"24: Day Four"

Wow. I guess this place is just like the real world then, because wherever I go NOBODY is talking about the final two hours featured on Sky One last night.

Oh, I get it - you've all probably downloaded MONTHS ago.... :P

I've clearly started this thread in the hope that someone will have something to say about the finalé they, too, witnessed last night, but I cannot understand people's general opinions on the show in all.

You look at films like Die Hard, just as one example...
Everybody LOVED those films and they seemed to take to everything like it since. But not 24. Why the heck not?!?

It's too much for some people, or so I've been told. They seem to find it too much to sit through a single hour because of how tense, nerve-wracking and on-edge every-single-second seems to be. But I think that is what makes this so unique.

Sadly, this was the first series I've actually gotten around to watching since it began a few years ago. And boy, have I enjoyed it!!
My fear is that this could be the last, after all that happened last night. Can anybody confirm this?

At least I have some comfort in watching the very first series every Friday night on BBC 1. But once that one's over with, what next?


For those of you aware of the deal at the time, I am still absolutely KICKING MYSELF for letting the oppurtunity pass me by for when Play.com had the box sets going for something rediculous like £15 each!! :@ :(

So, please; if you witnessed the events, let us discuss.
But I warn you now, if you haven't seen it yet - DO NOT READ ON!

I'm also interested to know what else Kiefer Sutherland has been in, besides Phone Booth, which I quite liked? Any decent? Anything at all?

Never seen The Lost Boys? Classic modern (well it was 15 years ago) Vampire movie with an excellent cast (both Coreys).

He has a smallish role in Stand By Me as well.

He's in both Young Guns movies.

And loads of other stuff.

I seem to remember enjoying "Truth and Consequences NM" (or sometihng) and he directed that too.

Since I picked it up from season four, I've been staring at Habib Marwan trying to figure out why the heck he looks so damn familiar to me. But then again, I seem to do that to everyone, everywhere I go, actually! ;)

I had a look on IMDB earlier, and it turns out he was both The Mummy films from a few years ago. And, he's not South African - when I'd have said he was an English/American-bred Turk, perhaps?

Kiefer Sutherland is a spitting image of his dad (only younger), and of all the other films and TV appearences he's made, the only I can honestly recall is of The Three Muskateers!

Two more seasons to come?

How do you suspect they'll manage that with Jack Bauer "dead"?

Even under a totally new identity, surely the Chinese would find out he was still alive after time, especially if he's still with CTU in some form?
Or could the unlikely turn be taken, and someone else, maybe Curtis, takes over as the 'star of the show'?

Somehow, though, I just can't see Kiefer Sutherland being left out really, at all.... Perhaps the whole China thing will re-appear late in the next series to cause more destruction.

But what would bring "Bauer" back from his new life, as a new person?


I must say, I found it a little too predictable that he the gun shots wouldn't have killed him. That's no way for this man to go. In fact, I must say, I find so many of the events in 24 ever so predictable and rather unsurprising. But that doesn't matter. That's not what keeps me watching; what keeps this unlike ANYTHING else...

I've never been as edge-of-my-seat as I am when watching this.

The lesbain was pretty fine

Yeah, when Kingsley's men were torturing him. They then used Epinepherine to revive him.

I'm pretty sure he died in series 2 as well. While we was being tortured, yes?

I thought it was great. Sad it's over, though.

And yeah Jack's been through a hell of a lot, although he got through most of this series relatively unscathed, until that last episode.

That can't be good for his heart after what happened in Season 2.

It was a good finale, but I agree that the whole missile thing was over rather quickly. A whole 24 hours dedicated to the crisis, and then they find the location in a mobile, drive there and shoot it down. Ugh. The whole Jack thing was cool though.

I'm sure there'll be a season 5. When have you ever seen a successful US TV show finish before it had stopped making money? I'm sure they can get around any slight plot obstacles - in Season 3 they made Kim a CTU agent for God's sake.

That last episode was great.

Probably my favourite episode of all time.

Although the whole "btw we killed the missile... Erm.. Woop.. LET'S GET ON WITH JACK!" sucked a bit.
