He was sent to jail at the end of S7 so of course he's still alive.

Just goes to show that silent clocks are meaningless. They misused them IMO
Weird how Curtis didn't get one, especially considering shortly after his death in the same episode a fucking nuke obliterates thousands of Americans.
Ehhh that nuke was nothing. Only a mere mile or so away just a few hours after that explosion, Aaron Pierce is shopping for groceries and people are playing tennis outside as if nothing had happened. Morris O Brien also finds out his local off licence is open for business as usual
No point having a silent clock for a non-event!
"Crazy day, yeah?" or something like that. Me and my friends always made fun of that shopkeeper for that. S2 handled the craziness of a nuke blowing up on US soil so much better, and that erupted in the middle of a barren desert with the only casualty being a an already dying man.
That and so much more it's why season 6 is so bad and should be erased or showed as an example of how not do it

I'm really impressed with this season so far.
Yvonne has been a great addition and the return of the Heller's has given Jack's actions a lot more weight. It was satisfying seeing him finally come face to face with them again.

I need to see bauer.....just once

I would be totally up for 24: Day 10 with FemBauer as the lead.
I will totally take a season of Yvonne Bauer <3
This coming from someone who could not stand Renee whatsoever and hated the idea of her being FemJack

Same here. As much as i like Jack, i think 24 could still be great without him. This shows format lends itself so well to action and creating a sense of urgency and forward momentum. As much as it is rooted in action formula and tropes, it still feels quite unique compared to other action series. I want more!

I like Kate Morgan but replace Jack? Not in a million.

At least see what happens with her for the rest of the season before writing her off. I think she has what it takes, but she's gotta have a strong arc.

It's beyond time for Jack to go home and be a family man. He should've gotten on that plane with Kim and her family in S8 and never looked back.
Too bad that even if the Heller administration absolves him of all of his S8 crimes (and the crimes he's committed so far in LAD, such as "grazing" protesters, blowing up the CIA station, breaking out Chloe, breaking into the embassy, shooting at the Marines), the Russians are still out for blood.
Watch Suvarov come abduct him at the end of the season on some Chinese in S5 shit.
Edit: Yuri should be in jail after the conspiracy was revealed in S8, his successor will go get Jack
Double Edit: According to the 24 Wikia, Suvarov (somehow) keeps his job as President for another seven years after S8. Which means he would still be in charge during LAD.

I haven't seen the episode since it aired but on the wiki it says that Taylor didn't sign the treaty and she was going to announce everything to the public. I'm guessing she never got the chance to and very few people know about what actually happened. Her, Jack, Chloe, Suvarov, Logan?
I think Kate sub-plot with her husband will comes into play later.
And it's totally going to be Kate all along who's committing treason.

Well that answers a question
Nice... so Bauer is Sheppard? (renegade version ofc)
Pretty much, I like the character but I'd be done with the show. Not interested in watching this without Kiefer

This show is as good as its ever been.
Looks like 24's premiere made a HUGE boost now that the DVR numbers are in.
"With the Live+7 numbers in for the May 5 premiere of the 12-episode run, Jack Bauer truly is back, to paraphrase Foxs social media tagline. The 2-hour debut of 24: LAD rose 42% from its Live+Same Day result of 2.6/8 to a 3.7/11 among Adults 18-49."
This is excellent to see. Apparently this is even higher than the season 8 premiere was. The world was indeed ready for more Jack.

I hope Naveed's "evidence" in the floorboards is a bomb.

Great news on those premiere ratings, but how has it done week-to-week? Fox hasn't been peeping much (though I haven't really been looking either!).

Started off indifferent to the season (more of the same), but things kicked off for me this last episode.
WTF is up with Sutherland in this though. The way Jack is written into this comes off just... well apathetic. Like he almost has nothing to do.
Chloe is still a silly character that undermines the drama but is only kept around for fans. Dont care for how they wrote out Milo and her child either.... that was some Alien3 level of poor taste.

I really wouldn't mind it if they switched the setting to Europe for now and made adjustments regarding the cast. If nothing else, these episodes have proven that 24 can be pulled off without Sutherland being in the forefront constantly.
Hard to comprehend how this series is not stale after so many seasons, I just keep eating it like no tomorrow..And I love fembauer
Just need that hair color mod for ME2
This season owns and is classic 24 in every way it needs to be. The scenes between Heller and Jack and Audrey and Jack were both amazing.
Ah yeah it's finally time.
EDIT - I will say though, the whole time they spent on looking through the flight key and the override command my programmer's brain kept screaming in rage while my 24 brain just started laughing maniacally.

The Jack and Audrey scene was... just sort of laughable. Fell flat.
Keller and Jack were great though.

Good episode.
Poor Naveed. I was rooting for the poor little guy. It was obvious his gal was going to betray him though. Expected that sooner.
And that Jack and Audrey scene
Jack: "I know your married now. Are you happy? Is he treating you right?!"
Audrey: "..."
Jack: *boner* YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE. THEY'RE SHOOTING AT US!!!
Poor Naveed.

Audrey just loves the craziness that Jack brings, a slimy prick like Mark will never live up to The Bauer. Loved their scenes and especially Heller talking with Jack, some great acting there.
Naveed getting capped was pretty likely, I do love how the music stopped when he was headshotted. Pretty brutal execution.

lol at no one caring that the flight key is magically at the cia station.

Theres lots of stuff like that. I dont get why they didn't scan that booby-trapped house for like heat signatures or atleast get visual confirmation that someone/something was inside.
Didn't Yvonne bring it there?
Thankfully I don't pay too much attention and miss these little plotholes, lol

She did. I think he was refering to why no one was wondering where the flight key went after they knew it was missing even after they captured Jack.
Scans like that are usually done from above. With all drones down what would have done it? Didn't take a helicopter, and they thought an attack was imminent (which was true) so they rushed in. I thought that was ok
Didn't care about the flight key stuff either. There was no proof Jack even had the flight key in the room so there was no reason to detain the CIA agent or think he gave it to anyone. And the fact the override hack stuff was true absolved them from any issues after she revealed having the key
Now the Hack hidden override codes and stuff... That's turn your brain off level shit right there
I'm curious if giving Chloe the backdoor into the CIA network will mean anything later
