Recently, I heard Rush Limbaugh, an avid 24 fan, put in a plug for the upcoming season. Did you know Rush has been on the 24 set in previous seasons? He's also friends with Vince Flynn, author of a book series similar to 24. The 24 writers have consulted Flynn on show content.
A little spoiler about Season 8: CTU is baaccck! Yeah.

CTU is back and it's better than ever. Chloe is working there.
From the promo that was aired during the World Series this week, we know Jack has decided to move back to LA to be with Kim and his *ahem* granddaughter. He's retired from the government, but then receives a tip that a UN ambassador is about to be shot. Then all hell breaks loose. It's tick... tick... tick... tick... again. :lol:

Flynn was a guest on The Glenn Beck Show recently. Very interesting episode as Flynn described his newest book...of which the name slips my mind at the moment. ???

Obviously Jack didn't get a golden ticket, he's not going to Hollywood. (I thought LA was blown up with the nuke like 2 seasons ago...)
HMMMM.... A lot of plots introduced in the opening. Wife mad at husband, daughter is sympathetic to her father. CTU computer expert has changed her name and left home with an ex-boyfriend in prison. Now he's out and calling 24/7. Brother part of a plot to assassinate his brother? Madame President is a divorcee. (Hopefully her daughter Olivia is in the pokey and unable to receive visits.)
Jack didn't know that going a few blocks to the precinct was the wrong way to get him there? We know that the bad guys can find a needle in a haystack faster than the drone above NY can zero in on a banana skin! You've been out of touch too long Jack!
Tall, blond, Chloe-wannabe, being an undercover girlfriend of a CTU guy is never a good career move. Also a word of advice. Never ever, EVER go to the computer room to check on anything. Even if you are the only person at CTU left, even if you are the only one who knows what server goes to the WH, whatever, do not go there. It will not end up well. Trust me.
Reporter girl. She's up to something, we just know she's up to something! I doubt Hastings will find out what it is though. He's an example of the Peter Principle if ever I saw one.
Was it odd or what that the bad cop talked like a New Yorker on steroids with the cop's wife then forgets or something and starts talking with a weird accent when the good cop wouldn't give him his day off? (Day off tomorrow no less when the hit is supposed to happen in the next hour. He gets so peeved, he shoots the wife in the thigh. I thought only Jack did that kind of thing!
Did Jack get too many Kim stem cells, after all the times that Chole risked everything for Jack, he won't help her? It took a minute or two with Kim's help for him to decide to stick it out in NY even though he knows it will go downhill for the next 22 hours.
Is Hassan's brother a step brother? They don't have any similarities whatsoever and obviously blood isn't thicker than water with that little brother. (Literally little.)
Did any one catch this? Ethan is now Secretary of State?
Good thing Jack is a good listener, otherwise he'd have been without weapons and his man bag and no way to contact Chloe.
Can't wait to see what happens tonight!
Where is TarAsia's score card? :(

Title: Re: 24 Season 8
Post by: TexasLady on January 26, 2010, 01:46:02 PM
I'm enjoying Renee! She deserves an award for her performance! :tup:
The Dana subplot, CTU specialist, blah, boring and stupid! It's so bad I actually was hoping that the ex-con/ex-boyfriend Kevin would just go ahead and do away with her. It's too stupid and a diversion. IF I pondered it, I'd wonder why she couldn't manufacture some charge and send the police to arrest him until she can think of something better. OR.. shoot him and his buddy on the couch for trespassing, breaking and entering. How did she get a top secret clearance?? However that's too much thinking about the stupid sub-plot. Chloe is on to her! I'm repeating.. Dana.. going into the computer room is not a good idea... don't say I didn't warn you. (However I'm reconsidering this advice...)
I felt bad for Ziya, he already had his thumb cut off, now he's fish bait.
President Hassan, don't listen to Madame President. You need to keep rounding up the bad guys in your country. (Could your brother pick up radiation poison by checking the room with the dying guy? Just asking...)
Good grade Ken.

Title: Re: 24 Season 8
Post by: TexasLady on February 02, 2010, 02:36:40 PM
First of all, my hubby and I have decided we either have to get hearing aids or use captions because Jack's incessant whispering is driving us nutty. "What? What did he say?"
The doctor was toast when he opened the door, and I have to say that is one dysfunctional family, 2 hours of the doctor treating the dying son only to be paid in lead. Back they go home and Pop is peeved and it looks like Josef is going to end up like the doctor but instead Pop pops the dying son and gives Josef a big kiss on the cheek. Pop says 'Don't ever disobey me again.' and Josef won't because his pop had been eating some Russian Borscht with a lot of garlic and he never wants that punishment ever again!
Dana is a twit. Kevin isn't going to be happy with a piddly amount of money! Of course he will want more. (How did she get that top secret clearance again?) I'm so tired of Dana that I wish she WOULD visit the server room.
Renee... you need a shower while waiting for Jack/Muir who will be there in 20 minutes? She's too young to remember the movie "Pyscho" that's for sure. I am sure that Vlad is going to be sorry for messing with Renee, she's not in the best mental place and I don't think she'll settle for cutting off a thumb.
Did I mention that Dana is a twit? Chloe has her stink eye on Dana. Be warned Dana... Chloe is not the least bit jealous, but suspicious? Yes!
Jack/Muir was a little lax in watching his back, front and sides as he transferred the money but luckily for him Ortiz has skills as a sniper. Who knew Jack could speak German?
Here's a head scratcher. Is Hassan's bodyguard a bad guy and Jamad a good guy or is Jamad a bad guy and one of the security people gave him a signal by scratching his nose that they will hijack the limo so he can join Hassan's brother. The bodyguard calls Kayla Hassan so maybe he is the bad guy. Whatever, she's confused now because he has to take Jamad to the Embassy before he can tell her whatever it is he has to tell her. ???
Only 6 more days for another hour of 24!! (And Jack says Renee has him!!) :yess:
Title: Re: 24 Season 8
Post by: TexasLady on February 09, 2010, 10:34:38 AM
10 to 11 PM Day 8
Bad move Madam Lady President Lady, you shouldn't blab inform another diplomat about the nuclear rods but not to worry, you have everything under control. (Uh huh!)
Dana/aka/Twit, what can go wrong? It will only take a few minutes to guide Kevin and his redneck buddy to the money. Being the smart guys they are, they will just grab the envelope and leave so no need to keep track of them via that handy hidden camera. NO it's NOT right Kevin, it's LEFT. Too confusing, code, hallway, locker, code.. too many numbers. 4660, who could remember that?
Chloe maybe just maybe you should kind of pay attention to what Arlo is trying to tell you even if he is a sexist pig or something. (However Dana/Twit, your multitasking is going to come back to haunt you because as mentioned before Chloe has her stink eye on you...)
So many subplots, how to keep up. Pop feels bad about shooting sonny boy but he couldn't bear for him to suffer. Not to mention, he did it for his family and he hopes his oldest son remembers what he did so they could all be wealthy even his grandchildren. (If Pop doesn't pop off son #1 for being ungrateful.) He wants his dead son buried but no time to call the undertaker, just bury him in the back yard but be sure to do it right and pray over him so he has a good sendoff.
Vlad gives Jack something to drink while he calls his friends to ask about the nuclear rods. But it's 10:22 PM and some go to bed really early and don't like being called so late. Renee just keeps nagging, keep calling, call them again, who cares if they were sleeping, they're up now since you work em up! Vlad says NO one sells this kind of thing but Renee wants the money. Five million is nothing when it could be Fifty million. (Besides, we have more time left on the clock.)
Dana/Twit/Houston, we have a problem. We got a little greedy, threw all kinds of stuff on the floor. (No one will notice that!) We heard someone in the hallway. Now what? Dana the genius says hide and then go past him and get out. OOPS, Kevin's buddy bashes the cop's head in. No one will notice that either... (I don't recall seeing gloves on hands... didn't being in prison teach you anything?)
I don't even want to get into the machinations of Hussan and the daughter, Kayla. Now I think her BF is a good guy but the smirking flunky who arrests him is a bad guy pretending to be a good guy. (Smirking is never a good sign especially on 24.)
OH NO!! Renee pushed Vlad too hard and he knocks her down! So being like Jack she uses her knife on him about 500 times and OMG! Not Jack! Yes she did, she turned around and got Jack in the abdomen. (Wasn't it bad enough we had to worry about him surviving the poison gas last hour and now he has to run around saving the world with a bandage on his stomach?) Being Jack it's just a minor wound, a mere mortal would die but not Jack.
How does Hastings, who hasn't had a cue about anything the past 5 hours or so, know Renee had sex with Vlad?
You have to hand it to all the 24 bad guys. They know their enemy's location without even having to Goggle Map it. Not to mention there isn't a tunnel that they can't use to get around town, or under the White House for that matter. This time they don't have to kill Vlad and his gang, Renee and Jack did it for them.
Next time on 24, Jack is hung up and wired. (Sigh, don't they ever learn that Jack's lethal when strung up, but then again dead men tell no tales do they...)

"24" Halts Production By Nellie Andreeva February 15, 2010
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The Fox drama series '24' has shut down production so that star Kiefer Sutherland can undergo surgery for a ruptured cyst.
The rupture happened earlier last week, but production continued through Friday with scenes that did not involve Sutherland, who also serves as an executive producer on the real-time drama.
Filming then was suspended until late this week, when Sutherland is expected to return to work.
"While Kiefer Sutherland is frustrated to miss even one day of work, he and Fox decided together that it would be best to complete this minor elective procedure now," the actor's publicist said in a statement, which did not provide further information about Sutherland's condition.
Added producing studio 20th TV, "We hope to resume production shortly and do not anticipate any disruption in the broadcast of this season's episodes."

Title: Re: 24 Season 8
Post by: TexasLady on March 08, 2010, 07:58:04 PM
I got a bad flu bug and got behind so I'll try to catch up.
11PM to 1AM: Bazhaev/Pop didn't like Jack's impression of a German bad guy so ordered him slung up by his wrists and tortured till he gave a straight story. The Russian goon who obviously never heard of Jack Bauer used jumper cables to cauterize Jack's stab wound. Once Jack confirmed that he would be OK he did what he always does and snapped the Russian's neck between his legs and managed to get down. He then shot 5 or 6 more Russians and went to talk to Bazhaev/Pop.
Evidently Pop runs a failing restaurant and was preparing Borscht in case someone wandered in looking for food. He and Jack redecorated the dining room and Pop shot up a bunch of the placesetting and wine glasses until Jack got tired of the whole thing and whacked Pop with a table. Pop negotiated "The Deal" with the WH for immunity and called his surviving son Josef only to find out that Son #1 had stolen the rods for some unknown reason and was trying to sell them to Farhad. Just as he managed to convince sonny boy to return someone spotted him with a red laser beam and shot him dead. (It must be tough to become fatherless in less than 2 hours.)
Meanwhile back at CTU Hastings gets a phone call from the W.H. Chief of Staff who informs Hastings that someone is going down and it ain't gonna be HIM and it better not be Hastings so all they have left is Renee and the C.O.S is sending a lawyer from the Justice Dept to take Renne's statement. The lawyer turns out to be Omarosa who was last seen on The Apprentice. Chloe is highly suspicious of Omarosa and Hastings and as soon as she can she tells Jack what is happening.
Dana/Twit is in the woods waiting to talk turkey to Kevin and his hillbilly friend. Just in case someone tries to bother her she puts a silencer on her gun.
Jack doesn't take kindly to blaming Renee so he interrupts the discussion and tells lady lawyer Omarosa that they are leaving. Unfortunately since Jack has not been in action for awhile, he threatens the first CTU guard by telling him he doesn't know who he is messing with but doesn't notice that there is a second guard behind the door who tasers Jack.
Meanwhile, Josef dropped his cell phone and Chloe hears Farhad and his flunkies talking about where to take the rods. One of the flunkies notices the phone and since it wasn't a Sprint phone, he smashes it with his foot.
Farhad finds that his buds aren't his buds after all and he finds himself surrounded and agrees that they will use the Rods on a dirty bomb in NY. He tells the turncoat that he knows someone who can help them with the bomb and asks to use the phone. Once he gets about 20 feet away he hits the henchman with a wrench but he wasn't far enough away and the rest of the new foreign enemies start hunting him. Farhad makes a call to CTU and asks for protection and make it fast!
Hastings had wanted Jack to find Josef but now will make a deal with Jack will go get Farhad, Renee goes free if Jack is in to the end. Jack says DEAL! However it all works out because Cole is off looking for Dana, the new kid, Owen, is tasked to go get Farhad, do it now. Lucky for him, Jack will go with him.
Back to Dana, she watches as 2 ladies leave Kevin and Nick the Hillybilly's van, gets out to go make a deal with them and just as she is about to confront them a van drives up driven by Cole. Naturally, neither Kevin or Nick notice the headlights or screeching tires. She tells Cole about being Jenny and he decides to confront Kevin and Nick. Kevin makes a deal to leave with the money and go back to the hills but Nick has other ideas. Cole had taken Kevin's gun but Nick had a knife and became peeved that Kevin didn't want to kill Cole and go back to the other plan to make Dana/Twit find other places to rob. He stabs Kevin and goes after Cole and it looked dicey for awhile until Kevin yells Jenny with his dying breath. Nick should have gone back home because now he's going to go to his final resting place. (The swamp that just happens to be beside the van, but we don't find that out till the next week.)
Title: Re: 24 Season 8
Post by: TexasLady on March 09, 2010, 02:32:24 PM
Re: 24 Season 8 Suffice it to say, I'm so far behind I may never catch up.
1AM to 3AM Kayla has run off with Tarin who escaped from Hassan's guards. We think he's a good guy. Dana and Cole wrap up Kevin and Nick's bodies like mummies and push them into the water. (This subplot will never end, I just know it!)
When Jack finds Farhad he's pretty much dead but Jack screams at the EMT to keep him alive! Doesn't work. So they do the next best thing, they load him up in an ambulance to fool the killers and put him in a hospital bed with all kinds of tubes and an EKG monitor to lure the killers out in the open. Enter Marcos. He has a suicide vest on and with the help of Owen, makes his way to the 3rd floor so he can kill Farhad again. Chloe in the nick of time disables the vest.
Somewhere during the hour Jack tells Renee, “You have me!" He wants them to be together.
Marcos jumps out a window to escape Jack but survives and runs back into the hospital and locks himself in some sort of chamber and with the help of a cohort who has his best interests at heart works to redo the disabled vest so he can blow himself up. (No mention of virgins though.)
Dana and Cole arrive back at CTU and Hastings is waiting for them at the elevator. He tells them both they are on probation and Dana is demoted and Chloe is now her boss. Dana accepts the demotion, gets her TV remote control and hands it to Chloe. Arlo apologizes to Dana and wants to know where Kevin is. She says he's gone. (HEH)
Marcos gets the vest detonator fixed but Jack brings his mom to the window and she begs him not to harm himself. He tells her a bunch of anti-American gibberish but Jack sends her away and with his really mean face tells Marcos that if there is a dirty bomb that Jack will personally take Marcos' mother there and contaminate her and she will die a horrible, painful death, so he puts the detonator device down and opens the door.
24 Terrorists always have the best technology and can do things in 5 seconds that take CTU 40 minutes. The terrorist who strapped Marcos with the vest knows that Marcos has had a change of heart so he sets off a remote control. With his dying breath Marcos says Tarin is the leader!!!!! Poor Marcos. Fini.
We see Kayla and Tarin in the hotel room, because she was busy doing other things she didn't answer her phone. Too bad because her mother has come back to New York and thanks to Jack, she and Hassan know about Tarin and the dirty bomb plot. When Kayla finally answers, she learns the worst and tells her mother where she is. Is it too late? Watch next week's episode

Yay!! Ken is back! I agree with you about Dana.
The only good thing Dana/whatshername did is scoop Kayla up and move her out of the range of the explosion.
The Dana story is a mess, did the writers need filler material? WHO with a super-duper, top secret clearance would let that scuzzy man into CTU and why would he be allowed by security to roam around and into the inner bowels of CTU? HOW could that happen without being shot or at least tasered? :groan:
I'm betting on Chloe to establish communications so she can talk to Jack, somehow! What IS her hubby's name, Morris? We haven't seen him this year, maybe he'll be back to help with communications. (Shouldn't there be a backup option?)

I always knew she was bad but thought she was just a bad actress. :groan: CTU certainly needs better background investigators!
I knew it! Chloe came through again!

Dana's working with the terrorists! Wasn't expecting that. :ascared
But at least now I don't have to think of her as an essentially good person in a bad situation. Now she's just bad. :lol:

3.26 2010 Official 24 cancellation press release from FOX
“24: DAY EIGHT” WILL BE THE AWARD-WINNING SERIES’ FINAL SEASON
Two-Hour Series Finale Airs Monday, May 24, on FOX
In a joint decision made by 24’s star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland, executive producer and showrunner Howard Gordon, Twentieth Century Fox Television, Imagine Entertainment and Fox Broadcasting Company, it was determined that the acclaimed series will end its remarkable eight-season run. Jack Bauer’s last day on FOX will conclude when the final two hours of “Day Eight” air Monday, May 24 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). As the countdown to the series’ climactic conclusion races on, the final 11 hours will air uninterrupted Mondays (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
Multiple award-winning series star Kiefer Sutherland reflected on the show’s run: “This has been the role of a lifetime, and I will never be able to fully express my appreciation to everyone who made it possible. While the end of the series is bittersweet, we always wanted 24 to finish on a high note, so the decision to make the eighth season our last was one we all agreed upon. This feels like the culmination of all our efforts from the writers to the actors to our fantastic crew and everyone at Fox. Looking ahead to the future, Howard Gordon and I are excited about the opportunity to create the feature film version of 24. But when all is said and done, it is the loyal worldwide fan base that made it possible for me to have the experience of playing the role of Jack Bauer, and for that I am eternally grateful.”
Executive producer and showrunner Howard Gordon said, “Kiefer and I have loved every minute of making 24, but we all believe that now is the right time to call it a day. I echo his sentiments of gratitude toward the show’s amazing creative team, as well as the studio and network who have always believed in us and shown us unbelievable support.”
“24 is so much more than just a TV show – it has redefined the drama genre and created one of the most admired action icons in television history,” said Peter Rice, Chairman, Entertainment, Fox Networks Group. Kevin Reilly, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company added, “We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series and will be forever thankful to Kiefer, the producers, the cast and crew for everything they’ve put into 24 over the years. It’s truly been an amazing and unforgettable eight days.”
“We are so grateful to Kiefer and Howard who have really poured their hearts and souls into making this show over the past eight seasons,” commented Gary Newman and Dana Walden, Chairmen, Twentieth Century Fox Television. “To everyone who contributed to this iconic series over its amazing run, we want to extend our heartfelt appreciation for your incredible work.”
Added Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer, “I’m so proud to have been a part of 24, which has become such a cultural phenomenon. And to Kiefer and Howard and everyone who has worked on the show, many thanks.”
Now in its eighth season with Kiefer Sutherland starring as the heroic Jack Bauer, the inventive and suspenseful 24 has been nominated for a total of 68 Emmy Awards, winning for Outstanding Drama Series in 2006. Over the course of seven seasons, Sutherland garnered seven Emmy nominations and one win for Outstanding Lead Actor – Drama Series. While the series gained global recognition, Sutherland’s portrayal of the legendary character penetrated the American psyche like no other dramatic television character to become part of the English lexicon.
Premiering November 6, 2001, 24 employed a pioneering split-screen, fast-paced format with complex interweaving storylines as viewers followed anti-terrorism agent Jack Bauer through 24 pulse-pounding episodes, each covering one hour and presented in real time. Subsequent seasons combined the show’s unique and trend-setting format while delivering compelling new elements and attracting talented actors and guest stars, including the Emmy Award-winning Cherry Jones (President Allison Taylor). The series also currently stars Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe O’Brian), Anil Kapoor (Omar Hassan), Annie Wersching (Renee Walker), Katee Sackhoff (Dana Walsh), Mykelti Williamson (Brian Hastings), Freddie Prinze Jr. (Cole Ortiz), Chris Diamantopoulos (Rob Weiss) and John Boyd (Arlo Glass).
The first six seasons were set in Los Angeles, and following the strike-induced delay of Season Seven, “24: Redemption,” a two-hour film bridging Seasons Six and Seven, was set in Africa. Washington, D.C. was the setting for Season Seven, and the final season of 24 finds Jack Bauer thwarting a terrorist attack in New York.
At the conclusion of Season Eight, 24 will have a produced a total of 194 episodes (including “24: Redemption”), making it one of the longest-running action television shows in history.
Tune in Monday, March 29 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) for the next all-new installment of 24 and Monday, April 5 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) for a special two-hour episode.
Created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, 24 is a production of 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television in association with Teakwood Lane Productions. Howard Gordon, Evan Katz, David Fury, Manny Coto, Brannon Braga, Brad Turner, Alex Gansa, Kiefer Sutherland and Brian Grazer are executive producers, while Chip Johannessen and Patrick Harbinson serve as co-executive producers. Brad Turner will direct the series finale.

March 26, 2010 Official: '24' ends on Fox
Tick, tick, tick … and done.
After eight seasons, Fox’s “24” is coming to an end.
The groundbreaking action drama will air its final real-time episode in May, the victim of a confluence of circumstances: a swelling budget, declining ratings and creative fatigue.
Yet for fans of Jack Bauer, there remains hope. Studio 20th TV is developing a theatrical film that takes Bauer to Europe, and showrunner and executive producer Howard Gordon says other possibilities are being explored as well.
“There are other possible iterations of Jack Bauer and his world,” Gordon said (full Q&A with Gordon about series ending here).
The writing has been on the wall for the show all season, which Gordon said felt like “senior year of high school” to star Kiefer Sutherland.
Because of the constant upward spiral of cast and creative team salaries, any drama begins to carry serious financial weight after its fifth year. Sources say Fox paid a hefty $5 million per episode license fee to 20th TV.
Meanwhile, the show’s ratings dropped 16% this season to a 3.8 adults 18-49 rating including DVR — still healthy numbers for a scripted drama, yet not enough to overcome the program’s increasing cost, a budget that was set to climb once again since contracts for Sutherland, Gordon and other key players expire this season.
Then there’s the show’s creative struggle. How many times have “24” characters declared that a looming crisis will be addressed “within the hour,” or has Bauer struggled to gain the respect of the latest CTU chief? Gordon says the show’s writers felt they had exhausted the real-time possibilities for Bauer and never came up with a truly compelling idea for Day 9.

March 26, 2010 '24' showrunner talks series finale, future plans
Howard Gordon, “24” executive producer and showrunner talks about the decision to cancel the series and what’s next for Jack Bauer. THR: What's next for "24"?
Gordon: There are other possible iterations of Jack Bauer and his world -- whether a movie or some other sort of scenario. We're developing the movie, Billy Ray (”State of Play,” “Shattered Glass”) is writing it. It depends on how well it comes out and Fox's appetite. Most importantly it's about ending the show right and doing it with the same level of intensity and commitment that we started with.
THR: When's the soonest that fans could realistically expect a feature film?
Gordon: Obviously the script's still being written. It could be as early as next year depending on how things come together. THR: Since the setting shifts to Europe for the movie, will CTU still play a role?
Gordon: Yes and no. Jack is really the center of it, catching up with him emotionally and locationally where he is. The opportunity is not to use the real-time aspect and also to do it on a scale the TV show never allowed.
THR: Is there anything TV-related that you're looking to do in the future with the “24” brand?
Gordon: There are conversations about that. If one of the writers came up with a good idea, I'd happily pitch to Kiefer and happily pitch the show to the network -- whether Fox or someone else. We just don't have that idea and that's where everything has to start.
THR: You never pitched an idea for next season?
Gordon: We couldn't come up with something that really satisfied us. We've done everything we feel we can do with that character in this format.
THR: How did ending the show come about?
Gordon: It helped that this was the end of a lot of peoples' contracts. There was a deal finiteness in place. Also, every year is a high-wire act. We all look at each other and ask, 'Can we really do this again?' and it's not with complete conviction that we say, 'Yes.' As an act of faith and effort, we get through it. This year Kiefer said it felt like the senior year of high school.
THR: How do you want “24” the series to be remembered?
Gordon: I'd like it to be remembered as a revolutionary concept. The second thing is that we loved this show so much and never did anything less than our best. I hope we delivered to our fans like we feel we did to ourselves. We loved this show from the very first hour to the last hour, so I hope people think of it being consistently at that quality and that it never dipped too terribly -- except for season six.
THR: Can you tease to the rest of the season?
Gordon: We've taken a risk in the last eight episodes. It was challenging to the writers to the actors. We're taking a risk, the show has to do that. Without spoiling what's to come, it's pretty dark and complex and a place that was uncomfortable for us to write and for some of the actors to act. We really swung for the fences. Because the show is as old as it is, this season hasn't really been given its due. But our audience is hanging in there with us and I think it's been a very successful season.
THR: How has this decision creatively impacted the ending?
Gordon: There have been a couple other season-enders that would have been spectacular series enders. Season four, season five and last year. I was more aware this time of ending something that really felt surprising, but not cheap; emotionally consistent. Some will throw their shoes at the screen, inevitably some will be angry, some will say they hated it the last three years. You can't please everybody you can only do the best you can do. I'm hoping people lean forward. I'm hoping the first feeling people have is, "Damn I miss it, I want more."
Well, that's disappointing. Looks like my first season will be my last. :(
They are talking about a movie. All is not lost. AND you can get the other seasons on DVD. (or rent them.) Don't stop watching this season, it's going to get really interesting AND stressful!

My first reply was blown up by a terrorist! (Or something..)
Talk about adrenalin rush! The tension definitely ramped up. Arlo was one lucky fellow considering what happened to the old guy, Prady, who has been filed away in the dead letter department.
Who foresaw what would happen to President Hassan. :ascared I really didn't expect it or want it to happen. How is it that terrorists can always be somewhere faster than CTU or be able to make plans on the fly like Dana calling Tarin and they find a way to have a car ready to stuff President Hassan into in such a short amount of time! CTU can never do anything that well.
Was it just me or a fluke in editing? ??? First Jack steals a beautiful black car and drives off but the next thing we see, he's looking at the back of the truck and the dirty bomb. THEN he drives off in the car to chase after Tarin and Hassan.
President Logan is coming back. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

More news about Logan's return.
Gregory Itzin back on '24' as disgraced president By FRAZIER MOORE, AP Television Writer Thursday, April 8, 2010
(04-08) 03:42 PDT New York (AP) --
During its breathless, ticktock eight-season run, "24" has given viewers numerous delights, apart from Jack Bauer's crazy knack for staying alive.
The audience for this rambunctious Fox thriller fondly recalls President David Palmer, a black man in the White House who may have helped normalize that concept for white voters in 2008. Meanwhile, everyone adores computer whiz Chloe O'Brian, an indispensable if cranky colleague of Bauer's in the Counter Terrorist Unit.
But no one on "24" can overshadow Charles Logan, the former chief executive who commanded the fifth season as scoundrel, boob and treasonous schemer. Deliciously played by Gregory Itzin, President Logan stayed busy at his waffling, cover-ups, secret deals with terrorists, even an implicit role in Palmer's assassination — all of it done (as Logan never tired of saying) "in the best interests of the country."
Ultimately thwarted by Bauer (series star Kiefer Sutherland), Logan resigned and was placed under house arrest.
But in TV drama as in the real world, disgraced politicians don't necessarily vanish. They hatch a way to rehabilitate themselves (or their image, at least), then re-enter the arena.
So hail to President Logan in the person of Itzin, who returns for Monday's episode, then continues through the remainder of this season, Day 8, which was recently pronounced the last. Midway through a season beset by series fatigue and ratings erosion, he could be the spark to send off "24" in a fitting blaze of glory. ("24" airs at 9 p.m. EDT.)

It's so refreshing to see that Dana has finally been caught in her charade! But we unexpectedly and sadly lose Hassan. That was very sad, but in recent episodes I could sort of feel that his time was up. It didn't really feel like he was "going anywhere", if you know what I mean.

I'm sooo upset about Renee. :'( :'( :'( I know I know...it's just a show...but surely they could've spared Renee. Maybe it upsets me so much, b/c it is too much like real life? Dunno...but it sucks that such a great gal and actress had to be the victim of the horrid terrorists. (:;) (:;) :groan:

Well, yes, like Tony, she could be useful as a shooter but only if she's in front of Jack and Cole at all times and only a few bullets in her gun.
BTW, My hubby has a theory which he is sticking with, he thinks Renee isn't dead, that they just pretended that she died. I like his theory and hope he is right, but haven't much faith in this happening.

Dana, we didn't know what to make of you but you went out with a bang. (Or two bangs to be precise.) Didn't see that coming.
Questions for the final four hours.
Did Jack think Dana killed Cole and is that one of the reasons he shot Dana?
Has Jack gone to the dark side and will he take out everyone who wronged Renee?
Will Madam President realize the bad mistake she's made by listening to former President Weasel or will she continue down that bad path because cover-up is the next thing to come if she does.
Will Chloe figure out what is happening and protect Jack as she has always done in the past? (I say yes!)
Will anyone ever find the dead body stuffed in CTU's conference wall by Dana? Sniff sniff...

Dana, we didn't know what to make of you but you went out with a bang. (Or two bangs to be precise.) Didn't see that coming. Me neither, and must admit it was a satisfying ending to that episode. I felt no remorse for Dana.
Questions for the final four hours.
Did Jack think Dana killed Cole and is that one of the reasons he shot Dana? I wondered that too. Was sure relieved to find out Cole was still alive!
Has Jack gone to the dark side and will he take out everyone who wronged Renee? It seems he's definitely out for revenge, but think it's a temporary reaction. I don't think he's going to take out everyone who wronged Renee. I think Jack's trying to save Madam President from all the damage Weasel Logan is causing & he'll save her & her office from disgrace somehow.
Will Madam President realize the bad mistake she's made by listening to former President Weasel or will she continue down that bad path because cover-up is the next thing to come if she does. At some point, she'll realize it all and she won't cover it up. She impresses me as honorable & respects her duty as President. If necessary, she will step down, imo.
Will Chloe figure out what is happening and protect Jack as she has always done in the past? (I say yes!) Yup. She will. My best friend thinks Jack & Chloe might get together, but there aren't enough hours left for that to culminate. Maybe the writers will give us a hint of it? Hard to tell! But isn't she married & has a kid? Or am I confusing it with Jack's daughter. hmmm...
Will anyone ever find the dead body stuffed in CTU's conference wall by Dana? Sniff sniff... THAT has bugged me! Why hasn't anyone smelled it yet? But wait! We must remember the timeline is in HOURs, not Days. By the time the Day ends, we should be smelling the dead body! yuk.

What's the body count now? I couldn't keep track. Weasel Logan melted like a piece of tissue in the rain. Madame President is in heap big trouble and Ethan MIGHT be able to help her climb out of the sewer she finds herself in but I doubt it.
I don't have a good feeling about the end of this but I suspect that while we think it will be bad for Jack, it will still leave everything up in the air because of the movie.
No matter the preview for next week, Jack will not assassinate anyone.

Chloe probably quit her day job to be w/ hubby Morris & child. The worst that happened which still upsets me if I think about it too long is Renee's horrible death. :'( TL, I so hoped your hubby was right that she wasn't really dead & Jack & Renee walked off into the sunset alive and well. :js:
Very relieved Jack n' Chloe are still alive...or so the story goes!!
Ahhh...whata great show which I'll sorely miss. :(

We will miss it as well Rudy! However Jack fans are hoping that a movie is in the works!
24: Is the Jack Bauer Movie a Sure Thing?
Published: May 24, 2010
24After tonight, Jack Bauer is finally going to get a day off — for a little while anyway. Though 24 is going off the air, there are plans to make a movie based on the TV show. It’s supposedly going to involve Jack battling some form of evil in Europe. But, where does it stand?
Executive producer Howard Gordon recently told Movieweb, “The current status of the movie is that Billy Ray has written a draft which Kiefer Sutherland has read, and we’re all working together on the second draft.”
He cautioned, “Now, it’s not been shared with Fox or anybody so there is no official status right now. It’s very much a work in progress. Honestly, the movie division is on the other side of the lot and I don’t know and can’t measure their intentions or their timing, and certainly can’t measure their reaction to the script because they haven’t read it yet. ”
Gordon concluded, “So I think it’s all very much speculative at this point. I think our preference would be to do it sooner than later, of course, and get Jack back out in front of people within a year or two, but I don’t know. That would be just me speaking.”

'24' return scoop: 13 episodes planned by James Hibberd

'24' return scoop: 13 episodes planned by James Hibberd
With Kiefer Sutherland and Fox plotting the return of Jack Bauer, we’re hearing some additional details about the plan.
You already figured this out, but now we can say with certainty: Touch isn’t coming back for a third season. The mystical drama was shifted to Friday nights this season where it struggled in the ratings. Even without a 24 revival, it was considered pretty much dead in the water.
For 24 miniseries/limited series, we’re hearing Fox is actually currently looking at a 13-episode order for the show. For a cable series, that’s actually a full season (heck, for HBO’s Game of Thrones, it’s more than a full season). So that would be a pretty significant potential order to bring back Bauer.
Fox had no comment. Hopefully there will be clarity at the network’s upfront presentation Monday.
Of course, a 13-episode order does raise the question: Will 24 continue in its real-time format, but just follow Bauer over the course of 13 hours? That would sort of botch the title, though, right? Or will Bauer face another 24-hour adventure, but the narrative will skip time? It would be great to see Bauer get on L.A.’s 405 freeway at the end of one episode and arrive at his destination two hours later at the start of the next episode — now that would be realistic action!

I've watched every season of 24 but I just wonder if it can come back and be as good. I guess we'll see! :)

'24' will 'Live Another Day' in 2014, FOX confirms By Rick Porter
May 13, 2013 11:10 AM ET
Jack Bauer is officially back: FOX has confirmed its plans to bring "24" back to its airwaves next year.
The show will return in the summer of 2014 as an event series called "24: Live Another Day." Kiefer Sutherland has signed on to play Jack Bauer again, with the story picking up several years after the last season, which aired in 2009. There's no word yet on any other casting.
"Live Another Day" will run for 12 weeks and keep its real-time format, but FOX Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly says it may skip hours here and there.
"As [executive producer Howard Gordon] would design the season, the spine of the 24 episodes was really about 12 hours. Those were where the big events occurred, and then there were little twists and connective tissue in between," Reilly told reporters on a conference call Monday (May 13). Each episode of "Live Another Day" will still unfold over the course of an hour, but viewers won't see as much of the in-between hours. "It may go 7 a.m., 8 a.m., 10 a.m.," Reilly says, depending on how the story comes together.
Reilly says the return of "24" grew out of the network announcing it was making a push into limited-run series, and Gordon and the "24" team's frustration at trying to design a feature film based on the show.
"As they got into the feature film, I think they all agreed that '24' compressed into two hours is not '24,'" Reilly says. "Talking about it over the last couple of years, they kind of got their juices flowing again, and when we announced this new [miniseries] franchise, a little light bulb went off for Howard. He said, 'Wait a minute. Why are we killing ourselves trying to crack a feature when this is the perfect format?'"
"Live Another Day" will probably be paired with another scripted series in the summer of 2014 -- Reilly mentioned the drama "Gang Related" as one that might hold until then. Another limited series, the thriller "Wayward Pines," is currently set to launch in the late summer next year and carry into fall.
