xcore posted:Wikipedia has a pretty crappy season summary, but I don't want to have to read each individual episodes plot. Does anyone have any good pages that tell the story of each season in a few hundred words? The show is so batshit that it is impossible to tell the story in a few hundred words. The first third has one plot, then the second third had another and it ends with a completely different one. They usually have a common thread and a couple of moles. bobkatt013 fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Feb 12, 2014 |

Narcissus1916 posted:I used to play the good old Jack Bauer Power Hour in college, so this is like coming back for a homecoming or something. Season 8 also has an amazing scene where Jack dressed like Iron Man attacks the former VP car, and the VP shits his pants since he knows nothing can stop Jack. The best thing about season 5 is when the kid that is a major plot point is just forgotten.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Does anyone know how the process of writing Season 1 went? I refuse to believe that it was all planned from the start because the Nina twist makes no goddamn sense when you consider the rest of the season. Also Kim's friend's dad. I think the first 13 episodes were written first then they got a full season and did the rest. What was the issue with Kim's friend's dad?

Timby posted:Richard Burgi is one of those actors where you just know he's a bad guy the moment he shows up. Same with how Sean Bean always dies, Christopher Lee and Alan Rickman are always bad, etc. ... or, for an example from the same season of 24, Michael Massee. That is not true By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged!

It is crazy to think how big of a gamble 24 was. It was the start of huge serial storytelling on network tv. I mean there were some that did it before and better (Homicide), but it was the first that was hugly popular.

Echo Chamber posted:The show was in constant danger of cancellation during the first season if I remember it right. I remember being one of the very few people I knew who watched it. They seriously considered changing the format for the second season. I doubt that since they ordered all 24 episodes after only 3 aired. If it was in danger of cancellation they would have ended it after 13. I think the change in format was one of the head writers ideas, and it was ignored. I mean I could understand why they would want to change it since writing a 24 season must be insane.

GAINING WEIGHT... posted:I think just the fact that the villains were Jack's relatives wasn't what killed the season. Having that weird bald bluetooth guy in season 5 without an explanation and then revealing him to be Jack's estranged brother was pretty cool. It's when Jack's dad goes "well, one of my only two sons, you've done a great job with absolutely everything I asked for, but I think I'll just go ahead and kill you to protect [vague motivations related to his company]." It's like...no. No way. Sayid Ali, who was going to set off a nuke in LA in season 2, was motivated by the health and safety of his family. No way would a father kill their son in cold blood like that for no goddamned reason. I thought he killed him since Jack was torturing him, and he did not want to be found out.

Ninjasaurus posted:I'm not holding out hope for Agent Pierce to come back unless he's decided to reenlist in the Secret Service and join Heller's security detail. The writers couldn't figure out a way to bring him back in season 8 and I was fine with that considering how stupidly shoehorned his sole appearance in season 6 was. Season 6 made sort of sense as he was becoming real friendly with Martha Logan.

Ninjasaurus posted:I consider his appearance shoehorned in by proxy. They really ruined Martha in season 6 by making her a deranged lunatic when by that point she should have been feeling better, given that her husband was brought to justice. She had a history of mental illness. Why would she suddenly get better?

Geekkake posted:I dunno, man. I came into 24 fresh a couple months ago, knowing only that it was some insane trainwreck TV and maybe pro-torture?, and the cougar scenes stood out pretty strongly to me, despite having never heard of them before. I mean, it's just... Girl being maybe stalked by a mountain lion in the woods for no reason? And then... and then oh hey it's back, just sort of standing around looking at its handler waving a steak off-screen, and then Kim gets caught in a snare trap that literally no other wildlife had been dumb enough to be caught in. And then Discount Matt Dillon showed up and was like, "oh, I see you are stuck in this snare trap. Here, you see? You just sort of pull it apart" and Kim was just baffled. It was worth it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhmbJKSSuYQ

Ninjasaurus posted:Oh, it was definitely a moment of catharsis for me too. "Again. Shoot him again." She gained the transitive property of Jack? The season ends with Heller, Audry, Jack, and Chloe going on a london rampage. All I am asking for this season is to have Jack torture the queen.

Ninjasaurus posted:It would be wonderful if the Queen turns out to be the new Charles Logan. Yeah I know he never tortured Logan but what if he storms Buckingham Palace and takes her hostage? Heller and Audrey could back him up just like they did when he helped them escape that terrorist fortress. And Chloe returns to firing machine guns. I guess what I'm asking for is for the writers to bring back all of the most badass action moments from season 4. They are all armored up like Jack from season 8.
