One of televisions biggest shows returned this week. The sixth season of 24 began as a two-night two-hour premier that left critics raving and fans craving more. Unlike previous seasons, that saw federal agent Jack Bauer and fellow agents at CTU trying to thwart a terrorist plot in the making, this season opened-up with the country already under attack. The fourth episode of the season premier, which television critics voted the best episode in the show's history, had a shocking end, that included a nuclear bomb going off outside Los Angeles.
These events set off some controversy, which is nothing new to the show. The show has always been accused of reinforcing negative racial stereotypes and advocating the use of torture to obtain information. Jack is also constantly having to make the decision to sacrifice a few lives to potentially save many. These elements of the show have made it a hot topic among politicians of both parties.

This blog started out as an assignment for class in which I focused mainly on 24. I recapped the episodes of the week and any controversy that the show had stirred up. Now that my class is over, I've branched out to write about whatever catches my interest.
