24 - Day 8 [IT IS FINISHED]
Posts
Jack's "kick off the wall neck snap" from the end of Day 2 remains one of the most awesome moments in television to date.
Although the end of Day 3 (with Chase in the school) was probably among the most powerful scenes in the series.
I thought she meant he was under house arrest at his ranch. I could swear he died.
That said, the same could be said about Tony. 24 definitely adheres to Comic Book style deaths.
That was prior to first lady crazy pants killing him.
I think he'll actually turn out to be Bizarro Tony.
He started to flatline at like the very end of that episode. But they never followed up on it.
1:
But no, of course it couldn't work out that way.
Lame.
Also its kind of funny, but why is jack never treated with respect? He used to run CTU before the events of Day 1, so he was at least considered on top of it to run an organization full of traito... oh.
Jack has spidey sense. Haven't you learned that by now
24: inspiring self sufficiency; one Day at a time.
I loved the thing with the female president talking to the Secretary of State. "GOD DAMNIT, IF YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD YOUR OWN OPINIONS I'LL FIRE YOUR ASS"
It wasn't that he had his own opinions, it was his work to undermine her authority. It wasn't even that hard to understand, but I guess bias always presents itself.
He was a weasley bastard, but he did have his moments. Probably not returning though I believe he's on another show.
I'd like to see Bill Buchanon kicking some ass alongside Bauer, have him team up with jack and tony and it would be like the super friends of fake terrorist ass kicking (maybe they'll kill a chig too).
I liked Ramon Salazar, Charles Logan, Nina Meyers(less odd), Michael Amador, Christopher Henderson, Tony Almeida (less odd), and Bruce Foxton (I had to look up his name, but he was the guy that punched Sherry in season 3), and also George Mason (less odd also)
Miles was ok in the first season.
I have to admit I liked good Nina better than bad ass Nina. She really pinned down the role of non-annoying love interest..its a shame.
The funniest thing about Nina is that in the real world she's married to Xander Berkely (George Mason).
Oh, I'm not complaining about desire for action. I'm just saying I don't have my expectations high because it's, simply put, more 24. The same conventions, the same general plot twists thus far, etc. Tht's not a gripe, really, given that it's what we all want - I found myself more entertained by this season than most other early ones, if only because of the two year gap.
Whether it'll remain entertaining throughout, I dunno.
I found it pretty surprising when I found out...mainly because of the age difference...and they seem kind of like an unlikely match. And shes quite a bit better looking imho (but he is charming so... that goes a ways)
At least (they seemingly) got rid of the minor villain seems like the main villain- he gets killed by the second level villain (who you think is the main villain) but then he gets killed off by the main villain.
That was annoying... or at least the whole villain killing villain killing villain thing.
Henderson was the fucking man (and he was Buckaroo Bonzai for gods sake and Robocop). Why did Jack have to kill him ? *sigh*
Sidenote about Season 1: Ira Gaines was a pretty creepy bastard as far as villains goes. He did a good job...I actually preferred him over Hopper and his two sons (although the balding one was more interesting than Hopper and the pretty boy)
That was one of my favorite deaths in the series. Jack gives him a gun and everything.
whoops no bullets!
On that note- really lame deaths/moments; Nina killing all those doctors and nurses after attempting to kill herself. That was really.... ugh
But it lead to such an awesome moment.
"You don't have anymore information..."
That said, the first season was wrapped up incredibly tight, and didn't seem overly contrived like certain events in S5 and S6.
Yeah but the threat was all towards palmer. I don't mean one bad guy, I mean one thing to deal with. Season 6 just had too much of "Well you stopped this one, but a completely seperate thing was going on this whole time".
I don't remember that...I just remembered the "Ugh" at just how absolutely unbelievable it was (not that 24 is realistic...but that was...ugh). Especially with the blood she lost , from what I remember.
Yeah it got ridiculous (well more so than 24 usually has). I mean at least with season 1 each threat was kind of on the fly after the primary threat got dealt with. I mean it was like "Fucking bauer ok ok we got these guys lets get those fucks". Other seasons didn't seem so much on the fly like 6. That was its biggest problem, too much "OH SNAP now they got nuclear dogs bauer."
Season 6 was so bad...the whole family thing ugh..

I can't recall dook. I thought the same thing that he got blown up.
It's strange he blames the US gov for his brothers death then. Because it was Jack Bauer who did it.

Glad that she lost, I couldn't imagine her as nina.
