This probably means that they'll have a timeskip somewhere.

I seriously hope

the skip does not occur in the final episode, final segment.

It's ok, I understand. I get things wrong all the time.

Seriously. Season 4. Jack takes on a fucking whole compound of guys to save Heller. Palmers in it. Logan gets introduced and has a great run in it. The Chinese Embassy thing is great. Audrey isn't annoying. Tony and Michelle are in it. A good EMP subplot and decent firefight after. An element of almost finality and closure with the ending.

Season 6 has...?

I don't hate S6. It's slow and Jack is all but twiddling his thumbs in parts but it also has some of his highest highs("Damn Jack...") along with tons of MGS parallel, but it isn't in the same league as S4.

S4 is the most fun, most rewatcable season of them all imo. It features an all-star roster of 24 greats not to mention non stop ridiculous fuckery from beginning to end:

-Jack robbing a bumfuck gas station and taking a terrorist hostage
-Tony day drinking and watching soccer while being emasculated by his sleezy girlfriend
-Tony running CTU hours later
-Tony back with Michelle hours after that
-Araz family drama highlighted by Dina poisoning Behrooz's stalker girlfriend while showing her baby pictures
-Edgar computer scienceing the shit out of nuclear meltdowns
-CTU using sensory deprivation to torture Sec. Heller's poor hipster son out of the closet
-Paul Reigns allowing himself to be tortured with a hotel lamp so Audrey feels sorry for him
-Jack leading redshirts to victory over a private military force
-Mandy wreaking utter havoc on an apartment complex

I could go on. And while he was no Henderson(or Saunders or Drazen), Marwan was a worthy a villain.

Jack torturing Paul Raines was fucking hardcore though, I was shocked.

I expect this to be completely terrible, and I completely look forward to watching it anyway

Hell Yes!!!

So pumped for 24 tonight. Glad they went with a reboot, but tbh I wish Jack Bauer was involved in some capacity. Even if it meant he was just a cameo. This should have ties to the original series but still be completely new, if it isn't already.

Edit: just read the Op. Tony is in! WTF, this is going to be amazing lol.

I'm worried about Prison Break but it could be good still. They will never capture what made that first season so amazing again but I'll take what I can get!

Servbot24 · Feb 6, 2017

5 > 1 > 4 > 2 = 3 > 9 > 7 > 6 > 8

7 started it, and then 8 completely destroyed Jack's character. Not in a tragic sort of way, but a fuck these writers sort of way.

How is this show gonna work? The black guy always dies first

pls don't ban me

It's better this way. 24 episodes is too many and they have to stretch out the season with dumb filler, a fake villain to start with, a mole in CTU, then the last third of the season we get the final villain reveal. Less episodes means they can cut out a lot of the junk.

I loved the "junk".

They should have cast someone else for the lead guy, he just doesn't seem menacing at all.

Probably should have made Tony the lead

That's my number one complaint. They cast someone who looks too young.

Razgriz-Specter · Feb 6, 2017

Was worried it seemed to low scale but the latest ads seem better.

DrForester · Feb 6, 2017

How the hell have I managed to go until that last commercial to know Tony's back?

Should've got President Palmer + Cuervo Gold Tony as leads.

The second worst season after season 6 imo. The focus on the boring villain Marwan grew tiresome fast. It was all "Marwan this" and "Marwan that", which didn't make sense because he was such an awful character.

We have a countdown timer.

crimsonheadGCN · Feb 6, 2017

I'll watch this tomorrow, but I'm hoping it'll be good.

Line_HTX · Feb 6, 2017

One minute left!

brau · Feb 6, 2017

Will this be streaming online like previous 24 seasons?

k91191 · Feb 6, 2017

Fucking Fox Boston making me wait till 1:30AM

fuck you

Lonestar · Feb 6, 2017

Maybe not the best show to come back, knowing Trump watches lots of Fox tv.

Though, having a black man being the lead character will maybe turn him away.

Line_HTX · Feb 6, 2017

LET'S FUCKING GO!

Dr.Acula · Feb 6, 2017

Weird not hearing Kiefer doing the whole "The following takes place between..." intro.

Oh shit, that was brutal.

Do we already have a family member with a drug issue

Line_HTX · Feb 6, 2017

Are you really OK?

JB2448 · Feb 6, 2017

His wife is going to buy it to solidify his Bauer replacement status, isn't she?

Line_HTX · Feb 6, 2017

Kiefer is still Executive Producer.

rekameohs · Feb 6, 2017

Senator Jimmy Smits.

And again, it's like poetry, it's sort of - they rhyme.

Line_HTX · Feb 6, 2017

Will this be a good or corrupt Senator?

Nobility · Feb 6, 2017

Former director...

SuperOrez · Feb 6, 2017

Is this a reboot? Should I watch previous seasons?

Xplatformer · Feb 6, 2017

Dialed in.

I need this after the GOAT won his 5th super bowl ring.

Time to believe in the fictional american heroes for now.

Wait..you've never seen 24?

I don't know if it's everyones cup of tea, but it's my favorite tv action series of all time, and I'm pretty old.

Line_HTX · Feb 6, 2017

They got found out.
