24 - Best Programme Ever

I've noticed a thread for Lost and thought I would start one for 24. To me, it's been one of the best programmes on telly for years and continues to innovate with it's storylines.

I'm currently up to Episode 14 of Season 5 - currently those  only watching on Sky One will be up to Episode 8 so I won't reveal any spoilers - yet.

Anyone else follow it?  ???

I've seen every episode of it up until Episode 4 of Series 5.

Tomorrow, I will watch Episode 5, 6 and 7, then I will download the rest fom there.

It is simply the best television programme that has ever been invented.  Series 1 for me was the best, even though then other series are fantastic as well, but Series 1, for me, was simply unbelievable.

Some time in the future I might go back and watch Series 1 again with hindsight because I know the plot twists and it would be interesting to view them again, knowing what I know now.  I'm dying to point out to people just how much better your life will be if you watch this programme.

Having said that, Episode 1 of Season 5 was incredible.  Just when you thought the plot twists couldn't get more shocking, they throw that at you!!!!!

Jonny lad, that is something I said straight away! Just when you thought you knew the series, it throws something like that and bumps off so many people (i'm a bit cautious to say who, why, where and when as it could spoil it for newbies)in such a short space of time!!

I have to say Season 3 was awesome (the Salazars, Chase) and, so far, this Season is on a par. Episode 13 of this season is the best episode of the whole series IMO and i've had this backed up by other 24 loving people. Please catch up, you're missing some quality moments!  :buttrock

Just be careful talking about this show -can be spoilt so easily.

Nina Myers has to be my favourite character.  I'm not saying any more in case people read why she is my favourite character, I don't want to spoil anything for anyone.

That's the only downfall about this thread - the spoiler! It's so easy to give something away, it's almost as if you would need to set up 5 threads for each Season so it doesn't ruin it for anyone!

I've always thought Palmer is ace and his relationship with Jack brilliant. I'm really starting to take to Curtis as well, he's straight down the line and thinks a lot like Jack as well.

Jonny, have you had the pleasure of seing Samwise Gamgee yet on 24?

Oh yeah, I like him up to now, he's very straight and to the point.  Gets the job done and doesn't care for anything except the job.  Very focussed.

No doubt the way this show runs, he'll be the main terrorist in a sensational plot twist!!!! :laugh:

Yeah, Nina is a very, very attractive lady.  :hearts

She's married to co-star Xander Berkeley un real life who plays Mason.  He's also John Connor's step-dad in Terminator 2, quite famously was killed by the T-1000's arm while drinking a carton of milk.

Mason - hard a$$ bloke (again, can't go into full details or opinions!).

Funny you should say the Terminator - you will soon see another actor make an appearance in this season from that sort of film and era!  :D

24 is brilliant, gripping TV.  I have downloaded 24.S05.E14 but haven't had a chance to watch it - must get a chance before I download E15 on Tuesday!

Just watched it Hawk mate - not as good as episode 13 (although, that will be damn hard to beat), but typical plot twist at the end!
