But if Keifer leaves, I'm not sure if it will be the same. He is the driving force in all of this, IMO.
If Kiefer leaves and the show continues it
will fail. Maybe not instantly....but it will fail. Kinda like "That 70s Show" without Eric or Kelso......it's just a bunch of secondary characters that you could really do without.
Kiefer is the driving force. The first season was all about him and his family. It all centers around him.

I never want him to leave But I think Curtis would be able to carry the show as long as it is still well written. He's the only one I think could take over thats all
Curtis cannot carry the show. I dig him....he's great. But the audience doesn't have an invested interest in him. He came on last season as head field agent.....and a season later he's still in the same position. There was no back story for him. There's nothing there for the audience to connect with him.
The only reason Tony Almeida has lated so long was the fact that he's been there since season 1. They explained how he was involved in all this. So the audience has reason to watch and care about Tony.
Just FYI---Season 1 was meant to be a one-shot thing. It was developed to be self-contained yet open ended.....just like Ultimate Annual. When they made season 1 they made it under the assumption that it wouldn't be picked up for a second season. But when the show was picked up for another season...they tied the basis of season 2 and 3 with the continuing plotlines/characters from season 1.

Curtis is a great character and all, but he's no Jack Bauer.
Jack Bauer ain't even Jack Bauer. Jack Bauer could never live up to sheer badassness reputation of Jack Bauer. You could be talking to Jack Bauer one day and be like "I heard Jack Bauer once killed 27 armed terrorists by himself with a bullet lodged in his stomach!" To which Jack Bauer would emabarassingly reply "No....it was nothing like that. It was actually 14 armed guards. And I only had a bullet in my shoulder. Nothing fatal."

Of course but I want more Curtis, I see him as Jack's partner, the only one who could keep up with him, he's alway had great trust in him
You're forgetting Chase from Season 3. He was Jack's parter....just as skilled....but he couldn't keep up. You know what being Jack Bauer's partner gets you??? Your hand chopped off. It ain't safe to be around Bauer.
Curtis is good as an accomplice and back-up. But he'll never be Jack's partner.

I'd love to see him as Jack'S partner. They work great together.
They do.....but like I said....it'll never happen. Jack stands alone.
Ok...now my thoughts on last night's episode. It was ok. Nothing to exciting. And that's to be expected. They've had 4 episodes of action. It's time they slowed it down a bit and do some character growth. And that's what they did.
Great plot twists and revelations.....but nothing to get excited about. Except the Jack Bauer Throwdown Extreme Extravangaza!!!!!! "Hi...I'm Jack Bauer.......I'll be handing you your *** today." :rockon:
