A bit early (and after last year I’m not sure people will be that interested) here is some scoop on season 7, including confirmation that the show will set outside LA, probably in New York, Dc or (fingers crossed) my home town, London!
Why is Chloe a shoe-in to return?
Does she have blackmail video on Sutherland?
By the end of last season it became clear which female character is fit to be President on the show. Audrey.
Rumours about a CTU-less day of 24 have floated around in the lead-up to the last three or four seasons. Every summer you hear about how the next day of Bauer will be something new, and then it turns out to be the exact same old.
I’d love this to be true, because they really, desperately need a change of format (and I don’t mean dump real-time, I mean dump the Bauer/CTU/President parallel stories format), but I’ll believe it when I see it.
And I will see it. It’ll take a lot worse than this past season’s latter half to lose my interest.
I caught Wayne Palmer in a promo for some new show. A new show that will probably be cancelled halfway through the season. So I guess look for Wayne Palmer in 24!
I must admit, this show has gone through more presidents than Spinal Tap has had drummers.
The show basically takes place several years into a post-nuclear future now, they might as well turn it into a Snake Plissken science fiction thing. Ricky’s even ready for the eyepatch.
You know what would be awesome? Give Jack a cute little black kid sidekick who speaks in jive.
Whatchu talkin’bout, Bauer?
Uh oh;

| Season 7 of 24 promises to be its most tense yet. At least on the set. Execs at the Fox hit have scrapped virtually their entire story line for the season, delaying the start of production by roughly three weeks. According to sources, the 11th-hour time-out was called after the network put the kibosh on a costly plan to shoot a number of episodes in Africa. Producers briefly toyed with the idea of finding a location in Los Angeles that could sub for the continent, but they ultimately decided to ditch the whole concept and start over from scratch. Although a 20th Century Fox spokesperson declined to comment, 24’s expert scowler, Mary Lynn Rajskub, confirms that the clock for Day 7 has been reset. “I don’t know what’s going on over there, but they’re going crazy,” says the scene-stealer, who only learned last week that Chloe would even be returning. “We usually start [back up] at the end of July, and I don’t think we’re starting until a couple of weeks into August now. It’s kind of exciting, because I think [the postponement] means that they’re really having to dig in there and come up with new stuff.” The show’s creative team was no doubt already feeling the pressure: Day 6 was considered to be about as explosive as a wet firecracker, so for Season 7 they really needed a plot that was incendiary. In fact, news of the setback comes on the same day the semiannual Television Week critics’ poll (in which yours truly participated) named 24 the second worst show on TV, behind ABC’s best-not-traveled October Road. For more on 24’s big rewrite — including what impact it’ll have on plans to introduce the show’s first female president — check out Ask Ausiello this Wednesday. |

New.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what the writers think it means.
Africa?

Isn’t this normal?
At last, Jack Bauer is going to do something about that whole Darfur bidness.
I would have loved to see them in Africa if only because it is the furthest possible setting from LA.

| Two-time Tony winner Cherry Jones will take up residence in the White House" for the seventh season of “24.” FOX offers very little information about Jones’ role in the show, except to say that when “24” returns in January, she’ll be playing President Allison Taylor. |

That’s pretty all the information, isn’t it?
Even off the air this show is in ‘durr…’ mode.
So is it pretty much a given that the new President get seduced and taken advantage of by a mole terrorist or am I reaching here?

Spoilers!
Here’s an iF Magazine interview with Howard Gordon. He discusses the canceled plots from season 7 in Africa, and what’s happening with the current storyline.
Very interesting that in the proposed Africa storyline there would have been a time jump half way through the season.
A lot more info here:
I kind of wish this show would keep rehashing the same shitty plots because then I would be able to brush it off completely. But with all these promises of change, I keep considering coming back. Of course, if half of this coming season had actually been set in Africa, I would definitely be back.
