Funny... the season six prequel I saw (just a short clip of ten minutes or so) showed Jack Bauer "Seven months later..." and he was still stuck in China being tortured by those grim-faced Chinese clutching their signature AK47s. Oh, well.
I remember seeing that too.
I thought this season would start with more of Jack's capitivity in China. I was surprised it didn't.
I wonder whether they did allot of rewriting during the off-season?
