(I need to say this cause I'm out of practice as a 24 fan):

Why on earth do they always think Bauer is a threat and keep getting in his way? The man has personally saved the country from all sorts of perils on multiple occasions. They should be holding parades everytime he shows up.

The bureaucratic machine of the government is neither rational or sentimental. A guy starts going off book and breaking laws based on out of the box big picture thinking, people immediately insulate themselves to protect their careers and reputation. That's why it was so cool whenever Jack came across guys like Buchanan and David Palmer who thought like he did and understood fucked up things might need to happen in the short term to ultimately serve the greatest good.
 
OK, that was amazing, I am going to need SO MANY HACKSAWS... Plus I got my beeps in full effect!

ALSO!

Not sure if IGN is making these or simply uploading, but they have some solid season recaps for people wanting to get caught up without marathoning 194 episodes:

Season 1: http://www.ign.com/videos/2014/03/12/24-season-one-recap
Season 2: http://www.ign.com/videos/2014/03/19/24-season-two-recap
Season 3: http://www.ign.com/videos/2014/03/27/24-season-3-recap

One seems to hit each week or so leading to the premiere.

Nice one.

I barely made it through season 1 again recently so these will be a better trip down memory lane.

thanks

Maybe her new organization is the Stieg Larsson Fan Club.

I had no idea this show was coming. I wish I'd maintained that ignorance up until the first episode aired. Now the waiting will be excruciating.

Haha I didn't notice all the tattoos on Chloe. Jack also has a ton of tattoos on his right arm, not sure if all of those are real or some of them are made for the series.

24 and MGS combining their universes?

I laughed when he used his
'Don't fight it'
line in Ground Zeroes. Now we just need Jack to say 'Kept you waiting huh' in the first episode.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.

5 is an absolute must-see. If you can do both 4 & 5, that'd be ideal.

Kiefers tats, including the Salazar one in S3, are all real. I guess they got bored of hiding them.

Guess they needed someone for the audience to give a shit about the President being assassinated. Still, nice to see him again (even so his life is in danger...again).

Not just that, but there's immediate conflict and backstory between him and Bauer.
 
Confirmed returning characters:

Kiefer Sutherland - Jack Bauer
Mary Lynn Rajskub - Chloe O Brian
Kim Raver - Audrey Raines
William Devane - President James Heller

Confirmed new characters:

Stephen Fry as Sir Anthony Hogmanay Melche....wait, no I mean Trevor Davies — The British Prime Minister; a strong and charismatic leader whose friendship with President Heller comes under tremendous pressure because of personal and political crises.

Colin Salmon as General Coburn, an intelligent, powerful and fiercely loyal man who does not suffer fools no matter what rank.

Michael Wincott as Adrian — An 'infamous hacker', a charismatic hacker and a leader of the free information movement.

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

Tate Donovan as Mark Boudreau — White House Chief of Staff, also the husband of Audrey Raines.

Gbenga Akinnagbe as Erik Ritter — A strong, sharp, arrogant and ambitious CIA field operative.

Rumoured (but as good as confirmed) returning characters:

http://i.minus.com/j9wOCPSmbejJY.png SPOILER, but it's not a spoiler as it's damn obvious who's back again.

And with that, I know every single story beat.

He'll probably save the day at the last minute and say that line. Then Heller will say "Age hasn't slowed you down one bit."

He got that tattoo between 2 and 3, I think, and they wrote it in as a Salazar thing specifically so they wouldn't have to cover it. You've been able to see that one clearly since, like it's always on show in the first few hours of S5 where he has his sleeves rolled up, etc.

I'm going to be highly upset if Aaron Pierce isn't randomly vacationing in London on Day 9 of all days, when he gets wind of a threat against the President and decides to offer his services.

You like me, you really really like me!
Amazon Prime Instant Video is now the only subscription service where U.S. users can stream Fox hit 24, the company said Tuesday. The show is no longer available for streaming on Netflix as of April 1.

All eight seasons of 24 are on Prime now. Episodes of the upcoming 12-episodes series 24: Live Another Day will also appear on Prime “later this year.”

Whoa, I didn't know Amazon secured exclusive rights to stream 24. Damn, huge loss for Netflix :-(

Damn. Couldn't resist watching the new promo. God damn they are giving me exactly what I fucking want. A set up for off the rails getting shit done in the shadows Bauer. The best of every season condensed by removing all the bullshit plot points to fill 24 episodes. YES SIR

A few more 24 facts:

Tony Todd, who plays General Juma in S7, plays the chief detective in S3 who questions Palmer and Sherry.

The CTU agent that is assigned to escort Bauer and Nina to Faheen's safe house only to be drugged by Bauer in the van later appears in S3 as an agent assigned to the hotel incident. He dies.

The pose is a bit awkward, yeah. And Jack hardly ever dual wields guns (there's the shootout with the Drazens but I can't think of any other instance)

season two, against Wald men

My problem with the image is the oddness of the shoulders
