March 7, 2017 at 9:55 amPeople were even calling 24: LAD and The X-Files Season 10 “reboots”. Did the definition of “reboot” change for the 100,000th time while I wasn’t looking or something?

March 6, 2017 at 9:14 pmNow I’m starting to think Henry Donovan definitely has a past with Tony, like bringing Tony in for the interrogation will have some special effect on him. Maybe Henry IS part of Alan Wilson’s group and Tony knows about him.
The scene on the bridge was very suspenseful. I thought the initial plan was to attack the school, wonder how that was changed. I really thought the cop had stopped the attack but then Amira wasn’t quite dead yet.

March 6, 2017 at 9:31 pmNow we know how the Issac and Nicole sub-plot is tied into the main plot.
And according to the Promo for episode 7:
1. It looks like Andy will serve a similar role to Morris in season 6 when they forced him to activate the nuke, and
2. it is confirmed they are using Tony to interrogate Henry.
Can hardly wait for them to fill us in on the background of Tony post 24 Solitary.
Tension building in this episode is comparable to classic 24. It is definitely getting better, just hope enough people watch.

March 6, 2017 at 11:22 pmI still think Tony is beyond redemption though after murdering Larry Moss in Season 7 and blowing up all those FBI agents in the building.

March 7, 2017 at 8:11 amAlso interesting how the guy who plays Khasan also plays one of the Tsarnaev brothers in “Patriots Day”, and the guy who plays Jadalla’s computer expert plays one of the lead baddies in “Six”. That is another show that started out kinda slow but turned out to be quite thrilling.

March 7, 2017 at 2:43 amHonestly, it would be a big shame if this doesn’t get renewed. If this season was terrible or even mediocre then I can understand the relatively poor ratings but it really isn’t. IMO, it’s better than some of the previous seasons and is on par with the better ones.
I hope the ratings will rise after this episode and with Tony’s imminent return. Hopefully those who didn’t give this a chance for whatever reasons will finally tune in.

March 7, 2017 at 2:47 amThe Chechen Republic and The Czech Republic are not the same.
Btw the first text means “Heavy traffic at 7 am” and the second one is a joke: “If you can read this, you’re too close”.
Asian Rebel
March 7, 2017 at 8:49 pmOr maybe someone on the crew wanted to google some Chechen language and confused it with Czech instead, that’s also quite popular.

March 7, 2017 at 6:21 am– 14 cells left similar to the remaining vials of nerve gas they tracked down eventually by the end of S3
– Tony returning is similar to Nina returning in S2 to gain more intel
– the double-cross from Amira which mirrors most other seasons
– Carter now playing the role of Tony from Season 3 when Saunders took Michelle
I see what you did there David Fury
Bring on the next arc!
and here’s hoping 24 Legacy moves to Netflix along with the rest of 24 so we can binge what this shit forever

March 7, 2017 at 9:59 amIn any case, I’ll be onboard next week for Tony’s return but, so far, this is the worst season of 24 I’ve ever seen.
If you ask me, a lot of the comments here sound like people who were just so thirsty for this show to start resembling 24 of old in ANY sense that they’re on a nostalgic high.

March 7, 2017 at 2:17 pmThis is more of the same for me. Some of the dialogue is painfully clichéd!
PS how did the Dudayevs drive from Amira’s high school in Virginia, to New York in like half an hour?
Asian Rebel
March 7, 2017 at 8:44 pmI wonder if they really filmed that portion on the actual George Washington Bridge cause it looked real vs some stand-in location. They really should have set part of it in Atlanta instead since the show was mostly filmed there.
The cop shouting “No” was a lot like the scene in Season 6 right before the nuke goes off. I also felt he was a little bit comical, but I was able to take him more seriously than Kal Penn in Season 6. (I don’t think you can play a convincing terrorist after playing Kumar).

March 8, 2017 at 3:01 amAnd they filmed the bridge bits on green screen outside their studio, with some footage of the real bridge thrown in. Check out http://24.wikia.com/wiki/Legacy_filming_locations#5:00pm-6:00pm

March 7, 2017 at 6:23 pmI really like the initial hook with the ranger squad and Carter and Grimes’ characters – you can definitely tell that that was the germ of the original idea they reworked to be a 24 season. I think Carter’s backstory is interesting and Hawkins is engaging in the role whenever he gets enough screentime. But aside from that practically everything else is just the same old devices and cliches we’ve seen for ten seasons. I just can’t believe that, given three years and a completely blank slate to come up with a 24 without Jack Bauer that THIS is what they came up with? It’s hard to write off because most of the characters and individual scenes are good but, really, there’s no excuse for how lazy it all feels. I laughed when I read Dan Bucatinsky’s recap in EW this week and he was confused as to why the terrorists had forged passports that all happened to use the real address of their secret base. Yeah, I’d like to know as well!

March 8, 2017 at 1:45 pmIt has the worst storyline (full of contrivances, poor acting, plot holes and bad charaterizations – what the fuck was up with Amira, does she have a split personality, why at first does she act like a terrorist-no-regrets, then like a stupid slut, then like a cowardly kitten, then like a maniac, then like a terminator?) end in a simply stupid twists in the show.
Well, at least Amira’s idiotic journey ended. With a low-quality bang.
It feels almost like a bad parody with all those amateurish green screen effects (just look at the guy in the booth!), ultra-shacky cam and cheap effects. It’s funny how Season 2’s action scenes look better than this shlockfest – and they were shot 15 years ago, by the same director, which is funny.
And here I am, reading comments and I just don’t get the praise. At all. How is any of this “great”?
Actors have no chemistry. Effects are bad. Story is not only predictable, but poorly written by the guys who made later (and shockingly bad) seasons of “Dexter” – and it shows.
But – “great, best”, etc.
It doesn’t even compare to the best episodes of first 5 seasons.
Hell, it’s worse than any episode of Season 6, since they at least felt like people tried to make them work. Here it’s just lazy and sad.
And I am a fan of the show, not just some guy who likes to hate things. It was one of the best TV Shows I’ve seen – no bad seasons, only average at worst. Actors, writers, directors – all did their best to make premise work. And it worked like a clock. Even Season 6, yeah.
But here comes Legacy – and all it does it piss on 24’s long and respected legacy. How ironic. The only halfway decent thing about this shitshow is Eric Carter. He would be a good partner to Jack.
Alas.
JD
March 9, 2017 at 9:02 amYeah, what was up with Amira? There was no cohesive character structure to her. Nothing.
This show DOES look amateur, yes. And you’re right: Season 2 looked FAR more professional and cinematic than anything in this turd season.
I can’t believe THIS is what people were gushing over. People are far too easily won over these days. My theory is that people were just so hungry for something exciting to happen this season that they clung to this like a starving person eating McDonalds and thinking “it’s the best food ever” simply because they were so hungry. For me, it was boring and slogging along. I regret deciding to watch those first six episodes on the FOX website. I barely made it through. I care NOTHING about ANY of these characters. Even Tony’s return can only accomplish so much.
JD
March 9, 2017 at 8:54 amI’m not liking any of these characters.
Asian Rebel
March 10, 2017 at 6:44 pmI have to say “Ahhhhhhkmed” Amar from Season 6 was the worst teenage terrorist. Kal Penn was NOT convincingly as a dangerous terrorist and I laughed at most of his scenes. Its hard to take him seriously after seeing him in Van Wilder and Harold and Kumar.
