[US] 24: Day 9 - Live Another Day, Hour 1 & 2 [ 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. ] [** SPOILERS **]

Or they hit him in the vest.

Although in season 1 he did actually get wounded!

KeithM89

Didn't he get shot at the end of hour 2 by the guy he stabbed in the face? Definitely no vest on.

Given the near and return from death experiences that Mr. Bauer has had, I'm surprise there is no First Church of the St. Jack in existence.

Also, who knew Ava Hessington(Suits) moonlighted as an international power player.

I would have assumed people would see her as the Stark woman from Game of Thrones ahead of Suits.

Turtwig

Yep.

Used to be a massive fan but got very jaded with it around Series 6 (I think) - the one where his father and brother featured heavily

Don't really have the appetite to go back and catch up with Series 7 and 8 but have started taping the new series - basically (this is a really long lead in to a simple question) is there anything I really need to know before I start watching the new show?

cheers cm

I know not of this "Game of Thrones" ... (likely the only one on boards.ie, as never a Martin fan).

IGN did a recap of each season recently. You could get the basics there, though i'd still recommend watching seasons 7 and 8. They were pretty good.

PropJoe10

Seasons 7 and 8 were very good. I thought 6 was the weakest season myself, although its still good.

6 was very poor I thought. 7 was ok, 8 was very good.

There not really much you need to know, Jack was a badass now he is known as a traitor to his country.

PropJoe10

That mini movie between seasons 6 and 7 was pretty good too. 24: Redemption it was called, starred Robert Carlyle. Worth a look for anyone that hasnt seen it.

Just watch 7 and 8. By the time you have done that you'll have most of this new series ready to go.

Just thinking back here, season 7 is pretty great. Maybe one or two too many twists in it, but there's some really great stuff. I particularly liked the Starkwood section, the defence contractor. Jon Voight was great in it, I thought.

Yeah I thought it was a great season too up until the final few hours when

Tony killed Larry and turned bad

.

Jack breaking

Tony

out of the FBI was right up there with him breaking Chloe out of the CIA.

Kiith

I really enjoyed season 7 as well. Renee's descent down to Jacks 'whatever it takes' attitude was well done, and the White House siege was great as well.

Also, poor Bill

Turtwig

The thing about season 7

was Tony was behaving suspiciously all season. But yeah I was really disappointed when he was the baddie the explanation of him planning revenge for Michelle was quite good.

There was a few too many twists and I thought that the

killing of Larry Moss was a bit unnecessary

but by the end of the season, the Tony storyline kind of made sense. Its a very underrated season and the Starkwood part and the White House siege were particularly good. Some weak bits in the season too but all the seasons of 24 have weak sections, to be fair.

Turtwig

I hated the way Larry was literally sign posted. Really hate when they do that and I agree with you it was very weak. Totally unnecessary.

Alfred Borden

Just got around to watching this, what an opening two episodes onto the third one now, loving the mix of new and old cast members.
