    They say they're going forward with the 24 movie after Season 8, and that it'll probably film in London. Hopefully season 8 has a more satisfying ending for Jack than season 7, since if they're breaking for a movie, then there most likely won't be a season 9.

    I would like for them to end it this year and stick with movies.

    I doubt they'll go for season 9. 2yrs ago they could only get the primary cast to return for 2 more seasons being 7&8.

    I liked the way that they did season 7, I'm just glad that season 8 is being developed. I'm hyped to see the new season.

    lolz! i didn't tell them i was slysnide newkill, i just pasted it to tell them what most of us do on the site, like argue about trivial crap in a joking matter since it's all the more funny. for as i said, i like 24, we're all entitled to our opinions, and this was just another excuse to continue the summer tradition of petty crap getting in the way of good discussions, but you gotta admit, it was pretty funny.

    I've copy/pasted your/my arguments to some friends on facebook, and they think you're really insecure and R probly a loner. After all, when i "LOLZ" that's pretty much the end of the argument, but you insist on continually coming back for more. HaHa!! :)

    LOLZ! After seeing your review for T4 newkill, i confirmed what everyone else has been telling me about you. After all, i haven't posted a real insult since 11:54AM yesterday, or 5 comments of mine before this one.

    No need for the name calling. It's just a show. I still ike 24 but it has had it's moments of absurdity. But it's still a solid. I have heard The Wire is good but I am still sticking by Breaking Bad as the best show on T.V. right now.

    haha!! you think i care??? just keep it up and you'll probably be gone by the end of the month. plus it aint easy to get booted from the site, so you must've been offended by the most trivial bs ever to keep goin' this long. especially since i haven't "attacked" you personally since 11:54AM today. but by all means, your insanity is funny, & yes, it is insanity since you keep ending your so called "wise arguments" with the same type of lines expecting the result to be different. cussing & meager insults are always hilarious, just check out LeoNiDas' 300 review from last summer if you don't believe me, though he too was booted from the site for his obsession to start fights and diminish the site's 'cleanliness' if you will. And "hiding my anger?" if i was angry you'd know it, just ask most users of the site about me and some other users from summer '08 and you'll see what i mean. so keep going with your petty attacks, i love the comedy. lolz!

    A newbie? Son, i've been here for a long time. Don't let my profile fool you. I've been removed from this website back in Feb. for arguing with dickhe*ds like you. Your all caps hahaha is clearly showing how much you try to overshadow your anger. Please calm your bitch ass down. Nough said.

    hahahahha. so you're a newbie right? you take everything way too seriously and keep beating a dead horse to add insult to injury. meaning that this has now become entertaining as you're so easily offended by the most trivial bullsh*t i can come with. so the joke's on you apparently. HAHAHA!!!!!

    holy f*ck. i guess you didn't read the second paragraph of my last post. blizZzard & radimus83 don't frequent this site anymore cuz of incompetent users like you who can't discern fiscal facts from opinons. since you're this stupid to not get the point of my first post on this story and insist on continuing a losing argument for yourself, then perhaps more users will read the bs attacks you've been spewing here and see you for the idiot you really are, for even a 5yr old could get my point in that first post, and in the 2nd paragraph of my last post, but apparently you're too retarted to give it up.

    Yeah, you went a few times. Wow. But you don't live there and i do, and let me tell you something, son, you don't know sh*t. You can all the f*cking research you want on this City and you still won't know the full brunt of it. In that show, maybe 2 percent of it's true and that's it. I don't want to here about your f*cking fiscal show problems. I don't give a sh*t. The show's truly preposterous. and whoever think it's real, really needs some help. Nough said.

    i've been there multiple times newkill. family out there. plus i've done enough informative research into it. people who take everything from tv as real are dumbassed i agree, but that aint me, it's just that the content was congruent with a reality at one or more times in the city's history. i never said it was true for the whole place 100% of the timee. better yet, if you wont go lookin yourself, then google earth the zones to see it for real.

    plus i aint tryin to blast you, it just started with me stating a fiscal fact for FOX and shows everywhere: full seasons of shows are never released the day after their season finales and for 25% less than their predecessor seasons unless it dwindled in ratings/reviews. it's an attempt to get fans to buy it before they forget too much about it to the point where they lose interest. why you think i absolutely hate it is beyond me. i liked the first four seasons alot. it's just a show, and this is an opinionated site, so if you haven't yet figured that out, then perhaps you should find another place to bitch about other's opinions. After all, I did acknowledge our better taste in content, yeah, that's right, i consider your taste in tv good, whether or not we always agree. so sorry if you misinterpreted my point i originally made, which wasn't an attack on anyone's opinions, but i'm not gonna argue this anymore cuz i got better things to do.

    Man, f*ck the 5 themes i don't pay attention to that sh*t. It's f*cking crappy ass show that i don't want to remember. And dumbass even though i'm on this site a lot doesn't mean I'm not in the city you stupid sh*t, because my house is in the city. Stupid people. There is no reality in the Wire, it's not the real Baltimore.Your dumbass don't even live here so what type of logic is that. Wow, it's sad to here that you get all your intelligence from television and you think it's true. When i want to know something, I check up on an informative site on the internet not fantasy tv. But hey that's your life. The Wire's all fiction, son. If you really believe that, I really feel sorry for you and the way you get upset about it.

    actually newkill, where in Bmore did you live? lower west side? upper? and obviously it didn't get commericial success, it can't come to cable TV given the language, drug content, sexuality, nudity, etc etc. the amount of edits would kill the show. and the higher up the chain you go in law enforcement, the more they don't like it as it exposes their crappy system for what it is. the STATS game. and the no child left behind bs, its a joke, and the most hick thing bush ever did. look at what it did to the school systems in the real world? and how it would naturally have a worse effect in the projects and lower class neighborhoods which you probly dont live in given the amount of time you have to devote to this site. and it all makes sense, thousands of reviews by major critics later, it stil accurately captures that lifestyle, and since it doesn't focus on the nice areas of balitmore, then it would obviously seem to those who live there that it doesn't accurately represent the city as a whole. PLUS, if you knew sh*t about the wire, then you'd be able to name the 5 themes that match the 5 seasons, and the obvious reason the show cant go on forever, having clocked in at 58hrs 51mins NO commercials.

    And why the F*ck would i care how many seasons it'd go for vs. 24??? What damn logical reason can you think of??? NOTHING??? and you wanna know why most people dont like the show? its cuz all the cowardly f*cks out there dont wanna idolize the harsh reality of it since it'd call for action to resolve said issues. we've seen it hundreds of times before.

    and look into Timoor Stanfield, the real Marlo Stanfield to see how wrong you are. And how the f*ck would you know how bad the show was if you hated it enough to not watch it?? if you kept watching it while hating it, then that's moronic, given how slow moving most of the episodes are, and given how real it is, then it would be less exciting as 24 which would therefore be prone to nab more mindless viewers who careless about plots than the better viewers of the country like say you and me.

    AND better than all those arguments, you said it yourself, COPS and AMW is more entertaining. and that's the sad point, people watch tv for sheer entertainment and dont intend to take anything from it anymore, and i guess you wouldn't like bmore's representation since it would make the city look bad, which it is for the most part. So as i said, and as any logical person WOULD know, the wire aint for entertainment, it's reality in its harshest forms on tv that nobody, INCLUDING you wants to see cuz you cant stand it for the reality, not for the enjoyment or lack thereof.
