24: Season 5 The Discussion

[MetDream]

It definatly wasnt the most action packed episode, but Im glad Jack finally beat the shit out of Walt Cummings lol, he had it coming.

Most definately. I wanted to beat the shit out of him myself!!!

Im still finding it hard to believe that Walt set that whole thing up so that the USA can 'benifit' from it. That does not justify the killing of Palmer.
Also, It would have been something else to see what would of happened had his plan succeeded. But that would of lead to a short season im sure....still waiting for the Chineese to intervene

I am Jack Bauer.

Well, after the excitement of the first 4 episodes, these last 2 have been a bit meh for me.

The plot has barely advanced, there's been little character development, and barely any action. I'm just hoping this is just a bit of a lull before it starts going good again, because season 4 was on track to be the best series yet until this point.

On the good side:
-Walt getting the shit beaten out of him, Jack at his best - Punching him probably more than was necessary then threatening to cut his eyes out - Nice
I believe he was just acting for his perceived good of the American people, he seems like a tool, so i can see how he was tricked.

-Logan going along with Walts plan. Ok, now this guy really does have to die, before now, he was just an idiot that couldn't make the big decisions, now, he knew what he was doing, then lied to Jack afterwards. No one lies to Jack Bauer. (that could be a sig right there )

-Jack getting betrayed (or so he thought) by Mike when he went to meet him. Unfortunately this lasted all of 1 minute Could have made for good drama later on.

-McGill getting owned by Bill Buchanan. Take that Hobbit. These hobbits are pissing me off nowadays, first that other dropkick getting to date Evangeline Lilly from Lost, and now this guy and his annoying character. Bastards!

So uh yeah, that's pretty much all I can say about these last two eps.

I'm also looking forward to the Chinese coming like we've all said already, I'm also hoping 'Mysterious Bad Guy in Front Of Computer Screens' turns out to be cool. Right now he's not.

Think back to last season and Arnold Vosloo's Habib Marwan's mysterious phonecalls. Now THERE was a bad guy

Ourighty. I watched all episodes yesterday. Beginning of the season was great. Couple longtime characters get assasinated and of course Jack had another new chick who was beginning to love him.

The first four episodes were good. There was lot of things going on, and Bauer, like always, had to deal all that shit. Jack saved the asshole kid, and now he's in two chick trap. The funniest thing though was that when everybody find out that Jack is alive, it was like 10 minutes, and they all were confortable with it.

Episodes 5 and 6 were little boring. President don't know what to do and who to believe. But Jack comes and saves the day (or hour in this matter). Bauer should be the president, kick the Logan's ass out of there.

Terrorists seem to be Russians this time. Still, Fox took it easy and introduced the Russian president first as the best friend of America who hates terrorism. Now we all can hate the Russian terrorists, and hope Bauer kills them all. Anyways, I hope to see pissed Chinese government in this season. Also it would be great if Bauer would have to leave LA and go somewhere else to deal with these terrorists, like another big city.

I only got a chance to watch the first two episodes last night. good shit though!!

[MetDream]

Oooooh things are getting interesting again!!! What is Jack going to do now that the girl shot his pigeon?

Im "concerned" for Kim. How is she going to handel yet another emotinal upheaval in her life?

And what was stolen out of the "hobbit" dude's wallet when his junkie sister's thrugs jumped him? Just how is that going to effect national security?

I hope Kim's visit is just temporary.

I bet that bad guy was terrorist and hobbit's sister doesn't know it. Maybe they use that ID card later.

[Fadingtoblack]

Yes things are getting interesting again

BTW, Jack's reaction when he was told that girl was 15, pretty similar to mine - 15!?

A few things to add to what Metdream already said:

-No more Walt Cummings. I wonder though, did he really off himself, or is there someone else who are not what they seem at the President's retreat? I think there must be, otherwise that whole location and characters have pretty much served their purpose in the story! Also the Russian PM must still be around somewhere, so he will likely come back soon.

-Re. The Hobbit's (that's pretty much his official name now ) Junkie Sister and robbery. While I guess the keycard or whatever it was could come back into this later, this whole thing just seemed like annoying character development, sort of like Erin Driscoll's wacked out daughter last season (which was just a way to get rid of her so Michelle could come back).
Also, Junkies piss me off

-Memo to Stupid Mechanic - When a crazy guy promises not to kill you, what he's trying to say is that he WILL kill you as soon as you've served your purpose. Duh...

-Re. Curtis. Curtis = cool

I hope Kim's visit is just temporary.

I don't Girl Next Door is still up there with my favourite movies of all time. Especially as you can honestly say it's a real movie if you get caught watching it.

[Phantom Lord 1782]

Seems they're kinda running out of cool ideas, hope they come up with some really cool twist soon. Curtis rules though!
