before anything even my life jack bauer comes first, i love this show nothing can beat 24, its one crazy day for jack as they say but he always saves the day in the end. there r five season to date and the sixth is in production which will air early next year cant wait.
Guest
I dont think i've ever even watched one episode of 24 lol
Guest
oh dude ur missin one hell of a show its bloody brilliant, cant force u 2 watch it but wud strongly recommend, just to start u with sumin i love this scene i always watch it:
I feel with a show like this if i started watching it now, i'd only be mega confused with whats going on lol
Guest
I hated when Sean Astin's character died, so I stopped watching it
Guest
haha he die with honour thou, and its not confusing but ya so much does happen in a day if u think like that it cud be a bit but just go with the flow mate.
Guest
Indeed he did but it was still really sad, and they watched
Guest
well there ws no other option he had to if not the whole of CTU wud have died.god bless astin
Guest
I love Sean, 24 is pretty swish, I'm gonna' try and get into it more because I did enjoy the episodes I watched plus Kiefer was amazing in the sentinel.
Guest
oh that ws a good show sentinel michael douglas ws also cool in it, anything to do with kefier sutherland
Guest
whats is this topic about? :S
Guest
The tv show '24'
April_Rose
Kiefer Sutherland is a God (I've loved him since Stand By Me and The Lost Boys) and this is a truly fantastic show. I'd recommend watching it form the start though if you haven't, (downloads available all over the net and the box sets are available in all dvd shops) as things like Jack's relationship with his daughter are pretty complicated and you need to understand them to get his character.
BRG, I'm a huge fan of this show too, can you believe RTE never even publisxcised the fact they were showing series 5, I was so annoyed I just downloaded it in the end. I can't wait for january but I am actually thinking of waiting until June and watching the whole thing in a day, it's an intense experience but well worth it! How are they going to start it off do you think, with the way the last series ended?
Guest
yes i hate rte they have no respect 4 good shows like 24 instead they have there own reality shows goin on these days,but sky one is the channel to watch 24 they rock.
well it will start where it left of from, but this time its not jack savin the world this time he gotta save him self so no terrorists this time.he will be taken to chinese prison and from there he will escape.dnt forget to watch the exclusive new footage and trailer to be released on oct24th, to check it out go to the offical 24 website.cant wait.
April_Rose
will do yeah, i hate rte and it breaks my heart to pay 155 euro a year for a tv licence, and I hate reality tv in principle, I don't have sky so can't watch it on sky one, I think i will just wait until june though and then watch all of the series over a real 24 hours, i did that with the second half of season 4 and it was a great way to watch, seriously intense but bloody brilliant, and it was cool not having to wait a week for the next episode.
had a look at the site and will be back to look at it again on the 24th, do you really think it will eb jack trying to escape from a chinese prison/forced labour camp though? I just don't know if there would be enough stuff in that, and they couldn't have him fly back over the pacific asw it would take too many of the 24 hours.
whatever happens I'm really looking forward to it, I hate it when people say it's better or lost is better as they are just so different you can't compare, I lve them both
Guest
ur rite u cant compare the shows lile lost or prison break with 24 they all rock in there own way, but 24 seriously does rock.
well it will start in like he'l be tortured real bad and ur rite about forced labour camp dnt know much about the theme of se6 as it is a big mystery, but i can tell u this that wayne palmer will be back and hes got to do sumin with the presidency i cried like a baby when tony almeida died, he ws his best buddy and he appeared in all season up to date, here's a clip of his death.
thanks for the clip but i couldn't bear to watch it again, i was pretty much in tears when that happened as well, it was bad enough they killed off David Palmer and Michelle but when Tony died it was just too much to take, he was such a great character, a true friend of Jack's, from the first series when they didn't really trust each other and were kind of fighting over Nina and now you see how far they came they could trust each other absolutely and risk their lives for one another and it was just so sad...
Really looking forward to seeing the trailer, it better not be one of those things that only lets you watch if you're in america, I'd go mad, yeah, big mystery around season 6, lots of new characters I'll bet, I really hope Chloe is in it though, I think she's the best of the ones that are left, she's really funny but she'd do anythign for Jack. Glad Wayne palmer is back too, he's a good character, not as idealistic as his brother, more flawed, but still one of the good guys
Guest
well i hope this helps u, its a spolier but what the heck:
James Cromwell & Eddie Izzard Clock-In On '24' (FOX)
(September 12, 2006) -- Oscar- and Emmy-nominated actor James Cromwell ("Babe," "Six Feet Under") and Emmy Award-winning actor Eddie Izzard ("Dress to Kill," "My Super Ex-Girlfriend") join the season six cast of 24, this year's most Emmy Award-winning television series, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Kiefer Sutherland) and Outstanding Drama Series. The clock for "Day Six" will begin to tick in January, Mondays (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
The highly respected Cromwell will recur this season as PHILLIP BAUER, the estranged father of JACK BAUER (Sutherland), while British actor/comedian Izzard will portray a villainous accomplice, DARREN McCARTHY. In addition to Cromwell and Izzard, newcomers joining the pulse-pounding thriller include Kal Penn ("Harold & Kumar"), Marisol Nichols ("In Justice"), Alexander Siddig ("Syriana") and Harry Lennix ("Commander in Chief"). Eric Balfour and Carlo Rota will reprise their respective roles as CTU contractors MILO PRESSMAN and MORRIS O'BRIAN.
Season five concluded with a battered and bloodied Bauer captured by Chinese government agents and headed for points unknown. Season six picks up 20 months later. Wayne Palmer (DB Woodside), the strong-minded brother of the late President David Palmer, is now himself the President of the United States, while his sister, Sandra Palmer (Regina King), is a determined and powerful advocacy lawyer. After a series of horrific terrorist attacks, Palmer and his team of advisors, KAREN Hayes (Jayne Atkinson) and THOMAS LENNOX (Peter MacNicol) – as well as CTU colleagues CHLOE O'BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub), CURTIS MANNING (Roger Cross) and BILL BUCHANAN (James Morrison) – begin an unthinkable, nail-biting day.
April_Rose
sounds good, wow, Wayne Palmer as president, I suppose the sympathy vote and the fact Logan was indicted woudl have helped him get ther ebut it sounds good, glad Bill and Curtis are back as well as Chloe, it's gona be great, thanks for that, it's a spoiler but not a real one
I read that a Philip Baeur was going to be in it but didn't know who he was, Jack's Dad, that sounds good, any word on whether Kim will be back? I always liekd ehr character and was disappointed she wasn't in the last two series much, I know her movie career was beginning to take off but she hasn't been in anythign lately so you'd think she'd want to appear a few times at least, maybe the appearance of a grandfather will help that. I thought she was best in season 2 but I like her character and it was such an important part of season 1
Guest
there will be series of attacks this time, i wonder how will jack come to all this, as he will be held in the chinese prison, i mean he cant escape chian and return to LA in a day.
April_Rose
yeah,. that's what I was wondering, I mean even on a really fast military jet you're talking about 8 hours from eastern china to western usa, on a normal plane it's more than 12 hours and that would waste a hole lot of hours of the show, unless Jack's already escaped and on his way when the show opens and he tells how he escaped, or there is a connection between the terrorists and a city in China he escapes to, or if not China then somewhere in asia at least like indonesia or malasia or somewhere he could get to in a couple of hours, I think there's more atttacks and they get more mental every seasons, i thought the terrorists stealing the warheads in s4 was pretty good but they did top it with Logan's involvement in s5
Guest
oh nice one april as u mentioned there he cud escape china and then enter sum other asian country as u mentioned there that cud take him couple of hours to reach LA, that cud work he has to cum back to LA, damn i cant wait.
April_Rose
maybe some of the action takes place on a plane, maybe he escapes and endds up on a plane and then finds out it is going to be taken over by terrorists and has to try to contact CTU and stuff and find out who the terrorist on board is before they get near the States, i don't know if there woudl be enough material there for the amoutn of hours it takes to fly across the pacific but it could be.
Or maybe Waybe Palmer is on a state visit to China as President and jack hops aboard and gets a lift back - Air Force One goes pretty damned fast as far as I know!
Guest
any of the theroies u mentioned cud be it, we can find out a bit more when that trailer and new footage comes out on oct24th.
April_Rose
wow, saww teh trailer, it looks really good, anyone else wants to see it they can check it out on
Jack looks all jesus-like with the beard, looks like they already have him on a plane, and then ask him to sacrifice himself - just because he's willing to do that though doesn'tmean he'll die, there's so many times before he nearly died...I know Kiefer can't keep doing the show forever but I hope he does more than one more series!
AAAAAHHHH! Can't wait till january - though, crazy as it sounds, I'm still thinking of waitin till june and watching it all as one 24hour extravanganza!
Guest
i'v just bought se 5 its brillaint i did see it b4 on sky one but watching it again and finishing it in 2 days ws brilliant what show i love bauer,se 6 will be on sky one in january the railer looks awsome.
April_Rose
Yeah I loved the trailer and season 6 looks brilliant but I think I might wait until it's finished and watch all 24 episodes over a day over a weekend. I've only got season 1 on dvd but hopefully I'll get s2 for xmas, build them up slowlly one by one until i have the whole collection!
Have you played the playstation game? I just got it out this week, it's not too hard(I'm not very good and i've nearly finished it without using cheats) but the storyline isn't bad considering it's a game and not a real show.
Guest
yeah i'v played it i think its awsome its based during se 2 and 3 and all of em have given their voices its cool.good luck with se 2 thats a great season i'v got all of em and its a great collection all the seasons r great but 4 me se1 is still the best.
April_Rose
Season 1 was really great but I loved season 2, think maybe it had the best plot with all the twists and drama, it hasn't been the same since s3 as Nina's dead now so we know she won't be popping up anytime now
Guest
i do know this that there will be a 24 movie out in 2008 and it will be based in london as a thnk you 2 the british audience 4 there support for season 1 and 2 as it wsnt that huge back in states but it did quiet well in uk so i ws watching kiefer sutherland's interview and thats what he said, i also read that the movie will have nothing to do with any of the seasons so the charaters who r dead will be back for this movie its just a one off for the fans.
April_Rose
wow, now that soudns interesting, and it would be great to have the whole cast back! 24 really is just such a great show. Finished the game, it was good, I loved the storyline!
Guest
glad to hear u finish the game, i cant wait for se6 got the new sky magazine and in the end it says that next month which is january they will be showing se6.
April_Rose
I don't have sky so it'll have to be the net for me, unless i wait for RTE - not likely!
boondocksaintchk
24 is the awesomest!! i love kiefer as jack bauer...he's totally my hero! i've been with that show since day 1 and that final moment just took my breath away and ever since then, i've been loyally watching each bad day he has. i love seeing the field work jack does versus the behind-the-scenes bs-ing in the government (especially this season dealing with terrorists and the constitution and democratic rights of the people of this country)..it's really great stuff and excellent writing and perfect acting.
this season they have totally ratched up the adrenaline rushes...i love it!! can't wait for monday!!...not to mention prison break just before it...sweet
April_Rose
It's a fantastic show, I've been watching it from the start as well, my favourite season so far was 2.
I love the way they deal with things like the constitution as well, it's got everything - conspiracy theories, well developed characters ,fantastically written plotlines, brilliant acting and direction, and unvelievable excitement - what a moment at the end of episode one of this series - when he bit the guy's throat - fantastic!
April_Rose
Season 6 has been great so far but I felt a bit let down by episode 15, were the usual writers off on holiday that week or what? Some of the dialogue, especially between Milo and Nadia was really cheesy, and between Milo and Doyle just seemed off a few times; and I think they messed up the time codes a few times as well! Haven't seen 9-10pm yet, will watch that tonight, hopefully it's back to its glorious best!
Guest
u gotta watch epidoe 16 i thought it was brilliant dnt wana spoli anything for ya but it was brilliant, and yes CTU has been quiet boring recently, as they are focusing on the white house alot this season.
April_Rose
Yeah saw episode 16 last night, much better, I just think the writers were on holiday when episode 15 was being done, I think with CTU they're trying to make Nadia and Milo into the new Tony and Michelle, can't be done though!
Doyle really bloody annoys me as well, he's so self-righteous I just want jack to give him a good kicking!
What an ending to episode 16 though, Palmer going ahead with the strike? I can't wait for next week! And the Russian guy dead, plus Fayed in custody, but his guy will go ahead and try to blow the bombs up somewhere in LA probably if they can't get to the nuclear power plant. It'll still be a race against time!
I suppose they are focussing more on the white house this season again, like they used to when David Palmer was president. Love the scene when Lennox told the Vice president the room was bugged
There's still at least one big twist to come though, there always is in the later episodes, someone else who's been working against them, my money's on Doyle!
Guest
nice i know it ws that scene when the two terroist go in a bar.what hapnd to charles logan wonder if he suruvied that attack by her ex-wife.
April_Rose
yeah, we haven't seen him since, he wasn't dead when we last saw him though so he might still be alive, even if we don't see him again in this series we might see him again in the future. Was good to see Aaron Pearse again, with martha Logan, wish he had a bigger role though, he's a great character, was a really cool bodyguard to the presidents in previous series!
Guest
hes been in all the seasons, great character, but i actually feel for charles logan he was only trying to make hings rite and his stupid ex wife stabbed him, i really want to see more of him.and a milo/nadia story can be compared with tonymichelle,but i think they rocked no one can replace them.cant wait for the next eps abu fayed is captured what will jack do to him.im kinda surprised april that u are watching it every week i thought u couldn't wait a week for the next eps as u mentioned u like watching on dvd.
April_Rose
Yeah that was the original plan but after the first four episodes had played in america I downloaded and watched them and then I was hooked, couldn't wait till the series was over! I'm very impatient!
I loved Tony and Michelle, such a shame they died, they were great characters, I'd say we'll see more of Logan to be honest, if he was dead they would have shown us that he died, but if we don't see more of him this series maybe he'll pop up again next time around.
Guest
i guess so there's a movie expected soon, and lot off people say that the characters of who departed in the show will appear in only for the movie.and it wnt be related with any of the seasons, also 24 will move rim LA to LONDON.
April_Rose
Yeah I've heard about the movie, not sure how that's going to work though. I mean, how can a 2-3 hour film match the intensity and excitement of 24 hour long episodes?
Guest
i agree im having doubts too im not so sure it'l work, but i member i was watching kiefer sutherland appearing on johnathan ross and he said maybe be the movie wont be a hit but its just to say thnx to british audiance as they wer the first one to appercaite the show when it wsnt even hufe in america.
April_Rose
That's right I saw that as well, I remember now. As long as they keep making the series as well I don't mind, probably for the best it'll have its own storyline though.
Guest
my god what a eps 17 ws and the next one is going to be a cracker.
April_Rose
Haven't seen it yet, will watch it tonight or tomorrow, accidentally read a spoiler about it though!
Guest
my god sum1 dies in this eps, and when sum 1 dies in 24 a character we havnt seen in a while turns up.
April_Rose
Haven't seen a trailer for the next one, 17 was a good show though, I watched it last night, I'd heard Audrey was alive so I was expecting to see her, those damn chinese again though! And Wayne, not sure how much longer he's going to last the way he's going, nice bluff though, even I didn't see that coming! Will try to find a preview for the next one so I get a look, from what you say it sounds exciting!
wayne palmer will never be like his brother that dude was a legend.i hate chang hes got scores to settel with bauer.
April_Rose
Yeah but he had him for two years or something and judging by the shape Jack was in when he got back he got his revenge, he should just let it go - although it'll make for a good finish to the season!
No, Wayne will never be anywhere near as good as David, i wish they hadn't killed him off!
Thanks for the promo, god I hope Jack shoots Doyle, I really hate him!
Guest
i actually feel for doyle hes no that bad its just the job really, i think milo is jealous of nadia and doyle as they have become closer i like that.poor milo.
i think ur rite coz the bombs have been recovered and fayed is dead, so there's no threat to america well atleast for the rest of the season.but no its chang vs bauer.
i got the new oficial 24 mag today get it its available in eason's bloody brilliant lots of info and a cool bauer poster.
April_Rose
My hubby gets jealous of my thing for Kiefer Sutherland so I don't think he'd like it if I got a poster
I just hate Doyle, he annoys me, I really liked Chase and Curtis and the other field ops guys in CTU but so far I certainly haven't taken to Doyle at all.
I was in xtravision earlier, was planning to get a movie out for the night but they're renting out box sets now, great idea, so I got Season 2 of 24 for the week, going to start watching it in an hour or so, I loved that series so much, it's a pity Kim isn't in it anymore.
Guest
i havnt been to xtravision in ages gotta check it out, i had no idea they r renting out box sets thats brilliant im gonna rent sopranos the first season havnt seen that one again in dnt know 5 years i think.
apeaking of chase he ws i departed wsnt he he ws playing matt damons partner from the academy.
April_Rose
Yeah i saw him in that, it was decent, not scorcese's best movie but it was good enough, it was nice to chase again!
We watched 10 episodes last night and nearly watched more but I was wrecked, watched one so far today, I always said season 2 was the best one so far and I haven't been disappointed! It's a shame Kim isn't in it anymore, I know a lot of people hated her but I enjoyed her storylines!
definitely worth checking xtravision for the box sets, I think I'll be watching all the back series of 24 now! The first series of the sopranos is excellent, we have the first five on dvd, bought them when they were on sale after xmas, it's mad how skinny tony is though!
Guest
thats rite back then tony wasnt that fat, now in the last season which is 6th hes really gianed weight.
i enjoyed season 2 but im more of season 1 and 5 fan myself, u cant watch it in a day i kinda watch 4 epsiodes everyday when i was catching up and thats fine i think otherwise i cud get on ur nerves.
April_Rose
I watched 8 on friday and 6 yesterday, was working well enough for me! It's been long enough that I had forgotten some of the twists and turns. Loved season 1 but I've seen it about 4 times now and I have it on dvd, I'm looking forward to getting season 3 out soon as well, it was a great one as well. I liked 5, it was very good, I'm enjoying 6 but I wouldn't say it's one of the best so far, though there's still a few episodes to go.
Tony is really fat in the game which is supposed to be set between day 2 and 3, I always wondered why they did him like that!
Guest
oh yeah tony almeida is fat in the game i was watching 24 true hollywood story and in that he said that he doesnt know y tony is fat he was laughing about it thou.
season 3 is a good one i like that scene when jack bauer kills nina myers on the same sopt where she killed teri, how ironic after being on the run for god knos what 3 years shes brought bakc to CTU and then killed by jack great.
April_Rose
yeah that was a brilliant scene, i don't think there's been a villain as good as her since though!
Guest
i liked ira gaines from season 1, simply beacuse when he blackmails him by kidnapping his wife and daughter and tells him to wear a ear piece and then he controls him throughout also hes got cameras installed in CTU
April_Rose
Yeah, CTU seems to have a lot of breaches!
I'm starting to like Bill Buchanen now, I didn't when he first came into it and he was between Tony and Michelle but he's not so bad since season 5.
Guest
yeah he aint that bad hes ok, in then end of season 5 he asks karen hayes out for breakfast after two years who knew they'l get married.
April_Rose
Yeah she annoyed me in series 5 but she's not so bad now.
I love Chloe, she's probably my favourite character after Jack now Kim',s not in it anymore and the rest were all killed. She's a geek and she can be so awkward but she's so loyal to Jack.
Guest
yes ur rite she's loyal to jack orite.tony was jack's best friend when in season 4 jack's in the warhouse with audry she says who u ringin and he says the only person trust and then bang bang almeida saves jack's as that was pretty cool.i thought tony wsnt gonna make an apperance.
I can't watch it though as my internet it currently too slow for streaming , grr!!!!!!
Xarcabard
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!
Spoiler:
CTU is gone and Tony is back from the dead. I gotta watch this!
April_Rose
I got it to work!
Not fair, we have to wait till January!!!!!!
There were rumours in the last season that Tony was gong to come back and I was disappointed when he didn't make an appearance, this looks amazing though! Best season yet I hope!
Xarcabard
It looks really good! So glad Tony is back, this time as the enemy and looking badass at it!
April_Rose
Yeah I always loved Tony, hated when he got killed, will be interesting to have him and Jack on different sides - though it might not stay that way, that's probably just a trailer of the double-bill first episode, and 24 is full of twists and turns and conspiracies....I love it so so so much!!!!
Kiefer's going to have to spend 40 days in prison in between shooting for it, he got done for drink driving during the summer.
Xarcabard
Thats no surprise, he's a total ass in real life.
Don't think they have ever had a better person to be a bad guy than Tony since Nina Myers imo.
April_Rose
Hey, I'm not impressed by drink driving but I constantly tell hubby that Kiefer is probably the one guy I'd leave him for so leave him alone!
yeah it was a great scene when Jack killed Nina but there was never a baddie to rival her since, Tony always had that rebel streak in him (same as Jack) so it should be brilliant....january is a long way away though!
Guest
yeahhhhhhhhhhhh
season 7 and tony is back.
awsome
April_Rose
Hi BRG! Good to see you back on the site!
yeah, it looks so so good....i can't wait! Last time the trailer was all just about the first episode.....so if that's the case again, it'll be a hell of a start to the season! I bet Tony and Jack end up working together at some stage!
You hear about Kiefer having to do jail-time in between shooting episodes?
Guest
thnx rose good to be back
yes i thought bout that they other dau aswell
they prob will as they were quiet a team back in the good ol ctu days.
the plot for season 7 seems like die hard 4 to me.
and yes kiefer sutherland will be doing time 48 days to be precise but i will be during december then he'l be back filiming rest of the eps in feburary as they have filmed the day eps now the night ones will be fimed later as the nights are long.
so i'v heard they always do that in every season.
im dnt mind him drinking but drinking and driving is just plain and simple stupid.
April_Rose
yeah I know - especially when he's hardly in the category of not being able to afford a taxi! he could have a full-time chauffeur if he wanted!
I never thought about how they have to film day and night seperately....
Does seem a bit die-hard-like, but I'd say the twists it'll go through will change all that! Watched s2 on dvd a while ago and it was great, had forgotten a lot of little bits but not the big stuff so could pay attention to all the twists in a way that I just can't when it's one!
Guest
yes they do that film seprately.thats y the shooting of the whole season last round bout 9-10 months.
exactly get urself a cab or a chauffeur stupid man.
ohh defn the plot will change as the season progresses.
plus jack bauer's gotta female partner this time that will be intresting.
i member season 2 very well that was a good one.
but for me season 1 and 5.
April_Rose
I loves s1, got me into it, but i still think s2 was the best yet, s3 second for me.
Guest
season 3 was different from the first ones
as ctu was changed new characters were introduced
and also the best part for me was in season 3 was jack on drugs.
when hes fighting ever so hard not to take anymore and the ending was class.
April_Rose
Yeah I loved that, though they've always been able to show the vulnerable side to Jack as well as his ass-kicking!
Guest
ur right that was weird thou
when he broke down in tears
i member wen i watched that first time i was like
wow.never saw that coming
excellent stuff.
April_Rose
Yeah, 24 can do dramatic scenes as well as action scenes!
There's always been that side to Jack I think, in S1 it was related to Terri and Kim but as the show progressed he showed some of his own vulnerabilities. I wish Kim was back in it though, I always liked her.
Guest
yes hopefully she'l be back.i heard she wants to be back in 24 movie but as this will be the second last season so who knows.
do u member the altenative ending of season 1 in that teri is alive that is so weird.
April_Rose
I never saw that???? Is that on the DVD? If so I never watched that bit! That wouldn't work at all for the way Nina turns up in S2 or 3 though.....sounds weird all right!
Cool, I look forward to 24 the movie!
This is the 2nd last season?
Guest
yes it is on the bonus dvd its so weird i was like what the hell they just give eachother a hug and walkaway. nina was evil.
April_Rose
Mad, I don't think I ever did look at all the bonus features now you mention it, I never thought there'd be anything good like that in there! Yeah Nina was evil, I think that's why I love s2&3 so much though, they've never managed to get a baddie that's quite as bad as her since!
Guest
maybe tony is the new nina.lol
ya there are heaps of xtras on bonus dvds check em out.
i thought president charles logan was a cool baddie
who wud have thought prseident of united states was
responsible of everything in season 5.
also robocop christopher hendreson was just awsome
and that showdown between him and juck on the submarine was awsome.
April_Rose
yeah he was ok, Logan was ok as well, didn't find him that great though. Would be great if Tony was the new Nina, like I say though I think he and Jack will end up on the same side before the end of the new series!
