[image=http://images.usatoday.com/life/_photos/2005/01/07/inside-jack-bauer.jpg]


Jack Bauer returns Feb 2006 to Sky One in a new series of 24.

Let there be much celebrating


I want this thread to be spoiler free and be left to our own speculation and guesses. If you want to be spoiled go the YJCC and the season 5 thread, as the US will be about 2 months ahead of us when this starts.


Jacks wondering if the car is leaving spoilers

I've already been spoiled for episodes one and two but I'll stick to my rules and not confirm or deny any speculation you may have.


This thread is for all our wild fantastical theories and ideas so lets take it from there.



Confirmed tidbits from open and easily accessable sources

Sean Astin is in it (no comment as to whether he has to say potatoes or not)

Jack is assumed dead (season 4) but the Chinese still don't believe the US government over his death.

President Logan is still in charge, Whether he has toughened up is unknown.

Just remember

-"If you wake up in the morning, it's because Jack Bauer spared your life."

-"If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he'd shoot Nina twice."

-"If you get 7 stars on your wanted level on Grand Theft Auto, Jack Bauer comes after you. You don't want to get 7 stars."

-"Jack Bauer doesn't miss. If he didn't hit you it's because he was shooting at another terrorist twelve miles away."

-"Jack Bauer does not sleep. The only rest he needs is what he gets when he's knocked out or temporarily killed."

-"Jack Bauer shouldn't be compared to Jesus. Jack rose from the dead not once, but twice. "

-"Killing Jack Bauer doesn't make him dead. It just makes him angry."

Jack says -"Spoiling members of FF:UK is worse than getting 7 stars in GTA"

very VERY cool. Cant wait to watch it

 

I didn't think much of series 4. It didn't capture my excitement the way 2 and 3 did (I've never seen series 1).

However it was still better than much of what's on TV nowadays so I will be eagerly anticipating series 5. I want Elisha Cuthbert back though

 

Elisha is supposed to have a mini arc mid way through the series. But this has so far been unsubstantiated.

 

I loved Season 4 (still haven't seen Season 2 yet). This season should be a goody.

 

I've only seen up to season 2 so far so i'm already spoiled Palmer is no longer El Pres

 

Ive seen every single episode (m except season 5. I absolutley LOVE season 4

 

Season 5 rocks! It's been awesome so far.

 

ARrrghhh!

Why can't people just watch it in order - you know; 1,2,3,4 etc

Drives me mad. Like people who drift into the cinema to see sequals of films they haven't seen.

 

I never watched it in order (3, 1, 4, haven't seen two yet), so it can't be too bad.

 

Due to start Feb 12th.

 

I really wanna get into this show, so bring it on

 

50 mins to go


With regards to spoilers I'm happy to discuss anything that has happened (if it's been shown and you missed in then sorry) but if the consensus is to use HTR then I'll go with that.


You can speculate here as well but if you know something then don't put it down.

 

personally I'd prefer spoiler free until after the show has aired.

 

As I say if its happened it can be discussed

 

on an unrelated, and offtopic point - how do they film Dreamteam ?

 

whooo hooo its on"

 

oh dear lord

 

oh dear lord x2

stop killing people off

edit so they get some major characters back for a one off episode just to kill them and get us hooked on the story line.

Or.....

Palmer isn't actually dead.

edit 2

for anyone watching the adverts - that french connection ad was awesome

 

maybe Palmer is dead then........

Jack is back!

Am I the only person watching ? Or am I the only sado with a wireless laptop watching TV in the lounge while posting ?

 

Your the only saddo with a wireless laptop.



Outstanding first 2 shows I'm hooked already.


Palmer. Neck shot, what a hit. I'm gutted he's dead as he was a class Pres and with Logan running the show I fear what screwball **** up he'll allow next.


Tony and Michelle, Chelle done for and Tony badly injured.

Chloe gets her oats and the someone tries to do her in.


and Jack hits back with unrelenting skill.

List of his doings so far

1. Stolen Helicopter
2. GBA against many people
3. Impersonating a Federal agent
4. Threatening a member of the presidential staff (retired Wayne)
5. Breaking and entering
6. Threatening a member if the aviation service.

Roll on next week.

 

Arrghhh Derek!

Every season a floppy haired blonde sullen teenage lad throws a spanner into the works by not doing what they are told.

Season 1 - Dan
Season 2 - George's son
Season 3 - The virus kiddy
Season 4 - Heller's son
Season 5 - Derek!


Superb episodes though! Absolutely fantastic!

 

sounds like we're getting two episodes next week too

I'm still interested in the apparent footage of Jack in the building where the sniper was. Obviously it wasn't him as he was too busy eating pancakes with his B-family.
Do we think it was an imposter (CTU said the footage wasn't doctored)? Is there a second "evil-Jack" who is going to return to cause havoc? (or would that be too cheesy?)

 

Current state of play


Blonde dimwit son now unwitting hostage in Airport.

Jack armed and in airport looking at corpse of only suspect (shock horror) with all hell breaking out in the terminal.

CTU think Jack killed Palmer and is trying to work his way through Michelle, Tony and Chloe, though they are now doubting that assesment considering they know that Chloe was helping Jack voluntarily.

Walter Cummings has something to do with the current plot in some way (the terrorists high spec gear is even more suspect because of this)

Logan is still a complete CHOB and it appears his wife is a nutjub of some nature.


So yup a good start and next weeks should be good.


I give Cummings 6 more episodes before he gets caught (they usually catch the mole within the first half of the season) but he will have been doing what he's done for all the right reasons but gone about it in the wrong way


Logans wife will have done something stupid which has put Logan at risk or compromised his limited integrity and he will be foolish and continue to act like a clueless CHOB throughout the whole episode, I hope they take him out near the end he annoys me the incompetant fool (Do you think he was based on Bush?)


Jack will go insane and torture someone half to death and will also go AWOL.

I believe Kim is due back at some point as well [image=http://elisha.primenova.com/forumpics/MaximOktober2003_fantomas2k.jpg]

 

I hope she is
