TWENTY-FOUR

Answering some such questions can be spoilers....

Jack’s daughter Kim may have been a stupid character, especially in later seasons, but she made the show more watchable.
I’d like to see her return with better dialog, maybe as either a beach lifeguard or lingerie model in the rain if it’s essential to the plot.

heh...
You have succinctly captured Kim's one valuable asset to the program (actually two)

[Savage Beast]

Those people need a strictly inforced ban on nepotism.

If it were not for Chloe, I wouldn't come out from under the bed.

With the way this season is going, we might all (fortunately) get your wish!

We love 24 too but please forgive me if we make fun of it at times. In our house we call it the line #2 syndrome. It could be called the dumbing down of America. Here is an example where line #2 isn’t needed. Line #1 “ The have a nuclear weapon.” Line #2 “Which can blow up a whole city.” When they add the line #2 syndrome to the show it is very hard not to mock.

LOL!

[Pravious]

Yeah... what IS wrong with this season? Did they hand it over to the guys who made season two of “Lost” or something? How does a show go from its best season ever to the worst? Are the people who make the show even aware of this, and, if so, is there any signs they plan to do anything about it?

It’s my favorite TV show (in fact, just about the only thing I watch that’s broadcast), and I hate to see it... boring! ;-<

[Cincinatus]

Good and enjoyable show, but one thing I hate is that they make all the great looking women either vilains (e.g., Nina Meyers) or kill them off (e.g., Michelle Dessler), so they’re not around very long.

[JoeGar]

In Season 3, Jack Bauer takes his girlfriend’s virginity — then he puts it back!

[7thson]

I didn't think Nina Meyers was good looking at all. In Fact, I thought she was freaky looking, as was Jack's wife and just about all the rest of the women in the first season.

I don't know how it's gonig to play out, but in season 2, Nina tells Jadk she had to kill his wife because she was going to drop a dime on her. In fact, that was another lie from Nina because she had Terri tied up. All she had to do was put duct tape on her mouth and split. I felt she killed her in an effort to spite Jack.

Is Jack going to die this year and be replaced by Rick Schroeder?

Can anyone guess?

[7thson]

Another good one! 8-)

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

This season isn’t down from prior seasons. I do wonder how many times the VP will try to replace the President via the 25th Amendment?
I think one problem that this show may have is that it may run out of plots. How many times can you have a VP trying to unseat the President? How many times can you have terrorist trying to nuke the USA, or gas us all?
Jack’s role this year is more complex, since he has been through so much in the past. At some point, they many need to kill him off and replace him with someone like Schroeder.

[Williams]

"How many times can you have terrorist trying to nuke the USA, or gas us all?"

Ask the terrorists.

[Pravious]

I’ve gotta disagree. I’ve seen nothing but recycled plot-lines. Almost the entire supporting cast has been knocked off, and I can’t relate to the new guys (does anybody here really care about Morris?). The plot no longer revolves around Jack. In every other season, there have been innocents sucked into the plot (for us to identify with), and in every other season, Jack has had personal issues to work out. Here? He’s Rambo - nothing more, nothing less.

Another problem, I’m beginning to realize, is screen time. Jack’s not in the show more than he IS in it - I think he had three scenes in the last episode. Indeed, last week Chloe was strangely absent for the first 45 minutes as well... what, was she locked in the C.T.U. bathroom?

I don’t think they’re at all out of plots - the specific bunch doing this season seem to be, but that doesn’t mean the show is.

Hey, hands up... how many people would have preferred an entire season of Jack trying to get out of China?

[secret garden]

This is probably better suited to the chat section than news. Just some friendly advice. :-)

[carton253]

That's what I expected to see.

This season to pick up at the minute the last one ended.

[LimaLimaMikeFoxtrot]

24 is my favorite network show these days. Hope it doesn't spiral down to complete goofiness like my previous fave 'Alias' did.

Still, a fun thing to do during 24 is to bet on how long it takes for Bauer to utter this line: "We're running out of TIME". Finishing in 2nd place is: "...Or I WILL kill you".
