I had the incredible priveledge of seeing the first three hours of season 4 this evening. All I can say is, what a f'n ride it's gonna be!

All of the spoilers going around right now are pretty much right on. The train scene, does in fact, occur at 7am -- not in Los Angeles, but a little ways up north in Santa Clarita. The sun shows up shortly after.

The beginning to this season already blows S3's opening out of the water. Jack is off the smack (mentions it once or twice -- it's partially the reason he was fired from CTU) and by the middle of episode two he's already working for CTU again (only because they have no other choice.)

The last six minutes of episode 1 are some of sickest in 24's run and Jack wastes no time in showing just how much of a badass he is. It's one of those cheer at your tv set moments that this show is all about!

I don't wait to give a billion spoilers right now -- mainly because its kinda late and I'm still soaking it in myself...haha.

I will say this. The new Jack at CTU, named Ronnie, is like this bizarro version of Jack as if we're watching a 24 show within 24. If that make's any sense. It's like watching some strange actor play Jack. Don't worry...he's not around long at all.

If anyone has any specific questions, post 'em here, and I'll do my best to answer!

But to sum it up, season 4 ROCKS. Very similar setup to season one, which is fine with me

Hey, that sounds amazing!
Do you know how Kalil kills Andrew Paige ?
And what is Tony Plana's characters name ?
What happens after Jack tracks Kalil after the robbery ?
Who are some guest stars in 4.2 and 4.3 ?
How often is Keeler in the episodes ?
What happens to Ronnie after Jack takes him down at the train station ?
Can you try and give me a complete list of all the characters ?

54173.3 in reply to 54173.2

I'll do my best to answer!

Do you know how Kalil kills Andrew Paige ?
Ok. So maybe ALL the spoilers weren't right. At the end of episode 3, Andrew's no longer a hostage -- and he's still alive! But not in very good shape. C'mon.. did you really think Jack wouldn't save the guy?

And what is Tony Plana's characters name ?
I SUCK with remembering names. There were a lotta them to digest too. Will need to watch again to get the name for you.

What happens after Jack tracks Kalil after the robbery ?
Episode 3 ends right as jack throws on the mask, walks in, and tells everyone he's robbin' the place. ACK! I need more already!

Who are some guest stars in 4.2 and 4.3 ?
Again, will have to watch again and really take in all the new characters. There's so many of them. One character is a woman (Aisha Tyler) brought in who evidently was having a fling w/ one of the new CTU guys. Based on what I've seen so far, they're somewhat the David / Sherry of this season. Let's just say, it seems she's up to no good. But that could just be what they want us to think!

How often is Keeler in the episodes ?
A fair amount. Definitely less than Palmer was though. The season starts off with him up in the sky on Air Force One.

What happens to Ronnie after Jack takes him down at the train station?
He's actually the one who takes down Jack. Bad move...

Can you try and give me a complete list of all the characters?
I couldn't even BEGIN to try. There's LOTS!

Hope that helps, sorry I couldn't be more helpful w/ all the names!

What happens in the last six minutes of the first episode?

Jack sees the interrorgation is getting NOWHERE, decides to take matters into his own hands. In true Bauer fashion, he takes out the CTU guard within about 10 seconds, busts into the interrogation room, throws the table, shoots the guy in the leg and screams "WHAT IS YOUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE???"

He then says, "The Secretary of Defense." And everyone starts freaaaaaaakin' out.

Jack frantically tries to get a hold of Audrey. She's talking to her dad who is on the phone w/ the Pres. Her phone keeps ringing, but she's taking her time in answering. It's all gonna go down at 8am. We're getting closer. She picks up. Jack -- (i'm paraphrasing) "You'r father's the target... get out IMMEDIATELY!" She can't grasp what he's saying soon enough, because out of nowhere a missile swoops in, blows up Heller's car, his men all get shot, and a van comes up and picks them up -- all the while, Jack is still on the phone and hearing allll of it.

The ticker comes on...end of the hour.

Whew!

As for Audrey and Heller... I've read a lot of the spoilers, but not every last one that's out there so I don't know how detailed a story you have on them yet. Most of this info is readily available though I think.

Pretty much, they're captured at the end of hour one and taken to a complex -- the same one where the briefcase is delivered by Behrooz. (We still don't know what's in the briefcase by the end of ep 3.) Audrey wasn't originally part of the plan (at least that's what we believe so far) and it's all about her dad.

He's accused of crimes against humanity by our fellow Turkish terrorists and (i think) in episode three a LIVE WEBCAST goes out everywhere where they bring him out and tell the world he is to be excecuted in three hours.
