One great innovation (or tool, if somebody else did it first) of 24 is the fast forward that occurs in between seasons. It allows a new, mysterious continuum to form and then be discovered piece by piece by the viewer. This episode begins to reveal that new continuum while setting events in motion. I like that. The first episode should be filled with hints and teases.
I forgot how bad the dialogue and acting was on 24. Even Jack Bauer and Cloe absolutely murder some of their lines.
LUDICROUS MOMENT: A suspect has been brought into CTU regarding a terrorist attack that has just occurred. There is also chatter about a possible 8AM attack. Jack Bauer is no longer with CTU but is visiting in his role as laison for the Secretary of Defense. After less than five minutes of interrogation by CTU, Jack takes it upon himself to not only break into the interrogation room holding the suspect and lock himself in there with him, but then, after failing to illicit information via yelling and table throwing, SHOOTS the suspect in the leg AND THEN begin TORTURING him by digging the tip of his pistol into the suspect's wound. Jack is incredulous when CTU actually takes him into custody after he does this.
