Looks fantastic!!

I love court cases and the rumors are true about Tony and no CTU! I think it will be a nice change. I'm really looking forward to Season 7. January can't come any sooner! lol

Here we go!!!

As much as I've loved 24 for years, I swore after last season that it had played its course, gotten redundant and sloppy, and that I would never watch it again.

Well, because of that trailer, I can kiss that pledge goodbye (at least for the time being). :rolleyes:

WTF, does every actor who appeared in Robocop get a shot in this series or what? When does Nancy Allen finally show up? :D

Same here Palladin.

In fact, I've tried to watch Heroes, but that's too much X-Men for my taste....

And this 24 trailer kicked some very serious ....

Looks great! But trailers always look great. Hope it's not a Die Hard 2 rehash.

What if KS has to go to jail? Wasn't that a serious possibility very recently?

Ya, I'm worried about that. I hope the judge is a fan of 24. :P

But does either Kim or the cougar make a cameo return!?!?!?

They could use real life footage for the show if needed.:D

But does either Kim or the cougar make a cameo return!?!?!?
Probably not, as neither of them are that tied in with Tony. Hey, maybe we can look forward to the resurrections of Michelle and Nina Myers, instead. :D I'll bet Nina could growl better than any cougar could, anyway. ;)

BTW, one other thing. I wasn't paying much attention at the end of last season. Whatever happened to Jack's son?

That kid was Jack's nephew, son of Jack's evil brother Graham. All we really know is he didn't die (unfortunately).

Oh yeah baby, looking forward to this new season and the new direction they are taking.

Thanks a lot, it looks awesome.

And you bought into that? C'mon now, its Jack's kid. They just don't want you to know it yet so they can save it for one of their many 'startling' developments.
:rolleyes:

Let me ask you it this way: How long was the time interval between when Nathan Petrelli's former wife left the Jack Shack, ended up with his brother, and the 'nephew' was born?

It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but some day in the not too distant future (next sunday A.D. - for the few remaining MST3K fans out there) the adventures/perils of young jb jr. will be an integral part of this series.

It happened so fast, but that looked a lot like Henry ‘ET’ Thomas that Jack was getting ready to torture.

Good strategery to get away from the turrorists plots. They got me back.

Does anybody else have that not so fresh feeling with the new season!??!? I mean seriously. So the idea is that Tony survived day 5 and since Jack was abducted by the Chinese he didn’t know about this? I would think that between day 6 and the upcoming day 7, Bauer would have realized that Tony would have survived!?!? “Oh hey, by the way Jack, Tony pulled through and will be ok.” I just don’t see how that would have gone un-noticed unless they have something ready to show us why and how for that matter. So Tony is going to be the villain character whining because his life was ruined by CTU and the USA gov’t so he is going to go ape shite against us. So Jack will probably kill him by mid season only to find out Tony was working with someone else that is bigger and badder. I’m a fan of the show and will watch it regardless, just seems like the creators have dug themselves in a hole on this one. That being said, I do like the threat of the plot (taking down the airline grids, power plant, etc.) but just not sold on the villain or who is doing it.

I doubt Tony is the villain. Doesn't make much sense to go to such incredible extremes to bring back a character from the dead because he was so well liked - just to make him an unlikable character.

Tony may not be a villain, but it wouldn't be '24' if they didn't try to make us believe he's the villain for the first half of the season. Then Tony will be exonerated by Jack and the second tier villain will be unearthed (which still won't be the final villain). My bet is it's Ryan Chapelle. If Peter Petrelli can survive a nuclear explosion, then why not him? :D

I think Chapelle was the CTU boss the Bauer capped because the baddies said so in the train yard or something.

I did read this summer that the creators srcapped a production idea a few weeks before they started production and went with plan B which is Tony A being the bad guy. They wanted Gary Oldman and already had the plot figured out but he pulled out or something.

Did someone forget to ask Tony if he was dead? This show has gone from really decent to downright comical in about 2 years. Sad..

Tony did not have a silent clock in season 5. I knew they would bring him back. I just wonder how he made it through because wasn't he injected with something. Henderson injected him with something. I forget what it was. But yeah! Season 7 looks good. I can't wait!

Isn't that always the case when the end about to come. OTOH, what's there to watch on Monday beside 24 ;-)

Cheers,
TP.

There should be a pool started as to when Bill Buchanan or Chloe O'Brian will be killed off. The writers seem to enjoy killing off characters from previous seasons. We also don't know if Papa Bauer/Farmer Daggett is REALLY dead, now do we?

As to KS's jail time interfering with the timeline, I had read that he will be serving his sentence in two parts - the first 40 days during the Christmas/New Year's hiatus, the remaining time after the season is over.

WTF, does every actor who appeared in Robocop get a shot in this series or what? When does Nancy Allen finally show up? :D


It's either Robocop, actors that worked with KS in movies before (Lou Diamond Phillips, Dennis Hopper), or Star Trek leftovers (Farmer Daggett was in ST:First Contact; this year's "security specialist" having played the doctor in ST: Enterprise and an overlap with Senator Evil having played the President of the Federation in ST6 and was the main villain that "kills" Murphy in Robocop).

Looks like creators of 24 were really impressed with Die Hard 2 and Live Free Or Die Hard:D

Die Hard 24: Tony Didn't Die

Hey, if they can bring back Tony, where's the uber-cutie, Michelle?

hey look, a plot device that has never been used before

a mole...this time, inside the FBI

they really think the viewers are stupid...mole after mole after mole.

The only quarrel I would have with your statement is the word 'mole' in the singular tense, as there have been a few seasons in which there has been more than one mole.

I guess the lesson that 24 wishes to leave for its audience is that you can never have too many moles. :rolleyes:

Great, another single computer system that apparently runs every government subsystem.

I guess when the projected Africa subplot went up in flames, the writing staff went out to see Die Hard 4.

Maybe they can even hire Justin Long…

Die Hard 24: Tony Didn't Die

Hey, if they can bring back Tony, where's the uber-cutie, Michelle?

If not Michelle, then how about Mandy?

Bring back Jack's daughter!

If not Michelle, then how about Mandy?

You mean Naked Mandy. That's her official name...

You mean Naked Mandy. That's her official name...

Actually, according to AICN where it originated, it's "Nakedness-prone, super-hot lesbian assassin Mandy". :D

And if they can bring Tony back from the dead, they sure ought to be able to bring Mandy back from exile on 'The L Word'. I guarantee there wouldn't be a more popular casting choice among the mostly-male fan base of this show.

I have always cut 24 a lot of slack where its inherent preposterousness is concerned because that preposterousness is an important element in generating the incredible energy and tension the show has. I suppose that’s good because accepting the resurrection of the stony cold dead Tony Almeda requires not just the suspension of disbelief, but amnesia. :)

I took a similar position earlier on in this thread. However, I recently read an article in TV Guide discussing a 24 flashback episode that includes a crossover with Ned of Pushing Daisies. So now I can understand how my earlier skepticism was misplaced. :rolleyes:

It’s unlawful to talk about Mandy and not post a picture.:mad: Out of respect for those at work, I’ll not post my favorite. But ya’ll know which one that is, so use your imagination. :)

Bring back Jack's daughter!

Bringing Kim back would be great!

The new season looks good, Im excited.

Although I have all the current DVDs of 24 (Seasons 1-5) and have seen them all more than once, I confess that I had forgotten all about the stupendously beautiful Mia Kirshner as Mandy. How in the world could I have done THAT? :)

I think once Season 6 comes out on DVD, I will watch them all again. BTW what happened to the 24 on blu-ray announcement? I was looking forward to that! I know Prison Break Season 1 is still dropping on the format.

If not Michelle, then how about Mandy?

You did catch Michelle (Reiko) on ER last week, right?

ugh, whoever insinuated "staleness" is dead right.

No. I avoid network programming until 24 comes on in January. Too many sports to watch in the fall.

Not amensia, because Jack says in the trailer "That's not possible. Tony Almeda is dead." Where the suspension of disbelief will need to take place is that a witness can actually appear before a Senate committee in less than 15 minutes (otherwise, this is going to be a really boring first episode).

wow. on the one hand, season looks exciting. on the other hand, this show has jumped the shark about 10 times over. i wish they'd just end it on a high note, not keep dragging it out to points of stupidity, like they are doing with prison break.

I think he's now Horatio Caine's son on CSI:Miami. :D

Bringing Kim back would be great!


Eye candy - yes.

But she is a 1000lb weight on the show and I can do without another cougar type storyline. :cool:

I dunno, I'm REALLY on the fence with this one. I guess it depends on how many of my current shows go on hiatus/are cancelled. I'm sure they went to season 7 just so they can run some sort of 24/7 punchline ad, but I really think they have scrapped the bottom of the barrel. I wish they would just drop the "24 hour" writing device, as I think their writing team could really generate some good stuff. I'm going to really laugh at how fast they zip around DC. Can't wait to see hours 0600-0900 and 1500-1800. If they even TOUCH the beltway and don't spend an entire episode stuck in traffic I'm gonna be pissed :P

Looks like they dumped most of the lead weight plot lines from previous seasons (the old pres, his daughter, his "nephew", his dad, CTU, etc) with the exception of a few favorite/contracted actors and the inexplicable Tony reappearance. I hope to hell he isn't out for revenge over Michelles death, all of THREE+ YEARS later!

The main problem is that Bauer is now a parody of himself, instead of a take on an "American" James Bond. We expect him to be hard nosed, torture for info, fatally revive a wounded teammate to get more info, be distrusted by his bosses, always be right, and be betrayed by his closest buddy.

Tony was only mostly dead.

"Can he live?" "It'd take a miracle." :)

I think they have changed the series to not include real time when it comes to traveling around each city.

Fox Hears 'Strike' and Makes The Call: '24,' You're Out!

Fox, the network best situated to withstand a long writers' strike -- thank you, "American Idol" -- got out ahead of the game yesterday and announced its Writers' Strike Schedule, on which it yanks serialized action drama "24," possibly for the season, "to ensure that 'Day 7' can air uninterrupted, in its entirety."

"One of the things we've tried to do, given the hand we've been dealt . . . is to see if we can grow some successes to prepare us," Fox scheduling chief Preston Beckman told The TV Column. "Hell's Kitchen" and "Moment of Truth" are "shows we can bring back if there's a very prolonged strike. We have to do what we need to do," he said.

"If the strike is resolved, we will revisit '24,' " Beckman added. "We respect how the audience consumes this show on network television and we don't want to violate the pact we've made with them over the last three years."

Jack Bauer laughs at work stoppages. Put the heads of the studios and the WGA in a room with Jack Bauer and a wet towel and they'll have an agreement in 24 minutes. :D

Sutherland had better get his ass to jail and knock out that sentence before filming starts!

LOL, he can't even get out of a DUI probation violation without doing time! :rolleyes:

That man is not Jack Bauer. Jack Bauer laughs at those with mere alcohol issues. Jack Bauer knows that real men get hooked on smack and then kick the habit in one measly day! :p

More reality shows and no 24?


I need a hacksaw!

I think FOX is jumping the gun canceling 24 due to the writers’ strike. I mean look at last season, and that was done WITH writers. How bad would it be without them?:rolleyes:
