Accident-prone '24' is torture for experts

And you thought the Star Trek universe has problems with continuity....

Accident-prone '24' is torture for experts

Federal agent Jack Bauer of Fox's 24 gives new meaning to ''all in a day's work.'' But seriously, how much can one man take?

Within a span of 12 hours, Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) has a wooden stake driven into his thigh during a plane crash, parachutes from another plane, gazes at a Hiroshima-size nuclear explosion, is brutally tortured with electric shocks, dies, is resuscitated and is tortured again.

But this Jack-in-the-Box is up within minutes and assaulting bad guys with three hours left on the Fox thriller (tonight, 9 ET/PT).

By now, Bauer is getting used to this. Only a year and a half earlier, Bauer spent a day being beaten and shot at by conspirators while trying to foil the assassination of a presidential candidate and locate his own wife and their trouble-prone daughter, who had been kidnapped.

in the final episode this year, president palmer tells jack that he is the "one", kate warner tells him she was prophesized to be with him, jack looks up and flies directly upwards, and next year, day three consists of one long 24 episode fight with jet li.....

My Nokia has a 3600 mAh battery that would stand up for hours of continuous use.

Jack is just not your "ordinary" super agent! Reminds me a lot of a character named STEN in a series of SciFi books that I read a long time ago.

Of course for STEN one of "Jacks" days would be considered vacation :)
