24 is back...sign in here for the Jack Bauer Power Hour

[ChirpyGirl]

well, 2 hours on the 12th but you get the idea!

Am going to have to think up a new 24 name....and will need to recap last season and Redemption before monday but thought I would be first in with a thread.

surely greater good would involve NOT choking Larry? He didn't even shoot the bad guy guarding the missiles in the leg but he cold bloodedly suffocates Larry?!

Am devastated.

Oh I;d love an evil twin story! Sunset beach meets 24!

The gaps between seasons (in 24 land) have been 18 months, 3 years, 18 months, 18 months, 20 months, 3 and a half years (to 24:redemption) I don't knwo the gap between that and season 7.
So that's um... (have been making notes here to work it out!) nearly 13 years. Jack is supposed to be 43 and Kim is 22

Oh Jack I really am starting to think I'm you, your me ..... whatever........... I loved Sunset Beach sad I know must have been the corniest show on earth I loved the way you could hear the high heels on the vinyl

Who dosen't love abit of mad gem stones, shagging a priest when your engaged to his brother, pregnant by your daughters husband action

I was at Uni when it was on and we used to wait until the saturday omnibus and cosy down with some wine before getting ready to go out!

Ooh, and Ben vs Jack would be good.....

Oh yes Saturday omnibus prechildren, any wonder I never got any studying or housework done!

Hang on... when is Jack meant to be 43 and Kim 22??!! If we've covered 13 years, I can't quite figure that one out!!

Kim would have to be more like 29 surely she was 16 in the first episode?

Jack must be older than 43, or he was a young daddy! ((Plum wants to make a joke about the wee boy who was supposed to be a dad but his name escapes her [thunk]))

the boy with only one hand?

I think jack is older than 43. He started out about 40 and is now over 50?

apparently jack was 36 in season 1, so he had kim at 20, and is now about 49ish??

here we go, apparently about 52!

Oh that's ridiculous.

I am refusing to even get involved in this. I am going to treat Jack like James Bond and just take it as it is.

Do not confuse me Plum, Audrey and Jack

being jack bauer, i'm pretty sure he's developed the ability to travel in time.

good point.

Don't want to criticise Jack in any way, but he is definitely looking older this season. Though the experiences in China must have taken their toll on his looks!

Maybe Kim has been given the funny hairdo to make her look a bit older than she really is? As more 24 years have passed than RL years I mean.

i thought that too, he just looks like a broken man, aged not so much in years, but in just having an ever so rubbish life.

Jack was born in feb 66 and Kim in 87 according to the 24 backstory, that's where I got it from.
but...um...how can I put this...
(Spoiler alert)

It aint real!

So when it started jack was 34-5 and Kim was 15ish but as they have gone on they have added more time in between season than there was in RL, hence them being 'wrong' age
But anyway, there were 13 years between season 1 and season 7 so Jack would be 47-8 now and Kim 28. So in Season 8, after another 4 years (that's teh next season audrey) he woudl be 51-52 and Kim 32.

Okay?

but that article was written in 2008, hence they are talking about this season (and that chloe has a 4 year old son). ah, i'm so confused. damned coma.

Hm, well in that case I don;t know where they are getting their info on as I got all the gaps from the 24 offical book

But actually, thinking about it makes my head hurt!

yeah i'm giving up, as my head is hurting too. i'll take your word if it's from the official 24 book!

If this were Doctor Who, they would explain it as "Wibbly wobbly timey wimey"

Pres Taylor... maybe RL woes have added to Keifers aging. Didn't he spend some time in jail for drink driving during a break in filming?

Just touching base as over the weekend this thread might fall off my "threads I'm on" and that would be a disaster on Monday when we're all eagerly waiting an update on Tony's evilness.

Sockmonkey - I seem to remember the judge allowed him to serve his sentence during the break in filming they had to take when the writers strike was on. Must have been a 24 fan and didn't want the next series to be any more delayed than it needed to be
