24 Season 4 Plot & News

[Guest Ringmaster]

If you haven’t heard by now, “24” in undergoing a major revamp for its fourth season, with David Palmer out of office and Jack Bauer the only returning regular.

Variety revealed on July 19 that Bauer is no longer working for the Counter-Terrorism Unit, but forgot to mention what he's doing instead.

Coaxial News sources now indicate Bauer is working for a Defense Department task force. Kim Raver, for many seasons the hot paramedic on “Third Watch,” will play Bauer’s love interest, an aide to Jack's new boss, the secretary of defense.

Though Jack is no longer with CTU, CTU is still in the picture. The Hollywood Reporter reveals Friday morning that Louis Lombardi, who played a massive poker player in “Spider-Man 2,” will play a massive heretofore unseen component of Bauer’s old workplace.

The threat this season seems to revolve around an attempt to cripple the United States’ economic power. The first villain of the season appears to be a Middle East businessman (“Day After Tomorrow” player Nestor Serrano) who runs an import/export company.

4.1 begins at 5 p.m. PT. The season premiere, slated to air in January, seems to launch with some kind of a bang. Word is the scripts circulating to casting agents are missing their first few pages. So if Bauer cuts off a part of somebody or nakedness-prone lesbian assassin Mandy turns up, it could be in those opening minutes.

I like it.

Jack is the only character worth keeping, as Palmer was getting stale anyhow.

Hopefully, this will lead to Jack getting into arguments and such with the new president.

I'm in.

*trys to avoid reading what was written*

to me 24 always is fun becaus i am not spoilt and am gussing all week what happens next, can you explain me why so manny people try so hard to get spoilt ? *ducks*

[Xand]

I'm not going to get spoilt, I just want to to know what the plot and what we can expect with the format of the season.

Well this isn't really a spoiler, it's like reading the back of a DVD to see what the movie is about.

What happened to Elisha Cuthbert's character? I watched saeson 1 and 2 but not season 3

[Guest Ringmaster]

She got written off, along with pretty much everyone but Bauer.

[Lowerdeck]

She was in season 3, and probably had more of an important role in that - being less of a retard than normal.

Mixed thought that she's gone. Sure, it's eye candy. But her character sucked.

I'd like to see the Tony Almeida character kept on the show, although I'm sure that's doubtful at this point. That character was brilliant, on the same lines as Bauer, but fundamentally different in many key areas.

Just brilliant.

Totally. Tony was my favourite by a considerable mile *points at avatar*, I liked him way way more then Jack.

Since most acting contracts go 5 seasons, a complete overhaul is probably what the doctor ordered. This season can build to one big final season, and 24 can be added to the short list of shows that went out still cool.
