24: Season 4: The Jack Bauer Power Hour Returns

…or, as I still continue to hope for, the Kim Bauer Shower Hour.

Season Four begins with four hours in two nghts- This Sunday and Monday, both starting at 8pm, and if last year’s rumors are true, they’ll be on every Monday night at 9 until the final episode (i.e., no month-long American Idol breaks).

What say you, 24 Club, shall we saddle up again this season? Knead, will you be around?

I’m contemplating watching them as they air GASP!, so I may stick around. The 4 hours in two days seems like a good way to ease my way into stretching it out. But since my VCR completely sucks it, and I’m not willing to drop anymore cash on electronics that are going to be obsolete in the near future, it’s my only option. Plus, what else is there to watch on Mondays?

Tough luck, fella. Elisha Cuthbert won’t be returning this season. Neither will any of the other cast members, apart from Kiefer himself.

Or so you think. I read a story the other day and it said you can’t rule out previous cast members returning.

I’m in. I’ve been lurking on these boards for at least a year now, but am now out of the shadows and ready to contribute!

I may be wrong but I thought we’d get to see some old faces just not as regulars.

The website on fox.com has some interesting movies too.

After the previous three seasons, Jack had best be fighting off advancing alien hordes this season. Otherwise, it’ll be a letdown.

On second thought- Jack deflecting an asteroid impact might be sufficient.

I am completely psyched. Jack is badass!

I think, if nothing else, Chloe appeared in one of the trailers for this coming season. Maybe a few others.

We got caught up on all three seasons via DVD last year, so we’re all set for this season. Now I can watch the show as ti airs and participate in the threads, instead of just reading them well after the fact.

No ‘Titgirl’???
Shit they got her attacked by a cougar just so she’d change her top then last year she wore the same thing throughout! Apart from the library thing, but that doesn’t count. And now there’s to be no scene with Michelle seducing Titgirl into her (former) Sapphic lifestyle?

It looks as though the UK will be able to see it within the same month as the US this time - which will be a first, and means I’ll be able to read this board about 24 (fairly) contemporaneously. I missed all the “Jack’s back - and he’s on smack!” opportunities.

I’d like to see Palmer again, but only on the proviso that when Sherry approaches him with an question about Keith’s college fees, he shoots and kills her.

And later she comes back.
Just got a dvd rw so I will be sending my non-cable friend THECORNISHIRISHMAN episodes as they air.

Hijack. My fave Jack line is not ‘I’m going to need a hacksaw’, but ‘Shoot him again’.

Thanks

24 Club…? :eek:

Can I join? I’ll bring nachos! :smiley:

I can deal with the absence of Elisha Cuthbert’s titties, since we will have Kim Raver to ogle now.

Not only is she way hotter, but she’s the same age as me, so’s I can ogle her without feeling vaguely creepy. :smiley:

I hope she turns out to be a baddie in episode #20.

As mentioned, Chloe will be involved, and also Tony will be around near the middle of the season.

Will Jack finally get to have a nap?

Will any mention be made of Jack’s former heroin addiction? Will we see his love interest at all after the first episode? Will he ever date another brunette?

I had an idea for a 24 “drinking game”, for those who remember the Star Trek TNG drinking game (google for it if you’re inclined).

You have to shout the category and take a shot in the following events…

Pillowfight - gratuitous shot of cleavage.

This is Jack Bauer - self explanatory.

Get me Jack Bauer - again, self explanatory.

Get me the President! - ibid.

I can help you, David. Let me help you. - guess.

**Disposable evil genius ** - the evil genius turns out to be a puppet of yet ANOTHER evil genius about halfway through the season.

It’s someone on the inside! - self explanatory

But not who you thought!

**Never mind, he’s secretly working for us. ** - self explanatory

Abuse of company resources - “I need you to dispatch an Apache attack helicopter to take my wife to the bank.”

**They’re Everywhere! ** - Bad guys can see the good guys anywhere, even when they’re taking a dump

Infinite Access - Get me the security camera tapes from the TCBY yogurt in Fresno on President’s Day of 1998. We’re looking for a guy wearing shoes. You’ve got 2 minutes… “Already got it, chief!”

It’s technobabble time! - We need to recompile the multimedia IP address graphic crypto key filter encapsulators.

**One last thing before you go… ** The only person who knows the code/saw the witness/whatever is about to die.

Just let me do my job! Saving the world temporarily excuses gross incompetence, treason, whatever.

Oh for Christs’s sake, her again? Oh yes, Nina will be back. Or her evil clone. Count on it.

I can make this all go away. But only if you blow me.

Yes. It’s the reason he was fired from CTU by the new director.

How about a shot when the camera does the traditional 24 Dramatic Zoom.

Or maybe not… we’d be blasted before the “Previously on 24…” intro was done.

Ok before the season gets started, lets reiterate the ground rules about what we can and can talk about (so we don’t have another train wreck like the Lostthreads) These are some of the rules we’ve all abided by in the past 3 years and it’s been a lovely spoiler-free experience.

RULES TO UNSPOILED POSTING IN THE OFFICIAL 24 THREADS:

  1. ONLY information from the current week’s televised episode may be discussed. No info from other websites, magazines, early downloaded episode, etc.

  2. Do NOT discuss scenes shown in the “next week on 24” bumpers. If you feel you must talk about the bumper, do so in a spoiler box. For those who do not know how to do spoilers, please read the SDMB rules and FAQ.
    Um…what else am I leaving out? Troy? Bibliocat (are you still around?) Knead? dalovindj? Anyone?

Ummm…

In season 3 Sherry was killed (thank FUCKING GOD!). A big fiasco erupted when she killed a man, and his wife killed her and herself.
