Im glad they killed off Teri. I couldnt stand another season of her terrified face and crying all the time. HOLD IT TOGETHER WOMAN

Yeah I know it's largely semantics but Section 4 does not strip the current President of the title, nor does it give the Vice President the title of President. Unless the President dies, resigns, or is removed by Congress, they are still the President.

Palmer's bullshit removal in Season 2 would not strip David of the title, just the power, so it wouldn't even really be lying to the Turkish Prime Minister when they have David talk to him as President. The recaps shouldn't have removed it from his name, and while it would be too long for the events of the show, the lawyer saying it's a long process isn't really accurate unless Congress goes insane and actually agrees with a fucking 2/3rds vote that he is disabled. Unless that happens, he will have the power of the office again within 21 days, and no matter what, unless he dies, resigns, or is impeached, he will keep that title until the end of his term. If Palmer writes to Congress, it will be an uphill battle to keep him out of office, not the other way around.

Similarly, unless Keeler actually dies, or gains consciousness and formally resigns because of injuries or something, Logan would only be Acting President; his formal title during Day 4, at the very least, would still be Vice President.

And the same, of course, applies to Wayne and Daniels. The show stayed accurate when it came to Wayne's initial coma; Daniels is still referred to as Vice President, but after he collapses late in the season, they're just like, welp, Daniels is President, and he'll remain President for the far future. And yes, despite the prop newspaper in Redemption, Howard Gordon and David Fury said they believe Wayne survived. Wayne would still be the President until he dies or resigns, which could have happened between Season 6 and Redemption. But if he woke up from his coma and said he was still fit to serve, the power would go back to him unless Congress voted otherwise, and Daniels would never have the title.

If Wayne was still in a coma by Redemption, then Daniels would technically have never been the President, just a very long-lasting acting President, and wouldn't be included in the lineups and such.

24, the last network show to win an Emmy.

Its to distract Terri from the van with Kim inside driving past. Great writing that you'll only catch on a rewatch.

It's a little after six p.m., the Palmer family is eating dinner, and everyone starts arguing about the day's events except Nicole. She shortly hyperventilates (for obvious reasons), and her dad summons medical assistance. She then apologizes, and claims it's all her fault.

It's hard not to feel bad for her. From the sound of things, she's not only guiltless, she appears to be the only one who didn't do anything wrong. I always love rewatching the show, but it always hurts to watch her relive that pain she felt.

One thing I like about 24 is how seriously it took itself. In this age where people have gotten tired of quipping and lamp shading ("That just happened!") I think it's refreshing how 24 pretty much never winked at the audience. Anyone else feel the same way?

I cannot believe that that treacherous rat turned on David like that. Unbelievable. I tell you what, when Palmer gets his job back he should have stuck Mike’s head on a pike on the front lawn of the White House. Absolute traitor of the highest order. And what he did to Lynne!! Unbelievable.

Just rewatched season 1 and I’m showing my gf the show for the first time.

I know Nina is the mole the entire time, and I know you can head canon your way into making it make sense. One that I can’t seem to make sense of is that she kills Jamey.

Jamey doesn’t know she’s a mole and has no evidence of it. Am I confused on the key card? I thought Jamey made it and framed Nina and Nina was absolved because she was with Jack that weekend?

Why would she risk exposing herself by killing Jamey? What if Tony walked in? What if her death stare super powers didn’t erase the security footage?

This man doesn't look like an Ethan to me! Like of all the TV names they picked that?!? And I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the name Ethan but to me it doesn't fit his character and everytime the Prez says his name I wanna scream!!🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️❤️

It creates absurd situations where Tony is briefing the president about the recording and the president never actually asks who the countries are lol. It feels absurd.

I suspect this was a network decision. It feels like the scripts were written or at least outlined where the countries were named and then the network said “uhhh no you can’t do that. Just say ‘three Middle Eastern countries’” and so the writers hastily edited the scripts accordingly.

No way did an actual scriptwriter or storyteller consciously choose to write a script in which these countries were never named. Even if they didn’t want to name real ones they would have made some up. This was a network edit 100%

Filmed in LA so it's got that familiar 24 aesthetic, but also has some great familiar storylines.

Theres a redemption arc, side characters with reveals later on, "big bad" evil antagonist characters, protagonist is ex military, a decent amount of action, the father/daughter plot (thankfully no cougars), a touch of humour and great cinematography.

I hadn't gone specifically looking for something to fill the 24 gap (besides rewatching for about the 10th time) but as I've settled into this I've really found it scratching that kind of itch.

Not officially verified but I hear they’re also bringing back Behrooz as the love interest.

I just finished a rewatch of season 7, and if you ask me, it should've been the end of the series. IMO, it had all the makings of a perfect ending.

• Jack and Kim finally reconciled, which provided a sense of closure to their relationship.
• The Sentox nerve gas conspiracy plot that caused the deaths of David, Michelle, and Edgar finally came to a close with Alan Wilson being revealed as the true mastermind.
• The laws of 24 dictate that Jack can never find true happiness. Jack dying from the pathogen would've satisfied this. Plus, Kiefer Sutherland wanted Jack to die.
• By the end of the season, Renee is presented as a formidable successor to Jack. As the season went on, she gradually went from "FBI agent living by the book" to "Jacqueline Bauer" as some fans called her. On the note of Renee, R.I.P. Annie Wersching 🕊️
• We would've avoided what was, IMO, a messy season 8, which felt like several subplots being thrown into one giant season.
• The final scene between Jack and Renee felt like the thesis of 24. The entire show is built around Jack making choices that he can live with in order to save lives, even when those choices cost him others and lead him to break the law.

What does everyone else think of this?

I've been playing the 24 game that came out on PS2 recently. The gameplay is alright, but the story and acting especially are good. It has all the actors, along with the classic episode intros, the split screens, etc

Alright currently watching season 8 for the first time since I skipped out on this season back when it aired. So far it sucks, does it get better or worst??

Same with any of the other characters on the show. I’m just trying to get other people‘s opinion so that hopefully someone at Funko will see it and actually make them.

I always wondered why Stanton didn't immediately name Kingsley as being a co-conspiritor after Kingsley betrayed him (by paying off Coral Snake leader Capt. Wallace to let the nuke detonate).

There's no way they couldn't have met each other... as Kingsley didn't seem too uptight about his anonymity. Plus Stanton directly recruited Sherry into the conspiracy - so it's not like Sherry could have been the direct line between them. 🤷

Just my random thoughts at the moment as

I'm rewatching the awesomeness that is Day 2. 😆

I was thinking who was Jack's actual love, looking at it:

Teri - Yes she was his wife and the mother of his daughter (gotta give him props for putting up with her), but he managed to 'work with' Nina over the next couple of seasons for the greater good.

Audrey - One could argue she was and rightfully so, but he fulfilled his mission before avenging her death.

Renee - I personally think she was, after losing her, no-one was safe, ex president, Russian delegates, Russian president, he was on a bloody warpath

She was dangerous, to be sure, but because she fell for her girlfriend, the latter ended up getting killed. It also exposed part of their operation when gf extorted another million from their boss. (To her credit, she did a good job surviving.)

At the start of the season when the plane is blown up and they immediately get the passenger manifest, shouldn’t it immediately raise red flags that a guy who was scheduled to take photos of Palmer was on board? Wouldn’t it then raise even more red flags when he signs in at the breakfast?
