I'll be interested in learning if Tony really does SPOILER ALERT.

But till then I'll settle for knowing no Spoiler in the world can keep me from lovin' Season 7...and the return to glory.

[Vauxhall]

Just read a new spoiler about how the Africa storyline ties in to Season 7, which allegedly comes directly from one of the actors. I'd advise a pinch of salt though, just in case:

Spoiler

After the events in Africa in the prequel, General Juma (Tony Todd) leads a small band of nationalists to Washington DC to infiltrate the White House and kidnap newly elected President Allison Taylor (Cherry Jones).

Also, the 24: EXILE trailer, complete with proper voice-over, was shown at Comic Con. A recording from the crowd can be seen here - you've got to love the crowd reactions!

Imagine the reaction if Tony had appeared in the trailer - Comic-Con would have exploded!

[AngryPolarBear]

This season looks really good, but don't know if I like the plot in Vauxhall's spoiler.

[Professor Dent]

The crowd reactions are excellent! Makes the trailer seem that much more exciting.

[hcmv007]

The fan reaction was great! (Holy S---!)


Casting news-Rory Cochrane (Speed on CSI Miami) is in the cast, and Kurtwood Smith (Clarence Boddiker, Red Foreman, Long white haired President in Star Trek 6, and a lot of other cool characters) will be in 6 episodes. His nickname is Senator Red.

My dear fellow fans.. fellow freaks for 24...let us pray today for Bauer, who faced his most deadly opponent--and lost.

If you love Jack and the classic show, steer cleer of Sutherland's new flick, MIRRORS. I'm deeply saddened to say that the ending was simply too funny to bear:

Keifer Sutherland--Jack Blinkin' Bauer!!!--battles to the death with...are you ready... a shizoid, possessed SEVENTY-YEAR-OLD nun!!!!!!!

I'm going home now to have a good cry.

Yeah Kurtwood Smith appeared in the original Season 7 trailer from last year. Have you noticed that just about all the major players from Robocop have appeared on 24?

Peter Weller played the villain Christopher Henderson in S6
Ray Wise appeared as the vice president in S5
"Emil" aka toxic waste guy played Jack's brother

Miguel Ferrer should be available too...he was in Bionic Woman but that's been canned.

Sorry to hear. I saw a trailer for it & it didn't look too good. Hopefully, that ending was a casualty of the writers strike.

It seems that those of you lucky enough to be in Region 1 will be able to buy an extended director's cut DVD of 24: EXILE on 25th November - a mere two days after it is shown on television! It appears that it will be 1st December in the UK.

In other news, real-life US Navy SEALs will be used to film an action sequence in the upcoming Season 7.

[Professor Dent]

Very cool. They did a similar deal for the beginning of Season 6. They aired the first two episodes on Sunday, the next two episodes the following day (Monday), & then put out a DVD with all four episodes the very next day (Tuesday). No directors cut, though, but a neat idea.

[dodge]

Any news on whether Jack will wear the same hoody he wore in MIRRORS?

[dodge]

I may be having the last-minute jitters but I find myself hoping that Bauer will get a couple of short speeches in a normal tone of voice. I noticed while watching MIRRORS that Kiefer almost never talks. He always seems to do one of three things: whisper, rasp or roar. Come on, Jack, TALK to us!

[dinovelvet]

Word on the street is that Kim Bauer will be making an appearance in the new season, with a baby on her arm. What will Grandpa Jack make of this!

Dammit!

NOOOO!!!

Eugh, I also read this news, and apparently Kim will be returning towards the end of the season.

Also, the upcoming Season Seven prequel has changed it's title for some reason. Instead of 24: EXILE, it is now 24: REDEMPTION.

[SecretAgentFan]

I love 24. But I´m afraid that they can only repeat themselves with this format after seven seasons. Fox should stop milking the formula and end it with style.

[AngryPolarBear]

If they want to end it with style, season 6 isn't the way to do it.

[dinovelvet]

Didn't they say that about Bond?

[dodge]

Well, if TV Guide is right, we may be seeing some new ground: Jack being tried for his war crimes, for one thing. And, just possibly a love interest that isn't clearly doomed. Ah, what I wouldn't give to see Jack, in slowmo, frolicking on the beach with a nubile, laughing young beauty!

Well, sure. And then Bond had to shake things up. And even that's coming towards the end of its rope (I've been calling for Bond to close up shop after the Craig era).

Either 24 needs to drastically shake things up or call it a day. 'Cause its basic formula is feeling more than a little tired.

[Loomis]

Ditto.

Boom-tish.

To be honest, 24 is such a gimmicky show that I was surprised to see it renewed for a second season, let alone a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and who knows beyond.

Most of the seasons have proven entertaining (while the third disappointed slightly, the fifth achieved an epic height) until the sixth season, which (despite a promising opening quartet of episodes) very nearly drove the show into the ground.

My hope is for the seventh season to deliver us something new and different, but I'm not convinced that's the case by what I've heard. If anything, I'm more excited about the Africa-set 24: Redemption than I am about the seventh season.

[dodge]

I seem to remember reading that Sutherland's signed on for a few more years.

[Vauxhall]

[dodge]

Fabulous, Vaux'! The excitement mounts. Then again, I...mounted last night and feel the worse for wear.

I love an early morning ride.

[dinovelvet]

There will be some sort of preview for 24 : Redemption (as well as The Day the Earth stood still) this Sunday during a repeat of Fringe.

And while we're at it, Monday's Prison Break will feature a Max Payne preview

What?

Please, don´t.
