"Official" 24 Season 9 Live Another Day thread
The announcement:
http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...ork-announces/ I'll keep the OP updated with news. And let the countdown clock to May 4 at 8 p.m. officially begin! Season 8 thread: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=219520 "Official" Season 7 thread http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showt...ght=jack+bauer Redemption thread http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=196937 The 2,300 reply "24" thread http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=133876 Official season 6 thread http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showt...ght=jack+bauer Season 6 prequel thread http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showt...ght=jack+bauer 24 to get female president thread http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showt...ght=jack+bauer PASADENA, Calif. — Jack is back, in London, as 24 returns May 5 with a new season that's half the length of previous ones but still takes place over a single day. Fox's 24: Live Another Day is reassembling Kiefer Sutherland's rogue agent, his trusty sidekick Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub), his onetime love Audrey Heller (Kim Raver) and her dad (William Devane), who's now president. The ninth season of the show is set four years after the eighth, with Jack still in exile, and this time, he and Chloe are "pitted against each other," Sutherland says. Jack remains on the run, "not quite Osama bin Laden but a fugitive of high order," says producer Manny Coto. "When he resurfaces, we will learn he has a mission, whether it's good or bad we don't know, but they're hunting him." He reconnects with Chloe, who has "turned against the government; (she's) more a radical Snowden-type character," he says. With another hot-button issue — drone strikes — factored in, events will "launch the series into what will be a large tableaux set in London for some crazy events." Executive producer Howard Gordon says the setting in London, where the show will begin filming later this month, was critical in highlighting the exiled state of its hero. "We found a place emotionally to locate Jack, physically to locate jack, and Chloe — who is not his trusty sidekick — someone who is damaged, has joined the free-information movement." Rajskub says she "never thought 24 would come back and I never thought it would come back in this format. I just gotten away from (people) yelling out 'Chloe!' and I'm ready for it to start back up again." Writing 24-episode seasons was "a marathon, it was really, really punishing," Gordon says. The new 12-episode plan is liberating. But the format remains the same: Though the season will still take place in real time over the course of a single day, but fewer episodes will allow writers to sometimes jump forward a couple of hours between them. Producers say, only half-jokingly, that they sometimes need Wikipedia to remember what they've written. When they thought of reviving Devane's character and making him president, "we all thought he was dead," Coto says. (That would be Gregory Itzin's President Logan.) Whither the long-discussed 24 movie? Though a script has been written, it never received a greenlight. "If this ends up rebooting the show or causing a film to be made, so be it," Sutherland says. But "right now we're focused on these episodes." Yvonne Strahovski (from Dexter) is the CIA agent tracking down Jack Last edited by BigRedChief; 02-03-2014 at 07:25 PM.. |

I don't like this plot twist at all. I agree 24 has always stretched the boundaries of reality. But a President would never do this. They are all about legacy's especially retiring ones. He really thinks they will stop? People are going to see his last act as not a brave sacrifice but as a gullible man who has lost his mind. And gave int to terrorists.

I thought this was a great episode. Jack throwing her out the window was fantastic. Classic Jack Bauer move.

Yep. Great episode. I thought it was suspicious last week that Heller didn't get a silent clock. If frickin Edgar got a silent clock, Heller would have to. But I didn't know how they could pull off him still being alive. Nice job 24.

The last 2 episodes I've thoroughly enjoyed. They definitely pulled one over on me with the President.

Yep, the last two episodes have been as good as any ones in the past. The take down of the building and the terrorists was as well done as any high $ movie budget.

Looks like I'm the dissenting voice here. I didn't like that thing with the president at all. Just stretched credulity too far (which is saying something with 24). Rest of the ep was fine though.

My only comment through the first half hour is that some ****er at Fox 4 needs to be fired for that goddamn weather audio stinger that keeps cutting into the dialogue every thirty ****ing seconds.

So anyone want to put odds on;
- Jack getting killed - Jack killing himself - Jack goes free - World War 3 starts and everyone dies

Not to say that Jack doesn't get ****ed up, captured by Russians/Chinese, gets his immunity taken away etc. Jack gets no happy endings.
