24 Season 6 Anticipation Thread
More and more info about season 6 keeps coming out as we get closer and closer to the start of the season (only five months away now), so instead of still posting in the season 5 thread, I figured we might as well get a new place to discuss all of this stuff.
First off, things like casting info and info about the characters could spoil things for some people, so keep those things and discussions about them in spoiler tags. Other than that, everything should be able to be discussed without using spoiler tags. So here's the new casting news from earlier this week. Just want to note, this is coming from a man who usually reports spoilers and stuff, but while there's a chance the news is not accurate, it most likely is. Spoiler:
My thoughts:
So feel free to post any 24 news you find, or discuss any of the existing news already posted (just remember to follow the rules about the spoiler tags). Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Man, it sucks that we have to wait all the way until January 2007 for Season Six. But, I waited that long for Serason Five, I guess I can do it for Serason Six. I got this stuff from 24fan.blogpot.com:
Spoiler:
Spoiler:
""Numb3rs" and "Ally McBeal" actor Peter MacNicol is joining 24 next season as a series regular. The actor will portray a high-ranking government official." "Much speculation on the various 24 boards about the role of Wayne Palmer's wife in the S6 storyline. Regina King has been cast as a regular. She plays Wayne and David Palmer's sister -- an advocacy lawyer named Angela Palmer. UPDATE: Entertainment Weekly's Popwatch asks an interesting question: Can a strong black woman actually survive a season of 24 without being devious, imperious or just plain evil?" Spoiler from Kim Raver: Spoiler:

------------ That's all the stuff I have so far. xman25 Double Post: These two things I got from http://24fan.blogspot.com/ 1) "From The Ausiello Report: Eric Balfour has signed on to reprise his Season 1 role as independent CTU contractor Milo Pressman. My spy wouldn't say how Milo would be re-introduced, but he'll be sticking around for a while: Balfour will be credited as a series regular. Former Star Trek: Deep Space Nine doc Alexander Siddig is joining the cast as one of the evildoers behind the big Season 6 plot. Additionally, Carlo Rota (aka Mr. Chloe O'Brian) will be back as a series regular." -- Something to watch for: 2) "Next week on the 24 stages, Kiefer and Mary Lynn are shooting a special spoof video with Conan O'Brien for the Emmy telecast. So it wasn't enough that 24 got the most freaking nominations for a series, and the fact that Kiefer is confirmed to be a presenter. Now I'm gonna have to tune in on August 27th just to see this video. Conan has the best writers, so I'm predicting it will be hilarious." -- xman25 There's nowhere I can't reach.

From wikipedia, some of the things are repeats from earlier posts in this thread, but a number of things aren't. I didn't feel like editing things out. So here you go:

I can die happy now. Kiefer Suther finally won an Emmy for playing Jack Bauer on 24!
Seriously though, it's about time these idiots realized how good he is. It sucks though that Jean Smart (Martha Logan) or Gregory Itzin (Presisent Logan) didn't win, as they were freaking great as well. Oh well, at least there's still the Best Drama Series award. EDIT: OH MY FUCKING GOD! It actually did win the Best Drama Series Award! This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Great for Kiefer and 24!!!! Some fun stuff for 24, taken from twentyfour.tv:
24 things you didn't know about 24 Written by CTU Sunday, 09 July 2006 1 Jack Bauer has killed 112 people over the five years of the show. Season 4, during which he dispatched 44 'hostiles', was his best ever; in the first season he managed a lacklustre 10. 2 Kiefer Sutherland heard that American college students use 24 as a drinking game, downing a shot every time Jack Bauer says 'damn it'. So he changed the script in one episode to have Jack say 'damn it' 14 times in one hour. 3 Another frat-house game is to monitor Jack's flouting of the Geneva Conventions. In season 2 he shot a key suspect under interrogation in the heart before beheading him. In season 3, he executed a colleague on the president's orders. 4 Jack's entry codes for CTU (Counter Terrorism Unit) are 4393 and Q22Q17 5 For season 2, a prototype script was written in which each (non real-time) episode would span 24 hours, but execs decided to stick to the original format. 6 During season 4 an incoming call number was shown on a character's mobile phone. More than 50,000 fans dialled the number - only to find it was real and belonged to one of the crew. 7 More than 20 lead characters have died in seasons 1-5. 8 Jack Bauer has actually died twice. In season 2 he was tortured, burned and tazered to death before miraculously coming round. In season 4 he was shot dead; then Tony Almeida injected him with epinephrine and he recovered. 9 Executive Producer Evan Katz once said: 'We make a lot of it up as we go along.' 10 24 was the first TV show to embrace real-time - the clock keeps ticking during ad breaks and there are no flashbacks. 11 Of course, it's not quite as simple as that. Three minutes are in fact gradually added to the timer during the ad breaks. 12 Almost all scenes are shot at head height. 13 We've never seen Jack eating, sleeping or going to the toilet. As a joke for season 5 he was filmed exiting the bathroom, eating a sandwich and wearing his pyjamas. It didn't make the final cut. 14 What might have been: 'The original iteration of 24 was that we were going to do 24 hours in the life of a wedding ... kind of a romantic comedy series.' (Creator Joel Surnow) 15 In the US, the Fox network had to screen adverts during season 4 episodes showing 'positive' images of Muslims, to counter charges of Islamophobia. 16 Everyone on the programme has to sign pledges not to reveal the plot. 17 Former presidential candidate and Republican Senator John McCain is such a fan of 24 he landed himself a walk-on part. 18 Blooper alert! The Californian presidential primary - the backdrop to season 1 - is held in March, not June. 19 The premiere was due to air in the US just one month after 9/11. Following the attacks, a shot of a 747 exploding was removed and the screening was delayed. 20 Jack's daughter, Kim, has been held captive in one form or other eight times. 21 Sarah Clarke was cast as Nina Myers on the morning filming was due to begin for the pilot episode. 22 Glenn Morshower, Kiefer Sutherland, Carlos Bernard and Dennis Haysbert are the only actors to appear in all five seasons. 23 To speak fluent Jack, use the following phrases often: 'Where's Kim?', 'Who are you working for?', 'Get down on the ground!' and, of course, 'Damn it!' 24 Fox commissioned two more series of 24 in May. A feature film will begin production next year, with parts to be shot in London. --------- Intersting stuff. I like the drinking game bit. xman25 I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Hey I knew a lot of those. They lied. I once thought Novick was in all five seasons with one of the seasons him being in for at least one ep, but I was wrong I guess.
I was speaking idiomatically. |

That was quite the interesting list. I, too, enjoyed the drinking game tidbit.
More importantly, when does Jack go to the bathroom? We can assume he doesn't eat or sleep for that day. But I don't think it's possible to go twenty-four hours without emptying the bladder. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Jack sweats all his pee out. It makes him more efficient.

During one of the many commercial breaks, or when he isn't in a scene.

Dunno if this is a good place to put this, buuuuuut... I have a couple questions now that I saw Season 4.
Season 4 Question:
Jam it back in, in the dark.
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.

1 - Behrooz was rescued by Curtis in a deleted scene
2 - Anderson's plane was shot down, there was confirmation of it after the incident. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Here is something I found on comixfan.com:
24: NIGHTFALL #1 Mark Haynes, J.C. Vaughn (w); Jean Diaz (a); Diaz, Joe Corroney (c) Presenting a special six-part 24 Season One prequel! In 24: Nightfall, future CTU agent Jack Bauer heads an elite Special Forces team sent to take down the mass murderer, Victor Drazen. But events in the war-torn former Yugoslavia quickly spiral out of control as the hunters become the hunted. The secrets behind Bauer's pivotal Operation: Nightfall mission are revealed here! Joe Corroney (Spike vs. Dracula) provides a special variant cover, too. *Covers will be shipped in a 1-to-1 ratio. FC • $3.99 • 32 pages ------------- Issue number #1 is scheduled to come out this November. xman25 I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Cool to see another comic coming out, and even better, some more stuff about Operation Nightfall. I still haven't even read the first comics yet, so maybe I'll read them all at once after all of these are released (I'm hoping they'll collect them together in a novel format like they did with the first ones, but I'll settle for individual issues as well).
Some more 24 news, the Season 5 DVD Set has been officially announced. The only thing I don't like about it is that of the 12 commentary tracks, two of them cover the same episode (not that big of a problem (especially after listening to the Prison Break ones), but I'd just rather have them all for different episodes). I was speaking idiomatically. |
Yeah Smallville has commentaries like that. And were there even commentaries on any of the other sets? I have them all, but havent watched them.

Just finished Season 5:
