    Well, 2 hours into the new season of 24 and were the liberals right? Nope. The show paints the detention centers and the lowered civil rights as a bad thing.

    Try again.

    Just another example of the far left's own use of "fear mongering." Remember when the Republicans were going to steal the elections in 2006?

    And seriously, why do they always keep ignoring Jack's advice? It's season 6 people. Get your heads out of your asses!

    who cares. so what. it's a tv show that most of the planet doesn't watch.


    however, heroes is the bomb.

    lost is clearly the best show on tv, and that's just fact.

    i think it's funny...this propoganda talk. reading some of the posts on the first page...my God, i'm guessing that most recent posters here think that having an american flag as a stamp is some xenophobic, nationalistic propoganda.

    for all the bullshit that us right wing whacko's have to put up with at the movies, comedy clubs, etc, deal with the fact that a popular tv show focuses on radical zealots, you pinko crybabies :)

    I've watched just about every episode of Lost...the first season was almost 100% goodness...but it has sucked since with only a few good spots...I wonder why I even watched it now and I wonder if I will when it comes back.

    I feel like I've invested so much that they owe me something, so I may watch, but it is FAR from the best show on TV.

    Sorry, I'm just a bit bitter about the direction of that show. ;)
    hippiemom = goodness

    As far as Lost goes...

    It was a good show the first season, but now it's simply retarded.

    The Others, The Hatch, The Code, all these new characters, etc, ect, ect... Soooooo dumb!

    Pretty sad when a show that was intended for one season gets stretched out and made retarded because of ratings...
    Oh well.

    I still don't mind lost, but the last couple episodes did suck.

    I totally agree. I get about as much satisfaction from watching lost as I do watching a reality tv show... I can't stop though for some reason but at the end of each episode, I just get annoyed at myself.

    Don't get me started on Prison Break... the main guy (the brother of the one on death row) has the most irritating facial expression (note SINGULAR) in history. It's like 'this is my pretty annoyed face', 'this is my really angry face', 'oh look I'm happy now, see me smile'... ALL the same fucking expression... much like Horatio in CSI Miami :eek: So irritating.

    24 however IS the best programme on tv. It's the only one I HAVE to watch, refuse to answer my phone or be civil to anybody... gripping stuff it is. However, it IS just a TV programme :rolleyes: . To suggest it's being used by the Fox network to condition people is simply ridiculous. Why then would they have had such a peaceful, noble, anti-war president in David Palmer?
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    The funny thing about that is Chloe seems to be the only one to ever believe Jack, but she, at the same time, looks like she really does have her head up her ass.

    no, to me, it's clear that they are in purgatory (sp?) the show is about redemption and everyone gets a chance to "start over."

    I think a lot of people have grown tired of the show b/c of the lack of plot...but i think it's a really interesting idea....and i usually hate tv shows, including 24...which is funny, since this is a 24 thread.

    I remember reading an interview with the Lost creators/writers in which they specificially stated the characters were not dead, and were not in purgatory.

    I may have read the same thing...but it's where I'm at now. It's fun to speculate. I also heard just yesterday that they will be ending the show soon..maybe a five season show...which I actually like b/c I don't want it to turn into something assinine like the x-files did.

    The main point is...is that I think the show is so addictive b/c it deals with character development as opposed to plot development. I like that.
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    I agree. The show, IMO, has really been good the last 2 seasons. Didn't Kiefer sign on for a couple more years? I'm pretty sure he did.
    I just hope after this year they mix it up a bit. A new location with maybe a darker, less action-type appeal might be good for the show.

    sorry...i actually never watched 24...I somehow managed to turn a 24 thread into a Lost thread!
