Episode 2 was really good!


I'm so in right now! Episode 2 was classic 24! They really should have had a 2 episode premiere, because while the Pilot did a good job introducing the story, Episode 2 is really what sealed the deal for me.

I feel like all the characters got a little more fleshed out, and in turn I cared about them more. Eric Carter is cool! So far, a worthy replacement for Jack.

I love the twist of having the campaign manager actually be a terrorist. That's gonna make some good TV!

Now that Mullins is cleared, hopefully he can bring Carter into CTU on... a provisional basis!

WHAT?

I was hoping this to be a troll post, or one of those bot/fake accounts paid for by the movie industry, but looking at your history it doesn't seem so. Unless you sold out.



I have nothing against the new cast, and the new Bauer did a great job as Dre in NWA, an amazing job actually, he has a great future, but the material laid forth in the newest installment of 24 is absolutely beyond atrocious, bordering on the verge of complete idiocy.

No surprise with the show runners.

Manny Coto, the failure of the Star Trek movie, the failure and idiotic season 5 of Dexter (ok it wasn't all bad, but honestly this was a terrible way to write a story for the final parts of Dexter)

Other Manny projects:

Jack in the Box (1989, short)
Playroom (1990)
Cover Up (1991)
Dr. Giggles (1992)
Star Kid (1997)
The Other Me (2000)
Zenon: The Zequel (2001)
Monsters (1989, 1 episode: Love Hurts)
Tales from the Crypt (1991, 1 episode: Mournin' Mess)

He's also to blame for how bad 24: Live Another Day turned out versus the earlier installments from the courageous and amazing Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran.


Then we have Evan Katz the exec producer turned show runner, he never played a vital part in anything with 24, and his only contribution is dumbing down the show in latter seasons. He is among other things to blame for Tony's terrible story.

Evan Katz has been behind terrible and huge flops such as Special Unit 2, a beyond reprehensible "scifi comedy" - it aired for 2 seasons on a no-name network before getting *beep*

It's sad that this guy has "won" a primetime emmy for running 24, when all he ever did was sabotage the series.
