Title: OMG 24 rocked my socks off and ate my toes
Post by: Phoenix Dark on August 22, 2006, 11:14:05 AM: I watched an entire episode of it for the first time yesterday. Now I've never been a big time TV watcher - outside of sports and the inevitable guilty pleasure (IE Flavor of Love), I don't watch anything. Never seen Lost. Never seen House. Never seen The Shield, etc etc etc.

But god dammit 24 blew me away. In the episode the Sec. of Defense got kidnapped by some arab terrorists, who broadcasted the live feed on national TV. Anyway the president decided to BLOW UP the area where the terrorists were, thus killing everyone instead of allowing them to do it. But Jack Bauer is all like "fuck this I'm going in!" and he goes into the compound with a god damned handgun. He saves the Sec. of Defense and gives him a gun! Now I can't imagine Condi Rice getting a gun and killing terrorists.

"Fuck Ash - I AM the boom stick"

Awesome!

Then there were all these side stories, like this family who apparently were tied with the terrorists. The father tried to have his own son killed, but he escaped lol. And god dammit his mom is hot! I like her accent, and she has sexy eyes for a terrorist.

Sweet show. I'm going to buy the DVD and watch the show from the beginning. Has it been canceled?

Post by: MrAngryFace on August 22, 2006, 12:22:45 PM: Its weird, after watching alias (and many people will argue 24 is a better show) I couldnt get 'caught up' in 24 like everyone else seems to. I think the Alias formula made me pretty immune to cliffhangers haha.

Plus its good clean silly spy fun.

Post by: CajoleJuice on August 22, 2006, 01:36:09 PM: Glad to see another fan. This show just keeps building more and more of a loyal audience I think.

I think I'm getting sick of it a bit by now...(I keep saying that to myself and then I eat it up)

Dude, I'll tell you now that once you watch it all (and trust me you will), you will beat yourself for not watching earlier. Start from season 1 if you can. If not, then season 2 should do. Also know that David Palmer is the best President of the United States ever. Yes, even better than Clinton.

I'll start from season 1. Sadly, Palmer's death was spoiled for me thanks to a gif on GAF

Season 2 is the best. You should watch it next.

Post by: CajoleJuice on August 22, 2006, 05:17:20 PM: You should really watch from the first season if at all possible. If you were a friend with me in RL, I would've thrown my DVD box sets at you already.

Post by: Solo on August 23, 2006, 10:14:06 AM: I joined this party early in 2006. Its a great show, but it does seem to be steadily declining in its ability to intrigue me, and in coming up with fresh stories and characters. 1 and 2 tower above the other seasons. 3 was easily my least favorite, and I hated it. 4 was an improvement, but still just OK. 5 was an improvement again, but also just alright.

They STILL haven't managed to deliver a better scene than
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Mason's death. That will go down as the best scene and episode in 24 history. Mason was the man.
