Any '24' fans here? No spoiler

[question everything]

When the first hour started last Sunday, and the way the first lady was handled, and with a name like Martha, I could not help but be reminded of Martha Mitchell, of the Watergate era, who would hold night talks with Helen Thomas and then was handled by the Secret Service.

1. Is it just me

Or does Logan resemble Nixon?

[question everything]

3. He does in appearance. But I don't think that Nixon was so dumb

and pursued by his ego. As a matter of fact, during tonight episode I was thinking: how can the president be so dumb. And, of course, immediately replied to myself that we already have one now..

4. IIRC, Logan was the veep

last season and something happened to the pres.

5. Interview last week on Charlie Rose

Kiefer explained they killed off Keeler, but they weren't allowed to say that's what happened.

[Horse with no Name]

6. Yeah last season

Air Force One was hit by a missile from a stolen stealth bomber.
Keeler was the President and he was in critical condition and they made Logan the President.
However, Logan was very Bush-like. Ignorant and stupid and bumbling so they basically brought in a shadow President to run things.

13. Now that Palmer is dead

I suggest Chloe be named to the post. :)

15. a nixon-bush clone

[hlthe2b]

2. yup....

me too....

Too bad we won't likely see a repeat (late night talks with Helen) with Pickles... Maybe that's why they keep her so medicated....

7. I was a fan, but not so much anymore. Perversely, I'm still recording

the episodes, (no, I couldn't tell you why precisely--habit?) but I don't know if I'll watch anymore. Maybe when Carlos Bernard is back with us. I do kinda want to see how they're going to wrap it all up. Kinda. Watching the premier made me feel dead inside.

8. 24 is great!

Something creepy about the Martha Mitchell thing: My name is Mark Mitchell and my Father and Grandfather are both named John Mitchell...

[BlueIris]

14. Welcome to DU.

Good luck.

[melody]

9. I'm a viewer and yes, I agree

Logan, I think, is drawn from Bush as well as Nixon. The more right-wingnuts on the 24 mailing list, however, are certain they see Clinton everywhere. :eyes: But then don't they always?

Personally, I watch the show for Chloe. lol

[okieinpain]

11. same here, I'm in love with her....

[melody]

12. If I was attracted to women, I'd be in love, too

She's an amazing character.

We're not alone. She's Stephen King's all-time favorite TV character.

10. Logan is always second guessing himself

He had to ask the Justice Department about using torture. Bush never every second guesses himself and I don't think there would be a thought in his head questioning if torture was the right thing to do.

16. Fox: Fear is our Friend

Just a little reminder that even though we are not currently on Orange Alert doesn't mean that you should stop being afraid.

Oh, and don't forget to vote Republican.

Thanks for watching...
