Sorry, I'm not gonna watch season six because I just know Jack is not going to die. That, and season five and its stupid, contrived drama drove me crazy.

Maybe I'll check it out on DVD if I learn that Jack actually *does* die this season.

Keep in mind that to fly from China back to the US would take what, 10 hours? Imagine how fun it'd be watching Jack Bauer on an airplane for 10 hours! Great idea! :p

Good, one less idiot posting in our 24 threads. Has there ever been a season where Jack will die? Doubtful. You're in the minority pal.

I guess you missed the memo last year where Keifer signed on to do 24 for 3 (i believe it was 3) more seasons after season 5.

For some reason MPC in Opera can't view it for me... had to use ****** IE 6.

Anyway, looks cool. I agree with SoulAssassin about Jack's return to the States though, I definitely expected it to be more dramatic.

I had thought about that, I think they're going to have to address it in some other way because no way can they bring Jack in halfway through the season.

My bets are on they already negotiated for Jack's return before the season and E1/E2 is where Jack finally arrives. That's the only logical explanation IMO.

But no it would be cool to do the black ops. Just unless they plan on killing a bunch of Chinese people in China, the show would have a totally new take.

Thanks for proving my point. The whole entire trailer is all about Jack having to give up his life in order to save the country. Thanks to purbeast0's post, I now remember that Mr. Sutherland has at least three more years left in him as Jack Bauer. So, in other words, we all know that Jack is *not* going to die when the trailer tells us otherwise. So, where's the drama in that? THERE IS NONE!! Why watch it if you already know the outcome or if they're just making it up as they go along?

Your not the only one. I'm kind of bummed about that myself.

The fact that the terror attacks take place on the same day as his arrival would be too much of a coincidence although it wouldn't be the first time the writers stretched the limits of credibility.

What would *really* kick ass is if they had Chuck Norris and the Delta Force bust Jack out.

C'mon now, you know Chloe can overclock a plane remotely in about 5 minutes so that it can fly from China to California in about 25 minutes. Duh.

Yep, the writers are pulling crap out of their asses and putting it on the show. What was the point of having the Chinese kidnap Jack at the end of season 5 if he's going to be released immediately at the beginning of the next season?! Granted, I don't *know* if he's released during the actual first episode, but it still looks like no effort went into getting him back.

Um, then why watch any TV show? You know it's going to have a happy ending. Or the case is going to be solved. Or someone wins the prize at the end of the game show and is crowned champion. You act like everything else in life is so unpredictable. Well duh, Jack's going to live. Get over it.

What about season 1? I was blown away when Teri died at the very end - now THAT was unpredictable. It's too bad Stephen Hopkins - the original exec. producer - left the show just after it was getting good; it's gone downhill since.

At least the deaths in a show like Lost don't seem contrived...

Then what about last season? I don't think you were expecting Tony and Michelle to die. Or President Palmer. You take away Jack and you have "The Chloe Files". No one is going to watch 24 (except for maybe you) if Kiefer Sutherland's character dies. He *makes* the show, period.

here's the link to the stream. skips the rav4 stuff but still has kiefer kissing our collective asses:

also, i don't watch it to see if jack dies or not. i watch it for jack issuing death on other people and the Jack-isms--
"You're only conscious because I don't want to carry you."

(Un)fortunately, I have no argument there.

i just hope this season isn't as bad as season 5.

don't get me wrong, i liked season 5, but it was just so over the top and so predictable and was just all in all the worst season of them all. it was just so cliched.

Maybe the terror attacks also started before Season 6 and has been ongoing? Guess I'll have to wait and see. :)

doh, looks like the plotline that could halt the downward spiral of 24 isn't happening...
