I'm surprised the US government still functions in 24-land given how many presidents have been assassinated or thrown out of office.

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. Fun fact: Burgi was originally cast to play Jack Bauer but the producers decided to go with a bigger name and hired Kiefer.

My favorite part of season 6 is the fact that a nuke being detonated in an American city is pretty much forgotten about halfway through the season and is never mentioned again not once during the remainder of the series.

Phenotype posted:I might do a little rewatching this weekend, but someone mentioned it earlier in the thread: the only thing you need to know is that Jack Bauer is the ultimate badass who went into hiding to protect America. Also, no one ever believes him for some reason, even though he's always right. Only Heller and Audrey so far. Gonz posted:9 different Presidents in 14 years and 6 months. 10 if you count President Heller this season. That's on top of all the WMD attacks and other assorted national security failures. As I've said I'm honestly shocked that the US government still manages to function in the 24 world.

Did he just say Agent Walker? I think Heller's not the only one suffering from Alzheimer's.

Retail Slave posted:My favorite part of Jack's kill list is how it starts with Season one... as if Jack Bauer had never killed anyone at all before that as a hotshot director at CTU. And just the first names, too. The intern who put that list together got lazy. Jack's backstory is that he was Delta Force and CIA paramilitary. So really his body count should probably be in the four digit range.

Lord Hydronium posted:What the gently caress? The writers original intention was for it to be revealed that Philip had once raped Marilyn, and that Josh, Jack's nephew, was supposed to have been the product of that rape. The writers eventually decided to drop it, one of the few good story choices of that season.

nine-gear crow posted:I spent the last solid minute of that episode laughing hysterically at what an rear end in a top hat sociopath move that was. Don't forget next week when Jack Bauer, American Hero, shoots two Marines. I mean it's not like body armor issued to US serviceman has ever failed, right? Narcissus1916 posted:The vibe I got from interviews with the creative team is that they're treating this as both an awesome extended epilogue and cracking the door open to more stories. I really don't think the 24 concept works well as a movie at all, and would love to see them doing more "mini seasons" whenever FOX and the team drat well feel like it. I wouldn't be all surprised if this is meant to lead to more 24 down the road. The last few years since the show originally went off the air haven't exactly been kind to FOX.

Dresh posted:I was so upset when they killed Renee, because this is literally why she existed in the first place. Maybe the mole will be on the badguys' side this time? We'll see someone who looks suspiciously like Renee working with the badguys, but it can't possibly be her because she has an eyepatch! Then the reveal happens... That really pissed me off too. So the only reason you created a really good character like Renee was to kill her off so Jack would have a reason to get good and mad? Couldn't you have just killed Kim?

DivisionPost posted:You could still get a decent Dirty Dozen/Magnificent Seven-esque season out of the people still alive. From what I remember, Chase is only short a hand, Tony's in a hole somewhere, of course you've got Belcheck, Kate, Chloe, and then there's Jack. If Agent Freddie Prinze Jr. is still alive (never finished Season 8) that's 7 people with distinct personalities, motivations, and/or skillsets. There are better shows out there that would die for such fertile dramatic soil. Hey after Tony you could probably bring back the ones that died. Curtis, Bill, Renee, and President Palmer reanimated as universal soldiers or something.

It's funny that CTU would torture literally anyone, including the children of cabinet members, based on the flimsiest of evidence, but wouldn't dream of not honoring an immunity agreement with a dangerous terrorist who will almost certainly go on to kill again.
