Hiatus Pitfalls

The only sucky thing about the hiatus is that we have to wait 6 agonizing months for our precious 24 to grace our boob toobs again but there is another sucky aspect don't know what to do with the blog now that season 5 has ended.

Any ideas would be great!

Mandy, The Epitamy of Badass

dictionary.com defines badass as "A mean-tempered or belligerent person."

now I don't know if I would call her mean-tempered or belligerent just more of killing people when it works to her advantage and exploiting people's weaknesses for her agenda all the while sleeping with guys and killing them so she can escape into the cloak of darkness and looking smoking hot by the way now that's badass.

Now many 24 fans think Mandy has been grossly underused and I would be one of them I mean who wouldn't want that to grace your glow box every monday?

There's just something about her that even our precious Nina couldn't match now that would be fun who could kick who's butt Mandy or Nina?

Let's have some debate.

Jack Bauer's Set for New York

If Jack Bauer can make it there, he can make it anywhere.
Bauer takes in a Broadway show.

Producers for the hit Fox series 24 confirm they have been in talks with New York city officials about filming "some" of season six there. While no plot details have been revealed, executive producer Joel Surnow tells TV Guide's Michael Ausiello that plans are in the works for Bauer to visit the city that, like Bauer, never sleeps.

"We are in conversations about shooting some stuff in New York for [next] season," Surnow said.

If the show ends up moving to New York, it would mark the first time that Kiefer Sutherland's explosive federal agent would save a city other than Los Angeles (which needs saving, to be sure). In the previous five seasons, Bauer and CTU--the Counter Terrorist Unit--have had 24 hours to knock out nukes, vaporize viri, and bust baddies in and around the Los Angeles basin region.

It's unclear how the real-time concept of the show could handle a bicoastal adventure, or if the entire season would be filmed in New York. At the end of season five, Jack was literally "Shanghai'd" aboard a cargo ship by vindictive Chinese government agents, but show-runners already said there is no way they could work a Chinese kidnapping plotline into next season's 24-hour deadline.

In April, Sutherland and the show execs signed up for three more seasons of the series, and plans are underway for a 24 film. Fox has ordered a script, and if ratings for season six remain high, the movie is scheduled to be filmed between seasons six and seven.

Surnow also told Ausiello that fans can expect a return visit from the disgraced President Logan, played by Gregory Itzin, and his feisty wife, Martha, played by Jean Smart.

"We love them," he says. "We certainly want to try to bring them both back...they were just such fabulous characters for us."

The fifth season of 24 saw ratings increase 14 percent and featured Jack Bauer wearing a man-purse. If you missed out on it, reruns begin tonight on Fox, at 8 p.m.

Scour our Intel

Ok guys for those of us that saw the Season 5 finale let's try and figure what the writers have planned next for our fabled hero Jack Bauer.

It's hard to know for sure what the writers are cookin' up in those noggins of theirs but let's take a crack at it anyway.

I've heard rumors that season 6 might start off directly where left off so could it be a direct day to day season and start off right at 7:00 A.M. with Jack on the ship that would be interesting.

Guys start brainstorming.

It's Official!!

The 24 movie is on it's way...

Jack Bauer is going to the movies, and he hates it when you talk on your cell phone.

Variety reports that Twentieth Century Fox, the studio behind the Kiefer Sutherland action series, has signed deals with show creators Robert Cochran and Joel Surnow and show-runner Howard Gordon to create a big-screen version of the show. Cochran and Surnow will write the script this summer, while working on season six of the series, with an eye toward shooting the movie between seasons six and seven.

Whether or not the script gets a green light rests on the ratings when 24 returns next season. If the ratings are good and the film gets the green light to go into production, Sutherland has already stated he would be very amenable to reprising his role of federal agent Jack Bauer in a movie.

24 tells the story of Jack Bauer as he fights terrorists with--and sometimes without--the help of a fictional Los Angeles agency called Counter Terrorist Unit. The show plays out in real time, where one hour of the show equals one hour of the day, and each season is one day.

Cochran and Surnow say they would most likely change the real-time format of the series, instead allowing the film to play out over an extended period of time. Producers are exploring international locales such as London as possible backdrops for the film.

This season, 24 saw a 14 percent improvement in ratings. In April, Fox signed Sutherland to a $40 million deal for three more seasons of the show.

Summer Bauerscapade

Well with the Mind-Blowing Season Finale already aired all we have ahead of us is the mind-numbing summer programming and the agonizing 7 month wait.

What is a 24 fanatic supposed to do?

How about a Scavanger Hunt? Yeah! Something fun to do over the summer but I can't really think of anything to hunt for right now lol. So any ideas would be awesome.

Possibly some continuity errors, how many people Jack has killed or were killed when he was in the room? something crazy and fun to pass the void that is summer.
