I called it on Tony.   ;D

I doubt I'll watch next year.  Not really interested in an all-new cast...

meh....This was the first season I've watched very loosely and I didn't really care much for the ending.  Been there done that with this show...getting stale.

Funny how 24 hours can change a person...I would have liked to see the interrogation while Janice was handcuffed to the wall.  I am guessing the last 15 minutes or so was set up so that they could have killed off Jack if there wasn't going to be an eighth season.

Jack's back.... but the show is off to a slow start. 

We had to wait most of the first hour to get Jack's first "Dammit!".

I had read that this season starts slow but builds to some great action in the second half of the day.

I thought it was okay. Jack with the fire ax was a nice touch and the new CTU is way high tech but again with the mole problem?  ::).



I'm not sold on Freddie Prince Jr yet or the side plot of the BSG chick and her stalker but we'll see where that goes.  :P

I've been kinda getting burnt out with 24 the last couple of seasons since everything just seems recycled, but I taped last nights show so I'll give this day a chance.  Four hours in two nights just seems a bit much IMO, but at least Jack's back.

Yep, a lot of "more of the same," but there was some decent action last night.  I've watched this from the beginning so I'm sure I'll watch it again this season.

And yes, Freddie Prinze doesn't have the acting chops for daytime soaps let alone a 24 episode action show.

I'm sold on the BSG chick, but it has nothing to do with the show's plot...  ;D

I feel like the journalist has been on 24 before... or somewhere familiar. Starbuck's side plot seems to have been done before too. And there's always the confident, never listens to reason (Chloe's) CTU director, too.

I guess I'll watch tonight's 2 episodes and see what happens.

I haven't watched 24 this season... figured enough was enough with the same thing happening over and over again.  But I came across this interesting analysis at http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=easterbrook/100126&sportCat=nfl

Quote
"In the first season, in 2001, Jack was a highly successful federal agent with a 15-year-old daughter. Although Jack's age was never stated, he had to be at least 40. He was a college graduate who had received his master's in criminology, then joined the U.S. Army, reaching the rank of captain in the prestigious Delta Squad. After the Army, he worked for Los Angeles SWAT team, then joined the CIA in its clandestine wing. After this, he was recruited to the CTU, the mysterious agency where Jack toils when the series begins. Jack had to be 40 when the series began.

"Let's assume 43. Here is where the time line gets tough. Season 2 was 18 months after season 1, making Jack 44-45. Season 3 was three years after season 2, making Jack about 47-48. Season 4 was 18 months after season 3, making Jack about 50. Season 5 was 18 months after season 4, making Jack about 52. Season 6 was 20 months after season 5, making Jack about 54. 24-Redemption, a two-hour movie that supposedly tied things together, was four years after season 6, making Jack about 58. Season 7, happening shortly after Redemption, still has Jack at around 58. Season 8, looks to be two-three years after season 8, because Jack's grand-daughter is seen having conversations with him, making Jack around 60 years [old]. He's quite spry for 60! Also, add up the years and it is now 2014 in the series. Maybe that explains all the CTU super-technology that does not seem to exist in our reality."

Wow! That's interesting. Maybe Harrison Ford should be playing Jack Bauer now. Not gruff enough though.
