" He's going after another Islamofacist threat, so get ready to hear the pundits whine."

No he won't.

I love the show, but the main message of the show is that it is the American government and conservatives that are the real enemy.

In all the previous seasons, the actual terrorists just end up being tools of some combination of a) rogue American government elements, b) right wing politicians, and c) businessman.

I doubt that's going to change this season. But it's still very entertaining leftist agitprop.

Is that true? I've never seen "24", but plan to watch it tonight. I don't want to waste my type supporting the usual Hollyweird liberal claptrap if that is true.

The only reason we're watching "24" tonight is because of Michael Savage's recommendation of last Friday. He encouraged people to watch the show because they are supposedly using a Muslim family as the terrorist enemy in this 2-hr premiere, instead of a bunch of white Nazi-types, something most Hollywood films/TV shows haven't been brave enough to do, apparently. I plan to watch it out of curiosity...

Jack has shown that he's not one to tow the line. I'll give him points for doing what you gotta do.

The message of the writers is "OK, how can we get them to tune in next week?" If 24 follows its usual arc, the conspiracy gets bigger until it leads to . . . a European. The writers have some arcs, but often write themselves into a box.

The view of the government is actually that it tends to be slow and bureaucratic, which is why Jack always goes rogue. In fact, some of the minor villains are Jack's bosses.

I do contend that it would be a much better show if it were outspokenly right wing.

You forgot Serbs as well.

I stopped watching during the 2nd season because of the political correctness. I am just waiting for that to happen in the 4th season.

I am rather confused about this show.

I borrowed the season 3 DVD set a couple weeks ago and blew through it in about a week (yeah, I neglected a lot of stuff).

However, there are different seasons.

Does every season have a different storyline, or is the entire series about the bioterror threat? It would be hard for me to see the same storyline going through every season.

I have to say, this show rocks. I am hooked like you would not believe.

24 is AWESOME! Just so addicting!
