Jack's back with a whole new set of friends--and enemies.

As Fox's 24 heads into its fifth adrenaline-filled, sleep-deprived day, producers are restocking the cast with fresh blood, including former Designing Women star Jean Smart and young actors Brady Corbet and Connie Britton.

Details for the new season are being kept under lock and key--the network wants to make sure nothing leaks before Day Five kicks off in January. Producers and publicists are not even publicly confirming that series star Keifer Sutherland will be back as badass CTU agent Jack Bauer to save the world from yet another dastardly conspiracy. (Surprise: He will.)

When last we left our hero at the end of Day Four, Bauer had faked his own death and gone underground. (Long story short: Bauer broke into the Chinese embassy to kidnap an informant; during the raid, the consul got killed and the Chinese wanted to pin it on Bauer. The White House disavowed any knowledge of the mission and an agent was sent to take Bauer out.)

Igo, what'd you think of the first season? I watched it avidly, and thought the beginning was very good, but as time went on, I felt they kind of meandered in the narrative. They seemed to lose focus, and sometimes, practically nothing happened.

I'm hoping they'll put it together for the second season. And damn, Kate is hot!

I can't freaking wait. Jack Bauer rocks.

And Dennis Haysbert (Pres. Palmer) should be OUR President. :p

LOL...temporary brain short circuit. I was talking about Lost rather than 24. Love 24!

Hound-

I am an avid watcher of the show. Season 1 is as you described to me. Season 2 was AMAZING, season 3 was alright and season 4 was better than 3.

I am really interested to see 'what they do' with it now.
