 Premiering right now (in the East) on TNT is Legends, a new action series from the producers of 24 and Homeland. It's set for 10 episodes, beginning tonight, and was promoted on Twitter with the hilariously appropriate hashtag #DontKillSeanBean. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2402137/ Sean Bean (Goldeneye, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Ronin) plays Martin Odum, an undercover FBI agent who assumes a new identity for each case, and progressively begins to question his sanity. Ali Larter and Tina Majorino are co-stars. Sean Bean rules, it'll be fun seeing him as a good guy, and I hope this is as fun as Southland was.

Yeah, I was happy with the pilot. I don't quite know where they're going with the black guy telling him he's not who he thinks he is, but it should be a good series. We all knew Ali Larter was hot, but Tina Majorino's looking good herself.

The lap dance scene is underrated. I got a laugh out of "Crystal is a cool stripper name" and the "surveillance camera" bit.

Episode 2, let's go. Is the driver of the car Johnny Crowder? e- Yes. Also, Tina Majorino is less attractive rocking the Bieber look this week. e- You Russians. The way you play Roulette. It's over too soon...and you only get to play once... CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Aug 21, 2014 |

I couldn't tell if the Russian Johnny Crowder thing was going to turn into a subplot or what. Then they sort of...previewed next week's character by introducing him at the end of the episode and then ended it?

muscles like this? posted:I have to wonder if they'll walk any of that back because torturer/murderer is a little far for a protagonist. Did Martin hit him with the nerve agent or did the guy stroke out on his own? e- Was the tan-skinned woman who was just face-to-face with the black agent who's been investigating Martin also on Southland? e2- Ok, so Yuri thinks he's in deep poo poo with pissed off, scorned arms dealer Dante/Martin. This will be fun.

Dante is the best kind of bad motherfucker, first beating the piss out of and then stabbing in the hand a Russian mobster.

I don't know if I'm reading too much into this, but the last time I saw one of these surveys promoted on Facebook by the show's page, it was when Southland was teetering on the edge of cancellation: http://spr.ly/6181WFzZ

Her hair has been irrationally pissing me off, but the "it's an ingredient in hairspray"/(look at Maggie because she should know) gag was funny.

johntfs posted:There are reasons that Sean Bean tends to die in movies. His characters are tough and bad-rear end, but not necessarily the sharpest arrows in the quiver. This is true even when he survives, such as in Ronin. Which, if you ever listen to the DVD commentary for Ronin, you'll find out that he WAS supposed to die after he's revealed to be a phony, albeit through suicide. As the van pulls away to take the crew to Nice, there was a gunshot which was removed from the final movie.

This show feels like Assassin's Creed when we have these "Hey, you're out of the parallel universe, welcome back!" moments. I feel like this thread needs to be retitled "How Big Will Tina Majorino's Hair Be This Week?"

His feels like a B-storyline which is being shoehorned into the show to add suspense and give this thing a Bourne-esque vibe. e- "They called me (begin Sean Bean Texan accent) An East Texas Contraband-o" CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Sep 11, 2014 |

Last week's Justified "Bulletville"-style finish was cool, but this show isn't perfect as wormil mentioned. And why the hell wouldn't that kid run a) back to his bike or b) at least in the direction of our bad guy of the week? muscles like this? posted:Just waiting for Martin's boss to be in on it too. That didn't take long. I just hope they don't further turn this into The Bourne Series.

They're working on Maggie being the naive nerd ("She's just planning a protest!") versus Crystal (still) being the intelligent, determined, sexy FBI operative ("...let's do some more digging.") this week.

This show's losing me. Now Crystal is sympathetic toward the feminist? e- Bean is selling the poo poo out of the tinfoil hat-wearing journalist, though. Somebody remind me: is Crystal in on the ambiguity to Martin's true life story? CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Oct 2, 2014 |

Two-hour season finale's tonight. Probably in time because I've found myself in my "The Bridge" mindset of "I don't know if I'm watching this again if there's a next season". e- It's the last two episodes back to back. Is TNT just saying "Let's just get this out of the way"? CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Oct 9, 2014 |

I like the Legends much more than this Bourne-ripoff subplot. If we could get more of Sean Bean assuming identities and going merciless on the bad guys. I'd like it more. Maybe this will be an entertaining finish now that the secret's out.

So he was part of the plan to steal the money, then felt bad, called in danger close fire, and survived because he got blown into the grave dug for him? e- muscles like this? posted:Who wants to bet that "John Cameron" is Sean Bean? Oh Jesus Christ.  Oh for gently caress's sake, and you put your prints on the gun. My question is does the FBI believe that John Cameron really hacked into some super-secure FBI computer system to play "his recorded message"? At least this show has the patronizing politician down pat. CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Oct 9, 2014 |

Ok, so Spiller wanted a promotion, teamed up with Varex to kill the current Director to give him the job and put Cameron away at the same time by framing him. And the dickhead senator is probably in on it and benefitting somehow.

I'd keep an eye out for an official post-season survey from TNT. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the first time I saw one of those was when Southland was inches from being pushed off the cliff after Season 5. The show feels a bit more "fanciful" (for lack of a better term) than some of the other similar shows I've watched (Justified, Southland, The Americans, The Bridge, Fargo), but I'd give it a second look to see how Martin/Cameron story plays out. His road to redemption and how the writers put that together could make for a fun second season, and I think that's what they were leading to in the event there is a second season. The show doesn't draw me in week to week in the "appointment viewing" category like Justified or Southland, which I dreaded the end of the seasons for (though Justified S5 was downright bad at times), but it's not bad if you can look past some of the ridiculousness.
