I don't want to believe this will be the last season :no:

Oh it really needs to be.

As much as I enjoy 24, Season 6 and 7 were quite watered down/poor in places, at least compared to good the earlier seasons were.

-Someone asked what the theme of this season would be since last year's was "Redemption." Mary Lynn Rajskub said it was "make lemonade and totally party."

-Katee misses beating people up after playing Starbuck. She plays the new boss at CTU and is engaged to Freddie Prinze Jr.'s character. The clip they showed of the first episode of next season showed that her character was, indeed, a lot girlier than Starbuck.

-Freddie Prinze Jr. mentioned watching the show "with [his] wife" and everyone started cheering for SMG. He said, "Oh, yeah, I forgot she's big here."

The 24 panel at San Diego Comic-Con had Keifer Sutherland, Howard Gordon, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Katee Sackhoff, Freddie Prinze Jr., Anil Kapoor, Brannon Braga, David Fury, Manny Coto, Evan Katz & Sean Gallery in attendance today.

As you can see it was a large contingent and a great mix of production crew and actors.

Of course Keifer was the man. When he came out the hall erupted, but Katee Sackhoff drew a close 2nd in the volume of applause. It was great to see, not to mention Katee looking just spectacular.

There are SMALL SPOILERS within, but I don?t think they?re show killers at all.

Here are some of the items touched on in the panel session for 24:

Keifer Sutherland at Comic-Con 2009

Keifer: They?re going to make Jack?s life worth living, hence the introduction of Renee and Jack?s daughter last season. In other words we?re going to see Jack in the front part of season 8 being happy. But alas, it?s 24, and we know that?s not going to last forever.

Seasons 7 & 8 of 24 are somewhat connected.

Katee Sackhoff is feeling naked in her new role because she needs a gun! Someone, get that girl a gun.

Mary Lynn Rajsub will be back as Chloe.

At this point, we watched a quick preview of hour 1 of day 8. Wow, it looks promising.

Season 8 was tough for the writers to start up as they went through 4 different renditions before settling on it.

Keifer is very involved in the script writing, but usually after the first 2 episodes. Scripts are generated for the first 2 episodes to get the ball rolling, so to speak.

About the preview clip: Keifer said ?Don?t be alarmed. We still blow sh*t up.?

Asked about a movie, they said it?s possible, but they?re not going to do much in that direction until they?re seeing more of an end to the series and then they?ll start looking at the possibility of a film franchise.

Katee Sackhoff and Mary Lynn Rajskub from 24, San Diego Comic-Con

Katee Sackhoff was hesitant to chat about whether she actually will be toting guns, for fear of giving too much away.

One attendee asked, ?When will we see Keifer?s dad, Donald?? Keifer replied ?He?s made a 100 some odd movies, you can see him any time you want.? But on the serious side, he doesn?t see that happening, though in season 6 it came real close but a scheduling issue kicked in.

Keifer, in closing showed his gratitude to the masses by saying:

?Thank you so much. this last 8 years have been the best 8 years of my life. Can never tell you how grateful I am.?

This season is more grounded to how he sees things in life. The threat for season 8 centers around a peace conference in the U.N. with the U.S. and Iranian presidents being threatened - and the rest goes from there.

When opportunities present themselves, there?s always a threat in 24.

24 Premieres on Sunday, Jan. 17th and Monday, Jan. 18th.

24 star Kiefer Sutherland says the new season, premiering in January 2010, is "the most realistic storyline I think we've done since season one. It centers around peace conferences taking place at the UN between the president of Iran and the President of the United States, which I believe is possible within the next few

years. Obviously there will be a lot of people who will want to fight that. This is about fighting off that threat to peace."

With four new episodes already in the can, I asked Kiefer's co-stars to clue me in on one special scene they've already shot.

MARY LYNN RAJSKUB (CHLOE O'BRIAN)

"Chloe is not up to speed in the new CTU, which is very different for her. Katee Sackhoff plays my new boss (Dana Walsh), and she kind of pats me on the shoulder and says, 'Don't worry?you'll catch up,' which is the worst moment for Chloe ever. Everything's changed at CTU and my bosses are looking at me like I'm not doing it right. But then something happens in the story where I think I know some information which pits me at odds with my bosses." Mary Lynn adds that the new New York City-based CTU looks "kind of like

a spaceship. It's sleek with a lot of glass,

and underground with a tunnel you drive through to get into it. I feel kind of like Batgirl. And our computers are under glass and there's a huge screen with all the information on it that everyone can access."

FREDDIE PRINZE JR. (new CTU agent COLE ORTIZ)

"There's a moment between my character, who runs field ops, and Katee's character, Dana Walsh, who runs the tech side of things. They're engaged and it's difficult having a relationship at work when the stakes are so high. They're having some problems that I really can't get into. You see that somebody's holding things

back?maybe she has a secret which he has to concern himself with. He's a Marine and he bases

everything on having a plan with a coordinated attack. There's an interesting dynamic on how he's going to deal with her."

ANIL KAPOOR (Foreign Leader OMAR HASSAN)

"I have one scene in a car with my bodyguard, Tarin. Suddenly I'm sending messages to my country to say people (behind an assassination attempt on his character's life) have to be taken to task and arrested. I can sense that the bodyguard is uncomfortable and the way that the scene progresses is very dramatic. I speak about the peace process, my younger brother Akbar and my family. It's a catharsis for my character." By the way, Omar's loved ones include a daughter, a wife?and a girlfriend!

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
