24 Season 6

24 Season 6

24 Season 6 is a series that I am not sure that I really understand.  The premise is that each season is broken up into episodes that are only an hour’s worth of relative time to the characters in the show.  24 Season 6 for 24 begins at six am about twenty months after the end of Season 5.  The show is set up without the use of dates so that the viewer is always in a state of “perpetual” now as the shows producers like to say.

Jack Bauer – played by Kiefer Sutherland, is the main character as usual.  A little background from Season 5 is necessary to set the stage for 24 Season 6.  In the several weeks prior to the start of Season 6 the United States has been the target of numerous suicide bombings along the East Coast.  A man named Abu Fayed offers information as to the location of the mastermind behind the attacks, a man named Hamri Al-Assad, in exchange for Jack Bauer, with whom Fayed has a grudge against.  After negotiating Jack’s release from the Chinese, having been illegally detained at the end of Season 5, the President allows Jack to be taken by Fayed.

While under torture from Fayed, jack learns that Al-Assad is actually trying to stop the attacks and Fayed is the true ring leader.  Fayed’s ultimate goal is to detonate a series of nuclear bombs on United States soil.  Jack and the CTU with Assad’s help after Jack saves him from an air strike will attempt to recover all of the remaining nuclear devices after the first one is detonated.

The Season can be broken down in the following way.  Episodes 1-4 deal with the release of Jack by the Chinese through the intervention of President Wayne Palmer who asks Jack to give himself to Fayed in exchange for the target information on Al-Assad.  Bauer is torture, finds about the true plot, escapes and foils the attempt to eliminate Assad and then has to kill Curtis Manning to keep Assad alive following the detonation of a nuclear device in Valencia, California just north of Los Angeles.

Episodes 5-11 deal with Jack finding out that his father and his brother Graem are involved in the plot as well.  Jack gets a lead to former President Charles Logan who tells him his Russian contact can help him get a line on the bombs.  The Russian, Gredenko, actually supplied Fayed with the bombs and planned to send drones to help attack the United States.  President Warren refuses to attack the responsible countries and has Assad make a peace plea to the world and Deputy Chief of Staff Reed Pollock, who considers himself to be a true patriot, plans to assassinate the President.  Chief of Staff Tom Lennox tries to stop the attack but is unsuccessful and the bomb kills Assad and critically injures President Warren.
