Here is what I've been waiting for, 24's season 7 preview. Yes, the rumor of Tony Almeida's return are true but he's...........

Is it just me or does this season's plot look like the last Die Hard movie, Live Free or Die Hard ? (which I liked by the way)

Season 7 begins January 13th @8:00 on Fox

There has been another addition to the cast, Rhys Coiro who plays "Entourage's" eccentric "Medellin" director Billy Walsh.

Supposedly he will work closely on a counter-terrorism task force with Janeane Garofalo in the upcoming season.

Janeane Garofalo has just signed up to star opposite Keifer Sutherland in the the seventh hour of 24.  This should be a great addition to the ever changing cast.  It will definately be interesting to see how her and Chloe interact with that same deadpan attitude.  Due to the change in format filming won't start till September.  Due stay tuned..........

Well this season has got to be the worst season ever and the finale did nothing to help it out.  Well here's a recap of the last two hours;  It starts out with Josh in the helicopter with Doyle headed to drop him off with Phillip for an exchange with the circuit board.  Jack is trying to get anyone to listen to him to warn him against dealing with the father.  He gets a hold of Karen Buchanon who then gets permission from Lennox to go over the v-p's head and enlists her husband Bill (who was just fired by her) to help Jack!  Are you still with me on that trail of people!!!  In the end Jack (of course) was right and there is no circuit board and Doyle gets blown up in his face.  They get Josh and go to a oil rigger while waiting for the submarine to pick them up to go to China.  In the meantime the president has given an order to blow up the oil rigger so that the circuit board and all who are on it will be gone.  Russia is satisfied with that plan and are linked up in real time to make sure it happens.  Jack and Bill steal a helicopter and plan to save Josh before the air strike hits.  When they arrive Josh has just shot his grandfather but Jack doesn't let him kill him.  Knowing the air strike is on its way Jack leaves his father to die but gets Chang and Josh on the helicopter.  Jack leaps at the very last second and catches the rope ladder and rides home that way till the end when he jumps off to be left alone in the ocean.  Karen Bucannon was arrested for her involvement in getting Jack out of custody but was later rescinded with the help of Lennox coercing the v-p to let both Buchanon's retire.  Lennox gave up his blackmail tape that he was holding over the v-p's head.  Back at CTU, Chloe wasn't feeling well and passed out, low and behold she is preggers with Morris's baby!!

The episode ends with Jack breaking into Audrey's fathers home, and basically telling her in her catatonic state he is at a crossroad and can't be with her anymore.  Jack goes out and stands with his gun in his hand looking at the ocean pondering life.  Tick Tick Tick....

It just has to get better next season or is this it?  Has it been played out to long?  All good things must come to an end right?  Problems I had were they never got the circuit board back, who knows if Philip is really dead could he have possibly got on that sub?  Chloe pregnant was a stretch!  Where will they go with that they both work all day long!!  Saying goodbye to Audrey was also weak, she deserved better than that.  Will Doyle be back now that he is potentially blinded? 

Well lots of questions and a long way to go for answers.  Here's to hoping the next day has more impact.  See you in January tick tick tick.........

Breaking news, Fox promises to "Revitalize Ailing 24".  Well thank God because I was starting to think we were the only people bored with this seasons day.  The president of Fox Peter Liguori, stated that "None of us were satisfied with 24 this season".  He is also promising "a significant change in the show next year that it would make it an even greater highwire act".  Well Halleluiah to that because I think this season is just a wash.  This episode was supposed to be the big pre-cursor to the grand finale but it just left me bored to tears even reading the paper as it went on.  The best part was when Lisa starts beating up the spying boy toy, but even after all that the Russians knew that they had been compromised.  All a big waste of air time if you ask me!  Or how about the part where Nadia takes out the Chinese guards by herself or when Jack saves the nephew/son with one gun when they had a lot of guns!!!  Basically Jack has Josh and he tells him about the conversation with his grandfather and at the same the chinese now have to tell Philip that they no longer have Josh!!  Well Phillip calls the acting president and now wagers with him to get his grandson and a passage out of the U.S.  Doyle grabs Josh and takes him in a helicopter with Jack being subdued trying to get to him.  So now we are at the final "explosive" two hour finale and although I will be watching it, I will be wondering if Hiro saved New York.  Ahhh Thank God for Tivo!!!

I don't have 10 questions/thoughtZ this week for some reason.

How severely late am I??  Well in my small defense I did one on last weeks hour and it was erased when I closed it!!  Alright well to get you geared up for the last two explosive(they better be) hours here's the recap of the last two hours;  Basically Jack was imprisoned for most of that hour and Doyle was trying to extract info out of the poor catatonic Audrey, when they sent in this doctor who wanted to do what ever means to get the info.  Doyle stood up and became a good guy and told Nadia to get a set and to take control!!  Doyle lets Jack break custody to reach Audrey, he brings her out enough to have her tell them where she was being held.  Nadia finally tells the doctor to take a hike and she apologizes to Doyle who told her that when she needed to she did the right thing!  On the other side of things the v-p's chicky Lisa was totally having a fling with another guy who was intern telling the Russians everything!!  That hour left us with Heller coming to visit his daughter and telling Jack to take a Hike because everything he loves Dies!!! 

Hour 2, was definitely better: Lisa was going back to her boyfriend with bogus info for the Russians. Poor Chloe was all upset with her break up with Morris, Doyle and Nadia are now giving each other the eye and Milo is noticing all of these changes.  Marilyn and her son are back in the fold when all the sudden the chinese storm CTU and start shooting the guards they ask for who's in charge and Milo stands up and is SHOT right in the forehead!!  Now that was an eye opener!!  Come to find out they are there looking for Jack's nephew(son).  Jack almost had them in the airducts when he and Marilyn are captured, Josh gets away but is brought back at the news that they will shoot his mother.  Of course who was behind all of this??  Philip( Jacks father), he is fixing the circuit board in return of his grandson!!!

1.  Is this day over yet????

2.  If the big reveal is that Josh is Jack's son that will really suck!!

3.  Is everyone who starts off mean eventually end up being nice?

4.   How about the president?  Alive, Coma, Dead.

5.  What is Philips end game?

6.  How many hours can Jack really handle?

7.  Not a question but this was the worst season EVER!!

8.  Still love the show, When's the movie coming out?

9.  Will Audrey come out of it in Love with him still??

10. Milo getting shot reminded me of old seasons, will more die tonight??  Tick, Tick, Tick......

For all the 24 fans who have been angry at this season, The exec producer tells calendarlive.com they will reinvent it for the fans.

Jack Bauer "won't be flipping burgers" next season, but exec producer Howard Gordon says the show will get revamped. "It won't be a musical or a half-hour," he says. "I've got a couple ideas, none of which I could even begin to share responsibly." Gordon adds that "it hurts to hear the criticism ... I don't dispute it's been a challenging season to write for us. But it's reinvigorated our determination to reinvent the show. This year could be seen to be the last iteration of it in its current state."

Transition hour number 2!!  What another waste of a great hour, it just seems to me that they are trying to kill a few hours with worthless filler.  I know, I know not every hour can be jam packed but this was just pure filler.  Just to recap the vice president who is now acting president is a slime in every aspect,  Jack is acting on his own against CTU for the hundredth time to get Audrey back.  Karen Bucchanon is forced to fire her husband Bill as the head of CTU for his involvement in letting Fayed go a few years back, even though there was no need to keep him.  This is strictly a political play to lay blame for the 13 thousand that were killed because of him.  Bill chooses Nadia to takeover till they send someone new over, she then takes over the Jack situation.  Doyle was able to figure out how to track Jack and is outside waiting for the exchange to go down.  Jack calls Buccahnon's phone and tells him where he is and for the millionth time Jack gives his goodbye's to everyone, which seriously he must give at least 3 times in one day!!!!  Just as he is giving the chip over Doyle intervenes and Jack gets shot and can not detonate himself and the chip.  The chip gets away as Jack is getting arrested. Audrey is brought back in and she is just  a mumbling mess and you can tell something is wrong with her.  So the race is on, only 4 more hours left to get the chip, president and Jack back!!  Lets hope this starts to pick up because I chose this over Hero's last night and that was a huge decision!!

1.  Will the acting president's ways get in the way of his job?

2.  Chloe's fighting tactic was the best!!  Will they work it out?

3.  Will Nadia end up with Doyle?

4.  Who is the mole?  They mentioned it on the previews.

5.  What did they do to Audrey?

6.  Will Doyle end up being good?

7.  Will the next 4 hours turn back up?

8.  Who will the new director of CTU be?

9.  Will the Bucchanon's marriage last?

10.  How will Jack get out of custody this time?

All I can say about this weeks hour is that it was definitely a transition hour.  A switch up of the finishing of the nuclear weapons crisis and a search for my supposedly dead old girlfriend hour.  On the whole I did not care for the episode, as exciting as it is to have Audrey back would the president "Really" give Jack that kind of permission.  To keep you up to date, the Chinese are holding Audrey and have been for months as an insurance card to be played later on.  Well that time is now and they want the Russians defense plans that are encrypted on this chip that they want Jack to steal.  Well problem number one the army now has control of the weapons, so Jack convinces them he needs it.  He has enlisted Chloe to help him covertly but Morris finds out and she finally tells Buccanon who then has Doyle stop Jack.  Jack calls the president and he ok's his plan to kill himself to protect this info once Audrey is safe.  Meanwhile the President asks the V-P to resign and he agrees but not before the President collapses and is deemed unfit for the presidency!!  The  V-P rescinds the President's approved plan and CTU tries to have Doyle take Jack back into custody.  Jack has none of that and drops Doyle off to go on with his plan solo.

1.  Why would they hold Audrey in custody for so long, when they had Jack?

2.  Why would the president ever allow this plan?

3.  When is the father finally revealed as the mastermind?

4.  Who is the CTU mole this year?  There's always one.

5.  What will happen to Lennox now that the V-P is in control?

6.  If the V-P is finally out of office will he lose the young chicky?

7.  On the whole how will this day compare to the others?

8.  Will the President make it by the end of the day?

9.  Will next hour be better?

10.  Can Jack save Sanjaya in this weeks vote off?  tick ... tick...     

Not bad for amateurs.

Oh My God, what a great episode!!  Now a day all you here about is how no shows give you the almighty answers to the never ending questions.  Well not the case with 24 they answered so many last night that it even makes you think where else can you go?  Well to keep you up to date President Palmer knew all along what he was doing (the nuclear attack was a bluff) which sooo worked!!  The caravan transporting Fayed and Jack was under attack by a militant group to rescue Fayed, everyone including Jack was killed.  Well it was just a setup by CTU to get Fayed to lead them to the weapons.  So brilliant, but then Fayed asks for a gun and a call from the higher up in the group (who had just been taken into custody).  They monitor the call but the guy slips in an alert to Fayed and he intern kills everyone in the car.  But thank God for Jack he tracks him down and slips under the sanitation truck cape fear style and single handedly rescues the stolen weapons!!  How's that for closure in one episode of many more to come!!  At the end of the turmoil Jack receives a call from no other than Audrey (his supposedly dead girlfriend), well all I can say is here we go again on another great ride!!

1.  Will the president survive this day physically?

2.  When Jack rescues Audrey will she tell us exactly what happened in the bank (now defunct nine)?

3.  Will Milo lose Nadia to Doyle?

4.  Will Jack take a minute to himself?

5.  Where in the world is Jack's father?

6.  What about Chloe(poor showing of her this season)?

7.  Why did Rick Schroder add the y back?

8.  The sister in law better get a paternity test now if Audrey''s back.

9.  What rules will Jack break to have his true love back?

10.  He has saved the world again but will he be able to save himself?

This is a video from the old 70's Star Trek show and this woman looks EXACTLY like Chloe from 24. this is crazzzy!

First, sorry I missed last week, Jamie was traveling and by the time we watched the show it was Saturday night.  Then this week I tried to do my civic duty and go to my first town meeting, so again we had to catch up with it on tivo.  With that being said alot has been going on in the last two hours, just to recap the president was in an induced coma, the vice president was getting ready for an nuclear strike, Nadia was being detained as a mole and Jack was bringing down a drone plane.  Karen asks the president's annoying sister who surprisingly was not that annoying to wake him up to stop the strikes.  Sandra agrees to let them wake him up, obviously the vice-presidents not loving that idea.  Gredenko put out word that he needed new specs drawn up and Chloe intercepted that call and they were able to get there in time to catch Gredenko.  Although they had to use the guys autistic brother Brady ( who I fell in love with) all Brady wanted to do is see his brother.  They set up the meeting with Gredenko and were able to catch him without hurting Brady (Yeah)!!  Doyle was told that Nadia was not a knowing participant in the breech, but that he won't tell anyone he told him because of him covering for him in Denver.  Then the same guy tells Milo that Doyle is covering it up, but in the end he was not and Nadia was cleared and put back on the floor.  Milo and Nadia share a kiss ( doesn't everyone need a little romance during a national crisis)!  The episode ends with the president stopping the strikes.  Hour 9 starts off with the v-p invoking the 25 amendment to deem the president incompetent.  The president gets a shot of adrenaline so he will not look weak even though the Dr. tells him the risks to his blood pressure.  They basically have the vote and it is a tie but the v-p needed the majority so the palmer wins, but then Daniels fights it saying Karen had resigned.  They take the fight to the supreme court and Daniels assistant Lisa says she will lie for him and he agrees.  Lennox goes to see Daniels and reveal that he has bugged the room and knows what he was going to do.  Lennox gets him to stop the fight and Palmer wins!!  Meanwhile Jack has Gredenko in custody and he sets up a meeting with Fayed.  They shoot a tracker into his arm and he goes to the meeting place.  He meets up with Fayed and he is furious that he led them to them and Jack moves in to get him and all he finds is his arm (Gross).  They end up following the blood trail to a bar and in there Gredenko gives up Fayed.  The last we see of Gredenko is him falling into the water and dying.  Also at CTU, Doyle has Nadia checking on Milo's computer to see if he was the reason for the breach (which he was) but he covered it up.  The ending of the show was the best, President Palmer orders the nuclear strikes!!!! 9:59..tick tick tick.

1.  What is the president thinking?

2.  Is the adrenaline going to keep him going?

3.  Will they bring Brady back (I loved him)?

4.  Why did Doyle help Milo out without him knowing?

5.  Doyle(Good or Evil)?

6.  Is Sanjaya behind the madness???

7.  Where did they get the tools to cut off his arm?

8.  What will Lennox and Karen do now?

9.  What did happen in Denver?

10.  Will Jack get thru to the president?

The U.S. Government have named their new pilotless drones "Project Chloe". It was named by Homeland Security Department Michael Chertoff himself, after the character on his favorite TV show Chloe O'Brian. The project will use drones flying 65,000 feet above the nation's biggest airports to protect planes from being shot down by terrorists.

We start hour 7 with Jack being checked out by a medic, he has found that Jack suffers from a rib injury and is sent back to CTU.  We really don't see much of Jack in this episode but what we do see is great!!  Jack bumps into his sister in law ( whose husband has just died mind you) and she explains how she still has feelings for him.  Jack tells her he was involved with someone before his capture, and she inturn tells him that Audrey Raines was killed in a car crash in China!  Jack is furious and gets the file to go  over it, he is convinced she was murdered and vows to avenge it.  In the meantime they have launched the drone and CTU was following it till goes off the screen.  They can no longer track it and Chloe reports that CTU has an inside leak.  Doyle quickly points out Nadia because she is Muslim, Milo freaks out on him and Buchannon breaks it up.  The leak in the end is from Nadia's computer, Doyle calls security and Nadia is taking off the floor and put into holding.  Doyle is the interrogater but Nadia denies it all,  They find the drones where abouts and Milo goes into the interrogation to stop it.  He tells Doyle that he knows how much he likes torturing people from his time in Denver.  All the while in Washington the vice president is up to his shady agenda, he has stated that they will launch an attack if the drone is ignited.  His secretary Lisa is seriously more creepy on this show than when she played an alien on Invasion.  Karen is back on the job and is the vice-presidents biggest enemy for his plan.  Even Tom Lennox is not for the plan and Karen knows it was originally his plan for the detainees but can see the doubt in Tom's eyes.  Karen visits the president but the dr. says they have put him in self induced coma for the brain swelling.  We glimpse the sister but never get involved with her, not so much for next week I fear!!  Jack and Doyle get the location of the pilot of the drone and attack them.  Jack is able to shoot the pilot before he lets a hand grenade go off.  The drone's target in San Francisco, Chloe guides Jack to try fling the drone safely to the ground.  Jack is somewhat successful but the nuclear device cracks open and when the first responders respond they have a high radioactive level.  The Vice President still orders the attack on Fayed's country in one hour 7:59 tick tick tick 8:00p.m!

1.  Is Nadia the leak?

2.  Nadia was using Milo's information, is Milo involved?

3.  Will Karen be alive at the end of the day? too much of a risk to the v.p

4.  Is Audrey Raines dead?

5.  Will Jack start the search for her truth this season?

6.  Is he seriously going to start dating the dead brothers wife?

7.  What happened in Denver with agent Doyle?

8.  Do you think Nadia will be cry like the little girl on American Idol?

9.  What about ex-president Logan's health?

10.  Is the sister Sandra going to annoy me next hour?  YES!!

This was one of the best episodes this year, we were introduced to Agent Mike Doyle who as we all remember as little Ricky Schroeder from Silver Spoons, is taking over Curtis's position.  He is not  a very well liked agent as Milo has worked with him before in Denver.  Jack is still locked up in the Russian Consulate and Markov has given the order to kill him.  In famous Jack Bauer style he saves himself with a belt and is now on the run. Markov views all of this on his security camera and orders a lock down.  Jack finally finds a phone and has enough time to tell Morris about the bombs but not their  where abouts when the phone line is cut.  In the meantime at CTU, Agent Doyle is bossing everyone around and Milo is not having any of that so they exchange words.  Buchanan's plan is to seize the consulate but doing that would be an act of war on our behalf.  Ex-President Logan has an idea to call his ex-wife Martha and have her call the wife of the Russian president Anya.  We are then brought to the retreat where Martha is living to help with her "problems", where we see Aarron Pierce walk past the secret service agents and into Martha's bungalow.  Inside there are pictures of Martha and Aarron together and she is delighted to see him.   Logan calls and she will not accept the phone call until Aarron tells her it pertains to the Suverovs.  She is not ready to help and gives the phone back, but Aarron says he will try to get her to cooperate.  Logan travels to her and it is the first time in over two years that the three of them see each other, Aarron does not shake Logan's hand and there is definite tension between the two of them.  Inside the consulate Jack takes two people hostage and promises not to hurt them unless he can get a satellite phone.  At the white house Tom Lennox gives the ok to look the other way but when the vice-president wants him to lie to the Arabs he is on the fence.  In a meeting with ambassador, Lennox lies by saying he saw Assad plant the bomb and now they are blaming the muslim community.   Martha is visibly unnerved by Logan's presence and starts asking him if he is uncomfortable seeing her with another man!  He is and she starts ranting at him,  Aarron tries to calm her down but it doesn't work.  As they wait for Anya to get on the phone Martha goes to put the dishes away  and stabs Logan in the neck!  Chaos ensues and Aarron calls for a medic.  Martha is now handcuffed and wondering out loud why seeing how Logan was the worst criminal in history!  They make sure she is ready to do her job and she does but Markov will not surrender.  Suvarov gives Buchanan the go ahead for the attack and absolves them from any repercussions.  Agent Doyle attacks at the same time Jack gets a phone and ambushed.  Caught in the crossfire is the two people Jack took hostage and one is hit. Jack tells Agent Doyle who he is and where Grendenko can be found, at the same time Markov calls Grendenko and Fayed and tells them he was under attack and to get out of there. Markov gets out a gun and is shot, Doyle tells Buchanan and he pulls up the satellite feed for the Mojave desert. At 6:59 the ambulance is racing down the street and Logan calls out Martha's name and his heart starts to fail.  Tick Tick Tick  7:00pm... Now for the 10.

1.  Will Agent Doyle be a problem to Jack?

2.  Was Markov going to kill himself?

3.  Will President Palmer be back in any capacity?

4.  Will Jack Bauer take out Sanjaya?

5.  We are teased about a mole, who will it be?

6.  Will Tom Lennox keep his mouth shut about the attempted assassination?

7.  Did the vice president order the hit?

8.  Muriel from last season of Invasion is now on as Lisa, Is she still an alien?????

9.  Is President Logan dead?

10.  Will Jack save the world????

Are Palmer and Eli the same person? this website compares the two. Here are two samples.

Well let me start off by thanking all my loyal fans for the overwhelming support during my recent ankle injury.  Thanks especially to the staff at Bostonsportz.com, the CEO who pinch hit for me, Mike for calling 911 and trying to calm me down, my husband for doing EVERYTHING and barely complaining and the Wambacks for Christo's!!  With that being said I have watched Alot of television in the last 7 weeks, more than even I care to discuss.  Unfortunately alot has been my kids tv shows,  I have seen more Berenstein Bears that I could ever imagine possible.  They also made me read every book they have pertaining to those pesky grizzly bears.  Some people worry with such a severe injury that you would become addicted to all those drugs, not me I got addicted to Vh1's I love New York!!  I so said I wouldn't' t watch this show (of course before I was bedridden for 5 weeks) but the guy whose nickname was Mr. Boston was a riot and he sucked me right in.   But onto the topic of 24,  Gotta say didn't love it this week, even I thought a little boring.  I so saw the whole vice-president covering it up a mile away.  The whole consulate thing has been obviously done before(Hello slow boat to China).  I am a believer that this will all work into something incredible like it always does, every episode can't always be so intense.  Well here's my 10...

1.  How the hell is Jack going to get out of this?

2.  Jack cut off Markov's finger! How would they not maim him right away?

3.  When will we find out that Jack has a son?

4.  Now that the president is hurt, gear up for the sister!!

5.  What's going to happen to Nadia when they implement the new plan?

6.  Now that the guard was shot, who will get word out about the planes?

7.  Will Reed stay on the administration?

8.  Will Tom rescind his statement?

9.  Will Morris stay sober?

10.  Will Jack save the world?

Jack takes on the great Goonie Chunk!

Wow, this week we learned,  that former President Charles Logan had only been placed under house arrest at his retreat in Hidden Valley, California after he brokered a closed door deal with the feds where he pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice for his role in President David Palmer's assassination, as well as his involvement in the nerve gas canisters last season. Great deal for him! Now the 10.

1. Interesting to find out Logan said that he had connections to Gredenko, from nerve gas plot two years ago.
2. Logan said he had to meet face-to-face with his contact, Markoff. Inside the Russian consulate. Where the Americans have no jurisdiction. I think that Logan is going to lure Jack into the Russian consulate and then stay there, where he can't be prosecuted or apprehended.
3. Finally President Palmer showed some anger talking to Logan before granting his release.
4. Turns out that weakling Reed is the one who has to do the deed.
5. During rehearsal for the speech, Reed planted the bomb, disguised as a handheld recorder, underneath the top of the podium. However Assad quickly noticed the device and shouted, "Bomb!" just as it detonated and everyone in the room dove for cover.
6. Who survived? Palmer? Assad?
7. VP Daniels, who had been in favor of Lennox's plans, takes over. He supposedly didn't know about this assassination, but i'm not to sure about that.
8. Bad news is that with hr brother down Sandra might be back.
9. What will happen with Tom Lennox?
10. What was that device Gredenko was unloading?
