Excellent stuff. Will take a look later but really could do with seeing the 5th series of 24 first!!!

Having seen them (they were ripped from a preview dvd that was supposed to be released after the first 4 were shown last weekend in the US) I have to say i'm slightly disappointed.

 

Maybe I hyped myself up too much for it, but some of the plot involved was just silly. The handing over of Jack was pretty poor, i'm sure a lot more could have been made of it rather than just the signing of a piece of paper. A president that is so weak and feeble he gives into terrorist demands - stop whispering and grow some balls for Christ sake! Where has this unseen Palmer sister appeared from, after 5 series i'm sure we would have heard of her?

They have rehashed a plot from season 2 & 5 and combined them - it was obvious the Arab kid from the "nice" family would be a brainwashed junior terrorist.

 

It just didn't have the feel of 24, something was lost. Maybe it was because we were dumped straight into the action. Other than that, jack escaping from the chair, the train scene and the unpredictable end of episode 4 were amazing. If it wasn't for the end of ep4, the beginning would have been pretty poor compared to what 24 fans expect and love.

i dunno, i thought this was the best opening to a series yet!! i have found myself in the past thinking 24 has lost it and actually gave up on series 3 halfway through. Then i had to get all the dvd lent to me so i could catch up beofre series 5 started. I have discovered that because the plot is so wide they may not touch on an element of it for 3 or 4 episodes, by which time i was forgetting the relevance of certain characters, or even forgetting what or where they are?? so the chance to get 4 episodes together like that was brill. just like on dvd. I think i may store up 4 or 5 at a time on my sky+ and have a "24fest" every month or so.
