I still wake up every day in disbelief that my favorite show ever is back from the dead.
This is still one of my favorite 24 moments of all time
My personal opinion is that being able to film on location gives the show a huge boost in quality. I know they filmed some pieces of season 7 in D.C. on location, and I felt it really helped give the show some fresh life.
Season 8 I don't believe had any of the main cast film in New York which I felt made it look very little like New York and was a step back in film quality from season 7.
Of course this may just be in my head. I'm just really excited for the new setting.
Waiting for that moment where Heller goes "I will not be used as a pawn, Jack" and drives his Presidential limo off a cliff. And survives. Because Devane fucking rocks.

They did have a few scenes of Jack on the streets of NY but not a lot.
Oh that's cool, I didn't know he had even gone to New York for filming.

Looks to be the best 24 ever was.
They only filmed a commercial in New York, the entire season was shot in LA with the help of green screen / CG. There's a video of (some of) the visual effects stuff here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLVXWVCekJk
Glad they are actually shooting on location this time.

I think they are referring to what 24's Facebook page posted:
I think the Fox Youtube channel just jumped the gun and posted this video too early.

I watched that 30 second promo probably 90 times at this point. I cannot wait for this season.

...dammit!
I just completed my marathon of all eight seasons for the first time. Those last few hours of season eight were awesome. Can't wait for this! Glad to hear they're moving to a twelve episode format too. Some of those filler plots.. especially in the early seasons.. god almighty, it took some willpower to keep watching those.
you should really go back and watch the seasons from the start, just jump the season 6 and most of season 8 and you'll be fine...
Watch them from the start. Just bear this in mind:
- Season 1 is a slow burner. Also, Season 1 Jack is not the same as the Jack we see after - and Season 1 is the reason why.
- Season 2 is FUCKING INTENSE...with fucking stupid side-plots
- Season 3 is slow, but then picks up like a jet engine halfway through
- Season 4 is all over the place. Chaotic.
- Season 5 is the pinnacle of 24 and pretty much the best thing ever
- Season 6 is shit.
- Season 7 is a return to form with a fucking badass first half and a slightly slower second half
- Season 8 is S6 levels of shit until episode 16 or so where it suddenly turns into the most amazing thing you'll ever see
this, although IMO start of s8 was not as bad as s6

nice this starts on my b-day 
what a nice present
what a nice presentSeason 6 episode 1 to 4 are amazing
Yeah, openings of every season in the second half of the show's life were great. 4 episodes in two days, filled with great action and tension.

Mine, too. In fact, that entire episode was just Jack being a badass. Up until then, Jack breaking that guys neck by running across a wall was my favorite.
During Episode 3 of 24: Live Another Day, an EMP attack renders phones and computers unusable. Jack Bauer is forced to communicate via Royal Mail:
Chloe then is seen receiving his letter, which contains his true feelings for her, conveyed in words:
Bauer is then seen watching from around the corner, happy that Chloe may well be up for a date:
hope you guys dont mind these spoilers

guys you are forgetting the born of Jack Bauer (badass) moment...Hacksaw moment
War Peaceman
You're a big guy.
I never liked that moment, it always felt slightly out of place. In hindsight it is perfectly natural but it struck me as tonally odd.
Not at all, IMO. He'd lost Terri and technically Kim too, spent a year with a death wish, depressed, got a sudden call from the fucking President stating he needed to go into CTU, discovered a nuke was going off within the day, and knew that the only way to get to Wald was to gain his trust.
I mean, he could have taken the whole body...but really, I dunno.
it's not odd at all, is the moment jack just say f*ck the rules and the Bauer we really know was born
yep. throughout Season 1, Bauer played by the rules.
Season 2 was when it hit that maybe he was just a little bit psycho
and through all season 2 that subject is brought many times, especially when Jack meet Wallace and he say it was a shame Jack never join Coral Snakes, because he was natural born killer. You can see in that seem to upset him a little, but it's true he rarely express any remorse about the hundreds of people he killed...
LOL, not at all. Nice.

Ive only seen seasons 1,2,3 and 7 (actually watched season 7 first due to roommate who loved the show). Watched 1 again last week and going through season 2 right now again.
Hoping this new season really does cut out all that bullshit filler lol

I kinda want to go through the seasons in order. Halfway through with 2. I might skip 3 since I remember it fairly we'll enough and go to 4.
If he's communicating via Royal Mail this season could end up being about 10 days long.
