Timby posted:When they were mapping out Day 7, they were originally going to have Mandy be Tony's accomplice, but they decided that would be a little too out-there. Especially as she kidnapped him in Day 4. I still hope she makes a return in LAD, she was a pretty cool villain.

DrBouvenstein posted:I don't know about you goon, but I always waffle on whether season 2 or 3 was the better season. At least with the Kim stuff in Day 2 you can ignore every single scene of hers that doesn't also involve Jack and miss literally nothing. The scene where she says goodbye to Jack when he's flying the nuke-plane is pretty emotional though.

I wish they'd had a few times where someone breaks under torture and spills the plan, but later you find he was lying and just said anything to stop the torture (like what actually happens) resulting in the real plan succeeding. It would have been a nice subversion of the normal 24 "torture always works" thing.

Geekkake posted:Every time I think about that scene with Miles - which is probably too often - I just imagine Jack red-faced and screaming into the phone "JUST SHOOT HIM AGAIN KIM FOR GOD'S SAKE FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE BE A loving BAUER AND KEEP SHOOTING HIM" and I laugh every time. I always loved in season 7 when the terrorists try to grab Kim at the airport and she stabs the guy in the leg with a pen. After she tries to call Renee her phone dies so she just yells DAMMIT! and chases after the terrorist guy. I remember the thread at the time was laughing about how Kim finally activated the Bauer genes.

The best thing about Palmers death was immediately following it up with Michelles death. Palmer was a "Holy poo poo, they're starting the season off with a bang" moment but I don't think anyone was expecting another major character to die in the premier episode, before the first commercial break. I know I pretty much jumped out my seat going  .

Sherry did kill a man entirely by yelling at him which was pretty awesome though. Even Jack hasn't done that.

Ravel posted:To be fair all the other seasons start in either the morning or midday. By the end of the first season he's been awake for over 40 hours. And he's still a mostly normal man with a wife and family, the hacksaw incident was a great way to show how much the loss of Teri hosed him up and why he was first to volunteer for the one way flight with the nuke.

Narcissus1916 posted:I kinda like season 3 more after-the-fact because of how well the 24 game slots into the space between season 2 and 3. You actually get to see how Jack and Chase became partners, along with all sorts of cameos from people like Chloe and Mandy and the whole 24 family Just a shame the actual gameplay is pretty lovely. The interrogation missions were fun though, getting to be all 'DAMMIT TELL ME WHERE THE BOMB IS' was fun. I'd love to see a competent developer have a crack at it again though, I think it could be a pretty awesome game. Also, I'm hyped for next Monday. Jack is back and he's gonna snap some terrorist necks

Yeah, I think he's working for the Chinese, framed Kates husband to divert attention. Is her husband alive or just in jail? Also, how come we got a .gif of Simone getting a bus to the face but none of Kate escaping her torturers? That was badass, you know Jack was totally impressed/aroused.

I laughed so hard after Jack defenestrated Margot. That was pure Bauer. Keeping Heller alive was dumb as hell but whatever, it's  .The drone override sounds like it's going to become a new CIP device/Nuclear power planet override though, which is a bit silly. I would think America would secure their poo poo better by now.

Deadpool posted:Yeah, this is seriously in the top tier of 24 seasons. Everything has been plotted really well. The 12 episode seasons suit them perfectly. But the ratings aren't that hot for it so I don't know if they'll do more. I know I'd watch 12 episode seasons from now until Kiefer died if they wanted to do it though. Final episode speculation based on last episode title: A quick google tells me a flight from London to LA is about 11 and a bit hours. That's be perfect to wrap everything in London up around 10:40pm, jump on a plane, and we arrive at LAX and 10:40am (London time, about 2am LA time) and have enough time to see Jack greeted off the plane by Kim and her kids.

Sober posted:How did it play anyway? Most of the levels were 3rd person cover based shooting, with the occasional driving level and a few puzzles of varying types simulating hacking a hard drive or opening a socket . The most unique levels were the interrogation ones where you had to choose one of 3 approaches (angry, maintain or calm) to alter the suspects stress to a target level and get them to spill the beans.There was nothing wrong with any of the ideas in the game, they just needed to have them done by better game devs. The game we got could be charitably described as 'mostly functional'. At least it told us what happened to Max from Day 2.

I hope this leads to 24: The Movie (for real this time) that's just all out nuclear war with Jack, Tony, Kate and Aaron Pierce (with Chloe as tech support) being the blackest of Black Ops teams. Cutting this season down to 12 episodes was definitely a great idea, it feels like there's been hardly any padding or filler that doesn't go anywhere.

Season 6 could have been great if they used it as a chance to mix up the formula. Like, after the nuke Jack should have been told Kim is in Valencia and he goes there fighting through looters/chaos to find/rescue Kim and get her somewhere safe. I'm not sure how you'd stretch that to 20 episodes. Maybe that would have been a good story for the movie.

CaptainHollywood posted:So so so many missteps for that season. They were coming off Emmy gold with season 5 (and four other incredibly solid seasons of television). No one questioned what they were doing- because they had been doing it for 5 years. I wish they'd not made Graem a Bauer and saved him for the Puppetmaster that Tony was trying to kill in S7 (Alan Wilson?). It would have made so much more sense instead of introducing some guy out of nowhere and being told he was really behind it all. Despite all of the issues with season 6, it still had a few awesome moments. (Vampire Jack, Jack kicking a terrorist so hard he explodes, the nuke and Jack Vs Fayad fistfight was amazing)

How many Jack-kills did we get on the boat? The loving SWORD HEAD CHOP was the Bauerest thing I've ever seen, holy poo poo, that was amazing. Cutting down to 12 episodes was the best thing this show has ever done, I can't wait for the inevitable day 10. Chloe, Kate, Belcheck and Tony go to Moscow to break Jack out.

Awesome. I really hope that's a teaser/lead in for another 12 episode Season 10. Tony released from jail to help Kate and Chloe break Jack out and stop some massive terrorist attack right? Spoiled in case you haven't watched that video yet.

Sorry to necro the thread, but there's a rumour that 24 might continue without Kiefer. https://twitter.com/TVGuideMagazine/status/556522971074818048 I can see the show continuing without him as the star, Kate was a pretty awesome LadyJack and I'd be happy to see her take over the lead. If they do another season I hope they at least resolve Jacks story, it'd suck if it just ended with him going to a Russian Prison. I can't imagine his story ending with anything else them him dying in a hail of gunfire protecting Kim.
