24 (spoilers through to 2.4, 12pm)

[AntonyF]

I don't know... I felt season one of 24 was the best thing since sliced bread. Yet season two is leaving me cold? Why?

I can't point to any particular faults... probably just a sense of deja vous (I can't remember character names well, so many are called by their Star Trek character names!)....

Being chased by someone bad: Kim & friend = Kim & kid.
Sneaky deviousness around the president: Kassidy = Hobbs.
Need to find something before someone bad comes back: woman in hotel room = Ziyal.
Terrorists... they are slightly foreign looking and have accents, so they must te terrorists.

Sorry, really rambling.. tired and can't think of names.

But it does whiff of what's come before.

But they're interesting episodes, exciting... yet I just don't feel engaged like I did this time, and don't know why. I think the characters of Nina and Terri really helped, I liked them both. Nina in particular. Yet the introduction of Nina at the end of this latest episode in the photos just didn't have mcuh impact for me...

Very odd.

I wasn't all too enthusiastic at this point.

Watch on. It's wort it

Season 2 did start off slow. But trust me, it gets way better. The last few we got in the US have even surpassed season 1. Except for the Kim stuff- that still sucks.

GKE did you catch the previews for next weeks 24? Kim wasnt annoying last episode actually, and played a good part. However it looks like she is going back to being comic relief next week as she it looked like she goes to some 7-11 kinda store, which just HAPPENS to get robbed while she is there and she gets caught in the middle. Yea...stuff like that happens to everyone all the time. I ask you, how can one person have such luck?

 

[GKarsEye]

True, Kim was OK last week, because she served her primary function (no, not looking hot)- being Bauer's daughter.

But let's not spoil it for Ant.

*covers ears* Yes, that was going too far Recoil *covers eyes*

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Yeah, I have to admit that I'm finding it harder to suspend my disbelief this season, possibly because it is a little slower, so there's more time to think "Hey, hang on a minute...."

Although, Tony is getting hotter by the week. I may stay tuned just for him...

 

[Recoil]

Wait a second here. What did I spoil? Saying Kim wasnt annoying in an episode is actually a spoiler? The other comment was what I remember from a preview, and its probably pretty insignificant as well. I wasnt exactly giving away details here...

 

[AntonyF]

It reveals a variety of things Recoil. It reveals that if she goes into a store, I will now know what happens probably.

I can also deduce that she'll be alive in x amount of episodes time. So any dangers in the episodes between now and then will be pointless, as I know she'll live.

 

[Recoil]

Well I guess you will know when you get there that I really didnt spoil jack. I did say that I "thought I remembered" from the previews. Im not even certain of it, I was making a general remark as to the comic nature of her appearances. Trust me as you go forward watching the second season, there is nothing in my post that is going to spoil things or ruin the experience...
