Mary Lynn Rajskub @rajskub · 7h 7 hours ago Guy sitting right next to me. 'Have you ever watched the show 24?' Yes 'Has anyone ever told you that you look just like Chloe from 24?' Yes 'You look just like her' pulls up a photo. 'See there you are' that is actually me . 'Oh really? Ha my friends say I look like Jack Bauer'

That last scene is hilarious, and if they play it straight in an upcoming season the retcon will be even more hilarious.

To be fair, I'm certain nobody expected them to bring back Tony from the dead and dismissed early rumors just as easily.

Didn't plenty of people expect it, especially due to the lack of a silent clock (which was intentional)? And being injected with something that made his heart stop then moved out of sight quickly isn't very conclusive, compared to being nuked.

Killing Audrey wasn't overboard, it was fan service. Proof that 24 loves us and writes in mysterious ways.

They were never that consistent with the silent clock enough to know for sure if a character is dead or not - all the people who were "right" could just as easily been wrong. The writers only came out and said they left it vague after they brought him back. Josh Lyman posted:Anything to get rid of Oodrey was worth it.

I figured it out! The reason we never see Jack Bauer go to the bathroom is because he's constantly constipated, a side effect of his eternal love for cheese. That is why he's always pissed off and yelling at everyone. It would also explain his hatred of Charles Logan... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5v9i04XsqU

Sorry to necro the thread, but there's a rumour that 24 might continue without Kiefer. https://twitter.com/TVGuideMagazine/status/556522971074818048 I can see the show continuing without him as the star, Kate was a pretty awesome LadyJack and I'd be happy to see her take over the lead. If they do another season I hope they at least resolve Jacks story, it'd suck if it just ended with him going to a Russian Prison. I can't imagine his story ending with anything else them him dying in a hail of gunfire protecting Kim.

Yeah, there's no such thing as 24 without Jack Bauer/Kiefer Sutherland to me. If the show continues without either of those key elements, it will instantly be dead to me and I'll have no interest in seeing what they do with it.

What the hell is there to bring back for Prison Break. Everyone hated how it false-started for so long and the last like, two seasons were entirely unnecessary. Then there was the grand finale TV movie that got dumped direct to DVD.

It's kind of funny how the Tony DVD scene peaked our interest. If Jackless 24 becomes a thing, I guess it's like every other DVD mid-quel where it ended up not mattering. But why would they not have Jack? If we get more 24, it has to be with Jack, and has to be happy ending Jack.

I remember watching Season 3 and picking up vibes that they were trying to ease Jack out for Chase to lead the show. Thankfully, they must have got a note for Fox about the show's formula "Hands off!"

I'll preface by saying that I LOVED Prison Break but that story has absolutely nowhere to go. Seriously, it went off the loving rails that last season. It's done.

While watching the last season I was like "Hmm yeah I guess I can see them continuing with Kate instead of Jack." But now it's just like... nah. I'd have a hard time mustering up enough interest to start watching again if it didn't have Jack. And I'm pretty sure most viewers will feel the same way. I'm also still moderately upset that 24: Die Hard Another Day never happened. Especially since the last Die Hard movie took place in Russia, and the last season of 24 ended with Jack going to Russia. Of course, Die Hard 5 came out before Live Another Day, but... so close. (It sure as hell would've made DH5 better. What wouldn't have?)

I don't know, 24 without Jack would kind of be worth it just for when the JACK OUT OF NOWHERE moment happened, if they managed to keep such a thing from being advertised/spoiled.

I'd be down for 24 where Jack's the grizzled adviser who takes the backburner for most of it but definitely not 24 completely absent Jack.

Its weird - before Live Another Day I was totally on-board a reboot of 24 without Kiefer. And Strahovski really made a great impression. But now, at this moment, it just doesn't feel right.
