It looks like the show is going right back to the same formula of seasons 1-6 after changing it slightly with season 7. But the new CTU is hip and cool! It's so cool, it looks like a night club, and Starbuck looks like a cocktail waitress. As if the technology used in the previous seasons wasn't far-fetched enough, now it's so advanced that even Chloe can't keep up. The CG backgrounds of New York look pretty terrible (they didn't shoot on-location), Freddy Prinze Jr. is a main character, and Elisha Cuthbert continues to not show her boobs. It's going to be another great day with Jack Bauer.
I think Don King would have been much more convincingly cast as the new head of CTU.
Why does the new head morgan walk around like his bluetooth weighs 50 pounds?

I don't think it's a good sign when the most likable person at New CTU is Freddy Prinze. Watching Walker turn into the new Jack, however, is pretty cool.
Wouldn't you think, that after 7 previous disasters, that the people at CTU would know to trust Jack? and even Chloe for that matter? This show is so unrealistic.

Bubba's now running CTU. What did you think was gonna happen?
If this was the Old CTU, the second Starbuck left the office, Jack would have had a gun to her head to GET THE INFORMATION HE NEEDS! Also, are they just waiting to reveal some kind of connection between her fake name and Richard Walsh from season 1? Considering the fact that they almost never even give multiple characters the same first name on this show, it seems like there would be some point to giving her the same last name.
Can they just kill off Starbuck already?

Clearly, Liberal Hollywood would name her character Dana Walsh. (http://www.danawalshforcongress.com)
Pelosi soft on terrorism? At least she's not directing her redneck Kerry Wood lookalike ex-boyfriend into a police warehouse to rip off evidence while nuclear material is on the loose in Manhattan!
A bunch of Ukrainians are the villains? And of the family of Ukrainians, only Oleg is dead so far? And they're all over 6-feet?
Not very realistic.
Man, that 11-midnight episode had all the gravitas of Ron Ely's portrayal of Doc Savage, Man of Bronze.
An equine hyperbaric chamber? Really?
Can Starbuck disappear again?
Irwin Allen must be spinning in his grave.
Well this was bound to happen. (http://tv.yahoo.com/24/show/28479/news/tv.accesshollywood.com/tv.accesshollywood.com-fox-24-canceled)

I'm hoping they have the nerve to kill her off by slipping on a banana peel.

She's awful. I hope they give Chloe a gun again (this season, not to mention the previous time she got to fire a weapon) so she can finish her off. Or maybe Rack Bauer can off her. I'd be up for that too.
DPD. They killed off Rack Bauer? Damn it. I guess they want to go out with a pissed-off Jack. Not a bad idea.

I knew reading this thread without catching up on the show was a bad idea.

OK, this is getting tedious. But at least Starbuck is gone. Might as well give Chloe a gun and let her go postal in CTU.
Jack fucked that commie's shit up. That was cool.

Would Jack retrieve a SIM card from this stomach?

Nope. I quit this show about 4 hours into this season but tuned in for the finale. I was hoping Jack would go out in a blaze of glory, but instead they left it with him on the run from the Russians or something, presumably so they can cash in on a movie.
FOX knows how to cross-promote the World Cup!

I'm amused that even the A.V. Club stringer was so thoroughly taken in by the obvious chain-yanking going on that he felt obliged to seriously overcompensate (http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/24-live-another-day-700-pm800-pm-206151) when dawn broke over Marblehead.
This has reached new heights of hilarity. Reason itself may as well have been left alone in a room with our protagonist.
