FOX rebooting 24 ... Without Jack Bauer

terrible news.

that latest 12-episode mini-24 was almost unbearable to watch, and I was super-excited when they showed the first promo.

I think the format already feels way too dated. ....even though the cliffhanger format was a very old and dead trope originally resurrected by 24.
 
Eh, I'll probably check out the first few episodes at least, cause I fucking love Jack Bauer and 24. Though the last few seasons or so I didn't care for as much I guess.

I never cared for the show as I hate the actor that played him but still wont watch it as the entire premise was meh.
 
Jack Bauer's story is kinda played out. If they really had balls, they'd start with a new cast and have Jack Bauer as the real villain in the last 1/3. None of that double agent crap, but a straight up bad guy.

I think NO Chloe is a good thing.

Chloe was a muppet character for Bauer. No charisma = no care.

The Bauer character has been played out enough already.

I'm all for having a new cast.

New characters leaves a crapload more background stories to be opened up.
 
Kiefer was one of the things I disliked about the show, but liked the show overall. I'll definitely at least watch the first few episodes.

Is he fucking tired of them always believing he is the bad guy so he finally decides to give them what they want?

I figured it would be like a patriotic thing, like those militia nuts. He wants to save America by killing all the people that are corrupting it. And maybe killing civilians to wake people up or some shit. No guy that has been through all the stuff he has would be sane.
 
They say nothing on tv or in theaters is original anymore... and when they put out something original like 24, they still have to copy it to make money...

I'm no pessimist but this does have fail written all over it. How can anyone not compare it to badass Jack? And his hot daughter?
 
This is great news. Glad to hear that there'll be more to come, even if no Jack Bauer. Hopefully they do a full 24 hours this time around. 24 was wicked good.
