yea I guess I'll be staying away from the next show's previews from now on. It's not like they have to show something to keep people reeled in. Every single episode ends in a cliffhanger for crying out loud!

1/15/2006 11:17:13 PM

my guess is....even if the chinese find out jack is alive...they will be less pissed cuz its been a while, and they could probably offer them something else aside from jack

1/15/2006 11:23:34 PM

^^ That applies to about 90% of the shows on Fox

1/15/2006 11:49:37 PM

i had it set to record, but because the panthers game lasted longer i didnt get the final 10 minutes. can someone PM me what happens in the final 10 minutes please?

1/16/2006 12:06:21 AM

I can't help but think that after 24 finishes up for good, Palmer getting shot will be catgorized as the jump the shark moment for the series.

1/16/2006 7:29:18 AM

I was thinking he was going to win the next election. WRONG.

1/16/2006 10:39:12 AM

has jack ever boinked the nerdy chick from CTU? I did not watch the first seasons.

1/16/2006 11:10:46 AM

^^^ No if they were to bring Palmer back to life, then that would be the Jump the Shark Moment

1/16/2006 11:32:49 AM

oh great

i'm starting my tenure with 24 as people are saying its jumped the shark...wonderful

i'd never watched a single episode of 24, so i didn't really know what to expect
i always thought keifer sutherland as a badass was kind of ~
but man, jack bauer is pretty fucking tough

be interesting to see if i keep my viewership up...
how much do the dvd sets generally run?

ps
its been my experience that TWW-"ettiquette" regarding tv show discussions is that anything the network shows on-air is fair game

anything that a website or interview shows that has not been aired during the program or its advertisements is a spoiler

1/16/2006 11:47:46 AM

the DVD's are kickass the only problem is its like renting a 24 hour movie. there are no comercials so basically you end up glued to the TV for like two or three nights straight if you have never seen them before.

1/16/2006 12:19:08 PM

I want to clarify my jump the shark comment. I freaking love 24 and don't personally think it has jumped the shark, but I could see the TV snarks of the future saying that 24 "jumped the shark" when they "shot teh Palmer".

1/16/2006 12:32:15 PM

Is it just me, or for some reason is Chloe looking kinda hot this season?

1/16/2006 2:30:06 PM

It's just you.

1/16/2006 2:36:14 PM

if chloe is the chick that met jack at the oil rig

i've always liked her

she was one of the space cult folks in Dude Wheres My Car

i mean, shes not like spank bank material or anything

1/16/2006 2:40:19 PM

shes probably one of hte ugliest girls ive seen on tv in awhile. i hope you guys are joking. everyone watching was making fun of her at my apt

1/16/2006 2:43:43 PM

she's the blind chick from road trip! i knew i'd seen that bitch somewhere before

1/16/2006 2:46:13 PM

^^You obviously dont watch a lot of TV.

1/16/2006 2:48:54 PM

i watch quite a bit. and of course i was exaggerating, there are some ugly girls on tv. but that chick is mad busted. she hsa NO chin for pete's sake

reallly if this was your first 24 episdoe, download or rent the first 3 seasons. its incredible entertainment.

1/16/2006 3:08:18 PM

youre not talking to me right, just in general? hehe

1/16/2006 3:16:15 PM

^^First 4 dumbass

1/16/2006 3:30:22 PM

its really hard to appreciate palmers assasination unless you knew him

1/16/2006 3:30:40 PM

they were pretty good ones last night. i hated that boy for being a dumbass but other than that it was good entertainment

1/16/2006 3:32:53 PM

lol i'm glad i can pull myself out of the fanboy mentality and take a look at this thread for the idiocy it truly is.

people arguing over what features they think are hot in a girl.
people thinking they "know" characters in a TV show.
people debating over how much they can say and still be considered polite on an otherwise rude and crude message board.
people hypersensitive about the number of seasons there have been.

but at the same time i'm glad i can stick myself back into the fanboy mentality at 8 pm tonight

1/16/2006 3:39:40 PM

so glad 24 is back!

[Edited on January 16, 2006 at 3:48 PM. Reason : hmmm]

1/16/2006 3:47:31 PM

I'm so stoked about another episode tonight

1/16/2006 3:48:54 PM

Yeah man! Its gonna be gnarly!

1/16/2006 3:50:27 PM

^^ two more you mean. and i'm ready for rudy!

1/16/2006 4:15:36 PM

i watched the the stuff from last night...was recorded. looks really good. hoping that she goes to CTU and tells her about the last year. sucks they killed michelle. and palmer for that matter, he was really a good actor and character.

this president blows. hard core. how'd walt change that audio recording so effectively? i doubt that could be done in 20 minutes.

cyanide pill. daaaaaaaamn.

and fuck walk. he'd better end up dead within the next 8 hours. i absolutely hate seeing them subverted for the entire show by a single character for a long, long time. like the black chick last season. having moles is find, but just have them taken out in at most four episodes, please.

here's to tonight.

1/16/2006 5:26:25 PM

2 hrs

"cyanide pill."

i dont get it...this man was a contact for palmer...he could have been palmers friend or had info for palmer. so i dont get why jack treated him like a terrorist, can anyone explain?

also....its a sure thing just about that tony will be back... a shunt isnt quite 'brain surgery', he will be back around mid season im sure. he undoubtedly has valuable info.

[Edited on January 16, 2006 at 6:22 PM. Reason : 0]

1/16/2006 6:15:16 PM

everyone's anti-Jack

he can't just walk up to somebody and say--hey, i'm good, believe me

Everyone's perception of Jack has been royally screwed up and he has to over come that now

1/16/2006 6:22:26 PM

^are you kidding? the director is just following protocol, everyone else knows jack didnt do it.

I'm pretty sure he's gotta do that with everyone at this point

1/16/2006 6:25:06 PM

he had to convince the Palmer's brother

everyone under the director is ordered to assume Jack killed Palmer

everyone who didn't know Jack was alive (which is now like 1 and a half people) doesn't trust Jack....just because his reputation has been shot to hell

this is actually my biggest complaint about the season...not only does he have to come out of hiding to save the day, but he also has to convince everybody that he's on the right side...it's really stretching the bounds

it's not like he has a bunch of resources at hand like previous seasons

[Edited on January 16, 2006 at 6:28 PM. Reason : 123]

1/16/2006 6:26:12 PM

yes but those people dont matter. palmer's brother barely needed 20 seconds of convincing.

1/16/2006 6:28:19 PM

those people do matter in terms of getting stuff done

they're the obstacles that Jack has to go around

so not only does he have to deal with the bad guy lackeys, but he has to deal with the good guy lackeys too

1/16/2006 6:31:03 PM

I just watched all of season 4 in the past week or so with the luxury of being able to watch the next episode anytime I wanted to....which more often than not was immediately. After tonight, I don't know how I'm gonna handle having to wait

1/16/2006 7:07:10 PM

i can make 'dat ass roll like a '24

1/16/2006 7:14:28 PM

here we go

1/16/2006 8:00:48 PM

you know what would suck

if the terrorist attack was just this hold up at the airport for the next 22 episodes

1/16/2006 8:10:47 PM

if it'll take a while to explain then don't bother, but wasn't mike dirty? or did he just come off that way in the previous seasons. he seems like such a ferret

1/16/2006 8:16:39 PM

is mike the president's advisor?

1/16/2006 8:17:31 PM

well one thing is certain

as long as Jack has his trusty knapsack handy

HE'S INVINCIBLE

1/16/2006 8:17:46 PM

if by dirty you mean a political hack ... then yea ... he kinda covered up a murder in rather insidious way ... but hes not a terrorist, just a real dick cheney

^lets not forgot ep2 s4 where ronny handed jack his ass. jack aint invincible.

[Edited on January 16, 2006 at 8:18 PM. Reason : -]

damn, thats fucked up. on tv no less

1/16/2006 8:23:23 PM

5 seasons

and you don't really care if people get killled anymore

its expected

1/16/2006 8:23:25 PM

here we go.

1/16/2006 8:23:55 PM

in about 15 mins a lot of terrorists are going to die
