24

[Chief]

As if a day of outstanding Football were not enough, the new season of 24 debuts tonight and tomorrow!

Jack is back...

;D

[Chief]

1. The only reason Jack gave Nina mouth to mouth in Season 2 was because he had to kill her himself.

2. When a convicted terrorist was sentenced to face Jack Bauer, he appealed to have the sentence reduced to death.

3. When bad things happen to good people, its probably fate. When bad things happen to bad people, it’s probably Jack Bauer.

4. Jack Bauer never retreats, he just attacks in the opposite direction.

5. The city of Los Angeles once named a street after Jack Bauer in gratitude for his saving the city several times. They had to rename it after people kept dying when they tried to cross the street. No one crosses Jack Bauer and lives.

6. The 2007 budget for the US Military covers Jack Bauer, two pistols and four billion rounds of ammunition.

7. After Season 6 of 24, the Chinese will be on the Endangered Species List.

IS FOX SET TO BLOW THE NUKES ON '24'?
Sun Jan 14 2007 18:14:34 ET

As Washington continues to raise concerns about terror threats on The Homeland -- a recent CIA report outlined a scenerio of possible "series of explosions using 'low charge' nuclear weapons" -- Hollywood and FOX-TV are set to up the ante with the new season of 24!

Few outside of the 24 set know the exact details of the new season unfolding, but studio sources claim producers are pushing hard to take it radioactive this time -- and keep it there.

"Time to wake the country up!" a top FOX source told the DRUDGE REPORT over the weekend. "I do not think there has ever been TV done like this, the viewer is going to be completely riveted."

The source claims executives are prepared for any fallout from local municipalities that may be on the receiving end of plot turns and twists. How many cities 24 puts on 'nuke alert' is unclear.

FOX has set a highly-controversial espisode of 24 to air Monday night, opposite NBC's GOLDEN GLOBES.

In 2002, White House officials questioned the timing and release of PARAMOUNT's action movie SUM OF ALL FEARS -- a movie which depicts a nuclear bomb unleashed on an American sporting event!

One senior Bush official, who spoke to the DRUDGE REPORT at the time, claimed the movie crossed over the line of civic responsibility and commerce.

Developing...

:o

[karma]

Jack saved the day and I was surprised to see the brother as President but again it's TV land!

[Chief]

I thought the part where Jack bit the guy's jugular out, (and spit out the hot chunk...) was particularly telling of how fragile Jack's temper is going to be this season...

"Don't make me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry" ...Bruce Banner (aka "The Hulk")

;D

[Chief]

So.............

Nuking LA is a bad thing because...???

;D

[karma]

Chief, they ain't done yet. More to come and I hope Jack can hold his cookies!

What I've Learned: Jack Bauer
Counterterrorism Expert, Los Angeles

http://men.msn.com/articlees.aspx?cp-documentid=1628457&GT1=8991

F**k diplomacy.

Actions speak louder than words. Though shouting can also be effective.

If you shoot a man's wife in the knee and he still doesn't give you the information, he's bad.

Revenge is the cruelest trick. I've seen it taken out on others, I've been victim to it, I've even done it myself. But it doesn't change anything, and it doesn't bring comfort.

Trust is the key to survival. And by trust, I mean getting out of the way and letting me do what I need to do.

The only thing harder than racing to stop a madman from releasing a deadly virus that will kill thousands of people is doing it while simultaneously trying to kick heroin.

I've been beaten, kidnapped, gassed, and shot at, but the most terrifying thing I've ever been through was facing my daughter after I made her believe I was dead.

I eat a lot of bananas. They're a good source of vitamin B and potassium. They're also easy to take on the move.

Love is a privilege.

If you have to trust someone, make it a quirky computer genius.

If I say "dammit," either something bad just happened, something bad is about to happen, or I'm going to do something drastic.

Any man can make a mistake. It's what he does to remedy that mistake that shows his character.

You better know who you are before you go undercover. If you don't, you could easily lose yourself.

Always carry at least one spare fully charged cell-phone battery.

So many times when I thought there was no more time, there was.

When interrogating a suspect, I've often found it effective to ask the question loudly and repeat it several times.

Remember, terrorists use the phone as much as we do.

In the event of a highway landing, always fasten your seat belt and return your chair and tray table to their upright and locked positions.

It's all key cards and thumb drives these days.

If the president of the United States ever orders you to shoot your boss in the head at point-blank range in cold blood, take a deep breath, ask God to forgive you, and just do it.

Without conscience, a man becomes his worst enemy.

Sometimes it's necessary to create a believable diversion, even at the risk of others thinking you're an ***hole.

A cell phone can sometimes be used to activate a secondary detonator on a terrorist's explosive vest regardless of how many minutes are left on your plan.

Dead terrorists can often be effectively used as human shields. So can live ones.

Bureaucrats want results but never want to get their hands dirty.

The safety of the people I love is worth any sacrifice. Even their trust.

Some people don't deserve to die, but that's not my call.

Serbs have a different word for everything.

If you don't have a Taser gun, the wires from a lamp will deliver the current needed to shock your subject just enough to get him to give up the information you need without doing any permanent damage.

Sometimes you have to do the wrong thing for the right reasons.

You can't save everyone.

If you see me running down the street, it's probably a good idea to take cover.

Don't piss off the Chinese.



Chief, I thought you would enjoy this article. I laughed so hard on the last statement!

[klhatch]

There has been so much talk of the series 24 here on the blog that I decided to tune in last night to see what all the hoopla was about. I watched the first 30 minutes and turned the channel. Sorry, I didn't get it. I thought it was just another car chase, gun fight, shoot em up movie. If you want to watch a good series try watching House

[Chief]

If your first exposure ever to 24 was this season, I understand your feelings on it. 24 is one of those shows that you have to have seen from the start, in order to fully appreciate the content...

And thanks for that article karma! I read that to my wife, and her only question was: "Did Maureen al Dowd write that?!"...

She was close, it came from Esquire magazine... ::)

;D

[karma]

I have to agree with Chief, this is one you must follow from the beginning. We got hooked a couple of seasons ago and found we wanted to see what we missed so we went out and got the DVDs of those past seasons. We now do a '24 night' when there is nothing on the tube. We are also doing the same with a couple other shows, Vegas and Battlestar Galactica!

[Chief]

I haven't updated this in 3 Episodes, so obviously a lot has happened....

I need to start a new Poll: Who is the biggest SOB? Jack, his Brother, or Dear Old Dad??

Tough call, huh??

I think we may find out....

;D

[karma]

My vote goes to Dear old Dad! Who is behind this whole mess, kills one son and attempts to kill the other besides we haven't seen
what he is about to do to the grandson or DIL. Let alone the President?? Can't wait for this to go on DVD so we can watch this season again!! To much action to watch this all in one sitting. Remind me not to get anyone a power drill for a gift! ;)

[Chief]

But let's not forget that Jack's brother was the one pushing the buttons of the President last season, and was ultimately responsible for getting Jack sent tot the Chi-Comm Gulags....

Like I said, it's hard to choose between the three of them!

And what does this say about Mommy Bauer??!!

What a fun childhood those boys must have had!!

;D

[karma]

Oh boy, it's Prison Break and 24 night!! Plus I don't have to get up early so I can watch them back to back, best get my popcorn ready!! ;D

[Chief]

So do ya think we'll see another nuke go off??

I'm betting we do...

:o



http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v645/SeniorChieftain/boom.gif

[karma]

Some body better save the President first!! ;D The 'Boom' is a given. :-[

Just saw the commercial on tonights' show, not a pretty site!! President down and 'Boom!!'

[Chief]

In case you didn't pick it up....

The actor playing the Russian Ambassador, who is being held hostage, is John Noble. We last saw him in his role as Lord Denethor, Steward of Gondor in "The Lord of the Rings" "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King".


And let's have three cheers for Martha Logan for finally slipping a shiv to that weasly SOB she's married to!!

;D

[karma]

Martha Logan did a great thing for her country!! ;) Sure hope the President wakes up soon and stops all this back stabbing.

[karma]

Dang, they need to get that VP out of that place!! Here we go again Jack, watch your back!

[Chief]

YAH! I was wondering just where they were going over the past few episodes, but now it's pretty clear; although I am not convinced that there isn't still another nuke loose out there someplace...

I like the way they brought Kim Raver back in too... ;D

[karma]

Way to many twists and turn, one is starting to need a scort card here!! Just like real life, right??

[karma]

Chief, got your snack ready?? Things are going to heat up tonight.

[Chief]

yepper! Tonite is going to be one of those memorable episodes.......

;D

[karma]

Jack had those nice braclets on again!! If you didn't see just how one sells out another to save their own a$$ in goberment, this is one to watch!! At least Kim is safe or is she off the deep end?? Will Jack be able to bring her back??

[Chief]

yah! What did those ChiComm bastards do to Kim??!! Jack won't be happy about that....

[karma]

A little basket case of mind control, watch out for Jack!! ::)

[Chief]

Jack just had that shrink by the throat.....I don't think he realizes just how lucky he is to still be drawing breath...

And are the Chinese coming for Morris next?? Will Chloe hit the field to save him??

;D

[karma]

My bet is Morris better hide and what is with Kim's Dad?? Jack should of nailed him when he had the chance, Kim is going to need Jack to get back to reality. I loved how the VP got slammed!! Bring back the President!!

[Chief]

Yah, this ain't over by a long shot. These guys are known for season-ending twists, so get ready for it....

[karma]

Where's Jack?

[Chief]

The 2 hour Season Finally is underway!!

Will Jack's Father survive this season?? 

What about nephew Josh?? 

If another nuke does go off, will it be in the trunk of the Chinese Ambassador's car?? 

And has Kim gone off permanenetly to La-La Land??

Will Ricky Schroeder survive his next encouneter with Jack, after kidnapping Jack's nephew Josh??

And what will Jack do to the Veep for ordering the op in the first place??

So many questions....

;D

[karma]

Well I'm betting Jack's Dad will be back!! Ricky Schroeder will be back as someone needs some love in her life if she is going to keep this all together. Jack saved the day but do you think they Gov will allow him to peacefully go off?? The old Senator is right Jack will not allow the calls to go unheard when his Country needs him and Kim will come out of La-La Land just in time to save Jack again. Just maybe the Veep has a heart and just is now getting the picture that is one seat that shouldn't be taken lightly?? Bring back the Pres.!! Now we wait until Jan. 2008 for the next season, what will Jack pull out of his bag of tricks? Looking forward to adding this season to our collection as we are all Jack fans!

[karma]

Cute Chief, We are probably going to start watching some of the previous seasons as some of us here need a 24 fix!

[Chief]

I know....I'm thinking seriously about ordering the frst 2 season on Netflix...

[karma]

Hahahahahahaaaaa, we own ours and love every minute of them. Ya get tired of those reality show and just pop in a 24 and grab some popcorn!

[Waterbuffalo]

hehe thanks for the blender pic and the SSL reference.. .Going to see if I can find when the next show is going to be on. Have not seen it for about 6 months.

[Chief]

It isn't offical yet, but I hear that in addition to a Female President, the main terrorist character this year is going to be a "female" too...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v645/SeniorChieftain/Rosie.jpg

:o



;D

[Waterbuffalo]

Sooo... Your going to actually have some fun watching Chief? :-)

[karma]

DUI Jack????

[Waterbuffalo]

oh my.. Didn't see that picture... Is that a male rosie idol worshiper you photoshopped Chief?

[Chief]

That's her...

[Waterbuffalo]

Looks like Jack Bauer is one of the more favorite guest views on Clarkblog Chief..

[karma]

Buff, you mean you aren't a Jack Bauer fan?? I have my Jack Bauer for President T-shirt!! Hoping that Santa brings me season 6, as I've been a good political gal this year?!!??

[Waterbuffalo]

No, not really.. Jack Bauer's actor is now in jail on a parole violation...

[karma]

Yes Buff, there are a lot of actors/actists finding the steal bars of life. It's just a show, like make believe that is close to life??

[Waterbuffalo]

Sorry Chief and Karma, 24 with an actor screaming and yelling isn't my cup of tea. But going round and round this morning posting was a fine piece of entertainment I'd say.

[Chief]

Kiefer is in the can for his second DUI...

[Waterbuffalo]

I thought it was a parole violation for the first?

Interesting he got caught for another dui..

[karma]

Buff, have you watched the show at all??

[Waterbuffalo]

Several times Karma.. This is just not much type of show.. Sorry but 24 so looks like so many of the 1980's shows of its type.

[karma]

Oh so you are more a reality show watcher?? Or a good western?? I see Lonesome Dove is now playing??

[Chief]

;D

[Waterbuffalo]

Karma, I watch what suits me.. There is no general genre I have a special feeling for. There a lot of different shows in many difference genres that are good. Just don't care for 24..

[Waterbuffalo]

Bumps reminder of television program for those who sacrifice one our of mind control per day to watch it.

[Waterbuffalo]

Any new 24 since kiefer has been in and out of the pokie?

[karma]

http://www.fox.com/24/

Here is where you can find the answers. We are waiting for Prison Break to return this week and caught the Lonesome Dove last night. We are in the process of watching the last season DVDs of 24 to get our fixes.

[Chief]

Because of the writers strike which has delayed the start of just about everything on TV this season, the Producers of 24 have decided to forego this season completely, and will kick off the next season in January 2009.

That's right, a year from now...

:p

[karma]

What a shame!! Well I guess we can always view all the DVDs?? I was so disappointed in the last Prison Break and now I find out that and Cane isn't coming back. I am sure tired of the dumbing reality crap and Trump has hit a new low in my book.

[Waterbuffalo]

I'll do one better on the both of you.. Not turn on the television for two months..

Ahhh, that better for my brains and eye balls..

[Chief]

Did I hear correctly tht the schedule for the next season of "24" will start in November??

??

It's been so long....

[Chief]

Sunday, November 23rd....the 2 hour Season Premiere of "24" on Fox...

mrgrn

[karma]

I heard the season starts in Jan but the 2 hour special in November will keep us Jack fans happy?

[Chief]

That's just a special?? I'll have to pay closer attention to the commercial the next time it's on. No doubt they will play it during the football game today...

mrgrn

[Waterbuffalo]

Sunday, November 23rd....the 2 hour Season Premiere of "24" on Fox...

<bumping> Just wanted to bump this again for Sunday in about two or three weeks. On Sunday football, they kept pushing this 2 hour commercial during the seattle versus philadelphia blow out.

[Chief]

yah....this appears to be a 2-hour special that is a direct lead in to the regular season when it starts in January...

In any case, it's Jack Bauer....and you can bet Jack don't vote Obama...

;)

[karma]

No Obama, he has a new Lady Prezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

[Waterbuffalo]

So will this be competing with American Idle that starts its run in January?

[Chief]

Tonight is the night that the two hour "24" special runs. This will apparently set the stage for the new season of "24" in January...

This will pre-empt Sunday Night Football in oour house, so you can see we do indeed have our priorities straight...

;)

[Chief]

Twenty minutes....

mrgrn

[karma]

Typical Jack is back with the twists and turns!

[Chief]

yah...the set the stage pretty neatly for when the Season picks up in January...newly inaugurated president and a nasty little uprising building on the Dark Continent. We'll see where thy go with this, but it will be hard to top the exploding nukes from last season...

;)

[karma]

I think we are seeing some of the behind the scene dirty deeds already. Now where were they pouring that cement at? Poor Jack is coming back in cuffs?
