Huh...I could've sworn there was a Tom Clancy novel with the same premise

IIRC Jack Ryan was the vice president when the president died in a terrorist attack. I liked that book.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Since Jack Bauer is Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, isn't he 12th in line of succession.

WHERE IS THE BOMB?!! WHERE IS IT??!!

Aww shiet, so this is what Kiefer was up to while being Executive Producer of 24:Legacy.

Good to see Kal Penn again, the last time I saw him and Kiefer together was in 24

Spoiler

Day 6, THE WORST season EVER.

It doesn't seem to matter here, the Designated Survivor tends to shift from a candidate to another. If you look at the State of the Union, they seem to pick different person who won't attend each time. it's never the same person or atleast they rotate the rooster.

 

[Maddocks]

My God, that's Jack Bauer!

All in for Big Boss himself.

 

[strafer]

when the times comes...*tssk*...I'll pull the trigger.

 

[Alienous]

The good news? You're in the land of the living. The bad news? The world wants you dead ... Mr. President.

 

[Octavianus]

Jack is moving up in the world.

 

[jason10mm]

Should have called this "The Trump Contingency"

The designated survivor is provided presidential-level security and transport for the duration of the event. An aide carries a nuclear football with them.

Bauer going nuclear

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

That's really scary. A Nuke Suitcase in the hands of someone completely unqualified if things go south.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Just saw this trailer and it looks awesome.

 

[AuthenticM]

Just saw the trailer. Six more days until Jack Bauer aka Big Boss is President.

Who's making the OT?

 

[Firebrand]

Kal Penn on your staff? Dammit president Bauer, don't your recognize this terrorist from before?!

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Just watched A Time to Kill. It's weird how Kiefer and his dad are both in it without ever interacting.

I really want this show to be compelling.

 

[ZealousD]

That's really scary. A Nuke Suitcase in the hands of someone completely unqualified if things go south.

The designated survivor is usually a cabinet secretary or member of Congress.

Which means this person would still be way more qualified than Donald Trump.

Also, there really is no better alternative here.

 

[Hazmat]

I have no idea how this is a series. A miniseries could be great, but in season two he's dealing with the budget and re-election and the premise is trashed.

I think you can get way more than one season out of a premise that has the Capitol building getting blown the fuck up. You honestly dont think that they can escalate it from there?

I'm praying that this show goes full 24 with its conspiracies and shadowy bad guys. It needs to be super pulpy like 24.

 

[Gnome Scat]

So this is how it happened.

 

[dLMN8R]

Aw yea

Who's ready to watch Kiefer yell "DAMMIT" on primetime TV??

 

[Dr Campino]

So is this the OT? Been waiting to see if one popped up.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

What are the reviews like for this show?

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Is anyone gonna watch

Starts in 20 mins

 

[Line_HTX]

Is there going to be an OT on this show?

 

[Jarmel]

Is there going to be an OT on this show?

I'll only do it if nobody else does.

Which means I really don't want to.

Spoiler

but I'll do it if absolutely necessary

 

[Corpsepyre]

What are the reviews like for this show?

72 on Metacritic currently with 30+ reviews.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

If this episode is good maybe I'll make the ot..maybe

 

[J_Viper]

Is this Chapter 3?

 

[Line_HTX]

I'll only do it if nobody else does.

It's an episode of 24. You have 12 minutes, Jarmel.

Beep. beep. Beep. beep.

 

[StopMakingSense]

IIRC Jack Ryan was the vice president when the president died in a terrorist attack. I liked that book.

No even crazier. A suicidal Japanese airline pilot flew his 747 into the Capitol building during a presidential address to a joint session of congress. I think Ryan was NSA Director at that point.

Debt of Honor was a seriously stupid book.

 

[Dany]

Is this Chapter 3?

channel 4

 

[Jarmel]

It's an episode of 24. You have 12 minutes, Jarmel.

I run off Valve time.

I want to see if the show is any good first.

 

[DangerMouse]

Just saw the trailer. Six more days until Jack Bauer aka Big Boss is President.

Who's making the OT?

Yeah, I've been waiting for this to start, hope it ends up good.

 

[Danthrax]

this is already off to a bad start

 

[Officerrob]

Getting right to it

Edit: Or not, lol

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Uggggh I don't want to go 15 hours earlier

 

[Danthrax]

Uggggh I don't want to go 15 hours earlier

[Chase17]

A family man

 

[DangerMouse]

LOL, ofcourse they're going back first

Digged that title music fade to the title art

[Line_HTX]

EWWW, fucking making Shitstep tracks.

 

[peteykirch]

That is a giant briefcase or a small suitcase.

 

[Chase17]

that briefcase is huge

 

[ItIsOkBro]

[Line_HTX]

Hey, it's Kal Penn from 24, Day 6.

 

[Danthrax]

EWWW, fucking making Shitstep tracks.

The kid's probably a an Anonymous hacker or something. "Writing a dubstep program" is just a cover, I'm sure.
