his family were terrorists and he had a nephew. funniest of all, a nuclear bomb went off in LA and just a few hours later, people were out and about playing tennis as if nothing had happened

So it's not canon?

It is canon. Jack really had a brother, father, sister in law, and a nephew in the show.
A daughter, a granddaughter, a sister in law and a nephew

Thankfully 24 survived her appearance, the actress that plays her appears on a show.... and it gets axed soon after.

They tried real fucking hard in season 6 (and to be fair, it may well have been axed there and then, but after S5, Fox signed a deal for 3 more seasons, so were basically boxed in. They didn't renew after that, hah.)
I still hate what Jack did to Curtis.
the actor wanted out
so instead of the sensible route of just writing him out, they killed him off
derp
"Derp"? What are you, 12?
No need to be condescending. I just watch the show. I don't research outside of it.
How old were the pythons when they recorded flying circus and the holy grail?
derp fuckity derp
Just iterating that using certain phrases does not indicate age in any way whatsoever. Technically, I was being jokingly sarcastic.

I love Pokken!
S6 is not THAT bad guys, come on. S4 on the other hand...
Excuse me but not, S4 is not one of my favorites but is well and beyond S6 quality
S4 has Palmer, Novick, Michelle and Tony!

What? Season 4 is what got me into watching 24 as a series. The levels of escalation are absurd but compelling. When nuclear meltdowns are not even close to the endgame of your season your show is awesome. Plus we got classic scenes of Jack sliding down a hill with gun drawn, Air Force One, Mandy vs Curtis, Metal Gear Solid infiltrations and a hell of an ending (that also reintroduced a great threat that came back later). Oh and it reintroduced all our old favorites.
Only thing about S4 is that S6 didn't pay it off properly.

S4 started out pretty bad. I remember the quality or lack thereof really being jarring, especially during that train scene. But it rebounds quickly thereafter and becomes a solid season with amazing action. I'd say the action sequences in the final four episodes are some of the best in the series. And it has a great character moment for Jack at the end.

Counter-argument: It also had Behrooz, Dina and Audrey.

Counter-counter argument - it has Mandy, as well as three characters that would later become fan favourites: President Logan, Curtis and Bill Buchanan.
Anyone remember that CTU boss that left early cause her daughter committed suicide? Wow that actress got a raw deal.
It's her own fault. She quit as she couldn't deal with the stress of working on 24.
Is that right? Wow, I'm learning a lot in this thread about actors who wanted off the show. Between her and the actor who played Curtis, this is all news to me.
I remember reading that the typical work day on "24" was like 14-16 hour days so I can see how it'd be stressful.
Eric Balfour / Milo wanted off the show too to film some TV pilot for CBS (which wasn't picked up - oops).

And Bill! Season 4 has most of the good 24 characters in it. After that they started getting too kill happy.

Habib Marwan > you.
I always consider season 4 the "Die Hard" season. It was the first season they went non-stop and you could tell their budget got bigger. It's not my favorite, but it has a lot of magic and momentum to it.
Season 6 is what it is. If you can like it, God bless ya. I at one point tried to sit down and write fan-fiction for myself to fill in the plot holes. It was difficult. And my avatar got groceries.
24 is always at it's best, to me anyway, when there's an element of mystery. Season 4 lacks that mystery (things blow up x 20). Season 6 also really lacks that as well, but didn't have the cohesion of season 4.
That being said, the last 15 minutes of season 6 are fantastic and a good payoff.
I always thought a good way to shake up the shows settings was to have Jack go work with Aaron in a private security/contractor capacity (maybe that's what he was going to do at the start of season 8 back in L.A.).

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
For anyone watching the old seasons on Netflix (US) in preparation, they expire on April 1st.
