  • Why this show ended is beyond me. This episode is one of the best episodes of the whole series point blank.

    "Perfect"
    By Hip_Hop_Beats, Jul 01, 2011
    Tony Todd deserves an oscar for his role as the calculating Juma. The ending scene between Tony and Cherry Jones was super intense, You could almost feel that that b!tch smack that Juma laid upon President Taylor's face when he confidently informed her "I don't take orders from you."

    Sure it''s surreal that a White House invasion could be executed so easily but who cares? The actions scenes alone will make you forgive that un-realism and if that doesn't draw you in, the intensity of the situation is convincing enough that the writers told a well thought out story this time around. Plus let's face it, it was pretty cool seeing the battle being brought directly to the White House and President Taylor put on the forefront of the action and reminding her that she can be touched (literally) just like everyone else on the planet no matter her power or protection. Taylor's dilemma of deciding whether to sacrifice her daughter's life to save her own forces her to make a decision I think most of us would have made, even Jack. I truly hope the upcoming movies are as good as the show.moreless

  • Possibly the Best Episode of the Season!

    "Perfect"
    By Roces24, Jul 01, 2011
    This season of 24 is totally perfect and truly masterpiece.

    At this moment stills being in the same level of power than the season five, thanking its new and reinvented plots, enemies who the show have never seen before and an incredible action sequences so well worked.

    And this present episode is a remarkable example of this.
    Episode 12 is with some doubt the best episode of the whole season.
    Its really nreve cracking, really surprising and keeps the audience at the edge of their seats not only in the ending or only in a few moments.
    It keeps the audience in the edge during ALL the episode!.

    The action has never been so perfect before!.
    Kiefer Sutherland and its action are really remarkable!.
    And the situations, the episode plot and the suspense is really fresh and never seen before.

    It deserves to be in top episodes!!!!!!.
    10/10.moreless

  • Best action packed episode of 24 EVER!

    "Perfect"
    By wikiager, Jun 28, 2011
    Hands down! This is one of the best (and one of my favourites) episodes of all the time of 24 and its best action episode Ever for sure!.
    Its incredibliy amazing, since the beginning to the end: its visual style rocks, to use The White House for the next plot of the day is truly fresh and never done before... and its a truly nice idea... and its action and thrills: perfect!. I wasnt be prepared for this superb ride.
    This Season is simply one of the best, this episode is the best of the season yet... and 24 looks like to be at its best, and beyond!
    10/10 always!!!moreless

    "Superb"
    By BigDyno, May 10, 2011
    Yeah, the writers quit keeping it realistic eons ago. And why should I care when we've got terrorists roaming the White House here?! We've had presidential assassination plots before, but none of those storylines were this magnificently shameless about it.
    That basic plot description is really all anyone needs, but I shall continue anyway. Renee manages to tell the FBI what's up, giving Jack and Taylor ample time to flee into a lockdown room. Everybody else in the building is screwed: Juma bluffs to the Secret Service that he's got the Prez, so nobody's storming in yet. Buchanan, Mayer, and a bunch of extras get rounded up; Pierce and Olivia try to get a signal out; blah blah blah you're not even reading this.
    Halfway to the end and not a single crappy hour. S7 is consistent if nothing else. And there's plenty to love in this episode especially, even though the season may have blown much of its load early. There's something to be said for audacity: it doesn't always lead to good places (MarwankeepsescapingBS), but on the other handterrorists taking over the White House. What else do I need to say? Nothing. The review ends here.

    Hourly Highlight:
    Juma slapping Taylor.moreless

  • A suspension of belief is required to trudge through this episode.

    "Terrible"
    By matrimdt, May 30, 2010
    From inept secret service agents - who apparently don't have access to their own security feeds (or mind heavily armed hostiles walking down their hallways until a code red is issued, i dunno) - or have the necessary training to hit a stationary target at 30 feet (seriously, where were these guys found? Rent-a-cop?) to Jack pulling one of the most out-of-character stunts ever by handing over the president to terrorists (thereby rendering her a mere civilian and granting the VP the oval office) - this has got to be the worst episode of 24, ever.

    There was no suspense - apart from the suspension of belief. The writers hacked out an episode without any regard for the true security measures of the White House beyond a few cheap lines thrown in to satisfy the more cretinous viewers.

    While it seemed strange to see so many soldiers running around during the time before the attack on the WH, where did they all go during the actual attack? And the soldiers with heavy fire power who ran around in the bunker during the previous seasons, where were they? And why didn't the president go into the bunker when less than an hour before it had been declared that "there's going to be another attack on Washington"?

    All in all, a serious disappointment from the writers.moreless
