The new series is starting here next month. Can hardly wait. I got a t-shirt for my sister's birthday with a picture of Jack on it. It said "If you don't watch 24 you don't know Jack" ;D

It's starting here on Sunday. I've just seen a preview. Is that a mullet Jack is sporting?
It's good to see Chloe's still in it. I loved the Chloe and Edgar show in the last season.
No mullet on Jack......and yes Cloe and Edgar still have that same chemistry....not gonna spoil too much for ya but Chloe has another man in her life now too.
Bauer is a loose cannon in the new season,more so than ever since he was not employed by CTU when the season started,therefore he could do what ever he wants. :)

Thank you Jellyfish so much ;D
Your welcome.Post back here when you see the first episode. ;)
Oh I will ;D

And there was another 2 hour special the next night....the way it was shown here...they get you hooked with 4 hours right from the start.
I am looking forward to tomorrow night when it picks up for me...it's a shame we are behind on episodes...I will try not to spoil it for you until you catch up a little.
Edgar dead! :'(
QuoteEdgar dead! :'(
Wow! Is that where you are at? So much has happened since then......the last 3 episodes have been the best I remember seeing from any season.....hang on! ;D

Oh I will. I wonder if Jack stays with the Ice Maiden or if he goes back to Derek's mum who looks like a real woman. Chloe's little hamster-face looks so sad now.
Well I watched the last two episodes last night. Jack on a slow boat to China!!! Surely that must mean another series. But you never know with 24.
I liked the thing with Martha. Liked how she saved that day by standing up against her husband. Hope she can get together with Aaron. They deserve it. Don't know what the Morris (Maurice??) thing was all about. An unnecessary ex-husband for Chloe. Was he English? Australian?
I'm also a bit worried about Jack's soul. Some of the killings he's carried out have been out and out murders.
How do you think this one rated? Jellyfish?

Well Jack is a loose cannon...pushing his job to the limit...if he kills someone it is always in the name of saving 1000 innocents.I really liked this season,might have been the best one,IMO.They have a really good segue into the next season with the ending of this one...and yes they have Keiffer signed on for like 2 more seasons so there will be a next season...and also a movie is in the works.

I didn't know that - something to look forward to. I wonder if that bank manager's wife is still tied up in the bedroom. And where is Wayne Palmer? I hope Martha finds happiness with Aaron. I love it ;D

Ha...all this is fresh in your mind when it's been off for months here....I am gonna havta go back and refresh my memory when the DVD comes out or watch my tapes.I heart Aaron Pierce and Martha. :) Jack is gonna go through hell next season while he is captive unless he escapes or is rescued.But in the bowels of that ship with that evil old chinese guy oh my!...oops sorry...don't mean to offend but he is very vindictive for sure.
Can't wait till next season....maybe I'll have a DVD recorder by then and I can send you the episodes quicker than you can see them...be the first on your block to have them...lol
Day 6 starts in the UK tonight. How's it going in the US? Jellyfish? Anyone?

They showed 1st 4 episodes back to back to back last week...it was great......I won't spoil it for you but lemme know when you see it.Episode 5 comes on tomorrow night.
This show rules for the simple fact that they will make the story go exactly where you don't think it's going. It's hard to be surprised these days, but they still manage to do it. I was not expecting the ending to Episode Four to actually happen. :o
Just watched the first two. Jack's on good form. When he bit that bloke's throat! Looking forward to many twists and turns to come. (Not sure about Chloe's guy's cod-English accent :-/)
Quote(Not sure about Chloe's guy's cod-English accent :-/)

That first two hours was pretty brutal wasn't it?!

It was indeed. I wonder if we've got Kim being chased by an Grizzly bear to look forward to ;)
jesusmarymotherofgod.......that has got to be the biggest twist (hour 5)....poor Jack. He needs some serious f'n therepy. :-X

OMG! Got to wait another 3 weeks for that. Sounds exciting :o
The show sucks this year....that is all. :(
It is getting a bit better from week to week...this past week's episode was pretty good...I am not giving up yet.
Anyone else watching or have you given up on it this season?
I'm still watching. It has got a different feel this time. I don't think I like Jack's self doubt. And the thing with this father and brother is weird (the father's just taken Jack's nephew to get his mother to take Jack into a trap). I can't abide Morris (Maurice?).
It's being shown immediately before Lost here as well which doesn't help. I used to like absorbing the previous hour's action and speculating about it. Sometimes I'd call my sister in France to talk about it, but now it's straight on to Lost which I also love.
What don't you like about this one Jellyfish?
Still a top notch show, but not as good as last year for sure.
I am greatly enjoying this season, but yes it is not the best one they have had. Even their so so season are light years ahead of most of the dreck on TV. It is a nice slow build though. By the end of the season will be all feeling BAUER TIME baby!!!!
Biggest disappointment this season is we have only really heard about schematics in one episode :(

What don't you like about this one Jellyfish?
It's just not as intense this year....and Wayne Palmer is not believable as a president with the goatee and all.....he is giving it his best shot but I still don't like him being prez.The characters are not as interesting either....Morris is an idiot...he gets on my nerves bigtime in not a good way.Jack's self doubt is believable though since he was imprisoned in China for 2 years or whatever.I think the best thing about this season is Jack and his insecurity about his job and all.
I must say that last weeks episode here in the states was one of the best so far this season....I won't spoil it for you doc. ;)
I agree with you about Wayne Palmer. His brother was completely believable as president but not him. Morris's accent drives me nuts. Is he meant to be English? If so he's been to the Dick Van Dyke school of elocution. How about a little speculation? Could Josh be Jack's son? There's clearly history between Jack and Marilyn, and Josh is very like Kim.

Well that was bizarre. I wrote the name of the actor from Mary Poppins but the site changed his surname to 'woman'. In the section I'm writing it still says "d*ke" but the word showing on the forum is woman. Weird.
Try using "Penis Van Lesbian"
That is hilarious!

All right. For all of you who were worried about the pace, I think we are about to kick it into high gear after tonights episode and watching the preview for next week.
Last night's episode(7-8PM)was the best episode so far this season.
Hey Doc...when you get to see the 2AM-3AM episode lemme know...I don't wanna spoil it for you.It was an incredibly intense episode....what 24 is known for and been lacking up to now this season.
Well....that fucking sucked

Just watched it - I see what you mean! Milo was very noble I thought. And I'd forgotten Josh and Marilyn were still there until Cheng's men came for him. Jack's father is pure evil. I don't know what he wants Josh for. He seemed prepared to kill him a while ago. Great stuff!!!
QuoteWell....that fucking sucked
Agreed. Still a good show. But this season was less than stellar.

Yeah...the 2 hour season finale was real good up until the end as mentioned above,it was very lackluster...I think they did same thing in season 3 didn't they? Anyway,I won't spoil it for you.....lemme know when you see the finale.

Oh that's what mj meant by 'that fucking sucked'.
I'm still a loyal fan. Jack's not so sure of himself these days. I guess that's character development, but I felt the world was a safer place when Jack Bauer was at his most Jack Bauerish, unless you're a bad guy, or a hostage, or a colleague, or somebody roped in to help Jack ;)
The two hour finale is on on Sunday so I haven't long to wait :)
I watched it last night. I quite liked the ending - it was different. I think it's good the way they're showing the way Jack's lived his life has affected him. It would have been easy to continue portraying him as the old Jack, confident that he's doing the right thing.
Best bits:
Josh shooting his grandfather (who I recently saw as the Duke of Edinburgh in 'The Queen' - weird)
Jack shooting all the 'hostiles' on the helipad and saying to Bill "You're cleared for landing"
The Vice President letting Bill and Karen off with treason
Next season coming here in 2008. I'll be there :)
