I'm somewhat reluctant to watch this season -- last season was a big letdown and the incessant twists are getting over the top. But I'll watch at least the first four episodes.

If you can only watch one show on Sunday, I'd turn to HBO and watch Rome instead.

HBO always has more than one showing, so Rome will repeat 3 or 4 times this coming week. I guess that means I'll watch 24and catch Rome later on. I don't want to miss either.

I'm with Harold Z.

Did anybody else watch the 10 minute "prequel" to season 6 I just downloaded? I thought it was pretty pointless unless you really need to watch lots of Toyota product placement and Jack being tortured in China.

Well, there's still plenty of time for the season to go down the toilet, but that was excellent. :tup

You are fickle! :P

Ithought it was pretty good as well. One thing that seemed glaring to me(But they might not have been able to figure a way around it) was after 900+ people killed in Bus, subway, and train bombings....no show of police, and or military at the subway station??? No long slow check points???

I loved it, although I always love the first four hours. We'll see where this takes us. I, too, wondered about the lack of military/police/security in the subway. Given the racial profiling theme of the episode, it seemed odd that folks could enter the subway and just mill about as usual, especially 2 middle eastern young men with big attache cases.

Of course, I'm a girl so I would love this moment: Jack finally is home after not speaking for 2 years and enduring horrific Chinese torture because of it, only to be told that the reason he's been released is to be murdered. His first word in 2 years is ...."Audrey".

wait what was the prequel like? was it really crazy?

No. As I said, you get to see Jack tortured by the Chinese and tons of product placement for Toyota.

Season 2 went down the toilet after the nuclear bomb went off in episode 12. This year they couldn't even hold out until episode 5!

Nah...Jack is Jack.

I think Romano mentioned somtehing about China right before Jack started in on him. That tipped his hand. How would anybody know about that if they weren't involved?

The pool full of ill-tempered sea bass can't be too far away.

diks,

I'm not sure what you mean. It's not like this episode was any more ridiculous than the other ones.

Guy

agreed, yug. It's just that I was hoping that things might get better. They haven't.

Morris being the "engineer"... Jack's dad being "behind it all"... both were totally predictable, and totally lame.

What's that commercial say? "Jack Bauer: America's answer to James Bond"??

Either that, or America's answer to Austin Powers... :rolleyes::w
