I agree. I don't know what you others are talking about. Last seasons rocked my sox. It was awesome. I never like the first season or the second though.

I also agree the storyline needs to match the action with the same magnitude.

Don't get me wrong, a good but not great season of 24 is still worlds away from every other show!

Quoted from SuziH

Of course it's a save the USA/World situation! It wouldn't be 24 otherwise. Be prepared for more Deaths of characters we love.  
Political intrigue is a HUGE factor in this series.

As long as Jack, Chloe, Edgar, Bill, Tony, Mike, and the new people like the mum and son, and spencer don't die I'll be ok I pretty much just listed the whole cast, lol.

Anyone else realise they've added a bit more humour to this season of 24? I thought some parts of the show were actually quite funny, like when (in the first ep) Jack hits that police officer underground to get his uniform, and then derick's like "is he going to be ok?" or something and Chloe's says "Yeah, he's really good at this...I think". Couldn't stop laughing at that point. Chloe's probably one of the best characters I think, so funny.

Yep these two 2-hr episodes were fantastic, I too don't want to wait until Weds to see more!! (but I guess I will...lol)  

I wasn't as impressed with the last season as I was with the previous ones, but I am very excited to see they've vastly improved on that season already in only the first couple of hours!  

I like Chloe, although it's taken a while for her to grow on me, I think it's due to her better storylines now, in the first couple of seasons she was just really annoying... I am not too impressed Edgar is back though, he's taken over from Chloe in my opinion as the annoying one!

Brace yourself then elie. You're in for a wild ride.

I feel like I should ready an oxygen tank or something while I watch 24 this season...I usually stop breathing halfway through the show.

Yes i know. He is so anoying. I think why chloe anoyed me from beginning was she acts like she has a metal problem, like always giving looks and acting werid. Although i have accepted her now. Edgar,,,, he talks like hes chewing on a chicken at the sametime as talking or like his just run up stairs and is out of breath. Never talks like a normal person

personally I am not fond of the short, overweight, homosexual hobbit

Edgar is a wonderful guy, IMHO. He plays a simple but very clever man. He and Chloe have an interesting friendship of mutual respect and love. Chloe is very fond of Edgar. Chloe's character developes to full bloom this series. Chloe is dedicated to Jack and she is very very honest. She does not suffer what she sees as a fool, gladly. The episode I watched last night off the net was number 116. 5th episode from the end of this current series. Chloe was hilarious. Love this series. Who has died so far from the free to air shows?

By the looks of it, 24 is going to one night - Thursdays - good one, twice a week was a really good idea, really kept the momentum.  

Seven has just screened hour 6 so Palmer and Michelle have been killed off so far.

Why I asked was because I almost put my foot in it by posting something I shouldn't, yet, so thanks for the heads up.  

From Wednesday July 12, Seven will air double episodes of 24 on Wednesday and Thursday nights. This truly is the stupidest move Seven has ever made. Not only will this bring the ratings even further down, it will alienate viewers from ever watching 24 on Seven. If it's rating low, move it to 10:30. 4 times a week is just too much for the average viewer. This means it will end on Thursday August 3 if they continue this way.

Thanks to Aaron over at TvAus for the news.

Oh come on! I have school!

Oh well, I'll probably have to tape the second episode, I can't watch that much in a night and do like no work. I would rather them screen only 2 episodes a week, but having said that, I don't mind taping an ep and watching it the day after.

Anyways, the last episode was brilliant. I loved the president's expressesion when Jack was kicking the hell out of Walt Cummings.

wow! I'm already taping it and watching on the weekends (just finished last weeks' episodes!), 4 hours a week is a bit much but at least we won't have to wait too long to see what happens!!!
