Have to agree with people who say that this season is going down.

Really sucks....always the same, always Deja Vu's

What's up with the shit to need 20 minutes to figure the frequency of the chopper just to be 10 seconds to late........which was oh so surprising........

The tension is gone, just leaves me to hope that the Bauer's are going to be annihilated this season for bringing some twists and changes back into 24.

I really loved the twists in season one where mostly never happened what I expected.......right now it's always the same, standard hollywood BS.

*yawn*

Quapil, have to agree that it's getting a little too formulaic for my liking. Small red herring followed by conspiracy.

Still, it's one of the more entertaining formulaic shows around...

@samuelowens: True, which makes it even more sad IMHO :(

I think after 2 full seasons of the current formula, it's difficult for them to find ways to maintain the "tension" in any way that doesn't feel silly.

Could somebody please bitch-slap Chloe?

I just think they are copying WAY too much from previous seasons. It's like the writers don't even want to attempt to be original.

We saw the jail break in season 1.

Palmer's situations seem straight out of both seasons.

We saw the possibility and follow through of Jack being shot down last season.

We've seen a mole in CTU.

We've seen Kim in too many dire situations.

A while ago I read that they're trying to put the best parts of Season 1 and Season 2 into the third Season.

Seems like they're doing exactly this and nothing else......they should've called it the 24 Remix Season :)

Quapil's post reminded me of earlier discussions regarding questions about seasons one's storyline that were really never answered. Of course, there's season two's cliffhanger that has not been addressed thoroughly. Now during this episode—and on more than one occasion—they conveniently remind us that apprehending Salazar is of utmost importance since he has ties to terrorist groups. Is it at all possible that the "bad guys" from both prior seasons are still lingering in the background? Was the true target of those seasons Senator/President Palmer and is he still?

Anyway, back to the current timeline—I'm still having trouble believing that the Salazars masterminded a plan where they used a teenage boy as a decoy. With the number of possibilities for a carrier, how did they know that CTU would properly identify Kyle Singer. If there's another carrier, who's monitoring his/her movements? Also, how did they know that Ramon would be released (directly/indirectly) by the time Singer was taken into custody (which I'm sure they should have anticipated)?

Actually, the way I understand it, Chase was the one who made the call to stand down when talking to the warden. However, the choppers were the direct result of orders from CTU, in this case, Chappelle.

Actually, I've been thinking that her discomfort lies with Ramon. How many times has she suggested to Hector that he abandon Ramon? Even upon Ramon's return, she has made it clear that Hector shouldn't have to play second fiddle to him.

actually, i think the big twist is gonna be and also, there is a casting announcement for a returning character in this weeks tv guide

Perhaps Hector is in love with Jack?

In the universe of 24, you just never know.

The only way to save it at this time is to :
1-Kill Kim
or
1- Full frontal of Kim

and 2
Actually release the virus in LA killing thousands.

As it stands, I watch it because I started and will watch it until the end, but it is too easily predictable and they are milking everything, why cant they contact Jack with 5 minutes to go instead of late EVERY F***ING TIME!

I think I like mininuts butterball's idea better. Think about it for a few hours: Kim and Michelle making out while in nothing but their thongs...in high definition!http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/sex.gif

with Elisha's new movie coming out, i don't see the lesbo situation as not a bad idea.

Kim Bauer's relentless idiocy has dulled even Cuthbert's appeal for me.

In truth, she's not really my type. That kind of guileless, soft, fuzzy blonde gets too much attention in America. (Sort of a junior version of Elisabeth Rohm.) She's like Snuggles the Fabric Softner Bear w/ big jugs.


And no, I'm not gay, so don't go there.

Every time I watch those scenes with Hector and his wife, I think maybe someone changed the channel on me and I'm watching a Mexican soap opera, only in English.

It's really too bad about Kyle Singer. I was really looking forward to his painful death instead I had to watch even more painful acting.

The show is still fun for me even though I agree its not up to par with previous seasons. There's a certain goofiness about it that is really entertaining. It's always fun when Jack says to someone "You'll just have to trust me!!" I think he said that half a dozen times last year. I start imagining all kinds of ridiculous scenarios he might put people through. "Take off your pants and put these clown shoes on! Listen, there's no time. You'll just have to trust me!"

:lol: I can almost see Palmer doing it. "You've done so much for the country, Jack..."

Another casting announcement read in the USA Today today (ha!)

rotfl rotfl rotfl

BTW - Is Buck Turgidson gay or something? Just wondering. ;)

I haven't noticed are they cueing the spanish guitars when they do the Mexico scenes?

What I have noticed is the cliche approach of overlit cameras/sets for all the scenes in Mexico. Like the director went to see the film Traffic a few to many times. So lame!

Just like the blue hue nonsense they are compelled to do in the CTI control room ... we wondered when you would be joining us Mr. Bond ...
