Was home for the weekend and decided to watch the episodes of 24 that had been recorded.  I was pretty excited since I love the show, but I felt kinda disappointed after watching the first 3 and haven't watched the others left on the planner yet.  Perhaps I expected too much, but it didn't seem as good as previous seasons.  Maybe it picks up though, since I only watched the first 3 so when I'm next home I'm going to give it another try.

I wouldn't get too excited about the rest if I were you!

Was thinking episode seven was a bit dull and then we had the 'when Renee gets angry' scene, certainly woke me up!!

News on the internet is that filming has ground to a halt as Keifer was injured during filming, they still hope to complete the series in time for series to air without a break.

Tonight's episode is very good.

[TonytheCylon]

No fair, have got to wait another 51 minutes !!!!

Good to see Jack get back into the 'swing' of things.

Much better pace to the episode, absolutely flew by. Also, with Dana apparently just about to get her revenge, that story is at last becoming more interesting.

Only a third of the way through, hopefully the momentum will continue to build and not peter out mid season like in some previous seasons.

Certainly, although it's 'only' nuclear material thats being hunted down, the actual threat hasn't really surfaced yet, plenty of fun ahead me thinks.

I agree last nights episode was better, more like the way 24 should be, moving at enough of a pace so you don't really notice that it doesn't make total sense!

[Will Jones]

The thing with Day 8 is that it had to be different.

Jack was going to LA and reluctant to go back in. He twice tried to go.

I think this Day is looking good.

[TonytheCylon]

Part 9 was another good episode,the pace is definately building.

The Dana blackmail storyline appears to have come to an end at last, shame she had to rely on Cole to sort them out.

Looking ominous for Farhad Hassan, will be sad to see his haircut go!

oh and had to laugh at 'another' reason being found for Jack to stay around. Hopefully there will be a double episode in a couple of weeks time to mark the mid season point, it's just flying by.

[Will Jones]

There should not be any delay in broadcasting the episodes as KS has had his operation and cleared to return to work. There have not been any delays posted yet.

Personally I hope this is the last season as its getting very boring.

Renee is just a rubbish character and the fact jack is putting her ahead of his family is dumb.

Danas story is crap too, that said ill stick with it to the end.

[Count Fooku]

I have to admit I just can't take Prince Freddie seriously as a hard man, I was half expecting him to pull the trigger on those two highly camp yet bearded no good street toughs last night and a flag saying 'Bang' to come out the end.

Renee is dull as ditchwater, everytime I see her I just want to slap her round the face, tell her to wash her hair and pull herself together.

The good thing about this season is even if Farhad @My Beautiful Laundrete' Hassan does get chopped, there are still plenty more outlandish haircuts to get through this season!

You know, I was thinking, the whole Dana storyline thing has to lead somewhere surely?

Freddie Jr's got her out of trouble but now he could (if he isn't the loyal CTU agent we are led to believe he is) use it to his advantage, could a new double agent be on the cards?

After all, even if the botched blackmailing didn't take place and he was a double agent, what better way to infiltrate an organisation than get engaged to one of CTU's top experts?

Then again maybe I've just been watching the show too long........

I think the Dana storyline is now officially worse than Kim and the Cougar, I thought for a moment it was going to turn into Titanic when that bloke's body was sinking!

Cole Ortiz as a double agent would make his character worthwile. The character is very boring at the moment, and it makes sense for him to clean up a mess that could threaten his position.

Yes, it's looking more and more likely isnt it.

But then again, it could be Dana/Jenny is the Double Agent. How do you make your position stronger, but by making someone in power think that they have saved you and that you owe them - as in Cole saving Dana. Also, Cole has now shot someone dead when he coudl have quite easily wounded them and taken them into custody. Has Dana now got him to commit murder and he doesn't know it yet?

Why did Coel give Kevin and his buddy a chance to walk with the money?

There are now many questions from a sub plot that could look as going nowhere.

Also add to the pot that this season has seen a different Jack, and thus a different Day 8 of 24. At every given opportunity he has tried to go tot Los Angeles. It is only now that he ahs made a deal to stay until it is all sorted out do we know that the OLD JACK will make an appearance.

I really hope that there is more to this probation officer thing than is initially apparent (I'm assuming there is) otherwise would a national emergency being managed by a government agency really be interupted so the probation service can complete an administrative procedure?!

[TonytheCylon]

I agree, surely everyone else watching must be thinking the same thing, maybe the writers anticipated that and they are just letting that storyline go along without any real baring on the main plot lines, just to confuse us or put us off the scent of a surprise.

I did enjoy the shot where you could see the newly 'decorated' inside of the oxygen tank thingy, made me smile, that nipper had it coming to him.

I keep on expecting the series to step up a gear, hope we're not all disapointed.

[Count Fooku]

I loved the line straight after the Frodo terrorist blew himself, Jack said something like "I need a line to the President" (or something like that), which made me think, no you don't dear you need a mop and bucket!
