"Official" 24 thread. Commentary

Jeff, you're too sweet, a thread!


I'll post it here from now on.
My goatness, those 4 hours were GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---------------------------->
I have only a few for the first 4 hours, as I was drinking beers in memory
on Tony Almeida and Curtise on the ski slopes of Steamboat, CO.

1 - Our Chinese friend (Mista Bowa!!!) drops Jack off in a CARGO PLANE, and
he walks out looking like Jim Cazeviel in "The Passion of the Christ" - with
his nappy beard and scars, no accident I say. Whatever happened to granting prisoners with a hooker and a steak?
To bad our Chinese friend went
back to China, I love that guy.
I wonder if the Chinese will come back to 24. I'm dying to see American Japanese/ Korean/ Vietnamese actors play Chinese people.

2 - Tupac is the president now, and he looks even prettier than David
Beckham in those 5000 dollar suits. He's somehow gotten Jack out of Chinese
prison to offer him up to a terrorist named Fayed who is running across the
country suicide bombing campaign.


3- Jack says he's too strung out to fight terrorists, but that doensn't stop
him from biting a chunk out of a terrorists neck to escape after he gets
turned into Fayed. That part of jack spitting the neck piese out of his mouth
made my mouth taste like iron. yumm.

4 - Chloe has a boyfriend at CTU. (the toe sucking bf of Clair from Six Feet Under) He seems to be in league with the
terrorists. You've got to figure that they have at least a few people on the
inside at CTU. Nadja is the new hottie arab chick who gives orders to Cloe all the time.
Cloe's best line: "you mean what I'm already doing?" How many new employees do they have at CTU anyways? It is more difficult to crash a Halloween party in Arlington,
than it is to infiltrate CTU.

5- Some middle eastern teenager (I'm pretty sure he's actually Indian and around 34 years old) is being harrassed by his neighbors because
they think he is a terrorist and guess what!!! They're right!!! There is
only one family in his yuppie suberb that trusts him and he rewards them by
kidnapping them at gunpoint.

6- A fellow named Assad, with a fake Arab accent, is an ex-terrorist who wants to be a peaceful man
now. After he helps foil a few capers he is rewarded with, you guessed it, a
signed presidential pardon, about the 26th we have seen so far. I want one
too!

7 - Tupac has a sister who is a civil liberties lawyer (Regina King, Ray's wife.). She looks about as much like Tupac's sister as Justin Timberlake looks like me.

Side note: martha Stewart and Bill are married!

8 - Curtis is flipping out over having to work with a reformed terrorist.
The whole thing ends up with Jack having to cap Curtis because he was about
to waste Asad. Curtis was the consumate pro for so many years and now he
goes berserk? I don't buy it. I think Chloe is the only old school CTU'er
still alive besides Jack.
Stop killing everybody, damn 12 executive producers on 24, and one head producer! (Its true, check the titles at the beginning).


9 - Curtis is dead, long live Curtis!!! I'm even sadder than when Tony and Edgar died.

10 - Jack quits CTU for the 19th time, but aftter LA is nuked, (did you hear that? NUKED!) he signs back up. Next week, he will face off with Blue Tooth or my Hunan No.1 waiter guy from Arlington.

Can't wait!!!
 
My takes:

After Jack bites a guy and hides in the sewer, he convienently had a car ready for the taking with a handy GPS enabled cellphone at the ready. Damn I want to hit a few numbers in my phone and find a location that fast.

I love that Chole makes a quick protetst of her terrorist boyfriend grabbing her ass, but then admits she likes it.

The dude from Ally McBeal as a presidential adviser just cracks me up. I flash back to his wackyness on a regular basis. Although in this contrast he is kind of a tool.

Bill is acting like a weenie... Martha is acting like Bill is her prison bitch.

Tupac looks like he was about to cry, twice...

Curtis....Damn, I did not see this coming. Sorry Jack, just wound him, you ARE that good of a shot.

A nuke on American soil, how will this play out? Scary part, I honestly could see this happening, ugh.

Last thing said, "Not after that". Jack is pissed, death count at two, but soon to go way high.

Stay tuned.

I think I'm going to change the ultimate "on American soil" 24-phrase line
to "Mister president, Jack Bauer is on the line".


weee, I'm coming home tomorrow!
 
I have mixed feelings about this show, I watch it and enjoy, but hate it at the same time. Some random reasons why...


In the whole of the U.S. only Jack Bauer can seem to do anything correctly...and then they piss on him, repeatedly.

"Jack, you've saved the U.S. ( again ), so we are turning you over to the Chinese."

Harold, from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle is a terrorist. I kept expecting him to ask for some pot and talk all raw about chicks.

Doctor Bashir from Star Trek is a former terrorist, now supposed good guy. I keep expecting him to reference his fight with the Jem H'adar armada.

Jack Bauer has two voices, his whisper, tough guy voice. And his LOUD tough guy voice.

They seem to enjoy detonating nukes, whenever possible.


I LOVED when Bauer took a bite out of that guys neck, that ruled!!!!

I enjoy the fact that they will kill off some well liked cast and make the characters change.

They do portray different people/races as the bad guys ( kills the current muslim anti-24 arguement )


I'm sure I have more pro/con stuff, but that is all for now.
