As I slowly try to compile a mega list of links to GAF-24 topics, came across a topic in 2006, where early word was that the upcoming 24 movie was to be filmed in London ;P

Awesome. I've been digging through old posts too, found some comedy gold (at least to me!):

Dear 24 staff:

Thank you for not starting this season with a

Wish the previous forum was archived somewhere!

EDIT: WHOA, that was weird. Had no idea that post was incoming, Lonestar! My wish was kinda granted!

Check the bottom of my post. Got a few episodes from season 3 (hey, I'm there too. It's been 10 years...)

 

[metsallica]

I did! I totally forgot I had that awful ::lurk lurk lurk:: tag; I used to sign my posts that way, it drove people CRAZY. Which was the only reason I did it!

 

[Lonestar]

heh, you sure did. Hello fellow old-timer!

You still have that avatar :lol

Debated a few weeks ago to track down my old one, when 24 was announced to be back:

But I liked the newer image I'm using.



Still think this is the only time Jack's dropped an actual curse. The season 4 DVD prequel

life has gotten too real.

Even Ron Howard is hyped.

Even Ron Howard is hyped.

Of course he is, he's directly involved. Well, Imagine Entertainment is.

 

[Lonestar]

We need some sort of Cinco De Bauer image up in here.

There we go.

He's well ahead of us at this point, today.

From the "24" Facebook page:

Will we hear it tonight?!

 

[Horseress]

"Dammit" drinking game tonight?

count on it

"Dammit" drinking game tonight?

Bauer Power Hour is back.

 

[Newlove]

I swear this was supposed to be a 2 hour premiere. Maybe I'm going mad.

It still is... isn't it?

 

[Newlove]

Well the IGN review was only for the first hour, so I just assumed that was what we were getting tonight.

 

[Edag Plata]

It is. Where are you?

 

[Horseress]

2 hour premiere

 

[Rogue Agent]

Wow, I had no idea that this would air so early!

 

[notjackbauer]

Pumped for my username to be relevant again, if only for 12 hours.

 

[SargerusBR]

6 hours left?

 

[Rogue Agent]

Isn't it on now?

 

[L00P]

2 hour premiere

does that count as two epsiodes?

 

[chickdigger802]

real curious if the quality of the action is upped a bit. 24 was good for its time, but i feel like action in tv have really stepped up its game the past few years with arrow, PoI, etc.


btw: how does fox shows usually work, are they on hulu or their own site the day after, or should i get a itunes season sub?

 

[Grimsen]

Isn't it on now?

I guess it may depend on where you live? Where are you? What channel is it on?

In North America it's 8PM EST/7 Central

[Lonestar]

Having this 12 episode season, means that 24 joins the list of 200+ episodes Hour Long Drama's, as it moves past the X-Files, Walker Texas Ranger and Little House on the Prairie. Still behind 20-30 other shows (more if you get into Soap Opera's, Comedies, etc)

Oh good point. I'm from the UK. Not sure if it airs earlier there. Not sure what channel.

 

[Horseress]

Pretty sure it does, and it starts in ~4 hours EST

 

[Ben Morales]

Man I am loving the FB page. I'm getting hyped!

 

[Graphics Horse]

Oh good point. I'm from the UK. Not sure if it airs earlier there. Not sure what channel.

It's on at 1am on Sky One, simultaneous with the US broadcast, then it'll be shown at a more normal time on Wednesday evening. And I don't have Sky, dammit.

 

[Coach]

Looking forward to this. Just a few more hours...

 

[Arkos]

People, be careful talking about "something big happening in a matter of hours." Jack Bauer is out and about

Oh really? Dammit Looks like tvcountdown.com got it wrong then, I always trusted that website.

I can't get into season 8. I've tried so many times. I'm just going to have to assume that I won't need any knowledge of season 8 going into this.

 

[dLMN8R]

Is that recap thing from last night worth watching?

 

[Tugatrix]

Just need to know that Jack impaled a

[Edag Plata]

A year ago the thought of this happening was a fantasy. In 3.5 hours it's going to be like being in high school again.

Perhaps I should try harder to get into season 8

 

[DieH@rd]

So close.

The bad thing is I will be able to watch it in some 15-16 hours. T_T

 

[Edag Plata]

Perhaps I should try harder to get into season 8

Yeah, definitely muscle through it for the last 8-10 episodes.

 

[Arkos]

So pop quiz hotshot:

Will Jack kill anybody tonight?
If so, how many?

Will Jack torture anybody tonight?
If so, how many?

optional:

Will Jack cast a longing gaze at Audrey?
If so, how many?

 

[Ben Morales]

Season 8 can drag at certain parts. And the subplot with Dana is pretty annoying at first (it quickly becomes entertaining though if you embrace its absurdity), but there are so many cool moments. It's totally worth it!

I'll go with:
3
no
won't see

 

[Tugatrix]

Yes, three mates

No, but he will threaten someone

Not yet maybe by ep 3

 

[Arkos]

3

Hmm. I like those. I'll go with

5 (counting on a terrorist attack for this one)
depending on your definition, 1 (and this one as well)
2 (and this could also be him seeing her on tv, ehhh?)

 

[Lonestar]

Just to put in perspective:
Jack Kills in the 1st hour of the "days"
season 1 - 0
season 2 - 1 (Did he say Hacksaw?)
season 3 - 0
season 4 - 0
season 5 - 4 (You're Welcome, David)
season 6 - 1 (TEETH)
season 7 - 1 (Not-Tony guy)
season 8 - 2 (Yep, that's 2 alright)

So, I feel good on 3, but wonder if that counts just the 1st hour, or the 2 as one.

 

[Arkos]

Damn bringing the stats. I also wonder if they count the first 2 hours or not though. Also, remember he has to do twice as much killing because he has only half the time. Edit: for myself I'm talking about the entire 2 hours tonight

 

[Lonestar]

looking back at the stats, nothing would change if assumed those were 2 hour premiers. Some seasons it was 3-5 episodes in before killing, 1st season he didn't kill till the 2nd episode (24 wasn't an "event" like it ended up being), and the rest had more Jack Attack in hour 3 or later.



Question: Would the Jack/Audrey gaze be "in person" or "Jack looking at a TV screen with Audrey on it"?

 

[Arkos]

So extrapolating from that we should start going crazy in the second hour tonight

 

[legend166]

How long will it take for the episode to go up on Hulu? They aren't starting it on Australian TV until next Monday and I don't want to wait that long.

Anyone?
