Jack Bauer Power Hour

edited January 2009 in Social Entropy++
24logo.jpg

Season Seven of 24 began Sunday January 11th at 8PM EST in a 2 night 4 hour premiere.
Four years after Abu Fayed's reign of terror CTU has been disbanded by forces inside the government. Jack Bauer is facing questions in a grand jury hearing for actions he took in the pursuit of justice in addition to being fingered as the fall guy for all of CTU's mistakes. The FBI's counterterrorism squad learns of a plot to cripple the nation's computer infrastructure when they figure out that security expert Michael Latham has been kidnapped.


If you have been living under a rock for the past few years, here's the basic overview of the show. 24 takes place over a 24 hour period (each episode being 1 hour) focused around this guy:

24jack.jpg

Jack Bauer is like if every badass spy and killer ever procreated for hundreds of years and eventually popped out the most badass spy ever and then named the newborn child Jack Bauer. He rarely second guesses himself and won't hesitate to bite a dudes trachea out if that's what it takes to live. Hell, he'll even take on the president and RoboCop without even stopping to eat a sandwich or use the loo. Jack usually gets help from these dudes:

24bill.jpg24chloe.jpg

Bill Buchanan and Chloe O'Brian are like Jack's janitor and really nerdy friend. Bill (administratively) cleans up all of the messes that Jack makes and will usually bend and/or break the rules to make sure the job gets done. Chloe could probably hack your mom if she was a computer. She apparently knows everything about everything and can breach government security systems with the flick of a wrist. In season 7 they are up against this guy:

24tony.jpg

Tony Almeida was presumed dead during Season 5, but that is obviously not the case. Tony and Jack used to be mad tight brosephs, but that's all changed now and Tony is fighting the machine, and he sure as fuck isn't going to let the man keep him down.



There are lots of other characters who I really don't know if they're going to play a huge part of the season yet (including the dad from That 70's Show), so I'll update the OP if they make it to the big leagues.

    I've watched more parodies of this show than actual episodes of it. It seems like something I might enjoy if I suspended my feelings for this type of show long enough to give it a chance

    Season 5 was the best season so far. Last season sucked big time mostly because of the way it all went down in the end with the two major bad guys, and it's really hard to top yourself after what they did in like episode 3.


    The show sucks a lot if you miss a few episodes, but DVR is so nice.

    I was totally hooked until about halfway through season one. Then as I got closer and closer to the end of the season, I became increasingly tired of the ridiculous plot twists and near escapes that you knew would just end up with them captured again because hey, it's not the end of the season yet.

    I watched Robocop on saturday and it was bugging me that I couldn't remember who the bad guy was.

    It was the Dad from that 70's show.

    Thankyou thread, you answered the question I never asked.

    This is a show that you can't watch in big blocks though.

    Because if you do you can remember shit that you should have forgotten weeks ago and keep spotting massive plot holes.

    So this is the seventh time that some huge emergency has occurred and taken exactly 24 hours to resolve by the same guy every time.

    you know what villain they should bring back?

    The Cougars

    I've never watched a full season of 24, or even more than like...8 episodes, but my roommate is crazy obsessive about it (and would totally go gay for Jack Bauer) So I do love getting the readers digest versions of what happened Tuesday mornings.

    I have never watched 24.

    So, is each season a consecutive day. Is this going to be the end of the first week?

    No they usually take place a year+ apart. 7 is 4 years after 6.

    They are not consecutive days.

    But that would be a pretty awesome premise for a "Bad Day L.A."-esque spinoff.

    He eats the terrorists, and drinks his own pee. And only faggy fags can't go 24 hours without sleep.

    so it's all off in the future now?

    that is going to be awesome/awkward watching them in the years that they are supposed to take place, and seeing all the tech being wrong.

    first thought after reading that-"They've shown him eating twice during the show."

    Second-"I am so ashamed of myself for knowing that."

    It takes place in January 2013. After the black President dies and his idiot white VP gets voted out, a woman is voted in for the Republicans.

    Oh shit.

    Lots of smartphones and Dell monitors. The scene where Chloe writes a program in about 5 minutes for a phone, that allows it to remotely detonate a suicide bomb vest, was a real highlight.

    Despite my own personal affection towards Sprint, I still say that it will be hilarious to watch, in 2014, and be like "Oh yeah, I remember when those companies were still in business, and also the machines hadn't yet taken over and used us as cattle.

    The best Chloe moment was when she tasers a dude. Then 20 minutes later when he starts to wake up she tasers him again.

    The second best moment is when she has an AK47.
