Mark evidently watched a different 24 this season than the one I caught. Unrealistic plot, unlikeable characters, and a treatment of nuclear power that went beyond technical inaccuracy to blatant fearmongering over nonexistent risks.
Bleah. I’ll stick to Battlestar Galactica, thanks. The plot is fascinating, the characters are likeable, and while the technology is as contrived as that of any science fiction series, at least it doesn’t have real-world consequences. Well…unless it lowers the ethical constraints on building a product line of genocidal fleshbots who look like supermodels…and of course we wouldn’t want that…
