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

    • For me she just doesn't really work on Y&R, in part because of the performers around her and the style of the show.  Her second run as Tina did not utilize her in the best way much of the time but I think they did still find some of those softer moments, or Andrea did, and she just fit better with the performers around her. 
    • Didn't Katie call The Nose out a few weeks ago when Katie overheard her talking to Zende? OC, there was absolutely no follow-up. Maybe it'll come out when Daphne returns to drop a surprise on Carter. We all know Carter talking about having a family to Daphne that night is typical B&B foreshadowing. 
    • Unfortunately no….no one can touch Steffy

    • Tamara Tunie was exhilarating today. All her scenes were emotional, touching, and heartbreaking. 
    • This is why they complain cause the other soaps got them brain washed into believing soap stories should drag and drag and drag
    • Bill is about to fall out, lol. Why would Hayley even feel like she had to prove that she was pregnant to Dani? Maybe she likes this non-stop roundabout of drama or perhaps she's triggered because Dani actually was on to something. Anita really was an opportunist and now it's caught up to her. 
    • She was a natural going all the way back to her audition reel.    It's a shame that Rauch and co really amped up the more OTT aspects of Tina's character in the 2nd half of the 80s because Evans proved she could play understated and vunerable without the theatrics. It's also why she was able to slip into playing a recast Patty Williams on Y & R a few short weeks before the climax of the story with Jack Abbott.  She had natural instincts, and knew when the dial it back and when to let loose.  
    • Wow, this was some amazing acting and amazing writing.  And who came up with the idea that Anita would have memorized the letter?  That person deserves an Emmy!  I love it when soap operas do very serious storylines.  So much in the last 40 years on soaps has been done for laughs or as camp.  Its good to see BTG is not afraid to hit the serious notes.  We all knew Anita had a secret, but I never expected this kind of tragedy was behind it.  
    • Finally... the show is giving TT some material to play and I like that Anita isn't coming off as so innocent.   Although I do think so far that the story is mirroring the Supremes just a bit too much with Tracy as Mary, Sharon as Florence, Anita as Diana, and Dante (name?) as Berry.  Andre... run far away from Dani because she isn't over Bill and you're far too good to settle for being second choice.  The fact that I've read comments on other forums stating that Dani just needs the love of a good man makes me think a double standard is at play here.   If the shoe was on the other foot, viewers would be telling Dani not to settle for being second best and to find someone who would put her first.... but since the person in that position is a man, that doesn't apply.   Misandry at it's best. That said, the twist of Naomi and Hayley both witnessing Bill's latest health flare up and being on the same side was nice.   I doubt this will repair their friendship... but it would be nice if the two learned to co-exist on a civil level.   The Dani/Hayley scene was not needed and was the writers attempt to prop Dani.  MVJ certainly  learned about character propping from the Bell soaps. And I guess that Andre/Derek/Ashley is still a thing... or it was at the time this episode was being filmed.  From what I understand.. both Derek and Ashley were one of the characters featured in MVJ's story bible and I'd be curious one day to see what the write ups for both characters were in the intial character pitches (we know that Vanessa was originally named Stacy and was supposed to be AA and more level headed.... so I wonder if perhaps Derek and Ashley had a different write up/vision that changed during casting).   In the 2nd episode of the series, it was established aht Leslie knew Ashley.  She was with Jan and Eva wishing Ashley good luck on her first day nursing.. and all were chummy.
    • Yep, another good episode with a powerful and emotional ending!   I'm really enjoying learning more about Anita's storyline, as they make small reveals each episode. It's also nice not being spoiled about these reveals! It was nice seeing Leslie interact with Derek/Ashley - keep mixing these characters and building a community, it's great. I had to LOL at Derek and Ashley studying the menu though, these people eat at Orphey Gene's every day, surely they have the menu memorized by now haha. Maybe these girls will finally make Bill figure out his problem.
