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!

I don't think Cole is going to make it.

Look at Jack's track record.....if I were him I wouldn't be putting down a deposit on my wedding suit anytime soon.

No tech boy can't be bad. I'm actually warming to him... which will probably mean that he is evil & will die.

essence DH & I both loved the incredible aim of a stabbed Jack. The man is a genuis!

exactly sock, I am liking him, therefore he will either die horribly (edgar) or become evil and be killed horribly (nina)

I am so spineless - I agree with EVERYONE. I think the story is a bit weak and boring and the holes are definitely even bigger than normal... but DH and I absolutely loved the left-handed-knife-throw-to-the-throat-while-stabbed-by-Renee thing and remain generally gripped. They definitely need a time frame thing to kick in - maybe that's what the truck with the rods is about to become?

And don't even get me started on blondie's hair - it's driving me crazy as well. Although I'm loving Chloe's new slightly more feminine look. The open chiffon number makes me giggle every time.

The main thing that jars is when did Jack become the touchy feely one? He's gone all jelly like and soft and while he keeps sticking with things, he's not exactly using any and all resources. He'll use a teenager but not a grown woman who was an FBI agent? Come on. This is the man who SHOT a man he LIKED to stop a terrorist, execution style? But he won't let Renee do what has to be done?

at Jack being touchyfeely, but you are so right.
This is the man who left his father to die on a burning oil rig, chopped off his partner, and DD's BF's arm, to name a few (DD's are playing plastic instruments, veyr hard to concentrate!)

Made me laugh when he was hugging Renee and reassured her (huskily of course) 'It's alright'. Erm, if you would just take another look around the room...

Let's get you some water renee, come over here............. just go round that dead guy, .............oh, step over that one too....

Mind that puddle of blood.... LOL

Just kick that gun over there, no, away from his hand, that's it. I'll just brush the broken glass from the sink first...

Ooh, you got a bit of his blood on the glass from your blood soaked hands, lets get a wet wipe.

Honestly, it's fine, could happen to anyone

Yes, I get stabbed in the stomach all the time, look, it's just a scratch.

And everything is alright, really it is, but just to humour me would you hide in this airing cupboard and shoot anyone who opens the door? Thanks.

Unless it's the good guys of course. Oh and tell them to track me, it will be okay. Don't freak out or anything if they can't....

Yeah track Jack with the mysterious droids that haven't been working properly all day
oh maybe tech guy is a baddie,
or he isn't but will start to blackmail Dana for sexual favours because he thinks shes cheating

Are those drone things really real or just a CTU thing? Seems a bit worrying that the government can follow you (or not) from the sky. < sockmonkey may take to wearing a hoodie>

I had typed that too and deleted,was going to say I keep imagining little robots hiding all round america

Yeap drones not droids

For give me 24 thread for
I read the paper during 24
I feel so sad that could keep track and read paper at same time

I'll confess too - I loaded the dishwasher at one point PBM - it's definitely gone off the boil for me......

Don't say that!! I haven't watched it yet... it's our treat tonight once boys are in bed. < sobs> Although not sure I could follow a complicated plot ATM, I have trouble finishing sentences...

I was reading a book.

Although waht is it with Jack and killing people with his legs? He just loves to wrap them around some terrorists neck and squeeze

This is the first one I've watched without interruption and I got quite into it, though I must admit there isn't (yet I'm hoping) the excitement when they switch between scenarios. In previous seasons I used to get right into one, then it would change and it'd be 'oh yeah what's going to happen here'...the Dana thing isn't working for me.

at Jack's death legs, like Onatopov in Bond.

Yeah, I don't normally enjoy the white house stuff but at least it is interesting. This time they are just dependant on Jack, which is normally the full case, and the 'other' story is ridiculous. If she is going to shoot him now, why didn't she try it earlier before helping him?

I lvoe that russian son guy though, can't wait for him and jack to get into it

Hello all! Have been avoiding this thread because we had a couple of episodes sky +'d
But now I've caught up I agree that it's notas pacy as some series but I have faith it will pick up soon. Also agree that chloe is waay to skinny and blondies hair is very annoying. Loving the implausible knife flick though!

Okay, deep breaths and fingers crossed we will get soemthing more interesting.

Dana is going to fuck up the 'hit' she is doing which should be mildly amusing, and Jack has to track down the familiar looking russian son.
Pres is probably just going to sit around looking pissy along with the arabic pres's daughter but hey ho.

It is the season finale of being human on at the same time, and for the first time I am tempted to watch that live and 24 later...

argh, can't believe it... 24 on tonight and we haven't watched last weeks ep yet.

Will try & catch up.
