Urrgh, got so sick of the show back in the day...thought I'd be able to jump back in. Why's Kate acting like Jack ain't her dad? Is that not Elisha Cuthbert?

edit: Hmm I guess that was Kim Bauer. And that is not Elisha Cuthbert.

Way too much Yvonne whatsername. I absolutely detested her on Dexter. More Michael Wincott, please, even if his character name sounds like a stage musician's.

Chloe fucking up all over the place. How you gonna get caught twice in one episode and then not anticipate a virus/auto delete on the usb stick. She best step it up for the rest of the series.

It really was. Knew she was up to something from the moment she was introduced. 24 gonna 24.

I'm kind of amazed how sympathetic I am toward the framed pilot of the drone.

I forgot how long a week used to feel. Man this sucks.

No, it's not... lol

I don't think you really need to know what has happened before. Jack is right about something but people get in his way because of petty reasons or PROTOCOL. Misunderstandings abound while Jack yells DAMNIT. lol

Great couple of episodes. So good to have this show back for a couple of months.

Let's face it, we only watch for Jack, everyone else is merely one step away from getting choked

Sounds like 24. I thought that lady was his daughter but there was some kind of rift between them and she had become some kind of special agent but nobody was mentioning it. With that confusion out of the way I'll just sit back and zone out.

She did become an agent at some point, but she's basically off married (with kids now) somewhere.
It's just a different blonde actress playing a different character.

Everything you need to know they catch you up on. Bauer is a fugitive and no one trusts his judgement even though you know he's right!

Well, if the stopped at season 4, he's not aware of what happened between Jack/Audrey/President Heller.

I kinda like seeing Heller again. Wonder if any other of the older characters will get screen time.

Loved the first two episodes. I seriously missed this show so much. Long live Jack!

I'm genuinely curious to know what happened to the previous Presidents, but I don't know if they'd just show up for the sake of showing up.

Heller just looking sad all episode was kinda crushing.
Good to see Audrey's new husband is a scheming dick, will be satisfying to see him blown up by a drone.
A good damnit! to end the episode.
Fake CTU blown up.

Jack is back baby!

It's a safe bet that Allison Taylor is the only who isn't dead or physically incapacitated.

Except for President Taylor and Noah Daniels, I don't think there are any left alive.

Ah yeah, forgot about him for a sec.

Hah, I suppose that's true. That said, I wonder if Taylor was forced to resign and so on.

That's one of my biggest questions, next to the Russian President. I mean when a nation's leader is "sent to prison", where is that? Assuming that's what happened?

Also, with Nate asking about reaching out to the Russians. I'm calling it Jack's going to end up in a container on a train to Moscow. "Did you think we would just forget"?

Jack Bauer Status: Badass.

Good to see him back, and now for the painful weekly waits. The great thing about not doing the full 24 is keeping the padding and time killer side stories at bay, just pure concentrated adrenalin Bauer hour. Man, such a fantastic start.

Assuming that this is really the last hurrah, I hope they don't ship him off somewhere. Besides, he already got tortured by the Chinese few a couple of years. lol

Wow, this was a great episode. These 2 episodes already seem much higher in quality to me than season 8.

They felt more like classic 24 than S8 did, I thought. It looks AND sounds great, too. Sean Callery putting in work, as always.

lol, agreed. What I think we all want, if this turns out to be the end, is some real closure. I can live with that.

Also, just started re-watching season 1 with my wife (she only started with Redemption) and immediately saw Teri Bauer on the list of Jack's Deceased profile. :( I was working so hard to keep that a secret from her.

Also, dumb question. Do drones actually look like mini stealth fighters? Of course I'm questioning authenticity on a show that had a stealth fighter fire a missile once, but I'm curious.

You could always trick her by showing the alternate ending to season 1. lol

And it looks like those are drones that are actually in testing right now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_X-47B
I guess that makes sense since 24 takes place in the "future".

I really hope there isn't a mole in the CTU/CIA/government this time around. That's one 24 thrope that should stay buried.

I have to also comment that I'm really pleased Jack's motivation wasn't just to protect the country, but as a personal debt owed to Audrey from season 6. I'm excited to see how that is explored.

I wonder if Dexter's girlfriend will turn into She-Tony, she's pretty lame so far.

I think there may be more to lieutenant Palmer Jr. That or his pilot buddy.

Catelyn and Sansa Stark running shit was pretty awesome. They'll probably end up killing Pres Heller, or worse, Audrey. At least we'll get some good Bauer moments out of that.

Always love 24 premieres. Now let's see if the rest of the season can hold up....
