Finally Some 24 News–24 at Comic-Con
According to TV Squad 24 director Jon Cassar and producer/writers David Fury, Evan Katz and Manny Coto spent an hour answering questions about the upcoming season of 24.
The interesting tidbits are that CTU will be disbanded by the US government at the beginning of season 7 and Jack is facing a barrage of Senate Hearings.
The season will take place in Washington D.C. and not in L.A. Seems that terrorists do attack other places. But, unlucky for them Jack Bauer will be in that exact city to stop them once again.
Also, it seems that the whole “Tony coming back” rumor wasn’t as much a bluff as I thought it was. There was an alternate ending that was “discussed” but never “filmed.” That alternate ending supposedly had Tony returning at the very end and telling Jack something to the effect of “We have a lot to talk about.”
I hope this is enough to wet your appetites. I know it is for me. 24 being taken out of L.A. is desperately what the series needs. And with no CTU breathing down Jack’s neck it would seem that Jack will play more of a ‘John McClane’ character. That is what Jack needs. Put him out there on his own and let him do what he does best.
I’m excited!

No! Jack needs CTU, or at least a team of backers. JB is the man, and can do no wrong, but without (at least) Chloe to tell him HOW to reprogram Palm Treos to detonate explosives, he could never do it.

I think Chloe will still help him out over phone.

Exactly!!! It just wouldn’t be 24 without Choe

I’m excited about the new season but there will only be one “John Macdaddy”
August 7th, 2007 at 9:23 pm
Who is John Macdaddy??
August 10th, 2007 at 7:13 am
I think that’s a reference to John McClane from “Die Hard”.
