24

[MrFrost]

Wondered if anyone on here follows this programme religiously, as I do?

[keyser_soze]

DAMMIT CHLOE!

[MrFrost]

Finale next week. Gutted.

[GM-MarkB]

It's one of only 2 shows (the X-Files being the other) that I have bought the box sets of each series.

I will miss it when it's gone that's for sure.

[MrFrost]

Ditto. I was a massive X Files fan also, although they ruined it all for me with the shambolic second film.
I hope that if 24 makes its way to the big screen they will do it justice.

[GM-MarkB]

But the point of 24 is that it happens in 'real time'...how they supposed to do that in a film which will be 2 hours or there abouts ? How can they have a 2 hour crisis ?

[MrFrost]

They did the one of 24 Redemption which was 2 hours in real time.
The move has been greenlit from what I can gather, and a script wrote, and they've said it will take place over 24 hours but cut down to fit into 2.5 hours.
Must admit though, I thought this season was garbage until the point where Hassan was killed. After that it has become by far the best yet.

I watched the first 2 series but his daughter drove me insane. Die bitch!!  :dry:

[DonnyNoel]

Watched 1-6 + Redemption but then had to get rid of Sky. Got season 7 on box set for Xmas but haven't watched it yet. By the time I do hopefully #8 will be out at a reduced price!

Have to admit I've loved a lot of US Series over the last few years - 24, Dexter, Band of Brothers, Simpsons.

[GM-MarkB]

I'm currently enjoying Stargate Universe. It's been pretty good so far.

It's the final Ashes to Ashes on Friday night too. And Lost finishes next Friday as well, although I haven't really gotten into it over the time it's  been on.

Series 7 is good, but it leaves alot unanswered, which haven't been answered in the final season. They must be waiting for the film or the finale next week.

Alot of people I know gave up with season 8 after the first 7 or 8 episodes, because it is very boring, but don't stop watching, it gets immense!

Thanks, will do.

I actually downloaded eps 1-6 of series 7 but gave up on it as couldn't get into it and despite the change of setting and involving the FBI I still found it a bit \"samey\" to some of the earlier stuff:

\"Oh he's a loose cannon\"
\"Yeh but he gets the job done\"
\"True but he is a loose cannon\"
\"Yeh but he gets the job done\"

But then I suppose thats due to the fact there were lots of new characters to introduce to Jack whereas the earlier characters - Chloe, Bill, Tony, Michelle, Curtis, Palmer all knew him well.

Maybe now I've got the box set and can watch it over a shorter period of time I'll get into it.

They're all good but I liked series 3, it was real fast paced stuff from the start - almost like an old computer game that as he killed a \"boss\" he progressed to another level to find an even more dangerous enemy!

[keyser_soze]

I'm gutted, 24, Heroes, Lost, and Flash Forward all on their last seasons, dunno what i'm gonna watch next!

Season 7 has a good twist at the end which explains everything from seasons 5 and 6 and who really was behind Palmers assasination etc, and what Tony is really up to.

Some of the new episodes in season 8 are like scene's from a Saw film. Its fair to say Jack goes on a bit of a rampage like never before.

[GM-MarkB]

To be honest, i'm expecting Tony to reappear somewhere along the line

[MrFrost]

How much of Season 7 did you see?

[GM-MarkB]

Who me ? All of it ? Why ?

[MrFrost]

Sorry, I got confused.
I think Tony will be in the film. Cant see him re-appearing in the last episode when it hasn't mentioned him all season, although it would be nice.

[GM-MarkB]

So.....

Lost.....

Anyone care to explain to me what that was all about  




Also.....Charles Logan, looks like your time is up Son  B)

[MrFrost]

Never got into Lost so can't comment.
Who'll be watching the 24 finale on the net tomorrow? Or will you wait 2 weeks for it to show on Sky?

[GM-MarkB]

Bye Jack  

[MrFrost]

I said goodbye to him a couple of weeks ago.
I'll look forward to the film though.
