'24' Season 8, New York (The Final Season) -- Caution contains spoilers

I love 24! I wonder if they can keep the format going though. I mean after a while I hope they can still keep it fresh. Many other shows have gotten to around six seasons and then started to flounder. Let's hope the same doesn't happen for our beloved 24.
Also, possible spoiler: I think that Jack and the good guys, might, just might, win! I don't know though! :p

I'm waiting for the season that they put Arnold Schwarzneggar as president. The Governator on 24? Tell me that wouldn't be awesome. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'm awaiting season 8 to start. Season 7 was actually pretty good. I wish it was the season after 5 though, since season 6 suuuucked.
 
If anyone wants a refresher, the last episode of season 7 is on Fox.
 
Ok let the fun begin.

First off, I don't trust the blonde reporter chick.
 
Chloe's the new bad-ass. She put Bauer in his place!

Starbuck's got the new crappy side story this year. You know, the one just happens to fall on the day the terrorists attack... She was very girly as opposed to Kara Thrace. I'll be expecting for her to jump in a cockpit or slam shots with Chief every ep.:D

The new CTU head's an idiot. But knowing this show, he'll redeem himself over the next 22 hours. I remember not liking Bill Buchanan for a while either.

And then there's Freddie. I thought they needed him to kick some butt from the outset to really establish him as "tough-enough" for 24, but instead he's the CTU head's bitch. Oh well. Maybe tonight he'll shoot somebody or something.
 
Pretty boring 2 hour premier. There better be some action tonight.

It felt like a good start to me. The big question is obviously the ending since this is supposed to be the last season. Will Jack get the happy family ending that they are setting up?

I read that the decision on whether or not it is the last season hasn't been made. I expect it to be the last season but it isn't certain.
 
Chloe's Macbook?

Anyone else notice Chloe seemed to have a different/new Macbook?

It seemed to be a clear plastic shell with a metal lining, black keyboard.

I know Apple pays for product placements on the show, wouldn't surprise me if they were filming with prototypes. The season will be on well after the release of the new products, so I could easily imagine they were filmed prior to public release.

It makes me wonder about the tablets they were passing around as well...orange iSlate perhaps?
 
My Thoughts-

I have seen every single episode in each season; numerous times when something seems far to simple, it means we are going to have a complex ending. Here is my "current" theory:

Hasan is being assassinated for singing the peace deal (I know thats obvious but humor me). He is being killed in the US because it will prove that the Americans cannot be trusted and that he was naive and manipulated by the West. His brother is a part of the conspiracy because he does not want to give up their country's Nuclear ambition. The guy who blew up the chopper and shot the wife was hired by the brother to carry it out. The brother used the reporter to divert the authorities attention from the real threat. Hasan's wife is bitter and knows that he cheated on her and just wants him dead.

CTU is no longer a separate entity of the government. It run by politics and is strictly monitored. The boss is just a politician and wants things done his way and is just a prick. Something will blow up in his face and he will have to adjust his tone with Chole.

While I know everyone hates Kim (me included) I understand her logic. She rather have her father alive and at peace with himself than guilty about not helping and unable to live with himself.

Did anyone catch the city that was mentioned? It sounded like Bahrain or something like that.

I think it was Iran because the Prez of the country is giving 20 centrifuges in the treaty but not letting the US know it has more so they can continue making the bomb.

Bahrain doesn't have any atom bombs.
But it's all made up anyway.
 
I thought they actually shot in New York. Why does the city look so fake? I Guess they couldn't find a good sunset so the made a CG one.

Also why is Ellen Page the face of Cisco.

Ellen Page makes me want to buy cisco products... I don't know about you.
 
the end of the last episode with renee going whacko was very disturbing with the buzzsaw hitting skin and all that, i had to turn away. nightmare fuel indeed. usually, those kinds of events are saved for later in the season, so it could be that the show could be shark jumping. besides that, i think it was a decent four hours.

also, why are half the people on the show stupid? but then again, if everyone listened to jack, the season would be over by now.
