Every episode represents an hour of real time, thus one season represents one day. It always deals with terrorism, so I guess it is playing into today's headlines. Usually it almost panders to the ideology of conservatives (it is on the Fox network...), but this season -- well its not a clear and cut. Is anyone else following it this season?

Season one was definitely the best up to this point. Some of the other seasons didn't really flow too well. This season has been very well paced. And it lacks the stupid subplots that other seasons had (like in season 3 [or was it four] where the director of CTU's daughter had some sort of mental disorder and killed herself -- it had nothing to do with anything and added nothing to the big picture, yet it took up a bunch of time in several episodes). Thus far I have been very pleased with this season -- its only half over, so maybe they can still screw it up, but I've been very pleased. I missed last season, but my brother has it on DVD so I'm going to watch it over Spring Break next week.

Unregistered	I watched Season 1 and found it awesome. Season 2 was kind of bad... and Season 3... never got passed the first episode... I've not watched 24 ever since. I think the whole show just got really messed up at that point.

It's beginning to get a little ridiculous. It is very ridiculous -- and the whole premise of the show is ridiculous (despite how "real" certain politicians have tried to make it) -- but that's what makes the show awesome. Ridiculous leads to awesome! Isn't anyone watching this season? I feel all alone...

So if you live in, oh I don't know, Edinburgh, and you happen to be a certain Phil Collins look-a-like, you can probably watch it easily online without resorting to piracy. I predict that by the end of this season, they will strap Jack to a missile and shoot in him into the air to deactivate a nuclear bomb while it is in flight as he writes a translation of the Ramayana and wins the Super Bowl.
