March 14, 2017 at 7:05 pm1. Season 3, Jack and Chase are captured by the Salazar’s. They givea gun to Jack and force him to prove his loyalty by shooting Chase. Jack points gun at Chase’s head and pulls the trigger – the gun is not loaded. Jack and Chase survive.
Season 4, Dina and Jack are captured. Marwan gives Dina a gun and forces her prove her loyalty by shooting Jack. Dina points the gun at Jack at first but quickly points the gun at Marwan and pulls the trigger. The gun is not loaded. Then Marwan has Dina killed.
In Legacy, Eric and Ben are captured by Gabriel. He gives Eric the gun and tells him to shoot Ben. Eric hesitates and refuses to kill his Ranger comrade. Gabriel complements Eric for his loyalty and then has Ben shot.
Same scenario as season 3 and 4, but a different resolution in a surprising way.
For heavens sake, if your show is an anti-terrorism show, there are only so many types of field operations or scenarios that you can use. A long running show will likely exhaust all those scenarios over time. Just because they are reused doesn’t bother me as long as they are resolved in new and different ways.

March 16, 2017 at 12:32 amYou could say the 1st three are more about Damian Lewis’s character and how Claire Danes handles it
The next 3 seasons focus more on conspiracies within the American government and how Clare Danes handles that along with a dose of Americans vs a Middle Eastern country terrorism stuff
Highly recommend

March 14, 2017 at 8:15 pmThe information that is presented in these previews completely inoculates the purpose the show. We learn:
#1 Isaac and Eric’s wife get back to CTU despite the threat in episode 7.
#2 Eric regains control of the situation at the terrorist camp.
#3 Ingram is found out by her husband.

March 15, 2017 at 1:37 amSome people say that the toughest choice was choosing between Jack going to personally save Audrey from Cheng’s men vs going after Cheng, though he did send Kate to rescue Audrey. I don’t know if it would have made a difference if Jack went himself.

March 15, 2017 at 12:47 pmAlso from the ep 9 press release Oded Fehr is joining the cast. Possibly an indication of the second act? Assuming that the flash drive nonsense wraps up next week that is.
