Side note, I just hope the issue with Dana and her psych ex ends soon, I don't know how many more hours I can take of that annoying crap. Maybe Ms. Renee can go Russian Mafia on him :cool:

Me too. It's painfully frustrating to watch.

Oh I agree. It is unclear how this subplot will play a roll, but I'm certainly more interested in the main plot at this point. I predict that Dana is actually a bad guy... :shifty:

I mean, why else would she have falsified her identity!? Its not like she couldn't have gotten a good non-government job with a smaller amount of effort. I think that the russians put her there.

I dunno perhaps to get away from her obsessive ex? :p

I miss James Morrison's character, Bill Buchanan. He was, in my opinion, the "best" Director of CTU.

He was definitely the best one too. Except I really liked how Jack was the director of CTU in Season 2 (I believe).

The CTU director in Season 3 was also a very interesting character. I can't remember his name... but he had a lot of character depth that I liked. When he ended up killing himself because the terrorists demanded it was one of the more intense moments in 24...by far.

True. But if you falsify your identity for a job at CTU, you are looking at some serious prison time if you are caught... there has to be more motivation for the risk than "her ex."

Ah yes, Ryan Chappelle, who was the Regional Division Director (?), I believe. That was a brutal moment. :(

I'm the same way, although 24 earlier seasons had these other threads in them (like Chloe with her baby, Michelle and her over-needy brother, Kim and the psycho wife beating husband, etc.) But you're right, Renee is too hard core. "I'm not cutting of the bracelet." That is just cold! And Jack is the one saying she's gone too far! What she did was a classic Jack move!

True. But if you falsify your identity for a job at CTU, you are looking at some serious prison time if you are caught... there has to be more motivation for the risk than "her ex."

Agreed. Its not the easiest thing to do is falsify your identity and it not show up on a background check. There are a lot if other jobs outside the government where it would be easier to get away with. My thoughts she changed her name legally but technically only a very few people would need to know. But then that does not make for a very interesting story.

Brutal only begins to describe it. By far one of the most shocking things I've ever seen in a show.

Yeah, I agree. I don't think any other on-screen death has ever felt more real to me. And then how the count from :59 to :00 was in silence right afterwords...sends chills up my spine. God I love 24!

If the people working at (and with) CTU were to make the correct decisions every single time, 24 would lose its zest and there would be absolutely no excitement.

Their stupidity reminds me of Medium where Alison wakes up from a dream and her husband says dont worry its just a dream or the DA says "Alison, you had a dream do you expect me to believe your dream"...stupid crap like that after so many seasons just makes the show retarded, I feel 24 has reached that point. As for excitement, I think Renee (Jack 2.0) will add that.

I hate to be the one to say it but the opener was lack luster. The saving grace was freckles at the end. I hope this season picks up and quick.

With the introduction of a possible nuclear disaster (along with the "new and improved" Renee Walker), I'm quite certain that it will be picking up. :)

24 was definitely WHOA, just watched the 2 episodes from last night.

Oh and another WHOA moment, did anyone else get the quick server switch back to Atlas? I pressed refresh and i was in Atlas then 2 mins later it came back to here where i'm typing now. LOL

Come on man cut Bubba some slack. His specialty is shrimp not terrorism.

Haha, I didn't realize it was the same guy. That's awesome.

I liked the premier overall. Started a bit slowly, but the last little bit at the end was awesome. Every 24 season seems to start pretty slowly and then build up from there. I suppose that's why they have a four hour premier to begin with.

Renee's new attitude is pretty awesome, and it should definitely make things interesting for Jack to have an unruly partner for a change (unlike Curtis, Chase, etc who always listened to him no matter what).

But yeah, I thought that the whole sub-plot with Dana and her ex was pretty annoying. I love how he just happened to start causing trouble on this particular day of all the days.

Maybe this has been answered already and I'm to lazy to read through the entire thread.. I'm really confused about how long after season 7 this is supposed to be? I thought it was supposed to be only a few months after it? But in the show they seem to be talking years?

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
