24 SEASON 1

Telling others (whom you've never met and know nothing about) how to parent -- well this thread is officially a lost cause.
 
I haven't seen the scene in question, but it aired on FOX. It's not like HBO or some R-Rated movie. I can't imagine it was that bad.
 
While I don't want to judge anyone's parenting, the thought that a 15 year old could see that scene and not understand what was going on, is pretty naive.
 
my daughter is VERY ditzy...but c'mon folks. I was seeing FRIDAY THE 13th movies when I was younger...so all this fuss over a fricking tV show is abit too much

I saw lots of stuff when I was 7 and 8 years old that could be equated to the "violence" seen on night-time TV today. It's not the violence/subjectmatter on the TV that effects kids it's how the parent deals with it or whether they are involved.

Me thinks TMoQH needs to pull the warp-core out of his ass and stop judging people's parenting skills based on what benign primetime network TV shows they let them watch, with their parents.
 
Don't worry Rojohen. Most of these comments about my parenting skills no doubt come from those who don't have children. My son is a very mature kid, and hey, he loves Star Trek and DC COMICS, is a big time Chargers fan and his favorite show is LOST.

He amazed the comic book store owner last week while explaining why he, my 7 year old, thought Final Crisis was awful and how he thinks the pre-crisis era was the best...really...he said this. And his favorite character, outside of Hal Jordan, is the superman from earth two...

So he watches 24?

what I suggest these 'parenting' experts do is watch "THE OFFSPRING" episode of TNG, and pay attention.

Okay, seriously this has to take the cake.

We had a poster who hated Enterprise with a passion yet watched every episode so he could proclaim how right he was and post about it more often than even the show's biggest fans.

We have posters who hated the new Star Trek movie in advance, watched it with the intent to hate every minute of it so they could tell everyone how right their self-fulfilling prophecies were, and with every achievement the movie makes these haters continue to move the goalpost back.

We had Jayson who posted numerous bizarre threads, including his internet adventures to lose his virginity, even if it was to pregnant girl who wanted a male-male-female threesome.

We had Good Will Riker and his amazing race card.

And now we have someone who apparently is the one and only authority on good parenting, and is judging someone else's parenting based solely on a kid (that the poster knows nothing about) being allowed to watch 24.
 
SPOILERS..so beware..

...
Its like watching an all star episode...Jack, Terri, Kim, Nina, Tony, Mason, the lesbien killers, David..sherry!!!...

You knew "Naked Mandy"
was a cold bitch when she showed little emotion after they shot her lover..
Mandy's attempts at persuading Bridgit against further extortion are in vain, and Mandy relents. Gaines agrees to pay the additional money, and the three return to the desert and retrieve the card. Shortly after thanking Bridgit for the card, Gaines has her shot by a hidden sniper. He has the sniper put Mandy in his crosshairs as well, and then asks her if she's "in" for an unspecified job to be carried out during the following summer. Mandy, who has become visibly upset by Bridgit's death, reluctantly agrees, and Gaines calls off the sniper. As Gaines and Mandy prepare to leave the scene, Gaines, seeing that Mandy is in tears, attempts to reassure her by saying that he had no other choice. She says nothing as they drive off, and is not seen throughout the remainder of Day One.

Ok some but you'ld think she'd get back at them.
 
They do sex-ed in FIRST GRADE now?!?! I remember getting it in fifth grade and I was born in 1981!
 
Season one still had the best 24 villain -- Gaines. But then they changed gears and had him working for the Drazens, and thus every season after that there was a bad guy who turns out to be working for another bad guy, and sometimes even yet another bad guy above him.

Michael Massee, who played Gaines, gives great villainy. Much as I love Heath Ledger's Joker, I'd really like to see Massee playing the role - he totally looks the part.
 
No, in real life, while filming the movie The Crow, Michael Masse is the actor in the scene who shoots Brandon Lee with the gun that had real bullets instead of blanks. So he actually killed Brandon Lee (not his fault of course).
 
As I recall, they had made some "dummy" bullets that were real bullets with the powder removed, but the primer remained in. They fired the gun in an earlier scene which was enough to push the bullet into the chamber. Later on, using a blank, the exploding blank fired the bullet stuck in the chamber from the fired dummy bullet. So, yeah, not exactly a "real bullet", exactly, but the dummy round and the blank sort-of combined to make one.
 
Blanks still can be dangerous. Jon-Erik Hexum (of "Voyagers!" fame) jokingly shot himself in the head on the set of his show "Cover Up" and the wadding had enough force to cause hemorrhaging in his brain.

Yeah, I knew that. I was being facetious. I'd forgotten that Massee was the actor involved though. I remember reading at the time that he was deeply traumatized by it.
