I literally just watched some of those S1 episodes today on Amzn and Jack used his Ninja "knife hand" on Coffell and stopped his heart before he even got to the towel. Torture?

That's a threat of torture, definitely, but it would have been as far as 24 went. Except that I forgot Jack also beats the poo poo out of him, so, eh.

e: Just to be clear, I'm speaking in 24 terms, where merely threatening a painful death by torture is downright subtle in comparison to some of the later scenes.

HOly poo poo the actress who plays Chloe is so terrible I couldn't even take this show seriously. I checked out a few "Best of" lists to find out if there's a consensus on the best season and it was Season 5 by a wide margin. SO I watched that, and she's JUST AS BAD. Years later and she speaks her line with absolutely no gravity, and appears to be looking to someone just off-camera to show her how to move her face to portray the emotion she should currently be expressing. I wish she took that bullet instead of the constant love interest. Is she related to Sutherland or a big time producer in real life? How did she remain employed since season one?

Chloe is the best character on the show :colbert:

Seriously, how can you not love her permanent mega-bitch expression and tone in her voice, makes me laugh every time, with it's continual undercurrent of "You goddamned incompetent morons".

I will admit I didn't care for her the first season she appeared, but every season thereafter she continued to grow on me.

She was a bit of a frump in season 3, but I think the writers soon realized she could be played for laughs a bit more and was actually a good foil for Jack.

Hey, we all hate season 6. I'm always one to look for the silver lining, though:
-nuclear explosion in a major US city
-final duel on exploding oil rig
-milo shot in the goddamn face


Just realized you might be posting that list cause you've never seen S6 before, so I spoilered my list for you

I kinda liked Milo in season 1; he was a proto-Chloe, an abrasive but entertaining character offering snarky commentary on events from a somewhat outsider perspective.

Season 6 Milo was a dick who deserved to get shot in the face, though.

Godddamned the two blonde sisters in S2 are insufferable. Now I remember why I started bailing on this show back then and for good in S3 until S7.

Gonna keep watching on Amzn for the hell of it though, at least I can ffwd the filler parts and get right to the Jack Bauer action jackson.

By the end of the season I thought Kate Warner was a pretty cool character but yea the first 4-6 episodes of that storyline are just difficult to sit through. This was especially true when they aired because it was the follow-up to Season 1 which blew everybody away, and you had to wait a whole week just for more Warner family bullshit. Now I would just power through those first four episodes in one binge and get it over with.

Not to mention at the time they had a lot of Ford advertising to deal with. A good portion of the first episode is just an excuse to get them to drive around in a brand new Ford Thunderbird.

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?

It's something the showrunners wanted to do it seems. I doubt Fox sanctioned having a tease for more 24 on the DVD and Blu-ray. Though Fox would be stupid to not have more 24.

Keep in mind LAD pretty much ignored or contradicted "Chloe's Arrest" on the season 8 DVD.

It should start with a new cast at the FBI or whatever agency you want to use. Regular day, nothing or of the ordinary. Spend time introducing everyone and what they do. No word or hint of a terrorist threat. Then boom, something comes up the alert feed: Prison break on a max-security facility.

I hate this dumb show so much. Everything post season 6 has been to me what season 8 of Dexter was to the rest of you.

But sure, why not? If the showrunner around season 2 laughed off the idea of bringing Jack's DAD into the drama, then why not commit to the pranky jokey fake ending they wrote for season 2 back then too? Let's bring Nina back! Evil Robo Palmer too. We've already got magic glasses, for chrissake.
