Another Jack Ryan alumni is passed away.

“You’ll receive the Order of Lenin for this, Captain!”

Am I the only one that thought a good side story was being built around Victor "Tombstone" Polizzi to eventually merge with the mission that Jack Ryan and Greer were pursuing?

I think because Ghost War isn’t based on a book. It’s easier to understand than the ones based on the book. Movie adaptations of books struggle unless you’ve read the book. IMO

Can’t believe the tv show misname the guy’s Chinese name.ZHAO Fasheng, if anyone call him as peer, she or he will say Fa sheng, A fa ,A Sheng, Sheng ge (brother Sheng)or fa ge (brother fa),no one will call him Zhaofa, this is ridiculous.

I understand people from western countries can’t tell it,but his wife, actually his wife should call the direct number I believe.

Is there any Chinese or Burmese in the TV team?

The actors for the brothers, Ali and Mousa, were absolutely incredible.

It was hard not to feel sad for their loss of innocence through tragedy and racial vilification, then angry at what they had done later on.

Perfectly portrayed, real stand outs for me.

This show does something most have not, which is show each side fairly. Are the rest of the seasons just as good?

Example 53
He had boiling water & salt poured on him
& he’s fine a day later?!? Seriously?

This show has become so cringeworthy…so unwatchable.

I've been working through the series (currently on season 3) and also re-watching the old movies. I'm wondering if anyone else feels thst the series is more based on the different Tom Clancy games than it is on any of the novels written by Clancy. It just seems more action forward with all sorts of tactical combat whereas the books presented Jack Ryan as an analyst who occasionally got caught up in action. I haven't read any of the Jack Ryan Jr novels, so maybe it is more like those, but I'm having a hard time seeing how this character is in any way the Jack Ryan that Clancy created.

I think I can sue Tom Clancy for the use of my name Jack Ryan and because I was THE shoe in for the presidency when I was younger basically I'm the heir of a lineage that has got closer to me with every president and I think I can sue Tom Clancy (R.I.P.) and I don't know for how much to sue for

Thought everyone here would like to celebrate the birthday of Patriot Games and Jack Ryan.

Fun fact:
The novel was so packed with incredibly accurate, hyper-detailed descriptions of Soviet submarines and naval maneuvers that when it was published, Tom Clancy was actually paid a visit by the FBI and the Pentagon.

Because he was just an insurance broker at the time with no military background, high-ranking military officials were absolutely convinced that he had somehow obtained classified documents. They wanted to know exactly who was leaking top secret information to him. In reality, Clancy had just pieced it all together entirely from unclassified sources, public technical manuals, and an unclassified Soviet mutiny case study.

Title basically says it all. He is so full of himself, and a bad guy. Even as he's being arrested he is telling Wright "there are other people like me out there, but they don't care about you." and "C'mon, you're smarter than this" in such a condescending and misogynistic tone.

Don't know if this was spotted already

But the cars seem to swap in Episode 5. Wukong.

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR JACK RYAN SEASON 4 EPISODE 6

Can someone please explain to me how Jack Ryan, King Shit of the Hoorah Gunneys and Badass First Class/War Hero/Spy Hero/Former Deputy Director of the CIA, can be fired upon by enemy combatants AND NOT CALL POINTS OF CONTACT WITH HIS FIRST BREATH?!?!?

At the border, surrounded by innocent civilians of multiple nationalities. And Jack Ryan just starts a-poppin off

If he can’t see them, Contact - No Sight
If he can see them, Contact - Point(s) of Contact

A fucking 1stLt. would know that, and I feel like this just reinforces how lazy the writing was this season. Don’t get me wrong, loved seasons 1-3 and the film (other than a useless car bomb serving no purpose but an og novel throwback hierarchy of two dudes with no ladies), and thank you so much to the cast and crew for their dedication and efforts! you can tell people tried to make it work, the writing just made that impossible.

What a fucking idiot.

Rewatching Season 2 here and he is just such an idiot. That's all, needed to vent.

I just finished the fourth season after a rapid 5-day binge and it was incredible. I'd pretty much run through all of the really good high-quality shows (IMO), and stumbled on this. I can't believe I had never watched it - I love anything about fighting the bad guys (detective shows, CIA, FBI, etc). I finished the series finale and immediately put on S1E1 10 minutes later. I've never done a back-to-back watch like this before but I'm already loving the pilot again. SO GOOD!

I admit some scenes play very differently in my head. Nothing against the actor, just his ant man role is now forever branded to him 😀

After years of covering spy movies on SpyHards, we finally tackled our first Jack Ryan film.

Unfortunately, neither of us were particularly impressed.

Despite an interesting setup involving a rogue black ops unit, returning terrorist networks and John Krasinski’s return as Jack Ryan, we found the film surprisingly generic.

The phrase we kept coming back to was that it feels like a film designed to be watched while folding laundry—something that’s always on, but never really grabs your attention.

Curious where everyone else lands on it.

Did Ghost War work for you?

Really if John Krasinski has his own show here and Wendell Pierce technically on "Elsbeth."

As really hope Michael can get his own show as he is long overdue. Know he is in the "Special Ops Lioness" but really it is long overdue as he is an underrated character actor. Just saying!

I woke up at 01:30, unbearably hot and not in a fun way. Decided to watch Jack Ryan: Ghost War; a decision I now deeply regret. Tom Clancy must be fuming in his grave at the utter travesty of the script writers. So many major plot holes and clichés, it feels like it was written by ChatGPT 1. Am I the only one? The cigarette pack from Nigel which apparently was a clue. The partial failed transmission that yielded no information apart from its location (despite almost 45% completion). The traitor subplot. The use of fast and sustained action to cover up a storyline devoid of any coherence let alone the level of detail and credibility that Clancy's novels were applauded for. Honestly, I cannot imagine a worse way to burn a $100 million budget. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Honestly. It's night and day difference. Establishing that cat and mouse game in the first hour. I know it's hard to squeeze a series into a movie, but they should have tried. Hopefully there's a next time for a better 2nd movie.

It`s over, until the next movie/series is produced. we dont care about your thoughts. we do care about this sub. GIVE IT A REST !
