FOX's 24 - Page 36 - Blu-ray Forum

blu-mike · 05-19-2009, 04:05 AM

I know its early to start this but we already got a start date for day 8!

It was also announced that the eighth season of 24 will return to the FOX schedule with a two-night, four-hour premiere as part of a special extended primetime on Sunday, Jan. 17 (9:00-11:00 PM ET/PT), immediately following the premiere of HUMAN TARGET. The next installment of the Emmy Award-winning series starring Kiefer Sutherland will unfold in New York City, amidst the shadows of the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations.

Looks like season 8 may be the last since jack has to"survive one more day"

i hate having to wait that long to see Jack kill someone

but then i love that we get uninterrupted seasons

STARSCREAM · 05-19-2009, 04:10 AM

Well, for starters I can hope they pick up the pace on this supposed last season and make the finale not suck (cough, season 7 , cough).

It wasn't that bad

Could have been better though

dcowboy7 · 05-19-2009, 04:24 AM

Great day to start....there is an NFL playoff game on fox that day at 4:45pm so "24" & "human target" will get a great leadin.

jabawonky · 05-19-2009, 05:16 AM

I actually disagree with most people here about this season finale.
I have recently watched every episode (within the last 2 months) for the first time. I found this finale to be the strongest. We all know jack is not going to die and is going to come back for some major a** kicking in season 8 and then eventually the movie.

The scenes with Tony talking about his unborn son and jack talking to Renee were some of the most powerful scenes in all of 24 (IMO).

kndy · 05-19-2009, 05:20 AM

After watching every season of "24", it was the first time I found a finale underwhelming.

It wasn't bad, it just wasn't what one would expect in the final minutes of a season finale for "24". Then again, because I have been teased with cliffhanger "24" finales, I was highly anticipating some sort of final twist/cliffhanger.

johnjayb · 05-19-2009, 05:21 AM

i honestly believe this was the worst season of 24 so far...

jabawonky · 05-19-2009, 05:29 AM

my view on the awesomeness of this season is based solely on charcter development.

The only other finale that hit me this hard was season 3, when jack was crying in his car. It was the first time that he expressed true emotion, even after terry died in season 1. Every other finale left us with him being captured, running, or okay with everything he has done. AKA, anticlimactic because we knew he would be back asap.

This season was the first one where it left jack in a vulnerable state, begging for forgiveness. One can not overlook that when judging this season.

Very true! This was the frist season that Jack really did seem vulnerable @ the end.

it hasn't been the worst season so far, that would be season 6 by a mile, the only redeeming factor about season 6 was Jack's rant to Heller at the end.

Geezer00003 · 05-19-2009, 10:54 AM

I'm sure season 8 will not start up where season 7 ends.
Weeks or months will have passed or another 2 hour movie will bridge the gap.

$.02

SPH · 05-19-2009, 12:13 PM

I liked this season and thought the finale was good, but damn a complete sopranos ending

miked924 · 05-19-2009, 12:28 PM

Finale was ok, cliffhanger of Jack's fate was weak because we know he's not dying here. Renee trying to be Bauer-ish was a little cheesy. I'll look forward to re-watching the whole season sometime over the summer

Yes. Alan Wilson is the head of the organization. He stayed hidden for so long by having many layers of protections and covers and operatives, etc. Jack's father was most likely on the same level in the organization as Jonas Hodges. And of course Graham Bauer worked for his father. So while it was Graham who had direct contact with Logan, he was operating under Wilson's orders, probably funneled through his father.

ScarredLungs · 05-19-2009, 01:18 PM

What do you think happen in Season 8?

Here are a few of my thoughts....

1. CTU is rebuilt in NYC (i've heard)
2. Jack becomes the head of CTU and Chloe and the other chick work there
3. Agent Walker becomes the head field agent (Like Jack used to be)
4. Jack is crippled from the disease

Any other thoughts or ideas...?

Exactly. After sleeping on it, it really wasn't as bad as we may have thought last night, it just felt very ordinary.

Aside from the unborn child stuff I really enjoyed the Tony/Alan Wilson thing, the reveal of his motives was predictable but cool. I think maybe shuffling the final scenes around would have really helped the impact of things. Kim/Jack in the hospital THEN show Agent Walker going in to torture Wilson, that would've been a much stronger note to end on.

My favourite endings...

Season Five: Jack gets kidnapped
Season Four: Jack fakes death
Season One: Jack discovering his wife/Nina
Season Three: Jack breaks down
Season Six: Jack gets closure from Audrey
Season Two: Palmer gets attacked
Season Seven: Jack in hospital, Walker beginning Bauer transition

Seriously, despite being on the bottom it was good, but relative to 24... a below average ending. Compared to other TV (this one shat on Prison Break's finale) it was great, compared to 24... below average. There.

Chordata · 05-19-2009, 01:51 PM

Worst finale I've ever seen. That's fitting though because, for me, it was the worse season of 24 (though to be fair I never saw season 1).

Hopefully they'll come back strong "tomorrow."

REally? wow! I do not hear that too often. What about this season did you not like? AS for me, I really enjoyed this season.
