>I've read your file, Jack. I know that the last 12 times you singlehandedly saved the United States of America, you were constantly mistakenly labeled a traitor because you were taking the correct course of action, and had we just listened to you to begin with the problem would've been resolved in 4 hours instead of 24 and with 0.0001% of the casualties
>....but this time we're doing things MY WAY. Also I'm playing you under arrest for treason

lmao oh boy
> revenge porn for 9/11
I mean really. This was gigacope because Osama.
>revenge porn for 9/11
and that's a good thing
>Allah ack... BAUUUUUEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!?????
The first season didn't even touch muslims and was about a shady spook who fricked up his domestic life and personal vendettas.
the show was conceived, filmed and produced before 9/11 that's why Jack works for a made up "Counter Terrorist Unit" instead of Homeland Security which didn't exist yet
>which didn't exist yet
Sometimes I forget how much 9/11 fricked up everything even further and put us into this awful path we're in now.
>season 1
>the presidential candidate, black btw, is under the threat of assassination
>I might be assassinated because people are still racist in 2001
>sir we have identified the assassins. you green lit a special operation to assassinate their father a few years back and they want revenge
>oh lol
imagine if writers could still shitpost like this today
>if they fail they're assassination attempt, frick it, i'll assassinate myself
>if i need to spend one more minute with that goddamn banshee
>DAAAVID!!
>DAAA-VID!!
>DAVID!!
>tfw you get dumped and your plan to bring a nuke into the country to embarrass your ex goes wrong
I forgot how absolutely psychotic she is in. Great character that could never exist today like
probably the best scene of the series
Dude that's just par for the course with this show.
I hatewatched so much for she.
>I can't wait to get to Designated Survivor where Jack doesn't have to answer to anybody
You're in for a disappointment then
Watch picrel if you really want Jack doing things his way
This show has some incredibly cringe and campy plot lines.
IT IS ALSO PURE KINO!
This show was unbelievably kino for the first five seasons. S6 was ok, S7 brought agent freckles tho, I literally don't remember season 8. 9 was ok for a wrap up, rip jack

Do not -- I repeat, DO NOT -- watch beyond season 1.
I miss her Lads.
For me its the assasinfu who gets naked S1 E1 scene 1. Might be one of the hottest woman I've ever seen in my life. 2gpvyd
>try watching this
>loathe the daughter so fricking much I just can't do it
Sorry, 24 bros, leave me behind...
You'll just have to power through it anon, her role is reduced drastically as the snow progresses
Can I just skip her scenes and still relatively understand what's going on?
Kinda but she is a brilliant actress who deserves an emmy for this scene alone
It gets better.
It's one of the best things about the show, almost purely expositional and generic script but 10/10 acting and delivery, scene related
Listen to this
anon
I almost quit early season 1 but it's worth it for season 4 And 5. 5 might be my favorite season of suspense tv ever. True detective S1 comes close but it's more noir than action thriller.
Ignore what
said, and automatically skip all scenes with her in season 2. 1 and 3 are pretty much impossible to skip though, but 2 is just the worst. After 3 she never gets a prominent role again, thankfully.
Kek I'm the same anon.
I just really like the show
I'm currently watching and in the later seasons, and I kinda miss those days of Kim, and not just because she's hot. They'd use her to do very moronic things to advance the plot and could get away with it because teenagers are dumbasses, but in her absence they have to resort to people doing very uncharacteristic things and/or getting overly emotional and doing dumb shit to throw speedbumps/force dead ends in investigations and prolong the plot. And when that's not enough, just throw a traitor out there real quick to do it instead. Goddamn I roll my eyes every time there's a fricking traitor to the US fricking things up, there are so many
>Goddamn I roll my eyes every time there's a fricking traitor to the US fricking things up, there are so many
Yeah haha so unrealistic. Nobody in the government would betray America or her people in real life! Why, I can't even think of a hundred examples from the last five years off the top of my head!
it is funny watching it now and logan is supposed to be some cartoonish over the top villain, but his worst act is a tuesday for trump and without the patriotic reasoning
>Designated Survivor
I watched a few episodes but it's real bad
>A newcular bomb
Who stoopid now, Jack?
>MISTAH BOWAH. DID YU TINK WE WUD FUHGET??
Cheng was probably the best character they made on the show.
>Chinese official can have a bunch of armed Chinese soldiers storm a federal building and kill multiple federal agents in a terrorist plot against the U.S
>no response from the U.S government at all
>Jack Bauer kidnaps one guy from a Chinese Embassy
>NOOOOOOOOO THIS WILL MEAN HECKIN WAR WITH CHINA
why did this show act like only foreign powers had sovereignty
yeah china never gets away with doing extremely fricked upped things
nope can't think of anything at all
image unrelated
not comparable to chinese soldiers literally storming a U.S government building on american soil and executing their personnel
>not comparable to chinese soldiers literally storming a U.S government building on american soil and executing their personnel
No, not all.
You're talking about just a few dead people.
Meanwhile what they did killed millions and created a massive worldwide recession.
The fact that the entire world didn't collectively decided to end China after Covid which we know it was created in a lab means that they can literally get away with anything.
one can easily be construed to be an accident while the other is a very blatant intentional attack on another country's sovereignty. they are not comparable stop being a schizo
>accident
The original leak was clearly an accident.
Hiding all the data about the leak while letting everybody from that region fly out of china but not internally in china was deliberate.
They knew they were fricked and they wanted the entire world to get fricked with them.
covering up a leak is not the same as a direct military attack on another countries territory
why are you still responding to that moron
>covering up a leak
Anon they didn't just cover up.
They let all international flies out of that region to continue even know they knew they had a virus on the loose. But they closed all travel from that region to any other region in china.
They intentionally spread it.
>because you were taking the correct course of action
there were a couple of times he tortured someone who turned out to be completely innocent. was kind of funny when in the movie they acted like the senator who was questioning him for blatantly violating constitutional rights was the bad guy
>person who seems like an ass turns out to be extremely based
favorite 24 tropes?
That's the great thing about 24, it's got almost every single action movie/twist/trope you can think of, most of which you see coming a mile away but it's still KINO
>24
>single-handedly got an entire population on board with torture
I despise this show.
reminder that nina being a mole made absolutely zero sense whatsoever and opened a series-long can of worms of pointless twists for the sake of shock value (love the show but still)
I don't think it made zero sense, she just wasn't exclusively a mole for king koopa. She'd take any job that pays as long as it didn't compromise her position at CTU, but she dun goofed when she was assured Jack would be killed and of course he wasn't. Chalk it up to an emotional mistake since she was still seething that she wasn't getting the D anymore from him.
S1 really handled the traitor thing well, there were only the two and they actually kept you guessing for a while. And I especially loved how they made the first one feel like a moron when asking her how much she was being paid. But at some point they just started making one in every three characters a very obvious traitor in waiting
>I don't think it made zero sense
it didn't tho, she actively foiled the drazen plot for 99% of the season and then suddenly turns into some super-villain at (literally and unironically) the 11th hour? it 'worked' but it was dumb and forced
and iirc the producers are on record admitting that killing terri wasn't decided until towards the end of the season
The end result was a dead Terri so there can be no complaining about the Nina tweest. She was easily the worst character in the show, and only got surpassed by Sherry because Sherry had more time to get even worse
pics you can hear
I want Sarah Clarke to pee on me.
