Want a 24 poster?

If you're a fan of the TV Series '24', you will want to get a 24 poster for your wall.
These posters are really nice, and you can get them as large as 24"x36" (hehe - it had to be 24", right!).

I think the one shown here is cool: "Spend a day in my shoes" - LOL.

Want a '24' CTU T-shirt?

Even thought CTU is no longer in action, you can still buy the T-shirt ;)

And after the last episode, where Chloe revived the decommissioned CTU servers, it's even more fun to wear one. The T-shirt may serve as a sign of the good ol' 24 times, where Jack, Chloe and the other guys from CTU where stuffed in a basement with cool looking computers and funky ring tones.

Jon Voight gives a great performance in '24'

At last they meet: Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) questions an ill Jonas Hodges (Jon Voight), the leader of the shady military  contractor Starkwood, as Renee Walker (Annie Wersching, in reflection) watches.Jon Voight, who hasn't played in a TV series since the lates 1960s, delivered a great performance in last weeks episode of 24. He was lying in bed, recovering from a suicide attempt, when Jack Bauer arrives to question him.
Voights character, Jonas Hodges, was thought to be the guy behind the attacks on the U.S., but it seems like he was just one piece of the puzzle. The conpiracy is much larger than this.

"It's really about broadening the conspiracy," says executive producer Howard Gordon, "by delivering on the details of the threat (Jonas) made to (President) Taylor, when he said he's just a cog in a larger machine." Hodges also explains his motives.

But the confrontation didn't come soon enough for Kiefer Sutherland. "One of the great fears of mine is that in many cases in 24, characters don't meet, and Jon and I took until the very bitter end," he says. As he received script after script with no scenes between Bauer and Hodges, "I finally had to go up to Howard and said, 'If you don't let me work with him, I'll kill you.' "

Voight is happy to be a part of the 24 team, and have some thoughts to share:

“People are telling me they don’t want this character to have his demise, and I don’t know what to say to them,” said the soft-spoken Voight.

“I had seen a couple of episodes in its first season, and I was very impressed with it - and with Kiefer’s work in it.

“I had occasion to meet him then at a charity event. I didn’t know him real well, but I went up to him and said, ‘This is going to be a wonderful thing for you, and I wish you the best with it.’ Then, when they asked if I would do this, I thought, ‘That’s interesting. That almost brings it full circle.’ The first day I started work on it, Kiefer showed up at my camper to welcome me, even though he wasn’t working that day. It was such a nice thing.”

“Nice” does not apply to Voight’s “24” alter ego, since Hodges masterminded a temporary takeover of the White House, steered biological weapons into the United States and turned murderous.

“You can’t figure out who this guy is, and even as I was doing it, I didn’t know the whole story,” he said.

24: Welcome Back, CTU... Or rather, CTU-Lite

24It seemed like one of those very big events, the sort that happens in movies right before the one last fight - everybody realizes things and decides to get their heads together, before setting off for that one last fight.

It felt that way when, on last week's 24, a returning Chloe O'Brian turned on the supposedly impounded CTU servers and, suddenly, all of the monitors at FBI switched to, you guessed it, that slightly comforting CTU interface. It just needed to happen ;) By the way, It's been strange seeing 24 without the familiar CTU Ringtone and the dark, underground office compound the always used. The FBI headquarters are a bit to normal looking for my taste...hehe.

But what's really on everyone's mind is what is going to happen to Jack? Is he going to recover from the pathogen attack? Is he not actually deserving this after all he has done in the past?

Another thing is woh else is going to die this season? After the death of Bill Buchanan it seems like no one's safe in the vicity of Jack Bauer...

Who do you think will be the next on to go?
