24

[Wrathchild]

I've dipped in and out of previous series (or "days") but this one is the first that I've watched regularly. Top stuff!

Now I need to catch up on everything I missed. Why didn't I just watch them while I was taping them for my Mum?

If you guys like 24, also check out The Edge of Darkness (not the Maiden song, the British miniseries that inspired 24) and Nowhere Man. The latter was one of my fave shows of the early 90s and ran for only 25 episodes, a lot of which were written by Joel Surnow (24's executive producer and co-creator).

Nowhere Man.... Was that the one where the guy lost his memory or had it wiped or something and he had to figure out who he was and shit like that?

I remember it if that is the one. It was cool

 

[Wrathchild]

Nowhere Man was about Tom Veil, a freelance photographer who saw something he shouldn't have, got it on film and put the results on display at an exhibition. The Powers That Be responded by erasing his existence so that no-one he ever met (including his wife) would help or even recognise him. It was great in an "X-Files meets The Fugitive while ripping off The Prisoner" kind of way, with lots of clever twists.

Also (for those interested) I've just heard that Millennium's coming out on DVD this year . Normally I wouldn't get my hopes up for an Australian release, but since XF box sets sell well here and both shows were created by the same guy, it looks very promising .

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah, that is the one I was thinking of

Did he say "I am the cheese" at all?

The Edge of Darkness

Was that from the mid-80s? I vaguely remember that being quite good.

 

[Wrathchild]

Yes it was. I think it's just come out on DVD also.

[Spruce Goose]

Fuck!

I would have to say that last nights 24 was one of the greatest episodes in the shows history.

So much went on. When everyone started bleeding from the mouth and nose I was like 'WHOA, shit is going down now!'

And when Michelle shot that dude in the back. Twice.

I don't want ehr to die... She is hot
I saw Kiefer on Jay Leno, and he said that the next (last) 7 episodes of the series are the greatest and most exciting.

Can't wait.
Shame its now on at 10:30

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah the late time slot shits me, but the last 4 episodes have been mighty excellent.

 

[Arcane]

Basically from the start of the Hotel scenes to the end of the season is some of the best 24 you will see. The sh!t really hits the fan!

 

[Spruce Goose]

This weels was once again awesome. I love when Jacl owned that slut by saying ' You're not under arrest... Your constiutional rights no longer apply'


That was sick.

 

[Sydo]

*sicl

 

[Spiff]

I forgot to tape it this week.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Jack and Michelle are getting it oooooonnnn!

 

[Spruce Goose]

FUCK!

That was fuckin intense!

I can't believe that happened. My heart was beating hard when he pulled the trigger and then the clock came up with no noise. That was awesome.

"God forgive me!"

Had to feel for Chapelle as well "I dont really have any friends... just the people at work"

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah, poor guy.

The way it ended was very intense, with Jack's last words and the way the clock didn't have the noise, spine chilling.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Fuckin oath.

From an average start, this has turned into easily my favorite season. It is so fuckin good. I love it how there has only been the one story (to contain the virus).

In previous seasons there have been many sub plots that were dumb. This one rules

 

[Blitzkrieg]

The second season had the dumb sub plot with Kim, and a few other things here and there but I think the first season was brilliant. This season is easily better than the second, but I am not sure about the first, I loved that as well.

I still wonder if they are going to do another season. Keifer has said he doesn't mind if they kill off Jack for the good of the show, but I don't think that would be a good idea. He is the best part.

 

[Arcane]

There is still more goodness to come

 

[Spiff]

Looks like Kim does something stupid next week to put the entire world in jeopardy. About time, too!
