April 3, 2017 at 9:06 pmOnly one Tony scene…ugh. Are they going to make him bad again, or is Simms going to order Tony to clean up the perceived mess he sees with CTU handling things?

April 3, 2017 at 9:53 pm“Redemption” has been brought up by several people involved with this, so…unless it was one big ruse so that they could pull the boring old “Tony’s really bad” crap again, I’d say that they’re trying to mislead us with that preview.

April 3, 2017 at 9:09 pmCTU up and running five minutes after getting attacked.
Carter’s wife really is going bring up all that after the day that they have both had?
Jennifer Marshall terrible actor.
Way to wrap up the Henry and Luis storyline…I doubt Luis will ever be mentioned again.
Tony Almeida in for 30 seconds again.
Oh the big mole is revealed as the director of national security who we’ve seen for like three scenes all season. What an amazing twist!!! Big eye roll.
Just as you said, Victor Drazen rehash is so lazy by the writers.
Only cool part was the flames at the end for me other than that this episode dragged on with no real suspense or tension. I can’t remember a 24 season that had literally no momentum with two episodes left. Even the writers can’t seem to save the show with a great final push to the finish (see seasons 6? and 8).

April 3, 2017 at 11:57 pmA lot of great series got 10 episodes by season.
The first 12 episodes of 24 season 1 were just excellent. The same about season 3.
LAD got many amazing moments which cannot be found in Legacy.

April 4, 2017 at 1:05 am‘Legacy’ would be just as bad, whether they had 12 episodes or 120 episodes. Given the weak storylines, terrible casting and boring pace, we should all be thankful that there were only 12 episodes to endure.

April 3, 2017 at 10:05 pmThis episode had almost zero forward movement until the final five minutes which was odd for there being only two more episode left. Perhaps I feel this way because very few of these characters have been written well so I feel nothing towards them. We won’t even touch on how Tony has basically been used to try and attract old 24 fans and nothing else.

April 3, 2017 at 10:22 pmI can’t believe they write these fucking “twists” and expect the viewers at home to gasp.
That said, I did enjoy the episode, and cheered when Jadalla was shot in the bonce.

April 4, 2017 at 1:23 amWith ‘Legacy’, the lack of appealing characters and plot makes it much harder to suspend any disbelief of what the writers want viewers to accept.

April 4, 2017 at 12:06 amJadalla’s death was rather undramatic for a major villain, just being killed with a sniper shot to the head, not even as he’s about to kill Rebecca or something.

April 4, 2017 at 12:42 amAnd thank you, Sean Callery for reusing Omar Hassan’s theme from Day 8, which played as Hassan was brought to Samir and during Dalia’s announcement that she will be president of Kamistan. It played here during some of Rebecca’s scenes at the stadium. Loved it back then, love it now.
Now… Why the fuck were Jadalla and his father speaking English?
Why did they meet in the middle of a street under a bridge? It’s only like 9PM. It’s not like no other humans exist to witness this meeting of terrorist masterminds and they talked there for ages.
The stadium scene was some cool shit, though. Nicely done. Rebecca is pretty awesome actually.

April 4, 2017 at 1:15 amAll par for the course in what has been a smorgasbord of amateur writing mediocre acting and recycled filler to make up twelve hours of filming.
To think how FOX smeared the reputation of the franchise this time – and that Kiefer actually allowed his name to be used as producer credits – is dumbfounding…..

April 4, 2017 at 1:50 amI do wish Oded Fehr played a villain in the original 24 (such as Samir in S8). The guy who played Samir was boring af. Oded Fehr is too good for only 4-5 episodes.

They need to bring back that one guy who used to ride the train in Silver Spoons. Ricky Stratton I think his name was. It would improve the show and I would be happy.

April 4, 2017 at 2:36 pmBtw, does anyone think that they are going to clear everything up related with Tony’s background? It’s kind of confussing by the moment… because we only have two more episodes left and i have the impression there’s gotta be some questions unresolved….

April 4, 2017 at 3:09 pmAs for me, a fan of what I consider to be the best show ever, my only hope is that Jack, Tony & Chloe return for one final season, be it 12 or 24 episodes. However, I won’t be holding my breath.

April 4, 2017 at 5:05 pmBad Points:
– very frustrating to see such a major character in 24 history with a piddly-dink role.
– overheated pacing would loose some viewers if they are not paying close attention to the dialog and able to read between the lines.
– what is the purpose of Sidra?
Good Points:
– Adrenalin rush is building as it should be for 24
– Eric is at crossroad – does he or doesn’t he “need” to take a job at CTU once this is over.
– Nicole is at a crossroad – does she stay with Eric or go back with his brother.
– all of the characters are much better now that they are all under stressful situations
– Simms may not be the mole – we are left hanging.
I am willing to bet there will be strong DVD/Blu-Ray sales or binge streaming after they air the final episode. They need to wait longer than May 15ish to decide on a renewall. I think there is a better chance for renewal than what a lot of people on here think. If not FOX, then someone else will pick it up.

April 5, 2017 at 3:14 pm24 has been broadcasted on FOX from the beggining. When it ended in day 8, there were discussions about other companies buying it. It didn’t happen at the time when the show was much more strong, I don’t think will happen now.

April 4, 2017 at 5:23 pmUnused characters who could have a contreversal role in this series is the brother. His connection to the streets could’ve have shortened a lot of the riding around looking for the son of Khalid. Just a lot of fluff to make this show have the feel of a Jack Bauer episode. Jack was an experienced CUT agent and Carter is an experience soldier. Soldiers follow the laws of the land. They are totally fucking up the subjective and objective of patriotism. Maybe, they should have Maxine Waters as a writer. I’m not b.s. either.

April 4, 2017 at 5:26 pmTony pressing a few keys on a laptop for 3 min isn’t quite cutting it for me. Not that I was a huge Tony fan. But this isn’t the action packed Tony that we are used to. Very sad and I can see how Kiefer didn’t want to be a part of the show anymore, I can’t blame him. Like a Mad Magazine Comic puts it right.

April 4, 2017 at 6:01 pmThe stadium was reminiscent of the Season 2 finale (and LAD)
Villain’s father back from the dead like Drazen
Unsure about the writers’ strategy for Legacy. My guess is they wanted a greatest hits of all 24 themes compressed into one season? Not a very good strategy really. No character development whatsoever.
The follow-up to this iteration of 24 (whether it’s Season 2 or a Jack Bauer season) should involve some better writers with fresh ideas. I would seriously consider going back to 24 episodes too.
FelipeJack
April 5, 2017 at 1:45 amIf they’re not in the mood to put their heads together to come up with nice season, not sure how more episodes would help with that. Like somone said here: the first 13 episodes of season 1 were great.

April 5, 2017 at 1:38 amMy bigger complain is that Tony continues to do nothing. At least, the mentioned was with Rebecca about a year ago, after Tony get out of prision.
Sidra and Tony mentioned some covert operation with the Belgians. Is there any chance this is connected to take Jack out of prision at Russia?

April 5, 2017 at 3:10 pmWhile Tony is underused, he’s showing he still cares for Rebecca. That only makes sense if Tony is a redemption path. Tony was not caring when he vested Jack with explosives just to kill Alan Wilson. So far, it’s inconsistent. He cares for someone he know for just a year or so now, but wasn’t able to care for his previous best friend.
I thinking (hoping) this situation with covert op with Belgians that Sidra mentioned isn’t just a contextual dialogue. It has some meaning about what’s Tony doing and with luck is about Jack.

+ Stephen Hopkins makes this show a lot more visually interesting than the extreme closeup “floating heads” style of other “24” directors. The driving scene actually felt like a driving scene and not just two actors sitting in a stationary car with green screen backgrounds behind them. And CTU felt like an actual real place and not just the same two or three desks we always see. I liked the shots from upstairs (Mullins office) looking down. These are small things but make a difference.
+ Abandoned football stadium was a cool / visually interesting set piece. I liked the gasoline soaked field. It would’ve been nice to see more areas like this instead of drab warehouse after warehouse.
+ / – Jadalla is finally dead, but sheesh, that was a super weak, lazy, and impersonal death scene. You’d expect a henchmen to die that way, not the main villain. Even a tiny change like simply having Jadalla turning his head to witness Eric pulling the trigger that ended his life would’ve made this a bit cooler. Weak death for a weak villain.
The Bad
– Bin-Khalid Sr thing was awful. Lazy rehash, predictable, zero impact whatsoever. The reveal was so dumb. Just minutes after breaking out of a government building and through a police roadblock with tons of witnesses and every law enforcement agency chasing them, they decide to have a family reunion in the middle of a street… wtf?
– Tony wasted yet again with a pointless phone call scene that accomplished nothing. He got two whole minutes of screen time though, which is twice as much as last week.
– The entire sleeper cell plot line ended with a whimper. We only saw one of the 15 cells and the others are just going to be caught off-screen. Meh. They could’ve had a compelling season with this premise, but they failed to do anything interesting with it, and it ended up feeling unsatisfying.

April 5, 2017 at 4:26 pmNow how bad ass would it have been if the big reveal would of been none other than Nina Myers back from the dead instead of rubber hand Khalid?
That would of been some bad ass TV to have Tony hunt down Nina and chop her damm head off. It may be jumping the shark, but hey its still a hell of a lot more entertaining plot than what we have in the last 2 episodes. ISnt this whats its all about anyways? Entertainment.
