Please redeem yourselves by Vonfolger	Oct 24th, 2007 05:38:02 PM
This used to be the greatest show on television. The reintroduction of Tony is a step in the right direction. Team Jack with Mandy for half the season only to find out that Tony is still a "good guy", and you have yourself a great season.. Will be weird not seeing CTU though.
Bollocks by Porco Drunko	Oct 24th, 2007 05:38:06 PM
Can't believe I'm about to say this after the shitfest that was season 6 but that trailer actually got me pretty excited. Not sure whether Tony as a bad guy is gonna make a hell of a lot of sense but since when has common sense had anything to do with 24.
Frankenfickle.... by seanny_d	Oct 24th, 2007 05:41:39 PM
That's the first thing I thought. Replace John McClane with Jack Bauer and you have yourself a season 7. And Tony BETTER be revealed to be good or it's done. Forever.

Man oh man I didn't like series 6 much but that looks sweet! Tony is back! And he's pissed off for some reason!! This is going to be insane!
Awesome by JackBauerJackBauer	Oct 24th, 2007 05:59:10 PM
I honestly never cared for Tony Almeida, I thought season 6 was better without him. Tony as a villain makes sense and I sure as hell want to watch to see how it's all going to go down.

Oh Come On by Greenleaf1	Oct 24th, 2007 06:02:29 PM
I was so excited when that trailer started, him being at the hearing was beyond cool, and I was hoping seeing Tony again would be awesome, but WTF HE'S THE VILLAIN!! And he never had any look on his face but boredom. He obviously aint had many villain roles, he thinks he's looking evil, he more or less just looks bored. Plus back in season 3, Saunders was pretty much the same character. There better be something radically different about Tony this season, and they better have the best possible excuse for Tony being alive otherwise it won't be any better than season 6. And in case you forgot, season 6 started out exceptionally well, and only fell apart in the last 1/3 of the season, who knows, I hope season 7 is good.
Ok, hmmmmm, can we trust em? by skydemon	Oct 24th, 2007 06:08:58 PM
If season 7 is as good as the preview, this might be worth the time. This show was so good until season six. I'm so pissed off about wasting my time with season six, that if seven doesn't turn out as good as what they're teasing us with here, I'm gone for good dammit. Shit I really hope it IS this good again.
24 might be the worst show on television... by Frank Black	Oct 24th, 2007 06:09:21 PM
...but it could be good. The writing just sucks. Great actors. Decent budget. Its just dumb, implausible and infantile. Bring in someone like David Mamet or any writer with grit to balance out the cheesiness and it could be great!
Ah, hell, the voiceover could say... by epitone	Oct 24th, 2007 06:09:23 PM
"Jack Bauer is back. And all you bleeding heart pussies can suck it." And this bleeding heart pussy would still watch it. What can I say. That show is too good, even with it's Limbaugh-approved dialogue.
There're no night scenes by estacado1	Oct 24th, 2007 06:09:55 PM
There're no night scenes. Are they breaking the format? I hope they do. I hate it when the season goes into "night mode". It just feels uncomfortable watching a whole series of events without seeing sunlight.
FIRST! by Optimus V	Oct 24th, 2007 06:11:08 PM
Well, my first post...whatever. I'm with Porco on this. I tried to convince myself for a while that Season 6 had redeeming qualities...it didn't. As soon as Curtis was dead and Kal Penn was bad, I lost interest. This trailer looks sweeet though.

No CTU is a good thing. by Barry Egan	Oct 24th, 2007 06:37:39 PM
Last year 24 collapsed under the weight of its own formula. It will be good to see it rebooted. I would have loved the set in Africa season they had planned.

Tony by Magma Suit	Oct 24th, 2007 06:42:38 PM
I'm confused. Cause he was pretty dead in season 5. Though in his defense, when Jack faked his death no one seemed to care that his body dissapeared from a generator room inside CTU. No wonder they're disbanded. Also, this looks exactly like Live Free or Die Hard. Like EXACTLY. Though Sen. Boddicker makes me happy.

They've got me hooked, and there's not a thing I can do about it. Yeah, last season let me down, but I watch that trailer and I just get all warm inside. You know, like when you were in school and you didn't do your homework and the next day you go in and your teacher forgets to collect the homework and you realize she's completely forgot about it and nobody says anything to her and you're completely in the clear. That kinda warm inside.

I kept trying to remember last year's trailer, and although some stuff seemed cool, I don't quite remember feeling all jazzed about it. But this season's preview, I think I'm looking forward to it. But Tony a baddie? Say it isn't so. Maybe they'll build his character up like Big Boss in Metal Gear. Or you never know, maybe one of these seasons Jack will become the baddie.

Finally................oh so sweet. So, Tony's back! Yay! Oh wait, he's a bad guy? And he's pulling off the Die Hard plot? This is the original idea they came up with for s7? Rip off Bruce Willis? I really hope there's more to it than that. The most ironic part of the trailor is when the voice-over guy says, "This promises to be a season unlike any other!" and then Jack starts to torture a guy for information. They always say that THIS season is going to be different and then we end up getting the same story all over again. I really hope they mean it this time (but I'll watch anyway because I don't know any better).
KIEFER by The Real MiraJeff	Oct 24th, 2007 07:46:10 PM
I had the pleasure of speaking with Jack Bauer himself after the Emmy's. We were at Spago and he took me out the back while he smoked a cigarette. After we did a brief interview, I turned the recorder off and we had a real conversation about 24. I've been watching the show since it first premiered, back when I was in high school, and I straight-up told him how disappointed I was with last season. He apologized and said he understood how I felt, explaining how hard it is keeping things fresh within the confines of the real-time format, especially during the middle of the season. He told me about some of the changes the show is undergoing, all of which sounded very intriguing. I told him how I, as a fan, appreciated his commitment to the show, in that he actually takes responsibility as one of its producers and he genuinely cares about what the fans think, which not all mega TV stars do. I'm a big fan of the new cast the showrunners have imported, plus it'll be good to see Jack back kicking ass with Tony Almeida. I agree with a lot of talkbackers that the showed jumped the shark last season after its surprise Emmy win and needed a complete overhauling. Thankfully, the creative forces behind 24 seem to have listened. That trailer definitely got me psyched for the new season, and even if the show doesn't return to the glory days of the first and second seasons, it can't possibly be as ridiculous as last year. Hopefully we'll see the writing staff experiment with the formula, and I'm sure they'll deliver some major surprises along the way. The show has earned the benefit of the doubt, so let's try and give it that. If things quickly regress after the season premiere, it may be time to walk away from 24 for good, but I really believe this show will turn things around and recapture what made it so fucking awesome in the first place. So here's to the return of Jack, the rebirth of Tony and the hiring of Red Foreman. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a Naked Mandy cameo.

If you serve me shit for this many years by Vesuvio	Oct 24th, 2007 07:56:29 PM
It doesn't matter how delicious the cheesecake you offer me now looks. I always remember the shit. 24 lost its chance of redemption at the second half of day 3 (after a perfect first half) when Nina did not killed Kim while fleeing CTU. Can you imagine, wife and daughter murdered at same room, by the same murderer?. Then they should've made Day 4 all about Jack pursuing Nina. Or even with Day 3 ending badly as it did, at least they could've made Day 4 any good at all.

Presidents but somehow this show thought it was wise to equal that in 3 seasons. Well, I just assume that Logan is dead... But that was starting to REALLY strain credibility. The US would be in a state of turmoil if we really had 4 Presidents killed within 4 years of each other, to on the same day, for God's sake!!!

The trailer looks ok by veritasses	Oct 24th, 2007 09:15:55 PM
and while the last (couple) seasons have have really gone down the crapper, it does deserve a chance for redemption. The only worry though is that they seemed to be reincorporating the same ideas... After 6 seasons of the same thing I would've preferred a complete reboot. A fresh start with a clean slate with a whole new bunch of writers. Though I like Tony as the bad guy. Bauer needs an adversary that is his equal and who knows him better then he knows himself. There's no drama or suspense in a hero who is all powerful and who has no equal and who we know is just going to breeze through whatever squad of goons he encounters.
Die Hard 4 by TheMarineBiologist	Oct 24th, 2007 09:17:15 PM
I agree: when I was watching the trailer, and they had that one lady explaining what the "terrorists could wipe out," I did specifically think, "hey, why are they going over this again? Isn't this common knowledge?" Then I remembered that it was from Die Hard 4... Still, at least we got Tony...
Are they going to call this season "12" or "16"? by TallBoy66	Oct 24th, 2007 09:27:32 PM

Red Foreman+Evil Soul Patch + Billy Walsh by TVguy4566	Oct 24th, 2007 09:30:19 PM
from Entourage. This season has some promise. I have been waiting from season one for Tony to turn on Jack. Yes, it really stretches the bounds of reality to make Tony alive and be now evil, but when has 24 ever pretended to stick to anything resembling reality. I truly believe from what I see in the trailer to make this a redemption season. Then again, when I found out that Dr. Romano who was the puppet master behind season 5 was going to be Jack's brother, I had big hopes for season 6. Boy, was I wrong there.

Too many things were acknowledged as being wrong last year, too many much was made of the decline in quality for the creators and Keifer to not make a legitimate effort to return the series to the over-the-top-but-compelling show that it can be be. If not, I guess we'll end up seeing Keifer show up as Tripp's illegitimate son on Dirty Sexy Money.

it needs to be an hour long seige scene. Something like that would be remembered for a long time. Also, I still want a season to continue directly after the previous one, making it a 48 hour story.
CTU gone? Good. by The Visco Kid	Oct 25th, 2007 03:57:16 AM
How many times was CTU's security breached? How many times did the staff members at CTU spend hours and hours arguing? How many struggles over power were there at the top spot at CTU? With all the ridiculous bullshit that has happened at CTU, I for one will not be sad to see it absent this season. Also, what kind of world has the world of "24" become when you consider the US has had at least two presidents die tragic deaths and one president forced from office due to his terrorist ties. Also, the country has had attack after attack befall it and hundreds of innocent people killed. I have to imagine that the world in which "24" takes place has got to be very bleak and dangerous. I mean, as I pointed out in the beginning of this post, the very organization in charge of fighting terrorists has fallen victim to internal attacks at least three or four times over the course of the series. The government just needs to get off of Jack's back, and let him shoot first and possibly ask questions later. When has he been wrong about someone? Honestly, it is silly how many times the terrorists slip away because someone wouldn't trust Jack when he tries to tell them something. GRAVITAS!!!
The return of tony will not make sense by emeraldboy	Oct 25th, 2007 04:11:30 AM
seeing as Season six ended with Jack looking into the sea at the back of the heller estate.

That looks fucken awesome by photoboy	Oct 25th, 2007 04:51:46 AM
Looks like they really have decided to shake the formula up this season, which should hopefully get rid of the horribly generic feel that last season had. Hopefully Clarence Boddicker gets to do more than just interrogate Jack. I think we just need Miguel Ferrer and Ronny Cox to make an appearance and the Robocop cast will be complete!

What does the ending of Season 6 have to do with Tony's return not making any sense? The only thing that doesn't make sense about Tony's return is that 2 second scene where the CTU Doctors put a sheet over his body. They should have just wheeled him and left you thinking he was dead or whatever. I thought, back then even, that putting a sheet over him was a dumb idea.
Actually a Ronny Cox appearance by The Selecter	Oct 25th, 2007 05:33:51 AM
wouldn't be a bad thing. Knowing 24, the trailer probably only shows the first six hours or so, up until the writers just start making shit up on the fly once they realize they need to do 24 hours worth of TV to fulfill the contract for the season.

"no night scenes" by 24200124	Oct 25th, 2007 06:19:42 AM
There are no night scenes because, well, due to the show's 24 hour format, they've probably only shot daytime scenes so far. Night scenes will come later. And I hope to God you weren't being serious.
Tony's return makes perfect sense, here's why by Vesuvio	Oct 25th, 2007 07:00:57 AM
I got all the spoilers people. When the lady is showing Jack that monitor, she is actually demonstrating USA's new technology to see into the Underworld. So, to get rid of all his DUI charges, Jack accepts to be temporarily killed and frozen so he can fight Tony and his Minions of Hell in the afterlife. However, in the end, a mole causes a terrorist attack on the facility Jack's body is frozen, so his capsule is lost amongst the debris. END OF DAY 7.
DAY 8 begins by Vesuvio	Oct 25th, 2007 07:03:09 AM
Then, season 8 will start with Jack waking up 20 years in the future, where he'll find out that Kim Bauer is the first lesbian president of the USA, being engaged in a very graphic and explicit relation with Mandy. Kim's also a terrorist mole. The twist? Somehow Nina's ghost found out a way to come back with Jack in his own body, so now Jack has to deal with the struggle within (because every hero has to do it eventually), because half of him, evil NinaJack wants to kill the president (his own daughter! OMG) and have sex with Mandy, while the other half of him, GoodDrunkenJack, wants to protect his daughter and have sex with Mandy. My only fear is that maybe this premise isn't really streched enough for 24.
Don't understand all the hate on last season by Fawst	Oct 25th, 2007 07:04:37 AM
To be honest, my friend and I (she's the biggest 24 fan I've ever met) thought they actually did a lot of things RIGHT. For instance, when Yanosh was being led out of that back room by the brother of that 80's bad boy, and the guards showed up, what did he do? Did he go along with them and drag out the whole thing? NO! He fixes his fuckin tie, takes a step forward, turns around and outs the fuckers! Way to go Galen! Ok, so beyond that I don't have much. I liked it, though. This trailer is pretty good, it doesn't seem like they've changed much (CTU is gone, ok, replace with some other government org that Bauer is helping). Almeida being the bad is kinda... I dunno, I like it, and I'm sure he had a lot of fun playing the role, but I dunno. Could go either way. I have a feeling it's gonna be the cliche "They killed my wife! They took my LIFE away! WHAT DO I OWE THIS COUNTRY, JACK?! NOTHING!" kinda storyline. You know?
In interviews carlos bernard said that he was done by emeraldboy	Oct 25th, 2007 07:19:36 AM
So the writers, wrote him out of the show. Go on to the 24 site and look at the chracters who bit the dust, and tony is one of them. Unless someone made a huge fuck up. Jack wearing his bathrobe goes into bathroom and hears the shower running and pulls back the curtain and its Tony. You can hear the howls of laughter from the audience. Quickly replaced by audience saying this fox.......
Tony did not make an appearance in Season 6 and by emeraldboy	Oct 25th, 2007 07:29:34 AM
was not mentioned. Season 7 he's back and without and explanation and mighty pissed, from what I hear. Season 6 was all about the Bauer family and Jacks escape from a chinese prison and what the chinese did to audrey heller. trebel yawn. For some reason that has never been explained, the writers dropped thier planned ending for one which as we know saw jack gazing at the sea. tony as appearing at the end would have been a huge jolt and we would have been holy shit. but it never happened. So another question then is how do they explain Cherry Jones as the president. seeing as she is an unmentioned character. A little clarity wouldnt hurt.

This show blew it by I am_NOTREAL	Oct 25th, 2007 07:44:23 AM
with two consecutive chances to reinvent itself, at the end of seasons 4 and 5, the writers chickened out both times. They could've had Jack on the road, Lone Wolf-style: copped out. Could've done season 6 in China: not only did they cop out, they squandered every ounce of tension built by the finale of day 5 in about the first 10 minutes of day 6. Why should we believe them now??? That said, the trailer did look kinda cool. I'll probably give it a couple of hours. Of course, the way they front-load 24, the first 4 and last 2 hours are always the best. The stuff in the middle...meh, a lot of it.
crossover by batjac	Oct 25th, 2007 08:01:59 AM
Jack needs help to bring down Tony so he calls up David Palmer and his Unit buddies. THEN they discover that Tony is really Steve Austin- the first bionic man (ta dah)so they bring in Katee Sackoff to bring him down. THEN the real bad guy is revealed--HOLY FRAC--BALTAR is the bad guy. JACK vs. THE CYLONS! Best season of 24 --ever

I would have watched the season 7 premier regardless (what else do I have going on?). But, now they got me excited about it. With Heroes kind of sucking this year (so far) 24 may be able to win be back. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume season 6 was just a fluke.

I think they can explain Tony's death the same by TVguy4566	Oct 25th, 2007 09:18:33 AM
way that the "killed" Jack at the end of season 4. We will find out instead of being shot up with the torture drug, he got the same stuff Jack got and was revived. That would mean that he was in cohoots with Peter Weller though and played a hand in Michelle's death and his almost death. That is plausible in the 24 universe.
What needs to happen by fireclown	Oct 25th, 2007 09:20:23 AM
Jack Turns to the dark side after being crapped on year in and year out. After years of distinguished service the guy has a dead wife, a dead girlfriend (the way sexy Nina Meyers) a daughter that won't give him the time of day, a son in law with one hand, a lingering heroin addiction, a whole mess of scars from going to Chinese Prison from which he was only sprung in order to let someone else kill him. God knows what condition his pension is in since he has been dead and fired a handful of times and now he is on FRAKING TRIAL. It's not so hard to believe that the hethan chinamen have brainwashed him to bring down the USA. The cult of Jack would allow him to ask for and GET Lord knows what, for which he would have perfectly good excuses for. He ends up giving the list of active agents to the Chinese, killing several key senators and eventually detonating a nuke in the whitehouse. Flash white, roll credits. Series over.
Vesuvio by TVguy4566	Oct 25th, 2007 09:21:59 AM
Why would we want to wait until Kim is 40-something and Mandy is 50-something for some lesbian action. This is 24. They can bend the rules of logic here. They can have it so Kim finds a loophole in the Constitution and finds out she can run as a 25 year old. A 25 year old, lesbian President Kim Bauer is so much hotter.

The West Wing proves that Martin Sheen should be President, unless the original Dead Zone movie proves the opposite poitn!
I don't think it's "Tony". by Darth Bauer	Oct 25th, 2007 10:18:34 AM
Jack THINKS it's Tony, but from the shots of him, he doesn't seem like Tony.
It's Tony by Jor-El23	Oct 25th, 2007 10:22:19 AM
but maybe he's not "bad" like we think. Or maybe he is. I'm just glad they're out of LA for a change. In reality it doesn't make sense for terrorists to be constantly attacking LA anyway. I always thought Jack would be the one to really go bad which would then usher in a new main character on the show, perhaps Tony.

Doesn't look that great. The last season really sucked in the second half, but the first 4-10 episodes were great. From the trailer, I'm skeptical.
Torture? In 24? by supertoyslast	Oct 25th, 2007 12:01:13 PM
This season is obviously daring and original. And torture is a technique that works so well on TV that we should consider employing it in real life. Now why would Fox pull a trailer from YouTube? I know that they're precious about copyright, but does this company really not want free advertising? Also, I still bet that there's a mid-season slump since they can't keep up the pace and the writers never sketch out a complete season-arc beforehand.

Each year it seemed the outed mole always plugged a few of them, or they were the first to die when the place was blown up, or the place was freaking gassed... Come to think of it, that place must've been tough to staff.

ante too quickly with Season 2. I thought that was the last truly great season but the whole time I was watching it I was wondering how they would go on from there. How the Hell do you top a nuclear bomb? They should have kept it personal some how. I don't think there's ever been a more suspenseful or intense 6 or 7 hours of TV as the first half of Season 1 of 24.

Jack Bauer in "Live Free or Die Harder"!?! by L.H.Puttgrass	Oct 25th, 2007 12:54:34 PM
Who didn't think that while watching that trailer? You know you did! Jack Bauer is John McClane! Zombie Almeida is Bad Guy Timothy Olyphant! Zombie Michelle is Kung Fu Maggie Q! Look at the plot. Former Gov Guy attacks country via the internet! Live Free or Die 24/7! That's the season's new title.

Don't let my name fool you... by JackBauer24	Oct 25th, 2007 02:54:46 PM
I gave up on 24 a long time ago. Season 1 was absolutely amazing, one of the best seasons of television ever. Which is why I still use this name. S2 rocked as well, and had a really well thought out plot. S3 was a bit shaky in places but still had some great moments and characters. Season 4 was lame. Full stop - that's when I first tuned out - halfway through. I didn't watch S5 on TV but rented the DVD because I'd heard it was better than S4. And it was - largely due to the Logans. After 2 episodes of S6 I tuned out again and the reports sound truly awful. 24 has jumped. They are out of ideas. But I will give S7 a chance out of good faith. He has got the S1 hairstyle back after all. Maybe it's a sign...

...as I recall season 6 should have been called 18 as it sort of petered out after that. Great to see Tony back. All that fuss about him not getting the silent clock makes sense now. I'm thinking Tony could out for revenge for the death of Michelle or in some sort of super deep cover as someone suggested a few posts back.

I hope this is a great season, but remember the previews for season 6, with the U.S. in the grips of the terrorist attacks, and Jack questioning his abilities. That trailer will be the first 4 hours then hour 6 will be him hunting a lead. I hope i'm wrong.
