[edit] DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE WITHOUT HARD FACTS

Thank you. Kimpire 21:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

i bet you that someone is going to add cast rumours/speculations within the week Q5 den 05:11, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
  • sigh*. Does wikipedia have a legal death penalty? Kimpire 05:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
an i win!!! Q5 den 04:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
This is why i proposed this article for deletion. The new season doesn't even air until next year! This article is going to get hit by a hell of alot of speculation, spam, vandalism, ect. dposse 23:27, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
The fact that an article is going to get hit with vandalism is no reason to delete it. How often do articles on famous, important subjects get hit with vandalism? Your argument only implies that this article should be locked for editing only by experienced users. Deleting it lets the terrorists vandals win. Kimpire 21:35, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Deletion? I don't see any problem, unless this article becomes home to rumors, speculation, and no hard facts. But for starters, we can start posting info on returning characters from TV Guide. If someone wants to start that process that would be great, just ensure you use citations.


Re unknown-authored comment above: This article is *already* home to rumors, speculation, and no hard facts. It should really be wiped clean. Kimpire 22:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree. It is way too early for this page to be here. dposse 15:25, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Anyone seen the 24 DVD board game, I saw it at the book store yesterday. Theres no Wiki article.

[edit] Rumors, 18 months, shorter-delay, better season?

Whoever wrote the article needs to cite sources; so they won't be viewed as rumors; or else I'd have to agree with the article being deleted or at least shortened.

The article speculates that the season may have another 18 month gap in time. But isn't this highly unlikely? Once Jack is captured; the race to bring him back begins right away; so I wouldn't be surprised if Season 6 begins only 1 day after the disappearance of Jack. But I guess it would make sense for some sort of time gap; assuming no one finds out that they had shipped Jack off to China (and then it is later revealed). But shouldn't the Chinese be a prime suspect? I mean, they were looking for Jack for a full 18 months during his hiding right? So if he disappears; it's probably China. So I doubt it's 18 months -- are there sources that say so?

I remember reading an article that there will be a shorter delay between season 5 and season 6; so that fans of the show won't have to wait as long to catch the next season. But season 6 is airing in January, as usual. What happened?

There's actually a very good chance that there may be an 18 month interval, due to precedcence. Days 1 & 2 had an 18 month gap. Days 3 & 4 had another 18 month gap, and Days 4 & 5 had an 18 month gap.

In the season 4 article, it states that season 4 was considered to be the "best" season based on ratings and fan reaction. So now that season 5 has recently come to an end; how are the ratings and fan-reaction -- could this be crowned the new "best" season? 24.23.51.27 01:51, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

That belongs in the season 5 discussion Q5 den 03:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

According to the 24 HQ, which sites a source on Tv.com, Kiefer says Day 6 takes place more than a year later, possibly two. http://24fan.blogspot.com/

[edit] Can *somebody* please start citing their sources for editing this article?

Please? I am this close to wiping the entire thing clean and writing stub-like sentences from scratch if we don't stop with the speculation. Kimpire 22:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Since someone thought it was a good idea to remove my deletion request, i have removed all speculation from this article. Since this article was created so early, we need to be very careful. The sixth season of 24 does not air until next year. We cannot have "general summaries" or anything of the kind until much later in the year when someone official announces something. dposse 22:46, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
General Summary --> Background make you happy now? Q5 den 23:38, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes, that is much better. Thank you.dposse 04:43, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'm not sure why we're asking about Wayne Palner.

He went to Buchanan's house, no? It is so unlikely that he went to sleep?

I don't know if he went to Bill's house for sure. It wasn't clearly stated in the episode. I reckon he's okay. Now Evelyn and her daughter, on the other hand... Peanutbuttercups 04:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speculation

Whoever put up the "citation needed"s has a good point. The entire article was pure speculative bull until the general summary was cleaned up; but I'm wondering where the "confirmed to return"s came from and how much speculation those are as well. Given that Kiefer Sutherland does have a three-year contract, I know his at least is fact (though I don't know where to find the citation for that, because I saw the article a long time a go). The other characters, though... unless somebody puts up a source in a week I suggest they be removed. Kimpire 22:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers

"Executive Producer Howard Gordon has said in interviews that Jack will escape the Chinese in the first episode." Did he really? I don't recall him ever saying that. I do know he said that the season won't take place in China (due to the time zone difference between Los Angeles and China). So I don't think he necessarily escapes, per se. The show just won't be set there. Does anybody have any links to Gordon stating that Jack escapes? Peanutbuttercups 04:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Great point. I've tried pretty hard to find corroborating information for that assertion but haven't had any success. --

Huysmantalk 11:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I have heard a recording where Howard Gordon said that Season 6 wont be set in china however they are considering doing a prequel to Season 6 which would deal with Jacks escape from China. i think i found the site from a link on www.24.tvheaven.com

Pat 16:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

If you don't present the citation, we can't allow it; otherwise this article will be overrun by speculation from any number of sources. Kimpire 21:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What happened to...

I removed the bits about Kim Bauer and President Keeler because they don't seem to have any bearing on the plot of season 6. Kim Bauer just leaves, without any explanation necessary; President Keeler's death or permanent incapacitation is probably irrelevant. Wayne Palmer should stay, however, because they made a point of not being able to find him in the final episode and that might be relevant; similarly, James Heller was left alive for a reason, one would assume.

If anyone disagrees with any of those choices let me know. Kimpire 21:43, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

...Okay, everybody keeps bringing back the German agent. For frell's sake, he was a minor character. Why not ask if we've seen the last of every single character seen since episode one, day one? Kimpire 21:43, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

For the love of God. Bauer and the German agent have finalized their divorce and are working on custody issues of their children. For god's sake, he appeared in two episodes! Get over it! Kimpire 21:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I dont think this is the case at all, and is worthy of discussion. Previous events in 24 would suggest that this agent will play a future part - Jack clearly offers to get this agent something of value in the future. Kyle, 23:53 28 June 2006 (GMT)

I was just wondering about Mandy. Will she be in this next season? You would think they would eventually give her a more important role in a season. She always appears in 1 or 2 episodes. She's definetly at large because she got immunity in season 4. I have not seen anything to prove she will be in it, and I was just wondering if anybody else has seen anything.

[edit] Add a Rumors Section

Just add a section for rumors, also possibly asking for a source so no one makes random crap up.

No.--DethFromAbove 01:42, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

All the news which is cited as being found at the heritage foundation is no longer available, as when you follow the link their site says they cannot find the page, and for the terrorists this should not have the 24 insider messenger board as a source as it requires a username and password to access the required information


17:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] 24 Insider

Why don't people get that 24 Insider(fan site) is a respected source? --Jasonflare 19:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

That's because it's a fan site. It is not a source, and it should not be used as a source. Unless you can provide a better source for infomation, all infomation gained from that website will be deleted. dposse 22:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wayne Palmer as President

It doesn't make any sense at all, I like his character but come on.

Yeah, I agree, Heller should definitely be President.
Point is moot, watch the trailer.

[edit] semi protection.

I have requested that this page be Semi Protected because of the vandals who think that a fan site is a good source for infomation, per WP:V, WP:RS. dposse 18:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The New POTUS

the 24 insider as well as the new york times have confirmed that Wayne Palmer is not the President in season 6, and that negotiations for Jon Tenney to play this role has fallen through.

The 24 Insider is not a source, as i've stated above. dposse 16:09, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hertiage Foundation and other notes

First, I added a couple things, including a link to the Hertiage Foundation transcript. I contains several notes used in this summery, and also promised the return of Aaron Pierce. Secondly, while I understand the hesitation of members of this site to use spoilers from The 24 Community (renamed version of the Insider), I should note that the site has a better track record than some of the actual sources used in this article. I'm not going to post unconfirmed stuff from there, but I'm just saying, they're pretty freaking accuriate. --WhoIsWillo 20:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cheng Zhi

I noticed someone put down that cheng Zhi dies and as such this needs to be verified so im putting in "Citation needed". Pat 16:01, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] James Heller!!!!!!!!!!!!

who keep putting in the SecDef Jim Heller will be next president, there are no sources indicating this and as such if you cannot find one this piece of info will be removed

Pat 14:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I found a page linking Wayne Palmer as the next president, so I've changed the information. I'm pasting the original Heller post here for safekeeping. "* Hal Gardner has since died, and former secretary of defence James Heller wins the election and takes over the presidency, he appoints Audrey Raines (Kim Raver), his daughter, as his chief of staff." 63.88.58.254 16:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Head of CTU?

Who's the Head? Is it still Bill Buchanan(James Morrison), or this new actress, Marisol Nichols? Or is Nichols going to be head of ALL of CTU, meaning nationally?? Or is there just to few information out there too even guess?


[edit] Kim Bauer?

Why did someone write Kim was on there, I watched Jimmy Kimmel last night and Elisha was on, she said she is still waiting for a call to return. Plus the link provided had nothing to do with Kim, so I removed that until evidence appears.- Puppet125

[edit] Unconfirmed reports

There is an unconfirmed report from a reliable source that Paul McCrane will return to play Graham and we will meet the Graham family.

[edit] James Heller

Why didn't they make James Heller President?

Because they didn't want to. WhoIsWillo 15:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
wow, what an insightful reply genius.
why didn't they make Jack Bauer president? Or Bill Buchanan? BECAUSE their storyline requires Palmer being Pres. 71.54.90.110 02:41, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction

In the known details section, it says Jack's "two months into his Chinese incarceration", yet later says the series begins 20 months after the last. I doubt the Chinese would take 1 1/2 years to put Jack away. 84.65.102.19 18:59, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mike Novick????

Any news on the return of Jude Ciccolella (Mike Novick)? I know it's a long shot but we can all hope, right? Spebudmak 21:31, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Josh Bauer

I erased where it said that Josh Bauer would be a character on the show. A myspace conversation isn't exactly a reliable source.

[edit] Jet Li???

Where's the reference for Jet Li's appearance? There's nothing on the Jet Li article, and I can't find any references via google. Is this just a rumor? --TimPendragon 06:16, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Just wait until we get an official announcement before posting anything. --Order_66 08:45, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Foreign premieres

Any news on when the season will be shown outside the US? Battle Ape 15:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

As Far As I am aware Sky One will Show Season 6 In the UK on Sunday February 11 [1] Pat 12:07, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
What about Australia? Battle Ape 15:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eddie Izzard

Can we get a citation or a reason why Eddie Izzard appears to no longer be signed on for the show? StoopidEmu 07:16, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode Listing

Can someone provide a citation or source for the recent listing of episodes? Otherwise, I'm removing it. Order_66 10:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

i've removed it. it was completely unsourced/original research and it went against a whole bunch of wikipedia guidelines. dposse 15:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
