3/24 and 4/24

The 24 experiment continues to go well. I'm told that yesterday's two episodes are the logical progression from previous seasons--once you've had a few thousand close calls, once in a while a bomb has to go off. And it seems that as long as you're having a bomb go off, it might as well be nuclear.

In what I've seen so far, there seems to be a pretty subtle (but surprising) undercurrent of liberal political agenda. The President is doing everything he can to stop the attacks, and hasn't even looked outside of American borders for an enemy. I think that pacifism might stop next week, though, because the preview said something about retaliation. It's just interesting to contrast President Palmer's response to President Bush's response in roughly similar situations.

So far I have to favor the fictional president.
