24

[Mikey D]

Even though Day 6 wasn't all that great, it's good to have Jack Bauer back and kicking ass.  I enjoyed 2 24: Redemption.  Sets up season 7 nicely and it got away from the terrorists-nuclear-LA-CTU having a mole-presidential drama from last season.  I'm sure we'll have some of that stuff this season, but at least Jack is out of LA and CTU and dealing with something new.  I'm not sure how they're going to explain Tony being alive, but I hope to all hell it isn't something lame like clones or an evil twin brother.

Looking forward to January.  Even at it's worst, 24 is still better than most of the **** on TV nowadays.

Agreed.  It has been far too long.  Not the greatest episode(s) but it sets up for day 7 pretty good.  Glad they let the kids through the gate.  They really went to town on commercials for the second hour which is typical of 24 as are the cliff hangers.  Good watch though.

It was good to see Jack Bauer on the small screen again.  Can't have a day in the life of Bauer without a torture scene that makes you go, eeeeeeeeew.

The composer's been watching Torchwood.

New Season starts tonight!  Who else is excited?

I am in a way - but not 2 hours each for Sunday & Monday night in a way.  Seems like a bit overkill IMO to start a season even though we got burned last year.  I've got my trusty Video Cassette Recorder ready for action though!

I vowed to stay away after the lackluster Day 6 and the killing of Dr. Bashir, but I got sucked back in to see why Almeda was still alive and what he was doing being a baddie. I thought it was explained well (if he truly is a baddie).

I caught it tonight as well. And so far I like were it's going. Kind of a Die Hard 2 rip off with the whole plane deal but it was handled well. I love how Jack told off the senate committee and how he'll still smarter than all the FBI being able to find sources and the sniper in about 20 min. They sure didn't waste time introducing the mole plot device again.

You can't have 24 without a mole.  Come on.   

I liked tonight's episode well enough.  I even liked the previous season so I ws really happy to have 24 back on the air.  The two night, 4 hours of show has as much to do with the Jan-May run than anything else.  It's the side effect of getting all 24 hours in a row without repeats or huge winter breaks.  I'll take it.

The alternative is what Lost is dong with, what, 16 episode seasons vs 22 (or 24 in the case of, well, 24)?  I'd rather have the full load than a Jan-May uninterrupted AND shortened season.

   E...

I thought it was funny in the promo for Monday that they were saying "Don't miss the first big surprise of the season"... I kinda think Tony being back from the dead counts as a big surprise.   

[Matt_Fury]

How could it be a surprise when we knew it from the previews?

I like how the domestic terror plot is tied in with the Africa Genocide.  Hopefully they'll tell us how the Colonel survived the mine detonation from Redemption.  Although he was probably the furthest away when it blew.

[BillCable]

I didn't watch the previews.   

[Matt_Fury]

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

[BillCable]

I DVR everything, and skip the commercials.

[Matt_Fury]

Fair enough....don't think that's what they meant by a big surprise though...I'll get to see in about an hour.
