I gave up on this season after about the third episode...
So I'm wondering what the general consesus is.. has 24 jumped the shark?

24 is still awesome. They still use the same tricks over and over, so I may get bored soon, but right now I still love it. Only show I watch consistently every week.
-
yeah, love this season. . .
-
maybe I should make a move back to it. Isn't there only one episode left though?
-
i would never miss an episode of 24 but this season hasn't been my favorite. i like it for pure escapism, with jack bauer out there catching and killing those naughty terrorists. this year the main villain is the purely evil president of the US. not as much escapism, y'know?
-
I've been bored this season right after the dismantle of the...well, I won't spoil it, but you know.
-
To be honest, I've been fairly bummed by this season. Beyond a few over-the-top moments (especially the first hour, and those three weeks where they started cleaning house with Edgar & Tony), I've found myself slightly bored.
Still, I doubt I'll ever stop watching it while it's still on the air. It's always solid enough to keep me entertained even if there are a few missteps along the way.

Has anyone seen the Showtime series "Sleeper Cell"? I netflixed it recentley and thought it was entertaining.
Kind of like 24, except the main hero is undercover in a terrorist cell.
-
two hours left...tick tock tick tock..
-
24 = KICKASS!
-
In fact my new favorite quote is from this season. "Let's get one thing straight, the only reason you are still conscious is because I don't want to carry you."

Did anyone notice when he was on top of the van at the airport that he really needs an earbud for his phone?
By the end of this series, I really just wanna see him chow down on a Power Bar. Really, when does he eat?
-
Gotta love Chloe!
-
Was anybody else disappointed they killed off Ana-Lucia?
-
Wow that blog4bauer just became my new favorite website.
-
Story-wise, I was more bummed that they killed Libby. Think of the great tension they could've played with, as Michael is thinking of ways to off the one person who knows what he did?
Still, I had really grown to like Ana-Lucia. I cannot wait for that finale.

Off topic, but didn't those two on LOST get killed because they got arrested for DUI's?
Or was that planned before their run in with Hawaii 5-0
-
I've kind of felt that 24 has had its ups and down this season.
As for Lost, I would've liked to have seen where they would have went with Libby's mental history. That could've been fun.
-
No, if producers really cared about what kind of trouble the actors were in off-screen, half of Hollywood would be fired.
Look at Robert Downey Jr.

She stepped up and did quite the acting when she was dying...man, that was rough.
*spoiler warning & hearsay* I think there is more to come w/ Libby's history - when someone was asked about not being to find out about her mental history and relation to Hurley, the answer was: Desmond comes back and Libby is related to his story...
-
So funny you ask...I missed a couple episodes in January, I think, and I just couldn't get back to it. So I'm not watching it at all -- I'll catch it on DVD (I'm also not reading about it, as I'm pretty sure I'll see it in a few months when the DVDs come out).
-
I still think its a great show to watch. Come on now, would you rather want to watch Idol?
-
i love it.
with respect to the question of when JB eats, you'll recall that jack's lady friend with whom he was shacking at the beginning of the season fed him a hearty breakfast. good thing, no time for drive thrus when you're saving the entire fucking country. during breakfast her punkass son was frontin' and talkin' shit to jack whilst eating. jack must have been thinking to himself that he could terminate the kid's life in under 2 seconds.

I think this is the best season of 24 yet. They hired some new writers last summer (David Fury, for one), and I think the writing has been vastly improved as a result. There were certainly a couple of seasons there (3 and 4, to be explicity) during which I wondered why I was still watching this show, but I'm glad I stuck with it. This season has been really tight.

The supporting actors have been much better, if not the best of all seasons. Well, except the President (where'd they find that yuk?)
Speaking of Chloe - anyone see her on Gilmore Girls?
-
just like most of this season, last night was horribly predictable, even down to the grab by the chinese
definitely my least favorite season so far
-
Wow, if anything that episode made up for the rest of the season. That was exactly how I thought last year should've ended. I'd say that was easily the best finale they've had since season one.
-
come on. . last night had the best novick face ever!! in fact, he even added a smirk/smile to it when logan turned around when he was being led off stage.
i would like to know what happened to wayne though.

When was Aaron Pierce introduced. I was thinking it was in season 2, but Wikipedia seem to suggest one.

i was disappointed that there was no mandy this season, what with her lesbian wiles and all that.

i kept waiting for her to pop up (and out, and through her shirt), but to no avail. that was disappointing, for sure. instead we got chloe's ricky gervais wannabe ex-husband. that sure was random.

i think season one was when he was still moonlighting as the Las Vegas Sheriff, before George Mason took over as sheriff.

Who is Mandy?
-
mandy was the female terrorist in seasons 1, 2 and 4. in season 1 she blew up the plane, season 2 tried to kill david palmer in the final episode and season 4 was working with habib marwan and sported one of the finest outfits in 24 history. . .unfortunately, i cannot find a picture of it. curses!

Ooohhhh...Mia?
:p )
Yeah, they should put Mia on the OC!
