February 6, 2017 at 12:33 amHe’s got a great screen presence in my opinion. He could make Eric Carter a memorable character like Kiefer Sutherland did with Jack Bauer. I know I’m going to piss a lot of people off with this comment but that’s the way I feel.

February 6, 2017 at 2:31 amThe split-screen at the end with Andy and Rebecca dragging Keith’s body through a hallway and stuffing him into a room was unintentionally hilarious. Most CTU employees are completely oblivious to all the crazy shenanigans that happen there.

February 7, 2017 at 5:33 amMy headcanon is that wherever Chloe is these days, she’s keeping tabs on Jack as best she can, then she relays the intel to Belchek, who is always in close proximity to Jack. And God willing if Tony survives this day, then in the future we can see him and Belcheck going to save Jack. The dynamic between those two, given both of their relationships to Jack, is something I’d love to see play out.

February 6, 2017 at 12:58 pmHaving said that though, wherever Carter’s story is going I think I’m intrigued enough to stick around and find out.

February 6, 2017 at 5:54 amSo redundant with the CTU / White House stuff.
It’s so overplayed to the point of parody.
Boring.
The Eric Carter scenes were the only gripping parts. Should’ve just stuck with him through the entire runtime instead of following the most boring bull that is a copy of a copy of the tired 24 formula without the entertainment.

Not a bad start overall, I hope Andy is the mole

February 6, 2017 at 8:48 amIf we ever want to see a return of Jack and Chloe, this must be successful so everyone keep on watching.

February 6, 2017 at 10:00 amPace was far too fast. It was like watching a trailer! *2 lines of dialogue of characters explaining their own backstory to each other* *storyline races ahead*
I thought the writing was pretty weak, and the acting also pretty bad (which may be due to the material they were working with).
What has happened to Sean Callery’s score? It was some sub-par “The Dark Knight” rip off.
And why all the swooping crane shots? I liked the long takes, until they decided to swoop up into the air.

February 6, 2017 at 9:16 pmOn one hand, people want fast-paced action – kinda like Batman vs Superman
on the other hand, people also want a slow build-up unlike Batman vs Superman
For a pilot, and in this case, a pilot with a pre-conceived idea, I’m thinking the writers wanted to create something with the same look and feel of an average ’24’ episode to ensure it was compelling to the viewer – to ensure more episodes would be made and a season signed off!

February 6, 2017 at 2:57 pmOne thing I’m not sure about is whether Cory Hawkins has the ability to pull this off or not although, his is a very fine actor and I hope he can. To me, he doesn’t appear to have the look, presence, and voice to porrtay the intensity and indimidation this role requires. I was dissapointed at the very begining with his voice over of, “The following take place…”. It was weak and sounded like someone lacking confidence. I think Miranda Otto and Jimmy Smits’ characters will be very strong and well protrayed.
I find it interesting they made the new, “uneducated”, analyst Edgar Stiles’ cousin. This may be a mechanisim to link Chloe into this story. Since Chloe and Edgar were very close, Mariana may seek out Chloe’s help in running some sort of rouge, off book operation. Who knows.
The only thing I did not like was the obvious and purposeful effort to appease the politically correct crowd, like the comment Carter makes early on about protecting the 1%, and the casting casting of white males in only clueless, crazy, or bad guy roles. I always felt 24 was above that and, no I am NOT a white male.
Overall I liked this opening and think it be a very good program and has the potential to be a great show.

February 6, 2017 at 7:38 pmBut on the writing side, it delved into clichéd (not classic) 24 too much, too quickly.
Mole? Check. Thousands of lives at stake? Check. Islamic terrorists? Check.
The later promos revealed this much. But the original trailers set it up to be a close-nit, deeply personal revenge story, which would have been much, much better IMHO.
tl;dr —- They had a chance to reinvent 24 for a modern era. They didn’t. They just recycled it with a new cast.
