You won't recognize anyone except for Jack and Milo and you won't recognize the significance of "Bluetooth guy", but this show isn't especially complex--you'll be able to jump in. I suggest watching the other seasons first, though, just because it'll be more fun that way.

Each day's plotline does start over, so it is possible to start watching a season having missed some of the previous ones with some success. But you will likely miss out on a few plot points along the way. And who knows - Season Six may have more dependencies on the past than previous seasons.

The kid kind of looked like young Kurt Russell.
I was hoping they'd get Donald Sutherland to play Jack's dad.

Man, they should've waited to the end of the episode for that reveal. Didn't see that coming!

Error in tonight's show - while Jack was torturing Mr. Bluetooth, the TV in the background was still playing footage of the scene outside of Valencia instead of the President's speech. There's no way a news organization would not go to the President.

Mr. Blue Tooth as Jack's brother is a bit ridiculous. Seems like they're reaching for straws here for that Wow factor. Also, I'm starting to think that they might have literally blown their load in the first four episodes of this season. Why would anyone try a nuclear attack if they didn't even have the equipment to detonate the suitcase nukes? I like this show as much as most of the people on here but I thought that tonights episode was very meh except for the helicopter on the house rescue sequence.

It's just common sense really.

I was going the sarcastic riddle route, forgot the emoticon (worst term ever.).

A few bad acting performances notwithstanding, this could be the best start to a season 24's ever had.

The Prez' speech was ok, it was that dry, stupid delivery he gave it. It sounded like he was mocking some other guys speech in his speech.
Made me laugh.
Why is Jack a handsome bad-ass and his brother a bald weasel....with a hot wife that JACK BANGED!
When Jack got the lamp wire I thought he was going to give Graham "the shocker!"

Like Cornflake mentioned, DB Woodside's delivery of the Presidential speech was BAAAD. Regina King was grating, so was Patricia Heaton's husband; Paul McCrane was essentially doing the same schtick he did on ER, and Fayed's looking more like Michael Stipe.
Even with the reveal of Bauer's bro, this was a bland episode.

Course, it still doesn't explain how he has a hot wife (and I'm in the group that thinks Blue Tooth's son is actually Jack's offspring).
