Gotta say, I enjoyed these first two episodes. Weird with no Jack but I like Corey Hawkins and the 24 formula is holding up well if that's your thing.

I'm watching the episode now. I'm not done yet. They're really doing a "What if everything Fox News said about Huma Abedin was true" plot?

Sorry for the double post, but here's the boring prequel that Samsung keeps pushing. Also, my temporary nicknames: "Dr. Dre" "Eowyn" "Jimmy Smits" "Huma Abedin" "IT Dork" "Edgar's Cousin" "Yet Another Dick Head of CTU" "Wife" "Gang boss guy" "Shade" "Pedo Walter White" "Teenager"

How could you not go with "Budget Ed Helms" instead of "IT Dork"?

Which was at least fascinatingly awful. This reminds me of the first half of season eight, where the whole production feels dull and diluted.

Was Kim supposed to still be a teenager when she got caught in a bear trap and a mountain lion showed up? All of 24's seasons are starting to just be a giant blur to me at this point.

Mostly from memory. But I had to check the wiki also: Season 2 is 18 months after Season 1. Season 3 is three years after season 2. 4 is 18 months after 3. 5 is 18 months after 4. 6 is like 20 months after 5. 7 is almost four years after 6. (there was a year gap IRL because of the writers strike anyway) 8 is like 18 months after 7. 9 was around four years after 8. Legacy is supposed to be three years after 9. But I think it makes more sense that Jimmy Smits is running for president in the first election after Day 9. For the sake of this timeline summary, I don't care too much for the PS2 game or the DVD prequels and whatnot. Echo Chamber fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Feb 8, 2017 |

24 The Game is legitimately a great time. A not-great game, but they really went the extra mile by bringing in the voice actors and one of the writers. It also literally has a button that makes your character yell at people.

Just watch episode 2 and I liked it better than the first. At least the end made me want to watch the next episode. Still it all seems fairly paint by numbers for 24 and the lead isn't really anything special. How is Designated Survivor doing? Maybe Kiefer will get sick of doing another not as good show and come back to 24 like he did after Touch. -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Feb 9, 2017 |

Fox doesn't seem to understand that 24 was a very mediocre show with the exception of Kiefer's Jack Bauer. That's it, that's all there ever was to the show from Episode 1 to the series finale. Unless you think you have another actor who can create an all-time classic iconic character, don't even bother.

This show has been pretty classic 24 so far but Jack was always the best part of the show and not having him hurts. I don't mind the new main character though. Designated Survivor is a mess of a show. There's a lot of dumb ideas on the show, and the characters, aside from Kiefer and Kumar are fairly unlikable.

I read the original Designated Survivor script before ABC swept it up. The wife was a fierce immigration lawyer; there was an entire subplot about amnesty and undocumented workers that got stripped away in favor of "nagging wife". It was a solid script. The show itself is not. But screw that, I want to hop on the nostalgia train for a second. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBijOe5lRfw&t=2s Marvel at that! Those graphics! Those pudgy pixels meant to simulate faces! The hilariously dinky gunplay!

Man, I forgot there were interrogation minigames, those were great. You actually got to be Jack Bauer and shout TELL ME WHERE THE BOMB IS WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME DAMMIT. It wasn't a great game but they did a good job at recreating what 24 felt like. Kim gets kidnapped, Jack goes rogue, CTU gets attacked. I don't remember if they had a mole or not though.

No mole, but you DID play as Chase. He's like twenty times more likable in the game than his actual season. And you do get an attack on CTU, which occupies the space next to "Mole" on the 24 Bingo Card.

I don't think anyone watched 24 for the exceptional writing. If you take a step back it was super hokey and not at all realistic. It was a fun escape show where you tuned in every week to watch Jack Bauer kill terrorists in creative ways.

If Jack Bauer ever would have given someone the Fameasser, the whole house would have come down.

Sometimes it's good to take a step back and recall all the absolutely insane, crazy stuff that has happened in the world 24 takes place in. Air Force One shot down, mad presidents assassinating former presidents, nukes and bio weapons in LA, Chinese and Russian embassy staff eradicated, drone strikes in London, former Chinese secret service bosses decapitated on camera... This new show has a hell of a legacy to live up to. I know it's early days but it's been rather pedestrian so far and I expect nothing less than top class lunacy, stat. Tazing that guy in the neck was awesome, though.

If 24 happened in real time at the end of the 4 season (if it would take that long) the US would be a police state because holy gently caress did a lot of baaad poo poo happen.
