02.20 | The Patriarch/Matriarch theory

Anyone else noticed the two themes behind the two seasons of '24'?

Season One - Missing Fathers

  • The Bauer family was missing their father (through work)

  • The Palmer family were missing their father (through work)

  • The Drazen family were missing their father (through imprisonment)

  • Jamey Farrell was a single mother with a missing husband

    • Season Two - Missing Mothers

  • The Bauer family is missing a mother (through death)

  • The Palmer family is missing a mother (through separation)

  • The Warner family is missing a mother (through death - though maybe they'll wheel her out for the wedding, eh?)

  • Kyle Farrell is missing a mother (Jamey Farrell died in the last series)

    • So, if Kyle Farrell was the 'small child' of the last series (even though he was unseen), is it safe to assume than Megan Matheson (this series' small child) also ends up motherless? And with a father like Gary Matheson, it wouldn't be a surprise if he eventually ends up killing his wife, would it?

    Wow, I was saying the same thing to my dad. Mothers never seem to last long on the show.
