They make sense if you watch the whole season. (and that's the reason why a lot of people don't watch it because they haven't seen previous episodes)

It is hardly boring, twenty four episodes is hardly too long, it makes sense if you watch it all, if you don't bother watching every episode you don't deserve to understand it

whoops forgot the see the last ep. OH well, thats a shame.

[Reply #43 on:]

I love the show,, and think it's one of the best things on TV. Seriously though, after seeing the season 2 finale,

Show spoiler

if they kill Dennis Haysbert, I'n not watching any more.  He's my favourite character.

[Reply #44 on:]

I've definately noticed a different style in seasons 1 and 2, i'm not sure which i prefer yet, 'll need to finish S2.

I went and saw a spoiler on the net too  (Not that above)

[Reply #45 on:]

We just finished season 2 in Australia. I loved the ending.

[Reply #46 on:]

shit did i miss the last ep shine when was it???

[Reply #47 on:]

Last week.

[Reply #48 on:]

Just saw the final episode of season 2, (Although it's not finished in the UK yet).

I don't know what i prefer more, S1 or S2, they're very different.

[Reply #49 on:]

Yeah it's a hard choice but in the end i'll probably go with season 2 because of cherri's role.

[Reply #50 on:]

Cherrie is a great character, but her going out in S1 (Being dumped) was a great scene, i loved her lack of power.
Final Episode:

Show spoiler

This is also the same as the last episode where she says she is scared, both great moments.

I also found Cherrie and Lynn's stand-offs great, my favourite being the meeting in the lift.

Favourite scene: Interrigation of Nina by Jack.

[Reply #51 on:]

Favourite scene anything with Cherri.
Palmer is my second favourite character because he'd be a better president then Bush.

[Reply #52 on:]

24 is such a great show! i love it (not as much as Futurama of course) well the season 1 i just wached a few episodes and wsnt really interested but season 2 oh boy it was great!

[Reply #53 on:]

You really need to see S1, get the boxset, it is amazing. It sets up alot of the storyline for season 2 and is better.

[Reply #54 on:]

well yeah i know all the important things its just that i dont feel like seeing it

[Reply #55 on:]

You should, once you get into it you can't get away from it.

[Reply #56 on:]

thats what im afraid of

[Reply #57 on:]

What you should do is limit yourself to one episode a night, instead of watching normal television...... it should work. It did for me.

[Reply #58 on:]

well thae will rerun it sometime in Mexico and if it does i will 

[Reply #59 on:]

If you loved the characters of Nina and Sherry (I checked, it's spelled that way), then Season 1 is a must see, they play out some of their best scenes, episode 24 is probably Sherry's best.

[Reply #60 on:]

i liked Kim, she shot a guy!

[Reply #61 on:]

Yeah, but season 2 showed Kim to be the absoulte biggest bonehead on TV.

[Reply #62 on:]

Ah yes, the problem-child Kim. When S2 started i thought that she was more responsible, but her storylines kept getting more and more stupid. Why couldn't she make it to her aunt's damnit, get her out the way.

The problem is they couldn't have her too intergrated into the main plot as they did in S1, or it would seem too repetitive.

[Reply #63 on:]

I love kim, everyone i know who watches the show thinks she's an annoying brat. I've never really liked Nina, She annoys me more than Kim.
Is it just me or do you think that all the women are treated really badly in the show?

[Reply #64 on:]

Kim i find is annoying. She's too "unlucky" and her storylines are pathetic. Her character seems stupid and pathetic, that is why i find her annoying. At first i thought "cut her some slack" about those that hated her, but i began to agree with her.
S3 Info:

Show spoiler

Apparently in S3 she will work for CTU, i'm not 100% sure if this is right. It may make her story less annoying, who knows.

Nina i find is great, she's pure evil and the character you love to hate. Scenes with her and Jack seem great, the tension in them.

[Reply #65 on:]

Show spoiler

Kim has certainly had more experience then some of the agents at CTU. But is she really smart enough for a job at CTU.

[Reply #66 on:]

Final Episode of S2:

Show spoiler

The assassin hired to kill David Palmer, that's the same one that was used in S1 that blew up the plane, wasn't she?

[Reply #67 on:]

Show spoiler

Yeah it was her. Her names Mandy.

[Reply #68 on:]

Final Episode of S2:

Show spoiler

If "Plan B" was so effective and only took 20 or so minutes, why go through with the other 23 hours and 40 minutes of plan?

[Reply #69 on:]

24 was a great show and season two was the best. It reminds me of the sum of all fears, except for one reason. The spoiler is for the sum of all fears. (24, too)

Show spoiler

the terrorists actually succeded in SOAF

[Reply #70 on:]

Since it's finished in the UK too, i suppose we can stop using spoilers.

We don't know if Palmer is dead yet, and i'm not fully sure if he is. Possible info about season 3:

Show spoiler

In Pure 24 (A UK show shown after the program on Digital), it is mentioned that his brother will be in the next episode. To me it may seem a bit random having him in there.
I have also seen Palmer in the crew shots for Season 3, however this may just be a way of saying he could still be alive.

[Reply #71 on:]

Well, everyone, season 3 has begun!  What do you thing of

Show spoiler

Jack's drug addiction?

  Do you think Kim will

Show spoiler

be usefull interning at CTU, instead of just running into never-ending strings of bad luck like the last 2 seasons?

  And what about

Show spoiler

her new relationship?

  Is it just me, or is there

Show spoiler

something going on between Palmer and his doctor?

  Expect spoilers a-plenty as PEEL discusses the 3rd season of 24!   

Seriously, I think the season's off to a great start.  This year's pilot shows even more promise then last year.  I'm glad to see

Show spoiler

Palmer survived; he's my favourite character on the show.  But will Sherri or (especially) Palmer's kids be appearing this season?  I was really dissapointed when we only saw a little bit of Keith last year!

  I'm really looking forward to the developments this season!

[Reply #72 on:]

Bugger, already?

We only finished S2 2/3 months ago! We have to wait till February in the UK.

[Reply #73 on:]

And FOX are still bargaining over that (at least for Sky). It seems that the BBC's decision to switch to non-encrypted digital satellite (up till earlier this year, all BBC channels were broadcast through Sky's own satellite), which means that some people in northern France and other nations can pick up the BBC for free in digital. This is annoying FOX, who obviously have distribution deals set up for other European countries. So much, in fact, that the BBC may be forced to broadcast other programming on digital satellite when 24 airs. Of course, it probably won't come to that. (Doesn't affect me - NTL.  ).

Interesting when you take this in conjunction with Tony Ball's (Sky chairman) complaint that the BBC should stop buying US shows (because they handle them much better than Sky One, perhaps?  ). I for one would hate to see any of the commercial channels getting 24 - I happen to like the commerical-free version. 

[Reply #74 on:]

I was really pleased with the pilot as well, they are not afraid to tackle topical issues and there is lots of potential in the storylines already.

I think

Show spoiler

Jack's addiction is a great move, during season two he became some sort of super human killing machine, hopefully he will be more 'human' in this series.

As for Kim

Show spoiler

working at CTU - I'm just glad she won't be repeating the pattern of 1) do something stupid  2) get captured  3) escape  4) repeat.......   that she got into in season 2 where I quite frankly wanted her dead by the fifth episode!

And I was so pleased to see

Show spoiler

Tony and Michelle married. They seem like a cute couple but no doubt this season will cause tensions etc. Michelle seems to have been dolled up a bit for this series, she's showing a lot of cleavage and leg, which is a bit sad as her character is more than just eye candy.

[Reply #75 on:]

Isn't a pilot the first ever episode, after that they're just the first of a season?

And i'd hate commercial channels getting them as i'd hate to not see them or wait years to see them on TV. That and the adverts not being there are a good thing too 

[Reply #76 on:]

From what I've heard, the new storylines sound really interesting, and I can't wait for it to start over here. I hope nothing goes wrong with the BBC though, it's the only one of their shows I watch with any regularity and the no ads makes a huge difference.

[Reply #77 on:]

Look!  The news is a little old, but should still be exciting for 24 fans.

[Reply #78 on:]

S3 has been airing for a few weeks now in the US and this season is just as interesting and riveting as in the past. Im glad to see that a show that i like is actually succeeding and not getting cancelled like every other show i've liked.

[Reply #79 on:]

Now, this is a kick in the teeth for UK fans. The BBC has lost the rights to air Season Three, and Sky One has snapped them up. :angry: Although this means the terrestrial rights are going to Channel 4 (most likely), it still means an end to the advert free shows.
