HAHA. What if Jack made a copy in like 2 seconds, and gave him the copy along with the following message..." o Christopher. As you can probably assume by hearing my voice, there are multiple copies of this message being sent to numerous sources within the government. Have a nice day. Oh, and this recording will explode in 3, 2, 1."
so dumb you'll cash out after it ends lol. I on the other hand have no idea what's going on except that the president is a bad guy and Jack is out to get him. Though I have no idea how the show has gotten to that point, it's still fun to watch.
btw, actor playing the president was on cold pizza this morning. Dude wears 3 earrings in his left ear. Que Lindo!

That's what is really funny about people giving up on the show. The show itself is farfetched, couldn't really happen, unrealistic, so on & so on, but yet, you've watched it from the begining knowing probably all along that these things couldn't happen. It'a just a TV show! These events are suppose to be happening while the rest of the world continues their everyday life. There condensing everything into 1 hour just for us. That's probably why sometimes things look rushed, dumb, unrealistic. Take a look at the other shows like the CSI's shows. The episodes are good and exciting, but how real are they? How easy is it to find evidence that fast? Sometime back in the Express News, there was an article on the crime lab, and it's not that easy to find clues or is it that glamorous. Keep watching 24, it's just going to get better!
I really hate the "it's just a TV show" argument... I mean, you could use it with any piece of crap on television.
I can see Scott's complaint. Some people may not care if a show is realistic/believeable, and more power to them. No one says it has to be. But part of the appeal to fans in the beginning was the believeability of the 24-hour timeline and relative believeability of the plot.
While I'm not saying Season 5 COULDN'T have happened in real life, I would say that all of the twists and the constant barrage of new characters and mounting body counts cheapen the suspense of the show. I like the suspense and story to build over several episodes.
For me, it's sort of like 90's Metallica vs. 80's Metallica... I liked 90's Metallica, but I knew they could do better based on what they did in the 80's. Later Metallica, like this season's 24, was more of a guilty pleasure.
I like how they can go across town in like 5 minutes, or during a commercial break.
What happened to Curtis?
I wish that Collette Stenger becomes a regular. HOTTTTT. (http://www.stanakatic.com/)

I'm assuming she's the redhead, and she should, considering Edgar's a corpse
Cheese dumplings.
24 always has the hottest damn terrorists.
I'm beginning to be of scott's view.
Yeah, just a show. But in the early seasons, while there were crazy twists and turns, and you were expected to believe that no one sleeps, eats, drinks, or has to pee in 24 hours. Also that traffic in LA is NEVER a problem.
But as my co-worker said about this season's level of believability - Dude, an ex-president DIED in the first five minutes. Not just an ex-president - a very popular guy, and the first black president. DIED. And not just died - was KILLED by a sniper. Uh, yeah. NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS TODAY. Remember Reagan? He was old, and with mixed popularity. Everything shut down for a week. Trust me, no treaties get signed, no one flies back to Russia after two hours in the states. Potentially hostages get taken at an airport, but no one is flying BACK to Russia from that airport two hours later. People aren't being shot on national TV. The martial law doesn't go into effect without Congressional approval.
Also, a colleague and the daughter of the Sec of Defense is not tortured by government officials on flimsy evidence, and her father doesn't hog tie her to a pipe while he leaves the evidence backing his extoration with some guy without making copies. At least hide it somewhere, dude.
That doesn't even touch on the body count, or the twists that are clearly solely for the effect of jaw-dropping.
Now I fondly remember the cougar and the trap in season 2, ok? But yeah, that was more believable than this crap.
All the killings were obviously used so they can get rid of the ld and get new characters for less money
best part of the show
Okay, how many other shows on TV show the characters eating, sleeping, drinking, or peeing, and span multiple days? Talk about a week argument.you were expected to believe that no one sleeps, eats, drinks, or has to pee in 24 hours. Also that traffic in LA is NEVER a problem.
And it's hard to have bad traffic in LA when there's martial law on the streets
, I bet some of you who criticize the show so much think Lord of the Rings was good too.
Well then, what storylines do you suggest the show should have? What believable plots that haven't been on 24 would you go with? UFO lands in front of the White House? Oh, how about Jack Baur takes the place of Tom Cruise's character in 24's version of "War of the Worlds"! This might be a winner! Jack battles a terrorist only to find out in the last episode that the terrorist reveals to Jack, "I am your father!". Or we might have Jack going on a much needed vacation to Hawaii only for the 737 he's in crashes on an unchartered island. There he has a new mystery to solve, like a hatch he needs to open, strange voices on the island, a possible monster, and of course, the "others". Come to think of it, these storylines sound familiar!!
Jack Bauer don't need no damn pilot license to land a damn plane.
As Spurminator said,
"Jack Bauer is one bad mofo"
AND THE DUDE FROM FALCON CREST LIVES!!!
