The second congress of the 24 Club is hereby (and much too soon) called to order.
When in the course of SDMB events, threads like 24 Season 2 spoilers!!! and Next Season’s “24” (Spoilers spoilers spoilers) begin to proliferate in freaking July, for Christ’s sake, it begins to be clear to me that those of us who wish to be able to not watch the next season of 24 until it is complete in much the same fashion as we didn’t watch the first season until it was complete need a place to congregate, pontificate, and delegate the responsibility for finding something other to talk about than the show itself.
In other news, I didn’t watch 24 last night. Instead, I watched Smallville, like I normally do on Tuesday when 24 is or is not on. Sadly, 24 was not on, so my VCR had no chance to be a little bitch.
Heaping more news upon the unsuspecting masses, it rained this morning! Sweet sassy mollassey, that’s good news. It’s just getting too durned hot around here to deal. My basil plant disintegrated over the weekend, and now my indoor plants are suffering.
I may not be on the boards much anymore, but I am an honourary member of the 24 Club, as I haven’t finished watching Season 1 yet (thanks to KneadtoKnow, I’ve seen through 7pm).
Two weeks without talking about “24”?!? You’d think it was summer, and there weren’t any new episodes and…
Oh.
Well, in case y’all didn’t hear, someone* is sponsoring 24 next season, and it will run continuous with no commercials. This will make a single viewing very difficult. When am I supposed to pee?!?
*Can’t find a link, or the sponsor. It’s very difficult to do a web search on “24”.
I think the sponsor is Ford, and while I’ve heard that is true of the season premiere, I hadn’t heard it of later episodes. That would be something, though, that’s for sure.
Ain’t it the truth. Not as hard, though, as trying to search the SDMB for “24.” In the interest of which, here’s a little update to the above list of 24-related threads:
Oh, here’s a little thought I had. Actually, you gave me the idea last season, Munch, with your fabulous head-them-off-at-the-Submit-Button idea to post a season finale “SPOILERS” thread before the season finale even ran. I think this season, the 24 Club should take responsibility for posting a SPOILER thread for every episode,[list=a][li]to make sure a thread gets started for each episode so the discussion can flow freely from week to week, but mainly [*]to make sure there’s no need for someone to start a “I can’t believe Jack shot So-and-So” thread.[/li]
Does that make any sense at all?
Boy, that list would’ve look a lot better with a close tag.

Don’cha think?
I was thinking Monday nights, but you know how the Cafe can be, and we wouldn’t want it to sink off the first page. Maybe post the thread fairly late Monday nights and give it one bump on Tuesday if needed.

I’m thrilled, for once I know what to get Dad for Christmas before November! Maybe I’ll even watch them with him, since I’ve never seen the show before.

Hey all, I have a dumb question: when is 24 premiering this fall (date and time)? I don’t want to do a search on Google because i’m afraid of spoilers in titles, and I don’t like watching Fox anymore, because there were so many spoilers in commercials. And yes, I was one of those people who would always turn off the TV before next week’s preview would be shown at the end of each episode.

PS Count me out of the 24 club… How can you not watch the episodes as they come out? What kind of supernatural willpower do y’all possess?
According to the official web site, the season premiere will be Tuesday, October 29, at 9 p.m.
As to “supernatural willpower,” shucks, I’m just playin’ 'em one game at a time, happy to be part of the team. What about you, Munch, you got any “supernatural willpower” you wanna tell us about?
