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:
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:
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:
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.

and i flirted with season 2 a bit and just went 'eeh'
The show sucks a lot if you miss a few episodes, but DVR is so nice.
It was the Dad from that 70's show.
Thankyou thread, you answered the question I never asked.
Satans..... hints.....
Because if you do you can remember shit that you should have forgotten weeks ago and keep spotting massive plot holes.

Even though the writers ran out of ideas after season 3 it is still my favorite show.
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.
My roommate hopes the same thing, but just so that it's 24:7
This better not be a lie.
Tossrock: Somolia, you know Mogadishu, Blackhawk down?
Qorzm: I'm sorry, I don't follow hip-hop
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.
or eat
or sleep
or does basically anything besides killing terrorists
They are not consecutive days.
But that would be a pretty awesome premise for a "Bad Day L.A."-esque spinoff.
Exactly
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."
season 7 sounds hilarious:
All IPs will be hacked simultaneously.
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.
iphones and such?
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.
APPLE CISCO
The second best moment is when she has an AK47.
