I don’t know whether to post this on the Zoo Station or FYM boards, but I’ll just stick it here for now.
The 4th season of 24 has just premiered in Australia and we are about 4 or 5 episodes in. While I very much enjoyed the show and its past seasons, I would have to wonder if 24 has a right leaning, pro-Bush stance. Although I disagree with torture except in extreme circumstances, it’s almost used casually in the show. I almost got sick when (SPOILER) James Heller ordered the torture of his own son.
Although on the other hand Palmer is a Democrat, which is also pretty interesting given the fact that he acts in ways which are opposite to the Bush administration (ie. Doing everything he can to prevent a war in season 2).
Look, I’m not pointing fingers here, at the end of the day 24 is one of the few great things in television right now, I just want to hear peoples views on this.
