There is a Season 8

WOO!!!

well basically, after season six, i heard that they had been contracted to do 2 more "days", so that would take it to season 8 also, and also a film on the side, but major issues on the script lol, trying to get that into a 90ish min film would be as hard as.

so i guess thats awesome that we get another 24 episodes, but you sort of know that Jack is going to survive right? i mean, 24 = Jack Bauer to be fair...

also, do you have a source confirming season 8 by any chance? not any spoilers or stuff, just confirmation? cheers rappy, you're a cool dude.

Yep I posted this a few pages back :)

Tedious? Are you a crack addict? Because only crackheads would think this season is tedious.

haha, nope... but i'm just thinking they are beating a dead horse by dragging 24 out to 8 seasons!

it used to be great because it was extremely unpredictable and main characters would die etc, but now that the 24 'style' isn't so novel, and audiences are actively expecting twists it just seems a bit meh..

having said that though, i've got to the stage now that because i've seen all the other seasons, you can't really stop so i'll just see it out :)

as an example, i was watching it the other night (the ep where they destroy the rockets) and pretty much the exact thought that went through my head was "ok, there are 6 or 7 hours of the day left, how are they going to tenuously think up a way to link yet ANOTHER enemy to the plot"

this season seems to have no proper flow, as if the "dubaku chapter", "juma chapter", & "hodges chapter" were all written by different people and then glued together

anywho, just my opinion! night night :D

Yeah, I agree with everything you said. But maybe the crackhead is me, because I really don't want the series to finish :/ I just think that it's very entertaining anyway, even now that we can suppose a lot of things. :) Nah, I just watch 24 and Lost. If I lose any of them, there's nothing else I can grab myself. :p

Actually, I think this season really was written that way. In fact, I think all of the seasons have been written that way, and it's like that for a lot of shows. Different writers write different "hours" of the show, and they have meetings on how they're going to tie in the different parts. It's like how a program is written by different programmers, but it's tied together at some point. I think it's pretty rare for "every" episode to be written by the same people on any show today really.

Originally 24 consisted of two primary story arcs, and I think that is what worked so well for it, but then it started deviating into a bunch of sub plots and, imho, this has affected the quality of the show. Season's 4 and 6 are generally considered the worst of what 24 has offered, and they're the worst offenders of the subplots. Season 5 was able to pull it off with great success, though, so it's not as if all cases of this are bad, it's just a bit much to have so many different catastrophic plots crammed into one season.

Looks to me as Tony was always on the bad side from the beginning but his plan was not to kill innocent people that explain why he did switch side a couple of time.

No, they explained it. Tony was always a 'bad guy'. He only helped stop the Juma/Dubaku/Hodges stuff because it wasn't part of the original plan. The plan was for Starkwood to make the bioweapon for Tony's group, not for Hodges to try and use it himself.

Dayum Tony that was cold. Real cold.
Yes, he certainly was! He was such a bitch in the first season (watching that now with my wife) and now he's this stone cold villian!

While I was surprised that they brought his character back "from the dead", I do like what they have done with him so far.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
