Thank God. There's always so much going on in this show that it's better to have 2 hours to let it all play out. Although, if I had it my way I'd get 4 hour blocks of the show every Sunday while the NFL is away.

Yeah, the Morris twist was freaking awesome but the twist with his Dad was just lame. It seemed like they spent too much time trying to force us to believe that Jack's dad was innocent over the period of the last episode.

24 is starting to piss me off. Totally predictable. I called Morris, I called the father, I called Morris' brother being bullshit, I called the president not obliging to Tom's crappy proposal, I called Graem dying. Everything is so obvious and has been done before. It's just recycling. I'm still gonna watch, but it's been pretty boring. /rant

1. Detonating the Nuclear Bomb in a City
2. Having Jack kill Curtis
3. Graem being Jack's Brother
4. Jack having a father
5. The Morris twist being the engineer they need
and I can't imagine what is to come since we are only at Episode 8

there are also rumors of the chinese story coming back or even possibly the russian terrorists, the storyline playing between the Vice president and the president currently could lead to something big. Also Martha Logan, Charles Logan, Audrey Raines and James Heller are expected to return this season also

He'll get more air time only to be randomly killed for no reason near the end of the season.

Yeah, it's still entertaining to me, just not as much, and I've been trying to figure out why. I know it's the writing this season, but are there different writers, or are the same ones simply running out of fresh ideas? Someone enlighten me please. I think the poster who said the writers are simply trying to create shock is partly right. But I can't help feeling there's more to it than that.

[quote name='ryanbph']the show was decent...yes it is getting a little predictable but it still is a better show then most on tv these days...comparing it to season 2 or 3 is all subjective...my brother didn't even bother finishing season 3...IMO, season 2 was pretty bad[/QUOTE]
:shock:
Are you freakin kidding me?!?! Season 2 was their second best season aside from the first season. The thing the earlier seasons had going for them is that the plots were well thought out enough so that the season was consistently interesting. On top of that you didn't have the "threat" ending 6 episodes early with 6 episodes of filler tacked on to the end like what's happened the last couple season (and what I fully expect to happen again this season). Additionally, the writers managed to keep people interested without having the outlandish commercial airliner landing on the freeway or having someone's car go off a cliff and have them magically survive.
[quote name='Scorch']It would've been an amazing twist if Jack's dad was actually a good guy and Graham was actually the evil one[/QUOTE]
You know, ironically enough, for 24 it would have been an amazing twist. Unfortunately I don't think the writers are creative enough for that so they have to go back to "hiding" the villain from Jack.

As much as I liked this show at the time, I now realize that its gone on longer than it should have. I really think the writers have just plain run out of ideas and ways to shock us. Jack's dad being the villain is a great example of this. It reminds me of when Seinfeld decided to end the show at the height of its popularity. At the time we all thought it sucked cause we wanted more but they wanted the show to go out on top and sure enough it helped make the show one of the most beloved in TV history. Everyone fondly remembers it now because it went out on top. Now look at a show like X-Files that dragged their show on forever and even had to replace main characters cause the actors got tired of the show. Despite how popular it was at the beginning, how many people have a fond memory of it at this point? Unfortunately I see 24 going the way of X-Files...

ohhh you mean the season with the cougar/mountain lion chasing kim...yeah that was really well thought out...or kim babysitting a wife beater
...the weak terrrorist threat, complete lack of tension...and last season (I am not saying the past 2 season have been great, but IMO lets not over rate season 2) the show had the threat cleared in the 23rd episode, and the 24th episode was when he went after the president and got taken by the chinese...so we aren't talking major filler for last year and I am pretty sure it was a 2 hour season finale, so it wasn't like you had to wait a week to watch a non threat involved show....season 1 was by far and away the best...season 3 was also a great show imo. But the rest of them have been very good tv, but far from great tv. I think some of those that acclaim season 2 is one of the top seasons haven't watched it in awhile.
Some people can enjoy this season and think it is top notch, doesn't mean they are wrong or right. It is everyones opinion, and not everyone share the same with some of you that are hating on this season.
I also don't get the hate about having characters die off...every season they have had members of ctu die off...some from the earlier season you wouldn't have had an emotional response to, as they weren't there long enough.

Ok, you've got me on the mountain lion thing. There's no arguing that, ever. I thought the rest of the season was interesting though. I think I may revise what I said though and go with season 3 being the second best but season 2 was definetly 3rd best IMO.
I don't have a problem with the killing off of characters but at least make it worth something. I mean if they weren't planning on having Curtis on this season throw him in with the agents that were killed in the nuke blast. It would have made the nuke more "powerful" in a storyline sense and it wouldn't have had him acting completely out of character prior to his death. Same thing goes with Tony, what point was his death really? Why didn't they just kill him off trying to save Michelle? These deaths lately are just not very well thought IMO and that's what really bugs me about them.

yes, some of the deaths have been a little weak...i thought curtis death was a holy 
moment though. I think if they had jack actually stay out of ctu for more then 5 min then maybe it would have had a bigger impact...but then again we don't know what is going to happen later on. It seems to be a theme of jack losing those close to him brought up to him this season...his brother talked about he targeted jacks friends...and you have jack killing curtis. Maybe they will have a tie in some where.

24 for this week 9.3/13 (last week 9.5/14)
heroes this week 9.6/14 (last week 9.0/13)
it is expected for hereos to dominate in the 18-49 year old demographic.
If you look at the numbers of the other shows in that timeslot...last week 2 1/2 men had an 8.2/12 and new adventures of an old christine came in at 6.4/9
This week 2 1/2 men (with special guest star brooke shields) came at at #1 in the hour with a 10.8/15. The 2nd half hour had the premiere of david spades rules of engagment with a 9.2/13. Looks like the 24 viewers jumped ship to 2 1/2 men and rules of engagement.

It's just I've now seen you complain about 24 in THREE different topics on the board tonight. It's just starting to get really old. We get it, you don't like it. Some of us still do. And it's not like you couldn't watch Heroes in multiple other ways. VCRs, DVRs, the fact that it's streamed online by NBC on their website.

There is not one show on tv that is going to perfect. Its annoying to see people complain about this show's predictability but its going on its sixth season, what do you expect? Every show in way or another gets stale after a while. We get it that you don't like how the show is becoming predictable but I still love it and you don't have to reiterate your opinion three times when once is enough.

I wasn't really complaining about it so much in the other threads so much as I was complaining that 24 was on instead of Prison Break.
My VCR quit recording and I don't have DVR. I didn't know NBC was putting their shows online now though, thanks for the info.
I don't hate the show as a whole its just I wish every episode was as good as the first one was tonight rather than the way we get a bunch of bad ones and then a good one every once in a while.

good episodes tonight. u got to hand it to mr. phillip bauer
Yes! Finally two shows I thought were as good as the season openers! As everyone probably knows, I thought the last couple of shows the writers had fallen asleep, but these tonight kicked, and kicked it hard!
And yes, Milo got some good screen time. Reminded me of Chloe in that season where
I *do* wish they hadn't telegraphed so much of next week's episode in the preview at the end, though. (OK, so I had to complain about SOMETHING!)
Looking forward to next week, and the inevitable showdown of the Bauers!

prison break is great, but the continuity of the show is horrible...they have flaws in editing in the majority of the shows..and if you want to talk about predictable, it is a 1000% more predictiable then 24...I enjoy watching prisonbreak
the first 24 was excellent tonight...they seemed to lay the groundworks for several major problems to errupt in future shows...the 2nd hour dragged a lot but it picked up a bit at the end

It isnt even close between Prison Break and 24. That's coming from a BIG fan of both.

JB: "how could i have been so stupid"
Fantastic episode, though I thought that Morris
. Totally did not expect that ending. I am a bit miffed at them focusing on
but
. I thought it'd be a huge comeback.
The way this season's going, i'm actually expecting that they'll say that
.
I also hope that
was going to off himself after taking that huge swig
the guy that's coming to kill the president
he never ended up appearing
The way this season's going, i'm actually expecting that they'll say that
when Tony was injected with whatever fluid in Season 5, it wasn't lethal, and he's come back to try to stop Jack.. after all, Jack's existance is the reason that Michelle is dead. That would be an awesome series finale, when it's all said and done.. Jack vs. Tony
I also hope that
Milo is the new field agent, he did a good job
bread's done
