Season 1:

>Jack's kill count stays at 7 people for over half the season, and there's only 3 more on top of his total kill count when he completely loses it in the final hour

>Jack can only speak English, he screams at the slavs who communicate and taunt him in Serbian

>He fights like a bitch; without his gun he's useless

>The whole plot is stopping an assassination attempt on a US Senator while trying to get his family back from kidnappers related to the plot

>Using computers to triangulate a phone's location takes over half an hour in real time

>The sunrise in the show takes over three episodes to fully complete, as does the sunset

Season 6:

>Jack kills more people in the small space of 27 minutes from 2:51 AM - 3:18 AM than he does in the entire 24 hours of the first season. He ends up killing over 5x the amount of people he did in S1 and hardly bats a sweat the whole time, certainly doesn't lose it like he did the first time round

>Jack is suddenly fluent in Arabic, Russian, German, and probably Chinese too

>He also knows Kung-Fu and can kick a whole trained army's ass

>A fucking ATOMIC BOMB is detonated in Los Angeles, killing over 10,000 people and Jack has to deal with an endless river of Slimes, Ruskies and Chinks

>CTU can triangulate a phone call within a few words that are spoken

>The "sunrise" in the final episode is impossible, as it's over half an hour before the "sunrise" in the first episode

Why the fuck do action shows feel the need to flanderize over time and forget what made them good in the first place? If they kept going the way they did for the first three seasons it would've been a lot better and probably not cancelled after it jumped the shark.

Are all Americans this stupid?

I meant in that season, not in the whole show. In the first episode of S6 you see the sun rise about half an hour in, then the final episode of that season the sun rises a good 30 - 40 minutes earlier on the next day. The biggest difference you're going to see is about 2 - 3 minutes when the Earth pulls away the most from the sun, not a fucking half hour.

Did it get cancelled? I'm pretty sure it just ended

It's getting rebooted with a new cast and no Jack Bauer.


 No.279428

Never watched the show, but some of this shit does make sense.

The whole series isn't a consecutive 8 days. In terms of narrative there's a gap of several years between season 1 and the final season. Within in that time Jack Bauer could have easily learned a few languages, easily learned how to fight better, and crime fighting technology with regards to tracking phones and such could have conceivably improved to the point that it doesn't take three hours to triangulate a phone.

I heard about that. I'm pretty sure I heard them say it was going to be a 'progressive' reboot too, for the CURRENT YEAR.


 No.279457

>>279427

Then what's the fuckin'point?


 No.279461

>>279457

So they can use a relatively popular series to push their diversity agenda.


 No.279471

>>279461

Has that ever, ever worked?

It has to be cheaper not to make another season of 24 rather than waste time and money making something which no one will watch.


 No.279510

>>279471

It's not about the money, it's about sending a message.


 No.279514

>>279510

A message that no one will watch or care about outside of the ideologically imbred hipster ecochamber


 No.279515

>>279514

I didn't say it was a good message, or a good business strategy.

Are they just hoping that if they shanghi enough established franchises and inject their pozz'd ideology in them eventually they will create something that isn't heavy handed garbage?

Or is it just these people lack any original thoughs of their own and can only regurgitate tumblr memes?
