Buy This Item 24 - Season Five (Slim-Pack) by Fox Network  Available from Amazon  $44.99  on 11-14-2008     Eighteen months after faking his own death, Jack Bauer is forced to return to Los Angeles when it becomes apparent that the only four people who know he is still alive are being systemically targeted for assassination. The assassinations coincide with the signing of an anti-terrorism treaty between Russia and the U.S., leading Jack to suspect a link between the assassinations, the treaty, and a group of Russian terrorists. But as events slowly unfold it becomes apparent that the day's horrific events were originally set in motion by someone within our country's own administration – an individual with the power and resources to thwart Jack's every move. Reader Reviews This is a nice season to view after the horror that was season 4. The plot is a little clearer and there is not a new emergency or disaster every 3rd episode as in season 4. The worst aspect about this series is the involvement of the President in many of the schemes (not really a spoiler), when this was revealed I almost laughed. The writers are so desperate to WOW and shock the viewer that they went the only direction they never had before and never should have gone. By this time the American public would have NO FAITH in their government's ability to keep order in the US. You have one assassinated president who had a divorce, was removed from power, replaced in power, and resigned due to a scandal and coverup. The next president is lost in a terrorist attack against Air Force One. The NEXT president is collaborating with terrorists..... Oh and CTU: who would work there now, you are almost gauranteed to die if you work here. Bombs, nerve gas, oh and Chinese terrorists in the next season... I loved the first 3 seasons, now I view each episode with more chagrin than before. I pray that this show can recapture some of its earlier glory!
