Re: Season 8
yet another crappy episode... although, at least we didnt see much of The Hunchback of Hastings!
Agreed.
Dana's storyline sucks, Jack is a wimp, Renee is desperately trying to become like the old Jack (maybe they want a solid replacement in case Kiefer doesn't sign and Jack dies at the end of season 8? ), Hassan's storyline is boring and it reminds me a lot of the Logan's (prior to Charles's betrayal). Oh, and the warehouse diversion could be seen from a mile away.

Re: Season 8
How much character development can the writers believably reveal in a 24 hour time period? 24 is supposed to be about Action Jackson! Jack isn't this drug addicted, tortured soul anymore, (who somehow recovered from radiation poisoning?), but a timid grandfather now, and his scenes have little sense of urgency. Actionless Jacksonless! Also, Tony Almaeda was super awesome and he's gone, and I don't like the President or the Starbuck subplot. Renee is cool though, just totally bottomed out and committed to the cause.
Way better than Heroes though, that show is just worthless now!
I agree.. what has happened to this show?
And I've got 5 unwatched episodes of heroes.. just haven't been bored enough to watch them...
Re: Season 8
The problem with 24 is that it reached its peak at season 2. Since then it tries to hold up the level of awesomeness, but can only fail. But still - 24 is waaay more entertaining and action packed then any other crime solving drama show I've ever seen. The character development of Jack is believable and well scripted. He can't do what he did in season 1 and 2 the same way in every season - that would be boring. So he needs Renee as a wingwoman
Re: Season 8
Agreed paisley1. There's always time for improvement and maybe we see Hunchback replaced by Jack, with Renee as super Agent running the floor. I still would favour Renee over Tony. She's young and needs to get out of the dark place and reach character stability. She has a lot baggage in her past which could turn into nice plots.
Re: Season 8
Agreed - Alias action would be fun. Jennifer Garner instead of Annie Wersching would be just slightly better. Renee is doing just fine
Chloe is a strange character - totaly annoying but she is a must on 24. I like her way with dealing people. Mary Lynn Rajskub does a great job playing her.
I would like to see a Sloane character from Alias on 24. Most preferable payed by Ron Rifkin of course. He was just this evil self absorbed bad guy - teriffic - just the opposite like Saul he plays on Brothers & Sisters

Re: Season 8
24 is getting worse every week. The new episode was boooring for most part, Dana's storyline was supposed to add some drama (???) and it still sucked, Hastings is still an idiot and the final cliffhanger was dumb (how would the Russians find the sewer route so quickly since this is not their territory?). Oh, and I was hoping for a kiss... DAMN IT!
Re: Season 8
Indeed - the russian plot is the only interesting. I like the fact that the russian boss is played by a German actor and Jack spoke (not understandable) German. Maybe we see some more German badass this season
The Dana plot is so stupid it hurts to watch it - what a waste of the Starbuck awesomeness potential
We can only hope that the two lame cons get killed soon and Danas secret is really important to a new story line.
The political plot is really weak - it started ok but it kinda stalled and is now just boring.
Jack was fun - I loled hard when...
hilarious

Re: Season 8
Jack's belly is pure mithril, only an Excalibur could hurt him.
Is that not to different stories?
And about the episode... So Jack was right about Renee! What a shocker! Jack was actually right about something.... again...
