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.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
