24: Redemption

So apparently Fox had a Exclusapalooza on Sunday and had a 7 minute preview of The Day the Earth Stood Still and the first trailer for 24: Redemption, a 2 hour special that will help bridge the gap between Season 6 and 7 and make up for the fact that there was no 24 this year due to the writer’s strike.  Jack has left the US and is in Africa working as a missionary when a warlord starts a coup.  Powers Boothe and Peter MacNicol are both back and Jon Voight shows up looking shifty as hell.  It looks like it’s going to be pretty good, the writers have definitely seen Blood Diamond a few times, but I’m worried because Season 6 was so terrible.  We’ll have to see how it is in November.
