Mik 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2005 The clock has already started ticking for the thrilling and unpredictable fifth season of 24, which will involve new cast members Sean Astin ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy), Jean Smart (Garden State) and Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights) along with newcomer Brady Corbet (Thirteen). 24's "Day 5" will start with a four-hour, two-night season premiere on Sunday, Jan. 8 and Monday, Jan. 9 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The second hour on Monday, Jan. 9 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) will be the series' 100th episode. The fifth hour of 24 will air in the show's regular time period on Monday, Jan. 16 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), and the intense series will then unfold on a weekly basis without repeats or preemptions all the way until the heart-stopping season finale. In season four, Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) led Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) operatives in the series' most intense hours as they prevented a criminal mastermind from detonating a nuclear bomb just minutes before it would have killed millions of people and changed the world forever. Season five picks up 18 months later as national security is brutally breached and the thrilling clock begins to tick again. A presumably dead Jack Bauer is actually living a new life with Diane (Britton) and her son Derek (Corbet). Panicky President Logan (Gregory Itzin) is running the nation, while composed Bill Buchanan (James Morrison) commands CTU alongside key operatives Curtis Manning (Roger Cross), Edgar Stiles (Louis Lombardi) and Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub). Also featured in season five will be Emmy Award-winning actress Jean Smart as First Lady Martha Logan. In addition, Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) and Audrey Raines (Kim Raver) return in the upcoming season. No role given for Rudy. Could he possibly be the bad guy?

JasonX 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2005 No role given for Rudy. Could he possibly be the bad guy? That would be the logical thing, especially if they connect him and Audrey together as the big bad, out to kill Jack dead for the way he let Audrey's husband die like he did. That said, nice to see Chloe back and hopefully they'll give her a bigger role this season. Given how utterly over the top the show has gotten, they need someone like Chloe to regularly point out the absurdity of the situation and give the normal person POV.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2005 and here I was secretly hoping that they would dump the whole CTU thing and have the show take some place other than LA for a change... It will be interesting to see how Jack manages to save the world without blowing his cover of being dead. It would be cool if the Chinese planned some terrorist activity to lure Jack out after they heard some rumors that he wasn't really dead.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonX 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2005 More Chloe! She needs to use a gun again. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Preferably if she uses it against Jack the next time he uses his serial killer voice to get Chloe to break the rules just for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
