24 Headquarters Closing Shop

Hey all,

Unfortunately 24Headquarters will cease updating as of today.  In fact, this is my last post as editor.

The good news is the blog will stay up, so you can look through past stories and comment to heart’s content.  There’s a good chance it will be back in action before 24: Exile premieres at the end of November, so stick around.

Until then I encourage you all to visit Penny Keating’s Kiefer Sutherland Fansite, Spoiler TV and to update your google news readers.

I want to thank everyone for being so awesome, I think 24HQ has a really great community and even though the show has been off the air for such a long period of time, you guys are still passionate about it.  I don’t think most show’s would have the same dedicated audience.

Thanks Guys!
Diana

Geek Fight: Chloe vs. Janis

We know very little about Janeane Garofalo’s upcoming character, Janis Gold, other than that she’ll be part of a group of agent’s investigating a national security crisis.  Now comes news that she may end up sparing with Chloe O’Brian, who along with Bill Buchanan will be rogue aides to Jack.

As I looked at the season seven promo photo’s, I couldn’t help but wonder, who’d win in a fight?  Gold’s slightly nerdy glasses infer that she is tv ’smart’, and Garofalo’s eyebrow’s give a bad ass vibe but then there’s Chloe.  In the past she’s been known to yield a machine gun to awesome results but she has been domesticated and is shockingly cracking a smirk in her official photo.

So I think all bets are off.

If they were gonna throw down, whose side would you be on?

Kurtwood Smith on Taking on Jack Bauer

Anyone who ever watched That 70’s Show knows that Kurtwood Smith can yell and interrogate like the best of him. He’ll be appearing in the upcoming season of 24 as a senator who doesn’t exactly agree with Jack’s tactic’s.

Smith recently spoke to Kristen over at E! about his character’s interaction with Jack Bauer, saying,  “I‘m in the first episode, and then I don’t come back until episode 10. I’m a U.S. senator, and the first episode is in a hearing room—where I’m grilling Jack—and then a good deal of the rest of it takes place in the White House, and what we’re shooting this week is my last big scene, and it’s just Kiefer and I. It’s a very interesting scene. It really addresses the argument between my character and Kiefer’s attempt at justifying what he has to do.”

It’ll be interesting to see Jack have to defend his actions for once.  There’s no doubt he’s quick to torture, even if it does get results for him in the end.

Buy Kiefer Sutherland’s House, Only $4,895,000

From the outside it looks like the homeless shelter down the street from my parent’s house but from the inside Kiefer Sutherland’s warehouse is pretty damn nice.  It’s got a gym, a sauna, a recording studio, 25 foot ceilings and is impeccably decorated.

Sutherland bought the downtown LA pad is 2002 for $700,000 and is flipping it for nearly five million.  Talk about a good real estate deal.  One downside, the area is better known for its crackheads and homeless than celebrity sightings.  To each one’s own I suppose.

Season 7 Gets Another Villain

Well, he may just be a henchman.  Rory Cochran will join 24 playing an associate of Jonas Hodges.  Hodges, played by Jon Voight, was previously announced to be season seven’s big bad, a character Voight described as “a witty fellow, sarcastic perhaps. He’s intimidating because he plays it light, but he’s got a sharp barb – his tongue can hurt you. He’s got a sense of humor, but boy, he’s dangerous.” No doubt if Rory Cochran’s character is running with Hodges, he’s bad news.

Cochran is best known to television audiences as Tim Speedle on CBS’ CSI Miami.  His movie roles have included Dazed and Confused, Empire Records and A Scanner Darkly.

Mary Lynn Rajskub Has a Baby Boy

Congratulations to Mary Lynn Rajskub and partner Matthew Rolph on their new arrival, Valentine Anthony.  Valentine weighed in at 9lbs and 5oz’s.

Rajskub made light of the late delivery (she was two weeks past her due date), by telling People Magazine that “It was like an episode of 24 with the clock ticking.”

Let’s hope kids in preschool call the kid Val, otherwise he may be in for some beat downs.

24 at Comic Con: The Damnit Drinking Game (VIDEO)

If you’ve ever watched 24 with a group of friends, odds are alcohol has been involved.  If not, seriously, WHY not?  One infamous part of every 24 drinking game is to drink whenever Jac yells ‘Damnit’ at someone.  The crew behind 24 are aware of this, and told the crowd at Comic Con how they have fun with the word.

And Cameron? That must have made his year.

24 at Comic Con: How They Plan to Make Season 7 Not Suck and Photo’s

We all know season six of 24 sucked. It was bad. So bad we longed for the cougar to return and finish Kim off. The talent behind 24 know fans we’re the most receptive to season six, and according to Kiefer Sutherland they’re doing everything they can to make season seven something we’d want to see.

“We’re not trying to invent the show. We’re trying to take what you guys say you like. We’re trying to take out what you don’t like and put in what you do like.” That right there? That’s so a backhand reference to the fact that no one liked last year.

Check out some photo’s of Kiefer Sutherland, Carlos Bernard and Jon Cassar below:

Exclusive panel photo’s to come in a little while.
