4th series of 24! [UK edition, please don't post spoilers until ep has aired in UK]

Definitely. All five viewers who can see this in the UK need a thread.

Fucking Murdoch.

I would not fuck with Jack, ever.

I'm not too keen on the whole Jack-doesn't-work-for-CTU-but-he's-there-anyway device, and I also don't like the premise that everyone who works there now but Chloe is a totally clueless moron and the insinuation that the world will never be safe if Jack isn't in it - WTF is their recruitment policy these days? Otherwise, yeah, promising-ish start, but no series opener has grabbed me the way the first episode of series one did.

(I was quite excited about it)

(who cares though? TONY ALMEIDA IS BACK!)

he is back!

i really like 'BAAA-ROOS'.

he really won me over when he savaged that guy with the spade. And he seems to be driving around from the passenger seat now, which is quite a feat.

next week: Baa-roos to gain x-ray vision.

In other news, I think I love Tony Almeida. Where's Chloe gone? Where's Driscoll's mental daughter gone? How come Edgar didn't try harder specifically to override the nuclear reactor near his mammy's house and just thought about it AFTER it melted down?

From upthread. I asked Teeny to retitle the thread but it hasn't been done, I've asked on the mod board now.

I haven't shared opinions for some time but my theory = prez not dead as we watched the plane thing about four times in slow motion and CTU reported that an accompanying fighter pilot said "indirect hit" and the president and convenient-emotional-plot-device-son-who-has-been-on-Air-Force-One-all-the-loads-of-hours-its-been-in-the-air-without-being-introduced-until-the-threat son were looking out the window as the explosion happened. Cue next week's episode being them trying to land a one-winged Air Force One.

Also, teh Nina-type baddie is going to be Audrey Raines (I have a theory about this, but it's not very good so I won't share it unless I am proved right). And where the hell has her dad gone?

I am quite sad, amn't I?

I actually don't care AT ALL what happens now, though I would still like to be proved right about Audrey.

however, series 4 has just started on Sky 3 which is available via Freeview so even us plebs can watch it. i'm hoping it'll make sense, well, as much sense as the other two i've seen did.

i hope there's another mountain lion...
