April 16, 2014 at 8:29 amDon’t mind trailers but that 4 part might have given some plots away as I don’t know as I didn’t watch that 4 part, anyone can confirm if any plots been ruined by that?

April 17, 2014 at 11:13 amAfter Jordan Reed it becomes a lot harder to read but I think I make out “Belcheck”, then “Simone”, can’t really make out the next name (maybe “Gen. Coburn”?), and then “Marine #2” and possibly “Unnamed Sergeant”.
I can also make out a little bit of dialogue. Might be a little bit off but here’s what I got:
“EXT STREET – CHARING CROSS: Chloe, do you have him?”
“INT ABANDONED MALL – CAFETERIA: Chloe, I’m gonna need schematics of the embassy and a ____ ___ ___.”
“EXT US EMBASSY – I can’t, I have to get into the Embassy.”
So it seems like Jack is trying to get into the US Embassy for some reason. Most of the scenes today involve the presidential quarters / embassy which makes Kim Raver’s absence all the more puzzling. I think you’re right, something is definitely going on with that character. All of the series regulars are now accounted for except for her.

April 17, 2014 at 11:57 amAudrey being killed or gravely injured by Margot or Simone does make sense since she swore revenge against Heller. The only way to truly get him back would be to kill his daughter.

April 17, 2014 at 1:11 pmI’m kind of unsure about having another one since they were in both seasons 4 and 6. But, as long as things are fresh and original, I’m open to anything…

April 18, 2014 at 9:13 amFrom what we’ve seen with LAD, it looks WAY more original than seasons 6 or 8. So all I’m saying is that the writers should make things feel MORE fresh than they did in 6 and 8.

Fox put up screeners of #24. I’m once again considering watching this show. Can I catch up in time for the premiere?
@cantorpedia
Yes – Screener for 24: Live Another Day. Excited to see if (the) Jack (we loved before 24 got stale) is back! #24LiveAnotherDay
@Dorv
#24LAD Screeners? Yes please!
Hope we get some feedback soon!!!

April 17, 2014 at 1:28 pmis it someone we know? or simply someone from heller´s past that we don´t know of?
24 Spoilers
April 17, 2014 at 1:46 pmWe can assume that Heller was somehow responsible for the death of Margot’s husband (perhaps one of the drone strikes he ordered).

April 18, 2014 at 10:53 amI really hope it does return next year as 24 is brilliant and want it to return every year even though its a 12 episodes, better then a movie which will be over in 2 hours. its not long that!
Maybe if Tony doesn’t return in this new series, he could make a return next year if they is another series.
I hope this is not the last one, I am glad Jack Bauer is back :)

April 18, 2014 at 12:08 pmI remember them saying that the break they took between the end of Season 8 and now reminded them of how special the show is in today’s TV world. I can definitely see them doing another season, albeit probably at a slower pace than the previous 24’s if the ratings tend to be good. With all the marketing and promotion and the storyline which seems to be fresh and interesting, that too probably increases our chances of seeing another. But then some on this site have the attitude that ’24’ should finish with ‘Live Another Day’ with a great ending and an ending which Jack Bauer deserves.

April 18, 2014 at 4:56 pmIf a show is popular and profitable, it makes business sense for the network to renew it – regardless of what critics/fans may think of the quality. Ultimately it comes down to money for everyone involved. The cast and writers/crew members are usually more concerned about getting a larger paycheck for the next season rather than protecting the shows legacy.
So with that said, If 24: Live Another Day performs well I would expect to see another one.
Gerry Mander
April 18, 2014 at 9:50 pmI don’t think ’24’ went on too long as a series, it ended how and when it should, but in hindsight and somewhat paradoxically to what I’ve just stated, if I had my way to do it over again, I would have kept Joel Surnow as showrunner and HoGo as head writer, ended the series after a sixth season (a much, much better one than what ultimately ended up onscreen), and then made a big-budget movie right on it’s heels to finish the saga overall… I’m a big believer (if not always practioner, ahem) of quitting while you’re ahead, and as XAM rightly surmised in another post, had ’24’ ended whilst still perceived to be at the top of it’s game, in ratings and content, the writers would be gods among men… just look at how Vince Gilligan is royally feted!
All that being said, I’m not sorry it lasted as long as it did, and I’m certainly not sorry it’s still going, because based on some of the lay reviews we’re hearing from some people who’ve seen the first two episodes of ‘Live Another Day’ (see below), we may be in for something really, really special come May… and who could ask for more than that?

My first thought on the #24liveanotherday premiere – prepare for a ton of @Y_Strahovski. #24isBack
@cantorpedia
One criticism about #24liveanotherday is how annoyingly cutesy it is when revealing characters from past seasons.
@StaffaRoadTrip
Just screened the first 2 new episodes of #24. Great to have Jack Back
@StaffaRoadTrip
Just screened 1st episode of #24. After covering #Graceland it’s nice seeing @GbengaAkinnagbe as a good guy (so far).

“You probably think I’m at a disadvantage. I promise you I’m not.” Second hour of the #24liveanotherday is much more compelling. #24isback
@cantorpedia
That said, this is pure fan service. It’s not a fresh or evolved take on 24. It’s just an opportunity to check back in w/ Jack Bauer.

April 19, 2014 at 8:41 pmThe Audrey stuff is simply speculation based on almost no information. Kim Raver barely tweets (her last one was March 12th) and nobody else on the cast/crew has mentioned her in the last month either.
That doesn’t necessarily mean anything at all of course. Perhaps Kim Raver was filming and nobody mentioned her. Or perhaps Audrey got on a plane and will be absent for a little bit. There’s a lot of possibilities.
Trevor
April 20, 2014 at 9:42 amWell, I hope she doesn’t die… Especially so early on.

April 21, 2014 at 10:28 amSo unless I missed a few, I guess the lack of Kim Raver mentions/tweets isn’t that out of the ordinary. A whole month of filming went by before Cassar posted that photo of her for example.
