24 reboot will be a 'total reset' with new characters, no Jack Bauer

I thought Keifer was all in for more 24, and they practically set up another season with the end of Live Another Day and that special Tony scene on the bluray.
 
Drop the Jack Bauer, skip the James Bond, pass the Jason Bourne, and go in an entirely new direction with bold choice for JB: Jack Burton.

I hope they keep the main character as a nearly one man(woman) army. If I wanted to watch something more serious I'd watch the first season of Homeland. Just the first, the rest turned the series into a mess.

I think he wanted A LOT more money for another go, and Fox is willing to bet we'll still watch a Jack-less 24. Even if ratings drop they can still make a profit with cheaper actors

Or you could watch the first few seasons of 24
 
The format is unique and strong enough to get me a little optimistic about a new start acknowledging Bauer's existence. They need to think real hard about who could retain Kiefer's pure badassery and screen presence.
 
Please no. They've used so many stories that work perfectly for 24 that they started to repeat themselves. Having new characters will not change that.

Jack Bauer is 24 to me :(
 
Would rather they maybe work off Yvonne Strahovski's character last season as she can definitely pull off the role. I would rather they just keep continuity with the current seasons rather than a hard reboot with no chance for the older Bauer + friends to make cameos or returns.

24 without Bauer = a no go for me.
If they're gonna go with a new character for the reboot, it'd better be a very good character who can deliver the same awesomeness as Kiefer did. I don't think any other character can remotely come close to that, but the only name that pops up is Kate Morgan.
