what in the world is a 'tent-pole event'?
i like this: "The high-octane saga will reunite showrunner Howard Gordon with Sutherland and retain the real-time, pulse-pounding, fast-paced format with split screens and complex interweaving storylines, with 12 episodes representing 24 hours. The suspenseful event series once again follows the exploits of heroic agent Jack Bauer (Sutherland), who will resume his story several years following the events of the final season."
the first three seasons were outstanding. hope they can recapture that so set things up for an epic showdown being jack bauer and brody (the guy on homeland).
