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.

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.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
