9-11am tonight. Another 2 episodes!!!!!! note, this is Monday 1-10-05

Is it any good?

Not to me I just changed it. I have been told over and over by friends that this show is great. I just cannot get into it at all when I think over everything that happens in the course of the "24" hours it is too far fetched when it is supposed to be grounded in reality.I like unbelieveable shows but they do not play it like it is supposed to be believed I like Keifer Sutherland I think he is a great actor but the story is just "too much". Just my 2 cents.

It's good so far. Better than any previous season. Awesome action and suspense.

The point is things are happening ALL THE TIME and EVERYWHERE. Just because the good guys are trying to get it together doesn't mean the bad guys are going to stand around and wait. When you're involved in something like this, on either side, things happen fast. It is in fact very realistic, you just havn't ever seen anything like this show before. It is disorienting at first but you get to love it really fast.

Secondly...I never got to see the end of season three. Where the hell is Tony Almada and his wife (her name escapes me at the moment), and Kim Bauer? Did they leave their jobs and settle somewhere else or were they killed off?

Thirdly...I agree, so far another great season of a great show. :D

What's the story line for this series?

Anyway I've only seen Series 1 and most of 2. So I have a bit of catching up to do.

A different crisis each season. Some familiar characters show up though. The only common villian for the first three seasons though was Nina Meyers and Jack killed her in season 3 so no more of the evil bitch we love to hate.

So far the story is still unfolding. The Sec. of Defense and his daughter (Jack's new girlfriend) were kidnapped. Apparently there is also a plot to attack the very structure of the Internet. The current baddies shown seem to be Islamic fundie terrorists.

She came back? again? Is she a cat or something?

Has Kim been locked in a room so she can't run around getting into trouble?

But seems interesting. Wonder when we'll get it over here.

Well Jack put a couple bullets into her in season 3 in the middle of CTU. That cat ain't comin back methinks.

I know! Where the hell is Kim? Or Tony and his wife? I missed the finale for season 3, where the hell is everyone!?

Kim isn't in it so far, THANK GOD!!!! We still don't know the whole scheme being attempted. As for who it is, these are just the underlings being shown now. We have to wait a few months to see who's really behind it.

this is the first one i have ever seen

Of course, but do you know if anything happened to Tony or his wife IDF? I figured he would've become head of CTU instead of this new bitch.

More like TiVo

Tony's probably in a federal penn after what he did last season and his wife probably resigned. They may show up later this season. Kim quit her job at CTU and is married to Chace. They are somewhere else in the country.

Tony was arrested at the end. Dunno what happend to his hot wife. I guess she was transfered.

I loved Jack's interrogation method!!!! Kneecapping, gotta love it.

No spoilers please.

Thanks both of you. Sucks for Tony and his wife (I agree, hot indeed :D) though. We need more sexy redheads fighting terrorists!

So first two hours... reactions anyone? I personally loved every second of it.

I haven't dloaded them yet.

I bet Jack's girlfriend gets kidnapped several times and Jack has to make a decision that puts his career on the line but also holds the fate of the city of Los Angeles.

Am I a genius or what?

First, shutup. Second, Jack Bauer is the sort of guy that puts it ALL on the line. That is why he owns your soul. Third, my guess is the future of the free world is on the line. So :p

I'm just making fun of the fact that the same things happen every 24 season.
If someone else gets kidnapped, I'm not going to watch the show anymore. Kim's been kidnapped, what, 3-5 times now?

Yeah. Kinda reminds me of Inspector Gadget. Gadgets niece also manages to get kidnapped all the time.

Best season yet so far.

We're talking spy games here. People get shot, throats slit, hostages taken. The cool thing about 24 is so many things happening simulataneously. Even though there are many kidnappings throughout the different seasons of the show there are an almost infinite amount of differences and how they play out. I mean, who could have foreseen Jack's former boss being poisoned by radiation and flying a plane carrying a nuke away from LA? That's just great stuff!

Or Jack shooting George Mason. Also his boss. Every employees dream!!! :D

Blasphemy! Comparing 24 to Inspector Gadget. Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer is the ultimatate badass of spys.

Pfff...Gadget could kick hiss ass anyday!!! Gogo Gadget foot!!!!

Jack Bauer puts a few slugs in Gadgets stupid head. The dog is next.

Gogo Gadget full body armor.

Anyone ever notice that Jack never gets stuck in L.A. rush hour traffic?

I mean, if this show were realistic, it could take him an entire episode just to get somewhere between 3 and 6 PM

Ah. But he's a spy. So he knows how to sneek past traffic without beeing noticed.

Now you're just being silly. The bullet would be in and out of his cybernetic freak skull before he could even open that idiotic mouth of his. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to test my theory on Matthew Broderick....

He's never on the road from 3 to 6.. he's always in the middle of something. :)

Yeah right. Gadget is the ultimate warrior. Jack Bauer is nothing compared to him.

Jack Bauer takes out international terrorists. Gadget has a hard time with the goons of some obviously agoraphobic freak missing an arm with an unhealthy attachment to his cat.

Pffft...thats just cause Dr. Claw is so damned cunning. Jack Bauer usualy only deals with rogues who can only dream of beeing so cunning as Claw.
Jack could only pray for such a cunning arch nemesis.

Or Jack shooting George Mason. Also his boss. Every employees dream!!! :D
Killing Chapelle when he is trying to prosecute Jack was also good. Come on, who won't admit Jack enjoyed putting the bullet in his brain?

Does anyone else hate that Chloe girl at CTU?
I hope she gets kidnapped and killed next episode, so I don't have to listen to her bitchy, whiny voice for the rest of the season.

Aaargh. Yes of course. It was Ryan whom he shot. My mistake.

And yet this "cunning arch nemesis" is continually beaten by a moron. Jack Bauer doesn't take down rogues, he takes out entire networks/cells of terrorists and drug trafficers that have been making their intricate plots for years. HA!

Aaargh. Yes of course. It was Ryan whom he shot. My mistake.
Mason died of the virus, IIRC that is.

Gadget still rules!!! Gogo Gadget nuttcracker!!!

Radiation poisening. Gaiel (sp) was the one that sniffed the virus.

Dammit! how could I mess that one up? Well either way, 24>>>>Alias>>>>Inspector Gadget.

The radiation poisioning was killing him, but I think the nuclear blast beat the radiation to the punch. :D

Don't worry. I messed up Mason and Chappelle.

Don't worry. I messed up Mason and Chappelle.
Well Jack still lived our dream, and I want him to kill the person who is in charge of CTU this season.

When is the next episode on?

2 more hours tonight!!!!!!

2 more hours? They have 2 hours now each ep or what?

2 more hours? They have 2 hours now each ep or what?
I don't know, but it's on right now. They are making up for the later start

I soooo want that bitch in head of CTU to get killed.

Bauer needs to go back to driving school.

I saw 24 beat "Desperate Housewives" in the Nielsens last night

Aaargh. Yes of course. It was Ryan whom he shot. My mistake.

Ahh, but in Season 1, doesn't Jack also shoot Mason *with a tranq*?

SPOILER

-Tony and Michelle will be back later this season

Not to be rude. But how the hell do you know about that little spoiler? Is it a credible source or third hand rumor?

Could be. Which would mean I was right. Aaahh...... :)

cast interviews

Who do you think leaked Keller's schedule? I think it may have been Audrey. I mean no one else knew about the schedule, not even the son. Plus we all know Jack's history with women.

I don't know what to think. It could be the son or the daughter. I'm undecided now. I want to believe it's the idiot son.

Actualy, Claw is continually beaten by Penny and Brain who are, by any standard, both geniuses. Gadget just takes the credit, thus keeping his neice and dog off of MAD's hitlist.

To people who think Claw is a good adversary. I don't care how smart he is, he isnt MI6 trained as Steven Saunders was.

I bet that kid kills his mom and spares his girlfriend.

amazing so far. Best season ever.

I hate his boss in this one, but I realize I hated Mason in Season 1 and Chapel in 2 and 3. All of them turned out to be OK towards the end of those seasons and had redeeming values in the end.

I wonder how hesitant Jack would be to kill her?

Omar on the cell with Jack:
Jack: I'm with Driscoll right now.
Omar: Kill her now or I kill Heller.
Jack: No prob, Bob.

Hey, does anyone remember Jack's Season 2, uh method of murder. "I need a hacksaw!"
