Cant wait

I finally got through all 6 of my dvd sets and am so ready for this, it's really going to suck for me to wait week to week to see the next episode, ive been spoiled watching all of them on dvd.

Pretty sure it is only a 2 hour movie.

Yea i did that for the first 5 season, it kind of sucks when your watching them on DVD, because you cant stop, and before you know it 5 or 6 hours have gone by.

Just set my DVR - it's a 2 hour show. I'm so happy......it moved.

My gf and I did that many times, every single weeknight we'd cram 2 or 3 in and on a weekend night we'd stay up till 4am watching episodes and turns out we watched like 12 eps, crazy. Great show!

I remember when I first started watching 24. It was only mid season 2. Wife & I rented the 1st season and watched it in 2 1/2 days.

LOL, that's awesome. My best friends mom is going in for cancer treatment soon and will be stuck in the hospital for a few weeks so im going to loan her my season 5 and 6 of 24 so she can catchup, she'll be happy to have something to do besides feeling crappy.

I randomly tuned in one night in the third episode of season 1. Hooked me and I watched ever since. Up til 4 episodes left in last season.

I've officially dropped it now. Seasons 1-4 were money.

Seasons 1-3 were the nuts, while seasons 4-6 were just better than average television imo.

Oya, can't wait :)

Season 5 = best season.

I get them mixed up so 1-4 might be wrong. Which one is 5?

The one after season 4 and before season 6.

That season was awesome, i was impressed....

6 wasn't bad but after season 5 it seemed OK at best

Season 1 was the best.

Seasons 4 and 5 close behind.

Can someone recap season 5 again?


And I agree with the notion that season 1 was the best.

I liked season 3 with the Virus. At least i think that was season 3.

Season 5: Jack had fake his death at the end of season 4 to escape having to be captured by the Chinese for storming into the Chinese consulate. Only 4 other people knew about it -- President Palmer, Chloe, Michelle, and Tony. In the first episode of season 5, Palmer and Michelle are killed, with Tony badly injured. Chloe is a target, too, but she calls Jack and arranges to get rescued. The murder of Palmer is set up to frame Jack.

Palmer et al are killed because of Palmer's knowledge about the existence of a supply of Syntox Nerve Gas. A anti-Russian seperatist group gets ahold of the Syntox on this, the day of a arms/intelligence treaty between Russia and the U.S.

Jack is able to trace the Syntox back to a government-connected company run by Christopher Henderson, Jack's old boss at CTU (before the show). Henderson is not the main villian, though. Eventually, it is revealed that President Logan (!) had been responsible for much of the day's events. Logan was working with a mysterious man wearing a bluetooth earpiece (revealed in season 6 to be Jack's brother, Greahm).

Jack, in tandem with friends, is able to get Logan arrested. But the Chinese capture the now-out-of-hiding Jack and bring him to China to be held and tortured.

My shitty rundown does not convey how solid this season was.

Yeah, like I said 1-3 were the best. George got the virus and had to fly the plane.

2 was good but I thought 3 was bad. But not season 6 bad.

LOL, it's funny reading so many other people's experiences watching the DVD's...Me and the Missus were introduced to the series by some friends and told we just had to go out and rent season 1 on DVD to catch up...So one weekend we went down to Blockbuster and got the first two DVD's, watched them straight through (what is that, 6 episodes I think?), and were immediately on the phone to Blockbuster begging them to please hold the next two DVD's for us until we could get there...

Season 1 was some of the greatest TV ever made...

I look forward to the time when I sit down and watch all the seasons again. Don't want to do it too often though or they get old.

I love the guest stars on the show, there have been some good ones

Their lack of fear about knocking off main characters is another outstanding point in their favor.

I still want Michelle back though.:mad:

Some i was hopeful wouldn't get knocked off, but it is awesome for the show. I heard 1 or 2 possibly may be coming back in season 7

1 or 2? I heard only 1.

I heard 2
RUMOR below, look at own risk...









Tony and Jacks Daughter

I was referring to people that were thought to be dead. She wasn't.

EDIT

and they better have a friggin better storyline if she is involved. They have failed miserably with her starting at season 2.

But Kim was never "knocked off" in the first place. The audience was simply given a wonderful reprieve. In fact, the absence of Kim was probably the only redeeming part of Season 6 beyond the first 5 episodes.

Gotcha and yeah i agree she was pretty much eye candy, i still love how she got a job at CTU, lol

Very true

When I first heard she would be emplyed at CTU was WTF moment for me.

Please let her not come back...That whiny little bitch was an absolute drag on the show.

I believe it may be a brief stay not a full season thing

One episode too long too.

sorry, she is hot but not worthy of this show at all.

agreed, she compromises everything and is better off being away, it's always stupid shit

Elisha Cuthbert belongs on every show. Does not matter how whiney she is. I will just turn down the or mute the tv and read lips.

go rent the girl next door

I cannot believe Kim is still going after all these years. She is so dumb and has the worst luck ever. She makes the characters on Heroes seem smart. I would have put a bullet in my head if I were her. A sample of her days:

Day 1: Boyfriend kidnaps her, gets killed when he tries to help her escape. Her mom is killed by her fathers lover/partner.

Day 2: Gets stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a crazy loner, then is held hostage in a convienent store robbery. And i am sure some other reeruned shit.

Day3: Works for CTU and is trapped in the basement with a mole who is also in co op with Jack. Hooks up with jacks handless partner who leaves her shortly after?

Day 4: While visiting her dad atwork, CTU is attacked with Bio weapons and she watches all her old friends and co workers die in front of her.

Am I missing something?

The only problem i have had with them killing people is President Palmer and Curtis. Curtis was the black ****ing jack bauer! President Palmer was jacks soul mate damnit and come on how can you kill Pedro Cerrano?

You left out the reeruned cougar in season two. How could you forget a storyline as stupid as that one. heh

ROFL I forgot about the Cougar

Ahhhh yes....I still remember it vividly. Kim coming out of the shower in a wife beater.

You know that wouldn't have ended well in real life

It wouldn't have ended well for her in MY house.

ROFL

w00t

Elisha Cuthbert is one of the hottest babes of all time back in her prime. Proof when I get home to upload.

Right.... I barely remember it. Her van crashes or something and a cougar shows up at the end of the episode and then in the next episode its gone? I honestly dont remember much more about it. is that the Gist of it?

enjoy

The secret to filling endless minutes of prime time television with nothing more than a hottie with a furrowed brow and the tick-tock of the 24 clock.

Tonight BEOTCHES!

my complaint about 24 and FOX too many comercial breaks. Think God for P-n-P

no more than anyone else. Break after opening credits. break at 15. break at 30. break at 40. break at 50

I hate it too but it is pretty much the norm anymore.

Who watches commercials anymore?

DVR. Let the show run for 30 minutes before you start watching. Fast forward through commercials.

don't have one and won't be getting one for a while. Not in the budget.

Recordable DVD?

Wouldn't be in HD then. What would be the point.

also, who is the democrat in this scenario. she sounds republican.

Damn, that's gotta burn....

It's unamerican.

silent clock

So I had to miss this. Worth buying?

and you'll stay dead this time!!!!

Damn, that was fantastic. Much better than I was expecting.

I liked the Season 7 preview at the end better though.

?

Man that season 7 preview looked great.:clap:

nice. Story.

Peeps that were able to watch 24: Redemption -- is it worth buying on Tuesday? I didn't see it tonight.
