24 (A.K.A. The Jack Bauer Power Hour!)

I really like the symphonic version of the 24 theme, but I agree it wouldn't work in the show. Also 6.17 is amazing! I wouldn't say it's the best episode ever (1.07?, 5.01?, 5.19?, 5.24?) but it's by far the best of the season. It makes little sense why it went from a crap season to one amazing episode and then right down the toilet for the rest of it.

its indeed strange, the season 6 holds the silliest plots, but has some of the best episodes, I must the final 7 to 8 episodes are again classic 24 quality. I was once again sitting on the edge of my seat with those

Appropriate ending by the way too
Sadly the middle is such a mess

ah well the music may or may not work with an orchestra, but the power the music brings forward in the series is however not to be taken lightly

I loved all the bunker subplot, with president Palmer taking serious decisions while badly injured, and all the tension this situation generated. The moment he decides to launch the nuclear attack (we later know he is actually bluffing) was a highlight for me.

But I partially agree with you Anthony: I never liked Jack´s father reasons to do all he does, it was just senseless.

Hehe, Season 5 indeed is still the best, but considering it went serious down hill with Jack's family, I really liked they went to the idea that fueled season 5 in the end. So for me it was a nice conclusion

Anyhoo, 6 in general is good but not great, the final episodes are very good

Cool! Let's hope they make it! (But what would it be? 2 hours in real time?)

Yeah but it's a prequel. I just wonder how there are going to be two relevant hours in between seasons 6 and 7. If anything, I expect a lot of talking, as I'm not too sure how they could have anything action-related in just two hours (having a good beginning, middle and end).

That's a good idea!

Jack Bauer goes sightseeing!

I'm having a lecture on TV music in a couple of weeks, and I'm going to play some music tracks from LOST, X-FILES and 24 to the students (and then "quiz" them on where they're from). I already have the clips from LOST and X-FILES ready. However, I'm having trouble with 24. I have a file of the main title from season 4 (or 5?), and I was thinking of clipping out the section from 4:15 to 4:47. The point is not really to let them hear the theme (although that is obvious in this section nonetheless), but to get the feeling for the kind of "sound" that is typical for this series, among other things.

So I used this program that Demetris alerted us to awhile back, called Cool Record Edit Pro, to clip out that section. However, it could not recgnize the format even though it's a regular mp3 ("Formatfile Error!").

Long story short: Does anyone have this soundtrack and if so, can you do the clip-out for me? (alternatively send me a well-functioning mp3 of the track and let me do it myself?) That would be much appreciated!

Great, thanks!

Good news, at last. It´s months away, but good news:

"Two-Hour '24' Prequel Set For November: South Africa-set telefilm will bridge the long gap between '24' seasons".
"FOX has scheduled a two-hour "24" telefilm to serve as a prequel to the Emmy-winning drama's long-delayed seventh season."

Anything related to "24" is welcomed. And a two hour prequel is more than good. Patience though, we are talking november

Anyway, I'm ready for the new 7th season, may it kick ass like the 5th did

yay, Jon Cassar (the man who made most episodes including the legendary 5th season) will direct 24 The movie. Reports say the script is finished but will only start after the end of the 7th Season

Let this be the 24 Climax (nice happy ending or sad ending)

oh really? hmn
as long as it's 24 and Jack, me don't care
