I have to confess that I have major issues with this season's premise, writing, and pacing.
 
I still watch it because my husband is addicted. But too often I've been frustrated with the amount of suspension of disbelief that they request of us.
 
Having said that, Tony is awesome this year (Michelle, not so); Jack, as usual, ditto; and the female terrorist/mother was exceptionally well presented/acted.
 
The VP-now-Prez is just too unbelievable of a character to even waste energy on. The entire storyline where he's demanding Jack's arrest, at a particularly crucial time, and the secret service actually OBEY him to the letter, without fudging some... way too much to ask us to believe. Maybe if this were the first season's plot and no previous terrorist attacks had ever happened (like prior to our 9/11), then MAYBE it would be a believable scenario. They must have a LOT of new writers this season.

I have only seen a few episodes of this show. Am planning to watch the finale tonight because there is nothing else on.  
 
wolverina, I too have a problem with shows that are too over the top that I have to stretch to believe.  I felt this way after I watched Alias a couple of times.  Too outlandish for me.

24 started out to be a very good action packed thriller.  Somehow, about  
mid-way through the season it has gotten too far over the top for me as well.
 
Oh, we won't miss the finale tonight, if so, Mr L would have the big one for sure Roll Eyes

I just found this thread, lol! I love this show! My favorite season was the first. I have the first three seasons on DVD, and I have watched them all at least a hundred times each. ^_^ 24 is my favorite non reality show!

Even though Season 4 was not as good as the first three seasons, IMO, I cannot wait until January for Season 5! Just have to get through September, October, November, and then December, and finally 24 is back on again!  Smiley

I read that Sean Astin of "Lord Of The Rings"  
will also be on this season.

Really? That should be interesting. Although I've never heard of the actor since I have never watched Lord of the Rings!  Grin

I just read that the premiere is on Sunday January 15th, a 2 hour, followed the next day with another 2 hour episode.  That's a lot of 24!
 
Also, read that the DVD for the last season contains a prequel to what Jack has been up to with a bunch of product placements with Jack driving in an Toyato Avalon and Chloe in a Toyata Prius.  They won't show this on TV, but they said it won't affect the story.
