Jack is Back- Discussion and spoilers about Season 5 of 24

[John la Rock]

I have only seen all of 1 and half of 2. So far 1 blows 2 away. Although i havn't seen the second half of 2 so I don't know for sure.

When they originally aired, I thought 1 was a LOT better than 2. However, now that I've gone back and watched both several times, I think 2 is far superior. Season 1 just doesn't keep up the same pace and intensity as the following seasons. Also, in season 2, Jack really has a reason to be a little crazy and reckless (because of what happens at the end of season 1).

[DaveWadding]

YES :love:

[Dragon]

Good episode, next week looks pretty great as well. Didn't realize there are only 4 episodes left though.

[John la Rock]

great episode tonight. What the hell is going on with Bierko though? Is he still alive?

[Lock Jaw]

He just doesn't matter anymore.

Jack Bauer makes hijacking airplanes fun!

[McDoogle]

Vic Mackey would still rip Jack apart.

[Buzzkill]

lol @ chloe zapping the guy and jack putting the air mashall to sleep

[AlphaBean]

great episode tonight. What the hell is going on with Bierko though? Is he still alive?

Julian Sands is a D-level movie star. He probably costs too much money to pay for unimportant appearances, so they are going to probably bring him back soon for some piece of integral information, something about Henderson or whatever.

Anyway, my brother asked why I like the show. When it comes to movies, I generally hate gratuitous violence and overblown situations. I said this: "Well, Jack needed a tape recorder... so he HIGHJACKED A PLANE! Then, the president wants the tape recorder back, so to get it he's going to SHOOT THE PLANE DOWN. That's just in one episode." Then I explained how everyone is working behind everyone else's back, and that there's a double agent in every department in the government. And the fact that Jack is incapable of human emotion, and YELLS ALL THE TIME ABOUT EVERYTHING. You don't get time to think about the implausibility. So its' fun.

But what pisses me off is that between 24 and Prison Break, you don't get any bathroom breaks. They have a full break before the previews for prison break, then 24 starts... so if I tried taking a dump after prison break, I'd have missed the previews. :rant:

From: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news06/060505r.php

Kiefer Sutherland has revealed to UK press outlet The Sun that he will film the movie version of US series drama "24" in London.

Sutherland says "The shoot will take place in London and Prague. Then we will use Morocco as a location - probably as an aspect of the Middle East. We'll do the filming a year from now."

Its expected the shoot will get underway March/April next year during the show's hiatus. This would put the film on course for a release either late 2007 or Summer 2008 - during or after the show's seventh season.

[John la Rock]

FInally Bierko returned... kind of lol

[MVP]

I hope Jack beats the shit out of that Miles douchebag. He's been due for one all season.

[Innovator]

Chloe needs to unload some whoop ass on Miles, then Jack, then Audrey, then Bill, then the homeland girl

[Boondock Saint]

Why the hell didn't they just make copies of the recording? Or why didn't Jack play it over the phone to CTU earlier?

[Boondock Saint]

You'd think a piece of evidence of this importance would be guarded with the orders that only Karen or Jack are allowed into the room with Chloe. :roll:

[Boondock Saint]

But next week, Agent Pierce!

[RoXer]

I always thought the recording would be a fake or something.

[AlphaBean]

Anyone else get the feeling that maybe Bierko is going to end up turning on Logan?

First off, why the fuck would you spend half of your troops transferring a terrorist while you're having so much fun fighting other bad guys?

Second off, without the recording, it's going to be what's left of CTU vs America. So in comes deus ex machina, the terrorist who worked for Logan will now somehow be his downfall. I HOPE.

He's a loose end!

And Miles is hilarious. Such a weasel, cast perfectly.

[McLegend]

Can't wait til next week

[AlphaBean]

I'm starting to develop a crush on Chloe. :$

But LOL at the outcome. It's probably going to be some huge and explosive affair, and I BET that somehow Bierko takes down the president. If he doesn't, his actions have in fact led to this. And that, my friends, is me being right. If even a little. :cool:

[John la Rock]

Ok i just finished watching season 4 and it was amazing. I'd say the best seasons in order were 1-2-5-3-4
Who is your favourite 24 villain? Mine is Steven Saunders from season 3

[Loose Cannon]

Awesome season I must say. Kind of dissapointed Jack didn't blow the prez's head off.

But them Nese came back and they have fucked up by not killing the man.

[McLegend]

That was pretty hot. Sucks that we have to wait til January though.

[Splaya]

Anyone thinking they will brainwash him and turn him into a terrorist

[Bazooka]

great season, prob more than I enjoyed the previous ones but then again, this is the only season where I saw every single episode.

also, the president would rather die than go to prison, so it was smart of Bauer not to blow his head off.

So, the finale was awesome for the first 20 mins, then it got slow and predictable (the micro recording, and asians taking him back) but perhaps predictable cause they were the best moves to use. The finale was all right in total but I've seen better. Next year should be interesting, hopefully ideas are fresh.

[DaveWadding]

FUCKING GOOKS!

Totally awesome though :'(

[Innovator]

I'm gonna beat the fuck out of the first chinese person I see

[Buzzkill]

SICK ending I thought.

By the way, either they messed up the real time or Logan has NO endurance.

[Joey Slugs]

best season finale of all time. i seriously though it was henderson standing in the shadows (he was shot... but no one is really dead until in the ground).

[RoXer]

FUCK. I'm finally able to watch the whole season and I miss the finale :mad:


Someone fill me in.

[Joey Slugs]

Highlight (recap of the finale):

Jack and Henderson secure the sub and stop the missles. Jack kills Henderson. Jack goes after the president with help from Mike Novak, Agent Pierce, and the First Lady. Jack kidnaps Logan on his military chopper and hopes to get a confession from him. Jack tells him "If you think for one second that I would hesitate to put a bullet in your head then you don't know me!" Turns out that Jack couldn't do it and the Secret Service show up to save Logan and arrest Jack.

Logan goes to give a speach at the airport next to Pamler's casket and his wife flips out. Logan slaps his wife around a bit and unwillingly confesses while Chloe, the attorney general, and Karen/Bill at CTU (via a mic that Jack planted on Logan). US Marshalls and SS Agents take Logan into custody while his wife and Mike look on.

Jack is released and Audrey shows up to share a tender moment. Jack is told that a call from his daughter is coming through and he can answer it on a landline in the wharehouse (where he had Logan). Jack picks up the phone and gets attacked by 3 masked men. He is subdued and dragged off. Audrey finds out that Jack is missing and gets word out to the agents.

Jack is shown being dragged (beaten and bloody) into a giant dark room. Out of the shadows comes Cheng Zhi (from last season) and tells Jack that China wasn't just going to forget what happened. Jack tells him " I know how this works. Please just let me make one phone call ... please...... "Just kill me. Kill me." Zhi tells him that he worth alot more alive.

The camera pans out of the room to reveal that it wasn't a wharehouse at all, but a giant tanker already on it's way back to China.

[RoXer]

Sick

[Joey Slugs]

very

[John la Rock]

very good season finale. Loved it when Jack killed Henderson. marked out huge at the end with the Chinese.

i'm out. bring on season 6

[Innovator]

I was preparing myself for Jack to die, the minute the Asian guy told Jack he had a call from Kim, I knew something was up. I was gonna cry like a little girl if he died.

[Boondock Saint]

Good stuff. Good stuff.

[AlphaBean]

OMG NINJAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question: Did Jack kill that kid who helped them retake the sub? He stalked towards him right before commercial break. He saw Jack/Henderson, so he was a witness I guess so he had to go, right? :(

[Boondock Saint]

I highly doubt it.

[loopydate]

What happened to the woman and her son from the beginning of the season? I mean, why would you wind up with Audrey, when you could go home to Connie Britton? Eh? Am I right?

[AlphaBean]

It was 24 hours... by the end of the day they are all delirious, tired, probably need to take a shit, brush their teeth and eat something... it's the same reason when the ordeal was over, a chinese guy says "we have a call on a land line for you in an abandoned building. It's from the daughter who hates you. She wants to talk to you all of a sudden. Mind you, I am asian and you're wanted by the chinese. Don't be at all suspicious, dude," and Jack was like "oh okay, cool!!!" and the president, lol, thought to put his pen back in his pocket. :lol:

[The Outlaw]

They went back to Mexico.

Great season. Great finale.

[Buzzkill]

Do you guys think that Jack helped Hendersen fake his death? They talked about it earlier that episode, that faking his death would be the only way for Hendersen to escape. That's why the witness was pointed out to the audience

[McDoogle]

So it's Jack vs. China. Sweet.

[AlphaBean]

Do you guys think that Jack helped Hendersen fake his death? They talked about it earlier that episode, that faking his death would be the only way for Hendersen to escape. That's why the witness was pointed out to the audience

That's what I thought, too.

I wonder though... Jack said the death was confirmed. That doesn't disprove that it was a setup, it just makes me wonder. Which is good. Imagine... Henderson ends up being some sort of crazy good guy, like Venom to Jack's Spiderman.

Who will go into China to help save Jack though? Will it be Curtis? With Chloe back at the command station on their little submarine or whatever? They can turn it into the bloodiest RAMBOesque 24 evar!!!!

[AlphaBean]

I bet he organizes some sort of coup and frees all the POWs and stuff. Again, like Rambo. And he'll have a whole new team of ops. And he'll find some other former CTU people he thought were dead, and they will help him. OMGZ.
