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!

TBH, anyone could easily commit suicide with a wii thingy, Jack may not need to intervene, just observe the wii-off.

EssenceOfJack · 20/01/2010 07:46

at wii-off.

I am currently just hoping that DD2 will be sleeping again by sunday and her pox will be gone.

Watched Golden Globes with DH today, Keifer was handing out one of the awards. I half expected him to attack his co-presenter with the microphone to find out who had won.

Big question... could Jack "negotiate" this baby out?

essenceofSES · 20/01/2010 19:13

LOL at EssenceofJack
Wish I'd thought of that!

DS got bad nappy rash. Made me think...
Jack could kill with petroleum jelly. Just keep stuffing it down until the evil guy suffocates?!!

sockmonkey · 22/01/2010 07:54

Oooh, they have started the count-down on sky.
Bong-bing Bong-bing Bong-bing

DuffyMoon · 24/01/2010 09:45

do you need to have watched all the series to enjoy this? - I loved the first series but it then went to sky, which we didnt have at the time - this is the first time it has been on since we had sky....will I be able to get into it again?

PlumBumMum · 24/01/2010 10:29

I thinkyou will Duffy

YEY today is the day!!!!!!!!!!!

And its my birthday and I'm on my new laptop YeY

Jack the new Only Fool is called Rock & Chips it isbased on when el was a teenager, actually looks good!

EssenceOfJack · 24/01/2010 14:37

You should be okay Duffy.
All you need to know is CTU was disbanded for being a bit too into torture proactive and Jack was before a senate committe charged with war crimey type behaviour.
Then 6 weeks before this season Tony Almeida popped back up, (we thought he was dead) and was part of a plot to release a nerve gas on the US.
Jack was the only person infected and he was saved by a stem cell transplant from Kim (don't start me on the stem cell thing).

I think that should do you!

essenceofSES · 24/01/2010 15:46

PlumBumMum - Happy birthday!!!

Oh sorry PBM
Happy Birthday!

It was my mum's 60th yesterday, we have just had our 'pre season chat' on the phone
She is the one who got me addicted!

ceb80 · 24/01/2010 21:01

Hi can I join in? Beep Beep Beep Beep!

ohfuschia · 24/01/2010 21:01

woo hoo!

ToraFlora · 24/01/2010 21:44

Ahh, now I know where Teddy fron Nip/Tuck disappeared to, she got a job with CTU instead

ohfuschia · 24/01/2010 22:01

Sorry didn't get a chance to join properly before it started!

Have watched every season and had a 24 baby last year (Gabriel born Aug 1st), wasn't long after found out I was pregnant I was counting the weeks on the calendar to see how far 24 was going to take me to (desperately sad emoticon).

As it began this time, thought 'am I going to manage to get into this again' but have been suckered as usual.

Had to laugh when Jack said about little Teri being like Kim in knowing what she wanted since Kim never seemed to know her arse from her elbow...

ohhh double bill didn't realise...double woo hoo!

PlumBumMum · 24/01/2010 23:16

So what did we think?

What was with the very cheesy comentator?

Reckom Jack is going to give Renee a call to help him???

ohfuschia · 25/01/2010 00:15

Yep reckon so...at first I thought 'don't think I like this new CTU' but then realised that was the point.

Was feeling that the middle eastern president with the bouffant was definitely going to get it but maybe Jack will manage to sort it. Also wondered if this is going to be a short diversion before the 'main' action or if we're straight into it.

Oh dear, here we go again

(and DP still muttering about how he bets I'D like to debrief Jack)

sockmonkey · 25/01/2010 08:03

ohfuschia - Do you think Jack wears briefs? He's more of a boxers man I reckon. LOL

Classic line from Drone Geek "who is Jack Bauer?" He'll soon learn.

New CTU - lots of glass, when they went upstairs to office all I could think was "EDGAAAARRRR"

I reckon President Hassan's brother is having an affair with the wife. Did you see that look?

We missed the first 10 mins of the show... our TV decided to blow up (maybe it couldn't take the excitement) so we had to bring down the little portable from the DSs bedroom.

PlumBumMum · 25/01/2010 11:38

oh Sockmonkey I thought all of that too

hope the acting gets abit better thought they were all abit wooden

ohfuschia think it might be he short diversion

NOW How does somebody get a job in CTU when no-one knows your real identity???????????????

Sandy22 · 25/01/2010 12:15

I wasn't really impressed but suppose it is early days. CTU oh dear, and the new actors, can't remember the names but the blonde who has something going on her past has no acting ability whatsover neither has her boyfriend and not keen on the boss either. Yes, Jack certainly needs to call Renee. (Still can't get over that Tony Almeida was a baddy )
