h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Moving on from F19585?thread=183614 what do people think of '24'?

I haven't seen any yet, but lot's of people talk about it.

It is real edge of the seat stuff. The ticking clock all adds to the tension.

I keep changing my mind as to who is the second mole, but reckon htat Milo is ok, I now have my suspicions about Nina.

Ah, well, I was just beginning to really suspect Milo - his knowledge of those secret files last week and being known by the chap (Ford, Fisher? something beginning with F) who arranged the mission that never was in Kosovo and who consequently died reactivated my suspicions. Why are you suspicious of Nina now? What have you picked up on that I haven't?

In answer to the original question - what do we think of 24? It is excellent, the only downside to it is having to wait a whole week for the next episode!

I can't wait for next Sunday!

I just thought it odd that she left the safe house and then the bad guys moved in.

Also there is the Agatha Christie method, the person most helpful to the hero/heroine (Jack in this case) is the one what dunnit

I have to say that the entire household including the has usually spotted whodunnit long before I do .

...sorry

watched the whole thing over here...

Jack should really have shot the scriptwriters first.

They are the ones making the dumb mistakes.

any questions ??

Oh blimey! Does this mean that it is going to have an entirely unsatisfactory ending?

Don't tell the ending, but is everything explained at the end?

There seem to be a lot of dramas on at the moment which end with the viewer hanging in limbo, drawing their own conclusions - which usually means the conspiracy wins in our house!

Everything resolves. I didn't watch the series from the beginning, so I have no idea how many continuity problems there might have been.

I do like a happy ending

Happy for whom?

it's august now, it must be over.

...so how was it??

No it hasn't finished yet. The 9pm to 10pm hour is covered this weekend, so that means another three weeks of shows to a conclusion.

I'm now only watching it because I've watched it from the beginning, and I'm not going to give up the investment of my time over the last 5 months and not know how it ends. Ultimately its rubbish, as there simply can't be that many plot turns, developments, twists and betrayals in one 24 hour day.

It may be far fetched, but its still a ripping yarn!

True, but can't we have the hour when they just sit around and scratch their arse or something.

And another thing, have you seen any of them eat anything so far? No, I thought not.

i found out which one of them isnt going to be in the next series becuase [he she or it] had [his hers or its] contract ceased! because they died! while i was holidaying in america! how angry am I?

and if my mum doesnt video the one tomorrow night i will scream

What died IRL? Or died in a script meeting?

(and don't say who it is)

I know someone who's writing a book about 24...

their character is killed off. i think its at the end of the first series.

I watched it properly for the first time last week - it's fantastic!

Dunno about Dennis Hopper's accent though...

er...not wishing to detract...honest.

DO watch it till the end, then let's ALL go shoot the scriptwriters.

Penultimate episode last night, I'm in smug mode, see post 2.

Agatha Christie may have written to a formula, but her priniciple holds true!
