But even 24 fans hated season 6!
I didn't like 24 season 6, and I'm a fan, but I still think it was better than a lot of TV out there, and the show's far from dead.
Season 3, for me at least, was another weak point in the show. I just don't think they can finish out a three season "arc." It was still good, but the entire
"first part of the season was planned out lolz" sucked, and then they killed off Nina, which was and is the biggest antagonist in the series. Both Seasons 3 and 6 ended well, and I think that Season 6 might be accepted better on DVD, similar to how Lost season 2 was.
I think they should keep Tony in his "villain" form around for more than one season. This, yet again, will do something that 24 has never done: Jack will not bring all the bad guys to justice at the end of the season for once. Hopefully they will do something like this.
Plus, CTU not being around will make the show a lot more fresh from the beginning. Hopefully whenever Chloe and Buchanan show up they will use them well, sort of how Tony and Michelle was used in Season 4, or even more like how Tony was used in Season 5.
