Re: Twenty Four (24) -- "12:00pm to 1:00pm" -- 05/10/10
I'm glad some people around here (if not all of you guys) seem to be enjoying it, but IMO they have RUINED Jack Bauer in the last few episodes. I love Badass Jack as much as anyone, but now he's just an out of control murderer.
It sucks - I was really looking forward to the idea of a 24 movie after the series, but they've completely destroyed the character of Jack Bauer, so now I could practically care less. I mean it makes sense for him to go balls to the wall to SAVE LIVES but this is just for revenge and the worst kind of 'justice' I've ever heard of. Yes the president is now corrupt, yes the Russians are dicks and should be held accountable, but for a guy who used to live by the motto "the end justifies the means" it is more than a little hypocritical for Jack to be crusading to expose the 'truth' of this conspiracy... Of course Logan needs to be held accountable for what he did, but who the fuck is Jack to deliver the sentence? Same goes for when he killed Dana.
If anything, the series should end with Jack gone full rogue and on the run - the 24 movie featuring him as the villain, because that's what he is to me now. What a joke.

So do we think the 24 movie will be PG-13 or rated R.
I'm guessing PG-13 so they could get more teens in to see it, but after that brutally violent scene on Monday night, maybe they will go with an R.

PG-13 would ensure that we'd finally get another F-Bomb from Jack.
It's been too long since, "I can find my own fucking job, Erin."

100% PG-13. There are plenty of good action movies that get that rating.

with how violent this show gets, there's no way in hell this show would get a PG-13. also most PG-13 movies are mostly blood free. they couldn't get away with Renee cutting the dudes arm off, Hassan's crime scene, and the torture scene on monday in a pg-13 enviorment
and this never gets old

would have been nice of they introduced Michael Madsen's character in a previous season, even in a very small way... would make his involvment now seem a little less "convenient".
although it would be awesome if the movie had Jack, Tony, and Madsen has a kick ass trio of asswhoopin' badassery.

With the way last season ended, I'm very surprised Tony hasn't resurfaced yet. Is there a backstory to this--did Carlos Bernard have other things going on, or was it just a decision by the show-runners to go in a different direction?

I thought he was filming (not just Burn Notice), so he wasn't available.
Ah.. here's his quote back in Nov..

I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but you guys all realize that Jack's actions in the last few shows put him in almost the EXACT same situation Tony was in last season. In other words, Jack has turned into what Tony has/had already become.
I don't know if that's the writers setting up something for the movie or not, but I find it interesting.

Ok, so I'm caught up. Yeah that was definitely quite a contrast to the first half of the season 
And no they havne't ruined Jack. He has been ruined since he brutally executed Chapelle - even if that wasn't voluntarily.
At this point I just enjoy him being bad ass.

Exactly. Have we forgotten "I'm gonna need a hacksaw..." back from Season 2? Or heck, when he shoots George Mason with a tranq in the first or second episode of the whole show?

Wow! I'm impressed. You actually went on a 12 episode marathon the last few days.
