Looking around the fanpop 24 fan page the other day, I discovered a 24 30-day challenge a 24-obsessed user (like me!) Jlhfan624 had started a few years ago. It intrigued me so I thought I would do it....in 24 hours. Here it is:
How did toi come about being a fan?
My parents watched it when I was younger and were obsessed with it, I saw the airport scene in Season 5 and it stuck with me, like 10 years later! I remembered the clothes Chloe O'Brian was wearing, everything! I thought it was a just a White House government drama, but I was happy to be wrong. On February 7th, 2017 my mom got sick when we were supposed to be at a school thing and I opened amazone, amazon looking for something to watch, I saw 24 and my brother and I thought "our parents loved this, I'll try it" I became hooked forever. I binge-watched that entire season in one jour (as I did with many other seasons) and 24 became one of the best things ever in my life! (In pop culture it definitely is!) Not meaning to be melodramatic, it's just the way this awesome montrer is!
favori season?
It's close between S4 and S5, but S4 is my favorite!
Favorite male character?
Jack Bauer, is there any other choice?! No words can describe TV's best character.
favori female character?
Chloe O'Brian, she's awesome!
favori season finale?
I loved the season 4 finale, but I also liked the S1 and S8 finale too.
Best what the heck moment?
Michelle and David dying and especially the Logan and Nina reveals.
What did toi think of 24: Redemption?
It was okay. Good bridge to the suivant season. All 24 is amazing!
favori episode?
Out of all that awesomeness?! Gonna have to be par season, but even then its multiple episodes! (Overall I guess it's 2x15)
S1: Ep. 24
S2: Ep. 15
S3: Ep. 15-18 The Hotel!
S4: Ep. 4, 8, and 24
S5: 1, 3, 23, 24
S6: Ep. 1-4
S7: Ep. 1-4, 12-13
S8: Ep. 24
LAD: Ep. 12
What 24 DVD's do toi own?
ALL OF THEM! Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Live Another jour and Redemption.
Aside from DVD's, do toi own any other 24 merchandise?
I have two Jack Bauer posters, CTU Ultimate Guide, 24 seasons 1 and 2 unofficial guides, almost all the 24 Declassified novels, all the 24 official guides, a phone case, a Bauer Power t-shirt. I plan to keep expanding my collection in the future!
Most emotional moment?
I have to choose?! David, Edgar, Michelle, Ryan, George, Audrey, Teri, Renee's deaths, George and Jack in the plane and Jack's emotional conversations with Kim, when Nina told Jack that Kim was dead and Chloe and Jack at the end of Season 8.
What season had the best musique score?
Season 1, 5, 7, and 8. Sean Callery's musique was spot-on. Especially when Nina told Jack that Kim was dead.
favori couple?
Tony Almeida and Michelle Dessler.
Jack's best woman?
Jack picks some great women! Renee Walker would have to be my haut, retour au début choice though.
favori duo?
Jack and Chloe, the dream friendship. Then Jack and Tony because they were awesome in S1-S4 and S7.
favori villain?
Nina Myers and sherry Palmer.
favori minor character?
Jamey Farrell, Dina Araz, The Warners. I loved just about every character on 24.
Least favori character?
Charles Logan, Janis Gold, Miles Papazian, Noah Daniels, Cheng Zhi...I hate all of them with a passion!
Unpopular opinion?
I didn't mind Teri's amnesia, I think the whole cougar thing is way over done. I l’amour sherry and Nina, I liked Season 6 and I didn't like most Presidents, I loved Kim Bauer too!
favori subplot?
Ok, I can't decide...by season:
S1: The Palmers and CTU.
S2: The Warners, George Mason.
S3: The Hotel and Tony Almeida and Michelle Dessler.
S4: The Araz Family.
S5: The Logan Family.
S6: Chloe and Morris O'Brian.
S7: Tony Almeida and the FBI.
S8: Renee Walker and CTU.
Jack's most epic moment?
So many... The best moment is probably Iron man Jack in S8 though.
What are your 24 movie wishes?
For there to be a movie (A 24 ou even a 12 episode season would be even better) in the first place!
It has to have Kiefer Sutherland playing Jack Bauer (as the main character) who has to be taking down terrorists and bad guys while preventing their threats.
I want all the original, main, important, not dead and some maybe dead (Wayne!) characters back, like Mike, Chase, Kim, Aaron, Mandy and all the rest.
Tony, Jack, and Chloe working together.
Taking place in the USA, plus specifically L.A. again!
Happier ending.
Real time with ticking clock.
An amazing villain and President.
Long movie.
Maybe a few flashbacks (To date, 24 only had 1 flashback. (see video below)
No new A-list actors and actresses.
Not super liberal please!
favori actor/actress, to appear on the show?
Kiefer Sutherland! He's AMAZING!!!!!
favori quote?
So many amazing citations a dit to and par Jack, but it has to be this Season 2 quote par George Mason: “Come on, Jack, you’ve had a death wish ever since Teri died. The way things have been going for toi the past an and a half, this probably doesn’t look like such a bad idea. toi get to go out in a blaze of glory, one of the greatest Heroes of all time, leave your troubles behind. toi still have a life, Jack. toi wanna be a real hero, here’s what toi do: toi get back down there, and toi put the pieces together. toi find a way to forgive yourself for what happened to your wife. toi make things right with your daughter, and toi go on serving your country. That’d take some real guts.” I l’amour George Mason!
Runner ups:
Chloe: "Next time do it right. Use a Newman filter so the subject doesn't see red lights flashing everywhere. Amateur."
George Mason: Yeah, yeah. I'm talking to my boss Jack. Right, toi stupid chump.
Chloe: "Oh yeah, I'm jealous! Please, won't toi stare at my cul, ass as I walk away?"
George Mason: Nice work, Jack. Have toi ever noticed there's a body count everywhere toi go?
Jack Bauer: Today is the seconde anniversary of Victor Drazen's death.
George Mason: Happy anniversary!
George: salut hey. Service is bad enough on this flight, toi don't have to shoot me!
Jack Bauer: George what the hell are toi doing here?
George: Felt like taking a ride.
Paramedic: I need all of your clothes off, sir!
George Mason: You're not even going to buy me dinner?
Jack Bauer: I have killed two people since midnight, I haven't slept in over 24 hours. So maybe… maybe toi should be a little plus afraid of me than toi are right now.
Jack Bauer: toi probably don't think I could force this towel down your throat, but trust me I can. All the way. Except that I'd hold onto this little bit at the end. When your stomach starts to digest the towel, I pull it out. Taking your stomach lining with it. Most people probably take about a week to die. It's very painful.
Jack: I'm gonna need a hacksaw.
Jack: Let's get something straight, kid. The only reason you're still conscious is because I don't want to carry you. Now get in the van.
Jack Bauer: (to Chloe) When toi first came to CTU, I never thought it was gonna be toi that was gonna cover my back all those years. And I know that everything that toi did today was to try to protect me, I know that. Thank you. (Crying my cœur, coeur out)
Was the series· finale· everything toi hoped/expected it to be?
Of 8, no. Maybe it was because I just needed plus 24. Live Another Day, it just left it open for plus which gave me hope, otherwise, NO!
Where does 24 rank· in your favori shows of all-time?
This is one of the easiest choices ever, it's #1 and will be forever. It's the best montrer to ever air on TV and none will even come close in a million years! 24 will always forever be my favorite. I will never, ever, EVER even entertain the thought that any montrer could possibly have half the greatness of 24, let alone as good ou better. It's the best entertainment, my lifelong passion and obsession. Somebody, I knew once a dit 24 was a boring show, and another a dit there is no way 24 could be that good and eventually I'll find better shows. That is absolute crap, none could ever compare. 24 is and will always be the best thing in pop culture!
favori Season Premiere?
5, 4, 7, 1, 6, 3, 2, 8
Least favori subplot?
Sandra Palmer as a human rights lawyer, Noah Daniels, Kim Bauer dating her psychologist, who is 20 years her senior, (Jack should have done something to him, terrible guy.)
Something toi would have changed?
Umm..More seasons! Not killing sherry so soon, plus Mandy, David running for reelection, no liberal crap in S6-S8... there a few things I'd like to change, but 24 nailed just about everything!
Best use of the silent clock?
After Teri died, it was so emotional and gripping. #2 would be Season 8's last seconds
When the franchise is over for good, how should it end Jack dead ou happy?
Happy! Please, my favori hero deserves some happiness after all he's sacrificed! If toi kill Jack Bauer, I will be so angry!
