Clueless fanboys just gotta keep on bein' fanboys.

To each their own, but...

-sIs this a joke, or is this proof you really are clueless and ragging while ignoring simple facts?

Josh Z

You're making excuses for one of the most incredibly lame plot twists in TV history.



Remind me what it is I'm supposed to like about this season. Shootin'? 'Splosions? I can get those plenty of other places that are less dumb.

Shannon Nutt

I don't watch Jack Bauer for realism any more than I watch James Bond or Ethan Hunt for it.

Josh Z

Well played, sir. You have completely annihilated my argument with your rolly-eyes. How could anyone counter such a well-reasoned response?

Josh Z

I can only suspend disbelief so far.

hdnmickey

When people then just move the goal posts when I try to clue them in, I roll my eyes and move on. As I will be now.

hdnmickey

Bingo. No different than Season 1, Season 5, or any other season. To say this season of 24 has been any different than the others in that regard is just ridiculous.

DVD Polizei

I watched Mirrors 24 times. Much more satisfying.

Extras announced. Courtesy of Blu-Ray.com. Comes out September 30th.


24 Solitary I'm assuming is the Tony Almeida extra that was teased.

Sucks that Kiefer and Cassar didn't do any commentary tracks.

Shannon Nutt

Kiefer mentioned at the ComicCon panel today that they discussed doing a DVD bonus ending that would have Jack pull out a grenade in the helicopter and blow it up...but it never happened. Thank goodness, because I think there's an excellent chance a Season 10 is coming (not next year, but probably in 2016).

Jon Cassar also said they're still thinking about a movie as well.

Official press release. Confirms the new complete series is DVD only.

KIEFER SUTHERLAND RETURNS
AS JACK BAUER IN

24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY

ARRIVING ON BLU-RAY AND DVD SEPTEMBER 30

Blu-ray Includes 24: Solitary, The
Shocking Story Extension to Live Another Day



LOS ANGELES, CA (July 24, 2014) - One of television's most critically-acclaimed dramas returns for one more mission as 24: Live Another Day arrives on Blu-ray and DVD September 30 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Starring Emmy winner Kiefer Sutherland as legendary hero Jack Bauer, the action-packed series follows our hero in real time over 12 episodes as a new terrorist threat unfolds overseas.

The year's most anticipated television event, 24: Live Another Day, delivers more explosive action than viewers could have hoped for! Exiled in London for four years, former Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer (Sutherland) must spring into action to try to save U.S. President James Heller (William Devane). In retribution for a drone strike he ordered, Heller sits in the crosshairs of the widow of an al-Qaeda leader. Along the way, Jack faces his ex-love, Heller's daughter Audrey (Kim Raver), who's married to chief of staff Mark Boudreau (Tate Donovan). Teaming with CTU operative-turned-hacktivist Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub), Jack risks everything to try to protect the U.S., prevent a global terrorist attack and outrun the CIA head (Benjamin Bratt) - as the pulse-quickening tension unfolds in real time!

Deemed one of AFI's "Top Television Series of All Time" and winner 20 Emmy Awards, 24: Live Another Day takes Jack to a foreign land for his most dangerous mission yet. The Blu-ray comes loaded with bonus material including 24: Solitary, an intense story extension of Season Nine. Additionally, both the Blu-ray and DVD include the featurette "When Worlds Collide," illustrating how this thrilling season and the pulse-pounding storytelling stems from today's terrorism and government headlines, "Destination London" focusing on shooting overseas, "Green Production" about the environmentally responsible making of the show and deleted and extended scenes.

Fans who want to experience every second of Jack Bauer's heroism can also pickup, 24: The Complete Series on September 30, which features all nine seasons, including 24: Live Another Day and the TV movie 24: Redemption.

This isn't too surprising. Especially with Fox's recent discontinuation rampage.


(Tangentially).

Awhile ago I was hoping there would eventually be a complete series bluray set for Bones. (ie. In the hope that seasons 1 to 3 would eventually be released on bluray). But now with season 9 of Bones being possibly dvd-only, most likely we'll never see a Bones complete series bluray set.

hanshotfirst1138

So basically a complete Blu-Ray set is out of the question then? Damn. I guess it's just not supportable in the market today

DJariya

I have seasons 1-6 on DVD and 7-8 on BD. It sucks to have it split like that, but what can you do?

I'm most definitely going to pick this up. I know 24 doesn't have much replay value after you finish watching it, but I want to continue my support for this show and hopefully my contribution will help inspire a 10th season getting off the ground.

morriscroy

I have a similar split for shows like House MD. (I'm not going to bother buying the German/UK bluray versions of seasons 1 to 5 of House, due to a lack of replay value for me).

MLBFan24

I have 1-7 on DVD, and 8 on BD.

I bought Day 7 on DVD before I had a bluray player. I don't double dip, so I won't upgrade it. Actually, after watching Day 7 on the bluray player I have now, it doesn't look bad at all. Once you're engrossed in the plot and action of "24", you quickly forget you're watching a DVD. Of course, I can't say that for all DVDs, but the "24" DVD up-conversion looks pretty good.

morriscroy

I found season 1 of 24 somewhat less than stellar when upscaled.

hanshotfirst1138

Even on my low-end sets, it does still look like the upscale is an upscale, especially when I get closed. Love the film grain though ! But yeah, it's obviously not ever in the cards for the show to get released on Blu with the market in the toilet, so I guess we'll have to make due.

Shannon Nutt

I have the first Complete Series set (DVD), but prebooked Live Another Day on Blu.

mattysemo247

The preorder is up over at Foxconnect. $35, or $17.50 if you can wait for their next sale

morriscroy

(On a tangent).

On a similar parallel, so far my strangest split is The Office.

- Seasons 1 to 4, 6, and 8 on dvd.
- Seasons 5 and 7 on bluray. (I'll eventually buy season 9 on bluray).

The reason for this strange split, is that Universal completely dropped the ball on the season 6 and 8 bluray sets. The season 6 packaging was absolutely atrocious where the packaging was warping and scratching the discs, and also some mastering + manufacturing problems. The season 8 discs were double-sided flippers with bluray on one side and the corresponding dvd-copy on the other side, which seemed to have playback problems (ie. lots of skipping, pixelation, etc ...).

After going through several exchanges for both seasons 6 and 8, the new replacement bluray discs were still defective and plagued with playback problems. I had enough and ended up returning the bluray sets, and resigned to buying the dvd versions. Grrrrrr ...

I chose to get it now using the 30% off coupon by signing up for their newsletter. It came out to $24.50 shipped, which was decent enough for me since i didn't want to wait.
