Kiefer Sutherland has revealed that he tried not to use his catchphrase on 24.

The actor, who played Jack Bauer on the show, explained that he avoided saying "dammit" when he realised that it was part of a 24 drinking game.

The challenge involved drinking a shot every time Jack used the phrase. However, Sutherland admitted that when he first heard about the game, he said the word more often.

"I did one I thought would be funny," he told The Sun. "I said 'dammit' four or five times but thought, 'That's going to kill somebody'. I actually tried to curtail the 'dammits'."

The final episode of 24 aired in the US earlier this week. The show continues in the UK on Sunday at 9pm on Sky1.

What a joke, the producers said that the show will come to a conclusion and that we wont be left hanging which is exactly what it didnt do, what happened to President Taylor, what happened to Logan, Suvarov, Jack etc........................ i know they left it open for a movie but damn what an unsatisfying ending.

While it wasn't crazy intense it was a nice finale. President Taylor resigned, Logan is a vegetable, Suvarov likely bailed before **** hit the fan, and Jack, well Jack is fleeing the country, probably somewhere in Europe, hello 24 movie plotline. The only thing they didn't really clear up was whether or not the news about the russian conspiracy got out, which we can pretty much assume it did. The finale could have been better, but it could have been a whole lot worse. It was a fitting way to end the series.

There was one thing that bothered me. Logan kills Pillar right before he shoots himself. Why? I mean, sure he was an ass but that wasn't necessary, especially considering how loyal he had been to Logan. Seemed really out of character.

Thats a very good point about him killing Pillar. Guess they just wanted that character wrapped up.

The only reason why logan killed pillar is probably cause he wanted Jack dead badly and did not want pillar to told president taylor where was jack.

Dunno why he would hide himself in Europe since the Russian will be looking for him.

Here is an idea for a 24 movie

How about they combine the world of 24 with the world of Taken. I think both projects are owned by fox.

I guess the only issue is that his wifes new husband use to be the director of CTU, but wouldn't it be awesome to see Jack and Liam Neeson working together.

That'd work well... Russians kidnap Kim before Chloe can get her put into protective custody / WitSec.

Maybe that's what we'll see in '12: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598754/

It's make sense as Liiam had a extensive background and was one hell of a badass. But they wouldn't want to split the screen time I think. Both can hold their own. Although the premise would be good if they kidnapped Kim and Jack had to go get her.

And just as Jack is about to save her, she's dead. :devil:

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Windows 10 IoT LTSC is supported until 2032, Windows 11 LTSC until 2029. So oddly enough the Windows 10 version is supported longer.
    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By thartist · Posted

      This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
