But for the most part, the show doesn't try too hard to gore anybody's ox. 253508@blogcritics.org Tue, 11 Oct 2005 21:55:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/07/004828.php#comment-252967 Excellent recap fellas! Now I'm not sure if the writers in 24 have a good sense of humour and just there for the laughs. 3 things stood out; 1) There was a delay getting info on this nuke as it was destined to be de-armed under the nuclear proliferation act. Anyone spot any propaganda here??? The Bush administration withdrew the United States from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, pressed forward with the deployment of a national missile defense system (a latter day version of "Star Wars"), dropped nuclear disarmament negotiations, and proposed the development of new U.S. nuclear weapons. All since 2000 &ndash; not too shabby. 2) hahhahaha &ndash; the whole Amnesty inter... I mean global thing &ndash; I wonder if the inmates at Guantanamo bay see 24 and are wondering where their lawyers are?? 3) At the end of this show in Australia, a brief low down of what's to come is given. The (acting) American president is depicted as a danger to himself and country, a person who can't complete coherent sentences and makes bad decisions. Hello?? Where did they get the inspiration for this one?? Sorry about the all very political observations &ndash; I wonder if the writers really were taking the piss or believe what they write?? 252967@blogcritics.org Mon, 10 Oct 2005 22:22:17 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/07/004828.php#comment-158220 Thanks for identifying the "Jefferson City, Iowa" error. There's definitely no "Jefferson City" in Iowa. Though Jefferson, Iowa does have a <a href="http://www.jeffersoniowa.com/menuOpen.php?menuId=8">168' bell tower</a>...maybe there's a hidden nuclear silo underneath. 158220@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 May 2005 16:46:06 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/07/004828.php#comment-151937 you're welcome! 151937@blogcritics.org Thu, 12 May 2005 22:41:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/07/004828.php#comment-151804 Wow -- this is some recap.
