The Jack Bauer Power Hour thread is now open for business

[JackBauerisreadyforDay8]

Seeing as how we only have a few weeks to wait now!
I have Season 7 synopsis here it's only a short recap of episodes but it was enough to remind me of a few things I had forgotten!

Namely Tony being 'good' all along and wanting revenge for (pregnant) Michelle, and Renee going into the interogation room with a very 'Jack' expression on to 'ersuade' Wilson to confess. Oh, and in the dull presidential bits that's skanky moo daughter getting in the shit for ordering a hit. (hey, that rhymes!)
So, anyone know when it is starting on Sky? In US I think it's the 17th so we would normally get it on the 24th and 25th but can't find listings!

Or got septacaemnia from a bullet wound?

*septacaemia

Goodness - did I really type the words 'Jack-Lady'? I blame the wine.

I said to DH that 12 year old might as well have been wearing a red shirt (star trek). He must have survived for a reason.

I wonder if they will blow up New York... they did with LA didn't they? Well that was chemical, and this is nuclear.

Does anyone else remember reading that they had written this series so JB could leave after 8 episodes (incase Kiefer went to jail for punching that bloke) Maybe softer storyline was incase someone had to take over and just couldn't do the job the way Jack does?
:: sockmonkey clutches at straws desperately ::

at 'Can you imagine if Jack survived all this and then suddenly died by, erm, choking on a sandwich or something?'

Ooooooooooh

What kind of parole officer calls at 2.30am even just to leave a message? Still wondering where all that is going.

I am liking Hasan's daughter story line. Oooh hope she gets to kick some butt.

Although I'm sorry but I just want to slap Dana she is such a bloody crap actress, at least if I slapped her she would have a new facial expression than that bloody stupid bewildered look she has!!!!

I fell asleep in the last ten minutes of last night's episode - I have NEVER done that in any other series - so I think that may mean that I give up on it - it's SO lame this season.

I am watching Damages (and Lost) religiously though!

Damages is so much more superior.

Ive just watched this week and, what happened to ending an episode on a cliffhanger so that you were left gagging for the next one? thats twice in a row now its just ended. Now Im only going to watch it because I have to know the ending.

On a different note, I keep seeing Buffy's rl husband in the credits, which character is he?

Buffy's husband is Cole.

OK it's official I now hate Jack.

That scene when he tells poor Marcos that he'll personally make sure his mother gets radiation poisoning was loathsome.
I get why he was doing it etc but for some reason I found it unbearable to watch. It was just so.... mean.

I can't bear him anymore. The sad thing is that he can't die in this last season ever because they want to make a 24 movie- they obviously need Jack for that.

To be fair to Jack, he's done and said some much worse things. Thats the point of him, I think!!! and, thats what Ive been missing. I just feel like it lost its way 3 seasons ago and Im just seeing it through now.

Cole is good looking.

I know he's done worse things but for some reason this particular scene was just so cold. Maybe it was because in a really boring cliched season I felt Marcos was the only character so far that had some emotional resonance. I was really moved by him.

To me 24 lost its way in season 4 with horrid horsey Audrey....
I'm probably the only person in the world who actually liked Jack and Kate Warner as a couple. And Kim and Chase...

What happened to Audrey?

Kim and Chase?! hating Jack?

I quite enjoyed this episode, although that other CTU guy is still alive (and the way they pronounced Marcose irritated me)

IIRC Audrey was ina coma after being taken byt eh Chinese to get at Jack, Hillier told him to fuck off and never come back and she is not right in the head now.

Did like the tiny bit of a nod towards reality with them getting a small bollocking. Still not quite right though, and yes WTF is the parole officer doing? And how does he have phone record getting powers?

We thought the parole officer bit wasn't realistic. We are still waiting for Jack to be brought into custody and escape at the vital moment to save the day. Surely that always happens on 24.

Fingers crossed.

Right.

I've watched the first eleven eps over the weekend and am... a little bit bored

Congrats Sockmonkey

Thanks to whoever pointed out that baddie was Tooms from X-files, it was annoying me!

Re; House/Jack Bauer impression - very very funny. This season of House is hilarious and keeps getting better.

Am undecided whether to namechange for this season or not. I can't take Freddie Prinze Jnr seriously.

Well Zain from the Bill is the one with Kayla. Forgotten the characters name now...

The Russian guys so - the one with the necklace he was Adam in Heroes.

but, it was better tonight or, am I just clutching at straws?

Ok, I've just watched ep12 and I take it all back

Oh now we are getting somewhere!

WTF didn't Dana tell that parole guy to fuck off. If this was really something she knew nothing about she would say 'Sorry, but national security takes priority over 2 guys robbing somewhere. Come back in the morning. You twat.'

Much better episode last night - I think that I may give the series a reprieve!!

I reckon the probabtion officer is probably deaded.

Well even if he's not that story is a non starter now, oh dear, everything has been wiped, shame!
