I got into 24 very casually. Only watched Season 5 (Wich, by the way, I absolutely loved) and the Last Season, the London One.

I kinda want to do it right and watch all the seasons, from the very beginning, but I'm afraid of the whole "Early Instalment Weirdness". The fact that the things I loved from it don't start to appear until later seasons.


How much of this should I actually be afraid of? Is S1-S2-S3 Bauer still as Awesome as S5 Bauer?
>>
My girlfriend hated this show
>>
>>62958669
The no.1 thing that doesn't change throughout the series is Jack constantly being a badass and doing whatever the fuck he thinks is best.
>>
>>62958708
All girlfriends hate 24. My ex didn't understand the fact Bauer shooted at civilians to make a distraction so he could get inside that embassy.

I couldn't stop laughing and shouting when Bauer started shooting at civilians and shouting "They're shooting at us!"
>>
>>62958669

S1 Bauer is a bit more mellow, but that's because he hasn't experienced a certain traumatic event yet. Post S1 Bauer is the psycho kebab removal machine we all know and love. He executes a man and cuts off his head in the first episode of S2.

In terms of the story, season 1 is more like a spy thriller. Jack himself is more like a regular guy in a difficult situation.

S1 and S2 have some retarded subplots, but the main plots are good enough to make up for it.

Jack is a bit of a crazy murderer though. I can see why someone would disagree with his actions in LAD, especially considering that Lady Droneheart was unarmed and handcuffed. He did murder her, doesn't matter whether it was justified or not.

>>62961382
No it just gets progressively worse after 5. Might as well stop there.

So from what I've heard this show is 24 episodes a season with each episode being a real-time hour that all take place right after one another right? If so how's the pacing even work through that sort of thing in terms of plot pacing and having characters move between locations?
>>
>>62961502

Yes. There are shitloads of characters, so while Jack is moving from one location to another, the show focuses on other people and other plotlines. There are moments where it's obvious that they're forcing a ridiculous/recycled plotline to fill the time (season 2 is the biggest offender), but Jack is so based that you don't really care.

The worst feeling is when a character you dislike becomes absolutely based over the course of a season and then dies tragically. Ryan Chappelle is a good example.

There is no character development for anyone but Jack. Renee was a plastic toy to be burned and make Jack angry

Anything that suffers from "so bad it's good" syndrome. I can't think of that many right now but Walking Dead is sometimes like that. And some anime

Just because they fucked Renee over in the end doesn't negate her development.
>>
>>62985067

>so bad it's good

24 is an Emmy winning show, you know. Doesn't mean it's David Chase tier, but it's pretty ridiculous to label it as guilty pleasure.
>>
>>62985070
Do you know anything about what she likes, her history outside of the mob, her family, anything at all to actually make you care about her when she died? They made her a necessary action girl when Audrey went catatonic. It would have been better if Audrey was replaced by Renee or vice versa. Felt like she was shoehorned in just to be Jack's lover.
>>
>>62985111
Lots of things considered good in the past aren't as good now. And 24 was undeniably procedural to a ridiculous degree.
>>
>>62985156

She's an idealistic FBI agent who is torn between staying by the book and engaging in morally dubious but effective practices. In season 8 she's trying to take down the Russians or die trying, seeing as after losing her job and integrity she has nothing to live for. Then Jack comes along and gives her hope, because he's the only one who can understand what she's gone through. That's all I need to know for a show that focuses on national security and takes place within 24 hours. You don't need to throw exposition at the audience to make them care about the characters, in 24 it's their actions in the present that make us care about them.

I couldn't give a fuck about what Renee's favourite color is because her actions in day 7 already made me root for her.

Reinstating Jack as an "acting agent" is probably the slipperiest slope ever.

There's a difference between switching something off and disabling it with an act of war. And you would to EMP the entire world to actually disable it since it would have to hit every server, and that's still ignoring the ones in space.

I watched up until halfway through season 7, after the white house siege it just got boring.

Really loved the series up to that point though

>Jack literally never getting a break and just having an even harder life after every season finale
>audrey being 10/10 waifu and seeing her completely broken in season 6
>based Tony starting out with having beef with Jack and eventually become best Bros

Beyond that some tropes that popped up in every season, just became a bit stale

>Giving terrorists written pardons to get them to talk
>Main bad guy promising not to kill someone if they reveal something, they get what they want, then proceed to kill them anyway
>literally no one believing in Jack when he is absolutely always correct or framed

overall, fairly enjoyable, just wish they mixed it up a bit sometimes
>>
>>62988805

>Audrey being a 10/10 waifu

All she did was get captured and collect husbands.
>>
>>62958903
That was a bit shit though tbqh. Funny, but not like Jack.

Unless you want to explain it by him going literally insane.

Even beheading Chang was out of character
>>
>kojima casts based kief as snake
>gives him 5 lines

so much wasted potential
>>
>>62989115

>beheading Cheng
>out of character

He has executed villains before, especially if they had killed someone close to him.

I think everyone considers Jack a bit mentally unstable after all that torture, psychological suffering and killing.
>>
>>62989115

>killing someone that tried to kill a close friend is out of character
>killing the man that tortured him for who knows how long and got his girl killed is out of character

UNFUCK YOURSELF
>>
>>62989249
>>62989239
>he has executed villains before
When? He always did his best to bring them in alive, and I don't recall him ever killing someone once they've been subdued. (tbf it's a long ass show that I haven't seen in a long time but I like to think I have a good recollection of most of it)

Mentally unstable would be the only explanation but I don't like how they brought it all on in this one season when he held his own fairly well throughout the other 8.
>>
>>62989370
he shot nina in like season 2 or something
>>
>>62989396
As part of an interrogation, not revenge.
>>
>>62989370

Jack in LAD is a freelancer with no allegiance to anyone but himself and his own ideals, he's not officially with any agency.

His enemies made it personal so he made it his personal mission to end their lives.

>>62989424

There was nothing to interrogate from either of them, they were scumbag killers and he was cleaning up.
>>
>>62959312
is that miranda?
>>
>>62989424

Yeah he killed nina not because she murdered his wife, of course, you've opened my eyes anon to the truth.

Jesus fucking christ how stupid are you.

>>62989583

Doesn't look like michael Jackson so no.
>>
>>62989370

>killed the Drazen brothers by shooting them until he was out of bullets
>Executed Nina in season 3
>Shot a pedo before cutting his head off in season 2
>executed Henderson
>executed Dana Walsh and went on a murderous rampage at the end of season 8

I'm sure that there are several executions I have forgotten.
>>
I remember how happy I was when I realized CTU Tactical were actually competent. Usually in films/shows like this SWAT-team types always get called in for reinforcements and you think "oh here come the big guns" but they end getting BTFO and you're left disappointed. But CTU Tactical actually portrayed themselves as the elite counter-terrorism unit they're supposed to be.
>>
>>62977867
How did she not got raped?

She was legit 11/10 back then, if you're a fucking terrorist who's already committed crimes that warrant getting shot by feds/swat or life in prison there is literally no reason not to.

I personally found 7 to be the best.
It really felt like Jack and his rag tag team was against everyone and was barely surviving.
>>
>>62957208
It's like you didn't even watch season 5.
>>
>>62989719

Whoever is responsible for their background checks should get shot though.
>>
>>62990127
How many people infiltrated the CTU over the years? I swear there's like two every single year or something.
>>
>>62990167

There's a designated mole pretty much every season. It used to be exciting during season 1, but after that it started to get really predictable. I don't think anyone was surprised that Dana Walsh turned out to be a mole in S8.
>>
>>62983094
jack blasting that bitch was the GOAT scene
>>
>>62990270
I was surprised but I'm an idiot.
>start rooting for her not to get caught when coworker gets suspicious of her
>lol she's a spy
>FUCK FUCK FUCK I hope she gets caught COME OOONN GET CAUGHT
Felt weird.
>>
>>62968451
jack has the best rampages in TV, especially the secret service tunnel and the russian embassy ones
>>
>>62990334

Jack beating the fuck out of her was so satisfying. I'm so glad they had the balls to not go with the "b-but she's a girl" thing. How many times nowadays have you seen the hero of the show just unceremoniously bashing a woman's head against a desk?
>>
>>62968213
I dunno, Jack felt completely useless at the beginning, like the show became self-conscious of itself because it really had a weird turn for being 'more' realistic.
I liked the beginning, that Jack just so happened to be in the neighborhood and got roped up in this huge international mess by complete accident. Reminds me of Die Hard 4, which I love.
Then, by the midpoint, Jack just goes on a complete fucking rampage to the point where the US and Russia are sweating their ass off trying to stop him. It's like watching this unstopable killing machine turn evil and no one being able to stop him.
And the ending was pretty good, with his final pleading secret message with the president to see it his way.

It started off bland but got really good.
S5-7-8 were probably my favorites. The early 24 isn't really that interesting to me.
>>
>>62990463
It really felt satisfying to be honest. Jack really just gives no fucks.
>>
This show is a good example where it gets progressively worse after each season. They rehash plots ad nauseam and every twist becomes contrived beyond suspension of disbelief. At one point it's just not fun anymore when Jack is just remembered as this hardass meme character who "just dosnt give fucks cuz cool lol".
>>
>>62990612
>implying Season 7 and 8 weren't good
I actually think it's the opposite. It started off somewhat bland and got progressively more insane and good.
>>
>>62990513

Agreed, I was reluctant before watching season 8, and during the first few episodes I was really bored, but after Jack met Renee again I was hooked.
>>
>>62990463
That's what I love about this show, they hold nothing back. Most shows these days are afraid to have anyone die. But 24 they'll have Jack kill completely innocent people if it means stopping a massive terror attack.
>>
>>62990689
I still somewhat think that S7 should have been the final season. Jack should have been dead by that point. But really, S8 was pretty good due to how good the latter portion became.
>>
>>62978988
That episode was the least-watched episode of the series due to a presidential speech and the episode being moved to like Sunday night. Real shame as it was such an incredible episode.
>>
>>62990763

They certainly made a good choice to stop it, people were really getting tired of it and terrorism wasn't a big thing anymore.

And if they were really smart, they'd bring it back now and continue where LAD left off.
>>
>>62990907
I also think that S7 should have been the final season because it was when the CTU was disbanded, so ending the show there would have been perfect. No more CTU, no more 24 and Jack slowly dying of radiation.
S8 letting him live was a copout.
>>
>>62991009

B-but Jack can't die
>that scene where he's scared about not making up for all the bad stuff before he died
This man has killed more than 300 people and I still want to hold and protect him.
>>
>>62989370
>not remembering him hanging that season 6 villain by a fucking chain and telling him to tell his dead brother that "Jack says hello"
>>
>>62988210
Well we all agree they got one thing right then.

>tfw palmer was a good well written character

Shame about that wife.

Everything. He was responsible for the original Mother Base being destroyed in '75, Boss getting put into a coma, working with The Majestic Owl Of The Night to make Sahelanthropus, locking his wife in an AI pod so she suffocated to death, forcing his son to test the manned controls for Sahelanthropus, setting off a radiation leak that caused a HUGE number of Mother Base staff to be infected with a mutated strain of the vocal cord parasites, forcing Boss to put them down, then letting the child soldiers and Eli/Liquid steal the repaired Sahelanthropus.

He's Gul Dukat level
