so, in the time that has past since season 6... has jack really had enough time to recouperate? Unless i'm confusing my seasons, i thought last season started off with him having just returned from being in chinese prison and being tortured regularly... first hour, he gets stabbed.. blown up, etc and keeps ticking.
i just was thinking he seems to be in top condition, very calm like the jack bauer pre-torture mode.
i like how the 2 hour "movie" really set up the entire plot line
I think you forgot about the Jack Bauer healing factor.
Tony was pretty good in this episode, I still don't think we can trust him fully yet... and I'm also reluctant to believe that Jack won't try to apprehend him later for his past crimes. This was more of a setup episode, next one looks like it'll be exciting. I was hoping for a bigger airplane crash though.
I didn't want Hillary Clinton to be President because something like this would happen. Madame President's refusal to stand down when the enemy is so capable of wiping all those people out is unacceptable, and totally reflective of America's need to establish dominance over the rest of the world. The lives that will be lost are not hers to sacrifice. That outraged Cabinet member had every right to say what he did, her foreign policy is reckless to say the least. It's time to explore other options. And Dubaku is about to fuck some shit up.

She has balls. That's all there's to it.
Stubborn, but has to make a stand to say "We dont negociate terrorists" which is a smoke screen anyway.
Haven't commented on this thread for a while, you guys keeping up with the show?
I'm still liking this season, and it seems like the first arc is over. Hopefully the following one will be at least just as good. I really liked how they revealed the mole, they fooled me within the episode with a bit of misdirection.
I think they could have held off a little longer on revealing the mole. They revealed it before the end of the last episode, but up until then I wasn't sure if it was "adam?" or genine garafalo's charactor.
i dont think the white house is going to blow up, but not sure how quickly the senators assistant guy will reveal himself either
Oh, just found out that tonight is a special 2-hour event. Seems like they're using it to start the new arc properly.
That's great news. I really like this season so far. However, nearly no one is refusing Jack anything this season, so we almost never get to see him convincing anyone or acting on his own, well, completely on his own..
I'm liking it, but I hope that the next arc is a bit...different. I mean, I'm all for the stock 24 stuff happening, but the 1st arc was a little too formulaic to me. Although Agent Walker's reactions to Jack's methods did kind of give the viewers and outsider's view as to how people see Jack. I'm not saying that his methods are wrong, but I could see how she could think that he's scary and callous. I just kind of see him as being a "big picture" type of guy.
Alright, finally got around to watch the episodes... and I thought they were excellent. I wonder how they're going to resolve this with Jack and the President being held hostage and the Vice-President not willing to act. Jon Voight's character finally showed up.
Who's dead?
I thought they were going to kill off Bill last episode but they conveniently decided that they needed to start collecting hostages... that would have been a good death for him.
From the preview of last weeks ep though, somebody dies when the fbi comes in...I think by jacks reaction its going to be the president or the presidents daughter.
Just watched last night's episode...
Man, Bill is dumb... doesn't he know that it'll take more than an explosion to kill Jack?
Sometimes listening to Moss is unbearable. Doesn't he know Jack has been right about everything all day? He's the only one who can stop it. I was wondering how much Renee Walker was going to go behind his back before he fired her.
I don't know if I'll enjoy this arc as much as the first. Juma was way more fun than Voight's character seems to be.

I'm glad jack is on the run though, I was starting to wonder how many times he could be arrested in a 24 hour day! I think the vice president has to be in on this whole thing, unless they just want me to think
@Azazel Don't you know the age old adage: If everyone listened to Jack Bauer the show would be called 2.
Jack is so good at beating terrorists that the only way to give him a suitable and suspenseful challenge is to force him to fight terrorists, while also fighting corrupted parts of US Government, non corrupted parts of the US government, and whatever local government agency is in his vicinity all at the same time while simultaneously trying to keep some sort of promise that restricts his behavior in some way.
I've noticed the last few seasons I've felt really underwhelmed by the second halves. They seem to be more contrived and silly than the first halves where there is an immediate threat that needs defusing before time runs out as opposed to the second half which tends to revolve around unraveling the plot behind the threat in the first half. Hopefully with the whole extra year to think about it they've come up with a way to keep this second half engaging, possibly by having Jack stay solo for pretty much the rest of the season.
The end of this weeks episode was good... I was thinking, what is he doing? there's no need to hide the evidence.... OH!! he's going to steal the truck with the same screw driver he just killed that guy with !! nice !
Hah, yeah.... killing him with the screw driver and then using it to steal the truck was quite awesome, right up there with him using the taser on a telephone. The Presidents daughter is a complete jackass. I guess Aaron needs to come back and smack for a bit.
I thought it was a good episode last night, though it got a bit slow towards the middle. The president's daughter looked to be a cool character when she was introduced, now I want someone to put a bullet between her eyes. Bauer got exposed to the toxins, so I wonder how that'll affect him for the rest of the season. Next episode looks awesome, we might have a war of sorts going on in the mainland.
Kiefer says he's on board for an eighth season:
