April 9, 2017 at 6:44 amRepeatedly I have seen Kiefer Sutherland on TV pitching this series as “really cool”.
If they continue down this road with this spin-off, they should bring back Chloe O’Brian and a handful of the other characters we liked from the original show. They should kill off Jack and make the season about trying to solve that mystery.
Or another direction would be to give us a day 0 (or a season between seasons 1-4) with Nina, George Mason, and Darlene from Roseanne. You will have to bleach Jack’s hair and put anti-aging makeup on the cast. Have fun with it; but this 24 Legacy isn’t fun. I don’t like it.

April 9, 2017 at 2:28 pmI remember going into season 8 thinking it sounded like one rehash too far, Muslims with nukes? Jack back because of attacks? Chloe just happening to be in the same fucking city again? “Fuck that!” I thought, and never bothered watching it live. Instead I waited until it was finished, and watched it all spoiler free. Indeed it WAS a rehash… but it was a really fucking good one, and there was enough new territory explored, so I really enjoyed it and rank it very highly.
But I agree with Jay in the sense that after season 6 episode 4, 24 was fated to never be the best show on television again like it once was.

April 9, 2017 at 9:25 pmAnd, then, once Hassan is assassinated the terrorist threat dissappears *entirely*. Episodes 17-24 have no imminet terrorist threat whatsoever – no race against the clock to stop a bomb, prevent the dispersal of a biological weapon, or thwart an assassination. It was *groundbreaking* for the series. Jack’s heroic status is destroyed and Taylor is corrupted in one of the most powerful stories of the series – a story that echoes the warning Jack gave Nina in the *very first episode of the series*.
Season 8 is the only other season besides the first where the threats are almost entirely levied against individuals. These subversions, coupled with the more cinematic direction (thanks to the absence of Jon Cassar) and incredible thematic content, create a masterpiece of a season that virtually *no one understands*. It baffles me.
Season 8 is the closest the show ever came to reaching the insurmountable heights of season one – the most bold and the most daring they’ve been since deciding to do a real-time television show.

April 9, 2017 at 2:30 pmI like that you left Chloe O’Bollocks out of those names.

April 9, 2017 at 4:56 pmKudos to the XAM comment about Chloe–I find her overrated and hate that people rank her above legends like Tony, Palmer, etc.

April 9, 2017 at 3:24 pmHowever, I think 24 needs a sort of slightly comedic/awkward or sarcastic character in it somewhere (because otherwise it would just be too bleak, I guess?) and since George Mason was no longer there and most people took a liking to Chloe, they just never bothered coming up with new ones. Also, I believe the writers just felt more comfortable having Chloe around to hack everything. I like Chloe, but I agree that they’d be forced to be more creative without the Chloes and Andys of this universe.
That’s why Redemption and Day 7 felt fresh to me, among other things. Because Jack didn’t have Chloe to rely on through most of it. Except for Tony’s escape from the FBI.

April 10, 2017 at 2:37 pmLMAO! Absolutely, it’s cringeworthy when a 14yo girl does it, never mind a grown woman.
That’s the MO though when you’re dealing with a shite actress; resort to a drastic wardrobe change to demonstrate a massive evolution in your character, when you don’t have the acting talent to do so.

April 10, 2017 at 2:20 amIf so, take it every single one (except the finale, cause of the time jump) will feature it. That’s 11 instances. The same number of times Kiefer has said the line during his stint (1st 3 of Day 1, 1st of Days 2/3/7/8/LAD, last 2 of 8, & Redemption).

April 10, 2017 at 7:04 pmCarter will attempt to take Naseri’s daughter out of the safehouse. Tony will be hired by Simms to prevent this without knowing the details behind it. They’ll “collide” in the final few minutes of the episode, and when they do, Carter will explain that he’s doing this to save Rebecca Ingram. Once Tony learns this he’ll offer to help due to his past with Rebecca and they’ll team up together.
Then in the finale they’ll exchange Naseri’s daughter for Rebecca. Eric will handle the hostage exchange while Tony provides hidden backup via a sniper rifle or something. It won’t go smoothly and Tony will maybe get to kill some random unnamed henchmen while Eric/Rebecca takes out the important bad guys.
