I just watched 24 5x05. O...M...G....

That show is soo freakin intense!!! My eyes hurt because I think I only blinked when the clock showed up every now and then.


Jack is freakin' cool as hell! I wanna be him! He totally stabbed that guy in the neck with scissors! Owie!!!

I think the show would be absolutely perfect if he wore a black trench all of the time.

ya rly 😉
 
All the episodes I see just seem terribly unrealistic and cliche, albiet intense while you're viewing it. Overall I'd say I'd never tune in for it and I'd probably not stop to watch it if I happened upon it.

I heard the DVD's on't offer much extra content. I think I'll rent each DVD. 🙁
 
seriously one of the most overrated shows in existance.


My roommates are absolutely obbsessed with that wretched show. They kept telling me to watch it, so I watch the first 5 episodes of season 3. They kept having to push me to watch and they are like "why aren't you going crazy about what happens next?"

the answer... "becasue it's stupid." it really is pretty stupid, and they try to make sooo many plot twists, the plot twists become expected, thus defeating their purpose. Great writing there boys
 
I'm up to episode 11 or so in season 1 watching from the beginning. It is very addicting and I LOVE the plot twists so far, so man "Ohhhh Daaaamn *snap*" moments.
I've tried to get one of my housemates to watch but he says it?s "too intense" and he doesn't like being stressed watching it, I think its more of a cop out that he doesn't want a new addiction. It does have some truth to it, once I'm done I come back to my dull boring life and think "Glad to be back in safety" where with other shows its over and you think "Damn, I wish I were there instead of here."

But YES watch it 😀
 
I heard season 3 was the weakest season. As far as how good is it? Well I stayed up till 1:30am watching Season 2 discs 2 and 3 last night knowing that I had to get up at 5:30 to get ready for work, got disc 4 ready and 5 is in the mail. Very addicting, start with season 1.
 
I've only watched the season 1 and it kinda got tiresome. It was just going back and forth between the good guys and the bad guys rescuing/kidnapping all the fvcking time. If I were Jack or one of his men I would have killed them just to save myself the trouble of having to save them again.
 
24 is a badass show, but I agree with some people that sesaon 5 (the current one) is the weakest by far.

i've been trying to catch up on the shield and i'm in the middle of season 4. the shield is better than 24 IMO (atleast at this point, after seeing all the first 4 seasons of 24 and the way s5 is going).

vick macky > jack bauer

sorry guys, but it's the truth 😛
 
OMFG....you all gotta watch the monday episode...If GMU wins on Saturday, I 'll be switching channels between the game and 24, it's going to be an awesome episode that's going to leave a lot of you :Q

Just wait....

Regards
