Sorry Jack...no, the other one

If you would have asked me a month ago what was the greatest TV show to ever be viewed by the human eye, I would have started telling you about these people that were in this plane crash and ended up on this island in the middle of no where...and there's this hatch...and these numbers...and polar bears...

But the thing is, that was before I was introduced to the crazy freakin' hard-A that IS Jack Bauer. Yes Jack Shepherd, I remember how you pounded on Charlie's chest like a maniac until he started breathing again and I am well aware of the surgery you performed on your future wife so that she could dance at her wedding. And don't get me wrong, that's awesome. Like really really good. BUT have you ever cut off your partners hand for the purpose of saving your country from a biological terrorist attack? Or have you ever become addicted to herroin just to get close to a major drug lord for the purpose of...again...saving your country? Or how 'bout this one Shepherd, ever had to shoot your boss in the head for the purpose of...yep you guessed it...securing the safety of your country? See Shepherd its not that you're not cool, its just that this Bauer dude is caraaazy! And when I say crazy, I mean totally LOCO!! So no hard feelings Jack??

Can ya tell I'm pumped about the prospect of beginning season four of "24" tonite?

but has jack bauer ever been the leader of a completely new society and than had to protect that new society from completely unknown and unidentifiable foes while trying to make sure that Sawyer isn't making too much time with his girl? just something to think about :)...

Why don't you show yourself anonymous? Are you scared? Do you want to remain "the other"? Because we know how Jack Bauer would freaking take care of the "the others" nonetheless just one "other".

Point proven... I think so.

it was an accident. when the computers are in spanish sometimes you don't get the instructions and end up publishing anonymously. What you feel like you need to attack the anonymous because your jack bauer is overly jumpy and suspicious??? huh? huh? HUH?...

why am i even in the conversation? i know nothing about jack bauer and Sawyer is the one I love :)...

That's just the thing anonymous person, Jack Bauer IS protecting a society from completely unknown and unidentifiable foes half the time. He has a more carnal instinct than any "lost" member, and would probably take out the "others", or "crazy black smoke", or "talking trees", or "polar bears", or any other weird mechanism on the island by a sheer glance of his intense face.....and yes, possibly a gun or extreme torture.
