I just finished the episode where Jack kills Chappelle. Pretty intense. It has been a good season so far. It is not as good as 1 and 2, but still good. My biggest complaint so far is the character of Chloe. She is just awful and annoying. The actress has got to be the worst actress on tv. She might fit in fine on Saved by the Bell, but not a drama like 24. And what the hell is up with the baby, who the hell cares that Chase has a baby. I looked it up on IMDB and saw that Chloe sticks around through seasons 4 and 5. Does she get better? I want to straggle her everytime she is on screen right now.

This has got to be the best "hook" show ever. Meaning when you finish an episode, there is always that major hook that keeps you watching. I think my wife and I watched the last 8 hours of season 2 in one sitting! Watching season 6 this winter on network tv is going to be tough.

She does get less annoying, IMO. I had the same reaction you did. I couldnt stand her. Some people love her, though.

hippie68

I didn't care for her when she first started. She has grown on me though.
I like her character now.

cdollaz

Most people like Chloe.

Charlie Goose

She's so annoying that it makes her kind of sexy in a weird way. The snotty attitude, the facial ticks, the pouting, add it all up and I get wood.

Doughboy

She's arguably one of the top 2 most popular characters on the show these days, so yeah the writing for her does improve.

boogieman03

She either gets less annoying, or you warm up to her. I don't know which happens, but it does get better.

Decker

Yeah, until she taps you with her taser, anyway.

Legolas

She's annoying as hell, but that's why they brought in Edgar Stiles -- to make Chloe look like a normal person by comparison.

Merkin Muffley

No doubt...it took a season or two to refine the character. But Chloe is now a fan favorite. The show wouldn't be the same without her.

Michael Corvin

Not during season 3. Dig up some of those threads.

I don't think it is so much everyone started liking her when the writing got better, it is more or less

Bcolon

So... tempted... to read... spoiler. Must... resist!

Bcolon

glad to hear she gets better. I will probably finish season 3 tonight and start season 4 over the weekend.

I really didn't like Chloe in Season 3, but that changed with Season 4. I think part of it had to do with the fact that

RichC2

I didn't care for her much in seasons 3 or 4, but I was a fan throughout season 5.

I could never understand why some people consider her "the worst actress." Folks - she's SUPPOSED to be annoying. That's her character. If she is succeeding at annoying you, I would say she's actually a "great actress."

I'm no doubt in the minority, but I've loved her from the beginning. There's a "Chloe" in every office, but you rarely see one on TV. I thought it was interesting to have a character like her's on the show which I could relate to. I think more people now realize she's hillarious, but I guess I always sort of got the joke.

I don't really think Chloe has changed. I think we have just fallen in love with her character..not sure.

I think the Edgar stiles interaction was a big reason we liked it?

McHawkson

That's exactly what I first thought when I first saw Chloe on 24.

I wish I could find pic from "Road Trip" where Mary (Chloe) gave the finger at Seann. It was hillarious!

Anubis2005X

She's supposed to be a biatch, but it grows on you. When someone has to start standing up to bullcrap CTU politics and she answers the call, it's great!

kitkat

That's why I love her. She's as social misfit, but she's our social misfit. Mary Lynn Rajskub is hilarious!!

Doughboy

Another reason why she became even more popular in Seasons 4 and 5 was that she and Jack became close allies in CTU. With all the backstabbing and bickering and betrayals that go on in that place, fans liked seeing someone always having Jack's back(and vice versa).

And let's not forget that image of her at 2 AM in Season 4.

RichC2

I agree, she's the most socially akward comedian I've ever seen.

What is the general consesus on the best seasons of 24? I know not everyone will agree, but, if you take Buffy for example, the general consesus (I think ) is 3, 2, 5, 1, 7, 4, 6. Right now I would rank them 1, 2, 3. Remember, I have not seen the end of 3 or seasons 4 or 5, so please remember to black out spoilers.

Breakfast with Girls

Don't do it. It's a major spoiler for season 5.

rennervision

I started watching season 1 around the time season 4 was airing on TV. I'm now up to the point where I'm watching season 5 during its summer rerun. It'll be great to finally be caught up and read threads on season 6 in "real time."

I would also like to know how others feel the previous seasons compare. I know a lot of people hold season 1 in high regards. I don't agree. I feel it's basically the same story repeated twice during the course of the day.

I thought season 2 did a better job of "rebooting" the plot so to speak.

Season 3 had some pretty outlandish moments that make it hard for me to suspend my disbelief. Jack sure does a lot of psycho things that I assume we are supposed to accept because the end justifies the means - but I think in reality he would have ended up in prison.

Season 4 has been my least favorite. It was all over the place with huge plotholes, lazy writing, and a terrorist plot so multilayered I guess I'm supposed to believe they had a plan A, B, C, D, E, and F! I will say the season does pick up, however, and pretty much redeems itself toward the end.

So I guess, for me, it would be, from best to least favorite: 2, 3, 1, and 4. I'm also absolutely loving what I've seen so far of 5.

Take my opinion for what it's worth. You ranked Buffy season 7 above 4 and 6. I absolutely HATE season 7 and consider all the other ones far superior to it.
