24

[{I}{K}{E}]

I hope they set up a cracking season finale. There's something a bit limb about what's going on about at the moment, a lack of urgency almost. Bierko's missle seems to be not that important in comparison to attacks on previous seasons...

I agree. Season 5 isnt as good as the old seasons

WTF did they do with this season? There is 2 hours left.

They basically took a subplot - President Logan's treasonous actions, and made it into the main plot of the show. Where as in the past seasons, this type of subplot would only be used as a hinderance to CTU stopping the terrorists.

Imagine if President Palmer's son murder subplot of season 1, was the main plot of that season. Luckily it wasn't. I'm afraid to say that 24 jumped the shark this season.

I agree with your assessement (though maybe not your spelling of "limp"). The first twelve hours were mundane, the next six were good and now it is limping to a finish. I guess that is the risk you run with longer TV seasons, too much filler and not enough killer.

Though it would be silly to consider reducing a show like 24 due to its gimmick. Or would it? Fuck going to China, get rid of the gimmick. No more real time but still have a continuous story-arc within a small period of time. (Just a thought that will never happen, they wouldn't want to upset a tried and tested yet now boring formula...)

I'm not sure if it counts as "jumping the shark" but the moment I realised the show wasn't as good as I thought it was was when Teri caught amnesia in episode 16 or 17 of series 1. I actually laughed out loud at that stage and everything else has been downhill since.

They have so far.

I almost had a heart attack on multiple occasions this season.

I think there needs to be a season in another country. China that is.

Yes, I know what you mean : I almost collapsed in the first chapters !

I think what is striking with that show is the facility the scenarists have to kill beloved characters : I miss so much Tony and Michelle

China is good idea but I think Iran is definitely a place where Jack should go lol ! He'll do China after, first the hottest spots !

Oh fuck! I just finished watching 24 and someone at Fox thinks like I do.

Spoiler: Show

24 in China! Count it!

I remember saying (can't remember where exactly) that since Jack resurfaced, Chinamen will get a hold of him and take him to China. 24 in another country as a good change up. It will be about his escape.

It looks they want to use him as bargaining tool.

China directly relates to a current storyline and it offers a change up after 5 seasons.

Good move. I still can't believe it.
