sorry guys, i didn't read all the pages here as i do not want to read any spoilers as I am watching season 6 now.

I am one of the earliest to watch 24 since it started airing season 1. Back then I uses IRC to download episodes. Haha..talk about ancient p2p. I watched it only a few days after it aired in US and keep chasing it because this is very very good TV series.

I do not like watch dramas as I do not have the time to spend on catching up with dramas. But 24 is exceptional. This is totally awesome series that need a lot of planning, careful directing and editing to pull it off. I have stopped a long time after season 2 and just started to catch back for the past few months.

Totally engrossing series but I find it really surprising that it does not get as good ratings as it deserve in US. It did not even enter top 10 ratings. Even the lousy NCIS (ori) is in top ten. What's wrong with americans? They don't want to watch a movie with intelligent plot? NCIS is not bad but it is just some normal cop+forensic kinda stuffs.

Also the thing I dislike about 24 is that people keep on dying. The only person that doesn't die is Jack Bauer. Everyone else just drop like flies. One or two season, then their character is kill off. Really disheartening when you start to felt for them. For example in season 5......spoiler.....Edgar die.....just like that. What a waste.
