Learn What Kim Bauer’s Been Up To!! And Whether Veronica Mars Will Be Sporting An FBI Badge In Her Movie!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Elisha Cuthbert has signed to return as Kim Bauer for the upcoming 7th season of “24” and she’ll be toting Jack Bauer’s grandkid, according to Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello.
Kim, who might be in her late thirties given the series’ penchant for skipping years between seasons, won’t be in the company of middle-aged C. Thomas Howell’s character. Cuthbert – a regular during the series’ first three seasons – appeared in two episodes of season five, and missed Jack’s reunion with his evil brother and father in season six.
Read all of this week’s edition of Ask Ausiello, which also reveals that the proposed “Veronica Mars” movie would keep the title character in Neptune and in college (and not flash-foward to her FBI years), here.

and Veronica Mars!
-
You know you were all thinking it.
-
There is no place for Jack Bauer in Obamas administration.
-
Barton Fink for $4.99 each! Coen Brothers films cheap! Oh and it's been way too long between 24 seasons, better watch season 2 again for dose of cougarific TV.

is cute, but she has no business to be in 24.

ba-da-BING!

Kim is now on the Board of Trustees of Mensa and the current Secretary of State. Her son, now aged 10, is a biochemical genius who devises a clear toxic gas which kills the President and all the other members of the cabinet by hour 7, elevating Kim to the Oval Office. She becomes mad with power and her first official act as Commander in Chief: KILL JACK BAUER. Her second act is to change the symbol of the United States from the Bald Eagle to: The Cougar.
-
Honestly, the timeline for this show is fucked in the head.
It says a lot about the plots when such a fucked up timeline isn't even in the top 10 fucking stupid things about this show. -
Kim's infant baby turns out to be the mole. other less shocking moles include this year's love interest, the head of CTU and jack's blue Camry.
-
How can she have signed on when season 7 is done? Weren't there trailers for this sometime last year? I'm sure I saw a snippet of Tony Almeda as the bad guy.
-
Shit, Chloe is worse than Jar Jar Binks and Scrappy Doo together!
-
I recon the movie would be more likely to happen if it was set in the FBI.
-
if the photos of them "dating" at a few events count.
-
Best laugh I've had all week.
-
They only had like half-a-dozen eps in the can when the writer's strike shut down the season.

...but last season was a complete joke. I hope that they can get this show back on track, hopefully Kim will die this season as her character is boring and getting her involved in any plot is just going to be too contrived. Having Almeida return is a good sign, so I am tentatively keeping the faith - for now, last season WAS that bad - sooo fingers crossed. :)

I'm glad they're not doing the FBI thing, that would have been retarded. The FBI is stodgy and formal whereas Veronica Mars breaks the rules to get the job done. They just don't work together story-wise. I wouldn't have even bothered with a fourth season or this movie if they had done that.
So I guess Jack's gonna have a granddaughter to protect. They ran out of other family members to endanger but that won't stop them from going there yet again. Fuck FOX. 24 NEEDS to have a final season that shakes things up. The obvious story would be Jack going rogue once and for all. Of course, I haven't read any spoilers but it's a safe assumption we'll be watching the same ole crap.
Why is it that networks either cancel shows way too soon or let them run on forever to the point where everyone hates them? Here's a hint, 5 - 7 seasons makes a show, no more, no less. That's the rule for a decent, dynamic show. For a show like 24 that keeps rehashing the same plots, anything more than 4 seasons is a waste. -
she wasn't in any of season 6 and that was easily the worst season of 24 in my book...
-
Never could stand her character. One of the things that bogged last season down was the amount of screentime given over to Jack's extended family - pop, bro, nephew, sister-in-law/obvious ex-girlfriend. Now we're getting more Bauers?

As worse characters on TV go, Maya w/Heroes >>>>>>>>Kim Bauer
by pennsy
Yes.
-
At least Elisha Cuthbert is the hottness. The bitch who plays Chloe walks around every scene she's in with a face like she's sniffing farts. Chloe is the worst thing on the show, has been since the moment she appeared on screen. I'd rather have the cougar working at CTU than her. I hope the ghost of Jacks wife pulls Chloe to hell hour 1.
-
If it hadn't already. Last season was pretty bad.
-
Bell and Cuthbert that is. I liked all of the 24 season, because they are all just silly, yet entertainign shows with a badass hero. Never watched Veronica Mars because I am a man, not a high school girl!
-
The problem was that her character really only had use to the series in the first season. She was the catalyst for the whole season. After season #1, they really didn't know what to do with her and put her in increasingly more ludicrious situations.
As for her being the most annoying character, not even close. Chloe was worse her first few seasons. Erin Driscoll and her bipolar suicidal daughter were more annoying. Phillip Bauer (sorry James Cromwell) was more annoying since he was a wasted character and killed off his more interesting villian son.
I guess getting to watch the hotness that is Elisha Cuthbert makes me forgive some of the annoyingness of Kim Bauer. Cuthbert makes me wish I was willing to get up for those 4AM practices my high school hockey team required if you played on the team. She is runner up to the All Time Greatest Puck Fuck after Carol Alt and Janet Jones. -

So, now this site is simply going to parrot Ausiello's reports?
by mockingbird girl
Lame. Remember when this site actually BROKE entertainment news?
-
That would generally ballpark what Kim will probably do. Yes, Kim in a klutz who somehow screwed up everything. Yes, I can't picture a character with a penchant for causing random mayhem and chaos wherever she goes actually being a competent parent. Yes, the cougar is lame and Cuthbert is sometimes, shall we say, over-emotive. But, Goddamnit, Elisha Cuthbert is fucking hot and bring her back because she's hot. And now she's a MILF! MILF! MILF! Hot!
-
They should just quit the family-centric shit, bring in true nemesis that Nina was earlier in the series. Jack Bauer needs his "Joker", somebody that can match him. Arab terrorist ain't doing it anymore. Chinese terrorist ain't doing it too. This season they'll go African. By season 10, they'll be forced to use Jewish terrorist, but Fox ain't gonna have any of that. So it's back to Arabs.Maybe Indians is a good option too. They sabotage the call centers and Americans are left figure out how to use the washing machine all by themselves. Shocking!
-
If the new season doesn't trigger any horrible relapses and turns out to be halfway decent, there will be hope for 24 yet. I think the producers know that they kinda screwed themselves out of the big movie deal with the turd they laid last time out.
-
...and this time, let it eat Kim.
-
Kitty to kitty.. Mreow!
-
Very amusing. Thanks for the laugh. I don't think I'll ever get tired of the 24 cougar humor.
-
Whoever films 24 must turn town the temperature for her scenes.
-
But without that damned cougar, there would never have been a pressing need to go to the creepy dude's cabin, take a shower, and put on the tight wifebeater.
-
So will this Mars movie be for the CW?
90210 was shitty... -
...is still 10 time better than the majority of last season....Here is hoping the writer's heard the protests of loyal 24 fans (myself among them) who were utterly disappointed.Season 7! No Putrescence!! (please?)
-
The time between each season works out to about a year and a half. Since it takes 24 weeks to tell on day's story, it's about right. People can bitch about this but not MASH, which had the Korean war lasting 11 years? At least 24 doesn't pretend to be in the same universe.
