Can they round up Morris, Doyle, and Milo, and put a few rounds of bullets in them? Wow, are they painful characters to watch. At least they tried to tame Doyle down a bit in the last two episodes, although not much. Chloe has already proven her worth, and I can accept Nadia being on the show. But the three stooges should leave. Quietly, too.
I hope nothing happens to Audrey. At this point, she's probably the best established character left on 24, besides Jack.

So last night's episode:
Morris is insanely irritating. Go away.
Daniels making out with his aide (Lisa?) was exceptionally creepy.
Poor Audrey.
The show has picked up a little bit, but not enough.

I'd probably watch Season 6 over Season 3, if I had to choose one of the two at this point.
I liked Morris when he was Dr. House 2.0, but then he turned into Whiny Pussbag. Milo is a dope. Doyle is played by Ricky Schroder. Enough said.
I definitely like that Audrey might be a little fucked up in the head. We can take Jack being unscathed after two years in a Chinese prison, but I'm guessing Audrey was about to pull all her hair out.

... Loyal's comments make me want to become spoilerized.
Arsi, you will not forsake 24 like when you have forsaken Lost, for forsaken's sake!

anyway, ofcourse i'm gonna continue watching it. cause 24 is my date night with my friend. .. me and him ... watch 24, make fun of it, get drunk .... this seasons been the funniest show on tv like ever.

Next season spoilers
Word on the street (AKA Michael Ausellio) says that 24 producers are strongly considering setting next season in a new location/city/whatever.

I shall join Arsi in forsaking this show. This week was beyond meh. Veep Evil grinding his hot assistant (Like something out of a third-rate '40s melodrama), anything involving CTU (Morris was a cool gag at the end of last season, but an awful main character this season; Nadia taking over CTU was BS), and the trade being fumbled...ugh.
I would take any of the five previous seasons over this one (Season 3 at least had the great final stretch).
As for next season, moving to a new city would be great, especially (FINALE SPOILERS) if it involved just Jack, Chloe, and Tony fighting terrorists on their own - freelance terrorbusters!

I actually agree. The final third is possibly among the best stretches the show has had, up there with the beginning and ends of season 1 and and first few hours of season 5. Chappelle getting killed remains the most gut-wrenching thing I've ever seen. If I ever need to stop laughing I just think back to the need of that episode and stop. And the reveal a quarter of the way through about the undercover mission was possibly the best cop-out the show has done.

I really liked season 3 when I watched it, but that was three years ago, when I was impressed much easier. All I remember is the crazy twist right in the middle, Nina + Sherry dying, and the hotel fiasco. And it had Tony + Michelle, so it can't be any worse than this season... can it?

Talk about sucking the fun out of everything:
The April 9th episode of 24 on the Fox network featured several extended scenes of graphic violence that would certainly have earned the episode an “R†rating if it were a motion picture. At 9 p.m. viewers were assaulted by furious gunfire, torture, and barbaric killings which made this episode the undisputed Worst of the Week.
Violent content included a scene in which a government transport vehicle flips over and Muslim radicals unload heavy gunfire on the truck. Federal agents are shot and a vile terrorist escapes. Jack Bauer later tracks down the terrorist and engages in an extremely unrealistic one-man attack on a cell of terrorists. Using only a handgun, Jack single-handedly kills several terrorists who fire machine guns at him. Once out of ammunition, Jack simply walks up to one terrorist, who can’t seem to hit him. Jack and the terrorist engage in a long fist-fight which concludes with Jack strangling the terrorist by suspending him from the ground by a chain wrapped around his neck. The scene presents a truly gruesome spectacle.
This type of extended graphic violent content should have no place in prime-time television. In light of the tragic events at Virginia Tech, it is deplorable that young people with impressionable minds could view such programming and fantasize about the use of weaponry in such a violent manner. For this reason 24 is our pick for Worst of the Week.

Leave it to the PTC to use the Virginia Tech shootings as a reason that their opinions are right.

I hope there's some surprises in the finale.
I can't believe there are only five episodes left. Four weeks.
