Maybe my expectations were low, but I was impressed by the two-hour 24 "prequel" to the seventh season, "Redemption." Here are a few thoughts on why I liked it:
- For whatever reason, it's still strangely comforting to see Jack Bauer back on TV, doing what he does best (picking off the bad guys, saving the good guys, enduring torture, etc.).
- Kids. Little African kids are at the heart of Jack's major struggle here and while it might be a manipulative tactic, it definitely worked in getting me to care about the story.
- Overall, and especially toward the end, I was on the edge of my seat, stressing out about these people and yelling at my TV again, as though it were the first season of 24 or something.

Considering it's the Sunday before a major holiday, tonight's a pretty big one for TV. In addition to the Stephen Colbert Christmas special, Fox is pulling out all the stops for a special 24 event, and HBO bids a first-season farewell to a new hit drama.
24's movie, 24: Redemption, has been a long time coming.

I've had a love-hate relationship with 24 for a long time, now. When it's bad, it's preposterously bad, but when it's good, it's one of the best things ever. Like, jumping off the couch yelling, kind of thing.

It's been 40 years since his last regular TV role, but Jon Voight has seen something he likes in 24. Voight will be joining the show for its upcoming seventh season, playing a tormenter of Jack Bauer's.
The Oscar-winning actor — and father of this lady — will play Jack's "uber-nemesis" who's running this season's terrorist plot, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Even without the writers' strike, the seventh season of Fox's 24 might have been in trouble. The show had some fairly legendary production problems that caused the writers to scrap one entire plotline that would have sent Jack to Africa.
Now, it looks like some good will come from the delay after all: The producers will finally get to delve into their Africa storyline — not for a whole season, but for a two-hour prequel designed to fill in the long gap between seasons of the show.

As Kiefer Sutherland joins his costars and photographers at an exhibit for the show in Beverley Hills this week, Sky One have stopped teasing us and have finally announced that 24: Redemption will be airing on Sky One on Monday 24 November at 10pm. That's just one day after our friends in the US get to see the two-hour prequel telefilm, which acts as a bridging episode between Day 6 and Day 7. When I asked back in September how you were feeling about this installment, the vast majority of you were excited, and now we've got a confirmed air date the anticipation is building even more.

Kiefer Sutherland looked suitably Jack Bauer-esque in his aviators as he strolled through NYC yesterday, making me even more excited for the return of 24.
The two-hour telefilm bridging show, 24: Redemption (formerly 24: Exile) will serve as prequel to Day 7 and will air on 23rd November in the States, but Sky One is still teasing us here in the UK by not announcing our air date. They have advertised it as coming in November though, so not long now!

Kiefer Sutherland and the rest of the cast of 24 took the stage at this morning's Fox TCA panel, and while the questions kept coming back to whether or not the show condones torture, they managed to get a few good jokes in. After this week's four-hour season premiere and last month's TV movie 24: Redemption, are you on board with the new season? The show's producers and cast seem hopeful that a little break has made the show and Jack Bauer reinvigorated and ready to excite us.
