I'm currently re-watching S7 (exactly halfway through), for the first time since it originally aired. I recall lots of press about how this was the first season where they mapped out the full 24 episodes in advance, since they had an extra year due to the writer's strike of 2007. I guess I'll see if that rings true once I'm done watching it; I remember so little of it that it feels new, almost.

I think 24 episodes of an hour-long drama is too many, regardless of storytelling style. 10-15 seems to be more the norm these days, and feels just right when watching week-to-week.

Super Bowl is on fox this year. Man, I really hope we get a teaser

 

[Kvik]

entire series is on Netflix, with seasons 7 and 8 in HD if that's any help

Oh sweet! Time to re-sub then. Also House of Cards is on next month. Into the queue it goes.

 

[SargerusBR]

WTF happened to you Chloe?

 

[Wiktor]

why the hell are they only doing 12 episodes? they're gonna regret it when they see how hungry people are for more 24.

If people will prove to be hungry I expect we'll see another 12 eps next year and then the one after that.

 

[Tesseract]

WTF happened to you Chloe?

she got hotter. goth look rocks.

 

[strafer]

dat Kiefer bald spot doe

 

[JordanKZ]

dat Kiefer bald spot doe

He lasted longer than I did.

I'm guessing Chloe is undercover maybe? Her character is now in her early 40's and becoming a goth would be an odd move...

 

[Ceebs]

she got hotter. goth look rocks.

Not just the goth look though. She looked amazing in S4 of Arrested Development too.

 

[TrekMonster7]

So, who is the mole this time? Who is really behind the initial terrorist threat? I really hope it isn't as boring and predictable as every season post 1

 

[gribbles]

Why is there still no trailer yet

 

[Edag Plata]

Why is there still no trailer yet

Because they haven't started shooting yet?

Chloe is the mole this time.

Yvonne Strahovski, no doubt.

So hot.

 

[gribbles]

Too bad she still has a butch face.

This new girl I've been partnered with at work is the spitting image of Nina Myers

Should I pre-emptively take her out?

She should be helpful and on your side for at least half a year, until your bosses decide fuck it let's throw in a second mole for the hell of it.

That's some great casting right there, awesome addition. Always loved his guest appearances on Bones (which may be a strange thing to enjoy given the man's output, but I feel like that role went way under the radar!).

Oh my fucking god, I never would have expected this.

Woah. God tier casting.


Edit: wait, he's the fucking prime minister? Haha oh man. Have Hugh Laurie as his Deputy.

Out to dinner you mean right? Do it!


Also holy crap at Stephen Fry casting.

 

[RS4-]

Hugh Laurie should be the villain

 

[Vally]

Howard Gordon tweeted a picture of the script, the first episode takes place between 12 and 1 pm. And we already knew the second episode was 1-2 pm, so there won't be any time skips in the premiere.

I need to update the OP....


Will do so tomorrow. In process of moving at the moment.

 

[Tesseract]

[SJRB]

Hugh Laurie should be the villain

He would be amazing, no doubt. He could even pull off being a villian in a Bond movie.

 

[avaya]

Fuckin' A.

Fuckin' A.

Good lord the casting for this return is fantastic. Would love a cameo in one of the boxes of Hugh Laurie handing him a briefing paper or something (like John McCain in season...5?)

Spoiled about Heller as President?

SPOILER don't click unless you want to know who plays a role.

You're doing it wrong. To everyone else: that is a potential spoiler, albeit small

Edit: lol I got ya I just figured it was a throwaway comment rather than actual information vvv.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Heh, I just reviewed what I spoiler tagged and looked through the thread again and that information is openly discussed earlier in the thread.

 

[strafer]

So what do you think Jack whispered to Nina?

 

[Rich!]

So what do you think Jack whispered to Nina?

We know for a fact what Kiefer said. He said "how could you pick Xander over me?", referring to Xander Berkley (George Mason) who she was seeing at the time, and later married.

 

[Tugatrix]

So what do you think Jack whispered to Nina?

Spoiler

7. What did Jack whisper to Nina?

Okay, here it is. There are 2 answers to this question.
i) What Kiefer Sutherland actually said to Sarah Clarke to get that facial expression: "I love you, Sarah. Why did you marry Xander?" - This came out in the open at a 24 cast wrap do in LA after last year.
ii) What Jack 'said' to Nina: "I'm gonna hunt you down for the rest of your life." - From Kiefer Sutherland's lips to a fan in the LA area. I'm assuming this was actually the line that was written.

 

[strafer]

We do? I've never heard or read what he said.

Awesome anyway.

 

[Rich!]

Yeah lol. The post above has a more accurate reading of it, I went by memory. Kiefer basically told Sarah he loved her to get that shocked reaction.

Was a Season that really grow on me, it really feels a very solid season.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Wait, did he really mean it or was he joking? Was there an actual chemistry?

 

[strafer]

Nina being a bad guy reveal in season 1 is still one of the most shocking reveals on television.

My jaw was on the floor when I saw that.

They did good.

 

[Tugatrix]

Wait, did he really mean it or was he joking? Was there an actual chemistry?

Sarah Clarke(Nina) around season one filming married Xander(Mason), so Kiefer use that in his favor to record that scene, he didn't mean it was just to provoke surprise.

 

[Sean]

Wait, did he really mean it or was he joking? Was there an actual chemistry?

Nah they were both married at the time. Jack Bauer was supposed to whisper something in Nina's ear that made her scared, so Kiefer improvised that line to give the actress a genuine shock reaction.

I think Kiefer briefly dated Reiko Aylesworth (aka Michelle Dessler/Tony's wife) though.
