I might just add another incredible moment.


(not quoted exactly)

Palmer: Jack, you do realize this will be the last time we'll ever speak?
Jack : Sir, it's been an honor.


BRILLIANT.

Oh, right... Well I'm kinda trying to limit how much I use that account now! As opposed to SenpaiDessus.

I dunno about this account. For some reason I've got an active post from last year before I left on it. And it's only at 380.

OH WELL.

I absolutely love watching 24. I started with Season 6, and watched all the other episodes from Seasons 1-5. I really wish I could see all the Discussion topics from the older seasons. *slight hint*

Things I think are epic: Death Note, 24, Phoenix Wright, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The final Harry Potter Book.

here's where I got most of my clips:

it covers seasons 1-5 and has entertaining short writeups. I disagree on the order, but not with the comments. well, usually.

I just did that off the top of my head in about 5 minutes, so it's probably not exact, but it's a rough idea.

It was one of those incredibly depressing moments in Season 3. Season 3 was actually one of the darkest seasons, upon re-examination.

trannyscience | Posted 8/30/2007 9:45:48 PM | message detail | #475
yeah, the first half was for sure. the second half? not so much. I thought season 5 and 6 were probably the darkest, I guess. actually, they're all fairly dark.

SenpaiDessus | Posted 8/31/2007 12:42:33 AM | message detail | #476
Hmm, I'd say the entire part from the hotel sequence to Tony choosing Michelle over his country was the darkest part of Season 3. Total desperation; the only lead comes out of CTU executing someone completely at a terrorist's whim, and the only way they can break out of it all is by threatening the worst imaginable death of an innocent young girl.

Season 5 was dark based on the death toll it took on the main cast, but otherwise, it didn't have the same oppression. Season 6 was pretty dark during its beginning (the first bit plus the bit with Jack's family) and during the two scenes with Heller. The Gredenko-Fayed takedown arc was actually pretty light, comparatively speaking.

But yeah, when 'comparative' refers to 24, light means stuff like Season 2, where a happy ending involves the President, newly re-instated, getting assassinated at the end of the season. >>

transience | Posted 8/31/2007 12:46:08 AM | message detail | #477
I thought the darkest part of season 3 was the prison break, Jack's arrival, his willingness to shoot Chase, and then Chase's subsequent torture. the hotel wasn't really all that bad to me comparatively.

SenpaiDessus | Posted 8/31/2007 1:16:34 AM | message detail | #478
Wasn't so much what happened at the hotel as what didn't happen at the hotel - namely, any real progress at all. CTU was utterly helpless, and Jack looked like an idiot just walking around trying to figure out what the hell he could do. Which was nothing.

And I think that 24 is at its darkest when Jack is lost.

first half of season 3 was the darkest because it was nighttime lolz

For women and children it will, sometimes. The only exception of which I can think is Evelyn in Season 5.

Janet York wasn't an expendable character per se; she was a pretty major plot point
---

transience | Posted 9/2/2007 10:48:48 AM | message detail | #490
Evelyn's fairly major too. she's not in the plot as long, but she certainly plays a role, arguably moreso than Janet York.

SenpaiDessus | Posted 9/2/2007 10:54:20 AM | message detail | #491
Evelyn plays a role, yeah, but her death is comparatively meaningless, while Janet's death revealed Alan York to be Kevin Carrol. Also, I think FOX didn't care so much about censoring that because Janet in general was a complete idiot who caused this entire mess to begin with, while Evelyn was comparatively innocent.

transience | Posted 9/2/2007 10:57:16 AM | message detail | #492
I thought Janet's death was more of a "you wanna know what kind of show this is? THE GOOD GUYS ARE NOT SAFE, THEY ARE GOING TO DIE" kind of thing. her death is certainly more important given her struggle and escape, but I didn't think she was "a complete idiot". you had to feel at least kind of sorry for her. she was just a dumb college girl who wanted to party, not somebody that deserved to die.

SenpaiDessus | Posted 9/2/2007 11:09:56 AM | message detail | #493
Oh without doubt she didn't 'deserve to die.' I just have trouble seeing her as an exception to the women/children rule, I guess. Possibly because she was the first and, like you said, her death was in some ways a message to the viewer.

...Maybe one of the reasons I loved the first three seasons so much was because Nina was my favorite character after Jack.....that's gotta be a reason.

...And also....TO 500!
