I am a big fan of 24, starring Keifer Sutherland. I didn't miss a single episode yet and right now the 3rd season is on the air in Turkey.

The 4th season has recently started in the US on Fox TV and guess what... The storyline, I heard, is about Turkish terrorists, specifically "sleeping cells" on the US soil, pointing to the Turkish-American citizens. They kidnap the US Secretary of Defence.

In the past seasons, no nationality was ever mentioned for the bad guys, except for a Mexican drug cartel and an ex-MI6 agent gone rouge. As a result, Turkish-Americans are on high alert and uneasy about the situation, fearing possible attacks from mad Americans who are easily hypnotized by movies. :(

Well season 1 was about Serbians... season 3 is as good as season 1.. much better than the second season... worth seeing it :)

As for the Turkish thing.. there was an issue started by an ex FBI agent of Turkish origin that was fired from the agency because she found out somethings about Turkish MIT involvment in the 9/11 attacks.. i'll find her name and possible other info if you're interested... it appears that MIT knew something or took part in something, thus now you have a movie about it :) (not to mention a Turkey not that friendly to the US latetly...)

For God's sake look at those names, supposed to be Turkish names, used in 24 Season 4!!!! I thought the producers of the series conducted a decent research before coming up with the storyline and the characters... :(

Tomas Sherak: Sounds more like a Vulcan name than a Turkish name..

Dar: :blink: Errrr, we don't have such name. Again it suits a character in Star Trek universe.

Navi Araz: We don't have Navi and the correct for Araz is Aras.

Behrooz Araz: Should be Behrus Aras

Dina Araz: We don't have Dina

Omar: This is the Arabic version. In Turkish it is Omer.

Abdul: It should be Abdul-something, like Abdullah, Abdulkadir, etc. Abdul on its own is an Arabic name.

Kalil Hasan: Should be Halil Hasan. :hammer:

Not to mention, some of those names (Navi, Dina) sound like names used by Jewish-Turkish citizens. I am dissapointed man!!! :cantbe:

Ohh, come on picard.. they are americans.. what did you expect from them.. do you thing they know where is Turkey? These guys believe that we Greeks still dress like the ancients and worship the 12 gods (thing that i would like better that Christianity but anyway..)

Have you seen any episode of season 4?

Nope, I haven't. I live in Turkey and right now there is Season 3 here. Now that Season 4 is anti-Turkish, I doubt that it will ever be shown here.

@Picard: You are officialy part of the Axis of Evill! :lol:

What season 4 Anti-Turkish?
Bloody Americans.
And they can't even do a decent background gathering of names.
Typicall, I'm very dissapointed.
Im watching the last parts of series 3 here in Belgium and they ROCK.

The NAMES are your problem? Not that millions of peoples around the world would see Turkey as a land of Terrorists? :damn:

No mate, I'm dissapointed, but if they have to act Anti-Turkish, they could use some decent names;

I am watching season 4 and it is NOT overtly anti-Turkish. But...

It has to do with a Turkish terrorist organization that placed sleeper cells in the US. At no point does it point directly to Turkish goverment or citizens. On the other hand, they have not gone out of their way to seperate the terrorist or make them a "rogue" element of Turkish society.

To many (most?) Americans, Turkey is as foreign and as "mysterious" as any other Middle Eastern country. This is defenitly negative publicity for Turkey because many (most?) Americans will accept what they in front of them as a variation of the "truth" or "reality".

Why they did not choose Iraq or Afganistan? Because they are occupied by American forces and soon......they will be civilized. McDonalds will pop up in every corner to feed the masses and Starbucks will calm the barbarians.

Ignorant Hollywood, they rape everything, history, geography, politics, morale and ethics and now Turkish names.

Proposal. Lets make a Greek-Turkish production were WE present our version of US!
How they are going to like that?

ROFL...excactly how they liked that... WE made an common Forum... :lol:

THEY DIDNT LIKED at all... :lol: :D

It's called Hollywood. Where truth is fiction and fiction is reality.

The 4th season will air on CNBC-E in Turkey, starting with the 2-hour episode on Sunday, March 26th.
