I can not be dead, I can fix this, get me an ointment.

[silent_jonny]

And there's a 24 movie in the works, too.

[COEXERJ145]

Thank you.

I'm working on one for Chloe right now but there aren't that many pictures of Mary-Lynn Rajskub and she isn't that photogenic in a lot of them.

I can just see Chase punching that wuss shrink.......when I heard Chloe offer to find him I figured they would have him back.

[mystery-ak]

It is signed up for one more year after this.



do we know this for sure?......the producers love to shock..

[tioga]

There are 24 paperbacks at the bookstore.

[COEXERJ145]

And there's a 24 movie in the works, too.

Exactly and Kiefer hinted that it would take place in the past so we could easily see Tony, Michelle, and some other characters return.

[COEXERJ145]

Fox renewed it for two more seasons last year so in all likelihood it will be back but of course will Jack still be there is the question.

Kiefer has said he wants Jack to die in the last episode.

[A CA Guy]

Kiefer has said he wants Jack to die in the last episode.

I think that would be weak, so many like Jack, so why leave them feeling so down when they don't have to?

[COEXERJ145]

Sorry guys, Tony is in 24 heaven with Michelle.

[COEXERJ145]

Kiefer said he doesn't want Jack Bauer to be replaced ala James Bond. He wants Jack to die saving the country one last time.

I should clarify that by "last episode" I meant of the series, not this season.

[sockmonkey]

Well, that last line in that article just about sums up this season so far, doesn't it:

But for now, it is Jack's companions who are at risk. Mr. Gordon said, "The irony is that he comes back to life, and everyone around him dies."

[who knows what evil?]

Sorry guys, Tony is in 24 heaven with Michelle.

Yes, he is. People at Fox's '24 Forum' and at the '24 Insider' are outraged...claiming '24' has just jumped the shark.

[DJ MacWoW]

Right after Edgar died, the actor had an interview on Fox news but Carlos Bernard didn't. Hmmmm. Fox will update the 24 website after it airs on the west coast. I'll keep checking to see if they list Tonys character as deceased.

[sockmonkey]

Thank you for freepmailing me the pie recipe..

I was going to make one for the pot luck after Michelle and Tony's funeral, but now that they're declaring Martial Law, I guess the double funeral will be postponed.

Heck at this rate on 24, there won't be anyone left to attend anyone's funeral.

[A CA Guy]

I know, so he wants no one to ever play Bauer again, so therefore he wants to kill him off depressing the heck out of the fans? That is weak.

[COEXERJ145]

I tend to agree.

If they were going to kill Tony and Michelle, which I think everyone expected, they should have killed them in the first episode. This way just ticked off the fans even though it was Carlos Bernard's idea.

[A CA Guy]

It's to cover up the bird flu epidemic.

[misterrob]

They can introduce new characters into the mix the final half of the season and use them next year. Next year is Jack's probable last year. The issue becomes how do they bring Jack back for next year? They have dragged him out of retirement, fired him then allowed him back, faked his death and now what? The Chicoms are still going to be looking for him which means that is a great story line but very hard to work out a good sequence.

[COEXERJ145]

Yeah but if the series is over, it really wouldn't matter.

Besides, I think everyone realized early on that Jack would die at the end of the series.
