to see the whole thing!! Its looking like the next episode will be damn good

[HolyCow]

Can't wait for tonight. Gonna be good.

[Trippin4136]

Come on, it's not Monday YET

[HolyCow]

Argh. I was thinking ahead. :(

Ya know...now that you mention it. There is some stuff that coincides.

Can't wait for the wacko liberals to jump on the "24 is Republican Propaganda" bandwagon when they make that connection, if it does indeed happen. :rolleyes

[bradshaw06]

Don't know if anyone's seen this site yet.

http://www.jackbauerisgod.com

some of those are pretty funny

The city of Los Angeles once named a street after Jack Bauer in gratitude for his saving the city several times. They had to rename it after people kept dying when they tried to cross the street. No one crosses Jack Bauer and lives.:lol

[DMBBonas07]

"Jack Bauer" is Arabic for "I'm fucked". :lol nice site find

[Bron Yr Aur]

Can't wait for the wacko liberals to jump on the "24 is Republican Propaganda" bandwagon when they make that connection, if it does indeed happen. :rolleyes

This is so stupid, anyway, because there are quite a few things that make the show somewhat liberal in bent, if you ask me.

[tedies]

excited for tonight!

[Bron Yr Aur]

An hour and fifteen minutes before the new episode!!

[Tiduwho]

Brother?


No. Fucking. Way.

[shrimpco2]

Oh Shit... Jack's got a brother

[joepsu0985]

Holy shit...

Jack's bro was behind him getting kidnapped buy china. Looks like his dad is in on the attacks. Wow..this show just got 10x better. Jack's bro was on the show last season correct? We just didnt know it was his brother, right?

[bradshaw06]

Where is that dinky guy with glasses and an earpiece that is the Head of the Super Secret Adventure Club that were telling President Nixon what to do last year from? He's so familiar and I know I've seen him in a bunch of things.


wow .... we just found out who he is and i all i can say is wow...

[joepsu0985]

wait...So jack was with his brother's wife at one point?

[joepsu0985]

and was jack's brother on the show in the 4th or 5th season. I swear he was the one running logan's administration last year.

[41ravens]

daaaaaaaaammmmmmmnnnnn...good stuff.

and the award for character that i hate the most so far goes to...

the presiden't sister.

[dobyblue]

Wow!!!!!! What a great character tie in.

Jack's brother is one evil son of a bitch. Now that's why it's good to know the previous seasons.

[shrimpco2]

and was jack's brother on the show in the 4th or 5th season. I swear he was the one running logan's administration last year.

Yeah, the bluetooth supermans club.

[joepsu0985]

Wow!!!!!! What a great character tie in.

Jack's brother is one evil son of a bitch. Now that's why it's good to know the previous seasons.


He was in last season right?

[joepsu0985]

Yeah, the bluetooth supermans club.

Yeah i thought so. This may have been the best tie in out of all the seasons. This day is rocking so far. Damn...i havent been this pumped since day 1.

[DMBfreak41]

....shoot.

Man, good stuff.

I'm glad my parents and I caught up on all the seasons before the premiere

[DMBBonas07]

damn...cant wait for next week

[GSUdawg521]

Did anyone catch that phone number? It wasn't 555 I don't think :lol

[Jake]

clearly:

Jack is the father of his brother's son

[GSUdawg521]

clearly:

Really think so? That never occured to me.

No dude, that did not occur to us.

[joepsu0985]

clearly:

Jack is the father of his brother's son

Yeah...I said that out loud...My roomates called me crazy...

[41ravens]

clearly:

Jack is the father of his brother's son

my mind is blown. good call.

[nolan8or]

im so glad Gray got Bauered, awesome episode. that was a crazy twist

[joepsu0985]

Im really stunned by this season already...I cannot wait. After the end of the 4th hour the pedal has been floored...

[DMBfreak41]

clearly:

Jack is the father of his brother's son

thought that too, the look on their faces made me think that

[DMBBonas07]

hmm...yeah I can believe that

[Bron Yr Aur]

clearly:

Jack is the father of his brother's son

Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious. At first, I thought the brother thing was pretty odd, and I definitely don't think they were planning for that last season. However, the Graham Bauer character is fantastic, and the actor who plays him did a great job in this episode. You knew they had to throw in a set-up episode, and this one was a good one for what is to come next.

[HolyCow]

Hey, I downloaded a torrent of tonight's episode but it is a .rar file. Could someone help me figure out how to convert this?

Thanks.

[DMBfan41]

that i could have never predicted. But great twist bringing in the Bauer family! With all the Bauer's could we see a Kim sighting?

[Bron Yr Aur]

Hey, I downloaded a torrent of tonight's episode but it is a .rar file. Could someone help me figure out how to convert this?

Thanks.

Download Winzip or Winrar and that should do it.

[Beefsteak1138]

clearly:

Jack is the father of his brother's son
Yeah, the awkwardness when they saw each other made me feel like there was definitely more to the story there.

[malonestar]

[QUOTE=Jake;5504389]clearly:

Interesting theory, but I see a hole in it....

The kid is like 15 years old. Kim is in her early 20s. That would mean he was involved with his brother's wife at some point during his marriage to Terri.

[Matt]

First of all, thank you everyone for honoring the spoiler tags. I'm not reading Jake's "spoiler" because he's probably right. :lol

Anyway, I'm not sure what to think about last night's episode. On the one hand, it started off so strong - the fear and hopelessness that was felt in the Oval Office scene was incredible - when they started to move to the bunker, I simply said, "wow." It was a great scene.

However - I'm not so sure how I feel about the whole Jack's brother deal. Is it soap-opera-ish? Shit I hope not - but I'm not so sure. I'm glad this is happening in the 5th hour - which means it won't be the total focus for the entire day and a lot of questions will be answered by day's end. If it was a bombshell that they dropped in the 24th hour, I would have been pissed. I still don't know, though. I feel kind of how I felt in the middle of Day 3 - like I was in uncharted waters - which I guess I should be happy about. The writers are constantly shocking us regardless of the fact that we are in an environment where we expect to be. However, I do have full confidence in the writers that this won't get all General Hospital on us, and the pieces will fall into place regarding Jack's family that makes it all worth watching. I am anxious to see what the deal is, though, behind his family. Did they want to get rid of him (in China)? Why was Graham working with the President in Day 5, etc? It's all going to be super interesting to find out, at the very least.

I have to mention the end of the episode before I finish this post. A few pages back we were discussing best use of split screens, and I mentioned my favorite as 1.13 - the Cofell episode - as my favorite. Last night's isn't in that class, but wow - I absolutely loved it. Near dead silence with President Palmer addressing the nation. A few seconds into the address...the screen begins to shrink to the corner. Wow - what a way to end the ep. Class.

[Trippin4136]

I mean there has to be A LOT more to the story with Gray. No doubt Jack will find out his ties to Logan and how and why he was sent to China on his brother's bidding.

The line Gray said "his has the ability to dig up things you don't want him to" (or along those lines) lives the door open for some ridiculous shit to go down.

On another note, am I the only one who wants confirmation on what exactly happened to Logan now that Captain Bluetooth is back? Logan being taken away off an airfield is simply not enough for me.

With Jack's family it sounds like his dad and brother were behind him gettin jailed with the Chinese. His brother may have been planning this whole thing in the last season. I dont think they will get general hospitalish on us at all. Other than the fact with one thing. I think it will be minor.

Aw man, how do you quote my entire post and then spoiler the reply? I can't even read it! ;) :lol

[malonestar]

[quote=joepsu0985] Nah i would say early teens. But still, you may be right...

Regardless, his age still requires Jack to have not only cheated on Terri, but cheated on Terri with his brother's wife/girlfriend/love interest. Of course it is possible, but what we know of Jack I'm not sure they'd go there. He was with Nina during the time he and Terri were apart though...so we'll just have to wait and see.

[~Crashintome89~]

Can you lift my ban on making new threads now?

[Matt]

Can you lift my ban on making new threads now?
Aaaaand no. Looking back on what I said to you when I took the privs away, it looks like you STILL don't know how to read, as you haven't even followed the directions I spelled out for you on how to get them back. Wow. Don't chase me into one of the threads I like to beg for them back, either.

[AlpineValley804]

Okay, so I just watched the episode on myspace. Wow, never saw the Graham Bauer twist coming whatsoever. We're definitely in for a great season.

P.S. Graham's wife is a MILF.

[shrimpco2]

She is a paraplegic in 'Heroes'.

Fill me in. What's her name in real life?

My lower area is getting lonely. :lol

[HolyCow]

Just watched it. Wow.

I thought it was really good.

[tedies]

this is shaping up to be a great season.. i always like the thought of nukes going off as the ultimate rush for the show.. Im loving Jack this year more than ever and he should already be nominated for the emmy again

[joepsu0985]

sorry matt here is what i said. You guys need to fix that.

[JorgeCavos]

I thought of Jake's idea too. I agree that could be the case. This episode was a good transition episode. Not too much action, but enough story to make it interesting

No, the spoiler is working. But the fact that you put it in spoiler tags makes me not want to read it for fear of being spoiled! :)

[Tiduwho]

Question because I missed a lot of season 2 and 3: Has Jack's father or family ever been brought up or mentioned in the series at any point?

[joepsu0985]

no...jacks brother was in last season, except we had no clue he was Jack's brother.

[HolyCow]

Dang it. I saw a preview for next week's show by accident.

Fart. They need to tag their previews with spoiler warnings.

[dmb41nancies34]

just me or most intense season yet..??

[dmblynny]

I shouldn't even be IN this thread as I haven't seen the show yet. I have to wait till tomorrow cause my parents didn't TiVo it (I worked last night) and my friend is making me wait.. ohhhh the anticipation!!! :twenty4

[Bartndrpleez]

Tremendous episode Monday night! I finally had a chance to see it last night on the HD-DVR. What a freakin' plot twist! I can't wait to see how this thing with Graham and Jack's father unfolds. I was wondering how long it was going to take the show to delve deeper into Jack's personal life. The most we know about his family is through his wife and daughter, and now to see we have extended family out there...EXCELLENT!

I also thought it was interesting that one of the lines they used in the previews leading up to the season was actually used on Graham, whereas in the trailer for the premiere, it was some random guy. The line "You're hurting me." "Trust me, I'm not." Obviously they had to do that, otherwise that would have given everything away in the previews, but I just thought that was interesting.

Either way, as of this moment, I'm REALLY liking where this is going, and I KNOW its going to get better because...
Both President and Mrs. Logan are due to have episode arcs around midway through the season, so we'll DEFINITELY get background on Jack being in China and the reasons for everything happening the way it did!! Hopefully anyway! :haha

[dmblynny]

SO I still didn't see the new episode cause I've been sleeping in cause of these crazy work hours and my friend fails to call me to wake me up. :BANG Hopefully by Monday @ 9PM sharp I'll know what the hell is going on!


On a brighter note... I have only been greatly into 24 since last season (1st episode = instant passion) and haven't seen the other seasons aside from re-runs on A&E Monday mornings... well... one of my best friends' fiancee's friends (got that?) is allowing me to borrow S1-2 for now. I AM SO STOKED!!!! Just finished D.1 of Season 1... daaaaamn!!! Eventho I already saw 3 of them on A&E but still!!!! I can't believe Janet's 'dad' ended up not being Janet's dad. I should've known that was coming... :haha

[tankdan]

I feel that this is a good time to come back from my winter break hiatus and make my 1,000th post... Talking about "24" to a new fan is always a pleasure...

Yo. I'm glad you've liked what you've seen, but let me tell you this much... Janet's fake dad ranks very very low in the list of surprising revelations/moments throughout '24' history. In my opinion, it is absolutely worth sitting down and watching every season as soon as you can. It is darn fine television.

In fact, I'll go far as to say that last week's revelation, about Graham, was the single most shocking moment for me in all of '24.' Noone could have said "I should've seen that coming."

Anyway... I'm glad to see that '24' finally spent the extra money on making a duplicate Oval Office (finally!), but I'm disappointed that they've gone down to the bunker so quickly... I was getting used to have a president, ya know, NOT in hiding.

Finally, I agree with the speculation that Jack is the father of his brother's son. No doubt.

Thanks, folks, it's good to be posting again after a month away!

I've been a die hard fan since Day 1 (double entendre, so fun), and yet I'm too cheap to have ever purchased the best season of TV.

For some reason, $18 is too good to pass up. I'm buying it later.:thumbsup

I own Seasons 1, 2, and 4... Granted, it's not like I'm bored and pop in a disc and watch a single episode (impossible to do), but I love being able to lend out the dvds to other people in order to get them hooked...

It's like the Seinfeld dvds... I don't know why I buy them, I never watch them.

Maybe eventually I'll do a season-marathon again (how I saw Seasons 1, 2, and 3), but it's not really a show that's good if you only watch a single episode.

Dan

[Ev42]

i have all 5 seasons usally watch them before the new season starts. But poeple on hear started bring up how good season 3 was so i am watch day 3 this weekend.

[Bartndrpleez]

Less than 12 hours to go!!! :bounce

[HolyCow]

Excited.

[junior94]

Ya know, as much as I've ragged on 24 for awhile now as being perhaps the most absurd show on TV and don't watch it anymore (the ludicrious "twist" of the president as the villain was the final, FINAL straw for me, hell, when I'd been proclaiming since near the end of season 2 that I'd never watch the damn thing again because it had become way too ridiculous), I do gotta admit.... there was one particular TV promo cut for it that was pretty bad ass, and I thought of it again recently for the first time since then, and so much so that I wouldn't mind even being able to see it again. I've no doubt most of your freakish Bauer worshipers will know what I'm talking about :p

It was hearing the song on the radio again that was used that tipped me off. Anyway it was a special promo cut for probably back during either the 2nd or 3rd season, I'm not exactly sure, when there were only like maybe 6 or 8 episodes left in the given season. They used Creed's "One Last Breath" song, with the images and voiceover going for this special angle of how "when America needs a true hero, the only one we can turn to is Jack..." that kinda thing. As ashamed somewhat as I am to admit it, they way they used the song actually left a bit of a mark on me, I guess. Now I know on plenty of film DVDs on the extras they put on many of the 30 and/or 15 second TV promos that were issued at the time of release, do they do that on any of the 24 DVDs? (and if so would this particular one be on that season's set?)

Of course, now I'll sit back and pretend that any of you would even begin to want to truthfully answer that question, after I've come into your little cubby-hole and ripped on your show somewhat :p :lol

[DMBBonas07]

its almost time :)

[Ev42]

going to be awesome tonight.

[Tiduwho]

Wow, bro's a dickhead.


The Middle Eastern Chick still makes me feel uneasy, but maybe they're just doing that on purpose.

[tdowe99]

I don't think the ME chick is a mole; that would be too simple.
This week was ok.

[joepsu0985]

ahh...it is still setting the season up. Going to be real interesting how this ties in with Jack's family. Also what is up with the Prez's chief of staff?

[Ev42]

next week looks great

I think you're missing out. This season is starting out quite a bit better. And despite the ridiculous nature of the show, they still do it better than anybody else.

I think the writing on tonight's show was terrific, particularly during the Karen v Tom standoffs. And the end was also fantastic. I mean, you had to know Graham was going to turn around at some point considering his role at the end of last season.

[JorgeCavos]

This was another good set-up episode. Next week looks like it's gonna pick back up big-time

[bdfresh62]

Its going to be real interesting how this season ties into what he was doing last season. And the whole Chinese prison camp thing. It sounds like he wanted jack there to avoid him dealing with this, and that this was planned for a while. Talk about family respect. Graham, is going to be the biggest betrayal to Jack ever if the writers put that in play.

[Bartndrpleez]

^^ EXCELLENT writing tonight. The dialogue between Karen and Tom and also Karen and the president was tremendous! Not a lot of action, but we're really getting down to the meat and potatoes with Graham. I really hope Jack exposes him and figures out he was behind sending him to China. I PRAY that this happens!!!

Already can't wait for next week!!!!!

[joepsu0985]

This was another good set-up episode. Next week looks like it's gonna pick back up big-time

next week will be entirely filler and then soemthing big will leave us hanging.

[joepsu0985]

Also anyone notice that gaze between Jack and Graham's wife? That is going to be interesting also. The writers are opening the flood gates for possibilities this season. Im liking what i see so far.

[GSUdawg521]

The news (here) is lame. How pathetic is it when you have to trick people into watching your broadcast?

Last week after the show was over and before the next week's previews, they had a commercial and said one of their stories would be a behind the scenes on the set of 24. I had to run an errand but I sat around to wait for it. After a long time I had to give up and leave.

They did it again tonight, previewing a story on "why the stars of the show are concerned for the direction of this season" and 25 minutes into the broadcast it hasn't come up yet. :lol

[Trippin4136]

I thought tonight was terrific. I agree with the poster who praised the writing and dialogue. Both really helped energize the season and really dig deeper into the plot line. The Bauer family plot is going to explode.

I really hope Jack exposes Graham next week. I can't wait until that gets out in the open!!

I think Karen's resignation speech to Palmer will light a fire under his ass and he won't fall victim to Lennox's shit.

The combination of Jack not knowing about what Graham has done (although there were vibes in the car that he may have) and that they don't know the nukes are unactually inactive is quite a twist.

Excellent episode, I already can't wait for Monday.

[tdowe99]

It's cool we got the official spelling: Graem

[GSUdawg521]

It's cool we got the official spelling: Graem

Agreed. After that last episode I couldn't tell if his name was Gray or Graham

[tdowe99]

Actually, it's both. :)

Jack seems to call him Gray.

[GSUdawg521]

Yeah, I thought Jack called him Gray

[HolyCow]

I thought tonight was alright. Seemed like a really nice setup for future events more than a stand alone episode. Still solid though.

Is it just me or is the girl with the guy thats trying to find the detonation(sp) devises Kate from season 2 or 3? maybe I'm crazy but it really looks like her. Anyone know anything about this

Nah, that's definitely not her. Kate was much taller and didn't have such a deep voice. She was from season 3.

[Matt]

Nah, that's definitely not her. Kate was much taller and didn't have such a deep voice. She was from season 3.
Actually, Kate was in Day 2. She had a cameo in the first hour of Day 3, I believe, but that was it.

[Bartndrpleez]

Oh yeah! I got confused. I was thinking about the Salazars in season 3 for some reason. But thats right, Kate and her sister were season 2, not 3. I hope Jack Bauer doesn't come looking for me now because I screwed that up...:o

[watchtower86]

I think that Graem and Tom Lennox are too of the best characters on this show in awhile. Graem's background and both of their sniveling weasel acts make me just want to punch them in the head so badly. Great characters.

Karen Hayes and Tom were great together because they were so opposite, yet so the same. Tom is trying to do good things... like he has good intentions, but he is such a weasel.

I think Tom is a douche and it's awesome how the show seems to be playing off of the complaints of the Patriot Act by much of the public. It almost reminds me of V for Vendetta, where it's almost warning what could happen if people take things to extremes.

But that's the sign of a great character. You hate them for everything they are and feel so strongly about them, but they're not even real.

[AlpineValley804]

Just watched last night's episode and thought it was fantastic. Great character-driven suspense, and I loved the open political forum that was going on for about the first twenty minutes.

[tankdan]

...But that's the sign of a great character. You hate them for everything they are and feel so strongly about them, but they're not even real.

I was telling my buddy after last night's episode my following belief:

Yes, I hate Tom Lennox. However, I don't think that makes him a great character. I simply believe that it's ridiculous that they can make a character 100% jackass and then be praised for making a "great" character... In real life, people in that position, would not, I hope, backstab so quickly and be in such a prime position to manipulate the president. In real life, I hope, it would be like David Palmer when he handled Sheri "DAMNIT, Sheri, why must you keep manipulating me?"

Above all, I think Tom Lennox is more annoying that hate-worthy. I think what evokes the most hate is that he goes along uncontested, just like that weasel last season ratted out to the president (when he was about to shoot himself) and then got away with it.

I don't know, I'm just rambling. Time to take a nap.

well I would not say he is "100% jackass". Yes he fucked over karen and yes he is going behind the presidents back but i dont think he is like a bad guy. He has stuck up for the president quite a few times and we still have a lot to find out about this guy. very interesting character imo

i missed the first two days (sun, mon 2 hours each) so i had some catchin up to do, finally found someone i word with had the first 5 hours on vhs so i broke out the vcr and got back on track with a little two night 5 hours and now i'm back in business just watched mondays episode last night and i enjoyed it. love this show and love jack even if he did pop a cap in curtis (bullshit) i was wondering about who the new field agent is gonna be jack has always had a number two tony and now curtis who is the next doomed soul or maybe the next number two will be the new jack cause he can't live forever forgive my blasphomy(sp?). it was funny cause i was watchin last night and i thought maybe it would be the guy outside in the truck talkin to chloe while jack was inside with grahm but that ass had them killed. also didn't like the spoiler from scenes from next week the kind of gave it away

i didn't like that we see jack already gets away from grahm but boy do i feel sorry for grahm now that jack knows what is really goin on and has him captured boy jack is gonna f you up

And now, back to Bauer talk

[DMBBonas07]

today is the day! cant wait till 9pm rolls around

[Bartndrpleez]

WOOOOOOO! 1 hour 20 minutes!! :multi

[johnpcoyne]

what's the over/under for how long it will take jack to escape from his brother

ill say 16 minutes

[Tiduwho]

Bauer.

[watchtower86]

I bet the guy they need is Morris.

Edit: And it only took him 9 minutes

[Tiduwho]

I bet the guy they need is Morris.

Edit: And it only took him 9 minutes

It's gotta be someone we know, or else they wouldn't be playing his image up.

[bradshaw06]

wow jack freaked out! but i guess its to be expected, a bombshell was just dropped on him

[joepsu0985]

Holy hell....There it is. The big whammy. I cant believe Graem ordered all of that. Wow...just wow.

[ProudestAnt]

Good call on Morris boys. Anxious to see where they're going with Jack's family...

[watchtower86]

Jack's dad is a sicko. Saw that one coming once he walked in to talk to him. Called it on Morris.

[Tiduwho]

Papa Bauer!

[johnpcoyne]

I bet the guy they need is Morris.

Edit: And it only took him 9 minutes

nicely done :thumbsup

[joepsu0985]

Wow...wow...next week is going to be huge. 2 hours.

[bradshaw06]

just wow, speechless

[clayj41]

Yeah, the whole Morris thing was a bit anti-climatic, but I liked the ending with Jack's dad.

[bdfresh62]

Wow. Great episode tonight. Its nice that they are playing all the family angles. 2 hours next week!!!!

[JorgeCavos]

Awesome episode tonight. Next week looks amazing

[Tiduwho]

2 hours next week? I didnt' know that at all......so it starts at 7 next week then?

[bdfresh62]

2 hours next week? I didnt' know that at all......so it starts at 7 next week then?

No I'm assuming it starts at 8 and goes to 10.

[DynastyDrummer1]

even though i figured jacks dad was gonna kill graem im still kinda upset. i wanted to get to see more of his character, but oh well, hes the asshole that ordered the assassinations...

and i love the whole morris thing even though it was pretty predictable.

cant wait for next week

[DynastyDrummer1]

No I'm assuming it starts at 8 and goes to 10.

correct sir

[HolyCow]

Intense.

That is the only word I had for tonight.

[DMBBonas07]

Intense.

That is the only word I had for tonight.
yep, im looking forward to next week :thumbsup wonder what big shockers we are going to get now. Im also curious why they decided to give us 2hrs for next week

[clayj41]

No I'm assuming it starts at 8 and goes to 10.

Actually, he's on central time so it will start at 7 for him.

[bdfresh62]

Yeah I was surprised and excited to see 2 hours next week, mid-season... we will probably get to see what happens w/the bombs. Great episode tonight

[Bron Yr Aur]

Damn good episode...some strong stuff with Jack going at it against Graem....extremely well done. And I loved the twists with Morris and Jack's father...holy hell, they did good with this episode.

I was really pissed after Jack and his dad got away so easily from the killers early in the episode, but I guess it all makes sense now.

[Trippin4136]

It's 2 hours next week b/c I don't believe it's new on President's Day Monday. But I could be wrong about that.

[bradshaw06]

It's 2 hours next week b/c I don't believe it's new on President's Day Monday. But I could be wrong about that.

i think it is, they say the season runs uninterupted

[41ravens]

very good ep last night. so far i'm very glad that i started watching this show again.

[Bron Yr Aur]

It's 2 hours next week b/c I don't believe it's new on President's Day Monday. But I could be wrong about that.

Yeah, 24 has been continuous, without any breaks for a few years now, so I'm pretty sure it's 2 new episodes.

[AlpineValley804]

Damn, fantastic episode last night. So intense and Jack trying to comfort Graem while interrogating him. Great episode all around. Definitely one of the season's best so far.

[tedies]

shaping up to be a great season so far... jacks dad definitely is going to be doing some things to jack i cant even think about

[dmblynny]

Wow...wow...next week is going to be huge. 2 hours.
Thank goodness I'm off of work... I don't know how I feel about this whole Philip Bauer thing... kinda too predictable in my book but it's still surely gonna be an interesting season!!!!

[dmblynny]

shaping up to be a great season so far... jacks dad definitely is going to be doing some things to jack i cant even think about
I can't deal with any torture again!!! I can take shit like that in movies, shows, etc but for some reason when I see Jack being gutted or burned or whatever I can't even watch! Lord knows there are other deceptions that will take place tho between those two tho...:freak

[xBigNastyx]

I actually think this season is too farfetched and twisted...

I loved David Palmer as president, but not Wayne so much.

And I think the family thing is FUCKED up and so out there it's insane.

First off, the dad looks NOTHING like Jack or Graham, and there's no way he could be their dad.

Graham and Jack could never be brothers.

And how can one brother be a hardcore terrorist and the other opposite, and the dad kills one of them and all that shit?

Too out there...

My mom said it PERFECTLY, when Jack busted in Graham's house last week, and had Marilyn and Josh escorted out, my mom said "with the way this show is lately, she'll end up being the bad guy"

And I thought, that's insane mom. But to be honest, it's not witht he way the show is lately. It's starting to get the point where everyone is a traitor and it's just SOOOO unrealistic. I LOOOVVEE every season, but this season has been weak so far IMO. I am not a fan of the family shit going on with Jack. I like how they are incorporating his family in it, but not this way.

I dono, just my thoughts.

[joepsu0985]

I dont think so. I mean this season has tied in Jack's brother and family with the last season, possibly even with the 4th season.

Its a TV show, family members dont have to look alike. Hell we dont even know the back story, they might be step brothers.

I think the terrorists are pretty accurately displayed on the show. Season four wasnt that great, and the villain wasn't that great, but he shared some ideas with some mainstream terrorist groups out there.

Also, I dont think Marilyn will be a problem. Something tells me that Josh is defiantly Jack's kid, and those two defiantly had an affair. I think you are judging the family story too soon. We barely scratched the surface. Its probably going to go much deeper this week. You know the writers of 24 build story lines up for a few weeks then end an hour with a big impacting scene that carries over to next week. With two hours tonight, I think this may be it.

[joepsu0985]

I just finished up season 4 and half to say that I did not like it very much. Audrey drives me up the wall. Logan was a little bitch. The whole Tony and Michelle thing was played out for nothing. They die in day 5. How they took out the missile was lame. Really lame. Audrey once again, pisses me off. Driscoll was a total bitch.

The Good...

Chloe's character really developes.
As does Edgar's
Mandy coming back was good too. That answered my question as to who tried to assassinate Palmer at the end of Season 2. I missed season 2 so i didnt pick up on that the first time i watched season 4.

[Bron Yr Aur]

Season 4 started out pretty well, but it went way too big at the end....same for S5.

I do think S6 is starting out better than any since S3, though....2 hours tonight, hell yes, only an hour away.

[Tiduwho]

Bitch!!

[Tiduwho]

Can't wait to see Fayed betray and kill that slut.

[Tiduwho]

There's no way that after that fire alarm and CTU seeing which room they are still in, that those events could have just happened, and now there'll still be time for morris to program a nuke trigger, and then for them all to get away.

[joepsu0985]

Wow...its the Russians behind this. Crazy...They are still not letting us know the whole story about Jack's Dad's business.

[HolyCow]

Wowzers.

[DMBfreak41]

indeed

[joepsu0985]

This season is going to get real deep. So far, the plot line is going all over the place. Except for the fact that we know Jack's dad is behind this now. And Jack doesnt.

[bradshaw06]

looks like jack finds out next week

[Tiduwho]

looks like im spoilering

I'd edit that out while you still can..

[bradshaw06]

I'd edit that out while you still can..

it was in the preview though

[joepsu0985]

I guess someone watched the previews...:banned

[joepsu0985]

I dont watch them anymore...they have been giving too much away this season.

[bradshaw06]

sorry guys didnt know something in the preview was considered a spoiler:o

[bdfresh62]

I enjoyed the 1st episode better than the 2nd. Anxious to see what happens with Wayne Palmer and how Tom get connected in with it.

[bradshaw06]

jacks dad is a sick man...

[bradshaw06]

if i were morris i would have given in a long time before that drill was pulled out

[Gonzo#34]

jacks dad is a sick man...


he is the best character on the show right now though. Also with morris you knew he was gonna arm it b/c otherwise theres no show. It's 24's only fault :(

[OlivePoet]

I enjoyed the 1st episode better than the 2nd. Anxious to see what happens with Wayne Palmer and how Tom get connected in with it.

I think Tom is gonna give up the itinerary like he was asked to, but change the plans last minute and save Wayne.

[xBigNastyx]

First of all, it was completely ridiculous how Fayed magically escaped. That is complete bullshit and would NEVER happen or come close to happening. Another thing that was really stupid, when they were following Darren McCarthy from the air, they would have had the local police on the ground and he would NOT have gotten away so damn easily. That was ridiculous.

This season is very disapointing so far. To me in previous seasons, they seem to think about these type of things and say "yeah guys this won't work because it's too farfetched". This season it seems like anything goes and it's all over the place.

Ahh...Its a little unbelivable. There was the explosion and gun fight though. They probably had it planned to get him out of there.

[jeff edwards]

Sure you would:lol

[bradshaw06]

Sure you would:lol

?? yes i would have given in before he did... he lasted a very long time and took alot of punishment that I personally wouldnt have wanted to go through.

[joepsu0985]

Marwan did escape during season 4 from the warehouse. They had him in custody and they were ambushed.

[joepsu0985]

So does day 6 have to do with the Russian President signing the peace treaty in Day 5?

I think there is going to be a definite connection.

[Tiduwho]

You have to remember, that Graem was behind everythign in Season 5. I just started watching that again.

So Palmer was killed b/c he knew about the nerve gas comming into the country and who was behind it? I guess we will find that out this season.

[tedies]

their previews really suck... I told myself not to watch it and i did anyways... I want to be cliffhung :twak

[Bartndrpleez]

The only downfall for this season, in my eyes, is its predictability. Its been very entertaining, and watching the show for as long as I have, its nice to get to know Jack's personal side finally. But I saw almost everything coming that happened last night. It ALMOST ruined it for me, almost...

[domi0036]

OK, so, I started watching 24 for the first time this season and I think it's the most amazing thing I've seen. All I want to do is lock myself in my house for the next week and buy the first 5 seasons.

How do the other season's compare to 6? I'm not looking for specifics, IE Season's 1,3,5 are better....but I mean, the first 8 episodes are pretty intense, is that how the other seasons have been?

This season is up there with the best. My favs are S1 and S5.

[skiddiet]

This is the first time I've been watching 24 week by week, I've just bought/rented the dvd's for each previous season.

I'm suprised that Jack being in America hasnt caused any more riffs in the plot - I mean, except for the last 8 hours, He was in China - getting tortured.

my biggest question is what did palmer do to get Jack out of China? This WILL come back, if not this season, then next.

Ahh, i dont wanna think about, thats the advantage of the DVD's, no need think, just put in next disc.

NO- Palmer did that for another reason, Jack was already in America...

uhm, this season sucks. why is CTU the most unsecure place to work at? I worked at a call center that was more secure then CTU.

[Trippin4136]

uhm, your handle sucks.

While I agree the swiss cheese mentality of CTU and the constant bombardment of ultimatums is tiring, it's still damn good, provocative television.

If it was secure then we wouldn't have as many traitors... and so far this season there hasn't been any leaks at CTU so what are talking about??????

[tankdan]

All I'm saying is that, if there is a mole at CTU this season, I will not watch the show anymore.

Writers: "What's better than Jack being blackmailed to kill the future president? Actually killing said president and making it look like Jack did it. What's better than that? Jack torturing another president. What's better than that? Killing another president, except this time, it'll be someone inside his admin."

Writers: "What's better than a nuclear bomb being diverted to the desert near LA? Setting off nuclear power plants near LA. What's better than that? Terrorists actually launching a nuclear bomb, but then the Air Force hitting it. What's better than that? FIVE nuclear bombs, one going off in an LA suburb."

Seriously... enough of the same tired story lines... I don't want to hear anything more about Russians, Arabs, nukes, presidents, or moles. Let's just take things in some other direction.

Dan

P.S. Yes, Season Three is my favorite... Couldn't you tell?

[jeff edwards]

All I'm saying is that, if there is a mole at CTU this season, I will not watch the show anymore.

Writers: "What's better than Jack being blackmailed to kill the future president? Actually killing said president and making it look like Jack did it. What's better than that? Jack torturing another president. What's better than that? Killing another president, except this time, it'll be someone inside his admin."

Writers: "What's better than a nuclear bomb being diverted to the desert near LA? Setting off nuclear power plants near LA. What's better than that? Terrorists actually launching a nuclear bomb, but then the Air Force hitting it. What's better than that? FIVE nuclear bombs, one going off in an LA suburb."

Seriously... enough of the same tired story lines... I don't want to hear anything more about Russians, Arabs, nukes, presidents, or moles. Let's just take things in some other direction.

Dude my guess is you won't be watching this show after this season.
I guarantee there is a mole in the CTU. Always is always will be. What other direction would you like the writers to take it Dan?:twenty4

[dmblynny]

So I've been watching Season 3(basically the last 3 discs since 4PM however I went bowling for a few hours in between but aside from that...) and I'm on 11A-12P right now and I am in shock to how many times I've A. been in tears(everything with Michelle & Tony >> Jack having to shoot Chapelle >> etc) to B. had goosebumps all through out my arms to my legs and C. to how many times my breathe has been seriously taken in the fact that I did not expect nor could I believe the actions that were taken by the majority of the characters in this show... (2 seconds ago I thought Steven was going to let his daughter die in the 'Chandier Plaza:confused ' with the rest of the 800 people who are aleady in body bags at this point but he gave in for as far as I know right now) MY MIND IS BLOWN... I cannot even imagine how this season is going to end, and thank goodness I have Season 4 sitting right next to me(HA!) cause who knows (most of you probably do) know how Season3 is going to end. WOW...

just had to go off for a second or 4 cause it's just that exhilarating/sentimental/amazing... and in some ways I am glad I JUST started watching 24 right in the beginning of Season 5 cause I would be going nutso with anticipation (esp. Season 2's ending) cause I know David Palmer and Jack will be alive (now and in the beginnging of Season 5:lorraine )

Anywho... glad there's a place I can go off about this show.. haha....:o :o


P.S. I am so disturbed *was in Season 1 but evenso more now with Sherry Palmer. David is the best man that ever lived and for her to keep deceiving him and trying to get revenge on him when she was the greedy, selfish, ignorantly proud bitch that she is, I hope I get to see her get what she deserves either in the last hour and a half of this seaon or the next...

Hopefully I make some sense. HA!
As for this season... I am looking forward to finally going home to my rents house to watch last weeks 2 hour episode... unfortunately I work 7p to 11p but I'm pretty sure my Pops is gonna TiVo that for me as well....


nite nite all!! :rolleyes

Actually, I think that they were headed in a great direction during the first episode... Barring restrictions set in place by previous storylines (Jack being in China), it would have been awesome for Jack to be a part of a martial-law scenario (like "The Seige") during an intense, five-month assault on American cities. Not one big threat, but multiple threats. No nukes, just suicide bombers (like the real world).

Also, I don't think it would hurt the show to leave the president out of an entire season. Granted, presidents are keyed in to serious domestic terrorist situations, but I would like a closer look at CTU and a chance to avoid all the over-dramatization of a president being on screen (Russian terrorist treaty, assassinations, treason...). Let's just focus on CTU, maybe visit another CTU branch (anywhere, just please leave Los Angeles occasionally!).

Finally, moles are fine and have been a central theme in the suspense of the show throughout the years. In addition, I think that this season's inclusion of Jack's family in the "mole" scenario is a good angle. However, I think it would be a little cooler if there wasn't a mole in CTU every season. I would prefer the idea of someone trying to hack into CTU or to use a diplomatic cover to enter CTU physically, but it's simply unrealistic to think that we could have THIS many traitors working in top anti-terrorist organizations.

That's all for now, thanks for reading.

[dmblynny]

Seeing Tony in handcuffs just hurt my heart and this Brad Hammon(d) guy can go f%ck himself. I just hope Wayne works something out for David and now Sherry is getting into her car as Julia his calling him. DAMN this show!!!:haha

[tankdan]

Jolynn, it's hard to remember where you are in the great sequence of things...

Just know that Sherry Palmer is the devil.

HAPPY MONDAY!

Dan

[dmbmuskie]

I'm only a casual fan of the show, but I hate watching the preview for next week. I always manage to accidentaly see it watching something else on FOX, and it drives me crazy.

dan, you make some great points -- we do see a lot of repetitive themes throughout the different seasons -- there is a lot more that they could do with the show , however im not very picky , so i am just sitting back and enjoying the show .......... its go time!

ever notice how the bad guys watch a news show with graphics that look like CNN and the good guys watch Fox News?

[Tiduwho]

:lol Never noticed the CNN thing, but I knew they watched a lot of fox news. I figured the obvious, because they are on Fox. I'll have to look out for the other thing though.

[Tiduwho]

Ex-President Handbag??????????

[clayj41]

LOGAN!!! :eek

[HolyCow]

Who is Charles Logan? Someone catch me up there.

[clayj41]

Who is Charles Logan? Someone catch me up there.

The ex-President from last season...

[DMBfreak41]

Didn't think Logan would appear now

To think, Evil Dad Bauer was the farmer from Babe

[bradshaw06]

logan!

[tdowe99]

To think, Evil Dad Bauer was the farmer from Babe

And the inventor of Warp Drive! </nerd>

[icanfeeltherain]

fuckin LOGAN!!!

[icanfeeltherain]

anyone get that phone number jack called??

[HolyCow]

The ex-President from last season...
Aha.

Thank you much.

[bradshaw06]

alot of focus on morris this episode

[DMBCubs25]

haha i love when the episode ends with tom lennox tied up with tape over his mouth

[joepsu0985]

Holly hell...Didnt think he would be back soo soon.

This is going to get really interesting. So was the nerve gas of last season really a way to possibly rid of Gredanko? (sp?) Could Logan's admin really have been trying to get rid of the nukes with that?

[Tiduwho]

anyone get that phone number jack called??


Haha! I didn't think of that. It was a 312 number, and if I remember right that's actually a chicago area code, no?

[icanfeeltherain]

Haha! I didn't think of that. It was a 312 number, and if I remember right that's actually a chicago area code, no?

ya i was a little slow to catch it...im thinkin its another one of those numbers you can call

[johnpcoyne]

no it was a 310 #, which is LA

[joepsu0985]

ya i was a little slow to catch it...im thinkin its another one of those numbers you can call

call for what?

[icanfeeltherain]

call for what?

every season they show a (real) phone number and if you are smart enough to catch it, you can call and it goes to some "24" voicemail...you are encouraged to leave feedback on the season and stuff, but everything ive ever heard is that the mailbox is completely full

but a couple weeks ago they showed a real number...so i dunno if this is one or not

[nolan8or]

wow, i did not see that ending coming at all. didn't think chad lowe was gonna do that to lennox either. what a great episode.

oh and bauer's unneccesary punch on the hostile in the hotel room was awesome

[joepsu0985]

didnt know that.

neither did I until my roommate told me, then gave me the number

[bdfresh62]

Awesome episode tonight. Nice to see the character development with Morris. I honestly thought they were going to kill Jack. I was just thinking he always escapes, what if they ACTUALLY kill him here. Interesting to see how the whole Logan thing turns out and also what happens with Wayne.

If Jack died now how would they finish the next 14 hours? plus the next 2 seasons? Bring back Tony, thats my answer

[Pengin4192]

I wonder if Logan went to jail at all, or if he's under some kind of house arrest

[Bron Yr Aur]

One of the best episodes of the season so far, for sure. Great stuff. Kinda left wondering what the hell happened to Gradenko, but I thought the rest of it was pretty brilliant. Particularly the ending. Liked the Morris angle and his character development, for sure.

Yes this episode was what i was waiting for all season. It really does open up where it can go. Morris is becomming a replacement for Edgar in a sense that they are developing his character much in the same way. With Edgar his defining moment was in Day 4 where his mom died and he stopped those power plants from reacting. Morris, though is a former alky who made a device that could do some serious damage.

[jsjeff]

I enjoyed when Jack gave the gun to Marilyn and asked her if she knows wha to do. and she said no so he says
"point and shoot"

[dmb41nancies34]

wow best season ever

[Pengin4192]

I was thinking the same thing. Great instructions; like any idiot couldn't figure that out.

[bradshaw06]

the kid could have gotten away. i would have been out the door as soon as i heard gramps say he would kill me.

[joepsu0985]

This season is starting to become one of the most entertaining...Im hooked on it. I wish i had the DVDs i would watch them from start to finish...Somethign that I havent done since the first season...Which i did in about 3 days.

[cottlerocket]

Wow! I've never watched this show. I don't think I'm going to start now.

[joepsu0985]

^^^wow...we dont care what you watch...its your loss...I heard MTV has great new shows on.

[joepsu0985]

great season so far...

[joepsu0985]

well might as well make it 9k in here....
