I think the "sudden conversion" will be the kid. He's just a kid and now he sees how evil it all is and how his own father used him...at least I hope that's what will happen.

That much is clear. Mom is the question.

I think "mom" will probably go along with the son...especially when she finds out that "Dad' is the one who ordered him killed.

So far the series has been dead-on in support of the Bush Administration and its policies, down to the dedication of the episode to a soldier killed in Iraq.

I hope it continues. Nice dedication at the end of tonight's episode.

Thanks for pinging me to this thread.

It's Monday at 9pm. Has been all season. Yup, no more Tuesday. Remember MONDAY.

Also, the black girl is now in on the terrorist plot as well, so everyone is taking a hit on this one!

I loved the dedication, it was very poignant, especially with the "here comes the Marines" moment at the beginning. This was an A+ episode.

RE: HERITAGE 24 [KJL]
John, I'm holding out for a Corner reference in primetime (so many possibilities). NRODT made an appearance on West Wing a few years ago, so my goal is clear.

HERITAGE 24 [John J. Miller]
On last week's episode of 24, one of the protagonists -- the damsel in distress -- recognized a terrorist collaborator but couldn't remember where she'd seen him previously. On last night's episode, it dawned on her: She had seen him at a Heritage Foundation event. The mention was jarring. I'll withhold judgment on what it all means, except to say for a show that takes great liberties with the real world, it was a surprising real-world reference. Tune in next week.

considering that hawkish anti-terrorists have previously starred as '24' villains and that Keifer Sutherland, notorious commie like his dad, stated that one should judge the direction the shows taking too early, there's no doubt that conservatives will bear the brunt of this season as usual

[ontos-on]

Double -Zactly! The show kicks ass on a scheming black woman who turns out to be a muslim spy; a snot nosed Michael Moore wannabe --who is actually called out for his MM bs by his sec def father; a muslim fanatical group that is taking active measures agianst us on US soil--kills their son's gf and turns on their own flesh and blood; the show consists of an Islamic plot to kill or behead the sec def on internet; the muslims are shown to be fanatical in attacking and destroying people and property in the US; has a foolish woman in charge of the CTU who puts wiping her teenaged daughter's ass ahead of a national emergency and is petty and stupid in her command decisions, calling into question how she got the top job in the first place---ALL OF THE ABOVE GOING DIRECTLY COUNTER TO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS-- and then they happen to mention that they saw some terrorist at a conservative think tank's party--you all go ballistic about bias against the RW!

Gesssh! The sec def's daughter said she was at the Heritage Foiundation party. That alone would tend to lend support to Heritage : ) It just shows that Heritage is au courrant == a place where someone wanting to have a cover among those who count might go and show himself around.

My DX is Paranoia.

I'm sure that Fox will respond to conservative critics the way they responded to muslim critics and tone down any future connection. < /sarcasm >

What Fox Entertainment programming IS conservative or pro-Republican?

King of the Hill at most and even Hank though W had a weak handshake and got nervous about mooning "Not my Ma" Richards.

The Simpsons certainly continues the "Republicans are EVIL" and "them Christians is kooky when they ain't dangerous" mantras.

Paris Hilton? Who's Your Daddy? Paradise Island?

Fox News may be more to the right than CNN or MSNBC but then so is Pravda. Bill O'Reilly is proud that he is not a conservative Republican.

We were told that Charles Bishra was "Charles Bishop, Young Conservative" and that his death was an accident and that it was not meant to mimic the 9/11 attack.

Of course we later learned his name and saw the note (which includes as the first or second line)"these terrorist act that I am committing" (or something like that) only it was scratched out by someone (Charles?). Why wouldn't he just take a new sheet of paper if he is going to cross out the only the first line?

In the note he praised Osama Bin Laden and threatened a nuclear attack on the 2002 Superbowl.

I never have seen anything to support the claim that Charles Bishra was a member of any young conservative organization (as a cover or otherwise). Just a hastily reported "fact" when so much BS was flying in the air.

[ontos-on]

Sorry, I don't have a clue what you are talking about. I don't know who Charles Bishra is supposed to be, what is the point and what it has to do as a reply to mt post # 50.

Help?
