Irish Joe posted:I don't know where you're getting that, but Amazon only has the last two seasons and Redemption in HD in the US. I don't know what to say, except I am getting it from my eyeballs, which I pointed at my television while watching some episodes of season 3 of the show 24 on both Netflix and Amazon Prime only two nights ago. Perhaps my TV is emanating some sort of Kasimir Effect-like force that is allowing me to watch streaming content from other dimensions? It's pretty new! Edit: Well, get this gang: My eyes are stupid and wrong. Though, hey, maybe the other dimension thing? Either way, it's SD right now. Sorry! Double edit: So it's been awhile now, and I still haven't gotten my comeuppance from Joe, which is making me nervous. I feel like he's waiting in the bushes outside my house to punch me in the dong and then run away cackling. Solid Poopsnake fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Mar 30, 2014 |

Season 1-3 are SD on Amazon. Seasons 4-8 are in HD when you view it through a connected device. On a PC they're just in SD. They used to be available in HD on the PC as well but when Amazon changed their setup a while back it changed that. I can watch them in HD just fine through the Amazon app on my TV but not in a browser. Hope that clears it up for you. The interesting part is that while the Amazon app on my TV has 4-8 in HD, the Amazon app on my Blu-ray player only has 7-8 in HD. So I don't know why it's different on different platforms, but it is.

I've decided to re-watch season 3 along with season 8 (bizarre combo, I know). Jack has just returned Ramon to his brother, Hector. At this point Jack is still suffering from heroin withdrawal. I remember how when I first saw this season, I absolutely hated Chase. But as it went on I grew to like him. And his sacrifice at the end is obviously a big plus.

The 24 game for the ps2 actually fleshes out a lot of shakier plot elements, including how Chase and Jack worked together. There's also closure to the conspiracy from season 2, they work in cameos for all the 24 favorites, and has freakin' Christian Kane as the bad guy. It also has, I poo poo you not, an entire button dedicated to making Jack Bauer scream at his enemies. "Bauer! CTU!" "Drop it!" "I will SHOOT YOU" Its not a great game, but its a great experience if you're a fan.

"I will SHOOT YOU" That is a button I would like to push. Finished season 6. For all its weaknesses, it did have some moments. The nuke going off in the morning, the final fight vs. Fayed and his chain-hanging death, and then the finale on the oil rig with Phillip Bauer's demise were all pretty fun to watch.

One thing I still find remarkable about season 2: It made a big point that if a nuclear bomb goes off in the ocean; people living in the nearby city are still pretty hosed anyway, with an increase in cancer rates, an unsafe port, and the loss of most natural ocean resources like fish. I'm assuming the writers did their homework, and it wasn't just an excuse to force a pilot to go down with the plane in the desert. Movies like The Dark Knight Rises (with President Heller) ignored this. Batman also did it in Justice League Unlimited, which also ignored this. I'm sure a few other movies and TV shows ignored this as well.

I actually thought it was pretty fun when I played it, except for the parts where the view splits into TV style multi-frames. One especially annoying part I recall when the screen was split in half where one showed the normal gameplay screen and one was the view from a news chopper. Also the game rewarded you for arresting people (which is what the yelling button was actually for, much like the SWAT games you disable people then yell at them) and gave you a higher score. That is the opposite of what should give you a higher score, 24: The Game

If it was made after season 7, the game would have had a dedicated "Go Rogue" button which allows Jack to choke-hold friendly NPCs at any time.

Wanted to point out that while re-watching season 3, I noticed the Salazars give Jack some pills to take when they notice his condition (and he refuses to shoot up). I assume they're methadone or another opiate/opiod, hence why he doesn't continue to suffer withdrawal throughout the day.

The 24 game was awesome because they gave you a badass CTU-issue Kevlar vest and that aforementioned yell button was all I ever used. Just running around yelling "Freeze! CTU!" entertained me for hours.

Hah thanks for posting the archive link to the season 5 thread. It was awesome how in between the HOLY FUCKS there was a "oh hey it's the news anchor from arrested development" who was an actual news anchor. Good times.

At least until he suffers an emotional breakdown in the last scene of that season.

DrBouvenstein posted:I don't know about you goon, but I always waffle on whether season 2 or 3 was the better season. I think Kim's adventures in season 2 are kind of sublime. She doesn't have anything to do with the main plot and she has the simple task of getting out of LA, and then all this random crazy poo poo happens to her out of nowhere. It's thriller plotting run amok. It makes me think she could go out to get some milk or pick up her prescription and then who knows where she ends up? Lost at sea? Trapped in a mineshaft that's filling with water? It really highlights the bizarre conventions of the world of 24, and it reminds me of the old Perils of Pauline type serials where the heroine just falls into one predicament after another.

i love season 7 actually using Kim well. I know some people found the stuff at the airport cheesy, but seeing her actually be useful was seven years in the making. And every season of 24 has some absolutely awful subplots. generally speaking I can ignore them if the major plot is engaging. Season three did not have Mountain!Kim! But it did completely waste Sherri and President Palmer.

I have to say I got pissed at Jack when he got mad at Tony for going after Michelle once she got kidnapped...I mean of all people he can relate yet he had to take the high road. Poor Tony. But it'd be totally out of character for Jack to support him...I think.

Looks like 24 has been pulled from Netflix. Boo. I guess it's expected given the new series is coming out. Do you think it happened by chance, i.e. the contract for 24 just happened to run out right before 12 comes out, or it got pulled to eek DVD sales out of new viewers just getting into 24, and old viewers who were in the middle of a rewatch?  . This type of thing seems to happen a lot, by which I mean something drumming up interest for old series, which then get pulled from every streaming video outlet. It just started happening now for Cosmos, for crying out loud. The original Cosmos should honestly be free everywhere at this point, but instead it was pulled from every streaming service, and seemingly every upload of the show on video sharing sights have been pulled for copyright violations since Cosmos 2: NDT Edition started airing.Luckily, it seems Amazon still has 24 streaming. Hopefully that doesn't disappear like Jack Bauer in another week or two, I just need enough time to finish Season 5, damnit! Damo fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Apr 4, 2014 |

Yea I wouldn't really call Pierce a friend, although they do know each other and Pierce obviously has respect for Jack. I assume he's more talking about real personal relationships, of which he has none at this point.
