24: Season 5

Remember it starts this Sunday on Sky One

Ironmonkey can you give me a brief recap of S4, as I never saw the end of it

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 06 Feb 2006, 19:08

You never saw the end of it? Go out and buy it now!

Or just download the last few episodes. Trust me, the last episode especially is one you really don't want to miss before starting to watch Season 5.

And while you're at it, just get downloading Season 5 as well! I am almost 7 episodes ahead - the 7th is airing tonight in the USA so I will be watching it tomorrow night at home.

I hate having to sit through stupid Sky adverts (which are never in the designated place within the program, just so they can fit more in) so I don't bother watching it on Sky anymore...

I may pick up S4 at Play (its' £18 isn't it?)
S3 is very good but it got a bit unbelievable at times IMO. S4 was scary (what I saw of it)

Can't remember how far I got in, probably over 1/2 way.

Can't wait for episode 7 of the 5th season to appear. Come on VeryCD buggers. :mrgreen:

Oh yes, I got a bit bored with 24 after seasons 2 and 3... (which I never completed at it's original airing schedule... but I revisited it after season 4).

But season 4 was great, and S5 is great so far.

Only got 1 more ep of 24: S3 to go!
The last but 1 ep was very good!

Check my thoughts on the last episodes of 24: S4 in the review thread.

Ironmonkey, what did you think of Episodes 1-2?

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 19 Feb 2006, 22:32

Episodes 1 & 2? You are so far behind!

Haven't you got DSL?

I thought they were excellent & I love the show even more every time it airs...

But really mate, you should catch up to episode 9 like the rest of us!

Yeah Ironmonkey I have Broadband

Hey Ironmonkey/Eva, can you give me a brief rundown of what happened in Eoisode 4 of 24: S5, as I set the video wrong the other week and missed it (for some reason 24 was said to be starting an hour later on Sky, recorded it an hour later and got Star Trek instead)

Bradavon: Illegal P2P Talk removed!

But does Grim use torrent ?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 Feb 2006, 17:43

Nope Tom

What is it?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 27 Feb 2006, 17:45

BitTorrent is both the name of a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution client application and also the name of the file sharing protocol itself, both of which were created by programmer Bram Cohen. BitTorrent is designed to widely distribute large amounts of data without incurring the corresponding consumption in costly server and bandwidth resources.

Basically it allows you to download TV shows at extreme speeds.

No more talk of "blatant" methods for downloading illegal software, music, movies etc . . .

By all means discuss the pros and cons of P2P though.

grim_tales wrote:Nope Tom What is it?

P2P in itself is not illegal but it's often used for illegal means so time do put your mod hat on if you see talk such as that going on.

BitTorrent is the latest version of P2P which stands for Peer 2 Peer and is the engine (for want of a better word) used for this. Napster is another example.

The last episode was just great. Who'd thought it, eh? Jack Bauer and RoboCop, together at last!

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 04 Mar 2006, 10:41

Yeah but Jack will kick RoboCop's ass...

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 04 Mar 2006, 10:44

IM what do you think of President Logan? He really is a spineless goon compared to Palmer and wouldnt be a good Pres in real life, IMO. Somehow the fact he is a contrast to Palmer is good for the show though.

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 04 Mar 2006, 15:42

He's useless!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 04 Mar 2006, 15:48

Yeah!

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 05 Mar 2006, 00:55

His own government cronies would have Logan killed.
