Day Two Re-Viewing Reviewing

Hour 22: David Palmer calls up "Saturday Night Live" and sees if he can be a part of the animated "X-Presidents" frequently seen on the TV Funhouse. Jack and Sherry share some scenes together, and we all smell the sexual tension.

Hour 23: Jack starts showing signs of heart problems, but doesn't let them get him bogged down. I honestly think Jack could die, and still do his job as a zombie.

Hour 24: Tobin Bell is declared the best villain ever, from "Saw" to "Saw II" to "24". Even though his time on "24" is minimal and he's probably the weakest of all the villains, he still kicks ass. But, Jack still ends up taking down his army. Palmer shakes one too many hands, and takes a fall. Silent clock number three.

Day Three Re-Viewing Reviewing

Hour 1: You know why Season 3 sucks? Chase. He adds something to the show that the show just doesn't need: a boyfriend for Kim, a hassle for Jack, and unnecessary dialogue. He says the dumbest things. Jack's anger makes this a weaker year for our hero, and while the struggle with his heroin addiction is compelling, it takes away from the strength of his character. He fights back taking some drugs at the end, but beats his hands on the desk instead.

Hour 2: Some boring stuff involving a kid named Kyle. Some boring stuff from the president and his bro. Another mole in CTU. Now I know why Season 3 was the weakest season.

Hour 3: Tony gets a bullet to the neck. Miraculously, he'll be up and running in just four hours like a true pro. Jack will be proud.

Hour 4: Shit happens.

Hour 5: Jack and Ramon get to play Russian Roulette, which results in a few deaths during a prison riot. Seems pretty tame compared to the riot this season on "Prison Break".

Hour 6: Even inside of CTU, WORKING at CTU, Kim manages to find trouble and get herself firmly in the middle of it.

Hour 7: Jack gets taken hostage by Ramon and taken to Mexico. Tony stumbles back into CTU, with one band-aid and a mean scowl. The men of "24" are made of steel. STEEL, I say!!

:lol: :lol:


Agent Almeida is the master of whispery speech.. ;)


After hearing prior to seeing it that Season 3 was the worst, The One enjoyed it to a surprising degree... it did lack the energy of all the other seasons though, and the "look" was really washed out compared to the glorious colours of the other seasons ;) Oh yeah..killing off the best femal character isn't a good idea, especially since they didn't follow-up on her employers, which was most dissappointing..


Also: what happened to the man who we saw a few times on a boat giving orders? he hasn't popped up since? He was the captain in King Kong as well wasn't he?

Day Three Re-Viewing Reviewing

Hour 8: Jack pulls the trigger on Chase, but the gun is empty. I say he should have just beat Chase to death with the gun. Pistol whip him straight to hell!

Hour 9: Oh my God! Nina returns and is hotter than ever. And by hot, I mean scary. Very scary. Smokin' scary.

Hour 10: Claudia takes a bullet, Sherry returns, and Jack is still undercover with the Salazars. Business as usual with Bauer and Co.

Hour 11: Ramon shoots Hector. Bang bang! Don't trust a man named Salazar. Sounds like salamander.

Hour 12: Ramon gets exploded. That raspy voice was such a turn-on! I'll miss him.

Hour 13: You know how "Ferragamo" was the death word for Season 1, and "Cyprus" was the word for Season 2? This year, it's "Milliken". Thank God he bites the dust this hour, even though he's mentioned for the rest of the season.

Hour 14: Badass Bauer blasts a few rounds in Nina, thus killing off 24's best villain ever. And the smokin' scariest!

Hour 15: Michelle and Gael find the infected area: Chandler Plaza Hotel. Gael gets a face-full of deadly virus during the closing seconds, ensuring his death amongst others in the coming hours.

Hour 16: You know, Michelle is sort of hot. Kind of. I don't know what it is about her. Since Kim has the worst hair of the season, maybe her hotness level is down a bit, so I'm looking at Michelle a bit differently. So... yeah.

Day Three Re-Viewing Reviewing

Hour 17: Some chick gets naked in front of Jack. Trust me, it's more innocent than it sounds, but not really. Gael bites the dust (he's too weak to kick the bucket).

Hour 18: Funny how they can make the most unlikeable character completely likeable in one show. Ryan Chappelle shows he would do what most of us would do in the situation. Ultimately, Jack puts a bullet in his head, and we get the fourth silent clock ever. The other three were Teri's death, George leaving CTU for the last time, and Palmer's hand incident at the end of Season 2.

Hour 19: Kim is in harm's way again. Oh Kim.

Hour 20: Michelle beats the odds and is immune to the virus. The writers make up for it by getting Saunders to kidnap her. Darn that Saunders!!

Hour 21: Sherry's back, and we have no idea who's she working for.

Hour 22: In the closing minutes, Saunders is captured, and we wonder what can happen for the remaining two hours.

Hour 23: Julia comes back to kill Sherry, then kill herself. Well... that solves a few problems!

Hour 24: Saunders gets gunned down by Gael's wife in the first ten minutes. Chase loses his hand over the virus, while Jack has a big cry at the end. Jesus, don't scare us like that, Jack!!

Day Four Re-Viewing Reviewing

Day Four Prequel (found on Season 3 DVD): The only purpose of this is to hear Jack say "I can find my own fucking job." because we really don't need to know the rest. It's all laid out in Season 4.

Hour One: You know, it may be the lack of Michelle and Kim. Or Audrey's misshapen nose. Or the oldness factor of Dina and Erin Driscoll. But Chloe suddenly looks more attractive... I was willing to accept Michelle, but not Chloe.

Hour Two: Hmm... Behrooz is pretty cool... but the name "Behrooz" might be joining "Ferragamo", "Cyprus audio" and "Milliken" very soon.

Ah. The beauty of 24. While I personally thought Saunders was dispatched rather unspectacularly, the fact that it was Gael's wife, who seemingly was just a grieving, background character, who did it was awfully cool.

Same goes with the chick (Elizabeth?) who slept/slashed Drazen's son. I thought she was a goner!

Pfft, amateur. I watched all four seasons! Well. I'm on Day Four right now. I might tape "24" and not stop watching Day Four until I'm done, then watch the premiere episode for Season 5 and... yeah.
