"Threat Matrix" on ABC

[LizW]

Are you guys watching this? It's incredible propaganda.

They are in Iraq hunting a woman scientist that has gone rogue and is creating biological weapons on her own. In the opening sequence, they find her bunker where she has big maps and photographs of the United States with targets circled in red.

It seems to me this whole show is intended to blur the line between fiction and reality and scare the crap out of us.

Also, the opening sequence before the credits showed soldiers at a checkpoint shooting a family in a car that didn't stop. The young, sweet looking soldier fired like five warning shots and the car kept speeding toward the checkpoint. What do you suppose that is supposed to convey to us, the viewers?

This blows my mind. Instead of real news reporting of an actual war that is going on RIGHT NOW, we get fictional television shows about fictional events.

Oh, my god, they've got Sean Hannity on there.

Now they're opening mass graves of VX gas victims of the evil scientist.

Now they're doing flashback scenes of the woman killing her enemies with gas. Voiceover of the forensic woman describing the effects of VX gas in graphic detail.

I'm going to puke.

1. Be careful

"I'm going to puke."

Watch too much of that terra stuff and you might re-puke.

A big, steaming pile of crap is my review.

'swhy I like watching Alias. I'm not sure its a good show, or if Jennifer Garner is just hot. It *might* be a good show... maybe...

Hard to say :D

7. Ugh--escapist fare, huh?

I am having an epileptic fit. I think I'll sue. Is the fictional world created by the Bushie's not sensational enough? Be careful what you wish for...

12. I could have sworn I saw a headline yesterday or the day before about

a group of Hollywood starts that were speaking about against this show. I did not have time to read it at the time and I cannot find it now. Did anyone else see this article?

13. I saw the pilot

It is poorly done propaganda. I had decided not to watch another episode when the lead male character starting calling the anti-G8 protestors "stupid."

14. Watch 24 on FOX, itÕs amazing

Alias is entertaining.
