Tell us what you think!

They've really got me hooked at wondering what the next threat is going to be. It's starting a little slow in my opinion, but building solid nonetheless.

I voted pretty good.

I still love it but i don't like any of the new characters. Cole aint bad but he has a funny voice that doesn't match the job. Razz

I voted amazing. Seems kind of season 4-ish, with all the new characters.

Plus David Anders Razz

It's ok....

Up and down so far. I love Anil Kapoor and Prinze Jr. But Dana Walsh and that Arlow guy aren't really interesting. Though I'm interested in seeing Walsh and Prinze Jr. conspiring to cover up the murder of Walsh's ex boyfriend (my prediction).

I think the russian guy is very creepy, they could use him well.....

PS- who else hates the New York setting? I'd like this season much better if it were still in DC, or better year LA or Miami.

Its starting out really good in my eyes. I like where Reenes story is going. Im naturaly drawn to darker type of characters.
I will wait to vote though. If I had to lay down a vote it would amazing.

I like the new characters so far and the storyline, but why does CTU look like a swanky Vodka Bar?

Posted: Jan 20, 2010 6:54 pm

This.

And in this swanky new CTU joint, how come no one who works there has ever heard of Jack or Chloe? You'd think Jack Bauer would be a household name at CTU in the same way that someone at West Point would know about George Patton or U.S. Grant. I mean hey, he only saved the country/world half a dozen times, probably shouldn't listen to the guy...

At least Hastings apologized to Chloe...surprised someone who acted that arrogant would actually admit a mistake, so maybe there is hope for him.

Reserving judgement on Renee. Not enough info/screen time to really speculate, though I loved her last season. What's interesting is it sounded like, with the conversation she had with Chloe, that she was, in addition to her other problems, actually unemployed when she came to CTU.

Freddie Jr. aka Agent Ortiz- I like the guy.

Started a thread on Dana Walsh, but to keep it short - cannot stand her in regards to the plot with her ex. Needs a spine donor, badly. The helpless victim act works for a soccer mom or mild-mannered accountant but not a professional counterterrorist agent. Pull yourself together, lady, and I may actually start caring what happens to you. And who the hell wears a cocktail dress to work at CTU?

Anyone that has ever been in the military or work for any .gov office knows that we would never have a place like that. But I made the connection for you in the quote.

Im a huge fan of 24, but, last night i was left a bit disappointed for the first time ever......changing rooms had been into CTU and done a makeover, the famous CTU ringtone has changed!! and it was full of second rate actors, apart from Chloe of course.

Thing that really is bugging me at the mo is that blonde bird with the fit figure, she is head of ops in CTU, but, her REAL name is Jenny from some trailer park, im sure National Security would of done a background check and discovered she is somewhat reason for concern, or is this the idea, who is she?????

And the director of CTU, sack him and bring back Rene and make her Run things instead of him rapping orders....

Tony Almeida???? will he arise????

What happend to Janis Gold????

Aaron Pierce?????

too much to take in.....

I'd really like to know who voted "best season yet". Masochists I'm guessing.

Posted: Jan 25, 2010 11:48 pm

I voted pretty good.

Posted: Feb 11, 2010 6:18 pm

I'm back after a nine month hiatus whilst 24 wasn't on hehe! Smile

So far I think Season 8 is starting good, solid if you like. Something i've really got from it so far is the dark theme to it. It seems a lot more "gritty" than before, specially with Renee in her new "don't care" personality which Annie is portraying superbly. Really am intriged to see what happens next!

Posted: Feb 20, 2010 7:08 pm

I'm far from hooked. It's not even close to the best season yet. I really hope we're getting a more interesting storyline, because the Russian nuclear threat doesn't do it for me.

Posted: Feb 28, 2010 4:51 am

What the f is with all of the b-grade acting with these new CTU softies. Ortiz and Walsh couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag let alone carry the weight of the free world!

Tony Almeida, Buchanan, Chapelle all kicked ass in their own way. Damnit, I wanna see some awesomeness!!

After 8 seasons, my wife stopped watching '24' and she was the biggest fan ever. I'm still waiting for each episode to hit the internet, but she couldn't care less. This is not good. Damn, I'm hoping this season will improve.

Posted: Mar 21, 2010 10:02 am

its not that good at all they should have done a better season than this

Posted: Mar 21, 2010 8:18 pm

You know what I hate? The NY setting. That really doesn't fit 24 for me.

Last episode was the first real great one of the season, hopefully the trend continues.

I so know what you mean. Saw angry jack come out however I didn't believe that he'd hurt that guys mom by taking her to the bomb site just to get him to talk - so close to what we expect but still a ways off.

Posted: Mar 22, 2010 4:55 pm

All may change with day time episodes in NY bring. When they hyped the location that's what they talked about.

I voted "Amazing" during the 2 night premier. After that it seemed to go downhill until about hour 12. From then until now I think it has earned its way back to amazing.

Posted: Apr 14, 2010 3:43 pm

I was thinking this was a great season until the writers wrecked it by killing Renee.
It's going to be strange watching the last episodes. Before i was excited and now i am just dissapointed. Damn u writers for not letting Jack be happy for more then one episode.

Posted: May 23, 2010 1:19 am

I voted pretty good....WHY? Because first of all, i`m not really happy with the new characters as well as others.....though, apart from all of the mistakes that are been made creating this season, my disappointment is on the fact that in every season, including this one, Jack is held responsible for everything that`s happening. I mean...I don`t think that everyone here supports my idea, but it drives me crazy to seeing that every single time his credits for being a hero are invisible. Everyone...except Chloe and some other character...turns against Bauer, and sees him as the number one public enemy. Including the acting president, which plays along and does nothing in Bauer`s favor. I mean, at one point, it`s like everybody had their minds erased, and forgotten how many times Bauer saved them. This hypocrisy is driving me crazy every season!!!!!!

Amazing season, just mad that they felt the need to kill Renee. Also a bit more Chloe screen time than I prefer. Her face breaks my HDTV.
