Twenty Four (24) -- Season 7 Premiere -- "8:00am-10:00am" -- 1/11/09

DJariya · 01-10-09, 01:37 PM

Synopsis:

Spoiler:

Jack is back!! Cannot wait until tomorrow night. I actually watched the 1st 17 minutes on the 24: Redemption DVD and I thought it was a great start.

Bluelitespecial · 01-10-09, 02:42 PM

Oh shit I was already asking myself we should go ahead and start this thread. I think most of us have an unhealthy obsession with Jack Bauer that we can't wait for tomorrow

Deftones · 01-10-09, 02:44 PM

Hopefully we get less than an hour of Senate hearings and 3 hours of kick ass action over the next two nights!

I'm guessing that you didn't watch the special feature of the first 16 mins of "8:00 AM-9:00 AM" on the Redemption DVD...

Spoiler:

Unfortunately, I have a conflict tomorrow night and I don't have a DVR, so I'll have to tape it, or watch it Monday.

Deftones · 01-10-09, 03:00 PM

I didn't because I watched Redemption on TV, not on DVD. Good news, though.

Dean Kousoulas · 01-10-09, 03:02 PM

Here's hoping for a great season!

Since I had Seasons 1-6 on DVD I figured, why not have the movie too.

This will be my first time watching 24 week to week. I was one of those who came late to the party and watch Season 1-4 in Dec '07-Jan '08 (on Winter Break) and Seasons 5-6 in June '08 (after the semester let out).

I'm not sure I can handle the patience of waiting and remembering characters and plots from week to week.

Hopefully, I'll be okay.

Bring it on!

We're in the same boat. I've never watched it week-to-week. I started watching Season 1 on DVD a little while before Season 6 began airing on TV.

Torchur317 · 01-10-09, 03:59 PM

Not very smart to have this on at the same time as the Golden Globes....
DVR for me....

Deftones · 01-10-09, 04:08 PM

Actually, I think it's brilliant counter-programming.

ATX · 01-10-09, 04:32 PM

wonder how long it will take for Jack to whoop the shit outa that pussy UN guy

i watched redemption again and he was mocking Jack

he's gonna get it

How so?

LickTheABCs · 01-10-09, 05:06 PM

I haven't watched it on TV since year 4. Gregory Itzin and Jean Smart as the president/first lady was just some of the worst television I've seen since I can remember. Completely destroyed any hope I had for season six.

Gonna give this a shot... hope it doesn't disappoint.

Because, on the whole, women watch award shows. Guys watch shows like 24.

Torchur317 · 01-10-09, 05:24 PM

Not really....
I'm big fan of 24 even tho last season really wasn't great....
But I'm watching Golden Globes live & checking out 24 on the DVR....
I'm a huge movie fan so I like watching the Academy,SAG,Golden Globes, & etc.

DJariya · 01-10-09, 07:33 PM

I'm going to predict the season premiere will get between 12-15M viewers and will stabilize between 10-12 during the course of the season.

Regarding the Globes: Hopefully Kiefer doesn't attend since 24 isn't up for anything.

The good thing about this season is they wrapped production last month. We're going to get 24 episodes non-stop with no interruptions (SAG strike or No strike).

Even though it's been a painful wait, I'm actually kind of glad it's been off the air so long.

Wrong.....

Best Performance by an Actor in a Mini-Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television:
Kiefer Sutherland for 24: Redemption (2008) (TV)

Oops my bad....Forgot about the movie being up for something. So I guess he's attending. That would be weird if he wins since this damn award show is on a rival network.

DJariya · 01-10-09, 07:48 PM

Here's another promo graphic for the new season. I actually like this one better than the one from my 1st post.

Really? You thought Jean Smart and Greg Itzin were bad? I thought their performances in season 5 were Emmy worthy.

You must have had some pre-conceived hate for Itzin when he was introduced late in season 4.

mhg83 · 01-10-09, 08:33 PM

lets hope this new season gets us to forget that shitty season six

CharlieK · 01-10-09, 08:33 PM

Really looking forward to this. I've missed Jack. So glad they moved the show outta LA.

Tarantino · 01-10-09, 09:33 PM

FINALLY.

Add me to the list of people who has never caught it week to week. I actually think I'm going to hate that aspect. I loved ripping through the DVD's.

Nope. I don't think he's that bad. But the character, well both of 'em, were so god-awful. It also featured one of the worst heel turns for a character ever.

FantasticVSDoom · 01-10-09, 11:29 PM

Another one here who will be watching this for the first time on a week to week basis... Actually finishing season 6 right now and will watch Redemption tomorrow before hand. Im excited but not sure how Im going to like not being able to watch it as I please.
