From the first 5 minutes to the end, season 5 is the best series of what is my favourite TV show of all.
i remember during the trailers last year for season five, they said the first 10 minutes will be some of the most nerve-wracking for the whole season-they were telling the truth

Only problem with season 5 was that right after you know who gets shot, they go to commercial break and he's doing a commercial for Allstate.Kind of blows the suspense.

Hey showstopper, do you know if the season 5 dvds have any season 6 previews on it? Is it worthwhile to buy it? I've already seen the online preview.
its the same preview (the one with the honda car) but the extras (deleted scenes and the other extras) are worth it i think

The four episodes to open Season 5 were fantastic, but overall it falls behind the first three seasons in awesomeness.
I don't think so but there are a couple of reasons why i can see your opinion-the first three seasons mainly had one or two big ideas that Jack was involved with, whereas season 5 had a couple. I think that the main bad guys in season 5 made it awesome because no body realized it

critics and fans seem to agree that S5 was the besti agree that it had the most consistent adrenaline rush but i enjoy each season for different reasons. i'm not all that interested in watching S1 again...it's important to know Jack from that time period but isn't all that re-watchable for me.however, i love S2-4 for totally different reasons. e.g. S3 = airborne virus...just about the scariest thing i can think of, i'd much rather get blown to bits by a bomb i know that's comingS2 = Kim Bauer, white shirt, cold and wet...that is all.

i can't pick my favorite season either. Each season is great in its own aspects. Season 1 is important to know what happened to Terri (i mean they pretty much say what happened to her, but its great to see how Nina evolved into who she was)The other seasons each have their own thing they bring to the table-true with kim in the shirt, the airborne virus, then in season 4 and 5 you have other awesome issues.

I don't read what critics say, but most everyone I know thinks 1-3 are the best three seasons of the series.Season 5 just got too over the top. Gregory Itzen was fantastic, but I wasn't a fan of the president involved in terrorist acts. Also, Jack landing a plane on the highway is probably the most absurd moment in the series.

let me say something right here:i think, as most know, that 24 is the best tv show out there, by far. I love every season and 5 was no exception. the budget for season 5 (i think its a little higher now) was 3 million per episode which is a lot, but not too much for an hour long show that uses a lot of expensive items with many actors. The whole sequence of the plane landing on the high way was a cool idea but it looked like a cartoon-i realize it is a tv show with a limited budget but i thought that scene looked horrible and they should have not shown the outside of the plane, but just everybody on the inside.

I agree the airplane was executed horribly, but I also hated the idea. The season was still great to watch, and I can't wait for January 14, but not quite as good as the first 3.

Hey guys.. just noticed that the first 3 episodes of season 6 have been leaked online.Check it out! http://www.alluc.org/Just click on "TV Shows", then "24 Hours", then "Season 6". The videos are flash files ala YouTube, so you don't even need to download anything!
IF YOU ARE A FAN OF THE SHOW DO NOT WATCH THE EPISODES BEFORE THEY AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THESE EPISODES WERE DOWNLOADED ILLEGALY AND SHOULD NOT BE WATCHED!One of the best aspects of 24 is that you have to wait between the episodes and that makes the drama so much better. For instance, in season 4, i looked up all of the spoilers. I knew when Tony was coming back, when Michelle was coming back...i knew everything. I didn't enjoy it as much. Then in season 5 i didn't look up spoilers and it was so much better.

I thought season 5 was the best of the series, narrowly edging out season 3. Mind you, I didn't really like the first 6-8 episodes of Season 5, but I thought the ending was extremely strong, if you can buy into the president thing.

First of all, who cares when you watch it? Personally I'd rather watch it commercial free. Looking up the spoilers is much different than watching the actual episodes before they air. Besides, it's only the first 3 episodes, so I'll still be tuning in to watch the rest of the 4 hour premier. And who exactly are you to say that they shouldn't be watched. I posted the link.. why not let people decide for themselves if they want to wait or not.

I am saying that they should not watch. It is an opinion. I'm not saying that they can't watch. There is a huge difference. All i am saying is watching it before hand is bad. These episodes were illegaly downloaded, not that anybody cares because who wouldn't watch because of that. But one of the reasons that 24 is amazing is becuase of the suspense between episodes and between commercials. Have you seen the first couple of seasons that were commercial free? Those episodes weren't nearly as good. You can watch them and of course i have no way of stopping you, but to me it is like cheating on a test. The premier is one week away, and lets face it. Watching it now in your room will be a hell of a lot less exciting then waiting a week and watching it on a TV with friends.
