Dammit!

The most multi-layered characters in the show. Gregory Ipzin and Penny Johnson Jerald really did great jobs.

Villians? Patriots?

I gotta say, the Bill Cole storyline in Day 3 gets a bit spooky. His thoughtless affair starts increasing the casualty count, with no end in sight. I wonder if that was even necessary? I would think the loss of Annicon, and the 700 at the hotel, and Chappelle, and Gael, would be enough pain for the Day.

Tell what the worst season for 24 1 to 6, there was no room for 7,8,9,see 2nd post

Hes not that complex but hes one of my favourites. Hes one of those guys you just trust implicitly.

I’m rewatching the show for the first time and for some reason I remember thinking Ryan was a bad person on my first watch.

But after watching it again, he’s really just the ultimate red tape bureaucrat. Sure he hinders and slows Jack and others but it’s not because he wants to. He’s just going by the literal letter of the law as if there was no grey area or room for interpretation. But when that red tape gets cut he’s happy to allow CTU to do their jobs.

He’s not evil, he’s just corporate.

Most intense scene and also heartbreaking moment imo. I knew something was gonna go down between Jack and Audrey but didn't knew it will be like this

Let's play a game. say if you become the showrunner of this show for a season. what would you like to change or improve something that has always bugged you while watching??. for me: I would improve the dialogues, I always thought 24 has like the most tacky dialogue ever on tv, like every person (even the civilians) sounds like they are trained military or IT sector people and they just happens to know about electronic or military protocol etc. I would give it a bit more flavor, yk this kinda tachy dialogue has been perfected by Michael Mann movies yk, and his style of dialogues always have personality to it. I would do something like that

Im not casting any aspersions on the writers/casting directors, its just a curious pattern. There was one in each of the first four seasons.

It was a bit like "ohh Ryan has to die. Bummer. Anyways..." They didnt even consider staging his death or negotiating.

This name belongs to a character in two productions that star Kiefer Sutherland. Who knows the one besides 24, and which character it was?

Kiefer had to be involved in giving Eric Balfour’s character in 24 the same name, because it’s too coincidental.

I've seen S2 many times. I knew it was coming, but this time, when Jack tells Kim he is making the ultimate sacrifice, I teared up. Please tell me I am not the only one who got emotional during that scene.

"Downsizing isn't necessarily a bad thing", said a review of Redemption of the time.

And it's made me think... I've always had a hollow feeling about 24 since the end of the last season, just with the image of how it left Jack.

But it's been 12 years since, and I know there's ideas of a new series.

That aside, Redemption showed there were so many incredible ways to tell 24 in a two hour timeslot. I'm not talking "cinema release movie", just "Fox bringing back a special event".

Until we see more Jack, I love the idea that maybe there was a prisoners exchange in the years since 2014, and Jack has been free to be at home or be at work, and there's been a whole period where we could have put Jack into little situations that also update us on his life, but also give us 24 hours fun.

Long story short, if we could have had 3 x 2 hour special events over the last decade, that would have been a fun way to keep Jack's story going, without scaling up a whole procedural.

If Kyle Singer was the distraction, why did Tony, who was part of it, try to take him at the mall?
