24 Character Countdown Logo & Feature (In Development)

by Aaron

As you know I’ve talked a lot about this new feature that’s going to be coming to Watching 24. After every episode review, I’ll then post the points I have awarded or taken away from each character based on his or her merits or blunders.

Everyone will start out with 100 points depending on what they do, and how I feel their points will go up or down.

Example:
Jack starts with 100 points
-kills terrorist +10
-tells Chloe to shut up and do what she’s told +14
-actually listens to orders from division -7

Total: 117

Chloe starts with 100 points
-first scowl of the season -8
-stops killer virus infecting the CTU’s network +15
-watches poor Edgar die in a roomful of noxious gas released into CTU because the stupid fat hobbit didn’t want to appear moronic for losing his security pass -10

Total: 97

I’ll keep track the entire season. Hopefully everyone will have fun with this. I’ll still do reviews of every episode, but this will just be a way for all of us 24 fans to have a little fun with the most intense show on TV.

Also, I have a prototype of the logo for the feature, but I’m not sure about it. Keep in mind that I’m not a photoshop whiz like a lot of people are. But, here’s kind of what I had in mind. It needs to be cleaned up a little but you get the idea.

Again I’d like to thank Jess at Apropos of Something for the idea.

Also, the character’s pictures will be sized right, this is also kind of a test to see how everything will look.

What does everyone think?

    [...] This is something that has me worried. On the FOX homepage there was a teaser video for 24 fans, but it didn’t really get me all that excited, why? Because the video was of Milo and Morris arguing like little school girls. Sometimes I get pretty sick of the CTU politics and all around selfish behavior that goes on there. One season, why can’t we have a CTU that runs efficiently without all the petty squabbling? I know that you need some to have tension within the show, but enough is enough. People like Erin Driscoll and Sean Astin’s character last season really take the show downhill I think. George Mason was alright, because you could relate to him. He was more than just childish. I just hope that it’s not too much, or Milo and Morris will soon be in the negatives when it comes to the 24 Character Countdown point system that we will be playing. [...]

    [...] the other day, I received two e-mails very close to together asking me if I was planning to do the 24 character countdown for season seven. Since it looks like people really enjoyed it, I am definitely bringing it back. [...]
