The Two Faces of Kidron
Good morning, everyone and happy Friday. So, before I sign off for the weekend, I wanted to fill you in a kinda cute story I found while browsing 24 forums. It’s from the Akron-Beacon Journal website and talks about last week’s episode. Specifically, the last segment where Dubaku decides he needs a new plot to get through to the President.
If you remember, he ordered his terror!computer geek to hack into a chemical plant… a plan that would lead to thousands of casualties (and a big blow to Taylor’s stance on not backing down at all). Well, it turns out there is a real Kidron and the executive producer used to live near there. It’s pretty different from the real one, though. And not as attractive a target, casualties-wise. Read on to see how.
I think it’s nice that Braga decided to give a little nod to a place he grew up near and like that he decided not to use a place that’s too well-known. Still, should be interesting to see what stories come out afterwards if Dubaku actually succeeds in his plot. I also found out from the article this one was written before the writer’s strike came along and messed everything up. If the producers (and everyone else involved) are to be believed, the quality of the episodes should start getting better soon. So what do you all think? Did you like this episode? Do you think it’s a good idea or a bad idea for them to use a real location? I guess that’s about it for now. Take care and I’ll see you guys again on Monday.

Why use a real location for this, but a fake African country?

i’m bummed about Nadia. Marisol Nichols was great. Anyone know what she’s doing now?

Hi, Erin. It looks like all is pretty quiet on the Marisol front. Her wiki page lists her last credit as 2008. I think there’s a good reason for that though, as she just had a baby in September. Here’s her official site for more info. They post a lot of her interviews on it.
