My second favorite season of TV ever (behind Veronica Mars S1). Its all down hill after that, though.
Also, you can get it for a HELL of a lot cheaper. I see it sold in pretty much every store for 29.99, and thats Canadian. So like $25 US. Find a better deal.
Walmart, Futureshop in Canada.
Yeah Juice, I have managed to restrain myself from downloading the episodes. Thankfully, I only have to wait another 30 hours until some S6 HDTV goodness. But everyone is raving about the first 4 episodes, thats for sure. Im not gonna allow myself to get sucked into the hype though. S5 started off with about 4 awesome episodes too, then we got about 18 lame ones before the last 2 great ones.
I bought it for $15 a couple of years ago :spin:plutoed
But I still haven't watched a single episode, lol.
It's trashy republican porn, so I am sure you will like it, PD.
That said, the first 2 seasons are pretty worthwhile. 3 was marginal enough in quality that I figured I should just skip the rest.
It was so awesome when Jack cursed in the prequel to Season 4.
"I can find my own fucking job."
I wish he could curse all the time too, TVC. Especially after watching The Wire lately. :(
Yeah, I kind of preferred S4 to S3. I rank them as S2 > S1 > S5 > S3 > S4. Fourth season was just too damn goofy to me.You mean S3 to S4? ???
If season 4 is worse then 3, no way I'm going to continue.
what is 24 even about?
but how what is the concept about?

I rented the first four episodes of the first season, along with Reservoir Dogs :)About fucking time.

I might need to watch it again before I post my negative review and get plutoed>:(
*yawn*
I suppose that's one way to look at it. But in reality you can sit on your computer and critisize events all you want but at the end of the day there are people out there deciding what to do with informants who might know something about terrorist attacks. If you had one of these people in a cell and you knew he had information on an imminent terrorist attack, what would you do? And would you give a fuck about what some asshole was typing about you in his safe apartment lol?
It's a morbid, tough question. 24 will not be looked back as some indictment on American acceptance of the "torture" we may or may not be using. It's a very complicated issue in my judgement
*yawn*

It's not a complicated issue at all. Torturing people is inhumane, even if it can gain info that can save lives. Similar to how the death penalty is inhumane for the simple reason that it is absolutely wrong to take the life of another human being.

The answer is not nearly as clear cut to those who are actually involved in these situations.
I'm against capitol punishment - that should be left up to the higher power - but I disagree about it being absolutely wrong to take life. If you have to defend yourself - be it your life, your family's, country, etc - then of course you do what you have to do.
I was in a pretty cool sociology class not too long ago, and one of the students in the class was fresh from Iraq (dude had some of the most fucked up stories I've ever heard). As usualy some jackass tried the whole "oh yea they're just killing innocent people over there rampantly, they all are guilty, etc" and the marine raised his hand to speak and then said "sir, has a 12 year old ever pointed an AK-47 at you?" On the surface that seems like a simple statement, but it's far more complex and layered and really demonstrates just how little credibility people have when they automatically jump onto this shit and critisize. If your life is on the line and you have a second to act, you're not going to be thinking "what ifs"

It's not a complicated issue. They... glorify the threat of terrorism. Republican porn, as White Man said. It's a great show for being entertained, but it's not promoting torture of terrorists to be accepted. At least, I don't think so. It's just a show.
Republican porn, eh?.
Ya, that's why last season's main plotline featured the president trying to orchestrate a war under false pretences in order to secure America's continued world dominance and access to oil, and Jack trying to foil this plot...... :duh

Terrible show. This needs to be shitcanned along with Lost.
"I don't like it, therefore it should be cancelled." Man, I hate self-important fucks like that. You don't like it? Well, every TV has channel and power buttons, your choice, use them both if you're feeling frisky.
I don't watch it. I do use the power buttons. Yet people still talk about this terrible show. Invent an off button for that, asshole.
Just got finished watching the first four episodes of season one, back to back. I didn't plan on watching all of them tonight but HOLY SHIT
Mind=blown
DON'T CLICK ON THREADS DISCUSSING SHOWS YOU DON'T LIKE
There's your off button for that, douchebag.
Fuck it, I'm going to buy the first season boxset, perhaps tomorrow. Although I shouldn't buy it tomorrow because I need to do some homework lol

I mean places more like Europe, who used to generally "like" us in the 90's (Europe loved Clinton).
I tend to think our torture is far more humane than anything that would be done to you in these countries we so desperately feel we need to have a good image with.

Nobody's perfect, PD. But we've really sucked when it comes to foreign policy ever since Bush stepped into office.
Not Tony Blair. What a man, what a hero.
everyone has their hand in the cookie jar with respect to that, just to different degrees.
Lonestar: What specifically don't you like?

Most people seem to now hate him because of his initial mega-pimping of the Iraq war.
Why would you want to know anything, PD? You're going to finish the season by week's end if you continue at this rate anyway
