Great to see Jack again. Yes, I did see and glean more from tonight than the original showing. Maybe I was not watching from the very beginning last time, but I didn't remember any of the opening. The first I remembered was Michelle and Tony talking then Michelle getting blown up and Tony right after her.

Again, the two hours were gone before I was ready for it to be over. I loved this part where the show ended tonight and look forward to next Friday night.

I'm not saying more because maybe there are some new viewers and don't want to spoil the show for you.

You are in for a treat if you love 24. Season 4 and 5 are tied in my opinion for the best of the series. I'm all geared up for tonight. Since it comes on at 7 here, same time as The O'Reilly Factor, which my dh cannot live without, I get to watch the first hour in the bedroom.....not too bad as the TV in there has a much better picture, just not as large a screen or the sound. I'll live LOL and get to watch the last half hour in the den.

Oh yes, I loved season 1 that really did get me hooked on 24.

Season 2 was ok but not as good as season 1,

Season 3 was ho hum. But season 4 with the two different stories going and a chicken [!@#$%^&*] guy for president hiding away cuz he didn't want to get killed. David Palmer would never had wanted to do that.

I think that Mike would make a good president.

Here is a link to an excellent site telling everything you'd like to know about 24.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_(television)

It does have spoilers for Season 5, so be careful not to venture down into that section. Also there are links to sites that have more spoilers.

I love it especially for learning more about the actors who are in the episodes.

It was bad enough the first time. I wonder even be being this season on DVD.

Because it is excellent. Everyone I talk to thinks it ties Season 4 as the best. Maybe you need to watch it all the way through again :huh:

Season Four was great the first time, but after watching it on DVD I see how quickly it fell apart. The Araz story ended terribly, because they didn't account for how popular Dina would be. Maryanne's story could've saved Curtis from being the uber dull token black, but they made her the predictable traitor so it went nowhere. Poor Behrooz is STILL sitting in that van and if it weren't for DVD we wouldn't know what happened to him. How can you not tell us what happened to a major character?

The things I loved about it were...

- Michelle, Palmer and Tony's returns were all excellent. They thought outside the box and it paid off.

- Introducing Logan was great, loved seeing him with Mike and Palmer. Shame they ruined it with that silly evil twist.

- Dina Araz was excellent, Shorah Adagosloo was mesmerizing and remains my favorite actor from this show.

- Chloe was at her peak this year. I didn't think anything could top her brow beating Kim or that damn baby, but she was kickass here.

Now season five....not only did the plot make no sense, but they made it incredibly apparant that they were writing it on the fly. Things didn't make sense, character development was lacking (especially at CTU) and something the writers have admitted is to killing off too many people.

Before a death was a HUGE event and we felt it. With Ryan Chappelle, George Mason and Edgar last season, it wasn't done for shocks. You understood it, it was well written and we felt it. This year they killed so many people it becomes clear it's more about the shock. Hell, Tony's death was an after-thought, effected no one and he didn't even get a silent clock!

Instead of leaving Tony alive for the millionth time, why not kill him and let us see how Michelle deals with the grief? She's already shown she is a female Jack in the field and the show is lacking strong female characters like they. They could also use more interesting characters who can go in the field like before. Now because Jack does everything there is a lot of filler and the real time format is a joke.

As for the Logan's. I personally think Martha has always been overrated but I HATED what they did to Charles! To have a President like David Palmer is amazing, but they struck gold twice. Why do they feel the need to clean house every season? I doubt they can top Logan and Palmer.

To see more people who agree with me, check out the Bitter thread at TWoP: http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/in...526&st=1035

But don't worry, there IS a thread for the people who are still loving the show. It's not very popular, but it is there: http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/in...4220&st=600

    • I'm not even sure why Zoe would care, even if they know each other offcamera.  I can't see Jean going, but if she is - good riddance at this point.
    • I just found the commercial on YouTube, with several other GL'ers doing the same commercial - how fun!

        She did the same for me once Ghost Reva arrived (the anxiety and paranoia) - which is when the storyline for Rick/Annie started, with their Chicago past and her alcoholism. But before all that, when she was new and tending to Josh's broken leg, she was just normal, sweet and very cute/flirty. 
    • I have to admit Annie exhausted me somewhat before she went nuts. So much anxiety. She and Robert were OK I guess. Didn't ever stick out much one way or the other.
    • I meant to ask in the May thread, but hey...it's not like it won't come up...   ...has our opinions of Jessica changed at this point? I know we debated at one point if she was sincere in her feelings for Ty or if she was in on his bullying. Now that a little more time has passed, what do we think? 
    • Which is why I said...and continue to say mind you...that the designer is still trying to figure out what works for which character...highlight my points with particular characters. And as I also agree with you, too many misses. She has not found a clear, firm rhythm for me. Yet.   I also agree that BTG does a much better job. But I'll give credit where it's due. 
    • I watch many episodes from the Vault, a secret source here on SON, because the quality is much better than YouTube. But, it has commercials that I have to skip through, although even these commercials give me serious nostalgia vibes. All that said, there is a consistent 1996 commercial for Excedrin with Frank Beatty!  He talks right into the camera about his feelings, and it's like Brent Lawrence never left. I wonder if GL fans back in the day ever saw this and had feelings about it. 
    • Dukes of Hazzard had a good run when it moved to 8pm but even when that was failing ABC and NBC couldn't come up with a hit show to dominate  that timeslot. NBC sent The A Team, Knight Rider and Riptide there for their final seasons and CBS did the same with Scarecrow & Mrs King. Otherwise it was a barrage of new shows that never worked.
    • Agree. Much more miss than hit. Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I thought clothing was supposed to be flattering. A lot of the Y&R women are seen in the tight solid color dresses ,often with cutouts/one shoulder. Now that may be a fashion but to have all of them in interchangeable dresses... Do the characters have a particular color pallette/style that is unique to them? BTG does a better job in that department. Some recent Y&R looks. I actually like the dress but we see that style too often.   Nikki's new look is not to my liking.
    • The first show I found had Maeve dressed horribly, and I just shook my head and thought she must've been thrilled to be portraying someone much more sophisticated and rich. Vanessa's hats and gloves probably cost more than her AW character's entire wardrobe.
    • It is the least aware sobriety memoir I've ever read. No spoilers, but where was the editor to ask what she learned from all the stories in her life?
