24 - Day 6

[tokenuser]

Tonights the night ... 2 hour season premiere, follwed by another 2 hours tomorrow night.

Two big questions .. how has Jack survived on Ramen noodles and electric shock theray at the hands of the chinese government, and for the second ... see my sig.

[briangilmore]

*Dustclouds*

[clark05]

He's Jack Bower.. He's like Macgyver x 10, and Chloe is probably still sulking over her lost friends. Can't wait till tonight! 24 in HD! *splurge*

[lupin]

Who cares I saw it a week ago

[r3v]

Who cares I saw it a week agoWhat's that got to do with anything?


Anyways, I just watched the first 2 hours. Fairly decent so far.

[massif]

Jack Bauer totally went Lost Boys on that terrorist!

[kwok_talk]

Jack probably survived by feasting on blood and neck parts of chinese guards, like how he killed off that one guard.

Has the guy Jack saved from the air strike been on any other TV shows? He looked kind of familiar.

[tokenuser]

Has the guy Jack saved from the air strike been on any other TV shows? He looked kind of familiar.Yep. He was Dr Julian Bashir on Star Trek: Deep Space 9.

His name is Alexander Siddig, his friends called him Sid. He was also in "Reign of Fire" (the dragon movie set in the near future), and played an Arab prince in "Syriana" with George Clooney and Matt Damon, and was in "Kingdom of Heaven" with Liam Neeson and Orlando Bloom. Sid gets around.

I love his character in 24. Looks like he is a ruthless asshole in this one - complete opposite of his DS9 character. I like to see Sid vicious :) (terrible pun ... but I had to do it).

Oh yeah - and as for "What Would Chloe Do?", after last nights performance, I think it is realign the satelite and pout in a corner for awhile, scowling at whoever crosses her path. She kicked ass in the last series. I hope she gets out of the office in this series as well.

Thanks! I thought he was the doc in DS9, but I wasn't watching the show with anyone who would have know Trek stuff. I do like his character. The knife in the knee was brutal!

[orlov]

Yeah I watched the first four eps over a week ago. I am a huge fan of 24, but I dont like it so far.

[muled]

Kaboom!!!!

[lurkervan]

Jack Bauer totally went Lost Boys on that terrorist!

That's the same thing my friends said when that happened.

Does anyone else get a kick that Jack only uses two tones of voice, yelling or whispering?

[kevmann16]

Just got back to the UK from snowboarding in Whistler and this was advertised like crazy while I was they, so I give up and finally watched 24 I got the first 4 hours yesterday and watched them back to back its was amazing, going to start buying the DVD's of the previous seasons once this one is finished. Thought I'd check out what you guys thought on the forums of this season.

Looking forward to Heroes return next week just heard its been picked up for a full 2nd season.

Anyway got to go its 3.50am here I cant get over the jet-lag so looks like a 2nd sleepless night but I'm going watch episodes 3 and hopefully 4 of Geekscape until I can get to sleep.

[fred]

Jack Bauer totally went Lost Boys on that terrorist!
I had that immediate reaction

[conorkilpatrick]

(I'm moving the 24 talk from iFanboy.com (http://www.ifanboy.com/archive/weblog/24_season_six_d.html) to here. The Heroes talk will stay there.)

Because YOU demanded it.

http://www.ifanboy.com/images/jack.jpg
"I'm back."

After watching the first two hours, Ron is convinced that Jack Bauer is now Batman (with guns and no aversion to killing), so I guess that makes this somewhat comics related.

24 is Ron and I's favorite show on TV. By far. Guess who is gonna suffer because of this? The other big show on at 9pm on Mondays - Heroes. Thanks to our DVRs we'll still watch Heroes, of course, just not live(ish).

This thread will serve to host discussion on 24 throughout the course of the entire season.

[tokenuser]

No sense in duplicating threads in forums.
iFanboys meet formers Dromers. Former Dromers, meet iFanboy. Play nice :)

Lets keep this discussion going -

Based on The 24 Drinking Game (http://www.ringthis.com/tv_drinking_games/24.php), how are we so far? 4 hours into the day and only 1/4 of the bottle of Jack drunk so far?? We can do better than that.

I think the drinking game rules need modifying - suggest replacing the "Kim" references with "Chloe" references. With Wayne Palmer now being POTUS, the Palmer references are good again.

24 still leads the genre, but I really think Sleeper Cell (http://www.sho.com/site/sleepercell/characters.do) captured the terrorism angle better. Jack might be the guy you want tracking down the bad guys, but if you had to have someone on the inside Darwyn was definately the man.

[bentcorner]

Did anyone else think that when Kumar pulled the bag out of the wall, it was going to contain a bunch of White Castle sliders? :D

[tokenuser]

Did anyone else think that when Kumar pulled the bag out of the wall, it was going to contain a bunch of White Castle sliders? :D Nope - 24 is set in LA. Closest to a White Castle slider you'll find will be in the freezer section at Ralph's :)

[satori]

Will Kiefer's new action figure make an appearance?
http://www.ecanadanow.com/images/24-Action-Figures-jack.jpg

[kevmann16]

Although I'm enjoying my first season of 24 I hope Heroes competes ratings wise I love heroes I know its had season 2 order but American Tv seems so rating dependent I'm worrying for its future.

[fred]

The whole ratings system is broken and it needs to be fixed. For instance there are many people who are fans of both 24 and Heroes. Many of these people have DVR or Tivo or something like that. Not many people are going to stop watching Heroes altogether because of 24.

[conorkilpatrick]

I'm so excited, I might burst!


Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[lurkervan]

I'm so excited, I might burst!


Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Damn! Now I'm going to burst with excitement. I was doing very well with containing it too. Thanks, thanks a lot.

[fred]

I've been trying to find places online to download episode 5 all week and haven't found it yet. now the times arrives

[derek]

I've been trying to find places online to download episode 5 all week and haven't found it yet. now the times arrives

Hey Fred when you download do you watch it on your computer or do you shift it to your TV/home theater? I only ask because to me it isn't even worth it to see it a couple days early if I have to watch it on my computer. I'd much rather wait and watch it on the big screen with surround sound. Of course if I had an easy way to stream to my TV with high quality (i.e. appletv or something similar) I would go your route.

[conorkilpatrick]

It's time!

[conorkilpatrick]

I think DB Woodside went to the Alec Baldwin School of Whisper Acting.

[conorkilpatrick]

Half the fun of 24 is watching them try to shoot around Kiefer's emerging bald spot.

[conorkilpatrick]

I smells U.S. government complicity in these nuclear attacks. Even if it's just a few rogue generals looking for an excuse to turn the Middle East to glass. Yes, we had that storyline before, but those generals were way too eager and ready to attack the entirety of the Middle East during that briefing ten minutes ago.

[conorkilpatrick]

Papa Bauer!

[conorkilpatrick]

"You have to let me know what's going on out there."

Smooth, Whalid, smooth.

This detention center looks kinda like a city park.

[conorkilpatrick]

OHMYGOD!!!

THAT is Jack's brother!?!?!?!?!

I literally just jumped up off the couch and shouted.

[conorkilpatrick]

Rena Sofer... on 24... and Heroes... at the same time... does not compute.

And of course she loves Jack.

Of course.

(Hell, I love Jack.)

[conorkilpatrick]

I don't think I can handle evil Dr. Larry Fleinhardt. It is throwing off my TV equilibrium.

[conorkilpatrick]

Whalid is not making it out of that city park detention center alive.

[conorkilpatrick]

Clearly the Bauer family has some issues that they need to explore.

[conorkilpatrick]

That was one terrible address to the nation.

[acomicbookgirl]

That was one terrible address to the nation.


Find Sam Seaborn.. I like that one... ;) Is it too late to start 24?

[conorkilpatrick]

Okay, so the tension was ratcheted way down in this episode, but it was balanced out by the FANTASTIC Bauer family reveal.

[fred]

home theater
I have a special dvd player that has built in divx encoding so that I can play avi files on my sweet tv

[fred]

OHMYGOD!!!

THAT is Jack's brother!?!?!?!?!

I literally just jumped up off the couch and shouted.

I yelled 'holy ****' over and over

I think the only thing that kept me from running around the neighborhood with no pants on was the fact that I'm not tripping

long story

[fred]

ok so jack's nephew is his son right?

did you see the way he looked at him

and the wife at jack

and romano at the wife and then jack

[fred]

So upon further review
Jack can't have a younger brother, clearly excreting the fluid that created Jack would kill you

i call bullshit

[fred]

it's never too late to start 24. It's like the greatest show ever. You should try to rent the dvd of the four hour premier and watch tonight at least

[fred]

forgot to mention this before but it was really funny

so they did the Jack's brother reveal and my wife and I both said within 2 seconds of each other: what is this supossed to be Twins or something?

[lurkervan]

Wow. I don't even know what to say about Jack's brother.

On a sidenote, for some reason I was amused/liked that you posted while watching the show except for the fact that I live on the West Coast so need to stay away.

[conorkilpatrick]

On a sidenote, for some reason I was amused/liked that you posted while watching the show except for the fact that I live on the West Coast so need to stay away.

Sorry about that.

I encourage everyone to post while watching the show!

Does anyone think that Jack's brother was meant to be Jack's brother last season? I say no.

[fred]

Does anyone think that Jack's brother was meant to be Jack's brother last season? I say no.

No i don't but at the same time I'm not going to let it stop my enjoyment. I also think that this Jack's father thing and also the Wayne Palmer's sister things were pseudo deus-ex-machina.

While were on the subject of things I'm ignoring, James Cromwell is really great and I like him. He is not Jack Bauer's dad. Jack Bauer is like McGyver, Chuck Norris, and Superman rolled into one. The dude from Babe is not his dad

[conorkilpatrick]

No i don't but at the same time I'm not going to let it stop my enjoyment.

Oh, I dont't mind it at all, it's a fantastic twist.

I also think that this Jack's father thing and also the Wayne Palmer's sister things were pseudo deus-ex-machina.

This year, 24 seems to be all about family ties, both good and bad.

[fred]

almost harkening back to the David-Sherry issues of the first few

[kwok_talk]

This year, 24 seems to be all about family ties, both good and bad.

I hope it doesn't get as "bad" as having Kim Bauer come back again. I swear, they better start laying out moutain cougar traps so she doesn't show up again.

[conorkilpatrick]

I hope it doesn't get as "bad" as having Kim Bauer come back again. I swear, they better start laying out moutain cougar traps so she doesn't show up again.

I couldn't disagree more! I love her. I was disappointed that she only showed up for an extended cameo last season.

[fred]

I couldn't disagree more! I love her. I was disappointed that she only showed up for an extended cameo last season.

if they do bring her back she needs to be over 'the trauma' so that they can make her not look like shit again

[kwok_talk]

I couldn't disagree more! I love her. I was disappointed that she only showed up for an extended cameo last season.

Ha. I think I disliked her character so much b/c she was a prime example of how during Season 1 and 2, the main female characters on that show were either entirely evil (Sherri, Nina) or made incredibly poor decisions (KIM!!!). Nice to look at, but I recall just rolling my eyes at some of her dumb decisions. Maybe I just became extra bitter b/c all of those other female characters, who I found more interesting, have since been killed off.

Those are all very valid points. But she was also involved in one of the best 24 scenes ever:

"Shoot him again, Kim."

[lurkervan]

Sorry about that.

I encourage everyone to post while watching the show!

Does anyone think that Jack's brother was meant to be Jack's brother last season? I say no.

No need to be sorry. Continue posting while watching the show. I like seeing people's initial reaction towards things.

No over here too but it sure is convenient and surprise to have him as Jack's brother.

[conorkilpatrick]

Woo-hoo! Almost time again!

[fred]

Woo-hoo! Almost time again!
I know that I can't wait

[kwok_talk]

James Cromwell will show up to torture Jack. Jack will see a beheaded pig in the corner of the room. Sigh....still another half hour to go.

[fred]

it's actually a live pig whose life was saved by a literate spider

[kwok_talk]

it's actually a live pig whose life was saved by a literate spider

but sadly the spider didn't make it and dies, leaving only the phrase "jack bauer will come for you" in webbing.

[fred]

but sadly the spider didn't make it and dies, leaving only the phrase "jack bauer will come for you" in webbing.

and I don't know about you but that would definitely make chuck norris cry

[kwok_talk]

and I don't know about you but that would definitely make chuck norris cry

and then Jack Bauer would catch those tears in a jar and throw it into a building and explode a terrorist base.

i saw that show
it was called mcgyver

[conorkilpatrick]

I'm not starting this show right away, I am accruing some DVR pad.

Evil Chad Lowe!

Presidents on 24 seem to have shady chief of staffs every year... how the hell does that happen? Aren't they supposed to be the President's most trusted adviser?

Back to 24, apparently not-having balls runs in the Buchannan marriage.

[fred]

Whalid is a terrible undercover agent.

Terrible.

He's like a reverse Bond villain.

hello pedestrian

nudge nudge wink wink

[kwok_talk]

Wow, I miss Tony and Michelle. The CTU scenes just aren't the same since they blew up.

My heart just stopped the first episode of last season when they taken out.

[fred]

that midget ****er

[fred]

i resign to beat your ass

jim lee mother****er

[conorkilpatrick]

Whoa, Whalid is a pickpocket??

He might not be useless after all. At least until he gets shanked in the public park detention center.

[kwok_talk]

Hm.. I feel like these last 2 hours have been a let down since the first 4 hours. Next week looks more action packed.

[conorkilpatrick]

Well no one so that coming.

No, no one at all.

[fred]

how can she let that bastard win?
smug c**ksucker

[conorkilpatrick]

Now, I really like James Cromwell. A lot.

But I feel like there's a real blown opportunity here to not have Donald Sutherland play Jack's father. I wonder if they even considered/tried to get him.

[conorkilpatrick]

Oooh, the dead wife pointed remark. Not a smart move, evil brother.

[fred]

oooh reginald denny

[luthor]

But I feel like there's a real blown opportunity here to not have Donald Sutherland play Jack's father. I wonder if they even considered/tried to get him.

That would've kicked all kinds of ass.

So I guess this episode proves the new 24 rule...if you're under 5'4" and male, you are a dastardly villain.

Just as an aside...this went up on Digg just before the show started...

http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/01/29/24-time-warp/

[conorkilpatrick]

Man, if Jack has to end this season by killing his brother and/or his dad, he's is gonna be really ****ed up. I mean, more ****ed up than norm--

Powers Boothe!!!

[conorkilpatrick]

Just as an aside...this went up on Digg just before the show started...

THought the same thing too. Must be one of those anti-radiation barricades that he was standing in front of.

[fred]

nope I think he was just the weather man

[conorkilpatrick]

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt is a good actor. He is entirely convincing as both a totally sympathetic character (Numb3rs) and a complete scumbag (here).

I am still mystified that the President would have a Chief of Staff he seems to not entirely trust and seemingly, possibly despises. That's supposed to be his most trusted adviser!

[conorkilpatrick]

"Set up the interrogation package."

Noooo!

Will Papa Bauer allow is (admittedly, evil scumbag) son get tortured by his (admittedly, awesome) other son?

Who would you rather be strapped in a chair in a locked room with? Sir Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man or Jack Bauer?

[kwok_talk]

Jack's dad post interrogation: That'll do. That'll do.

[fred]

olivier every day and 2xs on sunday rather than bauer

unless he was signing autographs

Kiefer Sutherland better win a ****ing Emmy for this. Great scene.

[kwok_talk]

"Set up the interrogation package."


Who would you rather be strapped in a chair in a locked room with? Sir Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man or Jack Bauer?

Seeing as I have no idea what Olivier looks like and imagine him be sitting him in a robe and slippers smoking a pipe in front of the fire place, I'll take him.

[fred]

yeah morris is a rock

dumbasses

[schark]

Oddly, Paul McCrane used to work the 70's fro, too, when he was in "Fame". Is that a prerequisite for "24" villain work?

[conorkilpatrick]

Seeing as I have no idea what Olivier looks like and imagine him be sitting him in a robe and slippers smoking a pipe in front of the fire place, I'll take him.

He'd be sitting in that robe and smoking a pipe after he was done pulling your teeth and drilling into your nerves.

Man, I just shuddered while typing that.

[conorkilpatrick]

Oh, snap!!!

Evil Brother just admitted to EVERYTHING!

[fred]

what a loser
he cracked like Whitney Houston

early and often

[conorkilpatrick]

That was a fantastic scene.

[fred]

so does he automatically lose his Christmas dinner invite?

[kwok_talk]

Jack: Send my brother back to CTU...so i can shack up with his wife and find out that annoying kid is mine.

[fred]

That was a fantastic scene.

I think it's his and papa bauer's sbx or whatever it was

Cromwell is acquitting himself well, but this would be 10,000x better if it were Donald Sutherland playing Papa Bauer.

I ran out of DVR pad, by the way.

Arm. One of the best "oh, ****" moments in ER history. Ron has an interesting anecdote about that.

it's really good. I think I'm actually about to watch it again. normally I at least wait until tuesday

[six-gun]

Anybody noticed that they've wussed Jack up a bit?

[fred]

heretic
jack is the man

[conorkilpatrick]

All this killing and death (and whatever the Chinese did to him) are taking its toll.

I love it. It's great character progression.

[fred]

There's definitely a toll for that and it shows. But he is in no way a wuss

[conorkilpatrick]

I've got 24 news! Well, 24-related news!

I won't be doing a 24 diary this week (And possibly the next three weeks). Shocking, yes. Sad, I know. Crying, I'm sure you are.

Basically, what it boils down to is this - prior to 24 being back, iFanboy used to have a weekly Monday night ritual - dinner and Heroes and Studio 60. And then 24 came back and Ron and I defected to watch 24.

But now with - purportedly - only one month left in the life of Studio 60, we are being enticed back to the Flanagan abode. Also, we are being promised homemade cookies.

So, I leave the live blogging to you fine folks. I look forward to reading them.

[fred]

I'll still be doing it. Won't be the same without you though.

As for Heroes, two weeks ago I decided to not watch Heroes on Monday anymore because it can't follow 24 very well. I just finished watching Monday's episode earlier and I enjoyed it again. So it worked

Studio 60 is not coming back next season?! :( I'm heartbroken...

[paper]

Used to be a big advocate for it, but Studio 60 needs to shuffle on out. Brad Whitford should not have to play a stalker. Not that anything can taint the memory of Josh Lyman, but still...

Is it too late to crack open the copy of 24 season 1 my friend lent me? Better start catching up.

It's never too late to start watching 24.

I'm going to miss Studio 60. Even if they did make Josh Lyman a stalker

[conorkilpatrick]

Studio 60 is not coming back next season?! :( I'm heartbroken...

It's being put on hiatus with no set return date. 9 times out of 10 that means the show is toast.

To be honest, I'd be more upset if 30 Rock went away. That show has grown very quickly into a half an hour of inspired lunacy.

NBC TO BENCH STUDIO 60, 30 ROCK
NBC plans to pull its critically praised but ratings-challenged comedies Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and 30 Rock from its schedule next month, replacing them with two new series. The Black Donnellys is set to debut on Monday, March 5 at 10:00 p.m., following the network's hit drama Heroes, while Andy Barker, P.I., starring Andy Richter takes over the 9:30 pm. time slot on Thursdays beginning March 15. The network promised that Studio 60 will returned "later this season on a date to be determined." 30 Rock is scheduled to return on April 19.

my god, will they stop giving andy richter shows? Is this 13 or 14 flops now?

Andy Richter Controls the Universe was fantastic.

[fred]

I'm sure that you and the other 4 people that watched it loved it

[conorkilpatrick]

I'm sure that you and the other 4 people that watched it loved it

Me and Ron and Meridith Johnson from Topeka, KS and James Reynolds from Austin, TX and Harold Brennert from Seattle, WA. We have a newsletter.

[fred]

and a usenet group

really glad to hear it

[fred]

is it true that andy richter called each of you individually to apologize when it got cancelled?

that was big of him

[conorkilpatrick]

is it true that andy richter called each of you individually to apologize when it got cancelled?

that was big of him

And he sent us $50.

I got a t-shirt from Paget Brewster.

[fred]

much better than my punky brewster t-shirt


and it deteriorates....

[kwok_talk]

Andy Richter Controls the Universe was fantastic.

I remember doing a double take when he showed up in Talledega Nights.

*Thinking hard* He used to be someone famous right?

[kwok_talk]

Studio 60 is not coming back next season?! :( I'm heartbroken...

Dang. I just started watching the series 2 weeks ago. It was pretty good, but I think I liked 30 Rock better if I had to pick a SNL-ish show.

[fred]

I've built enough pad - I'm starting now

[fred]

daddy killed him

[fred]

don't tell her he's an evil **** either

[fred]

why does chloe always look like she's sucking a lemon?

[fred]

of course there's a chopper there already

[fred]

don't these people know they have sat surveillance?

[fred]

yes that's right lady - your husband is a an asshole

[fred]

Does $7 Million not seem like enough money to kill hundreds of thousands of people for?

[kwok_talk]

Sorry a little late starting tonight. Fred, coming in and reading the threads, it's like an old man rambling to himself.

[fred]

I know, I was about to give in

[fred]

I'm going to break for a few and then come back

[kwok_talk]

Does $7 Million not seem like enough money to kill hundreds of thousands of people for?

That did seem really low. Mass destruction and death is worth at LEAST 1 billion.

[fred]

This is like being super bin laden

I'm not doing that shit for $7M

[fred]

yes I just went on a watch list

[kwok_talk]

why does chloe always look like she's sucking a lemon?

Is she still dating Rush Limbaugh? Weirdest couple ever.

[kwok_talk]

I never want to be tortured. Ever.

Fred, I hope the government doesn't do that to you now that you're on the watch list.

[fred]

my torture is contained within the pages of Wolverine Origins

[fred]

shoot that prissy ****er

[fred]

Is she still dating Rush Limbaugh? Weirdest couple ever.

she does it for the pills

[fred]

fayed's just going to give her $7M
he doesn't even know her

[kwok_talk]

Wow. Jack with shotgun. Sweet

[fred]

ha ha
impotent little bastard

[fred]

It should read:

I quit because I'm a nazi and a whiny anus
waaaaaaaaa

[fred]

who's the new guy?

[fred]

tell him his dad was an ass

[fred]

I'm sorry honey

daddy was a jerkoff and now he's dead

moral of the story don't be a jerkoff

[kwok_talk]

Man. That bomb scene reminds me of Trauma Center for the DS. I'd have more of a chance surviving Fayed's torture than beating that game.

[fred]

And what is a trunk line anyway?

Guess where I'm calling uyou from?

my sports illustrated suitcase phone

[fred]

most people would kill to get on national tv

[fred]

damn morris is way more cool than I thought he was

[fred]

so then morris is screwed

oh i'm better than that
normally

[kwok_talk]

damn morris is way more cool than I thought he was

but jack was like, you caved in? wuss.

[fred]

i told you
dumbass got dead

[fred]

but jack was like, you caved in? wuss.

i'm behind
I'm at 45 minutes

[fred]

they can't kill the prez 2 seasons in a row

[fred]

I'm not the most evil guy in the room?

what the

[kwok_talk]

i'm behind
I'm at 45 minutes

oh ok. i just started the 2nd hour. i wont ruin that jack kills fayed for you. and that morris is ronin.

[fred]

no way

danny bonaduce is ronin

[fred]

fayed is a ninja

[iSteve]

Jack Bauer is Ronin!

[fred]

just make sentry throw the bomb into space

[fred]

danny bonaduce

[fred]

chloe's top's off? wha?

[fred]

flip the jumpers
make the nuke the master

[kwok_talk]

no. the sentry would just sit and ponder it in a mopey way too long. then it would just blow up in his face.

[fred]

make the void eat it then

[fred]

nevermind morris sucks again

[iSteve]

The VP is a ****** ************. Truly, one evil dude. A rule of 24 is that if the President is a good guy, then the VP can't be.

[fred]

i'm finally into hour 2
yaay

[kwok_talk]

Is the VP's lackey an actor I should know?

[fred]

is that saddam?
