Are you trying to change what Trophy means?

I really liked the first episode and will continue to watch.

Jack Bauer deserved better than to be handed over to the Russians for decades of torture.

dubious · 09-22-2016, 08:01 PM

Does Jack Bauer get to kill anyone in this show?, cause that's really the only thing I got interest in is seeing his killing spree tally go up.

Well he's probably gonna give the order to kill someone these days instead of doing it himself.

Naiera · 09-22-2016, 10:31 PM

I vote to keep making more episodes of Jack Bauer as POTUS. They should just rename the show

whotony · 09-22-2016, 11:00 PM

We cant be sure that he isnt responsible for those who have died yet.

Of course he did it. Nobody fires Jack Bauer.

Jack Bauer fires you.

Great pilot. I'm looking forward to the series. I heard it did pretty well in the ratings too so that's good.

Jack Bauer: POTUS

They revived his wife, shrunk Kim and gave her a drug-dealing, bi-curious older brother.

Maybe Secretary Heller's bi-curious son morphed into the drug dealing douche!

Naiera · 09-23-2016, 02:46 AM

He was great with his little sister in that one scene though. Hopefully he doesn't cause too much shit, because his parents have enough shit on their plates from now on. But it's a drama series made for ABC, so that will never happen...

Arvin Clone · 09-23-2016, 06:46 AM

I really liked the show, but had one problem with it. Was the terror threat over when they moved into the White House? It looks like to me the new President and his family would stay in the Bunker until they were sure the threat was over. Wasn't the FBI still digging through the rubble at that time?

djgeneral · 09-23-2016, 06:55 PM

Not bad, love Kiefer and he was great. But just used to seeing him with a bit more action.

Fawkstraht · 09-24-2016, 10:08 PM

I loved it. I didn't expect any action. The character was very well done. He seems to really be written as the underdog and I'm hoping it's because he's going to turn into action president-man. It would be a shame to waste Kiefer's energy on a seemly meek character without any payoff.

R3P0 · 09-24-2016, 11:48 PM

Best part of the show was Kal Penn telling him to resign lol, Pilot did a great job of setting up 4 storylines moving forward that can all be very interesting.

djariya · 09-25-2016, 12:13 AM

Going to be hard not seeing Kiefer play a badass. Tom Kirkman definitely won't have the same intensity as Jack Bauer.

Promising start, although I laughed seeing the evil general wanting to start a coup against Kirkman after him being the President for what 30 minutes? LOL

I hope they go more into the conspiracy angle on who committed the bombing.

You would think so. You would also think if they let his wife in the secure location with him his kids would be too.

Strong start to probably my most anticipated show of the year (75% due to President Jack Bauer, 25% due to the premise).

I don't see how it will be made into a running series though. Seems like it would make for a much better one-and-done situation. We'll see though.

I did have to

when they immediately went to the White House and then also allowed him to step OUTSIDE ON HIS OWN....
