To every 24 fan

Looking forward to this. Hope it's as good as the original. The original had a great starting episode I will always remember.

Perfectly fine with all new people in a 24 reboot. Looked forward to it.

It was pretty sad. A few cool elements but not even half as cool as original. The high school part was far better than everything else. The show feels forced. Hard to believe it is still Surnow and Coto.

You're assuming people who watched it because of Kiefer Sutherland give two *beep* what you think Snowflake.

I get what you're saying, but it sounds like you're just rallying blind fanboyism.

A true "fan" isn't someone who loves absolutely everything with their beloved label on it (24, X-Men, Star Wars, Resident Evil games, etc...) a true fan is someone that despite their love for the franchise they can own up to when things have either declined or have seriously strayed from what made the franchise so great to begin with.

I'm not implying that the new 24 is a decline or has "strayed"...but I am implying that Jack/Keifer was *one* of the biggest reasons why 24 was as good as it was, so to not have him around definitely leaves a big hole that's tough to fill. If fans don't respond well to his absence after viewing the show then they should be allowed to voice their disappointment, not be told "Well then I guess you didn't really like 24 that much in the first place."

My personal example is Dragonball. The original and Z were great and formed the cooler tropes of what anime is known for today...BUT there are tons of bad DB games, an awful live-action movie, and of course: GT and Super. They all suck by comparison. They've disappointed and undelivered on the elements that made the show so lovable. Does that mean I was never a big Dragonball fan? No, it means I just don't like garbage.

"Osbourne Cox? I thought you might be worried...about the security...of your sh*t."

Most 24 fans are actually Jack Bauer fans.
