  • Not too much action... but several surprises

    "Superb"

    One thing I liked about the last season is that Kim Bauer was finally able to let her father in her life again and was also able to forgive him and overcome all that trauma that was overwhelming her. Now married, with a child, it was nice to see Jack hanging out with his granddaughter and being a father once again.

    I'm not still convinced about the idea of another season that begins with a plot to kill someone. The episode was very good actually, with action, not as much as we're used but still, I was expecting something else but this wasn't that bad.

    Poor Chloe didn't find her place. But I'm sure she was glad to listen to Jack's voice again.

    Can't wait for next week.moreless

  • A beginning too much far from the level and the expectatives of Season seven

    After saw a brutal and breathless season, like the seventh season was, the people expects another excellent season, with an stunning beginning that introduces you in the plot and don't let you go. And i have to say that this present season doesnt have all that elements. After see this new episode i have the feeling that it was fairly disappointing, and the suspense and the strength of the last season it's too far. Despite the show repeats the details that the last season presented once, maybe with the hope to repeat the same success, this new beginning, this new characters and this new plot are not as perfect and intelligent as the last season or another one. But one thing is really truth: Jack Bauer still engaging us after seven seasons. And the new place, NY, looks like very cool at the moment.

    I enjoyed enough this episode and the last six minutes are so breathless and very good. For me, the best of whole episode. Well, also Jack Bauer is included.

    So, a good start, but not as terrific as you could expected.moreless

  • Strong beginning to the eighth season, although not so much surprises and action as the previous premieres.

    All of 24 season premieres always set up quite nicely the rest of a season, they always feature at least one action sequence and interesting character dynamics. Last year, we had the return of Tony Almeida, but in Day 8, apparently not coming back, it belongs to Jack and the new characters to carry the show. The episode begins showing a happy Jack for the first time since Season 4, and although it's brief and predictable that his happiness won't last long, nonetheless it's a refreshing change of pace. More than ever, Jack now has more reasons to resist coming back into his old world.

    The plot was generally interesting and we had good action in the last 5 minutes. However, I consider this to be the weakest of the season openers, although that doesn't mean this episode is bad. It's not, but I think it lacks a liitle bit some of the shock value or adrenaline rush of the previous seasons.moreless

    A new season and another situation that will put everyone in danger. Jack is back, with a normal life, 6 years passed and now Jack appears to be fine and not with a death sentence, thanks to the last season. Jack is living fine, but as everyone can guess, Jack can never have peace, even now after all this years, so it is easy to guess that he will return temporarily in action to help CTU.

    Another new CTU, with a great look and technology and some news character and the lovely Chloe, also Kim appears in this episode to give meaning to what Jack have been doing all this time, since the treatment could be dangerous (I don't know how) to her, nice to see she is fine.

    So, for 24 standards of 24, the presentation is very good, the complication phase seems to be interesting, nothing new, but nothing bad either. The climax was the best part of the episode, filled with the usual good and nice action that only 24 can deliver like this. The ending was unpredictable because I didnt expected that they would reveal the agent supposed to assassin Hassan so soon, this is why I dont believe that character is the one supposed to assassin Hassan, will we see. Didnt notice filler, it is hard since this is the presentation, also didnt notice plot holes either.

    Presentation Phase - (9/10), Complication Phase - (7/10). Climax Phase - (9/10), Ending - (8/10), Time and Scene Management - (10/10), Plot Details/Holes- (10/10), Suspense/Tension - (7/10), Drama - (8/10), Action - (8/10), Predictability/Unpredictability (7/10).

    Overall, we have a great presentation for a show were dong different and never seen before things is difficult.moreless

  • The eighth season begins with a new CTU in a new location. Specifically, New York City. As a historic peace accord is about to be signed at the UN, Jack receives information from an old informant that an assassination may take place.moreless

    The eighth season of one of the best suspense dramas ever did get off to a good start. However there were a few bumps in the road. The whole storyline with Jack agreeing to move back to Los Angeles with Kim is one of them. It could not have been anymore obvious that he would be forced to change his plans at the last second. The second is how Hastings refused to give any credence to Chloe's theories that the journalist arrested at the UN was set up. From the second I heard that I knew Chloe was 100% correct.moreless

    • After Victor Aruz flees the scene of the first attempt on his life, the shooters call 911 to report the car Aruz fled in as stolen, and they give the license plate number. However, in New York City, stolen cars can only be reported in person and with proof of ownership. This prevents pranksters or vengeful people, such as angry spouses, from falsely reporting a vehicle as stolen to cause problems for the real owner. Edit
