Off the top of my head here's what I remember about 24 after my real time watch and 2 re-watches (but none in the past few years).
SPOILERS - DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED MAF
Season
1- I remember fairly vividly, Palmer running, Jack, Teri, Kim, etc. Fantastic climax, villain, etc. Jack is a CTU agent and Palmer is a Senator?
2- Comes back so strong - the first huge shock is only a few minutes into the first ep. Kim looks lovely. Cougar storyline w/ Johnny Drama? Nuke, Jack flys it to explode and sacrifice himself but Mason is there...what else? Oh yeah now it's President Palmer and Jack is out of CTU.
3- Jack is back @ CTU but w/ a partner who dates Kim. They go underground in Mexico/Salazar/Prison...some great scenes, lots of moles and a double mole? Nina back and dead or is that S2? I remember liking the hell out of this season.
4- GOAT scene when Jack storms the compound and rescues Heller and Audrey. Jack is now dating her... working for Heller? Also great scene w/ Nuke football (in the desert?) Air Force One is shot down... Habib Marwan! What else?
5- Getting fuzzy... Not sure where Jack is... China? Yes - he gets captured in last ep of S4, no? Tony? Michelle? Hmm.
6-
7-
8-
haha this sums up my feelings of 24 very accurately. 4>2>1>3>>>5>>>>>>>>>>>>>the rest.
I was a HUGE fan of the show at the start but really lost interest in it by the end. With the exception of a few epic moments (pretty much all of s5 ep 1 and Jack attacking the motorcade) it was just more of the same and suffering badly from diminishing returns.
However, it's been a long time and i'm happy to see the show come back in a shorter format.
