There's a few things that bother me about 24. Its a good show, but:
1. Jack never uses the bathroom.
2. He never sleeps.
3. They all travel and get intel way too fast.
4. Its almost all impossible.
5. Things don't work that way.
6. Things really dont work that way.
7. He would be dead. Or at least in a coma, or fast asleep.
8. The country would have been blown up. twice.

Its a great show, yes, I just find it irritatingly unrealistic.

All of those listed aren't a bother to me. . .
What bothers me though, that all of them, and I mean all. . . can memorise 200 digit numbers in an instant!
Jack: "What is the number?!"
CTU: "Jack, the number is 029428334294383284980620823058230582309!"
Jack: "Alright, got it!"
Me: "Lol what?"
What is the secret?! O.O
--------
That he does not sleep is pretty obvious. . . I think we gamers know very well that being awake for 24 hours doesn't take a god.
Second, everyone knows that agents wear dipares!

But yeah, 24 episodes or a whole season would be understandable for no peeing or sleeping, but.. 7-8 seasons? The diaper would get a bit moldy.

You do realize that each crisis (season) is weeks . . . months. . . or years apart?Originally Posted by Jedi Chrkut
How about you use some imagination and imagine that between the seasons. . after saving the world, he takes a shower and a shit?

He goes to the bathroom when people aren't looking. What I like about 24 is that Jack doesn't miss shots unlike all those shows where bullets never hit anybody.
You have to make it into a little saying using the letters each number starts with.

It's a TV show on Fox. It doesn't have to make sense.

1. Jack never uses the bathroom.
You don't see what Jack is doing all the time. So obviously he's peeing then. Why don't they show it? Because that's when we are watching more interesting stuff.
2. He never sleeps.
Staying up for 24 hours straight is not that hard, especially when you're trying to save the world and being shot at and beaten up constantly.
3. They all travel and get intel way too fast.
True.
4. Its almost all impossible.
Welcome to TV.
5. Things don't work that way.
Welcome to TV.
6. Things really dont work that way.
Welcome to TV.
7. He would be dead. Or at least in a coma, or fast asleep.
No, he's Jack Bauer.
8. The country would have been blown up. twice.
Not on Jack bauer's watch.
