Jack Bauer: Teeth of Doom (24 - Season 6 Premire) *SPOILERS*
I may never be able to brush my teeth again!
I challenege you GWJers to convince me that it is even possible to kiil someone with your teeth!
Go forth and find me proof.

I've seen Season 2, and I found S6 Ep4 no less enjoyable for it.
No less enjoyable, sure, but a stunner ? Don't mean to be a pain, but I just can't imagine being stunned by something I've already seen happen on the show before.
The show needs to be refreshed. The president was a bad choice, that actor just doesn't have it in him. Using the Arab line again is also rather blah.
At this point I wouldn't mind seeing Jack Bauer throw punches at the Russian president who is under mind control to initiate a war with the Japanese, and in fact have the entire show take place in Japan. This is where Jack also learns how to use katana and in fact uses it to slice various Spetznas operatives and ninjas in half.
Show me something new, Jack !

I'm going to carefully avoid posting any spoilers and suggest that you rewatch season 2 if you think this particular event has happened in the show before.

It hasn't aired yet, but yea I agree with Podunk. Watch S2 again if you think this has happened before, it really really hasn't.
My days of not taking you seriously have certainly come to a middle.

The CTU Chloe-Morris drama seems excessively annoying and silly. As for the rest of it, it's good so far.
Could you kill someone with your teeth? I think if you were determined enough, possibly. The carotid and internal jugular vessels aren't that deep, though they are protected by the carotid sheath ("an anatomical term for the fibrous connective tissue that surrounds the internal carotid artery and related structures in the neck"). The external jugular is outside that sheath, but I have no idea if it has enough bloodflow for someone to bleed out so quickly.
Also, it could be that Jack is a vampire.

Who's Jack Boyer?
Sorry, my bad, its BAUER.
But back on point, he killed someone with his teeth. HIS TEETH!
"He burns at the center of time and can see the turn of the universe."
Agreed. I called Zeegirl up right after this happened. Damn near stunned. He killed a man with his f*cking FACE!
So far this is shaping up to be the best season of 24 yet. Season 5 was fun but the plot was a little over the top. This one is so plausible it's scary. Good on Wayne Palmer for being president.
You can't do this!

Stylez, did you really use the word "plausibe" in relation to 24?? Man if we weren't friends I would slap you for saying that. Plausible....with his teeth...brain hurts...
"He burns at the center of time and can see the turn of the universe."
Oh, him
I figured it out eventually.
Most impressive, the teeth thing.
I think I'm up to 8:00 am in the first season so I need to watch 5.66 seasons to get to the teeth killing.
If I rent the DVDs, and assume 43 minutes per episode, that's 1032 minutes a season * 5.66 = 5841 minutes, or 97 hours ( roughly).
This teeth killing better be good. I'll start when I get home.
It's actually only 42 minutes per episode especially if you don't watch the "Previously On" or the ending credits.
THINK OF THE TIME YOU'LL SAVE!
But yeah. Teeth. Who knew being in a Chinese prison for 20 months turns you into a Vampire.

I was in a bar drinking discounted Miller Lites by the time it came on, and was well on my way to a fight with some guys who had offended me by drinking mixed shots in my presence. (I was extricated.) How soon will this be on the internet legally?

I knew they were in trouble when Buchanon said they would set up a perimeter.
Don't they know they suck at setting up perimeters? I don't think a single CTU established perimeter has ever gone unbroken.

I love 24 just as much as the next guy, but the past couple of seasons have been a little predicatable. I think the same will hold true tonight.
In the first two episodes (the 2-hour ones) they always introduce the badguy (the arab guy) in the first one. In the 2nd episode he gets caught (or killed) and everyone is happy go lucky, until they find out he was only a little man in the operation and there's something much bigger going on.
At this point I'm eager to find out how the glasses guy and his friends (the ones that used President Logan as a pawn) will play out in this season.

Jack reverting to his Lost Boys days was pretty awesome.

It's alright so far. I'm heavily jaded by the whole formula thing, and how predictable it's been lately. They've started off very well, but they've laid some heavy hints as to future formula plot twists. Hopefully they're just using them to throw us off, but their track record isn't good. They've got me watching so far

Now if only Edward Herrman would do the same on Gilmore Girls, I might actually watch it with my wife once in a while.
Much as Teeth of Doom is a great title, this thread needs to be retitled and hit with a spoiler tag.

I don't know about proof, but the same exact scene happened in "Silence of the lambs", if I am not mistaken.
... not if you have watched Season 2 (which also coincidentally happens to be the best season of 24 to date).
Wait, wait, wait.. hold on a second. Season 2? The one with Kim being chased by cougars and weird mountain men? The best season? Who are you and what have you done with shihonage?

Well, Kim's spontaneous trouble required some suspension of disbelief, but the show succeeded on the main factor - entertaining me. The best times of 24 happened when they had a mini-cliffhanger at the end of each episode. Unfortunately they dropped that practice for good after episode 8 of season 4.
Hide in these cardboard boxes! You'll be safe here! Jack Bauer cannot be Kim's biological father.
Season 3 is the best.

GTFO ? Well, HGJS to you too. PHLORK.
I have no idea what PHLORK means (if anything), but it's my new favorite word. (Won't take long for Oogaba to reclaim the title, though, I'm sure).
