ajzepp Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 Sorry to interrupt this thread, but I gotta ask- they just put Season 1 of 24 on Nextflix streaming and I watched the entire thing in about three days. It was addicting and awesome. My question is: are the following seasons that good? Is it worth continuing with the series or did it peak with Season 1? I did the same thing, man....and I ended up watching seasons 2, 3, 4, and 5 in short order, too, until I was caught up and ready to watch S6 on TV with everyone else. Some people felt certain seasons were better than others, but my general view is that if you really liked the first season, you'll really like the rest of them. In other words, the qualities that you really liked about your initial exposure are still goign to be present in following "days", so I say go for it. You're lucky, cause IMO watching the show on DVD is FAR better than watching it on TV. Not only are you without the commercials, but you can watch it almost in real time and you don't have the intensity from one episode wearing off over the course of the week before you see the next one. You carry it from one right into the next, and it's awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was really only one season that I would skip over if given the option, season 6. The main complaint that tends to come up is that after 3 or 4 seasons, the writing seems stale because they had pretty much done everything already. One of the most interesting characters of the show doesn't show up until around season 5, so I'd at least go that far. To me, the finest hour of the entire series happened in season 2, so I'd at least give that day a shot if I was in your shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 which hour was that? The Ryan Chappelle "incident"? Chapelle was in 4 or 5. I don't want to ruin it for Andrew, but the one I'm thinking of involves George Mason and then the interaction between Jack and Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew in CA Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks for the advice, guys. I'm gonna watch season 2 and take it from there; my concern was I'd start watching it, it'd suck, but I'd keep watching it just to find out how it ended. Sounds like most are agreed that season 2 is a good one, though, so I'm psyched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, forgot about that dweeb....Kim could have done SO much better I still remember how much I loved 24 from that very first episode...I'm often tempted to rent season 1 again and do what you suggested a long time ago....watch it in real time in marathon style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is the first I've stuck thru every week, way better watching it all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's a lot more fun when you have every episode sitting there on disc and you can just watch straight through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 I don't know about you guys, but I'm REALLY enjoying the 2ndhalf of this season. I was pretty dissapointed with the first several weeks, but now we're back to Jack kicking asss and taking names, and I'm expecting things to finish with a bang. Can't believe this is the end!

ajzepp Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yes, next week looks good too....Logan is a slimeball Bringing Logan back was an awesome move...I don't know the name of the actor, but he does a GREAT job in that role. The Logan v. Bauer thing has always been good TV I think I said this earlier in the thread, but I'm also very thankful that they found a way to turn Freddie Prinze into a non-douche. He's been much more believable in the role than I ever would have expected. As Rico pointed out earlier, that Chase guy from a few seasons ago was a major drag...I didn't want a repeat of that. I'm still disappointed in how they used Katee Sackhoff, cause I've always had a thing for her....but oh well. Final four hours....let's go out with a bang, Jack!

ajzepp Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 I hope that torch clip wasn't just a tease and Jack actually uses that torch. Same here....we could have easily figured he wouldn't use it up until just this past episode, but now that Jack has ventured into 'cold blood' territory, there may be no turning back....and he's probably sick and tired of having his love interests off'd.

GoodBye Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I hope that torch clip wasn't just a tease and Jack actually uses that torch. They do show him using it in the preview burning the guy's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangalang Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Jack had some good jokes this week... Jack: Where's Dana Walsh? Bad Guy: 1st Door on the left? Jack: Thanks...(Then he proceeds to pistol whip him.) (After realizing Jack took his clip) Cole: You're an SOB. Jack: I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
