"He was at a humanitarian work project, but he was merely visiting a friend of his who had made his life there," explains Gordon. "Jack was wandering and finding where he belongs in the world. On one level, his friend says, ‘If you think you’re going to find penance here, you’re not going to find it.’ Jack actually has been there for a couple of months, and we learn he has been wandering the world basically trying to find a place to belong and looking for penance and realizes he’s not going to find it anywhere, so he gets caught up in a coup and has a BLACK HAWK DOWN kind of moment."

The other shocking revelation was the series would have broken its 24 hour, real-time rule for the first time in the series history.

"We were going to do a time jump twelve hours ahead and have Jack Bauer in Africa for a couple of hours in real-time and then jump it forward long enough to get back to America," says Gordon. "So we were going to defy the real-time thing."

Season 7 takes place 3+ plus years later.

It was good enough that I'll likely watch the show. But not great by any means. I don't care for the actress playing Sara. She seems like she's on Valium or something. I get no sense of intensity from her, so much so that it'd be worth a recast, even at this late stage. She is the title character after all. I like Summer Glau in it, and she's enough to keep me watching.

My biggest problem is that this show is going to be easy to tear apart which means us talkbackers will be brutal on it. Example: *SPOILER* The teacher went through the trouble of smuggling a pistol back in time??? Why not a freakin' plasma rifle in a 40 watt range or some shit? This should have stood out to anyone reviewing the script. *END SPOILER* There were a number of other stupid things like this that give the show a 90s feel. Reality programming has split the TV audience. The hoopleheads have their American Idol, but the rest of us left, who still watch shows, want them more intelligent than ever.

However, for a pilot, it's good. I'm sure the show will have a better feel once they ramp up production. Maybe by then, the lead actress won't seem so freakin' boring.
