Any fans of 24 here?
 
I've been a 24 addict for a few years now. Me and the wife watch it religiously every week.

Up to season 8 now and honestly even a couple days later after watching this week's episode I'm still pissed off about it. I haven't been this pissed at the writers of 24 in a very long time. I understand the why and what it's gonna bring in the final episodes, but UGHH.

Anyone else share my sentiments? :td

I haven't missed an episode since the start of the 2nd season. The first season didn't entirely hook me, but now I'm a fanatic. I get that it's the last season and all, but that was depressing to watch. I am right there with ya brother.

THIS SEASON IS KILLING ME. Nothing is going right.

I'm with you Jordan. I just kept saying, "They can't do that." This is only the second season for me, but I am completely hooked.

I hate it but I cannot turn that darn show off once it starts.

I stopped watching about halfway through last season. Started this season again, only to do the same thing. Just not holding my interest. First 5 seasons were spectacular, though.

I kinda get the same feeling. The last few seasons have not been as epic as say, the seasons with President David Palmer. Those were awesome. And then they killed him off, too.


ughhhh

It reminded me of Austin Powers... http://blog.hubspot.com/Portals/249/...esized-600.jpg


You could see it coming a mile away.... and just as ridiculous.

Re: Any fans of 24 here?
 
I have watched every show since season 3 and actually bought the dvd sets for 1 & 2 to watch. But it is so common for shows to peak before coming to an end and so it went with 24, while I think the current series is better than most other shows it is certainly not up to the standard set by the last 3 seasons. As much as I have enjoyed it I guess it is time for it to end.:td:mad:

Now my plan for the ending is down the tube as I thought Jack and Rene would run off together to live happily ever after but that obviously want happen. So what happens? Is Jack going to die or just move to CA with his daughter or What???:banger

I have not watched it in a few years. They are talking about transitioning into a series of '24' movies since the tv portion of the show will be over at the end of this season.

Re: Any fans of 24 here?
 
I think my family started watching in the 4th season, and while we waited every week, we watched the first three seasons to catch up. The show is still decent, better than most of the crap on tv, but it has definitely fallen a little bit in the past couple seasons. Hopefully this one ends good, and the series ends memorably (unlike something like say The Soprano's)...

Re: Any fans of 24 here?
 
We are die hard fans of 24 ever sense the beginning. On that note, I don't watch 24 on Monday's. Since one episode is not enough, we DVR a minimum of 2 episodes and then watch 2 or maybe three at a time and fast forward though the commercials.

Re: Any fans of 24 here?
 
Slightly redeeming last night, but I wasn't satisfied.

Jack needs to kill at least 3 people an hour with his bare hands to make me smile this season...

Last night was pretty good, but come on, Jack doesn't know how to fly a helicopter :r

I loved it a couple weeks ago when he finally killed the enemy (Dana Walsh)

Dana: "Jack, what do you need me to do?"
Jack: "Nothing" BANG! :gn and another BANG! for good measure

Re: Any fans of 24 here?
 
This is a big one tonight but I am sure they will be bigger and bigger till the end in 2 more weeks. I will certainly miss this show when it is gone but I agree that the writers have gone over the top and are out of ideas now so best it ends before crapping out.

elderboy02 05-17-2010 06:17 AM

Re: Any fans of 24 here?
 
I thought the episode last week was great when he gutted the guy for eating the SIM card. He just cleans the blood off it and it works :r

Not sure how they're gonna top body armor, assault rifles and a motorcade :r

That was freaking awesome!

I also loved how they cut to the scene with the Russian guys and every one of them is dead except for the one guy. Novokovic had the poker sticking out of him :r

Charles Logan was crying like a little baby when he was face to face with Jack :r Then again, I would give Jack whatever info he wanted if he was interrogating me :r

Reminded me of The Hangover.. as they were panning around the room, you were trying to figure out wtf just happened. :D

Anyone gonna make guesses to who the "time to finish what I started" *smirk* is aimed at?

I see two targets... one more obvious than the other.

I think he is going to snipe the Russian president. Or he could take out President Taylor.

Good point.. didn't think about the Russian President...

Figured the obvious target would be Logan.. but I guess he didn't make the call.


I doubt anything Taylor did would warrant Jack sniping her... but he will burn her to the ground with the evidence... then again Logan will go down with her (in a perfect world... but odds are he'll worm away from any involvement)

elderboy02 05-18-2010 01:00 PM

Re: Any fans of 24 here?
 
I don't think it would be Logan. He could have killed him last night if he wanted to. Remember, the Ruskey president ordered the hit on Renee.

He got more info out of Logan alive than dead.

Doesn't mean he can't finish him off later. :D


Or at least lets hope...

captain53 05-18-2010 01:07 PM

Re: Any fans of 24 here?
 
Russian President is my best guess, it is all about getting even for Rene and he is the only one left for that.

JE3146 05-18-2010 01:35 PM

Re: Any fans of 24 here?
 
While not directly involved with Renee, I hope that worm at CTU gets his...

F this show.... seriously.

Good riddance.

All that buildup after Renee's death and you get cold feet Jack?

Nothing like setting up a story for a movie....

And once again... Jack strolls off into the sunset..... to be hunted by a foreign government.

:r:r And they left quite a bit of an opening for another season too (and maybe an excellent movie if they secure some top notch writers).

Other than that, enjoyed this alleged final season...

They had a movie planned for 3+ years.

Instead they did 24 : Redemption followed by Season 7 to wipe the sour taste out of our mouths from Season 6. Mostly because of the writer's strike.


So instead they unleash this ultimately hypocritical ending to all that had been fueled in the prior 6+ hours of the show in a money grab attempt to setup a big screen appearance for Bauer fans.

Season 8 of '24' should have been labeled '26.5'.

Thank you to Fox... the wonderful network that cancels great shows on a whim and pile drives ever greater shows into the dirt until they become sour, dry and rehashed... then they take one more smack at it to make a movie out of it (See The Simpsons, Family Guy(though televised).. etc) in an attempt at more profit from the fan base.

I'll be torrenting this one. :fu2 Fox

It appears that a "24" movie is in the works:

http://www.entertainmentandshowbiz.com/24-24-finale-24-movie-is-it-really-happening-2010052555251

Another web site that I perused indicates they are in the second draft stage...

Some episodes as well as some seasons were better than others but all-in-all it was one hell of a show.:tu:tu:tu
