May 18th, 2009, 10:53pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's season finale was craziness, and I found it quite good overall. A lot of things were very predictable and it felt like they wasted the last half hour, but the preceding hour and a half had a lot of action and a few good twists. To make things more sensible I'll break it down by a paragraph... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.May 12th, 2009, 12:15am | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode had a lot of action and was pretty good overall. There were plenty of plot holes and ridiculous moments, but there was enough going on that it was easy enough to overlook those things. But I'll call them out: the whole setup with the bomb made no sense. Why wouldn't they have just... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.May 4th, 2009, 09:49pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode made me want to puke. It was so preachy, cheesy, and completely over-the-top, it was ridiculous. I usually save the best for last, but literally the only great moment was the SUV with Hodges in it exploding because that really caught me by surprise. Though even in that scene, I found... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Apr 27th, 2009, 11:18pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode was hilarious, and also had some action and setup as the finale quickly approaches. But first, the reasons I found it funny...both the FBI and the President acted incredulous when they heard that Tony had breached the perimeter. Apparently they're still not aware of the fact that... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Apr 20th, 2009, 10:23pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode was craziness, in a good way. They didn't revisit the Kim/Jack thing too much, Janis was still pretty useless, and Larry's dead. I consider all of those good things. That meant the focus was on the action and the main plot, which had a couple of interesting twists. The secondary plot... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Apr 14th, 2009, 09:01am | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode was interesting. The Kim/Jack reunion happens but wasn't very climactic since she's not saving Jack right now. But I'll put money on the fact she'll be back within 3 episodes to save Jack. I wonder if there will be any lingering effects once he's saved though, since it's starting... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Apr 6th, 2009, 08:55pm | Submitted by nirajOk, I may have said it before, but I think I seriously plan to stop watching 24 once this season is over. Despite all the promise of the "rebirth of 24" after the lackluster Season 6, it feels like things are really going off the rails since this Season is not only lackluster as well, but there's no... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Mar 30th, 2009, 09:54pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode was exceedingly dull. Often that happens when there's action being setup for a future episode, but in this case it felt like nothing more than an effort to kill time. And to exacerbate the situation, there were still several ludicrous plot holes, mostly pertaining to security once... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Mar 23rd, 2009, 10:43pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode was crazy, centering mostly around Jack and Tony trying to get to the bioweapon before the Starkwood goons. There were a couple of other distractions as well. Ethan and the Taylors continued their ridiculous drama, with Ethan sayhing he was resigning and admitting he had authorized... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Mar 16th, 2009, 08:44pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode was hot and cold. Almost the entire first half was awful because it combined the worst over-actors in their worst over-acting. Renee, Larry, and Janis tried their hardest to make you groan. If that wasn't enough, the Ethan-Olivia nonsense was even more over-the-top. Thankfully, the... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Mar 9th, 2009, 11:27pm | Submitted by nirajBack on schedule this week! This week's episode was pretty good. And that was mostly all due to the last 15 minutes, and also due to the president's daughter totally slamming Ethan in what was going to be a stupid conversation, where either Allison would be so happy Ethan gave her the job in the administration,... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Mar 7th, 2009, 12:48am | Submitted by nirajI'm late on this week's 24 because I was on vacation. But here at last, is the review for the double-episode! This week's episode was a mixed bag...equal parts action/suspense and glaring plot holes. Overall I enjoyed both episodes, but the episodes were quite predictable, and there were so many major... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Feb 23rd, 2009, 09:40pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode was sweet! Tons of action, not a lot of White House scenes, a car chase, explosions, etc. Good stuff. And even better, it looks like it isn't going to ease up any next week, unless the preview was for the next few episodes (and given how much they showed, that's possible). The car... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Feb 16th, 2009, 08:37pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode was setup for next week. Seriously, if you saw next week's preview, it's clear it's going to be crazy. But as a result, this episode was quite predictable and not too interesting. The thing that could have made the episode interesting, the revelation of Sean as the mole, was poorly... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Feb 9th, 2009, 11:04pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode was was kind of a mixed bag. While I was pretty pleased with the episode overall, there was a surprising amount of moments that made me cringe. Let's start with the good. There was a lot of action, between the capture of Henry (and subsequent torture), Jack's car chase to catch Vossler,... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Feb 2nd, 2009, 08:56pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode was pretty good, though that was primarily due to one scene. The drama between Larry and Sean was over-the-top again, and the stuff with Janis and the plant manager was equally mind-numbing. And apparently the CIP device is basically a key to everything, because Dubaku went from using... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Jan 26th, 2009, 08:40pm | Submitted by nirajThis week's episode was ridiculous and I wasn't very pleased with it. Let me explain. We've already established that the stuff going on in the White House is pretty mundane and takes away from the other awesome stuff going on. Well, half this episode was at the White House. First, the President and Ethan... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Jan 19th, 2009, 11:10pm | Submitted by nirajYes, after last week's 4-episode craziness, we're back to 1 episode per week. This week's episode was not terribly exciting, though a lot of it was setup, as evidenced by the preview of next week's episode. It was an interesting episode, but I think I wasn't thrilled by it because most of the developments... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Jan 13th, 2009, 07:14pm | Submitted by nirajWith 4 hours of TV in 2 nights, it's pretty easy to fall behind with the first review. But now that I've seen all of it, I can confidently say 24 quickly reestablished why it's so addictive and awesome. The amount of plot development, twists, and chases/explosions in just 4 hours was ridiculous. In a... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Jan 4th, 2009, 09:00am | Submitted by nirajThat's right...it's time to prepare yourself to sit on the edge of your seat for another 24 hours of awesome starting next Sunday, the 11th at 8/7c. And in usual 24-style, they're starting it off with 4 hours in 2 nights. Hopefully you got to catch 24:Redemption when it aired at the end of November since... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.May 21st, 2007, 06:16pm | Submitted by nirajI'm "live"-blogging the finale starting an hour late at 8pm Central so I can avoid all commercials.

I'm marking things that were surprising with (!). On the presidential side, Lisa got discovered, the Russian president knew the data was planted(!), and the VP gets until the end of the season (minus a few minutes) to resolve the issue.
On the Jack side, he kicked... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.May 8th, 2007, 12:22am | Submitted by nirajThis week we finally got an episode which went back to the basics. Bauer kicks a bunch of ass, CTU people dying, hostage situations, double crosses...just classic 24. Apparently the writers woke up with 3 episodes left in the season. In complete contrast to yesterday's episode of Entourage, I can't think... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Apr 30th, 2007, 11:48pm | Submitted by nirajI can say that I'm glad we finally had a good episode. There was a mole, Jack was in the episode (which we'd been taking for granted) and it was pretty good overall. Tom's not only playing nice with the VP, he's helping him out! And the VP's aide proves that yes, she really is hot. Speaking of hot, Nadia... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Apr 23rd, 2007, 08:05pm | Submitted by nirajTalk about a crappy episode! There was literally nothing good in this episode.
Let's go over what was stupid about it:
- Chloe and Morris having a fight - stupid.
- Tom and the VP make nice? - stupid.
- The VP and his assistant get cozy. No surprise. - stupid.
- Nadia goes from useless hot girl... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Apr 16th, 2007, 08:04pm | Submitted by nirajIf it weren't for the last 10 minutes, this episode would have been a total waste. Nothing useful happened, and it was fairly obvious about what was going to happen to Palmer well before it actually happened.
But in the last 10 minutes the VP got to throw a wrench into Jack's plan to save Audrey,... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Apr 9th, 2007, 10:06pm | Submitted by nirajWhat can I say about this week? A lot. It finally was an interesting episode. I don't know what it is, but I still feel like these haven't been strong episodes. This episode was better for the simple fact that Jack finally got back into the action some more and kicked some ass.
The twist with the... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Apr 3rd, 2007, 08:37am | Submitted by nirajAnother episode, another post. This week, has definitely improved on what I've seen as some weak episodes the last few weeks. Hopefully it's just the start of some better episodes. It still feels weird not having Jack in the majority of the show...there's just so much stuff going on with other characters,... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Mar 26th, 2007, 10:47pm | Submitted by nirajWhat can I say about this week? It was kind of stupid. There were too many convenient and simple occurrences, like the guy easily giving up Gredenko, his brother easily going along with the grab, Gredenko giving up Fayed without a fight, the President coming out of the coma to give the order to stand... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Mar 19th, 2007, 11:05pm | Submitted by nirajIt looks like they've set out this season to reintroduce every character that's been on the past 5 seasons.
It was hilarious how Milo was using Chloe as a human breathalyzer, and how Chloe wasn't even remotely inconspicous about it.
I love how Jack gets to do whatever the hell he wants, like going... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Mar 13th, 2007, 07:12am | Submitted by nirajDefinitely an interesting episode this week.
Both Jack and Logan are injured...Jack rarely struggles to deal with pain and he looked ready to collapse.
The Logan stabbing came out of nowhere...didn't I say Logan's wife was going to suck? And why the heck is Aaron with her? That's disturbing.
It... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Mar 6th, 2007, 02:54pm | Submitted by nirajSure the season's been pretty good so far, but this episode definitely kicked it up a notch.
I did keep cringing at the fact that Logan is in this, which meant that his wife is likely going to be on soon. Sure enough, they showed her in the teaser for next week. She's got to be the worst character... - This result matched all 1 search terms/phrases.Feb 27th, 2007, 12:52pm | Submitted by nirajThis season has been totally crazy.
