Rageaholic Monkey posted:Yeah that was worse than the worst season of 24. You should watch the sixth season again. And I only say this because you have to be reminded of how bad it was. Which was even more disappointing after the fifth season, which was the absolute best of the show.

The sixth season had a Kal Penn cameo and a nuke going off in LA in the first few episodes, then it was mostly forgotten about for the rest of the season, which focused on James Cromwell as Jack's dad, the villain, right?

This has been said time and time again, but the western US in the 24-verse should technically be a hellish nuclear wasteland after the San Gabriel reactors melted down in season 4. Combine that with the fact that over a period of 15 years, the government has seen something like 8 different Presidents, yet the in-show universe treats this as something normal, rather than something that happens to random third world countries every 12-18 months.

Not to mention the 2-3 nuclear detonations in US soil. Those should be a big deal. Also Air Force One was shot down or taken out by The Mummy. Really, 24's USA is about the only place Jack Bauer can exist so I'm ok with it. If James Heller aka the Secretary of Offense was in it, it was a good season.

Sober posted:Wait, if that was season six then which season was the one with the Haitian? Didn't he like invade the White House or something and then Jack Bauer flew a plane from its undercarriage or is it all just melting together into one The one with the stuff in the White House was the seventh season. I really liked that one. But that one had a ton of characters I loved like Bill Buchanan, Karen Hayes, Allison Taylor, Tony Almeida, and had some great stuff with Chloe. Also managed to have a decent short storyline with Kim.

Oh right, that was when CTU got nerve gassed. Edgar dying was so depressing  And Jack somehow ran through a bunch of nerve gas and ventilated it without dying.That was the season where Logan was President and was crooked as gently caress and Jack kidnapped him to get him to confess. Also, "Is there anything else................CHARLES?  "That was my favorite season by far. I don't know why I didn't remember Kim's involvement being a part of that season though.

I went along with it earlier, but I think I need a refresher anyway. The only super-awesome thing I remember Heller doing is driving his car into the ocean upon learning that some terrorists were trying to leverage his life in a standoff with Jack. Like, he heard what was going on, got Audrey on the phone, and said "I love you and if you blame yourself or Jack for this then you're a loving idiot." Then he drove off the road while screaming "gently caress ALL Y'ALL" (well he might as well have), and survived because St. Peter took one look at that and said, "Sorry, your balls can't fit through our gates. Go back to Earth while we sort that out." So, okay, that was God damned awesome, but if he's got a title it's based off more than one incident. What else did he get involved in?

He was captured by Middle Eastern terrorists and promptly escaped using John McClane tactics, though he was eventually recaptured when they threatened his daughter. Edit: ^^^ then he did the above escape with Jack, which was a massive firefight and involved the secretary using an assault rifle to blow up red barrels or crates or something like it's an FPS.

The Fox promos for 24 are always way over the top because they're meant to capture people's attention (and a very wide group of people's attention, since they're not AMC or anything - casual viewers and non-viewers) and show the location/main idea of the season. In this case, it's lots of random chaos in the streets of London (more war zone style instead of 24's more movie style "They armed a bomb and there's only [x] time before it goes off!) with Jack+Chloe trying to survive in the middle of it. Season 8, for instance, used this really inane thing where Jack is standing on taxi cab roofs (NEW YORK!!!) and running crouched in slo mo under blowing laundry lines on building roofs while that deep voiced Fox narrator talks. Speaking of, I hope Deep Voiced Fox Narrator returns for episode promos.

I do love that season 2 of 24 started with decapitating a child molesters head, detonated a nuclear weapon on US soil, and ends with Jack dying and coming back to life....and it still isn't the craziest season of 24.

I'm interrupting this 24 news to ask if anyone else has been watching the Lucas Bros Moving Company? This show is low key funny. It's not outrageously laugh out loud but it's decently solid so far and maybe it's just the pothead in me, but I find it to be the only tolerable Fox ADHD show (sorry Spacedad!  ).These guys are 80s kids, smoke pot, have a moving company that they don't want to really work at, and are frenemies with Jake the Snake Roberts. It's a show that would be right at home on Adult Swim.
