Every city in the country actually DOES have hills like this in the background, even Manhattan.

Ok folks here's the new thread for the new season.
.................................................................................Set in Washington, DC, "Day 7" opens four years after Season Six with CTU dismantled and JACK BAUER on trial. Bauer's day takes an unexpected turn when former colleague TONY ALMEIDA returns. Meanwhile, newly elected President ALLISON TAYLOR leads the country alongside White House Chief of Staff ETHAN KANIN and First Gentleman HENRY TAYLOR.
A national security crisis prompts an investigation by a team of FBI agents including JANIS GOLD, RENEE WALKER, LARRY MOSS and SEAN HILLINGER. Although CTU is no longer, CHLOE O'BRIAN and BILL BUCHANAN are back for another momentous day of shocking events.
Drinking water when I read this -- nearly choked to death! LOL!
The Bauer gland!! LOL!

"Behroooooz."
I think you could get some good confessions at Gitmo out of her annoying whine.
And the leader of the evildoers is a small Jewish guy.
And if we do have to look at Garofalo in a purple vinyl shirt again next season, I personally will buy her a supportive sports bra.
We did the same thing. Started watching during one of the Palmer administrations after hearing Rush rave, and fell hard for the show. We watched season 5, the one with the Logans (BRILLIANT ACTING) in the White House, and went out and got all the other seasons. We watched a lot of them one summer in Hawaii, staying up too late each night watching episode after episode.
I agree that stupid decisions were made by the President in this one, and of course her weak and clueless husband. He turned out to be such a spineless flake that Jack should have left him under that takeout place. But stupid decisions were made by others as well. Didn’t Palmer allow his ex-wife back into the West Wing?
The Muslim cleric at the end was atrocious. Especially since it contrasted with the recent discovery that Mr. Big, the one who killed everyone in all former seasons, as well as the current President’s son, Michelle, and all things bright and beautiful, was a little nebbishy Jewish guy. One can only imagine what the Imam responded with when Jack told him. (Hint: Mel Gibson would no doubt agree.)
But you are right about the writing. So much was never followed up. The beginning of the day was all about Singala or San Galla, and of course the evil Djuma and his pasta-craving illegal alien henchman. But they dropped that plotline so fast that I forgot all about the entire continent of Africa for the last couple of months, which probably was quite the opposite of the producers’ One World dream.
And indeed, Garofalo should have only been cast to be blown to bits at some point. She can’t act her way out of a recycled bag.
It was still fun to watch the season, but next time more plot stability and less Lebanese women.
The best thing I got from this season is a great impression of the Tony Almeida sideways snarl. They should definitely make a cocktail called the Almeida and it should be nearly 100% bitters.
Bray, my friend, cannot agree with you. Loved this season ... okay there were some annoyances, major and minor, but it was totally engrossing and interesting every minute.
Best thing on TV in my opinion ... I watched every episode twice.
You crack me up about staying up so late at night watching episode after episode -- we did the same thing! This was the ONLY season so far that I didn't look forward to every episode. I even fell asleep during one show. The only reason I watched it was to indulge my husband; left to my own, I would have quit after the first few episodes, and I wouldn't have done that in years prior.

LOL! Perfect! Serve them at your next party! I got to meet and observe at a race track Carlos Bernard, but it was before I got hooked on 24, so all I knew about him at the time was that he was a TV actor, formerly from soap operas. He's extremely handsome in a steamy kind of way, quiet, intense, a very competitive personality, and 1000 percent male -- there was nothing "feminized" about him in the slightest. Remember the black guy, Curtis, from earier episodes? I also got to meet him. He is SO-O-O much more handsome in person than on the camera, who knows why. He was gentle, extremely smart and self-driven -- has been a professional pilot -- and filled with love for life. I was so bummed when he got kacked on one of the episodes!
Jack asked the Imam for forgiveness. How can one man forgive Jack unless Jack believes that this cleric has “powers” to forgive. Kind of makes Jack a believer in Islam.
The other glossed over point is that ALL of the terror (entire series) including the assassination of David Palmer was directed from Wilson (You know the guy that resembles Bush).
These are only a few complaints I have of this show (season 7)and how they are trying to make fools of conservatives.
Maybe next season the title of the show should be changed to: “24 Reasons I am a Liberal”.
I think conservatives aren’t as discerning as I thought.
I think there was a whole lot more “planning” on what they did this season just to slam the right. Rush and Laura Ingraham where is you analysis on this. Leadership is needed here! They were big fans (so was I) but the producers have stabbed us all in the back.
Hopefully freerepublic won't let the writers/producers get away with this.
People at my office were hoping that she (GoshAwfolo)was going to be the mole at the FBI.
6!!!!! :)
Just noticed something while watching Season 3 of 24, 3:00am - 4:00am...
Tony Todd, the actor who just played General Benjamin Juma on Season 7, also played Detective Norris in the aforementioned episode. Norris questioned both Julia Miliken and Sherry Palmer with regards to their roles in the death of David Palmer nemesis Alan Miliken.
Apologies if folks figured this out way before now.
Just noticed something else...from Season 4 of “24” -
In the special features, during the 7pm - 8pm block, when Jack and Paul Raines were in the gun shop with the two boys, an extended scene showed their father, played by Adoni Maropis.
They didn’t use him in this scene, nor was he even credited for it on IMDB, but he did play a large part in a future 24 role - terrorist Abu Fayed in Day 6.
I guess he hung around until he “hung around”...
Can you direct me to the thread for this season. Got off to a real rip-boring start last night
