And seasons 4/5.

Anyone else see Redemption last night? I thought it was a good bridging episode to show that Jack has been away for a long time dodging a subpoena. It also nicely is setting up events of season 7. A lot of the deaths in the episode were quite predictable, but it was still exciting. It seemed that Jonas Hodges (Jon Voight's character) took a big risk in killing Chris. I'd think the President's son (Roger) might be a bit suspicious, especially not being able to find the body. I think something drug related that would completely discredit him would have been better. Now Hodges' men want to keep an eye on Roger. Now what are they going to do with him? That is quite dangerous. Just what are Hodges' motives in this whole thing anyway? I am looking forward to the season start in January.

Ron started a thread for it here: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...edemption.html

I thought I'd bump this thread since S7 starts in a week.

And for anyone that missed it, Redemption reruns tonight at 8 PM.

 

[JediFonger]

it'll be on Sundays yeah? we'll also be getting all first 4 episodes am i right?

 

[KevinGress]

I thought it was on Mondays, with the first 2 hours being on Sunday, and the second 2 being on Monday, then 1 hour on Mondays for the next 20 weeks.

 

[TravisR]

^Yeah, the 'two night premiere' is Sunday, Jan. 11 and Monday, Jan. 12 at 8 PM and the regular time is Monday at 9 PM (starting Jan. 19).

I'm guessing, if the past couple seasons are any indication, that it'll take a little less than 20 weeks. The season finale will almost certainly be two hours, and usually they sneak another two-hour block in around mid-season. That's always the most exciting part when they're showing you next week's preview and the announcer suddenly says that next week's broadcast will be a double!

I didn't get the sub-title of the two-hour movie. Here's a guy who has singlehandedly saved L.A. from total destruction at least twice, stopped a deadly virus from circulating across the US, prevented the assasination of a Presidential candidate and has shown himself willing on a number of occasions to sacrifice his own life for the sake of his country, and yet he somehow has to seek (or be given) "redemption" ?

 

[Jason Seaver]

Jack, himself, clearly feels he has much to atone for: In his mind, his wife met a bad end because of him, Audrey was held prisoner and tortured, and, heck, you just have to look at the beginning of season 5, where David Palmer and Michelle Dessler were murdered in large part to frame him (and Tony soon followed). He's made a hash of his daughter's life. It's not unreasonable for him to want to do so unambiguous good.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

The TV movie was originally to be called "Exile", and they only changed the title a month or two before it aired. I think it fit better than "Redemption", but really, what's in a name?

 

[WillG]

As has been speculated on "Redemption" probably has a double meaning as in a redemption of the series from the (according to popular opinion) way sub-par season Six

 

[JediFonger]

well, in the process of saving the village, he still got his special ops-friend-turned-mr.-charity killed as well. surely he's going to hell j/k

 

[WillG]

We never actually saw him die. Which in the "24" universe means he certainly could still be alive.

 

[Josh Dial]

Heck, even if we see them die, that means very little!

 

[TravisR]

For what it's worth, I think Robert Carlyle's character is dead but if they wanted to bring him back, the door is open. Afterall, the bad guy colonel that he blew up withended up surviving the landmine explosion in the extended cut of Redemption and is featured in S7.

 

[KevinGress]

I don't know that I'd want to see Robert Carlyle's character considering what shape he'd probably be in!

Actually, unless he shows up early this season, I highly doubt he's going to show up - Robert Carlyle's been hired to star in Stargate:Universe that will start filming very shortly.

 

[JediFonger]

i only know who robert carlyle is after his appearance on this and now SGU.

 

[Jeff Jacobson]

Actually, her own stupid decisions did that.
