TV 24: Redemption

[Damini]

Too much cuddling orphans.

Not enough shooting people in the eye.

C- (please try harder)

 

[Tom]

Its only filler. I enjoyed watching it though, it hopefully will explain a bit of the story when 24 starts in January.

 

[Damini]

I thought it was really bad. The script was below par, the sentiment was maudlin, the action was disappointing, and Jack Bauer kept bloody cuddling orphans. Seriously. It was like a post watershed care bear movie.

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

I was unimpressed. It only got interesting in the last 10 minutes, 2 of which were the end credits.

They removed Jack too much from the environment which makes his character interesting. Shove him in a jungle with the enemies far removed from him and he's just an Arnie action hero wannabe, of which there are plenty enough in the world.

 

[Rulke]

Could have just swapped a rock onto the mine, indiana jones style

 

[throdgrain]

I was just annoyed no one got to fire that Lee Enfield. But then I suppose Jack doesnt need anything as good as a rifle, he can kill people with a sharpened bic biro

Yeah he did. At the helicopter.

 

[throdgrain]

No he didnt!

 

[DaGaffer]

No he didnt!

Hmm. *watches again*. Yes he did!

Spoiler

three shots. First missed, second in the windscreen, third into the engine/hydraulics. Just before the scene where the annoying kid gets Robert Carlyle onto the mine. What version where you watching?

 

[throdgrain]

Proof!?!?!? That wasnt the Lee Enfield, I was watching closely, Jack didnt shoot it, show me a youtube bit or something to prove me wrong!


(I bet you will try as well... )

 

[DaGaffer]

This do you?

 

[throdgrain]

I don't remember that at all!

 

[Raven]

Did his daughter fuck up and extend it to double the length it needed to be?

I have to agree entirely!

I dont want orphan cuddling in "24"! I want blood and guts and lots of blowing up of stuff!

Enough with the sentiment get on with the action!

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

They should do A Christmas Carol with Jack.

The ghosts could be Ryan Chappel, Nina and Curtis.

Not his wife though, I was grateful when they bumped the whiny bitch off.

 

[WiZe^]

ahh the smell of burnt ear!

 

[Damini]

ahh the smell of burnt ear!

Mmmm....

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Frazzles rule, but that is an old pack.
