Huge news right here if you can't wait for the new season of 24 to roll around. Apparently, the first four episodes of the new season have been leaked to the web and they're readily available for those that like poking through various BitTorrent sites. It's speculated that this may be the doing of AsiaTeam, a group who has been credited with uploading TV shows in the past. Seems like they may have gotten hold of the DVD that FOX plans to release after the premiere airs.
It took me a few minutes, but so far I've found dedicated links to the first two episodes. For legal reasons, I can't provide the links. However, I'm not even close to what I would call technically savvy. So if I can find these, anyone can. Happy hunting Jack Bauer fans.

It seems to me as if David is saying what's the point of Fox releasing the DVD after the episodes have aired. I didn't think he was calling the post itself lame, but hey I could be wrong.

I know people who wait for 24 to be over and on DVD before they watch it. They Netflix or buy it and watch it in one sitting. Fox knows what they're doing - it will sell.

Thank you Dan and Icheb, Stephan seems to be pretty... well dumb.
And why would anyone buy a DVD with 4 episodes on it for $15 when in a few months you can buy the whole season on sale for $20-$25?

This seems to be a pretty popular torrent, although I'm not seeing very much as far as seeders go. Lots and lots of leechers.

my bad, when we hear releasing and episodes in the same phrase, we usually mean torrent release...
anyway, it seems obvious as to why it wouldn't be a good idea to release THE DVD before the episodes air. I agree that it might seems weird to produce such a dvd at all but the fact is that it worked pretty well with futurama.

My point is just don't release the DVD with the 4 episodes on it at all.

ok. well i've finished watching the first two, and will likely watch the other two tomorrow when i wake up. Its just too late to stay up for 2 more hours. at any rate, alexandar siddig fans will love the second hour, as his character is the islamic version of Jack Bauer....and thats a veeeeerry good thing. lmao

Well I've watched them all and a few storylines come to a close and there's a fairly major character death. Palmer's sister seems to be the only storyline that's currently stretching and it's almost bursting at the seams, especially considering the last few moments of the fourth episode at CTU. Jack also goes through quite a rollercoaster of emotions and self-doubt. Nothing much new, especially the ending. It's not NEW, but it IS surprising.

Nice little blink-and-u-miss-it cameo from Stephen Merchant in the first episode.
