My brother thought that a prequel would be a good idea. Then you could use Nina, Chapelle, even Teri and it would be interesting because you already know their fates. Maybe it can be when Kim is little so you wouldn't have to suffer through her again.

I don't think you can do that and I think it is a stupid idea. Nina might not have work at CTU then. Jack was military special opts. CTU might not have even existed then. Palmer was a normal senator or not even. All the major player were probably not even together or in any sort of contact yet.

While it would be cool to some extent, I think it would be too hard to keep up with all the current knowledge and not write enormous loop holes. I am not saying it can't be done. I am saying it is probably way too hard and as a result wouldn't turn out that great.

Okay, more spoilers!

What - apart from the end of Series 1 (though include it if you absolutely cannot bear it) - what were the show's greatest moments and why?

My list:

1) The A-Bomb goes off (beautiful blend of camera, music and editing).
2) Death of Ryan Chapelle (CTU's pain-in-the-ass, but at the end of the day, just another harmless guy).
3) End of Day 2 - Jack is saved by the SWAT chopper.

1. Jack rescues his family from the compound. This is hands down my favorite moment in the whole series and one of the greatest integrations of television and music I've ever seen.

2. The bomb going off was pretty cool.

3. Season 3 didn't really have any moments that stood out for me (Chapelle's death pissed me off), but one twist that I didn't see coming was the whole Jack-Gaiel-Tony secret agenda to get Jack back undercover. It didn't make a lot of sense but it was still cool.

Season 1 - Jack goes command near the end after he is told they killed Kim...that was awesome.

Season 3 - Releaseing the Virus

Season 1 - Finding out Nina was on the other team the whole time

Season 2 nothing surprised me and it was way too over the top even for this show. It might have been really good had it not been in the 24 hour format and more like the west wing type thing. It was just crazy and the whole last 1/3 of the show made 0 sense most of the time for everyone's plot. Terrible.

The first half was excellent (the A-Bomb) but the second part was very confusing. Maybe if it was in a different format it would have been better, nevertheless it was still good viewing.
