24 - Live another day

    Yeah man. Me and Emma have been watching 24 again recently (her for the first time) and we're loving it. It's such a good show! Can't wait for her to see what happens later on. Shit goes down!

    Sure, it's not gonna live up to the original series. Sure, some of it is cheesy as fuck, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not gonna watch it. And enjoy it.

    Monday bitches!

    Now I'm going to open a channel 9 format on a DOD server socket and make a call on speakerphone whilst SHOUTING REALLY LOUD, asking for a pardon signed by the president, brb.

    I'm currently a few eps into re-watching 24 season 3, and after watching that trailer.... DAMN, I've realised that Kiefer is looking old! Wrinkly Jack!

    In which season does he fuck up half of al-quaida in a tunnel, and kills the end boss by strangling him with a chain again?

    No it wasn't 8, I'm sure it was 5 or 6 (It was still back in LA)


    It's not 5;

    The end boss is Charles Logan, who is obviously dismissed from office


    It's not 6;

    The end boss is Jack's father, Phillip who dies in an air-strike


    I can't for the life of me remember when that happened but I've only seen Seasons 7 and 8 once and I've forgotten a lot about them various events, so Thrik could be right.

    My bad, it was 4 - it was back in LA

    So, erm... did anyone watch this?


    I'm not sold yet. For me the first two episodes felt a bit contrived and like a lot of stuff was being squeezed in to re-introduce all of the characters and hook the audience with crazy over-the-top action. Hopefully the future episodes will be a bit smarter and bring back some of the tension and quieter stuff that always made 24 so good.

    I find the Kate character interesting. My first thought once she started taking out friendlies and going against her own agency was ‘this is exactly like Jack Bauer in season one’. In fact, if you look at Kate’s whole narrative thus far she has effectively become Jack Bauer of the past, and Jack Bauer himself is like one of various 24 characters of the past who seems like a villain but actually isn't.


    It’s actually one of the few parts of the new season I found genuinely interesting. The show is essentially getting us to see Kate as an antagonist and someone who’s way over the top and out of line, even though she’s doing exactly what Jack Bauer has always done. Whether or not this was something the creators intended is another story.
