Does every fucking press release need to read like the Mustard Mussolini wrote it nowadays?
+waves hands around like playing a tiny accordion+
WE HAVE some of the best writing, many words they didn't think were possible, but SOMETHING has been written. They are great words, REALLY STRONG words! Men came up to me, grown men, some of them generals, tears in their eyes saying... "Sir! We really didn't think someone would have these words! It's amazing!"
I feel like it would be a weird time to have a hero federal agent "breaking all the rules" to take down the bad guys for the American government.
What if it's the bad guys in the government?
It's been a few years since I've seen the show, but there is almost always a mole IN the government, so technically not much of a change.
They did that a few times already. I think at different points the villains have been the President, the VP, the First Lady, the CIA director, and the secretary of state maybe? But they're always portrayed as secret traitors, and exposing their crimes is a massive scandal.
If I remember correctly, most of the Presidents on that show were either corrupt, stupid, or insane. Perfect time for a new season.
But Keifer is too old. Give it Elisha Cuthbert
After David Palmer, sure. He was okay. I think Bauer suspected him once when he was a Senator or whatever he was in the first season, but beyond that they trusted one another.
I feel like if I rewatched it, I would be dismayed at the politics. But when it was new, it was pretty cool. At least until Jack murdered a colleague to appease a terrorist’s demands… that’s when I fell off.
And thus my suspicion that I didn’t realize how toxic the whole show was. The years after 2001 were weird.
The title reads like they've only written two words lol
Will the mountain lion return for the reboot?
Didn't the last couple seasons of 24 (to include spinoffs) suck, though?
And wasn't Homeland supposed to be "the new 24"? I couldn't get into it. Then Strike Back came out and I felt like the market got oversaturated for this kind of thing.
Give me a good mystery. I'm rewatching The Leftovers with my wife, and we're waiting for FROM, Severance, and Silo to come back. (I know what happens in Silo, I read the books, but they're changing a lot on the show.) I don't necessarily need it to feel like LOST (like The Leftovers and FROM), but that's a good formula (see also, Wayward Pines, but stop after the first season, we don't talk about the second season). In that vein there's also The Promised Neverland (again, we don't talk about its second season) but that's getting into anime and that's cheating, way too many good options there.
