Another bad day

It's strange how every bad day Jack Bauer has goes on for exactly 24 hours. Obviously that's how long most days go on for since a day here on Earth is 24 hours long, almost by definition. But Jack just seems to have bad shit happen to him for 24 hours in a row and then magically clear everything up.

I'm almost hoping that in series 4 everything will be sorted out after 22 hours, and the final two hours will involve Jack:
1. Having a short nap
2. Taking some time out to watch a popular American drama series
3. Smiling at some girls as they walk past his window

I suspect that in fact the last two hours will instead involve Jack:
1. Shouting
2. Shooting his gun
3. Shooting his gun and shouting at the same time

I haven't yet worked out how the terrorists are going to get the Moon to leave its normal orbit and head towards Los Angeles yet, but then I don't expect the script writers have worked it out yet either. Actually, I have no idea what the ultimate aim of the terrorists is at all this year. Maybe it is the Moon thing. It'll have to be the Moon thing one day.

da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Jack, Oooohhhh-oooooohhh
He saved every one of us

Or at least he probably will. Good luck fella.

you'd think after saving the world 3 or 4 times he'd be allowed hit the bar for a few brews or take a nap.

He did get to have a bit of a new-man cry at the end of Series 3. I'm not sure he's smiled yet though.
