Got spare money?

Last episode wasn't so good, too much emotion and tearfulness and stuff that did not advance the plot.

Well they kind of did a plot reset, so they have to set up the whole thing almost from scratch again.

I hope there is something more in the mix this season. I'd hate to think that the rest of the season is going to revolve around finding Marwan.

They got, what, 12 more episodes? They'll do something else. There was that whole 'air base' thing that Marwan spoke about.

I'm betting on the air base thing being an attempt to aquire a nuke weapon.

Yeah, a bit much feelings crap but there was enough action with the emp plotline. And it was worth it just to see Michelle struttin in.

Fans had been complainingg about character quality and continuity so the writers did something about it. Good job.

I'm a bit disappointed in all of these random storylines being picked up and discarded. Behrooz and Terrorist Mom have apparently disappeared, along with Driscoll (who, admittedly, I never liked in the first place). Then there's the issue of the Secretary of Defence's son, who came to nothing. It feels like they're making it all up as they go along.

I think they are changing what they had planned to be Politically Correct...

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=sto...v/tv_24_muslims

I didn't post the whole article since I found 1 phrase to be a minor 'politically correct' spoiler for future characters.

quote:
Muslims Slam Their Portrayal in '24'
"My own kids, if they see this show, they might hate me."
...
"It seems like on television, everybody has their turn as the bad guys: It happened to the Italians, the Russians. Now it's our turn," he said.
...
Mohamed Heva, a computer network administrator from Washington Township, also watched the episode at Bekhiet's home. He suspects this season's plot line was intended not only to entertain, but to validate the Bush administration's foreign policy.

"Sometimes I feel like it's being done on purpose, to instigate things and to let people know what the administration is doing is right," he said. "It makes people look at every Muslim as a terrorist. These guys want to melt down reactors and kill Americans. That makes people hate us even more."

...


See, Bush saved us from the terrorists on '24'!
Now we need to stop the evil Italians and Russians!

All the PC is getting out of hand.

24 is about CTU, and what does the T stand for?

It's not like every terrorist on 24 has been from the middle east. If there never was one, it would start to become unrealistic. (not that the show is always realistic )

I don't want to see this get so out of hand, that it's like "sum of all fears" and it's only PC to show ex Nazi's as terrorists because no one is worried about offending them. Geeze.

One thing people forget is that during the second season, 24 had a scene where some ignorant Americans killed a Muslim guy just because he was Muslim. Ironically, he was a good guy trying to help Jack.

I remember that episode. It was heartbreaking. He was a good guy and a good agent too. A Muslim version of Tony.

Yeah, I remember that one also, so all those that think they just show muslims in a negative light can kiss my ***.

That would be.... impossible. To redo half the series in breakneck speed for PC concerns? I really don't think so.

Not really (though you may have been fascious) . Yes, the enemy was changed from American to French, but not because Americans would be offended, but because the main enemy in O'Brien's series of books (20+) are the French. It is about the Napoleonic Wars after all.

They don't need to redo half the series in breakneck speed. When Enterprise was officially cancelled they only had a few unseen episodes to show. If '24' started addressing PC concerns for episodes when this was brought up earlier, 2 months ago, they have had plenty of time to re-edit the original director's cut and possibly, if necessary, redo a scene or 2 for what we're watching now.

How long roughly does a full episode take to complete...

quote:
The new episode has begun production and will be rapidly advanced through post-production in time for the October 3 airdate. Storyline details are not being released at this time.

"NBC'S 'The West Wing' to Produce Special Episode ..."
September 21, 2001
nbcmv.com


And they don't need to make/redo entire new episodes like above, only edit some existing ones. And episodes they haven't started production on they can get the writers to make changes to what they had planned before production starts.

That aside, doing this, which explains the random storylines and character disappearances, is just my speculation.
