Day 4 just started.....thoughts anyone?

SmartBlondeGPhB · #2 01-09-2005, 11:47 PM

Not on yet out here (15 minutes) but I am VERY excited.

awesome 2 hours, looking forward to tomorrow night's 2 hour set also.

Sucks that I had to miss season 3, but I'll get around to renting those dvds when I have some spare time. I think I'll be able to follow things alright, just kind of confused as to why the president isn't black anymore, but I'll deal...

I'm not so sure about all the new supporting characters...Chloe seems to be the only one back, and she can be a little grating. I don't mind the new president, the Palmer storyline was drawn out enough, and it's good that Little Miss "writer's shortcut for showing Jack's emotional side by constantly ending up in extreme mortal danger" Kim has settled down with Chase in the suburbs. (anyone else wondering if certain events will come out when they fight - "Well, since your dad whacked off my arm...!!!")

That Driscoll lady seems so cold, almost in a boring way. George Mason and Ryan Chappelle were a**holes, but at least they had spark, some personality. Apparently holding a leadership position with CTU is extremely detrimental to long term survival (see: bullet to back of Chappelle's head last season), but at this point, if Driscoll eats it, I could care less.

Jack's new girl, jury's still out on her. Seems likeable but no chutzpah, especially compared to Tragic Terri or Kate, Queen of the WASPs. My brother and I instantly nicknamed her "terrorist bait" - skinny blonde, big scared bambi eyes, she's a perfect hostage. Before the end of the 1st hour, I told my brother, "I bet you within the end of tonight's show she'll have a gun pointed at her head."

The terrorist family is the most intriguing of the new characters.

I really liked Tony and Michelle and want to see them back. Heck, I just want to know what happened to them...I would think if the President could pardon Nina, he could pardon Tony. Tony screwed up but in the end it didn't cost lives.

I got into this show thru the DVDs and I am NOT going to like having to wait a whole week between shows!

I didn't watch last season, it moved so slow in the beginning and then I lost interest.

I was really hoping that FX would do 24 of 24 like they have done in the past.

Oh well, this season seem interesting enough.

The wife the family is very intriguing.....that girlfriend is going to be annoying, I can tell.

Yah, they need some better supporting cast (working at CTU). I didn't really like any of them except Chloe. But it was a good 2 hours and I'm glad there's another 2 tonight.

10:00 am - Jack's robbing a convenience store. AWESOME.

RUgreek · #8 01-10-2005, 11:48 PM

is it me or is everyone at CTU just got too much soap opera going on in their lives?

Only Jack's brain goes there. DH and I both screamed "LET THE AIR OUT OF HIS TIRES!!!" but noooo, he has to go put a ski mask on. I miss snarking on Kim/Spawn, though. Too many new characters. How do you like the way they are trying to make chloe look like a girl? Highlighted hair, makeup, tailored/feminine blouse.

My question is, when do we find out about the personal-vendetta-against-Jack-of-the-season? You know this was all started by someone Jack supposedly betrayed in the past....I think it's Terri...she didn't actually die, and is now getting back at him for cheating on her with Nina. LOL.

Can you PM me the link please?

I am really enjoying this season so far. We taped the 1st four hours and watched it all in one sitting and it still wasn't enough. I really like the suspense in this one. I can't wait till next Monday.

I have to say though, Fox better not make me wait until January again - that was toture.

I was enjoying this season up until:

bad guy in the yellow truck goes "Its been an honour serving with you...Allahu Akbar"..drives truck into another truck...truck explodes..

I thought 24 would be more creative than that.....disappointing really.

RUgreek · #14 01-20-2005, 07:31 PM

Moe, check your PM.

But yea, that's like the hollywood terrorist sign off line, probably ripped it from the palestinian suicide bombers. I never understood why they chanted G-d is great, if He's so great why are they committing suicide?

Oh well, really sucks that he can't interrogate his ass now, lol.

I guess the suicide just makes it that much harder for Jack to get into the compound before it's destroyed... I guess we'll find out Monday...
