February 27, 2017 at 9:09 pmWhen Eric’s wife was convinced to stay with Isaac I was like no, just walk of there! Kind of like how when Jack always gets dragged back into things instead of walk away. I wonder how that will link into the main plot.
Still waiting to see some enhanced interrogations here!
I still don’t like Nila’s character, she was just very bitchy to me.

February 27, 2017 at 9:13 pmIMO, the scene when Eric and Ben met Gabriel ranks up there with the best of any of the 24 field operations. When Gabriel “tested” Eric to see if he means business, I thought of the Season 3 scene when Jack was told to shoot Chase or the scene from season 4 when Marwan “tested” Dina in the same way. But this time the result was a complete surprise. Well done writers!

February 27, 2017 at 9:41 pmThe whole thing was a lot like Live Another Day though.

February 27, 2017 at 10:56 pmThis was the first time I found Amira’s storyline tolerable – the brother/father aspect was a lot more interesting than the lame ex-boyfriend that refused to stay dead storyline. The Isaac and Nicole stuff was slightly better too, although that plot still feels too isolated from everything else.
It was kind of sad that Gabriel immediately had more screen presence and felt more intimidating than the main villain of the season. It took almost half the season, but at least Jadalla finally had a cool moment near the end of this episode.
Things got a lot more interesting by the end of this episode. I think the second half will be pretty fun.

February 27, 2017 at 11:08 pmAm I the only one mourning Ben? Excellent actor. I know Ben acted stupid but I liked him somehow.. Something about his troubled friendship with Eric appealed to me.

February 28, 2017 at 8:56 amDo I know what the solution is? No, not really, there still needs to be a lead. And I will continue to watch especially with Tony coming soon, but I think if this season so far has taught us anything it’s that Jack Bauer (Kiefer) meant a lot more to 24 than both he and the producers realized.

February 28, 2017 at 2:24 pm* Gabriel storyline was just Karl Rask all over again
* Amira storyline is just Simone al-Harazi over again
* Isaac surviving an attempt on his life and starting a disproportionate witch hunt is what Omar Hassan did in Season 8
Also, why exactly did Carter steal the Onyx weapon plans? In order to be let through to the back room of the warehouse? After which he just got CTU to raid the place anyway?

March 1, 2017 at 7:47 amWhat an awful–AWFUL idea this was! It’s every bit as bad as its very CONCEPT sounded when they first revealed news about this turkey. I’ll watch full time once Tony returns but I already know that I’m going to have a tough time getting through this even WITH Tony because the acting/dialogue is beyond terrible. It actually looks like some sort of cheap economy imitation of 24. No suspense. No interesting characters. Nothing.
Seriously, they need to craft a final season that closes Jack Bauer’s character and ends 24 for good because this is terrible.

March 2, 2017 at 10:09 amThese creators truly underestimated their fanbase when they pulled this crap and thought it was going to work.
The fact that Tony isn’t being dragged into this until Episode 7 tells me that they decided somewhere during production that this wasn’t going to work out and made Tony a late addition. And to think–if people didn’t complain about the Legacy news in the first place, they would have left Tony out altogether! It took fans speaking up and complaining to get them to complete the story arc of Tony. WHY should fans have to wring the arms of these creators just to get them to RESPECT their fans and respect their material?

March 6, 2017 at 1:21 amHope to see some Jack Bauer style interrogations. Though to be honest I think the last successful torture was probably Season 6. I think the show gave in to liberal pressure and stopped featuring that and in Season 8 Jack wasn’t able to successfully torture Pavel Tokarev for info. I don’t recall Jack torturing anyone in Live Another Day either though I guess he kept Simone in pain for a bit.
I still love the parts in Season 4 where he breaks Joe Prado’s fingers one by one (a very badass scene) and also when he shoots Sherek in the leg and discovers Heller is being targeted. I hope in real life President Trump does go after the families of terrorists if it must come to that.
