Echo Chamber posted:24 Season 6 from memory (after the first four decent episodes): drat son. Where do people fall about season 7? Cause I adored it, all of it. Including the absolute bananas storming of the White House. Season 8 is all over the place too, with a terrible first half of the season stalling for time and some truly awful subplots. The back half where they basically make Jack Bauer the villain is great TV though.

Narcissus1916 posted:drat son. I liked season 8. The TVIV thread mostly didn't like Season 8, until Jack killed Starbuck. Then they loving loved everything that happened after that.

Narcissus1916 posted:drat son. Season 7 was great up until Jon Voight died and we got Evil Tony (for real this time) and the bad guy who was apparently behind everything in day 5 despite never being mentioned or seen before. The white house attack was incredibly stupid and ridiculous in the best possible way though.

I liked Season 7, liked some parts of 8, and never saw LAD. 6 was the worst. Echo Chamber posted:
Ah man, he was the best. Nothing will ever top his scenes in Season 5.

I don't care how bad it got, I liked every season of 24, even season 6 despite it being like, super terrible. Still not down on the new series yet, season 1 of the original was pretty mellow compared to where the show ended up.

I saw it all. Binged through it, including the movie. I didn't get into it until after the 9th season. Hell, that movie. Anyway, comparing this season to how it's been, I don't find it that bad in comparison other than the differences between the current protagonist and Jack Bauer. This is the first time I had to wait a week between episodes.GobiasIndustries posted:I don't care how bad it got, I liked every season of 24, even season 6 despite it being like, super terrible. Still not down on the new series yet, season 1 of the original was pretty mellow compared to where the show ended up. Season 1 of 24 aired almost 16 years ago. Comparing the first season to the current one - I think we've been familiarized with its content and perhaps even its format in certain aspects over the years more than we might think, even if you never originally saw the show. It's not really "new" per say in said aspects. I guess we'll see how it goes and if they can maintain their current viewers.

For all of Season 6's faults it gave us: Jack vampiring a guy. Jack acing Black Jack. Nuke going off in LA. Jack kneecapping his sister in-law. Audrey in a role that the actress could actually pull off. "drat, Jack."

You're confusing Henderson's wife with Graem's. Jack shot Robocop's wife in season 5. Season 5 was good.

Day 8 gave us Logan screaming "It's Jack Bauer! Jack Bauer!" and making GBS threads himself as Jack turns into Jason Vorhees. So that's always a point in its favour.

Season 6 had Jack Bauer doing Jack Bauer things, which by definition makes it superior to Legacy.

Season 7 and 8 were good because they had Renee and slowly turned her into female Jack. Season 8 was bad because they killed Renee.

I feel bad for her getting fridged but it lead to my avatar so I can't complain too much.

Renee really was awesome. I'm pretty sure they gave her a silent clock when Jack "shot" her and buried her alive and that's still one of my favorite scenes in the series.

That reminds me that Day 6 also had the worst use of the silent clock as well.

I thought the end of season 8 was a good way of ending Jack's storyline. Again, I never saw Live Another Day so I don't know how they hosed it up.

And turning Chloe into Lisbeth Salander. And having Yorkshire 20 minutes' drive from Central London. Apart from that, though, it was pretty decent! Small Strange Bird fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Feb 22, 2017 |

Was there ever talk of Jack's nephew being his secret lovechild or something with his brother's wife? I haven't watched season 6 since it aired, but I remembered the kid resembling jack much more than Emil from robocop.

The show is not great, but I'm going to stick with it until the end of the season, mostly because I want to see if they bring back any of the characters from the first season, or at least hint at them coming back. It's easy to think Jack just got offed by the Russians, but I like to think there's more going on. Here's hoping the next season starts with Tony and Eric busting him out of a gulag.

I do hate that the end of Season 9 ended with Jack getting screwed over. I know it was his choice to sacrifice himself (I think?), but come on, give your lead a better send-off that that. It was a slap in the face (if he doesn't make a cameo in this spin-off or other media in the future). This season is "later season Sons of Anarchy" level bad so far, BTW. I kinda have to do something while I'm watching it just to not feel like I'm wasting my time. It doesn't feel like it earned the right to have the 24 name yet. Is there really an interesting plot in here that justifies its existence? JazzFlight fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Feb 27, 2017 |

They're bringing Tony back only to kill him with a lead pipe.

You know, I've been rewatching early seasons of 24 (just got finished with 2, 4 episodes into 3, I'm hesitating between doing 1 or 4 after that) and after reflecting a bit on it, it really fits well with how the main theme in the show is people getting demolished both physically and mentally : - Jack goes from family man with a successful government career to a broken old man who gives himself for eternal siberian torture fun. Also like 5 of his love interest get killed. - Tony throws everything away in a futile attempt at revenge - Michelle dies - David Palmer goes from idealist to authorizing torture within his first presidency and gets assassinated - Chloe goes to prison, gets tortured and her child and husband die in a car crash - Audrey gets sniped - So does Renee - Buchanan gets exploded. The only people who survived 24 are those who knew when to walk away like Kim or Aaron Pierce (my favorite side character). edit : so I guess my point is lol if you think half of the cast for Legacy is even gonna survive to the end of the day.

I'm guessing the terrorist cells are going to be activated and the US will fall into chaos / martial law to end the first act. That's when we'll have our first time skip if they're bothering with one. LAD had a chance to do something fun with the 12 episode format and they wasted it. I'm hoping for something now and I can't wait to be disappointed once again.

This may be the worst subplot. Actually dad fought the Russians so he's cool. Like who the gently caress keeps duck tape on their kitchen. I'm actively hating everything about this show. It's not even a good hatewatch. EDIT: If he kills him I'm back on board. Happy Noodle Boy fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Feb 28, 2017 |
