The funny thing is that this is like the seventh time Jack Bauer has been thriough this shit, and he takes it so seriously. And he's treated like a nobody by the FBI.

I'm waiting for him to say, "Hey, this isn't my first rodeo!"

And whatever is going on, it's a distraction from what's really going on, because that's what's happened each previous time. I would think Jack would have figured this out by now!
 
I could never get into 24. It just seems so unrealistically corny that it's not even entertaining to me. That and the fact that Jack Bauer is like Keanu Reeves.

My copy just wen up on eBay. Seller name pooponyouagain.
 
[quote name='Admiral Ackbar']It's scary to know that in the world of 24 the entire infrastructure of civilization can be brought down with what appears to be a hacked xbox.

Planes can be brought down from the sky, the water supplt poisoned, the power grid destroyed through l33t haxor skills[/quote]

Sounds kinda like Live Free or Die Hard.

I've seen all the season except 1 and 6. 2 , 3, and 4 were all excellent. 5 was shocking but I'm not sure whether the season itself was better than previous ones. Not planning to watch this season , if only because I want to watch season 6 first.

Also , how the hell is Bauer anything like Reeves?
 
House is the reason I love sunday.

If someone wants to photoshop this arcade stick art onto a template for me, I could pay a few dollars. I don't have or know how to use the program, so I'm kind of stuck. All you have to do is drop the art on the bottom layer and crop it to fit.
 
I like House, but they are all pretty predictable for the most part. It's fun to watch just to see what kind of crazy illness the people have and to watch House mentally torture everyone while he's doped up on pain meds.
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']Is S7E02 tomorrow's or is E02 considered the second hour of today's episode?[/quote]

Each hour is an episode. I had work tonight so I missed what happened. I hope I can get caught up before tomorrow.
 
I dunno but to me 24 has jumped the shark big time.

I thought 28 weeks later was contrived but I'm 1.5 hours into this new seson of 24 and it's like it's written by three year olds. It's horrible.

1) The directing trick of limiting eye contact between characters with close shots is played out.
2) It's good to see thate every office, terrorist cell, and political admninistration is run just like CTU. The FBI Even has a washed up comic as Chloe!
3) Every major infrastructuure in the US can be controlled by a hacked Xbox.
4) Airplane Captains are increadib;y stupid and effectively fly bind.
5) The FBI lady just asked Jack how far was willing to go when he nearly took out the guys eye with a pen! She's officially retarded!

I can picture the conversation.
"Dude, that's not cool."
"You said I could do what I had to?"
"I thought you were gonna rough him up a little. Work the body then the face. Not take out his eye!"

6) And speaking of this, she gives this whole diatribe about how she can control Jack and she knows he's a loose cannon. And she rolls over like a shephard. Oh yeah, she's little Miss Tough FBI Agent.
7) Of course Jack would be the only one who spots the sniper and pegs him as a fake FBI agent.
8) The FBI agent flippantly hands jack the keys after commandering the car. Showing she's...
A) a submissive character which completely goes against type.
B) Reinforces that woman can't drive. Let alone no man worth his salt will allow a woman to drive hima round.
C) Jack has to do everythign himself.
9) The Gall of the show to try to preach some ethicists message is sickening. The whole show is by it's nature contrived, so where does it get the nerve to espouse some moralist message about the war on terror when it's escapist fantasy land! That very nature makes any such assertiuon invalid. But it makes it anyway, and so seriously! And constantly. Every 15 minutes it's been, "Poor Jack, Jack's a hero, Jack had to do what he had to do." I mean, wtf!
And on, and on, and on.

I wouldn't be so annoyed if the show was just escapist fare. But it's poor escapist fare and it trys to shove a particular ethicists view down your throat.

I saw a preview for an Anime when I went to see 'Role Models' today...'Sword Of The Stranger'...looked pretty sweet...anyone seen it before?

It really was a good show, at least until the last season or so.
 
[quote name='tiredfornow']You guys should be watching Dane Cook! fuck 24! :whistle2:|[/quote]

Dane Cook sucks ass. Shouting something unfunny does not make it inherently more funny.
 
Is Burn Notice out on DVD? The few episodes I've caught have been awesome, but it seems like one of those shows you need to watch from the beginning.

But what about the onstage seizure his body language!?
 
fuck studying for this chemistry final. I really should've started earlier.

Also, according to Google Chrome "should've" is not a word. Hm.

At least tomorrow's portion of the test is multiple choice and I know most of the material so I should be good.
 
[quote name='seanr1221']Just run away, they'll forgive you eventually.[/quote]I remember what frosty said earlier and I just fast traveled somewhere then back again and it was cool.


[quote name='WhipSmartBanky']It's also effective to just hit your wait button, set it for 24 hours or so, and then go about your merry way.[/quote]Tried that earlier and it didn't work.

Thanks dudes.

I remember reading that there was one place that would always remain hostile, anyone remember what it is?

I hate you a lot.

This episode of psych has to have the strangest premise of any t.v. show ever.

Frosty, did you ever get your LL stuff sorted out? They seem to be the cheapest place for me to get my shit.

I'm sure no one really cares. Get over it.
