Jack is Back- Discussion and spoilers about Season 5 of 24
 

Season 5 Starts this Sunday. I for one am so pumped.


Discuss this show and what you think will happen this season

Recently got Season 4 on dvd so I really need to watch it soon before it comes out over here in the UK.

Almost finished watching Smallville season 4 so I will hopefully start it soon.

I heard (spoilers in black)

Tony dies in the first episode

I didn't believe it at first, but the ads kinda make it seem that way.

They say something UNBELIEVABLE will happen in the first 10 minutes.

I heard a lot of people die in the first episode, but I don't believe that *person* is one of them Aaredub

I hope not, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Can't wait. As for what I think will happen, I imagine there will be some catastrophic event that ties into a mysterious incident in Jack's past, and he'll be the only one able to save the world, but only by going outside of his authority and getting on the bad side of the CTU boss du jour (Sean Astin).

I'm envisioning a scene where Jack pulls a gun on someone and yells. Not sure how that'll fit in, though.

:D

Seriously, though, I can't wait. "24" is one of the top five or so shows on TV. The writing, direction, and acting has been top-notch for four years, and this one looks to be excellent, as well.

JACK IS BACK

masterbating over here

what the fuck is going on. jesus christ

seriously, I have no reaction to this whatsoever.

This is simply phenemoenal

Palmer is dead

UNBELIEVEABLE

i want to get into this show but that means i'd have to rent seasons 1-4 and glue myself to a tv for about a month. probably won't happen

Oh man, so glad I recorded this so I can watch it before tommorow night.

Tommorow night, the conclusion to the Season Premiere. Fuck off any other TV show that thinks they have the power to out rating 24

woah, just woah

good god. still 22 hours to go.

I only watched the 1st 2 seasons. But im thinking of getting into this one. Why can't they make more movies like this?!

So I watched all of season 1 and some of season 2 before I got bored. Decided to watch it tonight and it's not too bad. I wanna kill that dipshit kid though.

Tonight was the first time I have ever watched 24. It was pretty intense. Gonna try and watch the whole season.

Good stuff so far. They kinda spoiled things ahead of time by crediting Dennis Haysbert as "special guest appearance" and Reiko Aylesworth as "guest starring."

See but this is what makes 24 "24". You have dipshit people interfering with a God.

I mean I swear, Bauer is better than Bond. I mean they are similair in so many ways

They both have the License to kill mentality.
They both have initials JB.
Both first names begin with JA.

Think about that one for awhile

I've only ever watched the first season. Havent seen the others, but i made it a point to watch tonight and i must say, I'm hooked again. I wont miss tommorow night and i'll do my best to catch every episode.

I dont know what happend in the last seasons, but any chance Elisha Cuthbert makes an appearence once she finds out he is actually alive? Or is she dead? I have no clue. I just know what i know from the first season.

When Palmer got shot i was like " Damn killing the black man off already " then remember i missed like 4 seasons.

Spoiler for later on in the season:

Kim returns later in the season

I was very disappointed by the return of Wayne Palmer. I couldn't stand his character in Season 3. Hopefully he will fade out of the picture soon.

THERE'S NO TIME!

So here's the thing.

The way Fox ran the ad's, the way they ran the promo's was in my opinion, awesome. 24 returned to it's form that has made it a signature for TV shows. I thought last season was a little off, don't get me wrong, it was good, but it wasn't great. Last night and Sunday night restored my faith in 24. You still have so many unanswered questions after last night.

Tony- Is he dead, is he still in surgery? I loved how there was no mention to him whatsoever about his health. It really leaves you wondering.

The Mole which is one of Logan's aide's- I knew going into the season that they would have another mole. I mean it was a given, they've done it for all 4 of the seasons so far, why stop now. But the way that it was done, and who it is, truly shocked me. I would have never have thought it was the President's aide. Never.

Audrey Raines- It's obvious that when Jack returns to CTU, she will not show the hatred for him the last time we saw these 2 together. She will be more calmer, but the way they are going to lead it up, it will make it seem like they want her and Jack back together. As long as I get to see more of her though, I'm happy.

CTU in general- The guy that was introduced yesterday (The guy from either DoD or Division) that realized Jack was using old protocol. What truly is this guy's role here. And with him going over Buchanan, what does that mean for Billie Boy.

Martha and President Logan- President Logan, although seemingly trying to get things done, is still going to cower down when it comes to him being the strongest at the worst time. When I saw they were going to play another role of a first lady, I was a little worried. But the way the story is going from her perspective is just awesome. I kinda figured that they had changed the voice recording, but still.

The Nerve Gas- Now I have not done a whole lot of research on it, but obviously it's very deadly. If anyone can add something about this, it would be appreciated.


Jack Bauer- The biggest thing is is that Fox signed on 24 for 2 more years. So this is the first year. But the biggest thing is "Can they really keep Jack alive for one more season". When they killed off Dennis Haysbert and Reiko :(, part of me actually smiled, cause I thought to myself, this could be the last year for 24. Whereas that might make me sad, I want it to end on a good note. And when I say good note, I mean ratings, because let's face it, when they terminate the production of 24, Jack Bauer will have to die as well. But about Jack, Keifer's calmness and his attitude when he's on one of his tirade's is what makes his character Jack. I really can't wait to see where they are going with everything now.


Comments from you guys?

Don't forget that everyone knows Jack is alive including Kim so maybe she'll play some part in this season? Maybe a hostage ala Season 1?

The producers are considering continuing the show without Jack. Also, they are working on a movie. Big article on it in Entertainment Weekly a couple of weeks ago.

I think that Derek kid has dibs on the hostage role for this season.

Is it bad when you are cheering for the terrorist to shoot someone? I wanted Derek dead. :o

Ok, are they expecting us to believe that the presidential staff people are so thorough that they even take manual logs of the the recorded phone conversations, but they don't have a single freakin security camera to show what happened to the first lady? C'mon now! Also, if the prez and company are just visiting LA, why is there entire archive there?

This season is still interesting, but the President/First Lady storyline is really pissing me off. It's not quite as annoying as Sherry and Wayne in Season 3, but if it goes on like this it might get there.

Also, I don't have a problem with El Hobbit running things so far. It's kinda hard to take him seriously in the role, but the character isn't really a pain in the ass yet.

This is 24. You have to suspend disbelief...A LOT.

I'm used to ignoring the impossible things dealing with timeframes, technology, etc, but if they've proved one thing over the years, its that somebody is always watching everything. The not having a camera in the first lady's room thing just bugs me. Especially since they made it a point to show how anal the administration was when it comes to those sorts of things.

I'll drop it though, 24 is still my favorite show :)

Another thing about 24, is that something early in the season may not pay off right away.

Maybe in ten weeks, we'll find out that someone did have a camera in that room, and that he wasn't alone.

doot DOOT doot DOOT doot DOOT

DAMMIT, THERE'S NO TIME!

24 was great last night. I like how Cummings a bad guy, but he thought he was the doing the right thing. Love that kinda stuff.

Last night was the kind of episode that made it painfully obvious that they write the show 6 episodes at a time. It wasn't bad (like season 3) but it was noticeable.

Yeah but still 24 was the goods last night. I didn't think Cummings would really tell the President what was going on. Anytime you have Jack running around threatning to poke people's eyes out with knives is fun. The big question is, who do you guys think is the person that will step out from under the bed in the Penthouse?

God I hate Walt Cummings so much.

Where the hell is Tony? Season 3 he got shot in the throat and was walking around CTU in a few hours. GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR MAN.

Thought last night was another strong episode. When I noticed in the credits that David Fury wrote it (used to write for Lost) I knew it was gonna be pretty kick ass.

AreDub, please stop whining. like what's the deal here?

Awesome episode last night.

It looked like that guy under the bed in the preview was Tony.

Right now the rumors are either Tony or Kim.

I have confirmed through IMDB.com though that Kim will be appearing on this week's episode

I'm not whining, I just feel a little let down by this season so far. Season 4 was probably the best season of the entire series, it had so much going on that I didn't mind when they fudged a few details. Season 5 hasn't done that for me yet. Most of the characters I like aren't being used (or were killed) so it's easier for me to get distracted and start picking things apart. I guess I can keep my complaints to myself though :p

I'd say season 2 was the strongest season, with the exception of the mountain lion. 1 had the amnesia. 3 just seemed disjointed at points and 4 was good but so many plotholes that were just too hard to overlook.

But hey, 24 kicks all amounts of ass.

I dunno about you, but I'm pretty pumped about this season so far.

And I'm putting my money on Tony.

Yeah this season has been going at a rapid pace. The moles have been found out already (that we know of), which would have taken a few more eps in the past seasons. I was surprised Cummings admitted his involvement to the President so early.

Something big is prolly gonna happen towards the halfway point, per usual. The nerve gas is only the beginning. The whole Chinese after Jack thing is supposed to be big this season as well. Cuz if they drop that, well, that'd just be dumb.

24 usually has about 3 or 4 really good episodes at the start. Then it slows down after that untill it comes to the now yearly mid season "cliffhanger" then slows down again untill the last 4 or 5 episodes.


But this season was always going to be good. The last episode of season 4 was prob the best 24 cliffhanger episode ever and did such a great job in setting up the next series. The last 15 minutes of that episode had me "marking out" non stop.

I also think that they shouldnt have killed off Michelle not only because she has been the hottest 24 girl ever (yes even hotter than kim) but it would have been awesome if Tony (dont get me wrong Tony is my fav 24 character ever )got killed or kidnapped and we see Michelle acting without Tony for a long peroid of time.

And just a sidenot am I the only one who would think Jack would have made a great character on Lost

Well, he would've gotten Walt back. That's for damn sure. His flashbacks would be like when he went in and single handedly saved Audrey and the Secretary of Defense at the beginning of Season 4, lol.

His flashbacks would take up an entire season.

"Mr. Bauer, it's too risky to go into the jungle to s--"

"DAMMIT, JOHN! THERE'S NO TIME!"

"B--"

"GET DOWN ON THE GROUND, NOW!"

Or when his wife died at the end of the first season.

Also if Jack was on the island because he is such a badarse he would have punched Clare in the stomach ages ago killing her baby

It's coming to the UK next week. I can't wait. The Prequel was shown yesterday and looked great.

I'll tell you what, Jack kicked serious ass last night. We now know that eventually Kim is going to be brought back into CTU :)

The thing that shocked me was the way they built that 15 year old up to be something big. And at first I was like, This Fucking sucks. But then when she shot the guy, I was like "That's 24"

Cummings hanging himself did not suprise me one bit, I knew it was going to happen the minute Novak called Logan.

Next week is going to be hot though. Jack Bauer posing as a terrorist :) :)

I dont think he will be posing as a terrorist...the yellow tie guy knows what he looks like and who he is so they are probably going to make him come with them and set the stuff off

Kim coming back should be great. Her past storylines have been so awesome. :roll:

Anyone see the John McCain cameo last night?

ANd we've got the gay sideplot of this season. Lynn and his whorebag junkie sister.

Where is the John McCain cameo?

When they came back from commercial, forget which time. When they have the split screen up, he walks in and hands Audrey a file and walks out. I was like :wtf: Then I checked online to see if it was him and it was. Random.

Alright I will have to look for this.

Check this out, was reading on some other sites. Might have found out who the other mole that will turn on Jack is if there is another one....NEEDS TO BE HIGHLIGHTED TO SEE....



AUDREY

Oh snap.

That makes no sense at all. There would be no motive for it.

Sure it does. It would make the most logical sense ever. Kim can't be reached, shut the fuck up. She just never made the call.

Another badass episode. And Jack breaking the dude's neck with his legs was siiiiick.

But why would she do that? Thats the part that doesn't make sense. There is no reason why she would betray her country and I don't see a reason why she would want to see screw Jack over other than killing her husband in Season 4 but it looked like she cared more when Jack "died" at the end of the season compared to her husband.

And if they go on to reveal that she screwed over the country just to get back at Jack then that is the most retarded reason ever.

LOL, that would be terrible.

I think Rudy is involved

I started to think that an episode or two back, but then they did the thing with his sister. I guess they could just be trying to make us feel sorry for him, then turn him or something. I dunno.

Here's the thing. When his sister and her pimp boyfriend took the money, they also took his CTU card. This was clearly shown and it's going to make the prequel make a lot more sense now.

LOL, when the helicopter was going down, it looked like the smoke monster from lost was attacking it.

Anyway, next week looks good :y:

Someone explain to me what happened I missed last nights episode due to studying for midterms.

The smoke monster from Lost attacked the helicopter.

Ok can anyone actually tell me what happened?

In a shocking move, Jack broke protocol.
In a more shocking move, President Logan acted like a loser again.

And Jack went "Dammit!"

lol

Jack took down a helicopter with his bare hands.


.... and a handgun.


.... and the monster from lost.

Next week on 24....

what a kick ass episode tonight, all these explosions and suspense. Seriously, the best one I've seen so far. What a prick of a president though, he is going to get it bad before this season ends. Also, it is wicked when a rising occurs in an office situation, but I do enjoy the Lynn character for the controversy, he'll stick around most likely.

:cool:

Yea, good stuff tonight. Next week's 2 hours looks pretty hot too.

That was Intense

The return of Kim next week, and how much you guys want to bet the nerve gas is released inside CTU

Jack Bauer is the leading cause of death in middle eastern men.

True story.

In other news, I don't know about anyone else but I can't wait until President Logan gets his comeupance. I just hate the guy. Which I suppose means he's doing a good job at his part.

Also one mugging and Lynn goes absolutley apeshit. He was pretty reasonable before it for the most part.

lol Robocop turned heel.

Also, Aaron is the man.

Catching up sucks :(

I'm only like 1/4 of the way through the 2nd season :'(

That first hour was intense.

X-MEN

Oh yeah, pretty awesome episode(s) too.

My God. These 2 episodes tonight absolutely froze me to the bone. Next week is going to be the best episode ever too

A lot of situations this season have been updated versions of things that have been done in the series before, but the situation they are in now is so far from anything they've ever done. Wow. Intense.

Even if Jack can break out and get them out, where does this leave them. How do they get out? A lot of questions next week :love:

Even better, if the terrorists decide to release more gas, how do you get CTU back online.


Oh man :love:

Great 2 hours. Just watched. Too bad about Edgar though :sad:

C. Thomas Howell :cool:

Thank god the hobbit's sister was killed off. She was tough to look at.

Also ROFL @ when the lady bangs on the class as she is choking to death and Jack says matter-of-factly, "There's nothing we can do for her." Then he sees Edgar and goes "Oh my god".

Sweet X3 trailer too.

Jack shooting Robocop's wife. Holy shit.

It looked like Robocop was wheeled into the same area as Tony. Me thinks Tony will get to do some interrogating of his own. :love:

And Curtis is the man.

wow, that was a f'n great night of 24!

I cant remember being glued to my tv like that in a long time waiting to see what would happen..

sad to see Edgar go though...

also...did they lock off the place where they are holding sean astins character? if not, did he die too then?

If they didn't seal off holding, I'm sure they moved him to the same place they moved any other prisoners (apparently, medical, since it looked like they took Christopher to where Tony was recuperating).

Whoa, major 'strong ' rumours going around the net. that a main character will die in Ep 13. The rumours (which are all from a reliable source) is that the person who will die next week is:

SPOILERS IN BLACK

Tony

END SPOILERS

See I've heard that too, but there are also rumors from before that that person would return as a main character in Mid March. So I can't find it to be that person. I think these were the same people who said Chloe would die in the CTU bloodbath.

I personally see it being Lynn. This other person will want revenge against the terrorists where as Lynn will be tried for his CTU card being stolen and for the deaths of 40% of the people inside CTU.

http://www.ipspod.com/24/7pm8pm.mp4

Preview for next week

That's basically where this whole death rumor started. It's based on the fact that the person Jack is holding at the end looks unmistakingly like a certain character by the name of SPOILERS Tony AlmeidaEND SPOILERS
