that's "eric lively," not "blake lively"
blake lively would make a funny lookin' son... -
are the only thing that can save 24.

Why hadn't i heard that before? That is the coolest news like, ever, dudes! Tminus 4436 hours til a double Jack Bauer hour!
-
Did you know this guy has his own website?
www.candymansales.com -
Damn, I'm going to have to watch now that Bauer is going to be fighting Candyman. Can't wait to see when the bees conquer CTU...
-
I need my Jack Bauer power hour fix.
-
What the bullshit?!?!?! Okay, the SE's are getting way out of hand. You already paid $70-$99 for the set to begin with. Now another $40? Yes, granted, you don't have to buy it. But they should really reconsider the strategy before people just don't buy anything until the 15th Anniversary Ultimate Edition release of anything.
-
...although I wonder if anyone remembers that he was already on 24, playing the detective that was investigating the suspicious death in season 3 that Sherry caused and then tried to cover up.
-
I read about that shit today. Fucking crazy. Would make a great movie. Call it.... Killer Smile.
-
Jack: Give me the damn code!!
Begbie: Away an' shite cuntybaws!
NUT -
and sound like chipmunks?
-
It has been so long since it has been on that I can't even remember what happened last season? Was it the one with his dad and nephew? The suitcase nuke that was detonated in L.A?
-
Mole-man Mole-man Mole-Man three times in a mirror, and lo and behold a mole shall appear in wherever the hell Jack's working nowadays.
I'll watch, it will be good but (and they won't change back in a million years) I wish they'd ditch the bombastic action show format and move back towards the more quiet subtle paranoia and strong character moments of seasons 1 and 2. I've not seen them in ages and still remember lines and deliveries by Palmer, Mason and co way back when. Bar a weak cameo return by Logan and the bad guy from Robocop, I'm struggling to recall season 6 at all. -
Who will be playing Jacks lovable Negro scamp sidekick?
Do the Wayans have kids needing a job? They have a history with FOX. -
So we get a Black guy, two white guys, another Black family member and then another white guy?
No chicks? No Gays? No Hispanics?
We know a Black president can not handle asteroids approaching earth. And a chick president will falsely convict a likable criminal forcing his brother to repeatedly escape prison to bring the man down.
I'm sensing the need for a Lesbian Hispanic pres. Everyone loves the Latina Lesbians.
-
The new 24 president is going to be a woman. -
Yes indeedy.
-
Well that could be a great piece of casting or terrible depending on how nasty they let him be. He's great playing mean bastards.
-
was terrific and Carlyle was terrific in it.

I'm Jack Bauer... And this is the longest hiatus of my life.
by yotzvonfrelnik
This feels like FOREVER, but you know, for a show that started having some people feel like it was getting to be a bit much, it was probably a blessing for it to get a break. Now we'll all be thrilled to have it back again.
-
Have some bees, Bauer!
-
Some wee lassie got glassed and we've got 24 hours to find out what cunt done it!
-
He played the detective investigating Alan Milliken's death in Season 3.
-
I missed not having Jack Bauer to give my Monday evenings an adrenaline rush. But then again, I haven't had that in two years since season 6 was so forgettable. A movie setting up the new season should be fun and I'm glad they're doing it as a way to set up the new season instead of trying to cram all that exposition in.
Of course , Kiefer has guaranteed this to be the BEST SEASON EVER, so there's no way it can be bad, right?
But seriously, he said the strike and extended hiatus gave them time to plot out the season in advance.I hope that's the case because the biggest problem they've had has been making the show up as they go along and then falling back on every cliche in the book. Hopefully no big explosions, more tension and no moles! -
will there be any other actresses from that show appearing? maybe a certain brunette?

Aquatarkusman, if only we could have dialogue like that on TV!
by yotzvonfrelnik
Damn! I just like the sound of "what cunt done it" in the appropriate accent, too.
-
...none of them may carry a Jack Sack, and none may utter a single "dammit!"
-
since the last episode...
-
I hope this will be like 3 hours, but it might be 2. oh, the 24 novels are pretty good
-
I really loved the first season of 24. At this point though I don't want to see another hour from this sad bastard's horrible life.

Yeah Jack should have a kill count of at least 5 per episode
by burgerking
next season. I agree with The Ender Smites Foes, and this movie should just be two hours of Jack fucking killing anyone that moves or talks to him in a hostile manner. He should be pissed he has so many shitty days.
As for Jack's mentor, he should teach him some fucking kung fu so that Jack can shoot, dodge, roll and fucking karate chop. That's the only thing he's missing. -
huh... oh right wrong series.
-
Nostradamus once predicted in his journal: "In the century 21st, the one known as Jacques will be the savior of the world... five seasons in a row." Moments later, Jack Bauer knocked down the door, shot Nostradamus in the kneecaps, and yelled "WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?!"
Superman has Jack Bauer pajamas.
Jack Bauer doesn't drink honey, he chews bees.
Jack Bauer doesn't follow protocol. Protocol follows Jack Bauer.
Jack Bauer doesn't have nightmares. Nightmares have Jack Bauers. -
She's STILL FUCKING ALIVE!!!
-
It has almost completely faded from my memory. It's like I had a concussion and the last thing I remember is President Logan getting busted and Jack getting nabbed by the tojos. Did Zombie Almeda come back? As a bad guy? It seems so absurd I must have dreamed it...
-
You really want Michelle Rodriguez cast on this show?

Remember Herc's weird interpretations of the clock noise?
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
KUH-CHUNG UNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH WEEEOHWEEEOH WEEEOH PLOP PLOINK PLOP PLOINK PLOP PLOINK L O S T K-THUD In fact, for the longest time I thought he was just trying to pass a kidney stone or something, assuming he's a dude and all, I mean who knows with Herc.
-
The badassery never ends.
-
because once they are done shooting it, it's done and they can show it on tv. With a real movie they have to deal with suits who follow arbitrary and abstract tea leaf reading ceremonies on when to release things, and it takes a ridiculous number of months between making it to it being in theatres to it being on dvd. Don't worry, I just tell myself how someday all those old fuckers who actually did business by post mail or pony express will all be dead and replaced by people who know what an internets is someday, which is simultaneously a frightening prospect.
-
Cherry Jones is playing the new president. She's not latina but she is a lesbian so you get half of what you asked for
-
"Jack Bauer doesn't have nightmares. Nightmares have Jack Bauers."
This should read: Jack Bauer doesn't have nightmares. Jack Bauer IS a nightmare (to terrorists). -
"WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?!!"I got MY kevlar kneepads....
-
So, Tony Todd aka Candyman is back again? It's all starting to make sense... his appearance in season 3 was to sow the seeds of evil that will spring forth in season 7! ZOMBIE ALMEIDA and the CUBS MUG OF DOOM!!!! gentlemen... BEHOLD!

something along the lines of Weekend at Bernies 2. PLEASE DON'T STOP THE MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC....
