FOX (Ended 2010)
Reasons for the prequel:
1. To completely cop out the awesome China storyline so that they can bring Jack back to LA in the actual premier
2. So that Fox can (as mentioned perfectly above) kiss Toyota's a$$ like never before.
3. Just to ramp up DVD sales.
Oh well, I hope the season turns out to be as good as we all hope it is.
Ok, although the prequel was a total let down i also believe it to be quite clever and it does leave clue's about day 6 start... Contains spoilers for those that aint seen the prequel yet!!!
1.) I believe that the 2 american commando's that come to get Jack are still working for the good guys and will be key to how CTU/President Palmer know where Jack is being held(more on this shortly). Like a double bluff if you like they work for "Evil chineese" dude take his cash and then report the location back to government when the "Sh@!" hits the fan on day 6 and the terrorists demand Jacks head in order to stop the attacks that have happened since minute 1.
2.) Jacks location is inside america without a doubt, few reasons behind this. 1). Evil chineese guy would not go all the way back to china and stay with Jack for 7 months just to find out the identity of the chineese agent helping america, he is responsible for china's interest on American Soil hence why he is hell bent on getting info from jack even though his agent says it will kill him. You can see he is under pressure, look how gutted he is on the trailer when he is handing jack back to CTU, its obvious america cut a deal with china but he does not look happy about giving him back. "He is no longer an enemy of China" he says but he failed his job on him 2.) Jacks condition is exactly as it is in the trailer so therefore the prequel is quite close to start of day 6. If day 6 starts another 11 months after the prequel then he would look much worse. 3.) He is being held in secret on american soil so that when it kicks off in the 1st hour of day 6 and the bad guys want jack he can be flown in within the hour to make his return towards the end of the 2nd hour of day 6. Now most will say bull, because you have to see jack in every episode, however opening night is a 2 hour special so effectively you will.
3.) The big question that must be asked is why do the terrorists want jack dead .... ? Seems quite personal that to me, as though the terror is not against america but in revenge? But revenge for what? Ill take a wild stab and say that the terrorists will be linked to MARWAN (Evil leader Season 4) maybe blood related and want jack dead because of the death of his brother. I also think that this plot will be sorted early in day 6 and bigger plot will be revealed then all roads point to Graham and his buddies getting ass wooped.
Well thats my 2 cents on it, maybe wrong but thought id share it with ya.
