Jack Bauer Lives? (2 Viewers)

I just posted in the SNL thread that I got a little over-excited when Jack and Chloe appeared in a skit they did.

 
The president(the woman)was going to fry for treason or some other crime. She gave jack a window to escape.

 
Been so long can't remember how the last season ended and no lead in.....brief reminder anyo5?
The president, Allison Taylor, was intent on getting a treaty signed between a fictional Iran stand-in ("Kamistan"), the U.S., and Russia, but the Russians secretly weren't interested and had the reformist president of Kamistan killed while he was under Jack's protection. The Russians also killed Renee Walker, Jack's awesome and hot redhead love interest and former FBI agent. Jack then set out on a one-man vengeance fest, killing several Russians including their foreign minister, and almost killing the Russian president before stopping himself. Meanwhile, President Taylor learned of the Russian involvement in the assassinations from Jack, Chloe and others, but covered it up to get Kamistan to sign the treaty. At the last minute, Taylor reneged, turned herself into the Attorney General, and called off the U.S. hit squads that had Jack cornered, enabling him to get away, a man without a country, wanted by both the Russians and the Americans.

Awesome nice memory.

Love that it's back....didn't see the knife in the ear coming.

 
I would watch and be mildly excited for new episodes anyway, but Jack Bauer and Sarah ####### Walker on the same TV show? Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Also, giving 24 a chance at a mulligan on screwing up the Jack/Audrey storyline is pretty exciting. Good to see she's good and ready to kick Tom from Damages to the curb already, so we should be good to go once she realizes he's in town.

 
It was a fix I needed. Wasn't great, wasn't horrid it was just good but it was Jack and that's what matters.

 
Was so psyched to see the two key aspects of the breakout included the following:

1) Beat up three trained agents while handcuffed

2) Have his partner blast a giant hole in the ground while you're about ten feet away. Then climb up a ladder

Jack hasn't changed a bit!

 
That all seemed very familiar:

President with a vulnerability.

VP trying to do him in.

Someone getting clued in to VP's plotting (Audrey)

Someone being unfairly booted from crime fighting unit (used to be CTU, now CIA)

People in crime fighting unit have conflicting motives.

Chloe :angry:

Chloe goes against what her work group wants to help Jack, and can access every computer and camera everywhere.

Jack beats the #### out of everyone but stops short of killing most of them.

Still very worth watching, due to pace, lurking evil, and attractive women.

At the end of these 12 episodes Jack will be even more alone, more wanted by more people wanting to kill him.

No, this is totally different because it's the Chief of Staff, not the VP.

And the Chief of Staff wasn't trying to do him in... he's trying to make sure the Prez hides his alhezimers or whatever.

It's a horrible disease when you can't remember bits of trivia about the Roosevelts.
 
Is it more likely that Sarah Walker is Jack Bauer's daughter or his much younger half-sister?

She's a female Bauer (we'd better be getting one great fight scene between the two, if Keifer can keep up).

Certainly she could get away with being Cuthbert's sister

A Nina love-child doesn't fit the timeline, but maybe a pre-Nina/Teri dalliance.

Or maybe younger sister makes sense. I'm sure Phillip has his share of offspring floating around out there.

Loved it.
:goodposting:

I long ago reconciled my belief the show would never again reach the heights of the first four seasons after killing off all the great supporting characters during that time (Palmer's death, for me, was a huge blow the show never really overcame). I just wanna see Jack kicking ### and taking names and plenty of "DAMMIT"(s). Sutherland still owns the character and :angry: looks to be potentially even more :angry: if that's possible.

Great start to the season and great to have this show and Jack Bauer back.

 
First hour was better than second (slow at times) but I love that Jack is back on TV if for only a short season.

Never cared for Audrey and I hope there aren't any sappy moments with her and Jack. Love the kill in the restroom by the girlfriend on the hacker.

Too predictable with the Chief of Staff having personal reasons to keep Jack from Audrey, but it gets a pass. Good start to the series.

I wonder what ties the Drone pilot Lt. has with the rest of the plot, or was he just a temporary character to blame the dry run bombing on, and really a non-player to the plot.

I'm still surprised so many people don't like Audrey. She's awesome. Sure, she gets nervous and jittery around torture and violence because she's one of the few people on the show that isn't a trained killer.

But that didn't stop her from going to China to find Jack when nobody else cared.

I assume it's for much of the same reason folks don't like women on other action-fueled shows. They just get in the way of all the ###-kicking.

Anyway, I know happy, in-love Jack is not an option, but I always held out hope he'd get some sliver of happiness, and with Audrey (S6 finale was a terrible stomach punch).

While not the primary reason for the downfall after S5 (of which there were many), losing Audrey certainly played a part, even if nobody will admit it.

Audrey ranks way below Warner and Renee on the Jack love interest scale IMO.

I'm sorry, where was Warner while Audrey was getting tortured by the Chinese trying to save Jack?

And Renee was more of a colleague than a love interest.

Audrey was also the catalyst for the Bauer's biggest moment of badassery.

I can't find the actual scene, which is a shame, but here is a sappy montage (which isn't going to help my case one bit, I know): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWWX8NvEcP0

Wonderful work by Audrey at the end too. That jittery woman can handle a knife if need be.

He's keeping things secret from the president. He doesn't want the president to be open with the UK. He has his own agenda, which is different than the president's. Pretty easy to see the setup.

I'm not sure Audrey has ever changed facial expressions on this show.
You do realize which show we're talking about right? It's 2nd most popular character, by a few thousand country miles, is known simply by an angry face emoticon.

Let's just say it's a show not known for reaching down deep into each actor's emotional tool box.

Yeah but Chloe has personality. We're not talking about whether Audrey ruins the show here, just how she ranks behind badass Renee and Warner, who Kiefer had great chemistry with.
