"RE: Season 8 Premier - Hours 4pm to 8pm" I kinda like the new CTU but it is over the top. New computer girl and her abusive trailer trash boyfriend are annoying.

It's the Washington D.C. CTU isn't it? The original CTU was always in L.A. I'm not sure how much I'm going to like this season. Same plot, some new faces. I'm glad we are seeing a lot more of Chloe. I found myself really annoyed at the reason created for Jack to remain in the action--he has to babysit Renee. PUH-leeze! We all knew that Jack didn't REALLY want to go back to L.A. and be daddy and grandpa. It would have been more honest for him to just say, This is my life. This is who I am. I'm not coming to live with you in L.A. I will die in this job." They are better off without him. It's a Tribe!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Dakota 5643 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-19-10, 06:46 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Season 8 Premier - Hours 4pm to 8pm" My thoughts: 1. I thought they (CTU) were in NY. 2. I was hoping that Chloe would be taking her meds so her intelligence would come out but not her problem personality traits. It gets tiring. 3. I like Jack's new attitude, or maybe just a commitment to life. 4. Everyone, including Hastings, should know to listen to Jack. It happens every year. They should know by now. 5. Renee is messed up, but we'll see what develops. Could be interesting if she doesn't get killed. Jack's women don't usually last, one way or another. 6. Whatshername, the one with the problem ex-boyfriend. Bad writing. If she has some kind of shady past, how'd she get a job at CTU? Not buying that even a routine background check wouldn't have come up with some kind of red flag. 7. I'd like to see someone sharp and competent at CTU. Hastings is being shown in a semi-negative light so far. He screws up but is nice afterwards, admits he's wrong. 8. I still love that Jack can solve problems in 24 hours. Who doesn't need someone like that? Give Jack my address and tell him to bring Chuck Norris. Arkie does it artistically   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Tahj 4136 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 01-20-10, 05:07 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Season 8 Premier - Hours 4pm to 8pm" 1. Yeah, it is NY, not DC as I first thought. 2. I think Chloe's personality is a highlight of the show. We didn't get to see enough of her last season. 3. New attitude, same as the old attitude, IMO. 4. That's why the plotlines have become so hackneyed. The director is a cliche. By now, Jack's rep and record should precede him and everyone should have his back. 5. We'll see how the Renee plotline develops. So far, it's a little ridiculous. 6. Agree. 7. Freddie Prinze's character is that, so far. 8. Well, yeah, but we all have to have a willing suspension of disbelief in order to keep watching. Plus, we have to keep the drinking games alive, "Damn it!" It's a Tribe! I may have to quit watching this season due to the strain of excessive eye rolling.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Season 8 Premier - Hours 4pm to 8pm" Now that everything has sunk in and DH and I have more than mulled it all over... I reflect a lot of the opinions already stated. Although it has been a somewhat tedious start, I simply can't let go of 24! I love me some Jack . On to my list: 1. I was under the impression that this CTU was new and was in NYC, but I may have read into/missed something. 2. I do not like how CTU's technology is supposedly too difficult for Chloe to get a grasp of in a month. I do, however, like how her character is given the ability (although somewhat hindered, at this point) to think like Jack. 3. Why do they insist on having the new CTU characters be so narrow-minded? Also, Dana/Jenny... over it already. 4. When in the heck did Renee become a hard-nosed bad-a$$ that worked undercover? Before or after last season took place (I thought they referenced her being out of the FBI for six years after her undercover stint... did I make that up)? I just don't see it. Last season she could barely handle applying pressure to a gun wound to gain information needed. Now, she can cut off fingers just for the heck of it? Maybe it is just because I never really liked her character, but something isn't adding up for me. 5. I love the somewhat new Jack. Hopefully, people will begin (finally!) to understand that he is always right and should have complete power to go with his instincts with whatever backup is necessary.

msquared 25 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 01-20-10, 09:10 AM (EST) 9. "RE: Season 8 Premier - Hours 4pm to 8pm" My impression is that CTU got moved to NY from LA and the main entrance is located across the river from the UN. I think we are seeing the UN building in the background when Dana is outside with the Ex. Renee was undercover for the FBI with the Russian mob 6 years ago. Then she came out of cover, and had her day with Jack 2-3 years ago. Then she had issues and was fired/let go after her experiences with Jack. She seems to have issues similar to what Jack had back in seasons 2/3. She does not seem to care if she lives or dies. I think Jack senses this in her. It is odd to see Jack as the voice of reason. Cutting off a hand with a grinder is something he would have done a few years ago. Now he is the one who is appaled. I was even able to tolerate Kim this year. And Jack seemed happy. That does not bode well. How many years have passed in Jack's world? Only 8 have passed in our world, but it seems like 1-1/2 to 3 years is common and that would mean at least 12 -18 years have passed for Jack. There have been what, 4 Presidents? Even if some have died in office or only done a few years, Jack has to be getting old. This is almost the exact opposite problem other shows have, where the actors are too old to play the character. Keifer is almost too young to play Jack anymore. msquared   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 10083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-22-10, 07:17 PM (EST) 16. "RE: Season 8 Premier - Hours 4pm to 8pm" >She seems to have issues similar to what Jack had back >in seasons 2/3. She does not seem to care >if she lives or dies. I think Jack senses >this in her. Yes, this is where the potential in this storytline is. Remember Episode 1 of Season 2, when George Mason has to call Jack out of retirement (like Hastings did with Renee) ... and he beheaded the federal prisoner who was giving them information on the terrorist cell and used the severed head to gain admittance to the cell? At the time, Jack was supposed to be nihilistic after the death of Teri and Nina's betrayal, and he was estranged from everyone, even Kim (who ended up as cougar bait). So he's been where Renee is. For this to be interesting, he needs to show Renee how to get from there to where he is supposed to be now. I have my fingers crossed. >How many years have passed in Jack's world? Only 8 >have passed in our world, but it seems like 1-1/2 >to 3 years is common and that would mean at >least 12 -18 years have passed for Jack. There have >been what, 4 Presidents? Season 1: D. Palmer running for office. Let's call it year x. Season 2: D. Palmer in office. Season 3: D. Palmer withdraws from re-election campaign. Year x+4 Season 4: New President dies in office and is succeeded by Logan. Season 5: Logan arrested at end and succeeded by VP. Season 6: W. Palmer newly elected to succeed Logan's VP. Dies in office just weeks after election and is succeeded by Daniels. Year x+9. Season 7: Taylor is newly elected to replace Daniels. Year x+13. Season 8: Taylor still appears to be in her first term, but Kim's former baby Teri appears to be 3, so let's say that two years have elapsed. That makes it year x+15. Which fits, since Kim was supposed to be about 16 in season 1 and now appears to be about 31. But even if Jack was just 18 when Kim was born, he would have been about 35 in season 1 and would be about 50 now. In real life, Kiefer Sutherland is only 43. But he looks like those have been some hard years.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Season 8 Premier - Hours 4pm to 8pm" CTU got moved to NY from LA This is the New York field office. I do love the whole underground bunker vibe. I was confused about Renee a little as well. If she spent that much time undercover with the Russian Mob, how was she such a wuss when Jack met her last year.

kingfish 16088 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-20-10, 03:36 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Season 8 Premier - Hours 4pm to 8pm" With the character development for Rene last season, her evolvement (devolvement?) from a humanistic and emotional agent to one who begins to see why Jack is the way he is, and empathizes, and begins to be like him, I expected to see her take on the Jack Bauer role, relegating him to a advisory type presence. I think that's still the way the show is heading. Jack is much rougher and older in appearance. He's definitely been rode hard and put away wet, and yearning for the grandfather role. If this show is to get out of the rut it's dug for itself, Jack has to become less of a lead character, and other agents have to assume preeminence. IMO.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 10083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-09-10, 05:10 PM (EST) 18. "RE: Season 8 Premier - Hours 4pm to 8pm" I disagree about the President but totally agree about the Dana Walsh/Director Hastings storyline. The Dana storyline is one of those incredibly stupid plotlines which 24 throws in at the start of each season to waste time and keep us from noticing that Hastings is completely unqualified to be running CTU. The sooner it ends, the better. But there was every reason that President Taylor should tell the British ambassador what's really going on after the British ambassador committed his government to sticking with Taylor's peace negotiations (despite Ethan saying previously that the rumor was that the British were wavering). In fact, that was one of the few parts of the whole show that made sense to me. I fail to understand what is going on with President Hassan. We haven't been given any context for his belief that people in his delegation other than his brother are working against him. Obviously, there is some twist that we aren't supposed to know yet, but I think I'd rather have him blown up in week 4 right about now. I see we're back to baddies torturing Jack next week. I didn't think he could survive much more torture, since he actually died during torture in season 2 and then was tortured by the Chinese for 18 months after season 5. The bad part is that the main plot with Jack, Renee and the now-deceased Laitanan has been going well. I liked that Renee snapped and killed Vladimir this week, and we've already seen that Bazhaev will kill his own son to protect his big score, so the main plot has been constructed fairly well. Too bad there are such holes elsewhere so far.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Gothmog 2885 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 05-11-10, 05:33 PM (EST) 74. "Regarding that mountain lion..." Interesting that Executive Producer Howard Gordon doesn't see that (the mountain lion) as one of the show's worst decisions. Zap2it: What was your worst decision? Howard Gordon: "I feel as though the story made a very wrong turn in season 6. I don't think the idea of Jack's family was a wrong turn, but I think the way we accelerated the story was wrong, and we paid for it the balance of the year. That, to me, is one of the narrative gaps I don't think we ever quite recovered from. We did, on an episode-by-episode basis,or on a certain arc-by-arc basis, but the DNA of the season never really recovered from it. "Honestly, other than that, I'm remarkably free of regrets, because even the moments that one would imagine we'd regret -- like the cougar or amnesia or shooting JoBeth Williams in the leg, the moments people would point to as being gaffes -- I have to say, they occurred in moments when the story needed them to happen. They were really just collateral damage of the real-time conceit." Full interview here. Well, Gordon's right about the family drivel in season 6. But as for the justifcation of the other stuff, is he that delusional, or does he honestly believe that the "Pam-Ewing's-dream / We-can-do-whatever-we-want-and-dramatic-logic-be-damned" method of story writing makes for good TV?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 10083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-11-10, 07:14 PM (EST) 75. "RE: Regarding that mountain lion..." Actually, Gothmog, I agree with Gordon on the cougar. Kim's story line was so weak at that point that it just resembled the Perils of Pauline, with a cliff-hanger every week. It didn't "taint" season 2, just the character of Kim. This year shows the weakness in the 24-hour format, in the person of Dana Walsh. Every part of her storyline was unbelievably weak until we got to her being allied with the Iranians and being a Russian mole. If we'd left out the rest, it wouldn't have hurt the flow of the season one bit. Yet I'm sure Howard Gordon would argue that the Jenny storyline served the needs of the clock, and the ending has shown us that it didn't taint season 8. By contrast, everything about season 6 was wrong, from Jack's return from China to Graem being Jack's brother to the entire Philip Bauer plot. The only thing they did right was (at the last minute) dump the silly twist of Graem's son actually being Philip's son.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

And this was the week I was sitting there going, "Oh, come on now!" and wishing the hour would have been over about 5 minutes in! Let's see, you're in a hotel with someone that's you know is a terrorist and going to use you as a hostage and you don't just lay down on the ground and make him carry you at least? He's not going to shoot you cause he needs you alive so? No, let me get up and run when he tells me to run. I would have laid down on the ground like a wet noodle. If he wanted to take me anywhere, he would have to freakin' drag me. Or how about cutting your arm so you're bleeding all over the place and leaving a trail of blood or smearing it cause you're dragging your arm? No, she's just an idiot who's as weak as a kitten and can't even open a window. Love her grunting and groaning to open a stupid hotel window. And the parole officer is allowed to wander around CTU because ... ??? They're in the middle of an emergency situation and he just walks into the hallway - twice - and is looking at all the pretty screens with no one stopping him? And Dana is talking to him why? And when he says do you want me to talk to your supervisor, she doesn't say, "Go ahead, pal!" Again, because CTU is in an emergency situation and a freakin' ex-con is where on the list of things that are important? He would have thrown his butt out of CTU so fast it wouldn't have been funny! Absolutely ridiculous! And why is CTU having the daughter drive alone in the car back to CTU once she's escaped? I would think once they found out her position (and it's strange how she can't read street addresses - myopic?), they would have driven to meet her or had a police car meet her until Jack could get there or someone else. Or had her go to a police station. Oh, that's right, NYC police officers are yokels who don't guard their back and just get mowed down by a wily coyote because he was head of security? They don't have SWAT teams of anything because of course the UN is in NYC in case they've forgotten. And they don't wear bullet proof vests? What? Are they talking about the same NYC that I know and love? Nope, only Jack is smart enough to know what the guy is going to do and again the compliant hostage doesn't scream out, "Watch out!" or "We're here!" Love submissive bingo brained women. Really do. The most half-a@@ed, ridiculous, implausible, stupid, full-of-holes episode that they've had on this season.

Yet no one was yawning, and Chloe did a complicated rewiring without even an energy pill to go on. It's supposed to be after 4am, dammit! There's never been a season of this show in which the 24-hour concept has seemed as artificial as this one. Anyone who has ever driven for an hour in NYC knows that the distances being traversed in the time frames allotted are preposterous. Maybe it's time to abandon the concept of the show taking place in real time, because the only way for these people to get from place to place in the time allotted is if they are using Star Trek's transporter, and I didn't think I was watching science fiction. I expected Renee to show up to save Jack, as long as she had the right transporter coordinates. Other than that, she wouldn't have been within miles of the place.

"RE: Over halfway home" We had to suffer through the zKevin plot because the writers underwrote the lead-in to the season. Really, all we needed to know was that "Dana Walsh" was a fake name for a small-time criminal turned computer expert, that she was engaged to Cole, who was completely deceived by her, and that someone very sophisticated had to help her fake her credentials to get the CTU job. Instead, they gave us a silly subplot to get us there. So far, there have been very few high-level decisions that needed to be made. We haven't seen much of Cherry Jones or Bob Gunton. Instead, it's been a basic chase, similar to season 3 and the first part of season 4. Let's see where it goes. When this is over, maybe Jack can go work for Google to get back at the evil Chinese.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

But at least now we realize she is working for someone other than Samir. She is just helping him as a sideline from her real plan. Will Taren let the bomb go off? He seems a little hesitant about it. I suppose he could just be upset that he is the one that has to stay and blow up with it. But still... Like the way Renee told Jack that she was not leaving and she was coming with him.

"RE: 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM" LAST EDITED ON 03-30-10 AT 05:21 PM (EST) I liked this episode a lot. I liked the debate over the terrorist demand at the meeting with the President; it's always nice to see Bob Gunton play a good guy. And this is the first time I can remember since Season 2 that we're had an insurrection against the President without someone behind it being evil (assuming that Rob Weiss isn't a secret accomplice of Dana/Jenny's). I like seeing President Taylor take the same approach as President Bush: we don't negotiate harm to our friends with terrorists. I loved Jack's intuition that something was wrong when he couldn't get a response from Ethan -- and his action made sense considering his history, even though that action seemed like sheer intuition to anyone who didn't know his history. The only part that seemed contrived was Dana/Jenny being able to knock out the trunk line for 30 seconds so that the terrorists were able to escape. But that was a minor flaw in what I thought of as a good episode otherwise.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The gimmick for bringing Renee back (infiltrating the Russian mob) was weak and pointless, since that whole story line went nowhere. The Dana/Jenny story was worse than pointless and just seemed to be low-quality filler. The IRK storylines (the premier cheats on his wife; the first couple are de facto separated; the US is upset as he cracks down on his enemies (in an operation that seemingly took minutes)) were just dumb. Last week was the first time that we started to focus on the real plot -- the Manhattan nuke -- and this episode really got it moving. The silly Dana/Jenny stuff came to an end with the murder of the parole officer. The silly "we don't trust Chloe" plots came to an end with last week's "el stupido" topper over fighting about the recovery from the EMP. (You know, if we wanted to have a silly Chloe backplot, I would have enjoyed learning how she was dealing with her baby when she had to stay at work all night. But her family has disappeared. Probably just as well, since we were stuck with Dana/Jenny's.) Renee came back in after the crazy meltdown. The diplomatic crisis gives us a reason to get Logan back in. Let's hope there's no more filler from here on out. We've had to watch too much already.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The ending wasn't formulaic (Bauer didn't save Hassan), Chloe pulled off some competent CTU support work, the Rene character continued to be rehabilitated into the uber practical yet sensitive type of persona that is Jack, and the (unfortunately typical for 24) plot inside the President’s circle was exposed. Good stuff. If he had saved Hassan, they might have achieved world peace, and we all know that's a bit much to swallow, even in the fictional world of 24. Also, Katee Sackhoff is one sexy lady. As a tomboy/man starship fighter pilot, as a loyal American fighting terrorist threats, as a desperate person willing to kill to hide her past, and as a evil mercenary/traitor to her county.

And the part where they were chasing Dana was a callback to Nina. It was just the same. Instead of Jack after Nina in the parking garage it was Cole and Dana. I swear they used the same script and just changed the character names from Jack/Nina to Cole/Dana. I expected Hassan to be dead when Jack found him. But it was still emotional when it happened. Arlo almost got it from Dana. I still have a problem with Dana. She was so obvious and yet she got away with so much before being caught. Even when she was making up stories about her migraine medicine the guard didn't see any red flags when she changed her mind? Her acting just doesn't do it for me.

There's Chloe, though it's taken awhile for her to get in the swing this season. But, last night I realized near the end of the episode that that old familiar adreneline rush was there.

Renee's death, just after the long-awaited sex scene, was shocking, even if I was expecting it. Chloe as head of CTU is so wrong yet so logical that I presume the writers stunned themselves when it occurred to them. And Logan is in bed with the bad Russians, who are the real villains behind the IRK plot! I like the idea of having an evil government behind the terrorists. I especially like that it's evil Russians, which brings us back into alignment with the geopolitical realities. Many seasons of 24 started fast and then died off as the writers ran out of ideas (see seasons 1 and 3).

Logan - hate the dirty b tard, but it's interesting to see him back to help close down this season. (I'd have rather had David Palmer resurrected, but that's another story - I still think of him as our first AA president) I will be interested to see what kind of leverage he has - that's intriguing.

I thought this was another great episode, built on the dilemma of whether you can build a lasting peace by suppressing justice. Obviously, I believe you can't. You certainly can't build peace by cover-ups, even if you can get photo-ops out of them. Could you imagine he reaction in the IRK once they find out that the Russians killed their leader and the U.S. helped cover it up? In the show, only the secretary of state seems to realize that this isn't a road to peace. And Jack Bauer, of course, although not for reasons of diplomacy. but rather in his role of the Right Hand of God. The parallels between Logan and Nixon are apparently intentional. Nixon was considered to be an expert on the USSR, even dating back to his role in getting Pepsi sold there.

Anyone else think Chloe goes into the field looking for Jack after he survives the Russian assassination attempt next week? After all, even Milo did fieldwork. Chloe never has, and this is the last chance. Meanwhile, you have to wonder how long President Taylor can so deceptively pretend to be Dalia Hassan's friend. In the real world, not the 24 world, her deception so far would sabotage any attempt at peace in our time. I'm curious how the show will handle it. In other news, apparently the plan for a "24" movie is going forward. Kiefer Sutherland implied that the movie would include Jack having to fly to Europe over the course of the day, which has never been possible under the TV format.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

At the time, I thought of the last part of that episode as anti-climatic because of the impending arrival of Palmer and the subsequent Chinese embassy invasion.

Please, give me some! – Daniel Ausiello: The May 24 series finale will find Jack squaring off against his most formidable adversary yet: Chloe! “Chloe and Jack are in a real face-off,” reveals executive producer Howard Gordon. “And Chloe has to decide between her duty and her friendship and allegiance to Jack. Their relationship gets put to the test in a way it’s never been tested before. It’s a collision course that culminates in the finale. It’s about as hairy a confrontation as you can possibly imagine, and it’s a nearly lethal one.” Playing those scenes was “really fun” and “very emotional,” says Mary Lynn Rajskub. “ kind of crazy…what happens between Jack and Chloe. I’ve never done anything like that.”   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Noon - 1:00 pm" I'm guessing that at least in the context of "24", whether or not waterboarding is torture or not has receded to the back burner as an issue. Without having actually tried it, I agree, a Sim chip that has gone thru an acid bath in the stomach and has been dipped in blood and wiped off with a rag is not likely to function. I liked this hour, that Russian deserved to be gutted. I'm hoping that since "24" has no compunction with killing off main characters, and since it is scheduled to end as a TV series, that Logan can also fall victim to Jack's rage.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Noon - 1:00 pm" FWIW, I thought the director went out of his way to avoid showing the really disgusting part of torture. It would have been easy to make the torture so disgusting that we couldn't watch. Ask Salvador Dali for a suggestion about a real form of torture that would be intolerable on TV. But instead, we barely saw any torture, Jack gave up on his talking and moved straight to gutting him for the SIM chip way too fast for good torture.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 10083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-18-10, 11:29 AM (EST) 82. "RE: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm" Ever since season 4, the time frame has been ridiculous. Last year, we saw people go from one place in DC to places an hour away in five-ten minutes. This year, travel time in NYC has become nonexistent. In the course of today's episode, Jack's buddy left the gutting, went home, found Logan, and told Jack. Then Jack stole a car, went to Logan's motorcade, ambushed it, kidnapped Logan, escaped from the tunnels, went to the Russian's office, attacked it, killed all the Russians there, and then picked up a feed from the hidden microphone he placed on Logan (similar to season 5) -- all in the course of one hour? Not a chance. But so what? Even if the show has thrown off the "real time" concept, it's still a powerful ending. Jack's body count is approaching Bruce Lee levels, and he still has the president of Russia in his sights.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

But, what are you going to do. It wouldn't be very entertaining if this was actually in real time because we'd just end up watching a lot of driving around. After all, we want action and things to happen and move the story along. This all is coming to a very entertaining, though very bloody, climax. I can't believe Jack himself is going to survive this all. I always thought he'd bite the big one at the end of the show, but does he have to stay alive for a movie in the future (or is it set somewhere in the past between other season?). I will be glad when it's all over, but with the power of this ending I may still miss it a bit. It's been a mostly energizing ride over the years. 2002 IceCat Originals, Inc.

The "national security" arrest of Meredith Reed is by itself grounds for President Taylor's impeachment. Since we don't have long enough to impeach her.... ...what will happen? It looks likes Logan is preparing to throw her under the bus for her decisions based on his advice, and I wouldn't be surprised if that happens at the end ... or if she resigns before he can. She should have listened to Ethan.

I thought we were having a second-season flashback when President Taylor bullied Dalia Hassan by threatening to start a war against the IRK based on incomplete evidence of which she was suppressing the complete evidence. And I agree with the viewpoint of, I think, ET that the episodes last night represented Cherry Jones' submission to the Emmys for Best Supporting Actress.
