[Movie] 24 Redemption (Exile) and Pre-Season 7 Discussion

24 REDEMPTION is an upcoming TV movie bridging the gap between the sixth and seventh season (January 11th) of 24.

It is airing this Sunday the 23rd. Everyone will be watching of course. I am excited, but not as excited as I probably should be since The Shield has blown my mind to bits. Anyway Bauer is back. Put spoilers in spoiler tags please.


Also, in case you miss it and if you are like me and want a hard copy, an extended director's cut is being released on DVD on Tuesday the 25th of November. Extras include commentary, "Making of" and "Children of War" featurettes, a brief summary of the sixth season, an alternate Season 7 trailer featuring scenes from the first fourteen episodes, and the first sixteen minutes of the Season 7 premiere episode.

Most amazing jew boots

I still think 4 and 6 is the worst out of the 6. I can only claim awesomeness on 1,2,3, and 5.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah DONT skip a season Kamui!

BZ, is the Shield really that good? I'm tempted to watch it, but I don't imagine it having twists and such which I love about 24.

In my honest opinion, the acting and writing is better than 24, and yes there there are twists and turns all over the place. You really never know what is going to happen. I would say they are equal on the unexpected happening. Kiefer is a killer actor, and most of the 24 cast is good, but the acting on The Shield is much more cohesive. The main actors, Sutherland and Chiklis are both equally insanely good actors. Also it is worth mentioning that while the first season is great material you really don't get super absorbed into the characters until season 2. At least that was the way for me. But don't even think of skipping any season since The Shield has the most continuity of any show I have ever seen, and watch out for spoilers for the love of god.

The Shield is also on the local level, not governmental like 24 by the way. At this point, with The Shield series coming to an end Tuesday, I put it above 24, but 24 could top it when all is said and done if season7,8, and 9 is great. The thing is, The Shield remained consistent in raising the bar with quality, while 24 has had some lapses.

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

I wont watch the clip preview of season 7 on the Redemption dvd, because it will be littered with spoilers, however, I pretty sure like the first 15 minutes of the first episode in on it too, so I might just watch that, since it is not spoiling anything because it will be exactly what I will see come January anyway.

All in all, the movie didn't feel very 24ish, but I thought that was a good thing here. Superb acting all around, even by the Africans. And what a great great scene at the gate near the end . <3

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah good plan, the show is better that way. I just won't be able to avoid the spoilers so I won't be doing it.

I was speaking idiomatically.
