So, I'm a huge fan of 24. Loved it since the beginning. Admittedly though, the show's sixth season didn't do too well. However, according to fans and reviewers alike, the upcoming seventh season will fix all of that. To further intensify the dramatic return of one of the decade's best and most innovative shows, 24 returns next month in November in a special 2 hour prequel TV-Movie that will ramp up the events of Season 7.

For those who haven't seen it - check out the movie's official trailer. Looks bloody awesome!

What are your thoughts on the return of 24 and the upcoming movie?
 
I am not watching the guaranteed shitty next season if it's still the same plot as before(evil Tony? WTF. Not in CTU anymore? WTF.), I'll probably watch the 2 hour thing though.

Wait, after reading the synopsis, holy crap... sounds kinda've cool.

I hope they keep the BAWWWWWW drama to a minimum though.
 
Same plot? How do you mean?

Oh and Tony's probably not Evil. And it's most certainly a good thing that CTU is gone, I think.
 
Dosen't mean he's evil. ;)

In any case....that trailer is so old now. The entire season has gone through massive revisions since then. I think even a complete rewrite due to the writers strike that occured after the release of that trailer. Don't pay too much attention to it.
 
I'm still on my guard, the last season was worse than season 3.
 
24 the show where everyones a potential terrorist and argues that it's perfectly acceptable to torture people for information (no agenda going on there at all FOX, none at all). Seriously the first series was entertaining if overblown, but after that it's been one long jump over the shark...
 
Well...your opinion. I respect it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :)
 
Stopped watching after the first season. All the show seems to be about is to justify the Bush regime's methods.
 
Justify? I'm not so sure. Bring into question? Probably more like it.

How I feel exactly. The first series was hokey but entertaining (the premise was novel; 24 hours in an extraordinary day), but after that the plots got dafter (remote nuclear trigger for the entire country..WTF?), the situations got extremer and the lengths to which Jack Bauer would go to to 'do the right thing' became increasingly questionable and morally bankrupt (he didn't have to execute Nina, he just chose to out of infantile revenge). The subtext is 'by whatever means necessary' which sounds all fine and dandy when it's being applied to someone else.

Presidential candidate a terrorist? Could be, he's got a Muslim name after all? Let's waterboard him till he tells us where Osama is!!!! = the 24 mentality
 
The second season was as far as I could stomach...everything else after that was total crap...

L.A. gets nuked in the first 2 hours of the season and the rest of the season there is barely a single word about the event, even from the MSM? WTF???!!??!
 
The show's gotten rediculous. Jack should die at the end of the series.
 
I watched up until 2/3rds of the way through Season 6, then it just got stupid, even by it's own standards.
 
Tony is not evil, read an interview from one of the main writers to confirm this. I loved each and every one up to the last season, but I only disliked that because I never really watched it properly. I brought it on DVD and gave it a proper watch and really enjoyed it, even if some of the plot twists were rather ridiculous.

Ive been nuts about 24 since it first started so you can bet you arse Ill be watching this too, when does it come out for us brits on sky?
 
I hope Tony is evil so Jack can snap his neck.

I hate him so much.
 
Yes, the man who puts his girlfriend before his country owns me. :|
 
Then just replace girlfriend with wife and then my point still stands. :D
 
I started watching in Season 5 and jack shot some dudes wife in the leg and said "SHELL BE ALRIGHT I SHOT ABOVE THE KNEECAP". I then knew this was the greatest show ever. Except for season 6 what in the ****.

Also LOLWUT to the "TORTURE IS BAD RAAAHH BUSHDAISNDASID". The shows entertaining and shit thats all that matters.
 
It was better in season 2, he shot a child molestor in the head, and cut off his arm :D

I think season 3 was the better one though
 
So, for those who have watched it, what were your thoughts on the 2 hour tv-movie?

I personally loved it. Very intense. Very emotional. It sets up Season 7 very, very nicely.

I found it incredibly ironic as President Alison Taylor stood before the world stage and declared the fundamental democratic principals the the United States apparently upholds every day; freedom, and happiness just as Jack's own freedom was taken away from him as he boarded the chopper.
 
It was alright - nothing to shout about it. It lacked substance, and was much more of a 'set-up'.
 
It was okay.
It was slow and cliched as all hell but it was watchable and it got me interested in S7.
 
Ive loved every series! The 2 hour Redemption Episode was a good plot. I enjoyed it :D
 
My question to everyone is, why is this show still on the air?
 
Well aside from the last 2 seasons, its a pretty ****ing awesome show thats why.

Season 4 kind of blew chunks.

This displeases me.

As for redemption, was a good watch, thought it was an original location and plot in 24 terms, but there was something that bugged me about it, just lacked something, maybe substance as Samon said. But still looking forward to S7.
 
I wonder if Tony is a bad guy in the new series? or does it just SEEM that way...................
 
4 was alright - it was fun, and a definite improvement on 3, but compared to the likes of 1 and 5? Doesn't tally up.
