Ken from Chicago...
Sure, 24 has co-producers David Fury (of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ANGEL and
LOST) as well as Manny Cotto (of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, ODYSSEY 5, and OUTER
LIMITS) but that's not what makes it science fiction.

dhb...
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (broadband switching and transmission
technology)

(or...at the moment, anti-tank missle, at the movies,......according to
me, addicted to music ....)


The dad called his wife--from a PAY PHONE.

Ken from Chicago...
Radiation exposure could result in a tumor.

You win the kindergarten kewpie doll.


Have you tried to find one lately? Now this is a guy who normally has a cell

fred_h_haddad...
There's one at almost every gas station. Also hotels.


fred_h_haddad...
Are you sure? Was this stated in the show? Doesn't make sense,
because there would not be a presidential election in 2001, but in 2000
or 1996.


fred_h_haddad...
Your math is wrong. If we were watching a presidential primary in 2000
that would be early in the year. Say, March. So 1.5 yrs added to
March 00 equals:

2 == +1.5 = 9/01
3 == +3.0 = 9/04
4 == +1.5 = 3/06
5 == +1.5 = 9/07 (2007)

Yes it's in the future, but not far enough to make a huge difference in
the sets. Imho you're making a fuss over nothing. ;-)

phone, so how would he even know where to find a pay phone? under pressure,
in minutes?

copeab...
Actually, finding a pay phone isn't too hard. Finding one that can
*recieve* phone calls is nearly impossible.


Moreover 24 is NOT set in present day.
