So what exactly happened between the end of Season 6, when Jack Bauer seems to be seriously contemplating suicide by leaping off that great big cliff outside Audrey Heller’s house, and his appearance in Africa during the 24 TV movie, “24: Exile”? Who knows, but hopefully we’ll find out why Jack Bauer is running around the woods trying to save little African kids from big African guys with machineguns. But if not — hey, there’s always Jack Bauer killing a bunch of said big African guys with machineguns. That’s fun times in any language, kiddos.

Here’s a promo image of Jack in the jungle. Kiefer Sutherland returns as America’s baddest badass late 2008. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, check it out here.

Season 7 of 24 returns January 2009.
