He was kidnapped by the Chinese mafia or terroist
something along those lines and put on cargo ship to China

Thanks Mike

What did ya think Kev? He was captured by the Chinese Gov't at the end of that last show last year. It stemmed back to season 4 when he led an assault of the Chinese Embassy and one of the Chinese gov't employees was killed. All last season you thought the Chinese would resurface and it wasn't until he had saved the world for the 5th time that they did. They do a great job with all the twists in this show.

I watched it for the first time. It was def but I thought a few of the "twists" were a little predictable. Although the biting thing freaked me out a tad. LoL

24 was off tha chain! First time I watched it

My questions

1. Why was Jack in a chinese prison for 2 years?

2. Who was the president before he went away?

3. Has the show always been based about terrorists?

1.) Because a few seasons back, he took it upon himself (with the president's knowledge, but NOT his approval, to invade a Chinese embassy (?) where he killed the Chinese consulate. That is considered sovereign soil, and the Chinese knew he did it but could not prove it. At the end of last season, the show closed with him getting captured by the Chinese.

2.) The President when he left was President Logan, who was a smarmy jerkface who was more or less "in" on what was happening. He "tried" to do something good for America and it backfired, then he broke all sorts of laws trying to cover it up. Jack caught him and got him to unknowningly confess at the end of last season. This season's president Wayne Palmer's brother David Palmer was the original president on 24. He was killed in the first seven minutes of last season (though he was not the president at the time), and he was played by Dennis Haysbert.

3.) Yes, the show has always been about terrorists, and foiling their huge plans for American destruction.

It's always a little predictable, but there are usually enough good little twists throughout the season that you don't see coming to make it worth it.

The best twist of all, Jack Bauer getting after it like Blade. there's nothing this guy cant do.

Thanks man, I appreciate it

It's predictable until they fool you. Only 45 minutes til the next 2 hours....:D

Business is about to pick up.....

Oh, and they do! They juuuuuust let you get comfortable with what's going on before they throw a wrench into it and flip it upside down.

Can't wait for tonight.

Yeah exaxtly how many times can you get shot at in one day? This guy almost dies everytime you turn around. I think I'd be looking for work some where else myself.

PB: not trying to give anything away to the newbies to this show...but he only works a day every 18 months or so!:D

I think I'd dodge a few for 6 months on 18 months off......but he can have the tortue boat to China....
