OK, BUT WE THOUGHT THE EPISODE IN WHICH FROGMEN TOOK OVER THE WHITE HOUSE WAS TOTALLY BELIEVABLE
Kiefer Sutherland says the next season of 24 will be more realistic.
Key Quote: "It's going to be centered in one of the most realistic circumstances,
because some of our stuff -- let's be fair -- has been kind of
far-fetched."

"Conveniently, he will be in the Big Apple anyway, since the show is moving to the East Coast for the first time next season."
Silly me. I could have sworn that Washington, D.C. was on the East Coast.

Yeah, next year, giant lizards attack Wall Street, bringing the nation's economy to a standstill. Which, come to think of it, is totally realistic.

I thought the Dubaku dinner discussion with his (soon to be late) girlfriend was right out of Arthur Miller myself.

Which end of Arthur Miller?

If Kiefer goes to jail they'll work it into the script somehow. He will either a. be kidnapped b. be in a coma c. go to a special hospital in Europe to be cured. Reuters has the same geographic skills as my daughter. She insisted we lived in the Southern hemisphere because we live in the South. I had to buy a globe for her.

Try bonking her with it, cindy. That should get the message across.

Stop toucheing Annie--this isn't that kind of blog!
"Far-fetched", Kiefer? Yes, in that any number of normal people would have killed both Olivia and Janice/Janeane by now...Please next week? Please?

More realistic? This is good news....this means they're finally going to spend all the time necessary to resolve the Chinese and Audrey situations!

"In real life, he spent 48 days in a Los Angeles jail early last year after being arrested in 2007 for drunken driving."
Wow, harsh. In '24' time, that's, like, 1152 episodes.

More realistic, hunh? So, I guess Jack is going to be indicted for waterboarding? Or maybe he's going to take over the war in Afghanistan? Sounds exciting. I hope he can wrap up that war in 24 hours, too! That would be SO realistical! -Ish.

I take comfort in the knowledge that the concept of "reality" is relative on "24."
If next season is in New York, which is what it sounds like, I wonder if the NYC traffic will be depicted as realistically as the L.A. and D.C. traffic?

Realistic? Blah. Film it in Miami where realism is a fully armed populace. Maybe we can see a little action.

Only screen writers think that setting a story in NYC makes it more "real." You want real? Move CTU to Barstow.
