I think the producers of 24 may continue to go against conventional, politically correct story lines. Because, like the Exec's at FOXNEWS they may have figured out that it can turn out to be very profitable.

My guess(hope) is that we'll find that Gellar's son is a member of a lunatic fringe leftist enviornmental group that we will find out is being supported by middle eastern terrorists groups in an effeort to undermine U.S. security.

How would that be for going against the grain of the current "Hollywood Establishment?"

I'll make a prediction. 24, which up to now had been a critics darling, if they continue the storyline as it is now, will have their most successful season in terms of viewership/ Ratings. Which is really what's most important.

But mark my words, they will have their LEAST successful season with regards to critical acclaim as awarded by the New York and Hollywood Entertainment Pundits.

Yeah, I would like to see more chatter about the series in the media circles. It is undoubtedly popular, but my sensor tells m ethat talk about it has decreased. The way I found out about it was through media chatter. The Fox football telecast had th eannouncers talking about this ashow that they warned --once you tune in , you wont fail to see every episode. That has proven true enough in my case and I dont usually watch non news TV.

I believe that the turkish son beroosh will do something important and that we have not seen the last of Chloe. I like what you predicted about the connection with the sec def's son. When I heard him say something like " dont give me that Michael Moore Bullspit philosophy", I was alerted that here was a different kind of show. They have not failed to live up to that introduction.
