24 starts Sunday night

[rapmarks]

there used to be a website with spoilers and other information about the show. My link no longer works. does anyone know how to find it?

 

[Blue Skies]

I don't know the links you are searching for, but am looking forward to a new season of 24! Kiefer Sutherland was on Leno last night and was very tight-lipped about the upcoming shows.

 

[Blue Skies]

Kiefer and the cast of 24 are going to be on Larry King on CNN tonight.

Not having watched it on network TV when it came out, I've been catching up by watching 4 - 5 episodes at a time recorded from A&E. It took me a while to get through Day 1. Here's what I learned:

1. Never believe Jack Bauer if he ever tells you "I promise, it will be ok". I ran into Keifer last year in an elevator at the W Union Square. He didn't tell me everything would be ok, thank goodness. Though he did make a remark about the odd elevator music. I didn't even realize it was him at first since I did the usual elevator thing of trying not to make eye contact. I think he must be about 5'6".

2. Why did Palmer marry that woman? She didn't turn evil overnight.

3. CTU needs to do a little bit better background checks on their own people. Why would anybody want to work for CTU?

4. Don't worry, Senator Palmer .. you have a lucrative future in the insurance biz.

5. Watching the episodes all together like that made me wonder about Kim's karma. I can't believe the situations she kept getting into, one or after the other.

And mostly, this thing is your basic Saturday afternoon serial. I enjoyed it, but I'm sure glad I got to watch the first 24 episodes over a matter of a month or so, 4 or 5 at a time.

So, I'm watching Day 2 now, which for some reason didn't begin till 8AM for some odd reason. Poor Kim, already in the thick of it.

We LOVE 24 and cannot wait for the new season. After watching a full day throughout the season, we have enjoyed watching a "full day" over our own version of a marathon over a weekend. It is much more cohesive that way. It's too easy to miss or forget a fine point or small incident watching week to week. Real life just gets in the way sometimes.

Entertainment Magazine has an entire pull-out section on 24. It has profiles on some of the new and old characters for this coming season. This should be a great season, as we find out more about Jack's background and history. Here's a link to the online version of the magazine, which doesn't have the same coverage as the print version.

I love "24"! I hope Chloe will be featured as much as in prior seasons, but with Jack on that slow boat to China alone, it could be awhile before we get back to CTU and our other fave characters. P.S. RIP Edgar Stiles. I still miss ya!

Here's a fun site with Jack Bauerisms for 24-addicts in need of a good laugh:

I miss Edgar too, he was such a great character. He and Chloe were an awesome team, too bad they killed him off.

Best show on TV =)

 

[pwrshift]

I read the other day that Palmer's brother is now President? Seems like a strange choice...but I love the show.

Keifer Sutherland was on Live with Regis and Kelly this morning. What big earlobes he has! I never noticed before today and all those closeups on a talk show format. Hey, now I'm wondering about his shoe size!

 

[Amy]

There is decent preview of the season opening (though it gave away a bit too much info for me) in today's Wall Street Journal. DH has been soooo excited about the fact that the new season is about to start. I enjoy 24 but I don't love it the way DH loves it -- he even buys the novels based on 24 and all sorts of other 24 related books.

 

[TUGBrian]

ok..so um....damn what a premier! =)

 

[gdeluca]

Wow! The premier and last nights 2 hour event and Jack had to shoot his friend - I really liked that character.

 

[Timeshare Von]

But no Golden Globe last night

 

[BSQ]

I just love this show! I've been watching since the first episode when everyone thought the wacky format wouldn't catch on. Once again it hasn't failed me. Nearly the best 4 hours of TV I've ever watched.

 

[Amy]

Yes, we enjoyed the first 4 hours. But it continues to bug me that Jack doesn't look as gaunt as he ought to look after spending nearly two years in a Chinese prison being tortured. He should not have been fed every day (as punishment) and when fed, presumably he was given bread and water or plain Chinese porridge (watered down rice). Yet Jack looks physically fit with just some scars on his hands and back. I thought actors/actresses routinely lose/gain weight now to make their characters look more believeable?

 

[pwrshift]

There are a number of things bothering me with this year's effort, such as another year with a President who has trouble making decisions or knowing how he even got elected. In addition, considering the program takes place over only 24 hours Jack has made a less than believeable recovery in only 4 hours so far. Details, details ... but I still can't wait until next Monday.

[BSQ]

well true. we too are finding lots of things that really wouldn't be the case in real life ... but it's TV for entertainment not surgery.

all the little things, just give us more to discuss after the show at home.
