Re: 24 Season 6

From TV Guide:

Quote:
COEXECUTIVE PRODUCER MANNY COTO SAYS: Jack [Kiefer Sutherland] starts next season in a very different place than any season so far. Let's put it this way: I wouldn't be surprised if there's no CTU next year. CTU has become almost too comfortable, you know? "We need to carry out this operation - Chloe, grab Satellite X and get us a feed!" That's gone. We're pulling the rug out from under our characters. It's a pretty radical shift - a totally different context with a totally different villain. There will not be a ticking clock on a nuclear device. We're hewing much closer to real life: tighter, more personal, more difficult for Jack. There may even be a plot thread that doesn't take place on U.S. soil. In a sense, it's a reboot - in location and personnel. We're going to be introducing a new stable of characters, along with a couple of old ones. Jack's not living under an alias. He's found a place he thinks he belongs and a job he enjoys doing that doesn't involve the government. What's also refreshing is the choice of villain: it's not a Muslim terrorist. In fact, it's not a terrorist at all. And the character is fascinating, someone with a supremely dark past who's done something horrific. And whose ambition is to regain his stature in the world. I just can't say enough how exciting it is, it's going to be pretty damn cool.

Re: 24 Season 6

Personally I thought the lamest part of the episode and the whole season was the moment in split screed when Jack on the beach and his father on the oil rig were both starting into the distance, sharing some sort of Jedi connection.

Every time I see Cromwell, I still think of the farmer in Babe. I have a tendency to always think of an actor in light of the first role I see him in.

Re: 24 Season 6

I just got around to watching the finale on my DVR tonight. I'm torn whether it was more underwhelming than the resolution of the nukes story arc from a few weeks back.

Me too. I kept expecting to see a shot of his boat in the water. Did Jack not notice that there was a boat right behind ol' Dad?

I hope Bill and Karen will be very happy on their farm in Vermont. Maybe they can keep Cheng in custody in their barn?

True...that five minute storyline was handled poorly. Gregory Itzin deserved so much better.
