  1. I really liked it.  But, two things were really silly. 

     

    The guy who was nervous in training and on the mission.  An important mission like this and you're taking a guy who looks like he needs to bagging groceries at your local supermarket.

     

    And the scientist going out to save the soldier.  Sorry, but she's too important to risk her life over one guy. 

  2. Amen to that! Enough with the bringing in of the suspects. Out the window I say!

     

    Glad Jack did away with the cliched speech before doing away with Margot.  Hi Margot, bye Margot, enjoy the flight.  Probably won't enjoy that landing thought.

  3.  

     

    I am digging this much shorter season, I have no idea when or how they will do the time jump and hope to remain unspoiled. I am super glad this isn't taking place in LA so I don't have to yell about it being impossible to go from point A to B in the time they do. I'm all for suspending reality but the rules of LA rush hour traffic are rules of the universe. Even Jack Bauer can't control them.

    You don't know Jack.  :)

  4. Favorite part of the episode: Jack digging out the transponder from Heller's arm...and then closing the gaping wound with a Band-Aid.

    It was just a flesh wound.

     

     

    I've not watched 24 before this version, but I am hooked.  Even with its flaws, it is still has some very suspenseful moments.  

    Wow, it's great to see Jack and 24 again and I'm enjoying it, but this season doesn't compare to many of the earlier seasons.  I highly recommend going back and watching from Season 1.  You'll be hooked and unlike most of us, you won't have to wait a week to see how the cliffhanger(s) come out.

     

    Truly one of the great actions shows of alltime.

    Since The 4400 is pretty much the only show that has handled super powers decently.

    Buffy did.

    Yeah, having your series where your characters are on the run aren't really sustainable as a long running series.

    Nope, the Fugitive, Kung Fu and Heroes did a really good job.  I'm sure there are others.

    I liked that we got a final ep, unlike so many shows that one gets invested in, they are just cancelled and we never know what happened and we just wasted 5-10 hours of our life with no conclusion.

     

    I liked Believe for the two co-stars, but the plots were cliched and nothing that we haven't seen before. 

  6. NBC has Hannibal, so they have that going for them.

     

    And, really, Dexter for an example of good writing?

     

    Maybe the early seasons. But all that sticks in my mind now is the latter seasons.

    Dexter is one of the greatest shows ever.  Nothing ever really like it.  The early seasons were better, but the later seasons still better than most things on TV today.

  7. A mole and torture. It's officially 24 again.

    And it was just so deliciously awful.   Only 24 can do it like that.  Yes.

    Wow, this episode had so many twists and turns, I got whiplash!   A veritable smorgasbord of how to fuck up a plan... any plan.  Let's see, there's Chief of Staff getting caught in his forgery, CIA station chief unable to deflect gung-ho geek, reverse knock-out drug, sister & kid not "cooperating," and best of all, MI5 botching everything.  What fun!

    ..and don't forget knife in the chest and bus vs. girl.  It didn't end well. 

  8. I saw the car disappear too, but that was a cliche seen so many times, but why do people stop when cars gets behind them and in front of them. Ram them, but in this one, there was enough room to try and manuever around them or back up. 

     

    The show for me has only been about Bo and Tate.  I like their relationship, but everything else we've seen before.  Nothing really compelling, just stuff happening. 

     

    And most of the audience agreed.  They watched the pilot and then tuned out. 

     

    I could have told the producers of this show that it was dead after the second episode.  How come they don't see this?  And don't they watch great shows like Dexter, Walking Dead and Breaking Bad and see how great shows are written.

     

    NBC seems like the warehouse for bad writing.
