But what really got me was that scene with Cheng and Jack. What the hell was Josh doing? Impersonating Kim? Why did he try to climb among the pipes, only to end up hanging from a chain (in what was presented as mortal peril but really looked like a very short fall). Lucky that the cougar didn't come and eat him.Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04802271603305984472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12552373.post-22715418932755207232007-05-15T23:29:00.000-07:002007-05-15T23:29:00.000-07:00FYI.

From Variety and the Hollywood Reporter:<BR/><BR/>With the countdown clock ticking till Fox's Thursday upfront presentation, the network has picked up real-time drama "24" for two more seasons.<BR/><BR/>The unusually late renewal for the Emmy-winning "24," from Real Time Prods., Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox TV, will keep Jack Bauer saving the day through the 2008-09 season.<BR/><BR/>Series star Kiefer Sutherland already is locked to stay with the show through May 2009 under a three-year, eight-figure deal Sutherland inked last year with 20th TV (HR 4/10/2006).<BR/><BR/>"We're re-creating the series," executive producer/showrunner Howard Gordon said. "It is going to be a real-time thriller. Beyond that, it's an open book."<BR/><BR/>"24" has had a roller-coaster ride the past couple of seasons. It earned rave reviews for Season 5, which was capped by five Emmys last year, including best drama series and a best actor trophy for Sutherland. But during its current sixth season, "24" has drawn criticism from fans about losing some of its creative footing.<BR/><BR/>Gordon said he felt those assessments were "unfair." "On balance, it was a very successful season," he said.<BR/><BR/>The upcoming re-invention of the series was something the producers have talked about for a while, Gordon said.<BR/><BR/>Aside from Sutherland, "24" will return with a new cast (some old favorites might return in different roles) and a new, non-Los Angeles location, with the producers even contemplating telling the story from two locations.Jonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15477952661804767605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12552373.post-40316203473334119072007-05-15T13:02:00.000-07:002007-05-15T13:02:00.000-07:00You're right, Seth; I somehow forgot that perimete...You're right, Seth; I somehow forgot that perimeter-busting was a measure of a villain's cunning, not CTU's (or 24's) incompetence. Now that both Cheng and Philip Bauer have eluded CTU this season by magically descending stairs, maybe Division should be more worried about more than CTU's security. Or maybe Jack should partner with Harry Potter next season. Half of what Chloe does is total fantasy, anyway.bhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900492354634053246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12552373.post-85812070354579531682007-05-15T09:39:00.000-07:002007-05-15T09:39:00.000-07:00Bryan!

Yes, I call him "Chang" because I like it better than "Cheng." Besides, Jack can't call his brother (Gray or Graem) or enemy by their real name.<BR/><BR/>We also know that the THREE people in power at the White House know EVERYTHING that has something to do with Jack and his family. So it was really no surprise when Phillip called in. What WAS surprising, though, was that Phillip just casually called the White House, was taken seriously and was able to get through to Fish's phone.<BR/><BR/>In the previews for next week, it looked like Chloe was hurt -- so are we still flirting with the mole inside of CTU crap?Seth Gundersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02945015011472114257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12552373.post-31978131604853607522007-05-15T09:16:00.000-07:002007-05-15T09:16:00.000-07:00In addition to teleporting away from Jack on the r...In addition to teleporting away from Jack on the roof of that building, Chang also managed to get from the roof of whichever building he reappeared on to his car without breaking a sweat. Why do the writers even bother to stick the line "we're setting up a perimeter" in someone's mouth when it clearly means nothing? <BR/><BR/>The other thing I wondered was this: when Fish comes in with Philip Bauer's phone call for the president, and Philip says he wants sole custody of his grandson, nobody in the Oval Office said "who?" Did I miss the scene where they were all became familiar with the Bauer family tree? Why did they know exactly who Josh was?<BR/><BR/>That scene with Morris and Nadia hit new levels of awful. <BR/><BR/>Bryanbhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900492354634053246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12552373.post-42405474653716125592007-05-14T23:27:00.000-07:002007-05-14T23:27:00.000-07:00Anybody remember when (Senator Palmer/VP Daniels)'...Anybody remember when (Senator Palmer/VP Daniels)'s staffer (Elizabeth/Lisa) found out that her lover was a baddie and was sent on an undercover tryst to trick him, only to end up attacking him... and (Jack & CTU/Tom & Secret Service) were overseeing things nearby and yet took forever to react ?

All season they've shown how important it is that only three people in Washington know what's going on. Seriously, even before David Palmer was president he had a bigger entourage. I take great comfort in the fact that the real leaders of our country couldn't possibly be so incompetent that any of this could actually happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
