Scene for me:
24 was the GOAT during its run, ppl who watch it now wont appreciate it due to numerous shows recycling what made it so good and re fining it, a la Homeland for example (which actually has writers from the show 24). but Jack Bauer will always be my personal favorite character of all time on TV

"Alias" is a girl show...Do you want to be like that girl...?
Jack Bauer is that dude...If 24 was an HBO show, the savagery would have been EPIC...
TV needs a new Jack Bauer...I am sick and tired of these other heroes simping over "their one true loves" and having moral dilemmas about what needs to be done to get the job done...
I'm gonna assume with you making that dumb-ass statement, you've never watched "Alias".nineteeneightysix

Nope...I can't watch American shows if the main character is a woman...Americans will pick a 5'5" 110 lbs pretty chick with ZERO muscle definition and have her toss 300 lb men who are just as well trained...
I mean come on...Even Mighty Mouse (UFC Flyweight Champion 116 -125 lbs) will have a HECK of a time defeating a lowly UFC heavyweight (206 - 265 lbs)...
That's a MAJOR mental block for me when it comes to women as action heroes...The story has to be INCREDIBLY well written for me to buy into it...Most regular TV Shows aren't...
For example, that new show "Sleepy Hollow," the female lead looks like a midget standing next to the male lead (and she is wearing heels, one other thing I hate about female leads, how you gon fight in heels?)...She is pretty and has ZERO muscle definition, and the writers want me to believe that little girl is capable of saving humanity against monsters...?
you're right in some ways. 24 at times wasn't that great of a show retroactively. other shows have taken a lot of the concepts 24 did and improved upon them in modern times. outside of maybe his daughter Jack Bauer would sacrifice anybody and anything to get the job done. Jack would kill innocent people if it was required engage in brutal forms of torture he was the very definition of by any means necessary.
what i'm saying is love it or hate the show 24 Jack Bauer himself is an iconic character that rises above even the show he was on. 24 failed to come up with characters equal to him. they wanted to kill him off at points but at the end of the day he was all the show had to offer so they couldn't. i mean we're talking about a man that became a drug addict to maintain his cover.
you can watch other shows and they have a few good characters on 24 the only good characters they were had were dependent of Jack Bauer and interactions with him to be worthwhile. that line he said to Mason in that clip I posted is the very definition of Jack Bauer. All these other fools were afraid to get their hands dirty and Jack wasn't. even many modern heroes today won't abandon their ideals to get the job done. Jack's ideals were get the job done no matter the cost and that was it.
Ya'll know "24" is back this May 2014 right?
Jack Bauer will be back, baby: EW has confirmed that Fox will bring back its long-running hit 24 next May.
The network will air 12 episodes of 24: Live Another Day as part of its new directive to air event programming in the summer as a way to tie together the regular seasons. A miniseries from M. Night Shyamalan called “Wayward Pines” will air after the run of 24, which will (naturally) feature the return of Kiefer Sutherland.
The 24 producers “always had the idea of maybe someday doing feature films, but as got into it they all agreed 24being compressed in two hours is not 24,” Fox Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly told reporters today. “A light bulb went off with (former Executive Producer) Howard Gordon. The spine of the 24 episodes is about 12 hours. Those were big events that occurred and little connective tissue in between.”
Unlike what happened in the regular series — where each episode represented an hour in Bauer’s action-packed life — the new version will jump around during the day, Reilly explained. And the star power could be better than ever.
“A lot of who’s who in Hollywood wanted to participate in this,” Reilly said.
Asked why the show was cancelled in 2010, Reilly admitted that it felt like the right time — at the time.
“We wanted it to go out strong,” he said. “We didn’t want to keep it limping for two more seasons.”
Though Reilly says he doesn’t envision 24 becoming a regular series, he won’t rule out its “franchise-ability.”
“People are that much more excited about this,” he said.
