Fun with "24" Season 6

[CJFusco]

SPOILERS AHEAD

Can you believe the extreme "alternate reality" take that "24" is employing this season? Terrorist attacks happening all over the country every day, concentration camps on US soil, nuclear warheads being detonated in L.A.... what's next? Jack must fight the zombie holocaust?!?

I like the change. For years, CTU had been JUST BARELY stopping terrorists... now the terrorists are doing some damage. Ironically, I think "24" needed to go extreme in order to preserve believability, if you catch my meaning.

i really loved seeing jack go "lost boys" on his captor. and having kumaar as a terrorist, priceless. it keeps getting better and better.

[CJFusco]

when I watch TV and movies with my brother, we tend to give them the MST3K treatment; "24" is one of my favorites to do this to, because it is SO over the top, yet still a blast to watch.

Needless to say, there were LOST BOYS cracks made during Sunday's episode.

Who would win in a fight "jack" or "chuck"

Someone ought to make a TV show just aboout that!

[nostatic]

jack. chuck is a wimp by comparison

[URY914]

Why does the President whisper when he talks?

[Bill Verburg]

"24" is just following Tom Clancey's lead, not a bad thing for entertainment.

[Super_Dave_D]

Just when you think Jack has shown you all the way he can kill - he bites a dude in the juglar (sp?) - awesome

[URY914]

The last few nights were the first time I've watched it. Parts were cool, parts were STUPID. But its Hollywood. I'll watch again.

[gprsh924]

I like the new emotional struggle Jack seems to be going through

[RallyJon]

I've never seen this show. Should I do the first (or other) season first?

[Super_Dave_D]

Watch the most current and once your hooked you will watch all of them. They are on DVD. I think Best Buy just started selling episode 1-4 of this season today.

I watched it once. It was like 24 hours of my life had been wasted. (ymmv)

Everyone knows Mr. Rogers could kill Jack Bauer.

[nostatic]

start with season 4, then 5, then catch up in the current one. there is some "history" but I actually started with 5,, then 4, and it was fine. each season is pretty self contained.

It is not a perfect show, but the writing is quite ballsy...they routinely kill off main characters and take a lot of chances. Sometimes it doesn't work and it often is over the top...but they usually hit things pretty well and you're worn out after an episode. When you get it on dvd, you can watch episodes back to back. It is so good, I went through the entire season in 4 days (average of 6 episodes a day).

[swa911]

One thing I have noticed this season is a bunch more ads. There were always Fox Nexs ads but now Nextel is in on it and that butt ugly Toyota Yaris. There are a couple more that escape me now. Why couldn't they hijack a sweet 911 when they have to chase someone.

Could you beleive Jack shot Curtis? My wife let out a scream when he did it. I just said "cool".

[swa911]

Anyone having luck finding a CTU ringtone? I found one but it sucks.

[ilikemy944]

Just search for Cisco ring tone
That is the kind of phone they are using.
You might have to try a couple different ones.

Rent season 1 on DVD and prepare for some 24 "marathons". Impossible to stop watching.
