Season five picks up 18 months after the exciting conclusion of season four, as national security is brutally breached. A shaky President Logan (Gregory Itzin) is running the nation, while composed Bill Buchanan (James Morrison) commands CTU alongside key operatives Curtis Manning (Roger Cross), Edgar Stiles (Louis Lombardi) and Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub). Also featured in season five will be Emmy Award-winning actress Jean Smart as First Lady Martha Logan. In addition, Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) and Audrey Raines (Kim Raver) return.
Julian Sands (Warlock) joins the cast as billionaire bad guy "Vladamir Bierko," (If there is a Jackie Morales character I am suing) while Peter Weller (Robocop) plays Christopher Henderson, a federal agent who recruited Jack to counter terrorist work more than a decade ago. Also joining the cast are JoBeth Williams (Poltergeist) who plays Henderson's wife Miriam and while Sean Astin's ( Goonies, Rudy, Lord of the Rings)character Lynn McGill joins CTU.

There are ONLY 2 things i'm asking for from 24 this season:
1. Please don't "bite off more than you can chew". Last season they had The Sec. of Defense and his daughter kidnapped, nuclear reactors shut down, Air Force blown out of the sky, Top Secret briefcases stolen, a nuclear missle trying to take out Los Angeles. All this in a 24 Hour period; riiiiiiiiiiiiight, that's possible. They need not include so many possible scenarios and stick with one crisis like they have done in previous seasons.
2. NO MORE MOLES AT CTU!!!!!!!! Jesus H. Christ don't these people do background checks!!!!!!
Still, i'm very much looking forward to the new season in Jan. Posts: 1707 | From: Los Angeles, Ca. | Registered: Jun 2002

I wouldn't be suprised if someone tried to off Bauer at CTU, looks like this year, everyone who knows " Bauer' is alive is now a target.

My Season 5 prediction: Chloe and Edgar do the nasty on Jack's old desk at CTU and she yells out "Ohhhh yeahhh Jack!" at the worst possible moment sending Edgar into violent jealous rage resulting in President Logan messing his britches when he finds out about it.
quote:24 Season Five - January 15th, 2006 24 will return with a four-hour, two-night season premiere on Sunday, January 15th and Monday, January 16th (8 pm - 10 pm ET/PT). 24 then returns to its regular weekly time slot on Monday, January 23rd at 9:00 pm.
I'm pretty sure that the voice screaming " Get Help' is Wayne Palmer- David Palmer's brother and former chief of staff ( Season 3).

Def. Sounds like Palmer's Brother. Also that Terrorist appears to be a suicide bomber at an airport.

Apparently, it starts on Sky 1 on February 20th. That info could be subject to slight change.

I don't think so because I think the actress is on another show now. But I could be wrong on both counts.
I am, however, really pumped for this season! I just wish Blockbuster would rent the last smegging disc of Season 4 so I could check out that Season 5 prequel. Grrrrrr.

I thought the prequel was just a glorified commercial for Toyota, seeing how it was "Presented by Toyota" and a great majority of it involved a car chase in a Toyota.

Just finished the Season 4 DVD and I've gotta disagree with DarthAl about the biting off more than they could chew thing. I thought they stayed more focused last year than any year since Season 1. Season 3 was a much worse case of going all over the map (honestly, I can't even remember the logic to half of it). And Season 2 had all the silly Kimberly scenes.
Season 4 was very tight in terms of the plotting. One thing led to another pretty seemlessly. I attribute much of it to having a good villain who appeared relatively early in the season.
Though I don't quite remember what happened with the Azaz kid after Marwand got him back. I think they just dropped it and let us assume they killed him. Tough luck kid

Excellent. I hope they bring back Holtz too

My favorite part of the previews they've been showing is when Buchanan tries to order Jack around and he says "let's get this clear Bill. I DON'T WORK FOR YOU!" or something like that, but it was awesome!

I actually really like Buchanan, the actor played TC McQueen on Space: Abover and Beyond.

Come on Sunday! WOO HOO!! Just finished reading the big EW article on 24 and now I regret it because it's got me wanting the eps to start more than ever, if that's possible!
