Jack breaking Tony out of the FBI headquarters reminded me of how awesome 24 used to be. Unfortunately they still have those tangents with characters I couldn't care less about that really sully the show.

One thing that irked me was when that hot red head was torturing that shooter guy, she got the information about the job on the Prime Minister guy when the shooter would have had no knowledge of the mission in the first place as his boss' need to know policy extended to that mission. How could he divulge information he didn't have! Lame.

How could he divulge information he didn't have! Lame.

Remember, Tony called the shooter as he was driving back, because the shooter had the next assignment, and Tony wanted to be in the know, but the shooter wouldn't release the details until he got there. So yes, he did have knowledge.

Pros:
Hot redhead FBI agent
Tony is ****ing back!
First 4 hours have had more *** haulage than the first 4 of Day 6
I actually like this president (even though she's no David Palmer)
The nerdy FBI analyist chick is not as annoying as Chloe and pretty attractive

Cons:
Gets a little too preachy at times, especially during the Senate hearings
As much as I like Bill and Chloe, they're starting to feel like they're old dead weights, kinda trudging along

Against Miik!

The nerdy FBI analyst (Janis) is Janeane Garofalo, which is kind of funny because she's really left wing and is a really unorthodox choice for a character on a show like this. In an interview about her role on the show, she basically joked that she was out of work so didn't mind taking the role, even though its soooo not her.

E sharp: As for the "guy who killed himself", I believe that all happened in 24: Redemption, that 2 hour movie that was on a few months or so ago. Basically, Redemption was a separate entity, but set up Jack's return to state dept custody, covered President Taylor's inauguration, set up this side plot with the Presidents husband and their son (guy who killed himself), and brought Senegal into the mix. It's not a must to see Redemption to understand what is going on this season, but it would help. Plus Tom Lennox is in it for like 5 seconds which is cool.

So I just saw all 4 in a row. I had to download them because I had something else to do Sunday night and missed the first two, and didn't want to watch 3 and 4 first. It seems this season will make 24 good again. I've seen all the seasons besides the first one (weird), and I thought the show started to slip in seasons 5 and 6. I thought thats why they weren't going to bring it back initially. Good to see Tony back, as he was my favorite character from the past seasons. I heard he was coming back, and I was interested to see how they would do it. His revival seems a bit far fetched, but hey, its 24.

I don't think Bill and Chloe are trudging along at all. Even with Tony back, I think the show would feel a little too foreign if it was just him and Jack as the only returning characters. It offers some familiarity, and they were brought back in a pretty interesting way, so I am cool with it. Now all we need is a quick Elisha Cuthbert cameo, and everything would come together nicely. I can't imagine her never coming back to the show, even for one episode. I'd imagine her coming back at for the finale of this season, like at the end of the episode, with Jack trying to fix their relationship or something. Also Tony mentioned her when Jack was interrogating him, so maybe it was a little foreshadowing.

Anyways, glad its back. Kinda makes me want to revisit some of the old seasons, and maybe watch Day 1 for the first time. I found a great site that has every single episode with Hulu-esque quality.

I agree with brad, its good but some **** I don't understand why I'm supposed to give a crap about. It's just annoying. And the woman president is also annoying, she needs to grow a pair of balls.

I did see Redemption. I've forgotten all about it though. Hahaha, I didn't even wonder why and how Jack was in court at the beginning of this season.

MrConeman

01-15-2009, 01:24 PM

You're supposed to also understand that theres no way the son killed himself, because the end of Redemption clearly shows people plotting his death.

Jack and Tony busting out of the FBI building was intense, especially Jack driving out of the carpark, so awesome.

Well I did call the secret service guy to be bad. He was. Unsure how that will play out. Also knew that the hot FBI agent would survive, but unsure how that will play out as well.

Fairly calm episode, but it wasn't boring like many other calm episodes.

bradc1988

01-20-2009, 04:06 AM

The main thing that frustrated me was that by keeping her alive their cover is pretty much ****ed. That's only if she's goes back to the FBI though, but she needs medical treatment so idk.

I also hope the Presidents husband dies a horrible death.

i only watched the last part of the most recent episode where jack "shot" the one lady. then the badguys make them bury her alive. i get that jack and tony are undercover, but how do you think the lady is gonna survive that?

Against Miik!

01-20-2009, 12:30 PM

I don't know but I don't think Jack or Tony should really care, aside from the whole "we don't hurt innocent people on purpose thing" that they both would claim to have. But we all know thats bull. Jack probably didn't kill her because he is totally into her from the 5 hours he has known her.

Honestly though, she really compromises his mission, even though she is FBI. Would he rather save her? Or hurt some people he has known almost forever by messing up the mission? He's an idiot so he'll be all like "I can do both AND make teryaki chicken"

Jamais_Vu

01-20-2009, 12:37 PM

Well by the looks of it the bullet just grazed her neck, but it did look like a lot of blood for a grazed neck. Having to bury her is another thing, and that plastic sheet over her doesn't help at all.

MrConeman

01-20-2009, 12:46 PM

That van was going to be there for another what, 15 seconds tops? They're in a rush. She waits about a minute holding her breath and then crawls out of her extremly shallow, and barely covered in a little dirt grave, and goes to hospital/FBI for her grazed neck. Where she'll tell them Jack must be working undercover.

Not that hard to figure out.

bradc1988

01-20-2009, 02:18 PM

And the source in the FBI will tell the baddies that she is alive and then they are no longer undercover. Game over.

Should have just shot her in her pretty face.

FakePlasticTrees

01-20-2009, 04:30 PM

i doubt that she'll tell anyone other than her boss and some how she'll convince him not to tell anyone else.

Seafroggys

01-20-2009, 05:14 PM

So the next question is, who is the FBI informant?

I doubt its the boss, due to his reaction to finding out hot chick was in trouble. They make it seem like that one lazy guy, but because they are, he isn't. My guess is the blonde chick that he's been, ahem, seeing.

MrConeman

01-20-2009, 06:18 PM

Yeah, I've been thinking of who the informant is, it can't be the boss, it can't be the lazy guy, it can't be the girl who wants to be Chloe, and the only other person in the office to have any screen time is the blonde chick.

It's either the blonde chick, or someone we haven't seen yet.

i heard rumors that the fbi informant is actually the head of a secret ninja society

Yes, but you'd still do her.

I don't have issues with the first husband, his takedown of the agent was pretty cool. But then he'll be blamed for two murders and the scandel will be a big deal. Heard it here first.

01-28-2009, 09:25 AM

Yes, but you'd still do her.

Well thats a given. :p

Zakath

01-28-2009, 04:03 PM

Yeah, he's this season's Kim Bauer.
Seriously.

How can a ****ing grandpa who is still suffering the effects of a paralyzing drug kill a trained secret service agent in his 20s? And you'd think the agent would have thought since he's getting speech back he might be getting movement back as well. Obviously the husband was going to live, but it's just ridiculous.

at least there's been less annoying dialogue between FBI agents, not by much though. Plus now Tony has more kills then Jack so far in the season.

Seafroggys

02-10-2009, 12:01 AM

The baby scene was holy crap I can't believe they would have that on prime time TV.

bradc1988

She wasn't actually doing anything to the baby was she? At least I think that's how it went.

Jack car jacking, knife brawling and doing slide kills ftw

03-12-2009, 01:39 AM

1 and 2 are the best, 5 is also really solid but a lot of really good characters die (well, at least one came back from the dead). 6 is perhaps the worst. This season is pretty bitchin' though.

Against Miik!

03-12-2009, 01:55 AM

I kind of forget the old seasons. They all kind of blend together. I guess all I need to remember for this season is Chloe, Tony, and Bill exist and Jack is crazy.

I remember seasons 2 and 3 being really good though, which is when I was most into the show. This season is decent so far but I don't know if I like the way its been going recently.

Extensive training in the 'weapons are procure on site' department.

Last two episodes were great, Jack killing Quinn was epic. I like that Trip from Star Trek Enterprise is in the show, because what happened to him in Enterprise was a travesty.

Jack giving it T-1000 and throwing the guy from the truck was awesome.

Jack Bauer shouldnt be worried about exposure to the biological weapon, it should be worried about being exposed to Jack Bauer.

Kim coming back was already confirmed, or at least I thought so because it lists Elisha Cuthbert(sp?) for the current season on imdb.

But yeah, that's kind of a cool way to work her back in, albeit really, really predictable.

I think Renee will eventually contact Kim, after watching Jack suffer some more, without his consent of course, because he's stubborn.

Jack is going to have to deal with him.

A hell of alot happened in that episode. SPOILURZ...

The canister of the bio weapon is on the loose again.

MrConeman

04-21-2009, 07:08 PM

Oh yeah totally, Jack's kill count is pretty low in the last bunch of episodes. However killing that dude who tried to frame him was one of the coolest kills he's ever done.

Tony was pretty awesome infiltrating Starkwood, right up to the betrayal.

04-21-2009, 07:42 PM

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that tony isn't really bad (again).

Maybe he's just trying to take down the main dudes undercover.

04-21-2009, 10:40 PM

Killing Larry pretty much secures him as a bad guy though.

<3<3<3

04-21-2009, 10:46 PM

yeah, but he killed him in a "nice" way instead of letting him get shotgunned to death.

Maybe he's doing it for the greater good and trying to keep a cover?

Jack killed the CTU director in one of the seasons before.

this show is crazy so you never know though

MrConeman

I just can't wait to see how Jack doesn't die. I mean, as far as I know, there is another season scheduled.

It's crazy to think where this season started. I know the plot changes midway through most seasons, but this one has done so at least 3 times.

The doctor in the said that he can survive 1-2 days and it says on wiki that the next "day" will start where this one ends, so the next one might be the final season where Jack actually dies.

MrConeman

05-14-2009, 07:00 PM

Jack won't die from that diesese. There's no way it will happen.

We seen earlier in the season with people dying from it, and flipping out and going crazy and rolling around and dying. TV won't actually do that to the hero of the show.

Fairly anti-climactic end to the season, I hope the whole Taylor family is killed in the first 30 seconds of next season. I hope the hawt red head doesn't do what it appears she is going to do, that'd be lame after Jack's little speech. I was hoping Tony would kill that guy, but knew it would never happen :(

Well, we've done it every year, somebody has had to do it this time around!

So, thoughts on the first two hours?

Why do you of all people watch this torture p0rn?

I still think that jack and tony should be the terrorist masterminds for next season.

Hey so I was kind of right about tony not being totally bad and just trying to get to the top guys.

wtf is this now 48 hours? With all the **** going on this season that could have just as easily been hour 14, all that changed was slow and dramatic music instead of fast and supsensful music.

I don't know what the **** you guys were thinking, that was an awesome finale. The first hour was better than the second, but still good!

Though the Tony twist surprised me. I honestly thought he was bad, but not so much.

And yeah, FBI chick and Olivia need to strip search each other. That would be better.

They were great episodes they just didn't really feel like finales. Not one second of filler though.

If next season is supposed to take place the next day then irl it would be really boring for a bit because I mean it's 8 am right now and Jack has to get that treatment so thats at least the first hour and then you know he might need at least 3 or 4 hours of recovery in the hospital after almost dying from a some weaponized infection and being put into a morphine induced coma :rolleyes:
