Television 24

Ummm really?


these days he has is obviously a rarity. He can't hack it imo.

He originally left in Season 1
because of the death of his wife. He was brought back in in Season 2 and then for Season 3 he was Director of CTU again. Having developed a drug-habit to bring down the Salazers, he decided he needed to get out of CTU and so started to work for SoD Heller. The end of Season 4 he had to go into hiding as a result of the Chinese Consul break-in. Season 5 he was being framed for the deaths of all those who knew he was alive and so he had to return. The end of Season 5 he was kidnapped. Season 6 he was brought back to be handed to a terrorist in return for information concerned with terror attacks. He escaped, the end of Season 6 he had to leave Audrey. He went to Africa (See Redemption), and was handed a Subpoena to appear in front of Congress in Season 7. Season 8 he is retired but was brought in again when somebody came to him with news of what was about to happen.

Can't hack it? Pffft.

Sounds like he should be best mates with mel gibson and danny glover.
 
Probably!

Anyways, episodes 3 and 4.
I found them OK to be honest, nothing spectacular. I'm disappointed Davros has been killed already and that the Hassan plot is over so quickly. Also, the Dana/Kevin arc is annoying already, I hate it. I hope it's finished with sooner or later, it offers nothing.

The best bit by far was Renee got the bracelet, Bauer has taught her well it seems!
 
i'm going to try to keep them so i can watch them one after another - wondering how long i'll last before i give in?

I tried, lasted a week, just downloaded 1st 2 episodes and watched them back to back. Season 8 off to a crackerjack start!! I dig Dana, she is all woman. President Hasan is a dude too, very good Bollywood actor so interesting to see him in a Hollywood drama.

Looks like season 8 has all the ingredients and I like that its based in NYC, much more interesting backdrop than LA. cant wait to see the next generation surveillance kit and toys. They keep saying already that the stuff in season 7 is old skool .... well the new stuff is going to be very disturbing! Wonder what chemicals they will use for 'interrogation'?!

You know how it is Elvis don't you ? The first plot of each 24 season is short and is nothing in comparison to the main theme.I liked episode 3 more than the 4th.There is just something about 24.Even if the scenario isn't great or a but boring you still wanna watch it.
You're 100% right regarding the Dana/Kevin relation, if it brings nothing to the story then it'll be a pain the ass.Hopefully somehow it'll get connected to the plot.
I liked the way roles were reversed between Jack and Renée, the way he was shocked by what she's just done.I suspected that Davros would die very soon because it's a classic of 24, the first bad guys are quickly killed off.
 
Agreed that the Dana thing is shit. I don't like her character at all, and Cole just puts me off due to being Freddie Prinze Jr but I'm trying to see past that. (He was Fred in Scooby Doo ffs)

Episode 3 was good, Episode 4 not as much. Chloe has a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime face 97% of the time, it's even worse than previous seasons.
 
Just watched the first 3 episodes - great to have Jack (and Chloe) back. Great TV.
 
Also it was strange hearing David Anders speaking in his American accent, became so used to hearing him speak with a British one.

Oh hell no, Chloe is getting hotter every season. I had a nerd-gasm in that scene where she, Dana, and Renee were in the same room together.
 
Heh..
Renee cutting the hand off was a throwback to Jack shooting the suspect in S2 premier.
And Anil Kapoor is absolute horrendous in his role, his accent is all over the place. I am calling him to be a bad guy.

EDIT by Admin: Crappy, use the bloody spoiler functions. Some people won't have seen episodes 3-4 yet due to it not being on British TV yet
 
Thought eps3 and 4 were more engaging than the previous 2

Interesting angle in that Jack is the more relaxed one now and Renee is the nutter. Wonder how long it will take before Jack goes a bit mad?

Also, Im not liking the new CTU director. Its annoying me how he walks hunched over

or may be saving them ;)
 
feck it..

Loved the first four episodes. The balance between the action and the drama is spot on IMO. I like how things have been built up, Cole risking his life in front of the assassin was badass, but it was predictable that Bauer was going to shoot him down.

Hasan is a legend, really like the guy. Has anyone noticed how brilliant the chemistry between Hastings and Chloe is already? The Dana sub-plot is annoying I agree, but I want to see Cole just put a cap in that guys head already.

Lastly, I am loving the new Renee, she is completely cold and hard as nails by the looks of things. She still looks like she is going to cry at every opportunity though.

Don't like the President's lacky Rob. Pushy little prick, typical politician - expect the impossible from you and when you don't deliver, its your head on the line.

I need my next fix.

I agree, seems like a very worked up man but maybe it's due to the importance of this peace agreement.
About Anil Kapoor, why do some of you mean by "his accent is all over the place" ? Is he not supposed to be arab in this show
 
Enjoying it so far....

I think it will be interesting to see where they take this storyline now. We were only really told about the assassination plot before the season begun, I think had they dragged it out longer then it wouldn't of been quite as good. I am looking forward to seeing what the bigger story-line will be. Obviously the russians are involved now. Also wondering what the political side of things will go like

Getting bored of the jenny story, not a big fan of the director...but thankfully Kim is out of the picture for the time being!

Because his accent keeps changing in every other scene.

I too am very interested to see where they will take the plot from here. Given that we have had so many twist and turns and just about every conceivable scenario played out, AND they now have an audience well versed in how the plot tends to develop and are trying to outguess what will happen .... well its a classic double de-bluff situation.

I loved the new Renee though and how she said 'she was just starting!!!' Bad Ass!!!!!
 
Anyway, Im done with eps 1,2,3,4 ..... Need my next fix pronto. When does this air stateside? Can one of our US members just post on here once its shown in the US so I can down load as quickly as possible?!!!

Annoying as hell....straighten up FFS man. He's not very good either...doubting Chloe? Fool.

Good first 4 episodes.

Next Monday, 25th at 9pm ET (2am UK time). Will probably be up around 4am UK to download on most sites :)
 
The new Director of CTU is Bubba from Forest Gump
 
I've never caught a single episode of 24 in my life. Would it be advisable to start from Season 1? Is it really that good?

1 isn't the best because of low budget, but if you do start from 2 then make sure you read an overview of season 1 and what happened...otherwise you won't understand some of 2. :)
