24: Redemption & Season 7

[Furtherman]

I've read the rumors of a whole new direction and even city for 24's next season.

Looks like they had an idea, but have now scrapped it to start over from scratch.

24 plot tossed, production delayed. (http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Ausiello-Report/Exclusive-24-Plot/800018254)

The article quotes Mary Lynn Rajskub, who will be back as Chloe, confirmed that the clock for Day 7 has been reset.


After last season, which I didn't think was so terrible, I was thinking they would at least try a new city - like New York City - and a new cast to shake things up.

It also mentions that the president for this season may be a woman. Just as long as it isn't Palmer's sister!

[King Imp]

Yeah, when we first started hearing that they were going to branch out to a new loaction, I immediately thought New York myself. What is this Africa shit?

[EliSnow]

24's Next President Will Be A Woman. (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/23/tv.fox.24.ap/index.html)

[Doctor Manhattan]

24's Next President Will Be A Woman. (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/23/tv.fox.24.ap/index.html)

I'm so glad they didn't go with Sandra Palmer!
So that brings the total to eight Presidents on the show:


Harold Barnes (Day 1: The guy before David Palmer) White Guy!
David Palmer (Days 2 and 3) Black Guy!
Jim Prescott (Day 2: for a few hours after "The Trial of David Palmer", and then again for some amunt of time after the "handshake assasination" attempted by Naked Mandy) White Guy!
John Keeler (Day 4) White Guy!
Charles Logan (Days 4 and 5) White Guy!
Hal Gardner (Day 5: after Logan is taken away/arrested.) White Guy!
Wayne Palmer (Day 6) Black Guy!
Allison Taylor (Day 7) White Dame!


The timeline of the show puts season 7 about ten years after the events of the first season, if they go with 18 months after season 6 like they usually do. That's a lot of presidents in one decade. Normally the most you'd have in a decade would be three presidents

Edit: I added the race for each, for those keeping track. 24 made a big deal about Palmer being the first Black President, I'm sure they'll do the same for Mrs. Taylor

[lleeder]

Will they reveal that whiney douche is actually Jacks's son? The last episode of this season made it look like Jack might just kill himself to rid Audrie of his curse. Will there be a new lead?

[EliSnow]

I don't think he is his son. They were pretty clear that Jack was with the mother prior to being married and having his daughter. Jack wasn't seeing the mother at the time the kid was conceived.

Won't it be awkward with her reading her lines directly from the script in her hands while on camera? And how will they explain the stool that has to be next to her in every scene?

[King Imp]

I can't believe that will all the real actors and actresses out there, someone said "Oh yeah, I've just got to have Janeane Garofalo in this part."

[JPMNICK]

i remember last year reading that the producers were so unhappy with season 6, as well as FOX being upset about how it turned out. I wonder if they will ever fill in the details on what they scrapped.

but ok, seriously... she's playing someone on the presidents staff (i guess the new president is a lesbian). I can hear the dialogue now:

"so... this jack bauer's just gonna kill them all because theyre terrorists planning to blow up America??? Dont you think thats a little fascist?"

[Furtherman]

The Law According to Jack Bauer (http://www.slate.com/id/2173564/entry/2173565/)

Lt. General Walter Sharp, staff director for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, moonlights as an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law School. This spring semester Sharp will teach a course titled "The Law of 24" (see catalog page below). The two-credit class is based, yes, on the Fox hit 24. Students who take Sharp's class will acquire "a detailed understanding of a very wide range of U.S. domestic and international legal issues ... in the context of the utilitarian and sometimes desperate responses to terrorism raised by the plot of 24."

[JPMNICK]

so when is this going to start airing? and are they going straight through?

[Furtherman]

so when is this going to start airing? and are they going straight through?

It won't be until 2008. And there has been some production delays.

But the past couple seasons they've gone straight through, so I don't think they'll mess with that success.

[Johnny Manf]

yeah starts in January and goes straight through til the season finale in May.
no mondays of reruns at all. but still.... january is a ways off.

[Ay Kay Forty2]

I really hope Jack Bauer knocks up Chloe, that'd be hot.

Because my response may give it away for those who don't want to click the link, I'll spoiler tag it.

That was the rumor for the end of last season as well. When I first heard it, I was so psyched for the ending and immensely let down when it never happened. I personally hope it's true this time.

[Johnny Manf]

I dont think its a spoiler since USAToday had an article about it today and its starting to circulate on all TV websites. They must be trying to pump up the new season. They'll probably give it away in the promos for the new season that start airing in December or the beginning of January. So if you really dont want to know then you should probably avoid anything related to 24 or TV sites in general.

All I know is it worked on me. I'M PUMPED!

[Furtherman]

USA Today is still around?

[BoondockSaint]

I'm surprised to see that it will be starting on time. I thought that the delay in production would push it back a month or two.

CTU, Buchanan speaking
Yes this is officer Davis, and we have a man that is identifying himself as Jack Bauer and says he works for you.
Buchanan: Yes thats right.
Cop: He was just pulled over for a DUI and his alcohol level is 3 times the limit and is with a girl that was found out to be 14.. He says he had to do it to maintain cover on a covert operation in a case involving national security, is that right.

Buchanan: Yes that is correct, now let him go before you blow this whole case!!!
Cop: But she was giving him oral sir!
Buchanan.. ITS PART OF HIS COVER! LET HIM GO!
Cop: right away sir!
(uncuffes Bauer)

[marky2bucks]

People still care about this show?

I can't stand it anymore. They just keep reusing the same plot.

[Doctor Manhattan]

People still care about this show?

I can't stand it anymore. They just keep reusing the same plot.

That's how last season felt (after the first 6 or so episodes, when the people in LA seemed to forget that a nuke went off that morning) but the season before that (season 5) was fantastic!

[JustJon]

The bit with the nuke was great, but it was fucking boring after those first few eps. I think it killed any interest I may have in Season 7, especially if it runs against Heroes again.

[Johnny Manf]

yeah the first 4 episodes of Season 6 were awesome but it went downhill fast.
and Season 7 will definitely go up against Heroes. Unless they realize last season was weak and think changing times will help. But I think its still going to be Monday at 9.

thank god for DVR.

[King Imp]

Well, since Heroes started so soon, you can bet that we will be seeing them go on about 20 hiatuses before it's finale. What else are you going to watch when there is yet another Heroes rerun on?

[JustJon]

Maybe this season they will film Jack while he's behind real cell bars.:help:

24 Season Seven Trailer Coming Oct. 25
Source: Fox October 18, 2007

As the clock ticks closer to "24's" highly anticipated return, a special, extended "Day 7" trailer will have its worldwide premiere Thursday, Oct. 25 (1:00 PM ET/10:00 AM PT) at 24Trailer.com and in New York's Time Square on the iconic News Astrovision by Panasonic. The first promo for the new season is also scheduled to air during Game 2 of the World Series on Thursday, Oct. 25 on Fox.

The innovative, addictive, Emmy Award-winning television series 24 resets the clock for "Day 7" with a special two-night premiere event beginning Sunday, Jan. 13 and continuing in the series' regular time period Monday, Jan. 14 on Fox. The season will unfold without repeats, airing all originals through the season finale in June.

Set in Washington, DC, "Day 7" opens with CTU dismantled and Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) on trial. Bauer's day takes an unexpected turn when former colleague Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) returns. Meanwhile, President Allison Taylor (Cherry Jones) leads the country alongside White House Chief of Staff Ethan Kanin (Bob Gunton) and First Gentleman Henry Taylor (Colm Feore).

A national security crisis prompts an investigation by a team of FBI agents including Agent Janis Gold (Janeane Garofalo), Agent Renee Walker (Annie Wersching), Agent Larry Moss (Jeffrey Nordling), Agent Sean Hillinger (Rhys Coiro) and security specialist Michael Latham (John Billingsley). Although CTU is no longer, Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub) and Bill Buchanan (James Morrison) are back for another momentous day of shocking events.

I hope they are casting against type, otherwise, that's your Big Bad right there.

[King Imp]

It's times like these that I kinda despise the Internet. This Tony thing would have been huge if no one saw it coming. Now, while it's still cool, the whole surprise is ruined.

[Furtherman]

Premiere of the Season 7 trailer at 1pm in Times Square today.

Chloe, Mary Lynn Rajskub, will be there.

[Furtherman]

I just got back from the premiere of the preview.

Holy shit. If you're a fan, do not miss it tonight during the World Series (or it will probably be on Youtube shortly).

Big cheers for Tony, and then... well, you'll see.

As much as many didn't care for last season, the new look to the show is awesome.

Got myself a nice 24 hat too! And Mary Lynn looked great... very cool posing with fans for pictures.

[BoondockSaint]

Fox already has the trailer up. (http://www.24trailer.com/)

I can't wait.

[BoondockSaint]

That's hysterical. Maybe I'll get my hymen put back in, too.

[King Imp]

I really hope that they are just trying to make you believe one thing with the trailer and the opposite is true. I'm not liking the fact that Tony is "allegedly" the bad guy.

[Furtherman]

I think that would be great twist... a spurned Tony, abandoned by his government, dead wife, a resentment towards CTU... and Jack. It would make a great conflict.

[Freitag]

I'm thinking Tony leads a rogue group, and although it LOOKS like he's manipulating the planes (which is why Jack is trying to stop him) he's actually trying to flush out a mole.

Moley. Moley Moley. Mole.

Or he is actually the Big Bad. Which would be ASTOUNDING.

[King Imp]

I think that would be great twist... a spurned Tony, abandoned by his government, dead wife, a resentment towards CTU... and Jack. It would make a great conflict.


I could get behind all of that as a reason as it would make perfect sense. Well, all except for the Jack part. Tony would have no reason to be at odds with Jack unless it was a guilt by association thing.

[HBox]

I can't wait until January. But between 24 and Galactica it will be good.

[KnoxHarrington]

They said the 24 trailer would be after the 7th inning, and the game is now going into the bottom of the 5th. So I'd say it'll air in about 45 minutes or so.

Damn, Tony looks badass!!!

Well, this certainly sucks. I sure hope this is resolved soon, otherwise there will be nothing worthwhile to watch.

Same thing for The Shield too I suppose. The two best shows on non-pay cable. And with The Wire leaving us for good after this year, the summer tv is going to suck donkey sausage.

[King Imp]

Actually, I heard The Shield was already written before the strike began and it's set to air late Spring.

[BoondockSaint]

Just read that 24 has 16 more episodes to film so I guess January seems about right. Damn.

[Furtherman]

So, you say your a 24 fan? Then this one's for you! You won't have to wait until January 2009 for your next Jack Bauer fix - rather a 2 hour prequel is being developed to air in the fall. The prequel will bridge the previous season with the new upcoming season. 24 is produced by Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox TV.

NICE. Now here is a show that cares about its fan base.

[BoondockSaint]

The 2 hour movie will air in November:

The wait for word on the fate of Jack Bauer is over.

The wait for "24," however, will continue.

Fox officials said Thursday the network will air a two-hour "24" on Nov. 23 as a way to get viewers geared up for the launch of the show's next season in January.

As die-hard fans of the show know, agent Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) mission was upended when the Writers Guild of America went on strike last fall.

Fox had eight episodes of "24" shot at that point, and when the strike ended three months later, the network decided to hold the show back until next season.

Now it has come up with a two-hour special.

"As much as we all wanted it back on the air, this prequel came out of it," said Kevin Reilly, Fox's Entertainment president. "It's going to be a stand-alone, E-ticket ride in November."

The episode, designed to set up the new season, will be shot in South Africa. It will have Bauer battling an international crisis while the U.S. prepares for the inauguration of a new President.

[Doctor Manhattan]

Are they still going to use the 8 episodes they shot? If so that 9th Episode is going to stick out unless they are REALLY careful with continuity. It's supposed to be the same day but they are going to be shooting it a year or more later!

Did they not put a prequel short on the 6th Season DVD set like they had for the 3 sets before it? I really did not like the 6th Season so I have not purchased it yet, I have the 1st 5.

[Fallon]

NEW YORK - Jon Voight has been cast as the villain on the upcoming season of the Fox drama "24."

The seventh season kicks off in January, though Voight will make his first appearance during a two-hour "prequel" episode to air in November, Chris Alexander, a spokesman for the show, said Friday. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080613/ap_en_tv/people_jon_voight_2)

Last season stunk but the season before that was excellent. Hopefully they learned from their mistakes, I'll be watching on Sunday and in January

[AnnoyedGrunt]

24: Redemption on this Sunday at 8!

I've seen a couple reviews and they've all been positive.

Entertainment Weekly gave it a B-, though any negative criticism seemed to be about the show's politics.

[IamFogHat]

Is no one watching this? It's pretty entertaining. If you watch this show it's usual predictable shit writing-wise, but still entertaining. The action just kicked in, this is a two hour series to preview the new 24 season this January. They got fucked by the writer's strike last year, but my bet is they will profit from it, I feel like 24 watchers will be starved for it, all on a minor level, but the interest will be there, and that will be enough, I think the last season was the worst, but the layover was enough of a discrepancy that the fans will be clamoring in January, and this two hour cock tease was a brilliant marketing tool.
Again, it's good so far, not great, but who expects greatness out of 24? It's entertaining. Welcome back to our pop culture landscape 24!

[Doctor Manhattan]

There is a lot of product placement on 24 now, more direct than usual...

[IamFogHat]

Ew, how predictable and contrived. Hope the season isn't so.
BTW we all know what's going to happen to him.

[IamFogHat]

Ew, how predictable and contrived. Hope the season isn't so.
BTW we all know what's going to happen to him.

In order to preserve my "I'm not an internet asshole poster" noncred, that's the end I thought that was going to happen, but not the direction, which makes everything ok story wise, I guess.

[Doctor Manhattan]

What direction were you thinking?

[Furtherman]

Yea, the politics was very contrived. We get it, you don't like the U.N. They're neutral cowards. Although "Go hide in the bunker with the rest of the children" was a great line.

Nevertheless, it was OK. But I'll have to see the season premiere to get really excited.

If anything, Jack Bauer should ALWAYS carry sticks of dynamite.

[DrDrew319]

What a cock tease that was...The next episodes is not until Januart 11th?

[Freitag]

I knew Redemption wasn't going to be that good, mainly because it was just table scraps from the episodes they shot from before the writer's strike. Apparently, the African story arc was supposed to be stretched out over six episodes, I could only imagine how insufferable it would be then.

I lost interest in it about 90 minutes in... I didn't think the Cisco product placement was that bad, but the Nextel and Hyundai product placement was HORRIFIC.

I swear, if Jack bauer is driving around in a Santa Fe, I'm going to be really annoyed.

Also, spoiler -

since Liz and I saw tropic thunder right before we saw this, a certain character's demise was unintentionally hilarious.

[Contra]

I saw the last hour, it was ok. The preview of next season looked great though

[Jennitalia]

i couldnt get into it last night. i kept switching over to charm school. i'm going to give the next season a chance though.

[Doctor Manhattan]

Also, spoiler -

since Liz and I saw tropic thunder right before we saw this, a certain character's demise was unintentionally hilarious.

Which character?

[Aggie]

Which character?

The school teacher on the mine.

It was OK, just good to see Jack back. So the trial is going to be part of the 24 hours? That seems a little much but I'm still going to watch.

TONY LOOKS HOT!

[Doctor Manhattan]

Do you mean Steve Coogan (stepped on the Mine in TT)? He was not on 24, he was in 24 Hour Party People, but the school teacher was played by Robert Carlyle.

[ChrisTheCop]

I turned on my tv at 8:20 and saw it was already hour 3... I was pissed.
"When did it start?" "What had I missed??"
I immediately turned it off and figured Hulu or Itunes would clue me in after thanksgiving.

My tivo didnt grab it for me because I have "24" listed, not "24: Redemption".:thumbdown:

[west milly Tom]

It only started at 8. The first hour was 3PM

[ChrisTheCop]

It only started at 8. The first hour was 3PM

I figured that out later, after I realized it was a special, and not the premiere...

But I'm old and easily confused.

Also--I had missed 20 minutes and my tv mustve been on the fritz, cuz
it looked like an Angelina Jolie Family Christmas.

[west milly Tom]

Nope, TV was fine. It was a very dark episode.

[extracheese]

The show is supposed to take place within a 24 hour period. This occured between 3pm - 5pm. So how do they get him flown back to Washington and commence a full trial all in one day? Trials take weeks/months. The flight alone is 10 hours from Africa.
Even if they start a "new day" in January, they have to maintain some believablilty that events
occur in a day.

GREAT SHOW THOUGH - it was great to have 24 back!


Robert Carlyle was the wimpy husband/father in 28 days later.

I didnt watch this last night and I can answer your question.

The new season, and the new day, begins in january, AFTER he gets back from Africa. Last night was a special.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

I enjoyed last night well enough. Not the greatest story but I suppose they were limited by the fact they had to come up with something that fit with Season 7 which was already written before Redemption. I thought for sure Jack would have to wrestle with the fact he'd have to have a shootout with children.

However, the worst product placement in the history of the show (and maybe of all television) was in the prequel to Season 6. 2 black ops guys bust Jack out of Chinese prison. They then pull a tarp off their getaway vehicle to reveal a brand new SUV that looks like it belongs in a showroom.

[Furtherman]

You might as well just forget about product placement. In the age of DVRs, advertisers have no choice but to put their products in the actual show. It's nothing new anyway. The first TV shows ever had the stars of the shows plugging products. It's money and money makes the 24 clock go 'round.

[Fallon]

What a shitty movie.

Just plain boring. ENOUGH with the presidents!!!

Just have it about Jack.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Do you mean Steve Coogan (stepped on the Mine in TT)? He was not on 24, he was in 24 Hour Party People, but the school teacher was played by Robert Carlyle.

Oy.

I know they are two different actors. What I'm saying is, Liz and I JUST SAW Tropic Thunder right before we saw 24:Redemption, and we found the mine gag in Tropic Thunder one of the funniest parts of the movie. So to see a mine situation again so soon is what made it unintentionally hilarious.

This Sunday!



By the way....

8 reasons why 24 is SCIENCE FICTION! (http://scifiwire.com/2009/01/eight-reasons-why-foxs-24-is-really-science-fiction-really.php)

It's in the future! If you add up all the years that have passed since season one, which took place in the present, the show's events are now taking place around the year 2017. They've always said that two years or so pass between each season's "day," and there have been several presidential administrations (whomever David Palmer ran against, David Palmer, Logan, Wayne Palmer and now Taylor). Producer Brannon Braga doesn't deny it! "Yes, technically 24 should have flying holographic cars right now," he admits.

[west milly Tom]

You can't interrogate Jack, go back to Robocop.

[west milly Tom]

Jack Bauer is an American hero!

[JimBeam]

Ugh.

The douche independent director from Entourage.

[Knowledged_one]

What is with kiefers giant earlobes

[JimBeam]

Yeah really.

I was noticing that.

Are they always like that ?

[Knowledged_one]

You can't interrogate Jack, go back to Robocop.

or wisconsin

[west milly Tom]

What is with kiefers giant earlobes

Better to hear you with...

[PD]

Jack is back

and so is Tony ! and as a bad guy?

the guy who plays Latham is a character actor who has been interesting in some other shows- most notably the ill fated/short lived "the nine"

[Knowledged_one]

Yeah really.

I was noticing that.

Are they always like that ?

im just glad im not the only one who noticed

[JimBeam]

This is the 1st time I've watched the show in HD so I thought I might have to adjust something.

No wonder he could fly in Lost Boys.

[IamFogHat]

24 is the definitive dumping ground of actors you've seen before but have no idea what their name is or what they in.

[JimBeam]

Are you reffering to the head guy in the air traffic control room ?

He was in Hot Shots w/ Charlie Sheen.

[IamFogHat]

Jack Bauer the Analyst is not as exciting as Jack Bauer the Ass Kicker.

[HBox]

Are you reffering to the head guy in the air traffic control room ?

Washout?

isnt he sheens bro in 2 and a half men

[IamFogHat]

Are you reffering to the head guy in the air traffic control room ?

He was in Hot Shots w/ Charlie Sheen.

Yes! But also the black guy in the same room. Plus others.
Like Janene Gerofalo, zing!

[JimBeam]

No I think he was a preacher type of character.

Like a holy roller.

[JimBeam]

I was halfassed paying attention.

Was the guy that was talking about his son not committing suicide a character from previous seasons ?

I'm fairly new to this show so I might've missed that.

[HBox]

No I think he was a preacher type of character.

Like a holy roller.

Ah, that would be Dead Meat.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Yes, that was Dead Meat. And he's been in other stuff.

I'm hoping when Tony face-turns, Cubs mug will show up.

I think Tony's going to face turn because if he was really malicious, he would have kidnapped the daughter.

[Tenbatsuzen]

BTW, so glad that they are using Fords again instead of Hyundais or chevys.

So obviously, someone killed the son between Redemption and now - about 65 days have passed. But the girlfriend knew about shit going down, so why didn't she die?

[IamFogHat]

They're being kind of clever with them knowing the formula has grown old, I'm quite enjoying now.

[walking joint]

probably alot to ask, but i haven't watched the show since Jack got kidnapped at the end of i believe 2 seasons ago...by the Chinese...what are the big things i need to know heading into this season. kids have slowed my TV time, but i'm getting a little back these days and we are trying 24 again...

[west milly Tom]

Not a suicide

[HBox]

When did Die Hard 2 start?

[west milly Tom]

Stupid whispery voice Tony, I hate that.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Two things:

1) The plane is landing safely to show they are in control.

2) A mole? on 24? NO WAY!

[IamFogHat]

Oof, making the FBI look bad, my daddy isn't gonna be happy.

BTW for anyone who's interested in the reality of TV, he works in a new place I won't name, but he tells me it literally looks like CTU used to, really fucking cool.

[disneyspy]

i bet that gernafalo look alike i the mole

[Tenbatsuzen]

Those planes are some of the shittiest CGI I've ever seen.

[Tenbatsuzen]

High-fives to the left. I've been watching this show for too fucking long.

[HBox]

Those planes are some of the shittiest CGI I've ever seen.

Yeah, I felt like I was watching a 90s made for TV movie.

[IamFogHat]

Oh boy, here we go.

[west milly Tom]

So how long before jacks new girl eats a bullet?

[armymad]

i am just glad that the new season is going great

[west milly Tom]

Oh shit its Jumas boy. Nice twist.

[disneyspy]

im wondering when we find out all this is just a smokescreen for something larger

[IamFogHat]

We didn't see this coming from the warden from Shawshank at all.

[disneyspy]

wait,WENDYS is way better than fast food?

[HBox]

We didn't see this coming from the warden from Shawshank at all.

I'd like to think that the last thing that thing that will go through his head, before Tony's bullet, is how could 60% of the White House's staff could have been terrorist moles.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I'd like to think that the last thing that thing that will go through his head, before Tony's bullet, is how could 60% of the White House's staff could have been terrorist moles.

If this ends with Jack and Tony restoring a boat in Mexico, I'm going to be upset.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Ha! Jack put the Tazmission on Tony!

[west milly Tom]

If this ends with Jack and Tony restoring a boat in Mexico, I'm going to be upset.



:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Knowledged_one]

They need to get mcnulty and freamon up on those cell phones to find the mole

[King Imp]

I'm placing my money on Tony still being good and working so far undercover that the FBI couldn't get info on it.

Have to say that the whole mole thing really is pathetic at this point. We get it, there is someone dirty in every aspect of government. Can we try something new for once?

[Furtherman]

Was the guy that was talking about his son not committing suicide a character from previous seasons ?

That is the President's husband.

So obviously, someone killed the son between Redemption and now - about 65 days have passed. But the girlfriend knew about shit going down, so why didn't she die?

Yea, that confused me. Was that shown in Redemption? I thought it just came out of nowhere.


When did Die Hard 2 start?

Hahahaha. I thought the same thing.

[Contra]

Yeah the mole thing is very tired. I was thinking die hard 2 as well, luckily I don't think the airport gimmick will be used after this (I hope). Whoever has missed a few seasons this is a good one to pick up at, there's not too much overlap from previous seasons as far as story or characters (besides Tony and chloe) in this one it seems.

[Doctor Manhattan]

I'm placing my money on Tony still being good and working so far undercover that the FBI couldn't get info on it.

Have to say that the whole mole thing really is pathetic at this point. We get it, there is someone dirty in every aspect of government. Can we try something new for once?

Yeah the mole things sucks

And from the first scene with Bill and Chloe in episode 3, it looks like you are right about Tony.

Didn't they already pull the double agent thing with Jack and Gael working for the Ramon Salazar from Season 3? Kim found out the Gael was working for Salazar, he tied her up in the server room and then when it was revealed that he was a double agent and it was a ploy to get Jack back under cover the President (David Palmer, the only real 24 President) got really upset that he was out of the loop

I hope there is more to it. I'm still watching the leaked screener for tonight's episodes.

[Doctor Manhattan]

Yes! But also the black guy in the same room.

Yeah, Why did the FAA hire Krazee-Eyez Killa?

[Aggie]

There will always be annoying things about this show but I'm back on board. I was very entertained last night.

I hate my husband for pointing out the "whisper talking" to me because now that's all I can notice. It didn't bother me at all before he said anything.:unsure:

[lleeder]

How can you kill a character off that you just introduce an episode before with a time gap its craziness? Why didn't they just kill him in Redemption so we would understand it right away?

Yeah, and I thought Jon Voight said they would leave him alone, since they already killed his friend. I guess I will have to rewatch. I really didn't like 24: Redemption but I am liking the first 4 hours of 24: Day 7

Why is Goroffalo acting like Choloe? It's really bugging me.

Every agency needs a Chloe, She is the FBI-Chloe.

Tonight she goes head to head with Chloe and comments on how good she is.

[disneyspy]

Tebow actually did a Steve Jobs when he said he was coming back.


"You looked good."

Free agent Chloe. Since there is no CTU anymore.

Cherry Jones is a lesbian.

And here's her girl:

http://images.broadwayworld.com/photoops/faithhealer/prev76.jpg

[AKA]

I love that they are finally doing a season out of Los Angeles, but Hollywood never gets DC geography right - tonight's episode was driving me nuts, with driving up one way, and coming down another - all trying to get shots with the Capital dome in the background.

What hospital is downtown next to the US Botanical Gardens? How quickly can you get from South East to Georgetown?

It was really odd when they fled the FBI at the end of Hour Three and were driving by the new baseball stadium (as it was still being built, last year). They used the same shot in the first two hours, but with a car turning away in a different direction (the stadium just out of view).

The nit-picking aside, I love that the show is back and still manages to surprise me when it does. It's VERY bitter sweet for me, because I got into the show because of my friend, Deb, who died a year and a half ago to cancer. We'd quibble about every episode right afterwards and had a blast - she would have loved DC being front and center (although she would have groaned too), and especially would have gotten a kick out of seeing Janeane Garaffolo - and especially happy to see Chloe back - AND she would have LOVED to have seen the female president (especially played by a lesbian).

One of the reasons I know that area near the stadium so well is before the stadium opened, I actually snuck onto the work site and left some of Deb's ashes behind (she was also a huge baseball fan) - so, seeing the stadium (even briefly) was kind of a nice bonus for me.

Not into many other shows these days - I've been looking forward/kind of dreading 24s return - now that I'm 4 hours (+ 2 hour movie) into it, I'm just letting it wash over me and not over think it so much. What's the use? They will go for the ridiculous each and every time, so there's no use to second guess. I would have liked to have seen a thread of a sub-plot involving just an ordinary person who doesn't know how they have gotten in over their head - dick wad at the FBI who reroutes planes or even the husband of the president aren't doing it for me (yet) - but I'm patient.

[King Imp]

I loved Agent Walker's "Who are you working for!?!?" in the hospital room. That's usually Jack's line. She is so gonna wind up on the ex-CTUers side. She's got the bug.

Scoring for Round 1 of CTU geek vs FBI geek: Chloe 10-9

So, does anyone else already not care about the President's son's storyline? Granted, I know this will eventually tie into who the top baddie is this season, but right now I could care less about the First Gentleman's scenes.

Great panic room that Prime Minister Matobo has if they can get to him through the vents in the next episode.

So, I'm kinda confused now. Is there still a mole in the FBI or was Chloe the person who was getting the info to Tony?

[instrument]

Yes there's a mole, you saw him let the sniper out of the building.

[Doctor Manhattan]

So with the guy that got the Matobo's into the panic room. we have our 5th Lost cast member on 24 (The guy who played Eko's Brother Yemi/Smoke Monster follows other Lost actors Jin, Desmond, Charles Widmore and Christian Shepard, who played Agent Baker on Days 2 and 3, The German Agent on Day 5, Vice President James Prescott on Days 2 and 3 and Bob Warner on Day 2) Lost and 24 are my favorite shows on network TV so it's cool to see.

So the whole "Jack thinks Tony is a bad guy" lasted for about 30 minutes? The promos they had early last year made it look like Tony was the main bad guy and it would be a whole season of Jack vs. Tony. But Tony isn't even in charge of the bad guys and he actually was a bad guy off screen after he "died".

[west milly Tom]

I called this from jump street, I knew Tony was working UC. I'm smart.

[west milly Tom]

Yes there's a mole, you saw him let the sniper out of the building.



I think the computer nerd guy is a mole too.

Thaaaaaank you. I was wondering where I've seen that guy before. I had no idea so many other Lost members had been on 24!

[AKA]

Jack (I think) is still a good guy, but he's now pretending to be a bad guy...

Tony is undercover with the bad guys (but really was a bad guy, until he saw the light)...

Chloe and Buchanan working outside of the law (are they really good guys? this season?)...

The FBI has good guys and secret bad guys and dumb guys (the nit wit and his wife on the plane) going after good guys pretending to be bad guys...

The President's office and the government are filled with bad guys (and I guess some good guys), but the bad guys in the government killed the President's son (we're only positive that the President's husband is a good guy)...

So, yeah, right now the only two people I'm positive are really good guys are Jack and the President's husband - and I'm fully expecting that by hour 10 to have even that flipped on me.

[Doctor Manhattan]

(the nit wit and his wife on the plane)

And just as the FBI has their own Chloe, it seems the FBI also has their own Adam Kaufman (Day 3) who worked with Chloe. Adam was played by the guy who plays Sylar on Heroes and Spock in the new Star Trek

I guess there are only so many types of characters they can come up with on this show. I expected more from Billy Walsh (his Entourage character)

[PD]

BTW, so glad that they are using Fords again instead of Hyundais or chevys.

[JimBeam]

OK sorry to back track a bit but that 2 hour " movie " they showed around Thanksgiving was " Redemption " correct ?

And in the 1st 5 minutes of that they killed some guy that was uncovering some secrets ?

Was it that show that showed the brother and sister together in the limo ?

I've watched a few gov't conspiracy movies in the last few months and I think they're all bleeding together.

Wouldn't the death of the President's son be more of an issue in the last few hours ?

I know there are many time you have to suspend reality w/ this show but does anybody really think that the main terrorist bad guy would willingly accept Jack so easily ?

Why ?

It's be a risk he didn't need even if Jack was telling the truth.

As for the terrorist accepting Jack, I guess they are trying to explain it away with jack's Senate hearing and Tony talking him into it.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

I thought for sure that last night's episode would have ended with it being revealed that Tony, Bill and Chloe were all with the terrorists and fucking over Jack.

Yeah, the guy in Redemption who first found evidence of the conspiracy and tried to give the President's son the info was killed in the final scenes of Redemption. He never got the info to the President's son but he must have been suspicious following the death of his friend and investigated himself. It seems he found something and was killed about 60 or so days before this season's day.

In Redemption they killed the friend of the president's son because he saw documents linking the government to terrorists. Before this season the president's son was killed. Last night the widow of the son said he saw documents and thats why he was killed. I think that somehow they just combined the president's son and his friend. In Redemption the president's son had not seen the documents before his friend was killed. He never could have seen those documents since they were intercepted by the badies and then he was put in cement.

[JimBeam]

OK now that's making more sense.

Thanks for the details.

Why do you think the President's husband is more concerned than the President is ?

I'm sure she's got a lot of other things going on but grieving her son would seem to be a priority.

It looks like the First man's driver may kill him next episode.

Thought they showed a scene of him wearing surgical gloves.

[Aggie]

Yeah, they made it seem that way. Maybe he was wearing them because he didn't want his fingerprints on the thumb drive that the chick gave the first man. They always try to fool you in the previews.

I'm so on board. I love that this season is a different city and that Jack is working outside the confines of the law. I also like how FBI lady is already turning to the dark side. :devil2:

[JimBeam]

But now that I think about it not showing the First Son's death is pretty stupid because they did the whole build up of showing us that his Secret Service driver was apparently bad.

Again why show us any of that.

Garofalo is an awful choice for this role. She's a ballbuster, not a wuss.

Man, has she fallen. From major motion pictures with the likes of Uma Thurman to this.

Her big political mouth apparently has been her undoing.

I can't get over her being janene garofalo. she's too recognisable. and too much close face time too. oye vey.

The FBI knows she's missing. THERE IS NO REASON TO HIDE THE BODY. This isn't a spousal murder.

i havent seen thebazile postin lately...

[west milly Tom]

when a role comes up for dumpy chick,who ya gonna call?

Rosanne Barr

[Tenbatsuzen]

BTW, the FBI chick has no idea that Tony is undercover. By keeping her eyes open and blinking, she's blowing up Jack's and her own spot.

[Devo37]

i've never been hardcore into 24, though i've seen a couple of seasons.

i missed this season's premiere, but i watched the last few episodes, and this season seems downright boring. i'm cutting my loses. no mas. :thumbdown:

[extracheese]

7 hours in, and i am LOVING THIS SEASON!
But i really hope the woman lives, i love those freckles.

Also - wouldn't any safe room NOT purchased at Walmart have protection
from ventilation gas? I mean thats the ONLY WAY IN once the door is locked.

Wouldnt professional killers be disinterested in 2 guys burying a body..those 2 bad guys were
watching Tony and Jack shoveling - and licking their lips like 12 yr old watching their first porno.

[JimBeam]

I think the bad FBI guy, that's gonna try and kill the president's son's g/f, was the editor of the school news paper in Beverly Hills 90210.

Either that or a fake Nick Mancusso.

[Furtherman]

"Now bury her."


Oooooooh. Good luck with that!

[Aggie]

I was so wrong about the Secret Service guy! They give too much away in previews.

Like last night when they showed Tony's "boss" Tanner I think, holding a gun to Jack's head and Jack yelling, "Take the shot Tony!" What the hell. Way to spoil that for us. I'm normally all about previews but they need to be teasers and I like when they mislead you sometimes.

[Furtherman]

24 has always been way too spoiler-y with their previews. I never watch them.

[sailor]

yeah, i never watch them for 24, lost, etc. heck, they gave away the fact that tony was alive before the season began!!

[TonyStark]

Yeah, and once you know the actor's names even if you avoid the previews you'll find out that some character is coming back or dying, etc.

[Drunky McBetidont]

fbi girl buried alive sucks. i wonder how long she was dead?

[Doctor Manhattan]

They are still too nervous to actually show a plane destroyed in the air (Season 1 started with a bomb on a plane but 9/11 made it happen off camera)

So air traffic controls tells them to head in a direction, but don't the planes have radar on board to see if there is stuff in their path?

[Drunky McBetidont]

the president has balls. speech to cabinet sounded like O Ren's speech to the Yakuza

[Drunky McBetidont]

fucking "G" commercial was just on. tell me they aren't ripping off sleeves. that piano intro is all sleeves.

[santino]

a roomate i had a few years ago turned me on to 24. i can't get enough of it now. i'm digging this new season. i love that they brought tony back.

it took me like 2 fuckin hours wracking my brain to figure out that one of the fbi guys is Walsh, the director from entourage.

[King Imp]

I swear to God, if they try to use the 25th Amendment storyline again like they did with David Palmer a few seasons back, I may be done. It's really ridiculous how much they recycle from season to season.

[ChrisTheCop]

Last week, I told friends that I was gonna give this season a week or 2 to grab me, cause I had faith, although it hadnt happened yet.

Tonight's episode has me thinking there may just be hope.

Thank God President Taylor brought back torture.

[King Imp]

So, is anyone else feeling like this could be the end of the series unless they bring back CTU or a version of it? I honestly can't see this show continuing with Jack & Co. being rogue agents and the government constantly allowing it.

Well, when they pull it off, and the administration sees it was all former ctu, theres your reason for re-establishing ctu formally. In the real world, Bauer would take Bill's job... but in hollywood, theyll keep sending his old ass out there year after year, which frankly, as much as I love him, I hope they dont do. Finish this season off nicely, and end on a good note, I say.

[Doctor Manhattan]

At this point who is allowing it? It looks like Agent Walker is the only active government person who even knows about it. But I do agree after a few more hours Assistant Director Moss and Agent Billy Walsh will know which means the rest of the world will too and they can't realistically continue with a "rouge CTU"

[Contra]

How could they allow it? Have you SEEN the past seasons?

No, I didn't mean they are allowing it now. What I meant was at the end of this season, when all is said and done, the government will know of their actions. If there is no new CTU or equivalent, the government won't continue to allow Jack & Co. to keep going after bad guys on their own in future seasons.

That's why I said if there is no new CTU established at the end of this season I can't see any possible way this series can continue.

The new CTU is the FBI headquarters in DC, you watching the same show as me?

You mean that group of inept buffoons that are scared to put a finger on a terrorist even though lives are at stake?

Yeah, sorry, I must have missed the part where they are even close to being as effective as CTU.

[King Imp]

Always a good episode when the bad guy's plans get all fucked up. Too bad he got away, but that was to be expected.

I did want to yell at the TV though when President Taylor told that one guy (I think he's the Chief of Staff) that Mutobu would be coming in and to keep it quiet. I just thought "Great, tell someone who is probably fucking dirty like they all are and screw up the plans once again."

Once again, I just have to say how annoying it is though that everyone seems to be corrupt and they make it out that this country is full of deceiptful scumbags that would easily sell out their own country. "What's that, you want to kill tens of thousands of my fellow countrymen? That's okay, what do I care as long as I get paid."

Can we please try a new storyline next season?

[Furtherman]

As soon as I saw that plant manager pick up the phone I knew... "Dude, you are so dead."


Tony is very hesitant. He's probably going to run.

[Freitag]

That was probably the most anti-climatic end to an episode of 24 this season.

SEE: The Big Bad ride PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!

HEAR: The Big Bad CONFIRM A DINNER DATE!


A friend of mine said the next episode should just feature Dubaku enjoying his lasagna. When Dubaku was talking to his secret service henchman, when he told him to go to the Grocery store, I was half expecting him to say, "I need you to pick up a bottle of wine."


BTW, the Plant Managers death looked so familiar, where did I see that before? OH RIGHT, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

[JimBeam]

I agree that the FBI guy calling Dubaku " sir " seemed a little wierd. Even if you were betraying your country for whatever amount of money would you still call the guy " Sir " ?

And really how much money could you get to make destroying or severly hampering the status of the country worth while ?

" Hey look I have a million dollars but oh I can't spend it in LA or NY because they're both covered in mushroom clouds. "

A friend of mine said the next episode should just feature Dubaku enjoying his lasagna.

That would be great.

And then have Jack break in and in his screaming voice be like " Where is the garlic bread !! WHERE is the garlic bread !!! "

Both of these posts truly made me laugh out loud. Very funny! :lol:

[TonyStark]

The ending was a little weak, but every single episode ending with cliffhangers is a bit over the top. I thought it was a great episode though, we learned a little more about what was going on and where the next plot turn takes us.

Yeah, I didn't mind a "weak" ending, because the episode was kind of a reset.

[Tenbatsuzen]

It's time for LAsagna with Dubaku!

[CruelCircus]

Nothing on last night?

How about this- Henry Taylor's going to live through a near point blank gunshot, but Secret Service guy is going to die in seconds from basically a switchblade to the tummy?

Mitigating factor: Secret service guy could already be bleeding internally from the accident and ensuing fight with Jack.

[AKA]

Meh

The show is losing me.

The use of DC as a backdrop is too distracting, considering what a jumbled mess they are making of the locations - Jack and Girl Jack are to leave the White House and meet FBI Dude at the Capital in broad daylight (someplace Jack was just at hours ago, live and on C-Span), even though that is no where convenient for any either of them (better location: the old Post Office Paviollion - right smack between the WH and FBI) in the matter of minutes, which time FBI Dude was able to get all of the information he can muster on Bad Secret Service Guy, and (of course) they were able to find ample parking...then the stuff with Count Dubaku leaving the secret underground headquarters on some street named after Arlington (something the X-Files use to do all of the time, along with "Silver Springs") and suddenly he's at Dupont Circle - and not even to mention the tracking of the Bad Secret Service Guy with Jack driving in and around DC - just sillyness, I tell you. The next thing they will be taking the famous non-existent Georgetown Metro from NO WAY OUT to Mt Vernon Square, and pretending that's how you get to the home of George Washington.

Pffft

Just step back and tell yourself it's just a TV show. You don't think people in LA were going crazy about the Magic Bauer Transportation System?

[ChrisTheCop]

...and those of us in NY dont notice Law and Order building addresses that would be in the middle of the East River?

Another mitigating factor in how the "First Gentleman" may survive his injury is that he's the friggin First Gentleman of the United States! Best care anywhere! Granted, a SS guy may also be given preferential treatment if anyone knows who he is, but Jack didnt call an ambulance for HIM. And, although he's basically just a red shirt at this point, he may survive anyway.

I dug when the president questioned Jack's loyalties, and he said,
"No disrespect ma'am, but ask around."

[Furtherman]

Henry Taylor fell a pretty long way (with other Secret Service guy breaking his fall, but still not something to take lightly, especially someone who is not trained for that kind of thing) plus didn't he lose a lot of blood from the finger thing?

With Tony being back from the dead, all bets are off.
