Mr. Bauer goes to Africa
The upcoming "bridge" movie for "24" will feature Jack in Africa. Coooool. Here's some more info:
For the upcoming 24 movie, Jack finds himself in the motherland, looking for peace among lions, elephants and giraffes. He should know better. Instead of getting some much-needed R&R, our favorite CTU super agent lands smack dab in the middle of a military coup.
The events in Africa lead up to season seven in which Jack is subpoenaed and must high-tail-it back to Washington to answer questions from a bunch of ungrateful politicians who seem to always forget how many times Jack has saved this country's hide.
The movie was designed as a bridge between the end of season six and the start of season seven. The two-hour film, scheduled to air in the fall, is also a way for Fox to remind viewers that Jack Bauer still exists.

Check out President Logan
Wil Wheaton just posted this very funny video on his blog that stars a buddy of his as well as Gregory Itzin, AKA President WussyMan. (I say that with love and affection for the Gregory. Great actor. So great he made me HATE Logan.)
Watch the vid. Payoff at the end is hilarious for 24 addicts :)

24 Season 7 Cast Picture
Shiny! A new promo pic for next season which, I suppose could be considered spoilery but hell, even *I* know Tony's coming back.
There is apparently a higher-res version of it according to Fark, but I can't get the damn thing to load up. If you can, sweet! if not, there's this version at least thanks to a commenter there. Enjoy!

24addict on NPR, Redux
Hey there NPR listeners :) Welcome to the site and thanks for checking it out. For you noobs, we've got forums, fanfiction, some transcripts, and show recaps, as well as that pic there of Jack Bauer AKA Kiefer Sutherland with the steely look in his eye :)
For anyone else who's been by before, the Jack Bauer NPR story is available by clicking here. Pam put together a pretty sweet package where she talks to Bob Cochran, one of the show's creators, and Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff, a TV/Culture professor at Syracuse Uni, and um, me.
It was a lot of fun, and thank you Pam for letting me babble :)
Oh and one last thing - they've put up a blog about it as well an you can comment on how freaky it is that DHS honcho Michael Chertoff is a fan of the show :) Or maybe it's just me that thinks that's freaky. I had no idea. Seriously.
And no laughing at my pic. I have no idea wtf I'm doing in it. Looks like my keyboard just shocked me or something.

24addict on NPR
I haven't mentioned this yet (here, anyway :) ) but next Monday, I'm going to be part of an NPR feature piece on Jack Bauer. It's part of their "In Character" series in which "Indelible American characters are explored in-depth."
I was interviewed by the lovely Pam Fessler who is in Washington, D.C. so we did it by phone. But it was pretty cool how it was done. She had a local NPR stringer named Brett Erickson (who is also a professor at a local college here) come down to my paper. He recorded my end of the convo on his spiffy audio gizmo while I talked to Pam on the phone. Anyway, the mechanics of how interviews are done was fascinating.
She had me go through this site a little and talk about how 24addict.com came to be, and why I love the show so much. We talked about the character of Jack and why he appeals to me and why I think he appeals to the fans in general. I hope I don't sound too much like a tool or wacky fangirl in this thing :) If I do, forgive me, I was nervous.
Anyway, I've been told the show will most likely air on March 17th nationally, so if you want to check it out, please do. Pam talked to folks who work on the show as well so it should be a wonderful piece :) If you miss it on the air, it will also be available on the NPR website.
UPDATE: Got another email from Pam on the times it will air:
"The Bauer In Character piece is scheduled to air Monday morning at 6:50, 8:50 and 10:50 Eastern time. That should probably be at 5:50, 7:50 and 9:50 CST (other time zones, you're on your own. I don't do math on Fridays.) If for some reason you miss it, it can be found on our website a few hours later at www.npr.org. Just click on Programs at the top and go to Morning Edition."
She says I'm in a little bit at the end and that it's a six minute piece.

Great news! 24 "Prequel" planned for Fall
Oh I could hug my Google alerts. The media is picking up a story that the producers of the show are planning a two-hour prequel for Season 7 that will bridge the gap between seasons 6 and 7. Kiefer Sutherland will be back as Jack sooner than we thought. Woot!!!!
Here's the link to the story.
"According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox wants to air a two-hour prequel movie to bridge the gap between the sixth and seventh seasons.
Season six of 24 was originally broadcast in the US at the beginning of 2007, but the TV movie is also intended to outline what has changed at CTU HQ during the two-year hiatus."
Huzzah!
