However...

Spoiler: show

Carlos Bernard WILL return as Tony Almeida.

[Vaspinne]

No Bauer, no care.

[Alistaire]

Thought from the title the actual Dr. Dre was gonna do this. (and as much as that'd be a wtf moment that'd make this more interesting to watch)

[TummieGaruda]

I'll watch it. Maybe after Bauer is done being the president over on ABC they will ship him off to Russia so that Dre can rescue him next season.

[Zetanio]

Fuck this.

[Anoat]

Edgar Stiles' cousin, lol gtfo

[Zetanio]

really? That's the hook? hahahahaha

[TummieGaruda]

At least this time they are dealing with a possible mole right out of the gate instead of having to deal with it halfway thru the season.

[Anoat]

Death by construction site was pretty lulz worthy, I think this is gonna be fine as long as you don't take it too seriously.

[TummieGaruda]

Honestly, I am digging Black Bauer....

[Anoat]

I think that might be the first simulated underage blowjob I've ever seen on network TV. That was unexpected.

The jailbait is strong with this show wew

I looked her up and she is 25 IRL so no need to feel weird. Also she has a twin sister apparently so maybe it's okay to feel weird again.

Fox says 24: Legacy is cancelled/not really cancelled. They are "open" to doing more and were very happy with new star Corey Hawkins, but he is currently starring in a Broadway plan for the foreseeable future and is unavailable for future seasons.

Sounds like a terrible oversight on Fox/casting to bring on this new lead when he can't even commit to more than a single season to their revival of one of their most popular series. Not surprising, but still...lol

[6souls]

I'm still waiting for Dr Dre to appear.
