Fuck really? I remember Lost, but 24 was that big on GAF?
Last seasons of Breaking Bad could have easily gone with one thread per episode, too.

Was one of the first "TV Watching" topics, and it was from a time where "mega topics" weren't as popular. The earlier ones still existing on the database are only 200-300 posts long.

I'm doing the OP for the series soooo

I may start off with a single thread for the premiere, and just keep the discussion in there. Would be better to keep it all in one though and split it when the post count gets reached like Breaking Bad.

It depends on just how insane things get, but a single thread (or a few of them) is far better for archiving than 12 seperate ones. If it turns out that we're reaching the post count for each ep anyway then sure, new thread for each.

Whats the concensus on this?
 
I'd rather have one thread per episode, as it makes it far easier for people to discuss particulars without being spoiled if they are behind in episodes. I'm guessing GAF management doesn't care as much about that aspect, though, and will keep it restricted to one thread.

Yeah, that's the thing. I'll ask a mod at some point unless one waltzes in here and tells us now

I dunno, the latest Breaking Bad threads were a chore to navigate through. If we'd knew the 24 one will be as huge as those (and I doubt it), then I'd very much appreciate seperate threads.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
GAF has gotten a LOT larger since S8 of 24, and obviously there are a lot of fans on here, but I don't think this will be quite big enough to warrant separate episode threads. That really only happened for S5, and it was when 250 posts or so in a thread was considered, like, a shitload.

Nose how to spell and rede to
guys please 24 my avatar

Damnit I tried but I can't figure out how to recreate those shadows. Any tips on how to do that? (I use GIMP, obviously I'm super talented)

Woke up this morning, longing for 24. I'm going to start rewatching them if anybody else is interested in doing the same.
 
I'm so glad they're scaling back on the realtime format. I know that's what made 24 innovating, but I really do think they can bounce around more ideas and not be restricted to the linear real time storytelling.
 
Colin Salmon cast as General Coburn

Coburn will be "an intelligent, powerful and fiercely loyal man who does not suffer fools no matter what rank".

I am very, very excited to see this return. The teaser seamed somewhat awkward in its compostition, but has done little to temper my expectations. I only hope they have an interesting story and try not to fall back upon the series' tropes (there are only so many times I can be surprised by a deceptive agent).

So will he be the guy in charge who repeatedly refuses to listen to Jack Bauer, then does so for a little bit, but then later on refuses to listen to or agree with Jack again and eventually issues an order to have him arrested?

You know it.

"Listen Jack, I don't care if you saved 3 presidents, stopped 5 world wars from happening and saved the lives of at least 50,000,000 people over the years. We're NOT arresting that man!"

Jack: Damn it! *calls Chloe* whathisface isn't thinking clearly I know if we don't arrest this guy and interrogate him he will go underground and we will lose any chance of finding these terrorists! I need you to hack into MI6's database and get me the location on this guy.

Chloe: Jack! If I do this I'll be violating all sorts of international laws and we finally just landed the trust of whathisface do you really wanna break all that to get this guy? Plus, it's going to be really difficult going around these guy's backs, they already look at me suspiciously.

Jack: Damn it Chloe! How long have you known me?! You know I would only be asking if I thought it was absolutely necessary. Please do this for me.

Chloe: I didn't say I wouldn't do it Jack, I just said it would be difficult. I'll do it for you.

Jack: Thank you Chloe, I owe you more than one.

Chloe: I know, I'm keeping a score card.

So this is a different clone then if it takes place in 2014. Plasma Snake.

With all the time skips between seasons it must be already 2019-2020 in the series, so it should take place during Rising 2 at least lol

I know the producers always say it takes place in the present day, but the technology has always been a bit ahead of its time, especially in the last season with the drones and all that stuff (still no Gekkos though)

I remember in Season 4 or 5, they started having people watching television/news reports on their phones. Back then, that seemed more like a way to product placement the phone and the fox channel at the same time, and was not-realistic. Now, that actually happens.

funniest example of technology is the PDA used in the Season 2 Jack Wallace shootout. It's got a screen like a game boy pocket

and the whole "THEY'RE SHUTTING DOWN THE INTERNET!!" plot from S4 was hilarious. Superb, it'll get us all off GAF for a while!

Was wondering who Marci Michelle was, and then I searched

Bit part actress that's been in most of the seasons. Makes me hope for Aaron Pierce :D

Yvonne Strahovski as Kate Morgan — A brilliant but impulsive CIA field operative in London.

OMG my waifu. I knew this was coming back but I had no idea she was in it.
 
"Jack Bauer comes out of hiding in London to head off a massive terrorist attack while being hunted down by American forces dispatched by President James Heller."

So yeah, default 24 situation.

I'm predicting an inordinate amount of Audrey flashbacks in this new season.

I hope Jack will get a better romantic lead, considering his troubled history with women.

The old joke used to be that if everybody would just listen to Bauer the show would have to be renamed to 12. :D

One member suggested that we just have a thread for a single season.

We had that member banned from GAF and jailed in real life.

The appropriate sentence should have been "and tortured by Jack Bauer for information leading to the retrival of the nuclear device"

Do we even know what the plot is?

I don't think he's going to be spending hours going around a round-a-bout like Chevy Chase in European Vacation!

Well, we didn't want to be complicit in that poster's death/egregious injury...

So, we just looked the other way...
