You're missing a lot of it imo. It was a good well written show

I dont mind her at all. If she was integral to the storyline, maybe I'd feel differently. (but I'm only 6 eps in).
She's brought back into the main storyline, but it's a real stretch. I liked the show, but that part was eye roll inducing to me.

I felt like this was definitely worth watching, and I'm interested to see where they go with the 2nd season.

I would also say to a good amount of people on this thread...you really have to learn how to enjoy entertainment without letting your political stance control your life.

based on the wait for season 1 they'll release a trailer at the superbowl and we'll get the new season around Christmas 2020.

Looks like maybe an interpretation of clear and present danger?

It does give that vibe. I wonder if we get a Clark and Chavez introduction... with a future spinoff in mind.......

Technically we had "Clark" last season with Matice or Garth as he went by in France, but I think I remember reading that because of some licensing stuff they can't actually use John Clark as a character. So they basically just changed the name.

Correct. From some screwy reason, they don't have the rights to the John Clark name. Matice will be the same character, just a different name.

Star Trek ended up with split licensing between Paramount and CBS due to the Viacom split. Iirc the reasoning that they didn't get it rights for John Clark is because Paramount was developing another Jack Ryan movie but I don't remember hearing anything about that lately.

Now, it looks like Star Trek will be back all under one roof. But I kind of hope that Paramount thinks back on how split licensing effected Star Trek as a franchise.

I would be super excited for this season to be C&PD and then next season to be a Hunt for Red October reboot.

Teaser looks good. I really enjoyed S1.

JK is a perfect fit for this role.

That would be good. Having 8-10 hrs to tell a story would let them do the books justice compared to the 2hr movies. Would love to see Cardinal of the Kremlin in this format, although don't know how they could translate that to modern times.

Easy.

Their hypersonic missile program instead of "Star Wars". You'd have to change a couple of things, and probably include some "Star wars"-esque stuff, but it would be fine.

After reading about Cardinal, I totally want that. Not just from Amazon, but a full on movie.

Most Clancy fans list Cardinal in their top 2 or 3 of the Jack Ryan books.

Yeah, I didn't get any raving lib crap when I watched season 1.

Put me down for a Kremlin-based season.

The only part i personally took issue with was the whole drone pilot subplot. Primarily bc it had so little to do with the main plot of the show. So little in fact that it seemed purposely shoehorned in so the producers/writers could pontificate on certain "issues". But really my issue had very little to do with the politics of it (even though it was definitely eyebrow raising) but really the fact that it really didnt matter to the grand scheme of the show itself. It was just dumb.

Greer being a Muslim/career case officer rather than an Admiral just felt like a way for them to "modernize" some of his character development. zero issue with that. you have to expect some dramatic license, especially since season 1 followed no actual book plot.


thoroughly enjoyed season 1 and cant wait for season 2!

Those seemed kind of forced, I agree. But they were a small part to the overall story. I do like that Greer is more of a gritty field guy, making up for past mistakes. They gave him a lot more personality, and the contrast of his "you work with bad guys to catch the really bad guys" philosophy to Jack's boy-scout approach (at least initially) made for a great storyline.

Given the content of S1 with it heavily focused on Islamic terror, I'm not surprised they threw some of those things in there to compensate for it.

But it didn't take away from the overall experience for me. I really enjoyed it.
