I've loved every episode and every season, it's by far and away the best tv programme ever made. t? Season 4-5 were awful and I just gave up. Has anything changed?
My wife watches Spooks, a poor mans wannabe 24. :lol:
As I wrote earlier, it's the same every "Day" with 24, terrorists funded/backed by "big business".... or key staff in the Govt/Security Services turning a blind eye to a terrorist attack in the hope it makes the case for war. A pretty obvious nod to 9/11 conspiracy theories.
Having said all that, can't wait for the new series!
LAst one was weak...felt like they made up each episode as they went. A plot twist is not exciting if its repeated and nonsensical.
They took the great "who's the mole" plot from Season 1 and turned it into a pantomime of he is he isnt he is he isnt he might be he cant be he was he might be good next time though.

My problem with the last one was that the final twist totally negated everything that had happened. You'd think "hang on, but he wouldn't have done XYZ if that was the case". It was almost a cop out; they got to the end having thought "dammit, we've made everyone appear to be bad and appear to be good throughout 23 episodes, now we just have to decide who it's going to be".Making Almeida a baddy (or quasi-baddy) was probably a "jump the shark" moment. In fact, resurrecting him was probably one as well. As long as they don't try to resurrect David Palmer, I guess they will do ok.
All television is mindless IMHO, however, I much prefer to watch Jack than any of the reality "American Idol Has Talent" or whatever.

isn't almeida a triple-agent or was that a quadruple-agent now? he seemed to swap sides every episode of the last series - I've lost track.All television is mindless IMHO, however, I much prefer to watch Jack than any of the reality "American Idol Has Talent" or whatever.
