Movies and TV Jack Bauer is back. "24" movie on Sunday night. - Page 2

**BigRedChief** · 11-18-2008, 08:21 AM

A 3 hour movie thats suppose to explain whats been happening with Jack since the end of the last season and set up the start of the new season in January.

24: REDEMPTION

Filmed on location in Cape Town, South Africa, and Los Angeles, 24: REDEMPTION stars Emmy Award winner Kiefer Sutherland along with new cast members Cherry Jones, Robert Carlyle, Gil Bellows and Academy Award winner Jon Voight.
After sacrificing everything for his country, Jack Bauer (Sutherland) is wanted by the U.S. government and now stands to lose the only thing he has left: his freedom. Working as a missionary in Africa, Bauer is called upon to stop a ruthless warlord from drafting innocent children into his murderous militia. First, Bauer must confront his own torturous past and face an impossible decision that will change his life forever. A decision that will set the stage and raise the stakes for Season Seven, which debuts in January 2009.

6 wasn't bad but after season 5 it seemed OK at best

Season 1 was the best.

Seasons 4 and 5 close behind.

Can someone recap season 5 again?

And I agree with the notion that season 1 was the best.

I liked season 3 with the Virus. At least i think that was season 3.

Season 5: Jack had fake his death at the end of season 4 to escape having to be captured by the Chinese for storming into the Chinese consulate. Only 4 other people knew about it -- President Palmer, Chloe, Michelle, and Tony. In the first episode of season 5, Palmer and Michelle are killed, with Tony badly injured. Chloe is a target, too, but she calls Jack and arranges to get rescued. The murder of Palmer is set up to frame Jack.

Palmer et al are killed because of Palmer's knowledge about the existence of a supply of Syntox Nerve Gas. A anti-Russian seperatist group gets ahold of the Syntox on this, the day of a arms/intelligence treaty between Russia and the U.S.

Jack is able to trace the Syntox back to a government-connected company run by Christopher Henderson, Jack's old boss at CTU (before the show). Henderson is not the main villian, though. Eventually, it is revealed that President Logan (!) had been responsible for much of the day's events. Logan was working with a mysterious man wearing a bluetooth earpiece (revealed in season 6 to be Jack's brother, Greahm).

Jack, in tandem with friends, is able to get Logan arrested. But the Chinese capture the now-out-of-hiding Jack and bring him to China to be held and tortured.

My shitty rundown does not convey how solid this season was.

Yeah, like I said 1-3 were the best. George got the virus and had to fly the plane.

2 was good but I thought 3 was bad. But not season 6 bad.

LOL, it's funny reading so many other people's experiences watching the DVD's...Me and the Missus were introduced to the series by some friends and told we just had to go out and rent season 1 on DVD to catch up...So one weekend we went down to Blockbuster and got the first two DVD's, watched them straight through (what is that, 6 episodes I think?), and were immediately on the phone to Blockbuster begging them to please hold the next two DVD's for us until we could get there...

Season 1 was some of the greatest TV ever made...

I look forward to the time when I sit down and watch all the seasons again. Don't want to do it too often though or they get old.

I love the guest stars on the show, there have been some good ones

mikey23545 · 11-20-2008, 06:26 PM

Their lack of fear about knocking off main characters is another outstanding point in their favor.
