Didnt he properly get killed off?

StevieP · 17 Jul 2014 at 16:00

I'm fairly sure he just got carted off to federal prison!

Yup, according to Wiki:

Wilson arrives to speak with Tony, but the group is ambushed by the FBI. Retreating into a warehouse, Tony kills Cara and corners Wilson. As Tony prepares to kill him, he reveals that not only did Wilson kill Michelle, but he also killed their unborn son. Jack and Renee arrive, disabling Tony before he has the chance to carry out his revenge. Tony is led away into FBI custody once again, cursing and raging at Jack.

This is what i recall but there's been too many hours and characters to remember.

Quite enjoyed the shorter season albeit it's laughable what happened in the time window .. still .. take it for what it is. Action drama not to be taken seriously.

My wife, an ex-Londoner, was forever picking fault with the time aspect - no way you could get from Finsbury to wherever in 3 minutes!!!!

Was a decent ending but I much prefer 24 episode in a series. Next series shot and set in Moscow then?

Bring back Mandy.

How about East London to Southampton Docks in less that 15 minutes by car!!!

Did anyone also notice that not only did all the American characters have a very large 'Sprint' logo or 'Verizon' logo on their Mobiles (if the CIA op's were posted there wouldn't they have a UK provider!?) but also the UK characters were also on Sprint/Verizon too!!

And the "hang on, it's really noisey here, can hear me ok?" scene that was clearly showing off a phone feature.

Apparently the Jacket Jack was wearing in some of the scenes which most suspected to be a Barbour of some description is some brand called a Bellstaff with the badge removed.

Quite cool although very expensive! I think Jack pulls it off better than the Beardy Fella in the link! makes Barbour seem cheap!

LOL You have obviously never been to LA then. They seem to be able to get anywhere by car in less than 10 mins.. Torrance to Pasadena in 10 mins.. LOL

I thought it was going to escalate further with Jack beharding Chang, especially after the Chinese said they wanted to verify he was still alive. How did Jack get away with that anyhow?

It's not the worst he's done by a stretch!! I seem to remember series 3 or 4 where he hacked off some guy's head and took it with him in a bag!

Besides.......Jack don't play by no rules!!!! :cool:

It was his arm, rather famous now, that when he just tortured ANYONE he thought had a remote chance of knowing something. Actually im not sure, know theirs was one where he had to take a head and bring it with him as proof.

Remember one he pulled the cables out of a lamp to electrocute some fella lol.

That was the first episode of season 2.

Zbornak · 19 Jul 2014 at 01:26

He also ate someone in season 4. I think it was 4.

Edit: no it was 6.

I did enjoy Game of Drones.

Hopefully get a gritty Russian season next.

The whole thing was too US-centric really. Not hugely surprising because it's obviously an American show but I do wish they'd used London as more than just a backdrop. American agents under American command, American phones, American cars...it's easy to switch your brain off when it's set in LA or whatever and they're doing as they please but they really failed to take advantage of the UK setting properly.

i would like to have seen them using the Boris bikes. haha

Terrible.

I'd write more, but that seems to sum it up, for me.

Glaucus · 30 Aug 2015 at 13:48

I'm the opposite, I thought it was brilliant, same old totally over the top stupidity. But then again it's action and all the best action is over the top stupid like predator.
I'm surprised I found it good, as the last couple of series really bored me, don't know if it's just been long enough time passed or what. But that why I've only just watched it thought it would be rubbish, finished it in two days.
