Kiefer Sutherland was interviewed by Entertainment Tonight Canada.
I said yes very quickly and then went through about six months of panic. “Oh my god, why have I opened this up again?” I was very nervous about starting again and would we be doing stuff that was at least on par, if not better, than things we had done before? And then very fortunately, within a few days and with a new crew here in England, I felt amazingly comfortable.
I think he’s colder and therefore in a very odd way, more frightening. You really do see it, he’s different. He’s someone that you might not be able to trust to do the right thing. And Jack Bauer’s been a character that you always trust to do the right thing. Oh gosh, there’s a line that I would love to be able to tell you, but I can’t!
Now halfway through the season, I can arguably say that this might be the best work we’ve done.
You have to always take these types of comments with a grain of salt, but that is a promising sign.

April 4, 2014 at 3:22 amRepetitive nature of the plot aside, it’s the broken promises every season that piss me off, and LAD is the worst of the bunch for that.
“Jack will be on his own, having to save himself rather than stopping a big international threat… except he’s with Chloe… stopping a presidential assassination… and later drone attacks ”
“The 12 hour format will allow us to jump around and put Jack on a plane… fuck it, let’s just stay in London.”
and more recently “Jack and Chloe’s relationship is now ruined for good… but it’s going to be exciting (haha) to get it back to normal”
Time was, I thought the writers were just careless, but I think it’s worse than that… they actually think what they’re doing is still cutting edge, amazing stuff. Scary.

April 4, 2014 at 10:39 amIn future, feel free to address any points that I made – how I make them is irrelevant and whether or not I take the show seriously or should grow up is none of your business mate. I’m here to talk about 24, not engage in pointless bitching.

On topic: The 24 Spoilers admin stated that there was a number of press industry staff that went and visited the cast of the ‘CIA headquarters’ in London. Do you know if there was more than already released?

April 4, 2014 at 6:14 pmWhat’s worse is that you actually went back… and made a compilation of my posts that upset you. That’s actually quite disturbing and pathetic. Have you tried ignoring them? Or are you just one of those people who actually enjoys being offended by small trivial things?
Anyway we’re done, reply to me again and you’ll be wasting your time. Get your fix of petty internet drama from someone else.

April 4, 2014 at 11:16 pmIf I may make a small suggestion, 24Spoilers, maybe you should amend the Comments Policy from prohibiting “excessive language (profanity)” to NO strong profanity… it might soften the discourse considerably and take the venom out of future conversations here!
This is a really exciting time for ’24’ fans, let’s not blow this occasion with invectives, vitriol, and/or excessive negativity… everyone has a point of view and sees things differently, let’s both remember and respect that, because if things continue as they are, I’m tempted to give the comments section here a wide berth and I don’t want to do that, alas, I fear I may not be alone in that thinking.
Over to you, 24Spoilers, time to lay down the law methinks…

April 5, 2014 at 4:14 pmThe constant bickering and hostility absolutely has to stop right now. I don’t want to see any personal feuds in future comment threads.
It’s already extremely time consuming trying to stay on top of the (literally) hundreds of spam comments each day. I do not wish to spend even more time censoring and/or deleting comments from legitimate users who aren’t following the rules. If things continue down this path I’m just going to disable commenting entirely.
I want this to be a fun and respectful community that can have interesting discussions and debates. Everyone please take just a few seconds to read the comment policy (located above the comment form) and make sure to follow those rules.

April 4, 2014 at 9:42 pmJust my respective favorite season because I like how the threats were targeted right towards Jack and his family, making it more personal and exhaustive for him in my view.

April 5, 2014 at 12:00 pmMy one sentence would be Palmer’s to Jack: “You threaded the eye of the needle.”
With all the mess, the difficulties and the threat to his life, he overcame.

April 5, 2014 at 10:33 amFor those who are already thinking the worst, what story unfolds has to be within the context of who Jack is, and what has gone before in his life. The information we have so far about what will happen isn’t enough to be able to tell what the finished series will be like. As with earlier seasons, so much depends on the quality of the characterisation, best exemplified I think in arguably the best season, No. 5, not just in the storyline.
I’ve been watching previous seasons on DVD for some time now, in the run up to LAD, and, however that turns out, it will still be something that’s really worth watching, just for the Jack Bauer character alone, and will doubtless be head and shoulders above the vast amount of meaningless drivel that passes itself off as drama these days.
Roll on May!
