Just in case you’ve been living under a huge boulder and haven’t heard the news…
The SPanks were majorly excited when we first heard about this. Soon, however, we realized that most of us had never watched 24. The idea of doing a marathon catch up of the first 7 seasons frightened many Spanks. It’s just too daunting of a task. And quite frankly, many of us are just too lazy to pull off something like that.
So here is a little primer to get you started…
What we know so far…
We know very little in fact. Katee will be playing the role of Dana Walsh, a highly respected and down-to-earth data analyst at the new and improved New York branch of CTU. Sackhoff’s character will be in a relationship with fellow agent Davis Cole played by Freddie Prinze, Jr. In true 24 fashion, Dana Walsh has some big secret she’s trying to keep secret.
We have yet to come across any legitimate pictures from the set. What we do have though, is a sketchy video that some brave soul risked life and limb to capture at Comic Con.
We also have some equally dodgy screencaps from that video.
But hey, SPanks aren’t too choosey and we’ll take what we can get. We just hope we get to see a lot more of Katee in that little black dress.
Just what is 24? 24 is an American serial action/drama television series. Broadcast by Fox in the United States and syndicated worldwide, the show first aired on November 6, 2001. 24 is the second longest-running espionage series in television history, behind the original Mission: Impossible by number of episodes and The Avengers by longevity of broadcast.
24 is broadcast in “real time”, with each season depicting a 24-hour period in the life of Jack Bauer, who works with the United States government as it fights fictitious terrorist threats to the United States. Bauer is often in the field for the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit as it tries to safeguard the nation from terrorist threats. The show also follows the actions of other CTU agents, government officials and terrorists associated with the plot. The first six seasons of the show were all based in Los Angeles and nearby locations in California. Departing from tradition, the seventh season is set primarily in Washington, D.C. and the eight season will take place in New York City.
Interesting fact I learned while doing my exhaustive research…
Immediately prior to 24, series co-creators Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran executive-produced La Femme Nikita. Both series deal with anti-terrorist operations, and the lead characters of both series are placed in situations where they must make a tragic choice in order to serve the greater good. As a result, the on and off-screen creative connections between 24 and LFN are highly pronounced. Numerous actors from LFN have portrayed similar roles on 24, a number of story concepts from LFN have been revisited on 24, and many of the creative personnel from LFN currently work (or have worked) on 24 in the same capacity.
Well, I thought it was neat anyway.
Who’s in 24?
24 is known for making major changes to its main cast every season. The exception being Kiefer Sutherland, who is the only main cast member to star in all seven seasons to date. Due to the unpredictable nature of each season's storyline, main cast members are added and dropped frequently. Season 8 Main Characters and Cast
• Jack Bauer, portrayed by Kiefer Sutherland
• Chloe O'Brian, portrayed by Mary Lynn Rajskub
• Omar Hassan, portrayed by Anil Kapoor
• Renee Walker, portrayed by Annie Wersching
• Brian Hastings, portrayed by Mykelti Williamson
• Dana Walsh, portrayed by Katee Sackhoff
• Rob Weiss, portrayed by Chris Diamantopoulos
• Arlo Glass, portrayed by John Boyd
• Cole Ortiz, portrayed by Freddie Prinze Jr.
• Allison Taylor, portrayed by Cherry Jones
So what’s happened up to now? (this is all you really care about isn’t it?)
In an effort to be spoiler conscious, I'm only posting links to the wikipedia main article for each season. These are very detailed summaries and should have everything you need to know (and more) to get caught up with what's happened.
