A "Star Wars" reference I'd love to see on "24"

Inside one of CTU's holding room...

Jack Bauer: "Tell me what you know about the nerve gas!"
Henderson: "I'm not telling you anything."
Jack Bauer: "Tell me, or I'm going to torture you!"
Henderson: "Kiss my a**"
Jack Bauer: "You give me no choice. Chloe get in here!

The doors open and Chloe weeks in a TV Set and VCR.

Chloe: "Have fun watching this pile of crap Henderson."

Chloe exits and Jack turns on the television screen. The "Star Wars Holiday Special" appears on screen.

Henderson: "What the hell? "Star Wars Holiday Special?" How can Star Wars be torture?"

Jack gives him an evil look. Chewbacca's annoying family begins to growl their heads off.

Henderson: "Oh my God. Make it stop. Make it stop!!!"
George Lucas was seduced by the dark side. The OOT ceased to exist in his mind and became the Special Editions...." "They're more maching now than movies. Twisted and evil."

In this case, the torturer should be played by Harrison Ford...

You know. I've never seen 24 before.

I used to think it was a science fiction show in which the basic plot is:

There is a time machine that can send someone back in time exactly 24 hours from our current start point. No more, no less. Jack works for the government and constantly goes back in time to save people, prime ministers, presidents, buildings, and various other things that can be destroied if not for the magical time machine. Every episode starts out with something horrible happening, and then Jack goes back in time to try and stop it before time catches up with him.

I was then told that, no, this is not what the show was about. It deals with 24 hours in a day in one season. "Oh well, screw that." I said, and walk away.

My concept is way cooler than what the show really is. Once I get my Bachelors in Dec., I'm gonna go make a TV about that. Time Travel is bitchin' concept (even though it isn't all that original).

Sorry to break it to you, but a much-to-similar show has already been produced. 7even Days, it's actually really good too. It's about a top secret government program where people (but mostly the main character) go back in time, however far back they want, and stop bad stuff from happening.

It really IS an interesting show to watch so your idea was a good one.....it was just too late.

Like bad things like the murder of some poor douche or history altering things (not that some guy dying isn't i guess). Like trying to stop JFK from being shot or the making of the atom bomb or.....well a thousand million things that might greatly alter the future. Or maybe that is the whole point, to change the past well minimally altering the future....cool shit this would be (pushes up glasses)

Also, is this show on now or in production or kinda old or something. And if i can get it legally or otherwise, point me where.

PS....Quantum Leap was cool.

Hey look, a bear!

Quantum Leap ruled.

Every time I watched Enterprise, I kept closing my eyes hoping that when I opened them, it'd turn out I was actually watching Quantum Leap rather than that crappy Star Trek prequel

Hang on.....Enterprise wasn't a show. Are you referring to TNG?

No, Jag. I'm referring to Star Trek: Enterprise. It was a show. Not a very good one, mind you, but it was the Star Trek prequel, and ran for four seasons from 2002 to 2005. I'm not stupid.

Why do I get the distinct impression that jag rubs you the wrong way sometimes, sybeman?

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Because you know me quite well after all these months.

But really? Enterprise not a show? "What can Brown do for you?" is new? Maybe Jag's been asleep since 2002

Well, in his defense, I thought it was new too... but I was aware of Enterprise. I'm not a Star Trek person, but I knew it existed.

The Brown thing still baffles and embarrasses me, though, that I somehow missed it.

It happens. That's much less mainstream knowledge than Enterprise was.

Ok, sybeman. I'll break our promise for my defense statement.

1. I completely forgot about Enterprise because I only saw a comercial about it for the first time maybe a month ago. It is definitely NOT mainstream, I watch a lot of TV and I would have seen more comercials about it. Also, I had a moment of complete retardation where in my mind, only one Enterprise existed; the one commanded by Picard.

2. "What can brown do for you"--When I said new, I didn't mean 'weeks ago' new. I only mentioned it because it was just another crappy nickname.

3. I don't think your stupid! Sorry if it came off like that though, I can see how you read it that way.

perfectly describes the show Seven Days which starred Jonathan Lapaglia, which has yet to come out on dvd.

They released star trek enterprise, seaquest, earth 2, space above and beyond and sliders to dvd so why not seven days?

another sci fi show I think should be on dvd is Nowhere Man
