Title: 24: Redemption Post by: ahoythematey on November 23, 2008, 12:01:20 PM So.
Any wagers on the time from start of show to the Bauer-torture-hour? My guess is 40 minutes in, give or take 3. Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: Abagadro on November 23, 2008, 12:09:14 PM I gave up on 24 midway through last season.
Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: ahoythematey on November 23, 2008, 12:35:58 PM Probably was a good idea.
Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: ahoythematey on November 23, 2008, 05:48:40 PM Damn I was close.
Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: NiX on November 23, 2008, 05:58:28 PM Damn I was close. Told my roomie about your prediction and he was impressed with your guess.Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: Triforcer on November 26, 2008, 06:37:11 AM God, that was great. The portrayal of the UN relief worker (complete with very slight European accent) was pure gold. The embassy guy was great too. I can only imagine what the NEW vice president looks like! He probably has a gigantic cape and handlebar mustache.

God, why are they bringing back Almeida? This is a stretch even for 24. Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: Triforcer on November 26, 2008, 06:43:08 AM You forgot the monocle. God, why are they bringing back Almeida? This is a stretch even for 24. I heard that in season 8, the government opens a portal to hell in a government experiment gone wrong, and Jack fights Satan on his throne. EDIT: I just thought of something cooler. Jack will testify and America will fall in love with him and his torture4freedom, and by season 8 (9 at latest) he'll be president himself. Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: ahoythematey on November 26, 2008, 06:48:19 AM Is that before or after he becomes Palmer Eldritch?
Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: shiznitz on November 28, 2008, 10:13:46 AM My wife and I skipped the last season (we wait for Netflix so we can slam all the episodes together and the reviews kept us away) and this got us interested again. So it did what it was supposed to.
Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: Tale on November 28, 2008, 12:02:41 PM I determinedly watched the last season - I hated the first 2/3, but then it did one of those flips towards the end where it turns out there's actually a higher level to the story, with a bigger evil than the one you thought he was fighting. And then I started to enjoy it. Damned if I can remember anything about it though :) Wikipedia episode guide here I come.
Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: ahoythematey on November 28, 2008, 01:18:44 PM That's almost every season of 24. Also, episode four of last season was quite possibly one of the most intense episodes in the entire series.
Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: Tale on November 28, 2008, 02:19:36 PM Ah it was the Chinese villains - and Audrey coming back from the dead. She's all fucked up by Chinese interrogation/brainwashing and is a mental basket case, left in the care of her military father by Jack. Which is how he became a lost soul wandering the world and getting into trouble in Africa ...
Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: ahoythematey on November 29, 2008, 12:46:37 PM Mark my words, Audrey will come back again. If they are bringing Almeida back, they'll bring her back. Jesus christ.
Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: Nevermore on November 29, 2008, 01:56:01 PM They should bring back Teri Bauer as the true behind-the-scenes mastermind villain! :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: 24: Redemption Post by: ahoythematey on November 29, 2008, 03:01:59 PM They should bring back George Mason as an actual, honest-to-god zombie due to the combination of having radiation sickness and being at the center of a nuclear explosion. Watch as Jack Bauer and crew try to find a method of torture that actually works on zombies. They could even bring back Kim for a useless subplot of how she's in love with a zombie.
