24's Redemption
 

Trailer: http://www.fox.com/24/trailer/

I absolutely love the idea of Cherry Jones playing the role of President. http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment...rry_jones.html I absolutely loved her part (albeit small) in Ocean's 12.

Also new at least for the first episode is Jon Voight

Back this season:
Peter MacNicol will be back as Tom Lennox
Powers Booth will again play President Noah Daniels
Mary Lynn Rajskub as Chloe (my favorite)
Carlos Bernard as Tony Alemeda (how many times has he been killed?)

I watched the 2nd 1/2 last night so I have to go back and catch it at the beginning...it's kinda fun that an old friend of Jack's is coming back as a bad guy....LOL

I was just thinking....

if every episode = one hour in the life of Jack Bauer....he has had one hell of week, and should probably get some rest

Watching last night made me wonder...

Is it too convenient for Tony to be a part of the terrorist group electonically jacking planes?

I have a funny feeling that there is more to this than meets the eyes....like a CIA plant or sumn.

ALl the signs are there

- supposed to be dead

- wife is dead

- last season he had no real job

- has a reason to go after the gov't.

and as per usual, there are some dirty agents within the gov't that will be rooted out because of this.

I couldn't help but think they stole the story line from James Bond. He is suppose to be dead. He is burried. He returns.

I hope this doesn't turn into season 5 all over again......

Oh and Benzgirl, the dead thing has already been done...Jack came back from the dead in Season 5!

I knew it....Tony and Chloe and bill!!! WOOOOOWW

ETA: what kinda fone is jack using?? It doesnt look like a Sprint fone like they have used....

I had the same suspicions you did. In yesterday's episode, when Tony asked the guy above him for more details regarding the operation, and he didn't give him any, I knew something was up.

Plus, I figured they wouldn't bring Tony back for one episode, only to have him caught, arrested, and sent to jail. That would have been too un-24-like.

And now they're all back. woot woot.

Except Edgar. Poor Edgar.
And Audrey. Eh!

So Kidron Ohio was spared from the chemical factory blowing up. Funny, when I think of Kidron, I think of the Amish.

Great play on poetic license.

Does anyone else agree with me that this season seems like a cheap remake of season 5? Which was amazing...

:eek: at the beginning of last night's episode!

RIGHT???


Bill !!!



You have a feeling that the FBI boss also is behind some of this?

I don't know. I'm definitely paying attention to things he says and does, but it almost seems too obvious.

Yes...

That's the problem now with 24 (and after watching seasons 1 thru 4 in one year doesn't hel) is it's too formulaic

- Always somebody on 'our' side who is dirty

- The president's life is always in danger

- Jack promises to work with his handlers BUT always manages to find a way to disobey orders

- Nobody in CTU or FBI or any of the alphabet orgs NEVER listen and EVEN AFTER jack warns them and stuff goes to pot...they STILL don't listen.


I am waiting for the day Jack tells the gov't to go f*ck themselves silly.

Me too! And the first one he needs to say that to is that stupid senator. I cannot believe that after Jack walked out of that "safe room" with the president, the first words out of the sentator's mouth were, "Jack, what have you done?"

What a jerk!! I was sooo hoping the terrorists would shoot him!

People don't bite the hand that is feeding them......I think he is bad...

Ok, after last night I am not sure if I am going to watch this show again....I love this show so much I hate it.... :eek:

No Tony...Don't...

Yes Tony.

Shall we start up a pool on how Tony dies ?

He doesn't die. Jack dies from being exposed to the bioweapon and Tony takes over the world! Muahahaha!

... but not really.

I thought he was going to go out in a patriotic blaze of glory, but he almost killed Jack...so that ain't going to happen!


Who is this new super bad group he is working for?

Yay for Jack catching Tony!

Boooooooo for Kim playing the damsel (daughter) in distress...again!


I wonder how much is going to be left unresolved in the finale?

As far as Tony's death...I think he 'suicides' only to return one more time in another season or it's just 'unknown'.

I have to say...I liked the way it ended last night and now we know there is a much bigger story going on...and the head guy they caught has been pulling strings since season ONE!!!

I know, that was crazy. Palmer, Logan.. he's been behind everything. Insane. And after Tony "turned bad" again and killed the head FBI guy (can't remember his name), I suspected he'd "turn good" again at some point.. or have some other agenda of his own. And sure enough, he did. But I definitely didn't predict the details of that agenda ahead of time.

Yea, the Tony story line made since in the end because.....well....its what Tony would do! :rolleyes:

Ok, a few things didn't make sense to me....all of the sudden Will Patton is the bad guy who has run everything? I don't get how it goes back to season 1?

Also, during the 5th season (The best IMO) when Logan was double siding everyone, he was constantly on the phone with the bald dude from ER. The same guy who next season we find out is Jack's brother. Then Jack's dad was the bad guy who killed Palmer.....

So what did Will Patton's character have to do with it? I just didn't get the connections, but I was very sleepy!

I think it's the idea that he was secretly running the show behind the scenes. It took Tony four years to track him down and actually meet him face to face. Patton kept a low profile for a reason.

i wish jack shot tony in the head.

tony's a good guy.

tony's dead.

tony's alive.

tony's a bad guy.

tony's gone.

tony's a bad guy.

tony's a good guy.

tony's a bad guy.

tony's a good guy that has done super bad things and has been waiting for 3 years to do bad things to a really bad guy.

tony should've caught 2 in the chest and one in the head. tap tap. tap.

tony's still alive.

he and his cabal has probably been playing everybody since the first season...remember all of the 'obvious' bad guys been getting some kind of help and I think right along sseaon 3 or 4 we find out it was jack's brother and father that was somehow involved...so I think it's safe to say that everything that has been happening somehow has been happening due to our own people who was running the "Blackwater - like" agencies who wanted to show that our own government agencies can't handle tough situations on thier own and finally this season we are starting to find out who the real powers behind this are.

You forgot about the other time that Tony was a good guy.. when he was working with Bill and Cloe before he disappeared. I think? It makes my head hurt trying to put it all together.
