24 Season 6 Premiere
Keifer Sutherland is back. I mean, Jack is back! Yes, Jack Bauer is back!
We last saw Jack being tortured in a Cargo vessel sailing for China last season of 24. A lot have surmised that the next season (well, this season) would deal on how to get Jack back from the Chinese. Apparently, it wasn’t so.
Fox’s 24 season 6 would start with a 2 night 4 hour gut-wrenching, action-packed, addictive premiere next Sunday and Monday (January 14 and 15). A lot of publicity has been going out for TV’s most successful TV series. And reviews from those lucky enough to be given DVD copies of the first 4 episodes, this might be the best yet; even besting last year’s Emmy-winning (Best Director, Best Actor, Best in Drama Series) season. The DVD will eventually be released by Fox as a special DVD which contains the first 4 episodes plus a preview of episode 5. However, somebody must have shipped the copies a little bit early in Asia and we suddenly get the episodes available on the Net almost a week ahead of it’s target premiere date. Everybody was surprised at this and were quite apprehensive downloading the episodes at first, thinking it might be a fake release. Eventually, it came to be that the leaked episodes are indeed copies from the said soon-to-be released DVD. Now I’m not sure if this is a marketing ploy by Fox but I really don’t think so. 24 already have its fan base and don’t need to preempt whatever they have planned out. Studios usually do ship out soon-to-be released DVDs in Asia ahead of the US release to sort out any problems with customs and the like.
Anyway, after almost a week of trying to ignore it, Mavis and I took the plunge last night. We agreed that we would just be watching 1 episode as we have to sleep early. So we did. Time passes by so quickly when watching 24 that when it finishes, you’ll feel that you only got to spend 10 minutes watching instead 40 minutes runtime of the episode. After hearing the last blip from the first episode, we were in denial that we wanted to watch the next one. We proceeded to act as if we were going to sleep but kept talking about the episode and what’s going to happen next. Without really saying it, we did agree on watching the 2nd episode and I found myself pushing the A button on the Xbox controller to start playing episode.
I don’t want to give out any spoilers but based on the 2 episodes we’ve watched so far, this is going to be one hell of a ride for 24 fans. Jack is back. But is he the same person he once was? Or has 20 months in Torture land China changed something in him? Would he still have “it” in him? Well, catch 24 and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
