Are you getting excited about the upcoming season of 24? I mean, yeah, it’s like 7 months away, but still.

Would it damper your anticipation if you knew Tony Almeida was not only back from the dead, but likely a suspect in terrorism attacks?

From the News Observer (via Remote Access), we get this tidbit from executive producer Manny Coto:

But while Jack is in Washington, FBI agent Renee Walker brings him in to deal with a series of possible terrorist attacks instigated by former CTU agent Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard), previously presumed dead. “Jack’s thrust into this mystery of how Tony is still alive, and why is he trying to bring down this country?”

So what the heck is with Tony? He was dead, then saved Jack’s life once, and now he’s going to be a bad guy?

I didn’t like last season all that much and now I am slightly worried about this one. What about you guys?
