But has every single season of 24 involved a mole in CTU? I mean at some point wouldn't you think they'd improve their background screening process?

 

 

They have vetting but they need to make it more extreme.

Anyone still watching?

 

I am but eh. They are using the same ol' plot devices, super goofy storylines (Carter's wife is the new Kim, quarreling gay coworkers, evil dad, etc.) and Islamic terrorists yet again.

 

If this show takes place after all the Jack Bauer mayhem, consider all the nerve gas, atomic weapons detonated on American soil (at least two), and the numerous Presidents killed or arrested in Jack's time and you're going to have to do better than a truck bomb on a bridge by the hot little number in a van.

I feel pretty much the same way. I watch, but I don't particularly look forward to it. They've pretty much done everything already. The only thing that could save it in my mind is Jack Bauer.

I think the biggest misstep to the Legacy series is that they didn't create a unique universe for the show that referenced all the stuff that happened in the original series.

 

In a world where you had all that death and destruction and only one POTUS that served a full term, there's a lot of room for story.

 

Shows that do create a unique "setting" (Person of Interest, The Man in the High Castle, Scandal, Designated Survivor, the Expanse, etc.) allows you to create fresh material.

Good call. :beer:

I've watched the first episode but none since, not because I'm not interested, but it's one of those shows I'd rather binge watch than have to wait a week for the next episode.

Caught up now. I'd like to see Isaacs crew join up with Tony's group.

 

If they kill Tony, I'll lose my mind.
