who knows, but George Mason in season 2 is one of my favorite characters of all seasons.
who watches 24?
- Thread starter Gordon Gekko
- Start date
I think the writers didn't have medical experts consulting them.
BTW, please don't give away any spoilers in this thread. I have not read most of the posts for this reason...
This show is incredible. Every episode tops the last one. I was standing up and shouting when Chloe opened up on that guy in the car. What's next????????
yea that was awesome. her last pose reminded me of rambo.
here's something from tvguide.com:
But as Day 4 comes to a close, the biggest question isn't whether Jack will end up with his girlfriend, Audrey (Kim Raver), or whether Audrey's estranged husband, Paul (James Frain), will survive his gunshot wound, or even whether the good guys from CTU can foil the maniacal terrorists from Nukes "R" Us. The real dilemma is whether those dastardly 24 writers can deliver enough zing to outdo the last three sensational season enders.
Surnow [24 creator] isn't worried. "This isn't just our best finale â it might be our best episode ever!"
When is the finale?
i think may 23..and the last 2 hours are going to be back-to-back (8-10 pm est).
Who watches this drivel? Not me!
I dislike this show immensely. I won't watch it. nope, it looks contrived, boring and the frenetic camera work sucks and is annoying as hell ! (Get your freaking fingers off the ZOOM you hacks!! Good camera is seemless! FREAKIN HACKS!)
two thumbs down!

oh, and the theme is tiresome too (how many cop shows must we endure arrggh
)
I've been watching the show on dvd (god bless Netflix!) the last couple of months and I think it's pretty darn good for a tv series. I'm presently about 2/3 thru the second season (so please don't post any spoilers if you respond!) and I think it's even better than the first. (I haven't read any of the rest of this thread because I don't want to read any spoilers.)
2nd season spoilers to follow: I thought the 2nd season started off slowly but it really picked up after a few shows and is very exciting. There's always so much going on w/lots of twists and turns. The plot twist w/the seemingly meek cute blond sister (the bride, who seemed to be a minor character) turning out to be one of the major bad guys was very cool. The actress did a great job in a very difficult role. (She also looked hot as hell in her short black wig.) I expect we'll being seeing that actress in movies soon, she's really got the acting chops. And the whole way they had Mason starting out as a coward and ending up a hero had a nice thematic arc, another good actor, and he surely had one of the most spectacular deaths ever in series tv. Sutherland is a fine actor, always believable, and he really holds the show together, it wouldn't work nearly as well w/a lesser actor.
I think the weakest part of this second season is the storyline involving the daughter, it's not as integrated in the plot as it was in the first season, but it is tied-in w/the overall story and Elisha Cuthbert has to be one of the most beautiful young women working in film or tv, and what's more she can act. If she continues to grow as an actress (I think she's still a teenager) she could be a major film star one of these days.
Yeah, it's tv, and full of plot holes and can be dumb and unbelievable, but they're not pretending to be Shakespeare. It's good dumb fun and I think that's all they mean it to be. It's an action movie disguised as a series, more like a mini-series than other wkly shows and I can't help but get caught up in whatever bizarre plot twist they will come up with next.
DVD is a great way to watch a series like this at your leisure. No commercials, there are 4 episodes to each disk so if I get really caught up I don't have to wait a wk for the next show. (Or even longer since tv series usually have a bunch of "down wks" during the season w/reruns or when they don't show at all.) After I finish 24 I plan to try Alias on dvd next, I've read a lot of good stuff about that one too.
I hope Seasons 3 and 4 are as good as the first two!

funny thing is, is that despite it's critically-acclaim, it was almost a ratings casualty after year 2. season 3 made it by the skin of it's teeth. i just stated watching last year, and got hooked as well. i caught the prior seasons Tivo'ing the A&E marathons.
it gets progressively better each day. season 2 is better than 1, 3 is better than 2, and 4 is better than 3. it fell off a little this year. they couldn't keep that momentum going forever. still better than mostly everything else out there, tho.
