Looks promising. Lots of good actors and a premise with lots of potential.

in these shows it's the character that has very little screen time, or is a secondary character.

I saw that coming due to an appearance on Fallon because he said he had signed up for 2nd year.

I hate Carrie being a bipolar basket case. I like her being a bad ass. Saul is a bad ass too. Staring down the VP. Ballsy.

I was really, really, really disappointed with the final episode.

I'll keep watching because I tend to watch even when the shows get bad (when I start from the beginning)...but at this point I don't even care what happens.

The build up was great, but that was about all.

**Buck** · 12-20-2011, 11:23 PM

I thought it was good, not great.

I was really disappointed that we didn't really get any answers to some questions we had.

Mainly who is the mole?

The only thing of note that happened is that Walker was killed.

Short Leash Hootie · 12-20-2011, 11:24 PM

I'm not sure anyone was a mole...

Short Leash Hootie · 12-20-2011, 11:25 PM

I mean...it turns out they were all just covering for the VP because they knew they killed Issa...

Short Leash Hootie · 12-20-2011, 11:25 PM

so the "mole" was the cover up

There has to be.

Who slipped the dude the razor?
Who warned the professor dude to not stop at his house when the CIA was chasing him?

Short Leash Hootie · 12-20-2011, 11:26 PM

I guess, like 24, so many things were happening some of them will probably never make sense and some of them probably don't even have answers

Short Leash Hootie · 12-20-2011, 11:28 PM

go re-watch season 1 of 24 and tell me how Nina as the mole made any sense...I'm still pissed off about that to this day...there is no way the first 15 episodes of that season support the plot twist of Nina being a mole

**Buck** · 12-20-2011, 11:31 PM

That was the only season of 24 that I watched, I was I don't know maybe 14 or 15 years old. It's been a while, but I remember that that twist came out of nowhere.

WoodDraw · 12-21-2011, 01:32 AM

I thought it was very average, based on the great buildup. I kept waiting for something to happen and it just never came. The only real development was the killing of a character they never developed into anything.

And the 2nd season plot of getting close to the vp to influence him sounds boring as hell. I went from loving it to feeling very meh about the entire thing.

Fruit Ninja · 12-21-2011, 02:03 AM

For me, its like this. Is he really going to gain knowledge inside the government, or did he just say that, because it was either him or tom walker dying in that hallway. One of them HAD to go.

Short Leash Hootie · 12-21-2011, 07:51 AM

that is true...they never developed Tom Walker one bit...

like I said...I was pretty pissed about the finale...

I'd have been happier if Brody had offed himself and taken out the VP so Carrie could have been right and could have had the next season center around her redemption...or not had a next season...etc...

we'll see where it goes, but weak ending

As much as I loved 24, that plot twist with Nina did always piss me off. 24 was great, but it was always an inside mole that was the issue, and it got old.
