24 Legacy ended its season with a time warp, making the show only 12 hours. Fans of the franchise are outraged. 24 has always been 24 hours and the latest addition was only 12 hours.
One outraged fan concluded that it was race-based. He said, “It’s like February, give the black people the short end of the stick.” This was in reference to the star of the new show being an African-American named Eric Carter instead of the traditional white guy, Jack Bauer.
Others have compared this with the show 60 Minutes doing a 30-minute episode. Some say that Hollywood has run out of ideas and just does not have enough content to fill entire seasons or provide complete movie scripts. Movies have been getting shorter and shorter and will soon be shorter than TV shows. Rumors are that Game of Thrones will air its final season in a single, 30-minute episode.
Regardless of why the season was cut short, fans are upset and want their missing 12 hours.
