24 on Fox
Thursday, January 16th, 2003 - 10:57pm
Is anyone here following 24? I think it's been pretty good so far this season. The main plot is heating up, the subplots (save for the stupid Kim Bauer storyline) are interesting, and I'm really digging the fast pace.
Discuss?

I keep meaning to pick up Season 1. Actually, I''ve been saying that a lot recently for a variety of shows. I''ve heard great things about it, but never seen an episode. I always feel like if I miss even one, I''d be out of the loop.
I don''t want to be out of the loop. In the loop! That''s where I''m at!

I felt -- I feel -- that Shawn, Rob and Julian were making out with the game, and as their friend I felt it was important to point out that they were making out with an ugly chick. - Cory Banks, keeping it real
I like 24 but I''ve missed two shows this season and I''m lost. I hope they re-start this season on FX.

Me being the TV freak that I am in the winter months there are plenty of shows that have my attention, and I am glad to say that 24 is one of the shows I don''t miss.
I loved the first season, thought it was great but when I heard there would be a second I thought man what the hell are they going to do? Thank god I gave it a chance.
I am really enjoying the story again this year. I too find the daughter subplot a little annoying but the fact that the she is so dam sexy more than makes up for it.
I really don''t know how much further they can take this show, even this season has a lot of repeating themes, although they have thrown in some really nice twists. Unfortunately being a Fox production I am sure they will drag the show on for many seasons, until it is long past time to bury it than toss it without so much as a thank you. GOD I HATE FOX! I HATE THEM!

If I had a nickle for every time you''ve posited this defense I''d take that bag of nickles and club you in the head with them. Oh, it was all well and good until you defended Fastlane to me. ""yeah, it''s a crappy show, but that Tiffany Amber Theissen is so damn sexy ... etc."" You should hang your head in shame! Shame I tell you!

I, too, was a bit leery about a 2nd season, but I''m glad I''ve kept up. Some of it does seem rehashed, but I suppose the familiarity is part of it''s success. It''s nice to see some characters getting fleshed out, like the CTU head (His name escapes at the moment.. George, I think?) and Tony.
I thought the tie-in''s from last season were pretty cool, too, like bringing Nina back and pairing her up with Jack.
And, I concur on Kim Bauer''s hotty-ness. Man, is she bouncy.
I think she was in a recent issue of Maxim.

I am sucker for great looking women! I am weak I know this, and as the character Fez (that 70''s show) so apptly puts it ""I have needs!""
I will remind you however that nowhere in any of those posts where I have mentioned how hot the women are do I say that it makes the show any good. Only that I watch it because they are there.

I didn''t get to see season one, but have seen every episode of season two. Amazing show. I ended up going out and buying the season 1 set. The writing on that show is just so well done.

So did anyone think they'd take this show through 8 seasons? And is anyone other than myself actually watching?

I'm still watching, because I'm no quitter. I stayed with Buffy through s6 and 7, so as lame as 24 has become, it'll have to work a lot harder to throw me!
But the recent spoilers you mentioned, Great Chairman, have enlivened things.

I stopped watching this season after five or six episodes because Jack Bauer wasn't doing anything. Except that bit with the axe, that was awesome.
I was a fan to begin with. Seasons 1 and 2 were compelling. Then it got steadily stupider and stupider, and at the point at which Jack's long-last father turned up, I turned off.
That's a plot point lifted from a daytime soap, and is a seriously high-calibre shark-jump.

I only watched one season of 24 (season three) on DVD. I devoured it like candy over the course of a couple weeks, but I wasn't left with the desire to see anything else. How many bad days can one guy have?

I skipped back to the earliest thread to deliberately find an old one to reply to. Yes, I was that bored.

If this season ends with anything less than Jack putting a couple of bullets in former president weasel's face I'll be severely disappointed.

For all the hate I had for 24 it somehow managed to pull me back in week after week. I just finished watching the series finale and I have to say I am happy with how it all ended. It was very paint by numbers, and there were very little in the way of surprises but I got some satisfaction out of the whole thing regardless. I will probably see the movie when it comes out just so I can say I watched it all. Here's hoping for more craziness from Jack just like we saw in this final season.

I hope that Gaald agrees that the most dramatic scene was...
Also, I find it ironic that...

I hope you are kidding about that first bit. You already knew what she was going to do. They just dragged out the inevitable as long as they could. This show is too predictable.

I started watching 24 earlier this year on Netflix instawatch, but after several marathon watching sessions I've stalled in the middle of season 5. So far I've enjoyed season 1 & 4 the most. It till holds my interest but I can see some shark jumping off in the distance.

I said it could have been, but it built up perfectly to the end point.

I actually really liked part where:

Exactly the part I was going to reference. Great moment for the two of them, probably the only two characters I really felt any emotional bond between.
At the risk of reading into Jack's character too much, I think he is a modern-day American superhero, a mixture of Superman (all but unkillable, idealistic to a fault, fights for truth, justice, and the American way) and Batman (dark deeds and secrets he'll have to live with his entire life, exiled and vilified to save the country). Maybe 24 didn't need to be 8 seasons, but I never got tired of it. All in all one of the better TV shows in the past 10 years.
My only wish was that

But your plan failed, Peck. Failed hard.
I will only see the 24 movie, however, if it is in fact 24 hours long.

Yeah, this was my one and only real major disappointment with the finale.

I like that hours and hours later still nobody's noticed a stench from the dead guy rotting behind the wall in CTU HQ.
