Sure she is.

So she is.

Smooth Bauer serving himself as a trojan horse to get to a prisoner

In terms of Image quality it's different, is more BBCish the colour pallet is more balance to cool colours and with less contrast

 

[mrklaw]

I think I've only seen the last two seasons. Is it worth catching up properly, or should I just watch the recaps from IGN?

I'd catch up properly, you'll be missing out on so much just watching the IGN videos.

So you miss the best of 24? Man go watch it all properly

Don't watch the recaps.

24:Live Another Day will reference very little of 24 other than Jack Bauer's actions at the end of season 8 (pissed off the government) and how the fallout affected Chloe. You'll also find out that Heller and Audrey survive what happened previously (obviously). Everything else will be unspoiled.

Watch 24:LAD, and if you like it, watch 24 in order. AVOID ALL SPOILERS.

When you get to Season 5 and THAT MOMENT happens, you'll be glad you followed my advice.

It's a lot better and looks far more high budget than before. It's going to be the best looking 24 yet for sure.

edit:

Here's another short clip, but it's only available to those in the USA or through a VPN

http://www.24spoilers.com/2014/05/01/24-live-another-day-sneak-peek-jack-chloe/

It's...fucking bizarre seeing 24 action on a typical UK street. I'm all confused.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Very disheartening to hear Kiefer last on Letterman to say this is a one-off deal. I could've sworn awhile back that if this new season became a hit, there could be more seasons.

That's exactly what Mary Lynn Rajskub said yesterday in a similar interview. It's also what Howard Gordon said recently too.

Fact of the matter is, it could go either way - Kiefer's just being cautious I guess. It really depends on ratings.

Also as the star of the series it's a smart move not to outwardly commit to future seasons in this situation. It gives him more leverage to negotiate If the ratings are strong enough to warrant more 24.

yeah

fact is - look at what they said in 2010...and here we are

 

[Lyonaz]

What this soon on monday?!

I still need to marathon the 24 series. Oh well, good times ahead atleast.

Like I said before, 24: LAD likely won't reference previous seasons a huge deal. It's largely a stand-alone thing. Watch it first, avoid ALL spoilers for 1-8, then watch them.

Yeah that's what I'm planning to do.

 

[Tugatrix]

I was kind of hoping that if LAD was successful they could resurrect the show for a few more seasons but only if the quality justifies it, I don't want 24 to become a CSI that runs forever with mediocre quality

AHhhH! On season 4 right now. I think I;m just going to wait till I am fully caught up before watching the new ones. Then I can binge watch those too haha.

TV.com: 24's Top 12 Villains

The top three I can agree with, the rest not so much (Alan Wilson above Mandy, come on)

Marwan should be put in the bottom of that list

Milo look younger

Alan Wilson 4? Hell no and Nina first? Logan should have been first

 

[Servbot24]

4. Mandy
3. Henderson
2. Logan
1. Nina

 

[metsallica]

Mandy's still in play, too... Do they dare? Would anyone care or remember?

 

[Rogue Agent]

They should, before she gets too old

 

[Vally]

Season 7 had some awesome villains, Dubaku or Jonas Hodges should've been on that list instead of Alan Wilson

Mandy's still in play, too... Do they dare? Would anyone care or remember?

When she appeared in Season 4 I didn't even remember her, until Aaron Pierce pointed out that she was the one who attacked Palmer at the end of S2... her returning would be great but I'm not holding out much hope

 

[Lonestar]

The blurb about Logan's potential to return...

I mean, he was only technically alive. They'll have to pull some MGS4 Shenanigans to have a Logan Return.

 

[Rich!]

Mandy is a win-win for the 24 crew. She would bring some decent conflict to the plot due to her history, and the fans love her.

The blurb about Logan's potential to return...

I mean, he was only technically alive. They'll have to pull some MGSV Shenanigans to have a Logan Return.

3 days left!!!!! Also, slight spoiler about the intro:

Spoiler

the standard 24 intro is in, along with sutherland's "the following takes place...." and "events occur in real time"

 

[eliza0224]

I can't fucking wait. It's been hard not to see any trailers! Sadly it premieres on Tuesday for Latin America, so we gotta wait an extra day on this side of the world

How do you know? Do you have the ep? WHERE IS IT DAMN IT?

 

[Cornballer]

- Tim Goodman's review for THR:

The action-packed but still mostly brainless thriller is back, with Jack Bauer, and as long as the series has no pretension to greatness, it's a lot of fun.

 

[Vally]

The Huffington Post review has another little detail about the intro (not a big deal but I wish I hadn't spoiled myself about it)

Spoiler

"The following takes place between 11:06 a.m. and 12:00 p.m."

Seems there's going to be a 5 minutes cold open

 

[Tookay]

- Tim Goodman's review for THR:

Jesus. Could that review be any more snobbish?

 

[Rich!]

How do you know? Do you have the ep? WHERE IS IT DAMN IT?

spoiler:

Spoiler

first five minutes is a cold open without Bauer. Bauer doesn't speak until 30 minutes in

 

[Graphics Horse]

What will be his first word?

goddammit i miss that intro.

Yep, I think I've outgrown this show.

 

[vatstep]

Holy crap: I know that this show has had tons of minor appearances by actors/actresses who later went on to bigger roles, but I had no idea Nick Offerman was one of the racist thugs in S2, haha.

So i just finished watching Pompeii...

It was really hard to watch this movie, every time Kiefer is in scene i was expecting him to yell "Damn it!" and proceed to kill everyone on screen with his pistol

 

[Mobius 1]

Holy shit Jack Bauer Naked Snake is back! Sign me up

 

[akachan ningen]

Dammit, thread title!

So hyped for this! Finally I can love Mondays again.
