Who knows, the people at 24 might take the stance that Dressel stated in that they are pushing for a female president and have her be a very strong commander in chief, OR they could go the exact opposite direction with it and portray her as inept in dealing with terrorism, which is the defining issue on the show.  How they play this out could be one of the most controversial moves that they've made, and it could be politically motivated... but I think it's par of their plan to get their ratings back up.

You can bet your ass that Murdoch and FOX aren't going to allow anything that would overtly help out Hillary Clinton.

Rob - why do you ask member(s) to stop with the political postings and then 'bait' people with posts like that?

Jayson makes a good point about the White House... I'm getting a little burnt out on all the presidential involvement.  Would be nice to see a season without that element.

I tried to show restraint... then I sort of vomited a political comment.

It happens.

Enough with the Oval Office... it's become a soap opera! Presidental assassinations or attempts, the Lisa/Daniels affair, etc.

I hope like hell that CTU is one fortified MoFo, too. I'm tired of the usual mole/infiltration of the building over and over again. Next year ninjas will be crawling out of the toilets to kidnap/kill Chloe.

What I think the series needs is a new all out b!tch like Nina Myers again.

Also, do you guys remember in Season 5 when Jack screws over the French German intelligence agent (Theo Stoller) by destroying the "wet list" that he promised him for turning over that terrorist chick (Collete Stinger)? 

Maybe we'll see that come back to bite Jack this season, and hopefully see Collette again -

Agreed. I'd take Hillary any day over the inept, illegal man holding office currently.


EDIT: I decided to let that go, I'm in a good mood.

Chewie brings up a good point though, and one I should have come up with myself...being that 24 is on Fox, it could be that the US is going to be ravaged by terrorists on the show and Lady MacBeth won't be able to respond effectively or won't have the will.  I guess we'll have to wait and see which it is, because my initial reaction, as it should be for most things that come out of the majority of the media or Hollywood, was that they were promoting Shrill Hill.

I'll definitely be paying close attention to see which it is.

Meh, I for one am always willing to preside over said vomit, it spices things up a little here or there, we don't have the same e-playgrounds we used to have at RS and briefly GH.  Those were the days...

If it were my house, I'd allow it too - but it's not.

I think people are going too far with this female President thing...we have to have two African American Presidents first because of the Palmer brothers.  It means that Obama is going to win in '08...I wonder if he has a younger brother...   ;)

First a woman president and now this?

Doesn't bother me any, the show has sucked ass ever since Season 2.

Hmmm. Well, just a reminder that anybody that's a name can die off relatively quick in the show. RIP, Kumar. Hope there's a White Castle in heaven for ya.

That trailer blew me away... especially after seeing the first 6 seaons.  WOW.  Thanks Jayson!
