>that time Jack murdered a guy at ctu and cut his head off to get in with some criminalsHow did they get away with this?
I never watched this show. Any good?
>>224091561It was a different hour back then.
>>224091574It's peak boomer dad kino.
>>224091561It was a better time
>>224091574It's great. Some seasons are just okay but the good ones are phenomenal
>>224091561Post 9/11 you could get away with anything as long as terrorism needed to be stopped.
>>224091574it's fucking PEAKthe first season is a bit slow but it only get better
THEY'RE CUMMING ON US!!!
>mfw the terrorists reveal their ninth contingency plan
>>224091615Nowadays you can just get away with anything, no scapegoat required
>>224091574I started wathcing it recently. Awesome show. I can only describe it as kinetic. And impossible to watch just one episode.
>24 episodes a year for 8 years in a row, minus that year they had the strike>About 6.5 of the 8 seasons were kino, and the remaining 1.5 were still alrightWe have to go back
literally the only thing i know of this show is that meme scene where he blasts an innocent dude in the leg and starts screaming THEIR SHOOTING AT US THEIR SHOOTING AT USalways makes me laugh
>>224092906Such a stupid scene. He could have just fired a couple of shots in the air and it would have had the same effect.
>>224091615this. iam and oldfag and remembering how the chuds desperately tried to justify torture as appropiate.
>>224093149And risk hitting a passing pigeon? Anon, I'm removing you from active duty. Hand in your gun, your CTU access card and your secret illuminati father and brother. NOW DAMMIT, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
>>224091574its blatant propaganda slop but it's cheesy and very fast paced so it's stupid fun.
>>224091561https://youtu.be/ntYCR4TAuEg?t=128
>>224093726>Season 2>CTU is trying to track down a nuclear bomb>Kim has to run away from mountain lions and creepy prepper guysKINO
>>224091561Remember when LA was literally nuked and it was never mentioned again after a few hours
>>224093211torture is appropriate.your enemies should not be humans. otherwise you setup your own collapse later to those you spared.war should be purely based on genocide, any other option will only cause your death.
>>224094249>LA gets nuked>no one really notices or remembersThat actually makes sense, I mean Have you BEEN to LA?!
>>224094214I feel like I'm the only person who has S2 as their favorite. #1 character solidified his spot, peak Cuthbert (cringe ass plotline though), Jack's best waifu (outside of his sister in law who had to settle for his bluetooth bro just to see Jack at Thanksgivings), nukes before they became overused, and I guess Jigsaw too
You used to be able to torture terrorists and kill their families and still have a 90% approval rating
>>224094959foreign policy barely matters to voters. not even to liberals. voters dont punish a sitting president for bombing mud huts or shitting on denmark, thats just expected from a global superpower.and 9/11 gave him a lot of leeway on how to "handle" the towelheads.what matters is the economy and feeling of public safety. bombing baghdad was a show of force to assure people of the righteous cause.and the country was just recovering from the dotcom bubble when he started his term. And he went out the door before the housing market crash. bush got insanely lucky.
>>22409156124 just amps me up. Same with Blue Bloods. I have become boomer. All must fear me.
>>224094959The fuck do you mean used to?
>>224091574They quite literally do not make shows like this anymore. It is a classic, even if some seasons are a little retarded
>>224091561HOW does this nigga keep letting his wife/daughter get kidnapped so many times???
>>224094631It's my second favorite after 5. Everything outside of the Kim stuff is excellent.
>>224091561>that episode where the bad guys uses an Amnesty International lawyer to stop Jack from torturing a suspect>CTU release the suspect and Jack resigns from his job so he can torture him as a private citizen to avoid getting the government in trouble
>>224094631>ctu analyst that dies after getting brought out of a coma to give tony the password to some file>kim's boyfriend that loses a leg in a car crash>arab agent that gets beaten to death after saving jack's ass >autistic computer hacker that falls off a roof and cracks his head>palmer's advisor that gets paralyzed after falling off a railingshit was dark af and an incredible follow-up to the first season. jack going on a killstreak to save the world just hours after having a torture-induced heart attack was pure kino.
>>224091561>It's a Jack tortures someone episode>It's a The First Lady is a total cunt episode>It's a Jack is barely in the episode because he's driving somewhere episode>It's a They try to kill the President episode>It's a "I'm taking charge of this operation, CTU answers to me now" episode>It's a Jack has a drug problem episode>It's a Kim runs away from mountain lions episode>It's a Tony fucking dies episode>It's a Jack spends almost a whole episode screwing his girlfriend episode>It's a The terrorist mastermind actually answers to a another, more dangerous terrorist mastermind episode>It's a Everyone at CTU fucking dies (except for Chloe) episode>It's a Tony comes back from the dead episode>It's a Jack shoots protestors episode>It's a Jack becomes a terrorist episode>It's a Jack goes on the run episode>It's a Jack says "DAMN IT" episode
>>224091561Was the decapitee White or something else
>>224091574it was the first TV show to do hollywood style michael bay action scenes very well.It was hardcore department of homeland security propaganda but still kino with great action and surprisingly good writing on top of that.
>>224091561>How did they get away with this?Simple, he beheaded a pedo.
>>224096354white but affiliated with (white) domestic terrorists + a child rapist
That time Jack executed Chappelle aka the priest from Sopranos cause a terrorist told him to.
>>224096334>It's a Jack starts a prison riot to bust out a terrorist for interrogation
>>224096419What season was that. I vaguely remember it.
>>224096419>White terrorist rapistsOk so its jewish bullshit then
>>224096427that was a tense one, where they made prisoners took over and forced the guards to play russian roulette right?
>>224096427>quits heroin cold turkey>starts a prison riot >gets his mexifu killed>virus plan backfires catastrophically>almost kills an innocent girl to stop the main villain>forced to execute his boss>best friend gets sent to jail for treason>had to chop off his partner and daughter’s boyfriend’s handdef one of Jack's roughest days
>>224091561>teacup grip
>>224093211Explain to me how it’s not appropriate?
>>224094249Would you even be able to look directly at a nuclear blast from that close without going blind? Also wouldn't the radioactive fallout affect you from where Jack was?
>>224098136>Explain to me how it’s not appropriate?Because using is how you get bad intel, and bad intel is how you get the neoconservatives to convince everyone else to destabilize the Middle East.
>>224092465It was revolutionary for TV.>>224094631The Muslim guy who marries into the white family is actually not the bad guy! It's the evil white family. Not a fan of S2 but George Mason subplot was fantastic.>>224096425Loved that. Chappelle was such a weasel.>>224096576First half of season 3 was so good.
For me it's when Jack shoots his old family friend's wife in the leg and she *still* agrees with JackI kneel, and not because he also shot me in the leg. That is besides the point.
>>224098136There is no point in western civilization or humanity if you're going to act like a baboon.
>>224092465>minus that year they had the strikethey made the Redemption movie instead lolit wasn't particularly good but it wasn't bad either
>>224099520>if you kill your enemies they'll win
>it's Jack shoots up president's motorcade and kidnaps him episode
>>224100446It's for slaves, servants, and the damned to be bound by any feud. You have "enemies" so others can experience real life.
>>224092308it's true...
>>224099520Fight fire with fire. We can go back to being civilized once we’ve wiped out all the muslims and communists.
