Is Bauer Movie First Two Hours Of 24’s 7th Season?? Or Not??

Is 24 really that good? by blckmgk13	Jun 26th, 2008 11:16:12 AM
I have yet to watch an episode.
Penis by syn_flood	Jun 26th, 2008 11:17:34 AM
I like it...
that's strange that they'll break up the 24 hr time period by just pillow talk	Jun 26th, 2008 11:18:06 AM
due to the movie being included as part of the season. I thought for sure it would be separate from the season per se, and just serve as more of an intro.
blckmgk13 by just pillow talk	Jun 26th, 2008 11:19:03 AM
It depends upon the season, but I would definitely check out season one and see if you like it.

Coax? by Latchkey_Kid	Jun 26th, 2008 11:21:53 AM
Why isn't this in coax? Regardless, I'm done with the show. It's been in decline since season 2 and last season was nigh-unwatchable.
Has anyone else verified the 2 + 22 plan? by tonagan	Jun 26th, 2008 11:23:15 AM
I mean, I have no reason to doubt Robert Carlysle, but he could be mistaken.
24 can be fantastic by canopus	Jun 26th, 2008 11:25:13 AM
And sometimes it's not, still better than most stuff on TV, and Kiefer Sutherland is always great as Jack Bauer. If they're going to bring back a character from the dead, it should have been Michelle, she was a kick ass babe, I could have even seen her taking over as the lead if Kiefer decided to leave. We only saw Tony cradling her, he's not a doctor, maybe she was saved by paramedics, and has been in a coma ever since, and it's been kept secret for her own safety. The show always seems to be taking place in the present, but every season jumps ahead a few years, I guess it's just one of those things we're not supposed to notice.
I gave up after the first series by O_Goncho	Jun 26th, 2008 11:26:26 AM

Just got off the phone with Robert Carlyle.... by spyro	Jun 26th, 2008 11:28:08 AM
and told him off for talking shite. Perhaps something was lost in translation...? In an interview with Premiere.com, Scotsman Robert Carlyle stated that the two hours covered by this November's 24 prequel movie will count toward Season 7's episode count. "This is two hours in real time," he said, "and there'll then be 22 episodes." That didn't seem kosher, so I checked with Fox and confirmed that Day 7 indeed will be the usual 24 episodes/hours, wholly supplementary to the TV-movie. Carlyle also indicated that the final moments of the prequel will feed right into the opening scenes of Season 7, yet again, that is not exactly the case. The prequel itself picks up four years after the events of Day 6 — effectively planting Jack Bauer in the year 2017, if you have been keeping tabs — and then another few on-screen months will pass between the movie's sure-to-be-thrilling climax and Jack's appearance before Congress. — Matt Mitovich TVguide.com
Let Chloe die. PLEASE let Chloe die! by DerLanghaarige	Jun 26th, 2008 11:32:20 AM
Or at least disappear. I can't believe that she seriously got fans! They kill Edgar after 1 1/2 seasons but this annoying bitch is still a part of the show? She is the Jar Jar Binks of 24!
4 years in the future? by JediRob	Jun 26th, 2008 11:36:29 AM

SCRIPT LEAK - Carlyle's first scene with Jack by Mr. Nice Gaius	Jun 26th, 2008 11:40:04 AM
"Picture the scene: The other fuckin' week there, doin' the fuckin' Volley with Tommy, playing pool. I'm playing like Paul-Fuckin'-Newman by the way. Givin' the boy here the tannin' of a lifetime. So it comes to there, during the last shot, the deciding ball of the whole tournament. I'm on the black and he's sittin' in the corner looking all fuckin' biscuit-arsed. When this hard cunt comes in. Obviously fuckin' fancied himself, like. Starts staring at me. Lookin' at me, right fuckin' at me, as if to say, "Come ahead, square go." You ken me, I'm not the type of cunt that goes looking for fuckin' bother, like, but at the end of the day I'm the cunt with a pool cue and he can get the fat end in his puss any time he fucking wanted like. So I squares up, casual like. What does the hard cunt do? Or the so-called hard cunt? Shites it. Puts down his drink, turns, and gets the fuck out of there. And after that, well, the game was mine."
Don't let Carlyle become the bad guy! by IAmJack'sUserID	Jun 26th, 2008 11:45:43 AM
Do you know how SICK I am of the good guy's best friend becoming the bad guy later or revealing himself to be the bad guy behind all of the shit at the very last minute? And if my calculations are correct, 12 years will have passed between seasons 1 and 7.
24 hours to go postal on Mugabe by Conqueror Worm	Jun 26th, 2008 11:48:11 AM
I love 24 with a passion, still one of the most original series on US TV, however Season 6 was a big let down, yet Season 5 was one of the best! High Hopes!
24 used to be my favorite show by coachaaron	Jun 26th, 2008 11:52:02 AM
now it's not even in my top 5. if they can't give us a quality season ASAP, i have a feeling, contract or not, the show might be canceled. almost all of 24's mistakes can be blamed on lazy writting. storylines and even characters have been blatantly copied season after season.
"Jon Voight (“Transformers”) " by HoboCode	Jun 26th, 2008 11:53:28 AM
Cringe.
Chloe a mother? by HoboCode	Jun 26th, 2008 11:53:54 AM
God help the kid.
24 quality. by HoboCode	Jun 26th, 2008 11:57:25 AM
I would rank the seasons thus far: 1. Season 1 2. Season 5 3. Season 2 4. Season 3 5. Season 4 6. Season 6
24 is the ultimate guilty pleasure. by I Hope You Die	Jun 26th, 2008 11:58:32 AM
It doesn't have to be good. But it helps when it's not boring and directionless (most of Season 6). Robert Carlyle is a terrible actor though; I hope he takes a bullet.
Please refer to TRAINSPOTTING by Conqueror Worm	Jun 26th, 2008 12:04:27 PM
For those who underrate Robert Carlyle, I can only refer you to Trainspotting to prove his worth. p.s. WANTED was funkin' great.
I want Carly Pope to play my girlfriend by Big Jim	Jun 26th, 2008 12:09:47 PM
Tony Todd scares me.
The fact that you have to refer to Trainspotting. by I Hope You Die	Jun 26th, 2008 12:10:02 PM
Proves my point! Plenty of actors fit one role well and then prove mind-numbingly cringe-inducingly bad in every subsequent role.
24 is fun as hell by Nabster	Jun 26th, 2008 12:11:50 PM
And it can be incredibly addictive. The fifth season worked excellently, although some seasons tend to flounder. My main complaint is the new cast of CTU, they are simply not as interesting as the old school members.

Robert Carlyle hate? by JediRob	Jun 26th, 2008 12:17:46 PM
I had no idea? I always like him in what I see him in. Especially, 28 Weeks Later, Full Monty, Ravenous, Angela's Ashes, he was a pretty cool Bond villain too even though it wasn't the best Bond movie.
Some thoughts by Leopold Scotch	Jun 26th, 2008 12:20:03 PM
1. "Jon Voight (Transformers)": HA HA HA!!! 2. Tony Mugabe - I mean Todd... 3. How come I never knew about that trailer? Did AICN notify us about it and I simply missed it or will I have to start looking elsewhere for news on my favourite shows?

Thanks Herc, I'm too lazy to look elsewhere anyway by Leopold Scotch	Jun 26th, 2008 12:29:41 PM
Wow, I certainly missed that one big time. October last year? Jeez. My excuse is I was moving house and didn't have the internet sorted. Yeah, that's it... moving house...
"Tonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!" by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 26th, 2008 12:38:11 PM

So how old is Jack now? by MRJONZ72	Jun 26th, 2008 12:52:45 PM
I forgot
MRJONZ72 by Rickey Henderson	Jun 26th, 2008 12:57:32 PM
Jack Bauer is however goddamned old he tells you he is.
Chloe is the worst thing about 24 by Heckles	Jun 26th, 2008 01:00:40 PM
Without question. Her shit smelling face and pointless dialogue drags down the show at every turn. Meanwhile, every interesting character is killed off. I like the show less because of her.
RETURN OF THE PATCH!!!! by SamBlackChvrch21	Jun 26th, 2008 01:06:37 PM
great to see Carlos Bernard back! Alemida is THE MAN! http://tinyurl.com/4bpbo
tony is alive? did anyone else know this?!? by newc0253	Jun 26th, 2008 01:24:39 PM
i keed, i keed. man, i hope this show turns a corner. 24 has had weak eps before and even weaker seasons (insert your pick here), but last season was just ass. i still can't fathom how David Fury and Manny Coto could helm such dreck. but if Bauer v Gorillas in the Mist and the Lion King is what it takes to bring 24 back, so be it.
Jack doesn't age... by just pillow talk	Jun 26th, 2008 01:27:58 PM
since he ripped Father Time's neck off with his teeth.
So what year is it now in the 24 universe? by V'Shael	Jun 26th, 2008 01:33:54 PM
2020? Will we see any of the new tech that will undoubtedly appear by then?
Sprague Grayden will be killed off. by V'Shael	Jun 26th, 2008 01:34:40 PM
Because she's killed off in EVERYTHING she ever appears in.
Can't wait!! by Acappellaman	Jun 26th, 2008 01:42:16 PM
I'm jonesing for some 24. I don't care how outlandish the plots get or what year it's supposed to be. It's still a thrilling ride. Jack Bauer rules!
This show just gets crazier and crazier... by I am_NOTREAL	Jun 26th, 2008 01:57:29 PM
It really is a fascinating mess, and all the more fascinating because it's genesis was a show welded to a premise--real time--that would seem to force it to keep at least a toehold in reality. But now its more out there than any show this side of "Lost." When do we get Jack Bauer in space? Or traveling in time?
I thought Tony was the bad guy this season? by Holeman	Jun 26th, 2008 02:09:33 PM
What happened to that?
HERC by MR. MURDOCH	Jun 26th, 2008 02:11:22 PM
You can add one more cast member to the list -- I believe Peter Wingfield (Methos from Highlander: The Series) is still attached to play "the shadowy Mr. Emerson," an ambiguously defined colleague of Jack's for at least 4, possibly more, episodes...
Just checked up on this... by MR. MURDOCH	Jun 26th, 2008 02:14:02 PM
Last we heard he should be first showing up in Episode 2...now whether that means the second half of "Africa" TV movie, or the regular season, I do not know... I would assume he isn't showing up until the regular season, considering this "Africa" thing was added on fairly recently... Yes, I'm a fan of the g

Does anyone know the status of the looming by Amadeo Zeller	Jun 26th, 2008 02:39:23 PM
Actor strike? - And have they already shot the movie or is it at risk of being shutdown if the strike comes to past on July 1st.? Sorry i'm unable to pull up the link.
Was Carly Pope the blond girl or the brunette? by chrth	Jun 26th, 2008 02:44:13 PM
Of course, they were both yummy.
Carly Pope was the brunette by Big Jim	Jun 26th, 2008 02:50:54 PM
The blonde was Leslie "What do you think of your other nickname, The Merchant of Death" Bibb.
^ She was the brunette with a massive gum line by photoboy	Jun 26th, 2008 02:51:07 PM
I hope Almeida is the main bad guy this season and not one of the lame henchmen who get killed 12 episodes in...
Jon Voight (“Transformers”) by Jackie Boy	Jun 26th, 2008 03:05:06 PM
ouch.
The season will be great if Red Forman says the following by Xiphos_2	Jun 26th, 2008 03:54:15 PM
"Bitches Leave!" Then season seven becomes the best season ever of 24.
So it's been like, what, 20 years now? by BitterMan23	Jun 26th, 2008 04:04:04 PM
Since the first season? There's always 2-3 years in between, right?
2012 in 24 verse and yeah Tony is bad by Dogmatic	Jun 26th, 2008 04:06:24 PM
it started in 2001...then 1 year between 1 and 2...3 years between 2 and 3...18 months between 3 and 4....6 months between 4 and 5...18 months between 5 and 6...3 years between 6 and 7 EQUALS 10 1/2 years from 2001...so that means Season 7 is gonna be set in mid 2011 so just like 2 1/2 years aheard of when it airs.
Oops mid-2012 sorry by Dogmatic	Jun 26th, 2008 04:07:38 PM
4 years between 6 and 7 EQUALS out to mid 2012...3 1/2 years ahead of the time it airs
spoiler by smackfu	Jun 26th, 2008 04:24:14 PM
The terrorist threat isn't really the Sangalans. It's really an off-shoot rogue organization from a 'safe' country that won't throw a fit if we imply they are our enemy in a fictional tv-show. This organization has it's own agenda to de-stabilize the US, but not because they feel oppressed by us, no, it's something that is in no way our fault. The real spoiler is, they are being secretely assisted by people in the US government who want them to succeed for some unknown reason completely un-related to oil or regime-change.
24's title doesn't translate well in other countries by smackfu	Jun 26th, 2008 04:27:27 PM
they just usually call it 'tv producers walking on eggshells'. And Jackie Boy, I feel your pain. I made a similar post a while back when Voight was credited as being (from Transformers). Pretty much like saying it stars Robert Deniro (Hide and Seek).
24 maths by sambrook	Jun 26th, 2008 04:39:48 PM
A year between 1 and 2, 3 between and 3, 18 months between 3 and 4, another 18 months between 4 and 5, 20 months between 5 and 6, 4 between 6 and 7 - I get about 12 years putting us towards the end of 2013 (if Chloe's kid is 4 then you need to add pregnancy time as well).
Fuck this right wing trash by PotSmokinAlien	Jun 26th, 2008 05:04:42 PM

The Presidents Son Goes Missing?!?! by Crow3711	Jun 26th, 2008 05:05:05 PM
At some point?!?! And I thought 24 had run out of ideas. This new "family members disappearing" should turn everything. I'm just kidding, btw. I love 24. I just think its funny that in every season at least one family member of Bauer and/or Current President goes missing.
and PotSmokingAlien by Crow3711	Jun 26th, 2008 05:07:33 PM
You're dumb. Just because Cheney goes away with not sate my desire to watch Jack Bauer bite someone in the throat to death. That's for sure. As long as the show is QUALITY, people will watch. Right wing, left wing...24 rocks. Torture is cool when a nuke is gonna go off in 5 minutes. Deal with it.
Jack is 52... by bellwether	Jun 26th, 2008 05:30:01 PM

That NY post article is wrong by sambrook	Jun 26th, 2008 06:06:09 PM
I just checked and I got the gap between 1 and 2 wrong - it's 18 months which means there will have been 12 years and 8 months betwwn 1 and 7. I have no idea how people are calculating 17 years, all the time spans are noted in the first episode of each season.
The president's son has been kidnapped! by punto	Jun 26th, 2008 06:45:41 PM
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president's son? Chloe also played a character in "Suddenly Susan" (or one of those shitty sitcoms) named Chloe, who claimed to be a CIA agent.
that's not what the fridge is for by punto	Jun 26th, 2008 07:04:48 PM
Jack can contain the threat from a biological wheapon by hiding it in the fridge. He can be saved from a nuclear blast by hiding behind a rock. Get your facts straight.
So, when can we expect Desmond? by Shermdawg	Jun 26th, 2008 07:11:12 PM

Don't expect to see Jack's daughter again by SnootyBoots	Jun 26th, 2008 07:45:20 PM
I don't know how old Jack was in season one, but his daughter was in High School, probably about 17. Assuming that jack wasn't a teenaged Dad he'd have to be well into his 50s in this next season. Meanwhile, Sutherland is just past 40 and could play younger. So they'll keep the daughter away to keep our minds off his age.

used to be so good by chewyou812	Jun 27th, 2008 07:15:10 AM
I love me some Jack Bauer CTU action but this show may have to be put out of its misery. The 6th season was such an abomination that I thought it had to be rock bottom. Unfortunately I think the show would be better off with bringing back that menacing mountain lion.
I just got off the phone with Patrick Walburton by ArcadianDS	Jun 27th, 2008 09:20:03 AM

I rank the seasons.. by malificus	Jun 29th, 2008 10:51:00 AM
..as rank. No show ever takes an upturn, my wife says maybe this is the season that kicks in but I say shows only degenerate, never re-generate. I had moments last season where I was pissed that I was watching, how wrong is that? I can't go forward on the assumption that "Gee I've watched them all so far.." I walked from the x-files when it started sucking even given how much I loved it at the start, I'll walk from 24 in a heartbeat. Maybe I already have.
