24: Day 5 Discussion Thread

Alright! We already got our first spoiler for Day Six!





S P O I L E R A L E R T










Turns out that Jack ain't going to spend next season in China after all! An interview in the NY Post with 24 producer Howard Gordon indicated that having the story involve Jack escaping from China would not work with the show's real time premise, since getting him back to the U.S. would take 16 hours. So, basically it looks like Day Six will begin with Jack having already escaped from that China-bound freighter.

Maybe we'll now find out who these guys working with Graham are, and whether Logan gave up Jack to the Chinese when he said that everything had been "taken care of."

I agree Gb but it is hard not to try to figure out the realism and how it would work. I often forget that the whole premise is "24" hours and each episode is "1" hour of that day.
I have no idea how he or anyone could survive such a day. I would like to see him go through a McD drive through so at least I know he eats now and then.

Normally every time I sit down, whether at home or in a theatre, to watch something my only requirement is "entertain me"...I usually do not try to over think it, whether it could work or not, etc. but find it hard not to when watching 24.

For those of you who missed the early part of the season, Fox will show repeats of 24 in two-hour blocs every Friday starting on June 16th.

For those of us who've already seen the whole thing, the seven month countdown continues!

All we got to look forward to in between is the DVD set, which for the past couple of seasons has included a prequel that sets up the chronology for the upcoming season. However, I heard an interview with the show's producer who said that they have no plans include a Day Six prequel with the DVD set for Day Five.

But, if the action on Day Six is not supposed to take place in China, then a logical prequel would show how Jack got back to the U.S. (or wherever the action on Day Six will take place). C'mon guys, we need our fix!
