 Premiering right now (in the East) on TNT is Legends, a new action series from the producers of 24 and Homeland. It's set for 10 episodes, beginning tonight, and was promoted on Twitter with the hilariously appropriate hashtag #DontKillSeanBean. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2402137/ Sean Bean (Goldeneye, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Ronin) plays Martin Odum, an undercover FBI agent who assumes a new identity for each case, and progressively begins to question his sanity. Ali Larter and Tina Majorino are co-stars. Sean Bean rules, it'll be fun seeing him as a good guy, and I hope this is as fun as Southland was.

Oh, I've been meaning to see this. How was the first episode?

Ravane posted:Oh, I've been meaning to see this. How was the first episode? During the first scene I thought his cover was that he was a former IRA bomb-maker who was getting paid by the right-wing militia that made the villains of the week. Then Martin gave his fake backstory and realized that was Sean Bean's genuine attempt at a southern American accent and I just could not stop laughing. Other than that, pretty good action-conspiracy-thriller.

Yeah, I was happy with the pilot. I don't quite know where they're going with the black guy telling him he's not who he thinks he is, but it should be a good series. We all knew Ali Larter was hot, but Tina Majorino's looking good herself.

I have it recorded and only watched the first ten minutes but I liked what I saw. I expected the thread to be a little busier though. I'll watch the rest tomorrow.

The lap dance scene is underrated. I got a laugh out of "Crystal is a cool stripper name" and the "surveillance camera" bit.

A little bit of Bourne, a little bit of 24 and a little bit of Sean Bean wrecking people's poo poo. I like it, even if there are tons of cliches present. Also, Ali Larter.

Episode 2, let's go. Is the driver of the car Johnny Crowder? e- Yes. Also, Tina Majorino is less attractive rocking the Bieber look this week. e- You Russians. The way you play Roulette. It's over too soon...and you only get to play once... CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Aug 21, 2014 |

I couldn't tell if the Russian Johnny Crowder thing was going to turn into a subplot or what. Then they sort of...previewed next week's character by introducing him at the end of the episode and then ended it?

A former Russian chemist known for making VX is kidnapped by Russians. Half a show later the FBI is shocked when chemicals used in making VX are stolen. Bad omen for the season. Hopefully this doesn't fall back on -- the FBI are idiots and Sean Bean must save the day. Otherwise I'm liking this show, Sean Bean is killing it.CBJSprague24 posted:Also, Tina Majorino is less attractive rocking the Bieber look this week.  I was embarrassed for her.

It's a little strange that in the Legends universe VX has been used on people. You'd think they'd choose something like Sarin instead (or anthrax, since the Soviet production of anthrax was a massive state production).

Did Martin hit him with the nerve agent or did the guy stroke out on his own? e- Was the tan-skinned woman who was just face-to-face with the black agent who's been investigating Martin also on Southland? e2- Ok, so Yuri thinks he's in deep poo poo with pissed off, scorned arms dealer Dante/Martin. This will be fun.

I don't know if I'm reading too much into this, but the last time I saw one of these surveys promoted on Facebook by the show's page, it was when Southland was teetering on the edge of cancellation: http://spr.ly/6181WFzZ

C'mon, Sean Bean. You're smarter than that. The guy was shielding himself in the corner of the vault right before you opened the deposit box, and you STILL opened it! Of COURSE there was a flash bomb in the box!

This is true even when he survives, such as in Ronin. Which, if you ever listen to the DVD commentary for Ronin, you'll find out that he WAS supposed to die after he's revealed to be a phony, albeit through suicide. As the van pulls away to take the crew to Nice, there was a gunshot which was removed from the final movie.

The guy investigating Odum is the dumbest moron in the FBI and I'm surprised they just didn't arrest him because he's tailing him as he's investigating an ongoing VX nerve agent sale. How Odum's boss doesn't just transfer him to Anchorage I'll never know.

Daughter shooting man who adopted her out of guilt was cliche but the knife through the hand more than made up for it. Still liking this show. Sean Bean really sold it in his scene with Ali Larter immediately following the interrogation, "Crystal," he said with a sneer.

This show feels like Assassin's Creed when we have these "Hey, you're out of the parallel universe, welcome back!" moments. I feel like this thread needs to be retitled "How Big Will Tina Majorino's Hair Be This Week?"

His feels like a B-storyline which is being shoehorned into the show to add suspense and give this thing a Bourne-esque vibe. e- "They called me (begin Sean Bean Texan accent) An East Texas Contraband-o" CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Sep 11, 2014 |
