In HD, it was easy to see that they really plastered the foundation on Agent Walker in the hospital corridor scene, like it was Crown emulsion or something! It nearly put me off her. But not quite - she's lovely.

Is the photo of your new girlie, fella?

Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome.

It's already blown the rather "meh" season 6 out of the water in just four episodes.

Although I wish they'd kept Tony a bad guy instead of bottling it so early in the season. Still, nothing to say he won't be a double, double agent.


Plus it seems a bit more... grounded than previous seasons. Maybe it's because the FBI have an office instead of the old CTU "Command Centre Of The Future" and there's been nothing particularly over the top so far.

I did cringe a bit during the Hacker Battle though


Needs some Aaron though.

God I love 24.

I really want to do her! :(

I'd have totally HitmanMiles'd her whenJack knocks her out
Also, a bit of a weird comment, but she looks great in trousers... watch 24 again, see how good she looks in those FBI trousers?

I really like the feel of season 7 and I think they will keep up this quality for most of the season but:

The first 4 episodes of S6 > the first 4 episodes of S7

I like the S7 build up - I really liked Jack going undercover with Emmerson, and the way that whole thing played out.

The only thing stopping it from being S1-3 quality is some dodgy lines, characters, and direction. When Jack got Tony, the way the camera zoomed into Moss on the Helicopter, with him hanging out of it, was ridiculously camp. And the geek battle was a little cringeworthy. Actually, Chloe is always cringeworthy.

Still, I like the grounded approach. Howard Gordon (exec producer) has said that the second half of the season (actually from episode 8 onwards) is in his opinion, the best stretch of episodes the show has ever seen, and that's after praise for the first 4 episodes.

Charlie Brooker on 24:
...thus far the worst Jack's done is hold a ballpoint pen under a man's eye and ready his elbow to make a scooping-out gesture. By his standards that's nothing. He probably does that at children's parties. Worryingly, I was inwardly urging him to do it, so I could be appalled and entertained at the same time. But he's got other things on his mind, namely the return of Tony Almeida, who's come back from the dead to play the bad guy. Or is he the bad guy? It's hard to say, because when Jack shouts "what the hell happened to you?" at him, he clams up and looks hard instead of answering.

To make him look evil, Tony's been given a buzz cut and some scars, and looks a bit like an Action Man figurine that's been standing in a car park for the past four years, braving the elements. I'm prepared to bet this is just a bit of role play to keep the relationship fresh. By episode nine Jack and Tony will doubtless be sidekicks again, spit-roasting the terrorists in a bid to extract confessions, and high-fiving over their shuddering victim's back. I've been wrong before, mind.

Just finished Season 1 :cry: I didn't know what happened specifically but I knew Teri died at some point but thought season 2 until like half an hour from the end when I remembered that Teri was pregnant, the next series was 18 months later and Jack doesn't have another child. It clicked :( and then that ending! :cry:

Still bloody amazing though, Season 2 tomorrow!

3 will be on this week. It's already been shown in America and you can probably get hold of it somewhere.

Two stellar episodes. I'm really warming to the new cast as well.
