    Cherry Jones won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role as President Allison Taylor in 24. :D

    So glad she won. Well deserved.

    She apparently said that she was particularly happy to win because Season 8 might be the last.

    Looks good but again with the whole Jack coming out of retirement to save the world thing? I mean think about it....how many seasons have started with Jack already part of CTU or some government agency? 1 and 3 he's with CTU, 2 he's "retired" and needs convincing to come back, 4 he's working with Heller, 5 he comes back from the dead, 6 he's back from China, and finally last year he's only in the US because of a subpoena.

    It just seems like every year he's "done" but something always brings him back.

    While acknowledging that they don't tend to stick with the first threat for the entire season, it's nice to see that it looks somewhat smaller scale (assassination plot, reminds me of Season 1).

    Fox now has a featurette up on YouTube. Looks very cool.

    EDIT: interesting, in both this and the trailer, very little of Kim. does she just have a quick appearance at the beginning, then leave with little Teri.
    One really bad thought crossed my mind rewatching the trailer: if you wanted to take Jack even lower than after Terri's death and Audrey's babbling lobotomy, kill little Teri. He does a dive from the Empire State Building, end of show.

    This has to be the least amount of hype ever for a new season. :p

    Well, the last time we came out of a great season and got excited for the next one, we got Season 6, so this time we don't want to jinx it ;)

    JACK AXED MURDERED SOMEONE. AWESOME. Loved the first two. They reminded me of seasons 2 and 4, thus they are going to slowly build-up into awesomeness.

    Jack's happy. That never works out well for him. Last time he was this happy, his wife died.

    That said, nice start to the day. I'm actually really liking Freddie Prinze Jr.'s character, so far. He stood out amongst the new people. But please, let this whole, "stalker/haunted past", Battlestar chick's story be interesting. It has a hint of being kind of boring, I hope I'm wrong though.

    While the two episodes as a whole were only okay and nothing really spectacular, I was pleasantly surprised with how they handled Jack getting pulled back in. I was dreading the inevitable moment where Jack has to dissapoint Kim because he's not coming with them to LA, but they surprised me with having Kim talk Jack into going back. I liked that.

    And Katee Sackhoff looks great. I always preferred her with longer hair.

    It took them several seasons, but the writers have finally gotten Kim to a point that makes sense and makes me like her. Also is it just me or is Grandpa Jack probably the best babysitter ever. I can't imagine Kim ever worries about leaving the kid with Jack. :p

    I like the look of new CTU and I like the Chloe is low man on the totem pole. I think she'll do a nice job by the end of putting these young whippersnappers in their place. ;)

    But a lot of last night was predictable. It was predictable that Allison would divorce her husband, it was predictable that the director of CTU was a jerk who wouldn't listen to Jack (but I love that Jack threatened to tattle to Taylor. Nice to have a president who trusts Jack. Maybe we can bypass a lot of the usual garbage about not listening to Jack based on that alone!)

    The reporter not being the assassin was incredibly predicatable as was the brother's role. So far I'm iffy on this president. And of course I'm far more interested in what the bigger plot could be.

    But all that matters is that Jack was awesome. The ax and knocking the guy to his death were perfect. Not as awesome/creepy as Vampire Jack from Season 6 but still very good.

    Looking forward to my favorite FBI agent's return tonight! :cool:

    I have to be honest...I thought the episodes were terrible. Aside from the snazzy new CTU, I wasn't impressed with anything. The writing seemed really poor. Chloe is having trouble with the new computer system, yet of course she's able to hack into the drone network within a matter of seconds. Why are they emphasizing the drones so much, anyway? Chloe's hunch on the person who planted the data just seemed silly.

    The only thing intriguing to me is the whole Dana/Jenny identity thing.

    I thought that the brother was way too obvious. I was hoping that it would be the wife, or possibly the daughter. We'll see how tonight goes.

    24 is an addiction, though. You can't just not watch. :p

    The theme seemed to be that this was the new more advanced CTU with all their high tech and yet low tech, outdated Jack and Chloe are figuring out things they can't because they are relying too heavily on their tech (drones, biometrics, etc.)

    Hmmm 24 must be a much better show than Heroes, cuz I am not going to watch Heroes this week(Live)!

    Sucks they are both on at the same time.

    *Sigh* another black authority being portrayed as IGNORANT, and WRONG!


    And, Jack's granddaughter is Adorable! [face_love]
