Last 24 review for the Year
May 23, 2003
24 POWER HOUR
Cool Stuff:
The twenty plus minute commercial free opening for the twenty third hour. It was like last season when Jack rescued the Secretary of Defense in the first five minutes. A perfect little action movie within a movie. Plus the red shirt finally lives! Robocop dies! Meanwhile in the Alias finale, Syd finally pumps Sloan full of lead. But he still lives! In 24, Robocop dies!
Jack & Agent Pierce working together! Will Agent Pierce be a regular next season? Will he join CTU?
Chloe has a husband? And he is a bigger tech geek than she is? Dude, hope he joins the cast next season too! He was funny.
Jack cannot kill the President! Or was it always his plan to not kill Logan? Pretty risky there, buddy.
A little reminder of Fat Edgar! We will miss you!
The smiles on the FLOTUS and Mike Novick as the President gets carted away! That was precious.
Not So Cool Stuff but still good:
Never give Jack a happy ending when there fifteen minutes left in the show. He will only end up in China.
What Happens next Season?
Has the show jumped the shark? Pretty hard when the show does this all the time. How many main characters died this season? Palmer. Almeida. Stiles. The Fat Hobbit. Dressler.
Was it a good season?
Season Two is still my favourite. This season seemed to have a more episodes where it took its time to get to the point. Where they spend thirty minutes to get somewhere, then ten minutes where things heat up and then a couple of minutes where IT ALL GOES TO HELL and you cannot wait for the episode next week!
But there were a lot of signature moments. Stuff that you know if you see it in other shows, you know they ripping off, I mean paying homage to the show.
I liked that CTU had more time in the spotlight this season. Probably a teaser for the next season as everyone wonders where Jack went. (He went out for some Chinese)
Best New Character:
The Jack Sack.
Overall Prognosis:
TEN STARS, DAMMIT!
Cool Trailers seen:
X-Men III, Superman Returns, Pirates of the Caribbean. Watching 24 last night was like watching the Superbowl with all the new and interesting commercials. Anyone else notice that?
PS- the Alias Finale:
I liked the flashback scenes. Reminded me of how good the show was. But it was all over the place. And they destroyed the character of Irina Derevko. A totally pointless epilogue. Too bad they killed Jack Bristow. It would have been cool in a geeky way if he joined 24 as the new Jack - in its heyday AKA seasons 1 & 2, Jack Bristow could have given Jack Bauer a run for his money. But next season, he returns as a sleazy lawyer.
