24 Delivers on every level!!

[maine_310 · 9/10 · 10 March 2009]

A round of Applause.

That is what I gave this show after it met it's dreaded 9:00 hour and it's anticipated 9:00 to 10:00 hour.

Breathtaking; another episode which kept me on the tip of my toes. 24 gives us different approaches to the same act and it always seems to be something new.

SPOILER ALERT

I knew Jack could not just walk out of the safe room without a Plan B. I must admit, I felt for Bill, his death was heartbreaking, he was a cherished cast member for 24 and I'm sure he would always be remembered. They hadn't mentioned Karen Hayes this season and whether or not she was still married to Bill? Agent Moss agent feels threatened by Jack's hold over Renee, when will he admit to himself that not everything is done 'by-the-book' and that is why Jack's methods work. Even though Jack is framed for murder, that scene was just brutal on every level, but well played.

The President's role played by Cherry Jones is a strong one and she pulls it off; she plays President Allison Taylor beautifully.

This show just knows how to give us a good deal and I usually am left thinking it couldn't get better, but is slapped in the face every week.

What a day we have ahead of us. I count down on the hours left hoping the day doesn't get any shorter on 24.

A Really Worthy Follow Up!

[jigsaw-91 · 10/10 · 27 December 2010]

Another incredible episode of 24!. This installment is unmissable due to Juma's attack is resolved here and the new plot which will direct the events of the day take place here too.

Bill Buchanan sacrifices himself to save The President and to help Jack to end Juma's reign of terror killing him. But not before told Bauer that there was another man helping Juma. That man is Jonas Hodges (an incredible Jon Voight, who was already presented in previous episode). So, when Hodges realizes that Jack Bauer continues following Ryan Burnnet to the hospital in order to question him again, a man from Hodges organization kills Ryan and poses Jack as the killer, forcing Jack to escape from the hospital and become a fugitive.

This episode continues being spectacular, truly breathtaking, brutal and breathless. A definitely adrenaline rush!. The ending of White House attack is really unexpected and really touching. All the drama and emotion that were no present in previous episode is in this one. A really worthy follow up.

And also the new plot opening is excellent. Really tense, original and clever.

As fine as the last!.

10/10.

Jack meets his match.

8:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. Juma has president Taylor give a speech in a means to surrender that is officially streaming online and could take hours to get rid of according to the CIA. In a desperate attempt to save the President Bill attacks juma and in the process kills himself when time bomb goes off in the building. Jack acts quickly and kills off Juma. A shootout between the FBI and Juma's soldiers begins, the FBI is very successful. President Taylor and her daughter share affection for each other, Taylor wants the world to know what went down here, regardless of anything. Jack is devastated by Bill's death. Renee and Jack know that there is more to this than Juma's involvement, someone was helping him or guiding him, Moss doesn't want to hear about it and because of Renee's actions as of late, she is suspended. Jack is told that the shooter from earlier, Tony Burnett, is wide awake now and can be interrogated. John Hodges finds out and has another one of his special top operatives to take care of the situation, Quinn. Quinn sneaks in some gas into Burnett's room and knocks out jack, he kills Burnett. Minutes later the two Jack walked in with find him. Jack later goes out and finds his ticket out of the situation once officials arrive onto the scene.

First and foremost it's always sad to loose such a great and beloved character on such spectacular show, Bill will be remembered.

A breathtaking hour. the story structure worked.

The acting is very top notch, we also are given such a powerful absorption from Jack's emotionality.

The action sequences are quite well shot and engaging.

At first I thought this season would go downhill, but wow, what a fine direction this is taking.

8/10.

Too Many Hours

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 2 July 2019]

Sorry I jumped the gun on the last episode. I will simply say that never have I seen a guy with so much bad luck as jack. You have bad guys with their own agendas who routinely create diversions and operations to blame Jack for everything. It would be hard to blame the authorities. But there is little if any faith in him no matter what.
