24: Season 5

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 09 Mar 2006, 00:56

If you ain't seen the double-episode shown this week, I've been kind and spoiler-tagged the following

Edgar dies! Yes! I thought Chloe was annoying (she still is) but my God, Edgar did my nut in. Also, Kim coming back was threatened a few episodes back, and they finally made good on it. However, my wish for her to be brought back wearing a bikini top (because of the time she was spending at the beach with Chase) was ignored.
Bastards.
Give (some of) the fans what they want!

Hey,

I don't like Sean Astin as McGill much still, but the last couple episodes where he went psycho and shouted at everyone were pretty funny

I hate Chloe also, she couldnt act her way out of a paper bag.

I recently saw an interview with Sutherland in which he confirmed that he has signed contracts for seasons 6, 7 and 8 and on top of all that he has signed for a theatrical movie of "24". WTF?

Season 5 is really crappy so far. I can't think of anything fresh and new to be contributed to what was the best TV series ever.

It was all an act!

But it's nowhere near as good as seasons 1-3.

Well I'm loving it!

Especially because I can watch it in 720p HD on my 37inch Panasonic plasma with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound!

You've got Sky HD?!

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 23 Apr 2006, 20:58

Er... no! I wouldn't waste my money on any form of Sky Digital!

24 Season 5 is "available" in 720p with 5.1 surround sound...

I agree LD, I really don't see how a 24 movie can work - it won't be 24, it will be just a standard political thriller (if 24 hasnt become that already).

S5 is good, but the others were better.

I heard that one of the seasons was going to be 22 hours long and would have a 2 hour finale, which would be the movie.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 24 Apr 2006, 12:38

Ah. That sort of makes sense I suppose. But you'd have to watch all of the season otherwise you wouldnt understand the movie

It's a RoboCop reunion!

LOL! I thought exactly the same thing!

"I'm melting!"

Last night's episode was excellent!

Let's not go nuts.

Barely acceptable, I'd say. The scripting has gone to pot, and the only reason I keep watching is because of Sutherland. The rest just doesn't make sense.

The last episode I watched of the fifth season was number 18. After episode 16, I just thought it was just more rudiculous than ever. But things went uphill with episodes 17 and 18.

Yes, but the sad thing is that he barely appears in the fifth season, lol. We mostly see what's happening at CTU and with President Logan.

Bauer started getting more to do during the past few episodes.

The Chinese are back! A mate of mine predicted that series 5 would focus on them. His prediction seems to be have been put back a season.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 25 May 2006, 13:37

LOL, you're mate predicted the exact same thing as I did while watching the 4th season. Back then I said the 4th season would end with Jack Bauer taken to China into a prison where he'd have to escape then in the 5th season.

I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms. Need... more... 24! Preferably better written, but I'll take whatever

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 05 Jun 2006, 00:18

Day 6 will start next January.

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 05 Jun 2006, 00:23

Nooo!

That's too far away. But as long as they use that time to come up with a decent story this time round, I'll be happy.

TV's pretty much done though now, for the summer. The Sopranos ends tomorrow (for good, I believe, which is a good thing, because this last season has been a little iffy) and after that, I have nothing TV based to watch, I don't think...

Aren't they showing "Deadwood" in the UK? That Wild West series? They aren't airing it here anymore, but I got myself the DVD box.
