24 Season 6 (NO SPOILERS)

Re: 24 Season 6 (NO SPOILERS)

Well, I love the premiere, but it's tough to back to one hour a week. On the bright side, we won't have any 4 or 5 week breaks like we did after Season 3 with Gael's releasing of the virus.

Re: 24 Season 6 (NO SPOILERS)

Simply put, I found out TOO MUCH regarding the ending of tonight's two hours that pretty much ruined and made it predictable what would happen. Not blaming anyone in particular, because I had read some stuff throughout this thread about the premiere even before last night.

I just need to avoid these things because, while it didn't necessarily affect my enjoyment of the show, I could have been even MORE floored by the occurances in the fourth episode.

I definately avoid reading spoilers or seeing info on TV. Whenever my wife would be watching one of those entertainment shows like Extra and they would talk about 24 she would switch the channel since we didn't want to know ANYTHING ahead of time. Knowing ahead of time is like knowing what you are getting for Christmas - it just spoils it.

That was our problem last year, and already this year. Not as bad as last year though, as no one really gave any spoilers, just hints.

Last year, it was pretty blatant spoilers being posted by people, and then they claimed not to have read any spoilers, it annoyed many people in the thread last year, I got numerous complaint PM's about it.

Re: 24 Season 6 (NO SPOILERS)

Well, just got done watching tonight's shows and reading through this thread...and I have to say that I don't think I'm going to be that big a part of this thread this season. Simply put, I found out TOO MUCH regarding the ending of tonight's two hours that pretty much ruined and made it predictable what would happen. Not blaming anyone in particular, because I had read some stuff throughout this thread about the premiere even before last night.

That said, WOW. I don't think I have ever been as disturbed and shocked by what happened.

Longhorn is right, this season is just disturbing because it's so real. Car bombs, suicide bombs, suitcase bombs, etc. These are all REAL possibilities, and to see them unfold in such a way on the show, it just scares the living hell out of me.

I can't think of any specific comments, because I tried avoiding the thread from the start of the premiere through the end tonight, for spoilers and whatever. Trying to comment on four hours worth of 24 is just really difficult.

Anyone else pissed that 1/6th of the season is done, already?!

I'm still not convinced that suicide bombers poses a realistic senario. I asked this question and I still got no answer: Outside of 9/11, when was there a successful suicide bombing on American soil?

Desipte that fact I still love the show. Someone asked the question about what other terrorist plot can 24 build on? How about they revisit assassinations again from season 1?

Don't want to get off topic, but if suicide bombers came onto US soil, you would have a WWII or Revolutionary War response and terrorist would no longer pose a threat for a while.

I don't think so. The military is too thin and that would require invading Europe and the Middle East. It just won't happen. Terrorism is prevalent in Europe and we in North America have just ignored that reality for quite some time. If it comes over here the rest of the World will just say welcome to reality. I think we would more likely see stronger measures taken within country rather than doing anything else.

Guys, keep this on the show 24. Thanks

Sorry EG.

How many more suitcase bombs are there? I didn't hear what Bill said the translation meant at the end of the show. I thought when they talked about the possibility of the nuke they only said one nuke was feared missing from the old Soviet Union? I was under the impression they have 5 but I don't have a clue.

Yes, there are 5, one has been set off. But to me, something is screwy with that. They went through this whole motion to break the one guy out of prision because he is the only one who knew how to set the bombs up, so how are they going to set off the other 4?? And they went through 4 hours of trouble to get that detonator...what about 4 more of those?

Fayed is still alive, and maybe Graham has something to do with it, hence how he gets thrown back into the mix?

Fayed wasn't the one who was setting off the bomb, it was the guy they did the whole scheme to get out of prison.

Re: 24 Season 6 (NO SPOILERS)

we should probably change the title of this thread, because there are definitely spoilers

I know. They spent $50,000 to get this device to make the nuke operational and now the guy and device are gone. Are all 4 other bombs in LA as well? Looking forward to next Monday either way.

They never said, I would assume so, unless we're watching Jack fly for 5 hours to Miami...LOL

I really have no idea, but based on the talk between the terrorists, they are all in LA.

LOL, yeah maybe a little. Maybe it should be no advance spoilers.
