They showed Tony Almeida in the add for the new season towards the end of Redemption.  You missed that too?

Not only that...they played a pretty similar preview over in the UK last year before this season was supposed to start before it was pushed back due to the writers strike.  On the Redemption DVD, they had the first 20 minutes or so of the first episode.

Jack Bauer may die in final '24' (thanks Dale)

I personally don't care much for this season and they've pretty much taken the show as far as it can go IMO, so we'll see.

They're ignoring a third possibility... Jack gets arrested and put away for torture.  That seems more true to the series without ending in Jack's death.

It's been a slow start.  It's a shame they didn't spend any time getting you invested in the passengers of the crashed planes last night like they did with the test planes in the premier... would have made a better impact.

And if terrorists took partial control of the flight control system, I'm pretty sure they'd send out a warning to pilots that something was wrong, and to look out for stray aircraft.  That whole plot seemed pretty cheap.  I'm certain there's codes for security breaches.

I think a similar article said that he has one more season left on his contract and he didn't know if he wanted to do more.  Also, the movie angle was dangled in front of him, so he probably won't get killed.

Or he could pull a Tony Almeada...again.

Well, Jack Bauer had some great lines tonight.

in response to the President asking where Jack's loyalties lie...
Quote from: Jack Bauer
With all due respect Madame President, ask around.

and in response to why following rules is what makes the FBI better than the terrorists

Quote from: Jack Bauer
Not Today.

Both of those lines made me laugh out loud.  Sure the show is ridiculous but I still love it.

Great episode.  I still don't like that there are Secret Service bad guys, but I still love the show.

This was a pretty good episode - and as mentioned, Jack had some pretty good lines.  Still not the same without CTU (and where the hell was Cloe)?  Still can't believe how "hardcore" the FBI chick is getting.

I have a feeling the head of the FBI or the geeky computer guy is one of the moles.

I liked this one as well and the ending was great. Jack's not pulling any punches even when speaking to POTUS. Agent Red is getting a bit badass, especially after the mom/baby scene.

Can we get Janeane Garofalo off the show though? She is really bad.

It's like she's trying to play Chloe without the personality or good looks...
