Movie Review: Challenge Falls on Writers to Try and Keep 24 Fresh
Summary: 5 Stars
After six seasons, you can tell that it has become much more difficult for the writers to keep the surprises and storylines fresh. Other reviewers here have pointed out similar aspects of the show that have started to fall short a bit. Let me, however, emphasize that season six of 24, in my opinion, is still a terrific season, and it still beats out the first two seasons (ah, the Kim Bauer years).
I quickly discovered that part of the problem is that "surprise" events were not surprises. In fact, many preludes to those scenes have become predictable. The writers really need to come up with new gimmicks to try and keep the viewer on his/her toes.
However, the action and suspense is still as good as ever. Jack Bauer is simply fun and exciting to watch. This is not a guy you want to cross, and he's always willing to place himself in the most dangerous of situations.
The storyline starts out when Jack Bauer is suddenly returned home after nearly two years in a Chinese prison. Even he is unsure why he's being sent back. Turns out that he is trade-bait to a Middle Eastern terrorist in order to prevent further terrorist attacks. Of course, as usual, nothing is what it seems, and it turns out that CTU and the president have made a serious error. However, as always, the terrorists have also made a serious error by bringing Jack Bauer back. He's simply the best there is at what he does.
Chloe is back for another season. As annoying as she tends to be, she's a terrific character and Mary Lynn Rajskub still plays her brilliantly. She's queen of the deadpan expressions and quips expressing her irritation at those who ask her to do things that she's already doing. She's also become Jack's closest friend and confidant. Jack still relies on her heavily, and being the wizard with computers that she is, you can't blame him.
James Morrison is back as CTU director, Bill Buchanan. Morrison is so believeable in his role, that you sometimes forget that he's acting. His new wife and NSA director, Karen Hayes, is equally as effective by British actress Jayne Atkinson.
DB Woodside is back as (surprise...not) as the new president, Wayne Palmer. He also plays his part well, but you have to wonder how he got to be the president. He has some experience as David's chief of staff, but I just found it a bit of a leap for him to fill the shoes of a president. It seemed the writers were looking at this more as a convenience for the plot than anything else.
Veteran actor, Powers Boothe, is great as Vice-President Noah Daniels. He plays Daniels as a bit power-hungry, and he becomes anxious to take the place of Palmer when he feels that Palmer is not standing up to the governments who support terrorism.
One new member of the cast this season is actress Marisol Nichols as Nadia Yassir who plays an assistant director at CTU. She runs into some problems due to her Middle Eastern background, and as you might quickly guess, becomes a target during a mole hunt within CTU.
Another veteran actor who comes in the middle of the season is Ricky Schroder as CTU field operative, Mike Doyle. Doyle shows a tough streak that borders on the brutal. A bit unrealistic aspect of the story is when Nadia begins to develop feelings for Doyle who brutally interrogates her. Somehow, I don't think she would be attracted to him after such an experience.
Season 6 is still a heck of a ride, and it's a lot of fun to watch, still keeping you on the edge of your seat and anxiously waiting to watch the next episode to find out what happens. But 24 has probably reached a point when they need something new and fresh.
One thing I feel they need to do is completely change locations. I mean, exactly how often is Los Angeles the target of terrorist attacks?!? They should try and move the show to New York or Washington D.C. I'm sure this would cost them some money, but it would also help the show gain a new, fresh approach.
They also need to come up with a new terror device. We've already seen nuclear devices and biological threats several times. The writers need to think about moving away from these and come up with something else.
And lastly, they need to come up with new terrorists. In six seasons, they're almost all Middle Eastern and/or Russian. They need to start using other demographics.
Let me point out that compared to most shows out there right now, 24 is still one of the best despite the slight fall-off this season is certain areas, which is why I still give it five stars. Now, if I were to compare seasons, season 6 would be 4th for me after seasons three, four, and five. But Jack Bauer is so fun and exciting to watch, and Kiefer Sutherland seems to get better and better with each subsequent season, you still can't go wrong with season six of 24.
