I'm sure there are quite a few fans of Jack Bauer and 24 around these parts so thought I'd just start a small thread here to discuss the upcoming season, as the trailer will be premiered tonight on US television and online at www.24trailer.com in 51 minutes.

Quite a lot of information has been added to the page on Wikipedia but be warned there are several spoilers if you haven't seen the end of Season 5. A couple of new characters will be played by James Cromwell and Peter McNicol. It was also previously announced that Eddie Izzard would feature in the series, but his appearance has now been cancelled.

Thanks for the heads up, V". I wasnt happy with last season, but I'm still a fan. And looking forward to this year. I really hope it's a good one.

hey vauxhall, I'm a massive 24 fan and am watching that clock tick down to the trailer as we speak. I was hugely impressed with season 5 despite losing 3 of the finest characters in such wasteful circumstances (though infact, I do consider the lack of a heroic death for say, Palmer and Tony, to add to the value of their demise... as you are genuinly left mourning them. having said that I would certainly have swapped tony's death with that of Lynn McGill in the same episode or Paul from Season 4)

at this point of the year, between seasons, I always wonder if they can possibly improve (something which was easily done after season 4, the worst in my opinion) but in the case of season 5, which culminated in what was one of the greatest 24 scenes ever where Jack "broke down" in front of evil president logan I honestly doubt they can top it. a challenge I hope they pull off and prove me wrong!!

Excellent! I've got all the previous seasons on DVD.

Jack's Back.

and remember: "If you think you know everything about Terrorism...You don't know Jack."

Jeeeez - the trailer looks awesome!!! Wonder how that plot twist will work out!

indeed, this trailer for Die Another ........ stop that kid. The trailer is awesome. Just what I'll need after coming down from CR.

The idea of having america under siege before the season even begins was circulated a while ago, it looks quite good in action, very dark (even for 24!)
I don't know whether I like wayne as president, just seems like an easy way out when they could have introduced a new chatacter, I really liked the (false) rumour that they were creating a president styled around JFK, in a similar way that Logan's corrupt character was alike nixon.

The new season does look impressive, but we'll have a few months to wait to see if there's substance to back it up.

[Tarl_Cabot]

*drool*

Can't we start it up NOW??? why make us wait???

[dinovelvet]

Yeah, that was awesome!

Some shades of beginning-of-DAD here with bearded caveman Bauer after a stint in an Asian prison. Looks fantastic and intriguing.

I wonder what happened with Eddie Izzard...I did have a pet theory that he'd be playing Jack's evil brother who would be the major villain this season (based on nothing more than Eddie and Kiefer looking a bit alike, and the fact that Jack's father appears this season).

In conclusion, Chloe is hot.

[Nimsworth]

Oh yes this looks awesome. And remember this Jack Bauer isnt the same kicking, terrorist hunting, shoot your wife in the kneecaps, kill Nina Meyers Bauer in the first five seasons. He's been in a Chinese prison for 20 months so I'll be interested to see how that went down with him.

Boo to no more Tony Almeida and his constant look of pissed off-ed-ness.

I'm pissed it's not January NOW

This looks to be real exciting, and just how Wayne becomes President is anyone's guess. Mine, is that Logans VP made him VP when he became Pres, then Logan took out his old VP, and Wayne is the Pres.


Powers Booth has also joined the cast, James Cromwell plays Jack's dad


As far as Chloe-I'd put a hurtin on that bitch! DAMN!

DAMN!

Probably Wayne just got the sympathy vote because his brother was killed, and had 'name brand' recognition (e.g. RFK, George W. Bush). I think there's been a significant amount of time between seasons 5 and 6, enough time for a new presidential election...just look at Jack's appearance.

[bonds_walther]

24 rocks! It is by far the best programme on TV.

[dinovelvet]

Just saw a new promo for season 6, it featured the song 'My Wave' from Soundgarden, the band that featured singer...Chris Cornell. Coincidence?

[killkenny kid]

NO, I don't think so.

[Nimsworth]

Has anyone here seen the Season 6 prequel of 24 thats on the Season 5 DVDs?

PWNED~!

[doublenoughtspy]

I'm excited about season 6 as well.

I really wish he had somehow escaped from Chinese prison though - that would be MAJORLY AWESOME!

Getting traded for or bargained for is kinda lame, imho.

I know that internal politics is a staple of 24, but I really hope they tone it down a notch.

More Jack, less crap!

CBn's TheSaint and I are working on a site - it's called giveKeifferaThroatLosenge.com

DROP YOUR WEAPON!!!

Yeah, I wonder if the villain turns out to be a diamond-hoarding British billionaire with a secret identity...! Not much chance of an ice palace in Los Angeles though.

No, no ice palaces. But even now we can see a lot more change in Jack than we did in Brozza after lockup in Korea for about the same length of time. Sure hope they run the show back to back with Prison Break again. Monday nights will rock again.

Got the Season Five boxset of 24 for Christmas and this has just got me even more excited for the new series. I think the excitement is fuelled by the fact that the teasers that have been shown have served their exact purpose by not giving too much away. Really looking forward to the new twists and turns facing Jack.

[Professor Dent]

I was just checking my TiVo to do list & noticed the 24 season pass kicked-in & the first episodes are set to record. I got the Season 5 box set & the prequel for Season 6 looks awesome. Also, the Sean Callery music featurette on the 4th disc was good. I'm really looking forward to see how they make this season more about Jack saving his own butt vs him saving the world.

[Vauxhall]

The first four episodes of Season 6 of 24 have appeared online. One word - awesome. Sometimes I struggle to comprehend how the makers of the programme have manage to better everything that's gone before. From what I've seen, they've done it again. Be prepared for the usual plot twists, and one of the most graphic killings ever by Jack...

I just did a quick search & saw the links for them. It's a shame these are out before the TV premier (I'll skip my "how worthless copy protection is" rant )

I did hear some preliminary reports that these episodes rock -- thanks for the confirmation Vauxhall.

[Nimsworth]

Aftrer Season Five I thought they had no where to go but down...

After watching these four hours I cant believe how wrong I was.

Theres a great "blink and you miss" cameo in there for fans of Extras and The office UK as well.

I love 24 and my husband and I have been counting down the days to series 6 starting (remember to take phone off hook, lock cat flap, padlock the gate, etc.) After reading this thread very tempted to watch those first 4 hours online, what's a girl to do .....

Could you clarify just one thing, please? One report claimed that the first two hours were rather slow, in comparison with past seasons--but then, by the end of night two, things took off. Any truth to this? How's the pacing?

The first two hours is the 24 we all know and love... the second two will blow you away!

Thank you. Five more days!

[killkenny kid]

OMFG, forget everything I said about Day 5. Day 6 will rock you to the core based on the first two hours.
