Bearded, Chinese-imprisoned Jack Bauer is more kick ass than regular Jack Bauer.

I haven't watched S5 yet, as I am addicted to TV on DVD. Even with a DVR, I cant get myself to watch it because I like to watch multiple episodes at a time and I just cant do it. It sucks that they always wait untl Dec before releasing 24 on DVD.

OK, I soften my stance of "total fox". But she does look good.

I can, my wife can't. I'm not ready for the new season yet. Although I couldn't tell much from the trailer I saw.

What happens when two really big celebrities want to guest star on one of TV's hottest shows?

The show turns them down.

Both Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller wanted to appear on FOX's 24, but producer Joel Surnow turned them down because they are "too recognizable. They'll take you out of the reality."

The show has added a lot of new cast members this season, including Rick Schroder, Peter MacNichol, Regina King, Eric Balfour, Powers Boothe, and Michael Angarano, so maybe a big name star (or stars) would put the entire feel of the show out of whack.


What do you think about this? Do you think that having a former Friend and a popular movie star would take viewers out of the story, or do you think that viewers are smart enough to just consider them a character in the show?

I agree, it would totally take away from the show to have them on it...good job on their parts.

First four episodes now available through bittorrent: eztvefnet.org

 

[jenna2891]

my brother downloaded them and we're watching them tonight.

Just finished. Jack is back (and still a badass), but the magic has not returned (even with unprecedented events happening this season). I think I'll do what I should have done with the last three seasons: watch the dvds.

 

[nathan]

It was nice to see Dr. Bashir back on TV.

 

[abomb]

my brother downloaded them and we're watching them tonight.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Agreed.

Can't wait to experience it in HD on Sunday and Monday!

Jack is back!
