[Movie] 24: Season 7 Discussion Thread - PREMIERES THIS SUNDAY JAN 11th! 2 nights 4 hours

Just a note, the regularly scheduled time for the show is Monday nights at 9/8c, not 8/7c (that's when House will come on).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The premiere wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. That's not necessarily a bad thing though, as S6 started off great and then went down the shitter, so maybe this season will do the opposite. The only real exciting part for me was the end of the second hour with Jack chasing Tony on the boat, with everything else ranging from pretty cool to mediocre (the presidential stuff in particular is kinda meh so far).

I have to say though, I'm really liking Agent Walker so far. She's definitely one of the strongest female characters the show has had (especially that's not evil), making her a believable partner for Jack.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

aww, man. Jack is infected and looks like he's going to die. Did they announce this as the series finally?
Sick episode, FBI is in a bad situation. At the last minute, I figured the guy sent them to the wrong location.

Spoiler:

This was never said to be the last season of the show, and it was just announced last week that Kiefer Sutherland has signed on for Season 8, so I wouldn't expect him to die just yet.

This was a pretty good episode, though I have to say it was weird for them to bring back a minor character from Season 3 (Dr. Sunny Mercer) for a role that could have essentially been played by anyone. I guess it was really weird because they didn't really make any reference to it at all (I'm pretty sure Jack should know her, but you wouldn't know that by watching this episode), and you wouldn't even know unless you had watched Season 3.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So I did the stupidest thing ever and took a nap before the show came on. Somehow I missed my alarm going off and ended up missing the whole first hour, and thus couldn't watch the second hour. Normally I'd have just downloaded it by now and have watched it, but since this season is already out on DVD/Blu-ray (and since we all know I'd be buying it anyway) I'll just head out and pick that up today and watch the last two eps sometime later today or tomorrow.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yep, just picked that shit up at Best Buy today for $45, which ain't that bad at all for a new release of a full TV season. I guess since they actually had this season finished before it started airing they could release the season set as soon as the finale aired.

And gaming, the back of the box mentions something about the music of 24 under the special features section, but I don't know if they mean a behind the scenes feature about how it's made or an actual soundtrack for the season. I'll check it out sometime soon and see.

I was speaking idiomatically.
