Fox's "24" is pulling off the unthinkable this season. No, it's not that it's one-upping previous seasons with an electric blend of nightmare terrorist scenarios and bold twists. It's that it's dispensing with the politically correct evasions that pervade prime time episodic television. "24" identifies the terrorist enemy without flinching and lets the good guys fight to win -- without apologies. In the process, the show is earning a conservative cult following.

I do worry though that the terrorists could get ideas from these shows, I keep hoping that good Muslim boys are in bed by 9:00 pm if they have to get up for dawn prayers eh?
"Oh yeah, forgot about Edgar. He's pretty forgetable."
As an IT kinda guy myself, I think Edgar is spot on incompetant and fits the part. Reminds me of a guy I know named Jack, rides a bike, legally blind, great at IT but, BLIND obviously in so many ways.
hey I agree with you there ananda, it is CSI Vegas all the way, NY just isn't reaching me, Miami is OK but it is on at the same time as something else I prefer to watch.....now I've never caught on to Alias, could be a timing issue
must be = must have
No. It was just a joke. The Colonel always went somewhere else, you know.
You mean, like the guy who had a "bad feeling" about Mohammed Atta on 9/11 but let him board the flight anyway? One person can make a difference.
(Go to the end of the thread, we've been going since the 1st episode this season.)
The best show since La Femme Nikita on cable!
I am ashamed to admit it , but I am addicted to 24. I love the show. When Cloe shot the guy last week I was smiling from ear to ear.
Funny, that's what Mrs. SlowBoat called the rat we were chasing - until the sticky trap got him! Humane traps be damned! Break the rat's thumbs until he tells you where the nukes are!
"it is CSI Vegas all the way"
I live in Vegas, it's a good show, but sometimes they burn me soooo bad. Hey! That's not Vegas! I ant to scream when they show trees in the desert, or hills just outside of town, or older mansions (nothing old here anymore), or other cliches. Still, it's fun too.
Cuz it's a trainwreck every episode.
The bad guys are kicking our ass with body counts.
One Hajii is taking out three or four red shirts.
Then, Jack takes out 3 or 4 more Hajii's PER HOUR.
If they're so easy to kill, how bad are the "Red Shirts"?
See post 152.
Right!
I need Jack here instead of that soft-hearted wimp, the DP.
I love 24 too. Last week as usual was fantastic.
Chloe was great. It's popular because it is NOT PC.
The stupid networks should wake up.
I think before you go around calling people you don't even know a moron, you should look at yourself in the mirror and remind yourself that YOU are the one watching this garbage.
But you are posting your "intellectual" judgement on a show you don't like. I guess that does make you a moron.
I spend a lot of time reading. The 15 minute viewing was easy enough to spot as a rehash of Rosenberg's "The Last Jihad". There is plenty going on in the real world. I'd rather not waste the time on TV fantasy.
Man, you said it. Shane signed his death warrant this past episode. Vic's killed for a helluva lot less.
