24	comment	Spoilers ahoy! Read at your own risk. You Have Been Warned.The following takes place between 2001 and 2017. Events occur in real time.24 is an American action drama TV series created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran for FOX and starring Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, agent for a Government Agency of Fiction tasked with stopping domestic terrorism, during some very bad days. Each season of the series takes place in Real Time over the course of a 24-hour period (each episode is one hour out of that day), during which Jack is called into service to Race Against the Clock and stop a terrorist threat.The first season revolved around an assassination plot on presidential candidate David Palmer. Jack's wife and daughter are kidnapped to make him assassinate Palmer on the terrorists' behalf; the only link the two of them have was a covert wetworks operation in Sarajevo, which turns out to be the motivation for the day's plots.Each season afterwards revolved around a large-scale terrorist threat to a major city, usually backed up by a Crazy-Prepared Big Bad, a well-thought-out Evil Plan, and, sometimes, a Diabolical Mastermind, typically revealed during a Wham Episode. Threats included nuclear bombs, a bio-weapon, a nerve agent, and more nuclear bombs, with some presidential assassinations along the way. All in a day's work, eh?The series is shot in strict real time, and covers a full 24 hours, though approximately six of them take place during various commercial breaks, which are also used to elide travel or handle logistics like meal breaks, naps and visits to the toilet. It uses of a lot of Split Screen to get multiple angles on the same action, never employs Slow Motion, and displays ticking digital clocks as book-ends to commercial breaks and at various times during each act; these factors contribute to the sense that events are moving at a breakneck pace. It follows not only the adventures of Jack and other field agents, but also political intrigue centering around the elected officials who give Jack orders back at CTU, often straight up to the President of the United States.The series leans heavily into Grey-and-Gray Morality. Jack may have Chronic Hero Syndrome, but he's also an Unscrupulous Hero, the Trope Namer for the "Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique," and a Broken Ace from season after season of "I Did What I Had to Do" chaos. While the villains are unquestionably bad people, Even Evil Has Loved Ones... and Jack is always willing to use them as leverage against those villains in true Cowboy Cop fashion.24 can be seen as a throwback to earlier works: a Dirty Harry for the War on Terror, or even a Republic Serial for the 21st century. It is also jokingly referred to as "the Jack Bauer Torture Hour", or "the Jack Bauer Power Hour". Try to guess why. On top of that, the series isn't scared of Gut Punches and Anyone Can Die, to an extent that was only equaled when Game of Thrones took to the airwaves.The series' plot involved three major Myth Arcs played out over the course of three installments each. The first revolved around the life and times of President David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert), who is elected after the first season ends but resigns in the third; it also deals with Jack's Back Story, having participated in a clandestine operation in Kosovo (authorized by then-Senator Palmer) that Went Horribly Wrong and resulted in the creation of the Big Bads for two separate seasons. During Season 5, 24: The Game was released and using major cast members for both likeness and voices, took place between Seasons 2 and 3. Season 4 attempted to be a Soft Reboot, discarding basically every pre-existing (and still-living) character except Jack, but ultimately failed and wrote most of them back in; nonetheless, Audrey Raines (Kim Raver), Jack's new Love Interest, remains central to the arc. The villain, Cheng Zhi (Tzi Ma), is obsessed with arresting Jack for crimes committed on Chinese soil. This arc included Season 5, which blew the series wide open by starting with the assassination of several beloved characters (including former President Palmer) and chasing a conspiracy that ended up with the one villain the show had never had before: a genuine President Evil in President Charles Logan (Gregory Itzin). The final arc shifts away from Los Angeles, where the previous six had taken place, and includes the Made-for-TV Movie, Redemption, aired during the Hollywood Writers' Strike of 2007/8 and acting as set-up for the remaining two seasons. These concern President Allison Taylor (Cherry Jones) and Jack's affiliation with Distaff Counterpart FBI agent Renee Walker (Annie Wersching). The movie takes place in "Sangala", the seventh season in Washington DC, and the eighth in NYC. The final season, already known to be the show's last, heightens the tension by having Jack go from "I Did What I Had to Do"-style Anti-Hero to full-blown Roaring Rampage of Revenge. By this time, it had already managed to take the title of "Longest-Running Spy Show, by episode count" away from Mission: Impossible, which had held the title since 1973.The Movie, hinted at as early as Season 5, was scheduled to begin shooting in spring 2012, but died at the hands of budgeting issues. Instead, it returned as a 12-episode mini-series called 24: Live Another Day (although the subtitle doesn't appear on screen), which took place in London and aired from May to July 2014. It involved the return of much of the central cast and crew.In January 2016, the show was slated for another return. Fox ordered a pilot for a Sequel Series called 24: Legacy. It takes place in the same continuity as the original show and features one returning cast member. Sutherland returned on the other side of the camera, as executive producer, but the character of Jack Bauer did not appear. Legacy premiered following the Super Bowl on February 5, 2017, and finished its first season on April 17. But in June of the same year, Fox announced that it was also to be Legacy's only season, as they cancelled the show, though the channel would at the same time state that they were still looking into creating another incarnation of the series.Anil Kapoor has driven forward an effort to create a Hindi-language remake of the show, also entitled 24. Kapoor plays the main character, Jai Singh Rathod. The show aired on the Indian network Colors from October 4th, 2013 to October 9th, 2016.A Japanese remake aired in Japan from October 9, 2020 to March 26, 2021 via TV Asahi, starring Toshiaki Karasawa as Jack's equivalent, Genba Shidou.

24 / int_1439161f	comment	Heroic BSoD: Jack, mostly: after being told Kim is dead in Season 1, and the Manly Tears at the end of Season 3. Jack after Teri's death is pretty much the show's defining moment of this trope. He's like this for most of season 2; even after finally going back into action to stop the bomb, he still has a Death Seeker attitude for a good chunk of it. Michelle has one when she thinks Tony has been killed at the end of Season 4. Jack has a major one when he was forced to kill Curtis in season 6. In the same season, Morris has one after he's forced by Fayed to arm his suitcase nukes. Cole has a minor one after learning that Jack used him, murdered Dana Walsh in cold blood, and actually did want to assassinate the conspirators behind Hassan's murder instead of just exposing them. Audrey Raines has one after she is subjected to liquid copper torture for nearly two years between seasons 5 and 6 when she is held by Big Bad Cheng Zhi as leverage for a nuclear weapon circuit. Not only are the injections incredibly painful, they also destroys her mind, ultimately leaving her in a catatonic state. Miraculously, she seems to have recovered completely by Live Another Day...although Word of God says it took quite a few years and a lot of psychiatric care. In season 7, Renee has two minor ones: the first when she fails to save Dubaku's innocent girlfriend after promising she would protect her, and the second upon discovering Larry Moss' murder. In Live Another Day when Kate tells Jack Audrey is dead. Jack puts down his rifle and pulls out a handgun, and the look on his face makes it very clear what he was about two seconds from doing.

President Hassan and Renee Walker are killed within the space of two episodes, Jack and President Taylor both commit their own Faceâ€“Heel Turn, leaving Chloe the only "good guy" trying to do the right thing and stop Jack's Roaring Rampage of Revenge before he starts a world war. Day 9 is overall more cynical from the beginning, with Chloe taking on a darker personality as a result of her family's death, Heller is slowly losing his mind to Alzheimers, and one of the most evil villains the series has seen to date, culminating in arguably the biggest Downer Ending of the series. While the series was always dark, the turning point of the series was season 5, with the deaths of David Palmer and Michelle Dessler, 2 of the most noble and idealistic

This is completely flipped on its head during the final arc when Jack goes rogue and effectively becomes an outright antagonist for his revenge trip against the Russians (and Logan) rather than his usual Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right! reasons. In this case, despite the fact that Jack is still treated as the protagonist, we're actually supposed to be moreso rooting for CTU (or at least the main cast trio of Chloe, Cole, and Arlo Glass) at this point over Jack.

And then, when she's a signature away from becoming a truly unredeemable character, she backs out and begins the process of making amends.

Not even twenty seconds after he agrees to help the good guys, he gets shot. Later in that very same episode, Farhad Hassan grows a conscience (sort of) and agrees to help CTU. And then he's shot in the back in the next episode. In the series finale, Jason Pillar realizes that he and Charles Logan are cornered, and Pillar attempts to convince his boss that it would be best to come clean and help President Taylor find Jack and call off the hit on him. What does he get in return? Logan whacks him in the back of the head and proceeds to shoot him dead before attempting suicide, therefore taking the information to their graves. Particularly galling as the previous episode had Pillar tearfully confess that he had a daughter he wanted to return to.

24 / int_1645005b	type	Evil Versus Evil
24 / int_1645005b	comment	Evil Versus Evil: Used in several seasons, but the final season spins a surprising take on this trope by pitting Fallen Heroes Jack and President Taylor against one another. If Taylor gets what she wants, her peace treaty will succeed, but the motives behind President Hassasn's assassination will be covered up because of it and the injustice will be allowed to go on. If Jack gets what he wants, the conspiracy behind Hassan's death is exposed, but he'll also kill all those responsible, which includes several members of the Russian government, particularly its president, which would lead to worldwide war. Neither outcome is all that good. Cole's "there are no good guys" line late in the season pretty much sums up the current status of the show: Jack nor Taylor is really a "hero" at this point anymore. In fact, Cole and Chloe are essentially the only real characters really resembling heroes now, as they're attempting to go with the preferable solution to expose the conspiracy and not just instantly take the role of judge, jury, and executioner into their hands like Jack is now doing. Their efforts do in fact eventually lead both Jack and Taylor to see the light by the end (see Heel Realization below), although at this point both have arguably crossed a line that can never be undone.

24 / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: When it's revealed in Season 3 that the Cordilla virus has been modified to make its incubation period just one hour instead of the 14 hours it originally was, everyone acts as if this makes it a much bigger threat. If anything, this would actually make it less dangerous, since infected people would present symptoms much sooner and thereby be easier to quarantine, and also wouldn't be able to travel as far before the virus killed them, thereby limiting how much it could spread.note For perspective, even if someone were infected right before boarding a plane at Los Angeles airport, the furthest they could realistically travel before becoming symptomatic would be Las Vegas, therefore meaning the outbreak would likely be contained within the south-west United States (and maybe northern Mexico); in 14 hours one could easily travel from LAX to parts of Asia, Oceania, and even western Europe, meaning it would become a global pandemic with the potential to wipe out a major chunk of the human race.

24 / int_1dacdb4f	comment	Senseless Sacrifice: A running theme in season 8. Sergei Bazhaev mercy kills his son who was dying of radiation poisoning. He eventually gets arrested, loses the nuclear fuel rods and his other son dies. A young CTU agent named Owen runs out into the middle of a firefight to rescue a wounded CTU agent. As he dragged the man back to safety, both of them are shot. Fatally. Which sucks, because Owen wouldn't have sacrificed himself if the other agent wasn't stupid. However, Jack lies to Owen and says he saved him, so at least he died believing he performed a Heroic Sacrifice. A covert operation to kidnap President Hassan and deliver him to the terrorists to prevent the detonation of a dirty bomb results in massive casualties. He gives himself up to the remaining kidnapper. The two men who concocted this scheme are shocked to believe Hassan would have given up willingly if they just asked. Hassan's death was for nothing as it turns out the peace treaty he was trying to sign was built on a lie and his own widow turns his country against the West again.

24 / int_21d70919	type	Crapsack World
24 / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: Ostensibly set in the real world at that. Terrorist attacks are commonplace (to the point small organizations are capable of enacting attacks they should not be able to enact, and put their hands in Weapons Of Mass Destruction they most definitely should not be able to obtain), and the government has allowed intense interrogations (many times inefficient) of guilty, or sometimes even innocent people, and for government agencies to have the ability to spy on every American, in an attempt to prevent said terrorist attacks, and is only successful sometimes. Almost every Authority Figure is either corrupt, or on the verge of becoming one, no matter how idyllic they are at the start, or is well intentioned but misguided (save David Palmer, who manages to come mostly unscatted). The only thing that usually stands between millions of deaths is one federal agent, and the people helping him (and most of the times they have to do things unofficially, against the government's laws and structures, undercover, or outright illegally). They also live in a world in which, to save innocent lives, they have to do horrible things to get results (be it torture, threatening, murdering terrorist/criminals by the hundreds/thousands, putting innocent/civilians lives in danger, obtaining information illegally, breaking every possible law, sometimes brokering deals with terrorists to catch other bigger threats). And again, these people are the only line between the terrorists and hundreds of thousands/millions of dead people. Most of the people who do this are profoundly miserable, and those are just the ones that manage to survive (and some of those are either broken or end up much darker than before). The institutions are either inefficient, or outright corrupt and intentionally abetting the terrorist (if they aren't the terrorist themselves). Corporation are usually bankrolling attacks for their own profit (one of those is a cabal of 13 different American military businessman, one of them the leader of the biggest private army in the world). And things never seem to get better. Since the start of the show, only David Palmer has been able to finish his tenure as president (and he was deposed by Jim Prescott for some hours, reinstated, and then suffered an attempt on his life, so Prescott had to step up again, until he received an attempt on his life and Palmer took over again until the end of the mandate). And there was an attempt on his life. John Keeler (elected) was deposed because of the attack on the Air Force One 15 months into his tenure. Logan (unelected) assumed, was forced to resign 18 months after. Hal Gardner (unelected) finished the mandate. Wayne Palmer (elected) lasted only 3 months before falling into a coma (after suffering an attempt against his life), and Noah Daniels finished his mandate. Then he was beaten by Allison Taylor, who had to resing halfway through her mandate, so Mitchel Hayworth had to finish. Then James Heller, who eventually resigns because of Alzheimer, and someone takes his place. In total, there have been 10 acting presidents during the series, from which only 1 managed to end his mandate, and 5 of them were acting presidents. 5 had attempts on their life while in mandate (2 of them died while in term, the other after), two were brought down by corruption and served prison terms (in Logan's case, domiciliary arrest, and then attempted suicide). All this approximately during a period of 22 years. So, all and all, it is frankly a miracle US still exists more or less the same, or that the federal government manages to function at all. Since the start of the series, 2 nuclear bombs have been detonated in the US (1 in the desert, other in LA, killing 13k+ people) with 4 failed attempts, plus the nuclear meltdown of a plant (50K+ deaths) which was part of an attempt to melt down every single nuclear plant in the US, one virus attack with close to 1000 victims, a nervous gas attack that was part of a failed conspiracy involving the president of the US and a group of businessmen, the Air Force One shot down, the White House was taken by a paramilitary command lead by a renegade tyrant, a Prion attack staged by American military corporations (whom also collaborated in a genocide), sabotage and cover ups by the Chinese and the Russians, or by intelligence agencies or a determined branch or group of people in the government, 3/4 occasions in which the world almost ended up in World War III, with countries being severely trigger happy between each other...and these are just the major incidents (and 6 seasons occur in the same city). 9/11 also happened in 24. So one can only try to imagine what the world would look like if any of these happened in real life. Add this to the above listed...The political, economical, social, psychological, and whatever consequences of all this would be catastrophic. Until season 4, things remained relatively "realistic", and the world of 24 was more of a World Half Full/World Half Empty. The attacks in season 1 (save the plane bombing) were low-key and part of a personal revenge. The nuclear attack in season 2 definitely scarred people's psyches, to the point of almost reaching world war III. And season 3 happened 3 years after, and the virus attack was relatively contained. Plus, it was all during the tenure of the same president, who was well loved, admired, and respected by the US. And it was at the height of the War on Terror, so, while pushing it, it still respected certain things, and you could imagine it was a rough period, but the US people managed to pull through it. Characters had to do brutal things, and while tragedies occurred, there usually was a silver lining of hope, and some things did get better. But in season 4 things get out of hand. The consequences of those attack (nuclear meltdown with 50k+ dead, the destruction of the Air Force One, plus another attempt of a nuclear attack) would be far bigger than anything shown. Then season 5 happens, which, despite season 4, manages to keep things still relatively realistic...But then, after season 5, you cannot pretend 24 resembles the real world. Not to mention everything seems to go bad for the main characters, and for many many more.

This is to say nothing of how often Jack will blatantly violate the rules in order to achieve the justice he believes in; often carried out based on flimsy or questionable leads. Jack has even attacked federal agents, military personnel, you name it, in order to achieve his goals — even including the President of the United States, Charles Logan in season 5. Invariably, Jack is almost always given a clean slate once all is said in done, despite how unhinged all of this behavior would look to the establishment. However this is finally averted come season 8, where Jack's methods finally go too far and he ends up a permanent fugitive.

He typically requires little more than half an hour of recovery time before he's shooting terrorists again. In Season 8, it takes him only ten minutes to shake off a stab to the stomach. In Season 7, Jack was infected by a prion based on Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, a condition for which there was apparently no cure. And then it turned out that a family member's stem cells might provide a cure after all, and Kim Bauer returned shortly thereafter.

Nina Myers, who kills Jack's wife at the end of Season 1 and unexpectedly pops up in the following two seasons to make his life hell. From Season 5 onward, President Charles Logan, a deceptively cunning Manipulative Bastard who eventually comes to hate Jack just as much as Jack hates him. Of all the villains, he comes the closest to be the Big Bad of the show. Cheng Zhi. He already does a good job of getting on Jack's bad side by personally capturing and torturing him for two years in China (and similarly doing the same to Audrey when she comes looking for him). By Live Another Day, Cheng cements this status when he orchestrates Audrey's death and attempts to provoke a war between China and the US. In their final confrontation, Jack finishes him off with all of the vindictiveness that he'd inflicted on the Drazens back in Season 1. For one season villains, or villains who did not appear much but have a strong influence in the show, or an important relation with Jack, we have: Victor Drazen (whose actions kickstarted the show, so to say), Stephen Saunders (Who was involved in the mission to kill Drazen, and comes back to take revenge from the US), Christopher Henderson (Jack's mentor and one of the men Jack ousted for corruption, who becomes a key member of the Sentox conspiracy), and Jack's own brother and father.

24 / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: Season 1 suggests that Palmer (then a senator) and Bauer came to know each other when the latter headed up a Senate subcommittee that Bauer's unit did operations for. In real life the military is exclusively under the authority of the executive branch; a Senate subcommittee might be keeping a close eye on such a unit but can't in any way tell them what to do. One plot point in Season 2 features a coup against President Palmer, attempting to invoke the Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, to remove him from office by declaring him unfit to serve. The show makes it seem like it's a matter of a simple majority vote by the Cabinet, and the President is tossed out on his ear. In Real Life, the situation is far more complex. For one, the request to remove the President has to be submitted in writing to Congress, and the President is allowed to submit his own opinion on the matter. And long deliberations would likely ensue. The 25th Amendment, or at least Section 4, has never actually been invoked, so it's hard to say exactly what the process would look like. But it would undoubtedly take days, maybe weeks, and not a couple hours like on the show. Furthermore, the show seems to suggest that the 25th Amendment would permanently remove President Palmer from office, when in real life, the 25th Amendment only lasts until the President is declared fit to serve again.

24 / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion: A fake passport for Nina Myers in Season 3 is under the name "Sarah Berkeley" — Sarah Clarke's married name (she married fellow cast member Xander Berkeley, who played George Mason). A subtle one is when Jack bites into a terrorist's neck, using his teeth. Gee, when was the last time he could do something like that? Paul McCrane's characters tend to die painful onscreen deaths. Guess what happens to Graem Bauer? Trip's wife is carrying twins, and they're kicking. She's lucky it's not triplets. The final two episodes of Season 8 are pretty much one giant one for Kiefer Sutherland's role in Phone Booth. Much like the Caller, Jack is smugly trailing a sniper rifle over a character while giving him directions over the phone. Before Rami Malek tried to stop a terror attack by the Dark Army on Mr. Robot which would cause deaths of thousands in an explosion, he portrayed a suicide bomber who was part of another terror attack by the Kamistani splinter cell in Season 8 so that he could avenge his father. Not to mention the fact that Jack even referenced his addiction to morphine on the show. Unfortunately, both he and Jack fail to stop the terror attacks from happening. The first episode of Season 9 isn't the first time in 2014 that Kiefer Sutherland had to infiltrate a CIA black site to rescue a female former ally from imprisonment and torture, as anyone who's played Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will know. Anyone who watches Game of Thrones knows that Michelle Fairley isn't unfamiliar with one of her sons being thrown out the window. Not to mention, watching her son die just before she does. Finally, it serves as a major moment of catharsis for people who prefer the original books to the TV show. Fairley's character, Catelyn Stark, is murdered in the infamous "Red Wedding"...

24 / int_416a2a0d	comment	Torture Always Works: Trope exemplar, but actually Zig-Zagged in practice. Jack Bauer and CTU seem to be under the impression that torture is more effective than it really is, when in fact even in-universe torture has a pretty high rate of failure, and often has negative consequences when it is used. In Day 2, Jack himself is captured and tortured (not for the last time), and the villains try to get him to give up the information they want, with the lead Torture Technician even getting exacerbated by how long it is taking. He tells Jack that they both know "everyone has a breaking point" and it would be easier on everyone if he just tells them now, but Jack still doesn't break, and he escapes shortly afterwards anyway. In Day 3, Nina Myers is captured by Jack and tortured by CTU for what she knows. She manages to resist, and when left alone manages to escape, with Jack tracking her down and opting just to shoot her dead instead. In Day 4, three innocent people- Agent Sarah Gavin, Secretary Heller's son, and Audrey's ex-husband Paul Raines- were tortured needlessly because they were either wrongly accused, were afraid to admit something private, or truly had no idea what was going on. In all three cases, actual physical evidence ended up saving the day. In all three cases, relationships were undermined if not outright ruined since the people torturing them were friends or family, or associates thereof. In Day 5, Audrey Raines herself is tortured, having been framed by the villains for selling building schematics to terrorists. The specific villain who had her framed and suggested she be tortured turned out to be ex-agent Christopher Henderson, and his motive was revenge because Jack had tortured him earlier in the season- he was guilty of the crimes he was accused of, but he didn't break either. In Day 6, Jack has been a captive of the Chinese for over a year and has been repeatedly tortured for information...with no success whatsoever. He is released as part of a deal that sees him being handed over a terrorist who wants revenge for Jack killing his brother- the terrorist also tortures Jack, but this one is justified since he isn't after information at all, and only wants Jack to suffer. Later that same Day, Jack tortures his own brother Graem when he finds out his company was robbed of weapons of mass destruction and he was trying to cover it up, with mixed results. Graem admits to being behind the assassination of David Palmer as well as numerous attempts on Jacks own life, but that wasn't what Jack was asking for- Graem only admitted to that to shock Jack enough to stop the torture, and is murdered by their also-evil father before he reveals anything else. In Day 8, Jack spends the entire final act of the episode torturing an agent, only to realize that the agent Took A Third Option which will require a different response. Even more notable is how the torture here is far more brutal than usual, even by Jack's standards, and yet the guy doesn't break. In Live Another Day, CIA officer Kate Morgan, undercover as a CIA officer with a different mission, immediately spills everything about the fake mission while hiding what they're really up to. Other characters have been tortured without admitting anything. The only time torture achieves something, Naveed's wife is tortured to force him to comply with the terrorists' demands.

24 / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Season 1 has several noticeable differences compared to the rest of the series: Every episode opens with the narration and caption "The following takes place between (time) and (time plus one hour), on the day of the California presidential primary", which in later seasons would be cut down to just "The following takes place between (time) and (time plus one hour)". There aren't any "Previously on 24" recap sequences, just Jack delivering a short narration summing up the general plot of the season and concluding with "I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer, and today is the longest day of my life." Jack, despite having largely the same personality that he'll have for the rest of the show's run, is a Happily Married family man, something that would be brutally undone in the season finale. He also starts out as the Special Agent in Charge of CTU before being replaced temporarily by Alberta Green and then permanently by George Mason; in future seasons (except for Season 3, the only other one where he's in the full employ of CTU again) he's usually just a civilian who's working with CTU or the other appropriate authorities for the purposes of foiling a terrorist plot. The season's overall tone is much gritter and more low-key, and the main threat is just to the life of one man, namely David Palmer. Remaining seasons would at the very least have a whole city under threat, if not the entire country. The show's creators were still finding their feet with the "real time" gimmick, resulting in several instances where they're clearly still writing with a more conventional narrative structure in mind; for instance, one episode has Alberta Green seemingly teleport instantly from her office to the holding cell where Jack's being held. Several plot twists relating to the true motives of several of the characters don't play out until mid-late season, meaning that Nina Myers and Sherry Palmer start out as seemingly good characters, and conversely, Tony Almeida and George Mason appear to be antagonistic characters at first. The identity of the incumbent President of the United States is not stated, the only season aside from Legacy where this is the case. Chloe O'Brian is nowhere to be found; in fact, she doesn't show up until Season 3.

In season 7, Tony pulls a Face Hell Turn and ends up in prison. Chloe O'Brian. By the end of season 7, she's remarried to Morris, she has a child named Prescott, and she's helped the FBI avert multiple terrorist attacks. However, in Live Another Day, it's revealed that Morris and Prescott were killed in a car crash, and she wound up joining a radical organization that leaked several documents and secrets from the American government. And by the end of the season, her whole organization has been destroyed, and her new boyfriend is dead. Chase Edmunds. Despite having his hand hacked off at the end of season 3, he developed a stable relationship with Kim and planned on raising Angela with her. They broke up between season 4 and season 5. And when he reappears in the novel Deadline, he's killed by a biker. Audrey Raines. In Live Another Day, we find out that Audrey has been restored to full health, she's happily married, and her father is now president. She even reunites with Jack and tries to patch up her relationship with him. Despite everything she's managed to recover from after being tortured between season 5 and 6, it's all rendered moot when she's killed by a stray bullet in the finale. James Heller. After season 6, he, along with Mark Boudreau, succeeded in helping restore Audrey's mental health, and Heller even became president. But in Live Another Day, it's revealed he has Alzheimer's Disease, several civilians are killed in England by his country's drones, he decides to resign because of his mental health, and his daughter dies in the finale. And of course, Jack Bauer. Between season 7 and 8, Jack was nursed back to health thanks to Kim, and he finally started bonding with Kim's family again. Then season 8 comes along, and Jack is forced to spend his life on the run after he kills several Russian diplomats responsible for murdering Renee Walker. Live Another Day only worsens this, as he not only loses Audrey too, but he also surrenders himself to the Russian government.

24 / int_53f5119f	comment	Technically, Christopher Henderson was The Dragon to Charles Logan and his co-conspirators, playing a role in organizing David Palmer's and Michelle Dessler's deaths. A sniper named Haas was the one who shot Palmer; it is unknown who planted the car bomb that killed Michelle. Logan worked with Graem, as shown in Seasons 5 and 6, and it is implied he is working with others with a lot of power. This is then shown in Redemption and Season 7, with Private Military Companies being involved, and finally, Alan Wilson being revealed as one of the leaders of the overall conspiracy. Almost all the characters involved have various reasons for their involvement. If you watch Seasons 5 and 6, as well as Redemption and Season 7, and treat it as a Story Arc, you can see this (convoluted) plot play out. Additionally, Season 4 can be seen as having prequel elements to this whole Story Arc, since the events of Season 4 lead to Logan coming into power, allowing the whole arc to play out.

24 / int_54bb502b	comment	Nobody Poops: Lip service is paid to averting this in the early seasons, with scattered occasional references to characters needing to use the bathroom. Along with the narrative requirement that the events of the season take place in a particular 24-hour period, it's gone in later years. Dirty agents and agents wishing to work unseen often use toilet stalls for privacy, even in later seasons. The bathrooms are populated in those scenes by background characters who have (presumably) just used the facilities.

However, this being a show where Anyone Can Die, not every child is safe: In Season 5, Amy Martin is last seen screaming as Christopher Henderson makes an unexpected visit. Granted, what happens next is not actually shown, but considering that Henderson's just spent the last 40 minutes tracking her and her mom down, and is shooting EMTs just for being in the way... In Redemption, at least one African child is shown being gunned down by the People's Freedom Army. Live Another Day reveals that Chloe's son, Prescott, was killed in a hit-and-run accident some time after the events of Season 8. Also, right from Season 1, being pregnant didn't keep Teri from being killed by Nina.

At the end of season two, President David Palmer has possibly just been assassinated. When the season three finale came along, everyone was expecting something big. What happens in the final moments? Jack breaks down crying. ...woah. The last clock of the series. Kim's arc. It looks like she's about to get kidnapped (again) by a crazy mountain man. Instead, he felt guilty about taking advantage of her and lets her go. The endings of "Day Three: 9am - 10am" and "Day Five: 12am - 1am." Normally, episodes close out with a final split screen showing all the major characters, followed by one last meaningful scene (often involving some sort of twist). The aforementioned two episodes, however, end immediately after their final split screens. Bill Buchanan's death. Most people saw it coming, even without the previews showing the explosion, but they never expected it to happen within the first ten minutes of the episode.

24 / int_59907e4f	comment	Police Are Useless: The show often emphasizes how ordinary police officers and even the guards at CTU itself are not immune to being overpowered by external/internal enemies. Several times have SWAT Teams been outdone or escaped (examples of characters who have accomplished this are Stephen Saunders, Arthur Rabens, Abu Fayed, Marwan repeatedly — and even Michael Amador who slaughtered via ambush an entire Delta Foce team. In one instance in Day 8, a lone baddie with a pistol manages to take out an entire NYPD ESU entry team. Granted he was an elite secret agent, but still. It's rather common in the series that security guards in the CTU building are easily bypassed. Jack in Season Two when taking Kate to Wallace, Tony taking Jane to Stephen in Season Three and even the treason-convicted Nina Myers being able to almost escape the building (only stopped by Jack) during Seasons 1 and 3 Police officers are often making the jobs of the protagonists harder due to misunderstandings.

They befriended each other outside of work ("work") and she doesn't know he's a terrorist, meaning there's no need to clean up loose ends. No, the reason he asks her to flee the country is because, evidently, he genuinely cares for her. Subverted with the Day 1 finale. Also Subverted in season 8. Poor Renee... Deconstructed in Day 3 with the kidnapping of Tony Almeida's wife. His decision to throw pretty much everything out the window in order to save Michelle is 100% emotionally understandable... but it's also morally indefensible, and when the season ends, he's facing treason charges and prison time.

Having said that, it depicts liberals, from President David Palmer (the only character explicitly identified as a Democrat) to Senator Blaine Mayer, as reasonable and sympathetic characters who (usually) don't stray into Strawman Political or Author Tract territory. Though it does become an issue in Live Another Day, as it seems like a large part of why the show was brought back was to make a No Celebrities Were Harmed strawman of Julian Assange who actively helps terrorists. The number of former Star Trek (particularly Enterprise) actors who appeared on the show dramatically increased since Brannon Braga and Manny Coto joined on as executive producers. Peter Weller in particular has appeared in four Coto-produced shows (Odyssey 5, Enterprise, 24, and Dexter). Tony Almeida is frequently seen drinking out of a Chicago Cubs mug because the actor, Carlos Bernard, is a huge fan of the team.

Day 3: Ramon Salazar and Michael Amador Day 4: Omar and Navi Araz. Day 5: James Nathanson, Anton Beresch and Walt Cummings. Averted in Day 6: Abu Fayed remains the primary threat from Episode 1 to Episode 17 (although at one point it becomes a Big Bad Duumvirate with Dmitri Gredenko). After Fayed's defeat, the story moves on to a separate group of villains and a mostly unrelated threat. Downplayed for Day 7: IkÃ© Dubaku starts as out as the main villain in the first part of the season, but the prequel, Redemption, clearly established both Benjamin Juma as his higher-up and Jonas Hodges as Juma's ally. Day 8: Davros, soon followed by Sergei Bazhaev and Farhad Hassan. Averted in Day 9 (Live Another Day): Margot Al-Harazi shows up two episodes in and remains the Big Bad for the majority of the season. After her death, a different group of villains take over the plot, albeit using the same override device that Margot was using. Day 10 (Legacy): Jadalla is the Big Bad for most of the season, until he is killed by Eric two episodes before the finale. The real villain is Ibrahim, who was thought to be dead for most of the season.

Though it does become an issue in Live Another Day, as it seems like a large part of why the show was brought back was to make a No Celebrities Were Harmed strawman of Julian Assange who actively helps terrorists.

24 / int_7286e96d	comment	The CTU in general holds the Idiot Ball a lot of the time... In Day 1, a major subplot centers around finding the mole in the organization and bringing them to justice. The stupid part is, that in Episode 2, they uncover conclusive evidence that Nina Myers is the mole, and everyone is instructed to not reveal any vital information while she's present. A few hours later, the CTU appears to have completely forgotten who the mole is, but they still suspect that there is a mole. Somehow, everyone is surprised when Nina Myers betrays Jack and his family at the end of the day, despite having learned that she couldn't be trusted about 20 hours earlier! The CTU has, on average, AT LEAST some mole per season. For a government agency working to fight terrorists, they sure don't do a good job of vetting the people they hire. Despite having moles in the organization all the time, and in spite of the classified work they do, NOBODY has apparently bought or installing surveillance microphones in the CTU Headquarters, much less in the bathrooms. Every time someone working in the CTU-HQ is talking on the phone, if they have something to hide, they will be having the phone call in the CTU's bathrooms. No exceptions.

24 / int_76c31ac8	comment	Stranger Behind the Mask: Starting around season five, the show set up a huge conspiracy with who was behind the events that carried over for that day, and partly leaked over to season six as well. Come the second half (and especially the last third) of season seven, the conspiracy is played out once again, and assumed to be reaching its endgame, come the season seven finale. Finally, the viewers watch rogue agent Tony Almeida get to The Man Behind the Man, and made some rather nasty decisions to reach him. So when we see the guy, it's... Alan Wilson, someone the viewers never spotted at any point or have any connection to, whatsoever. What made this twist even more jarring is that during this very season, the writers introduced Jonas Hodges, a much more engaging and charismatic villain who could've been a worthy choice to be the conspiracy leader. But instead, we have this.

24 / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: Happened quite often, as characters would be introduced in semi-important roles only to vanish without explanation. After Season 4, this was often referred to as being "Behroozed". The writers made a bad habit of this since season four. Behrooz's disappearance started the trend, but no example was as egregious as the President of the United States in season 4 after Air Force One got shot down in the middle of the season. His status was left up in the air, but since Charles Logan replaced him in season 5, he's either dead or incapacitated. Frustratingly enough, this happened again with season 6's POTUS Wayne Palmer after he unsafely gets pulled out of a coma, only to collapse hours later, and get replaced by VP Daniels. After season 6's brief subplot with the Logan clan, both Charles and Martha Logan's statuses were left in the air. Logan nearly died from getting stabbed, but returned in season 8 while Martha was alluded to have attempted or committed suicide, but her fate was still left hanging. It seems as if the writers prefer to leave characters out of commission without quite declaring them dead, so they can be brought back at anytime, but the ambiguity got irritating after a while. And yet again with Simone Al-Harazi in Day 9. Happens In-Universe in Season 7. American Private Military Contractors are attempting to kidnap the Prime Minister of Bulungi. He and his wife hide in a saferoom, and all of their Praetorian Guard are killed except one.

24 / int_89434320	comment	Protagonist-Centered Morality: It is very hard to rise a moral dilemma when Jack is practically always right, and the universe seems to bend to make him be in the right. Anything can get thrown out of the window because of Jack. Given the narrative of the show defends the "ends justify the means" mentality, and Jack is the living incarnation of that idea, he will be defended, regardless of how realistic or credible it might be. The only moment the narrative truly turns against Jack is at the end of season 8, where he loses it. Most of the time, it is with him. There are points in which Jack commits mistakes, but still. To the benefit of the show, it does show how miserable and broken as a person Jack is. And it does not defend the supposed 'I did the best for the country's interests' from conspirators and people in power, like Logan, etc.

24 / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: A lot of things that are Common Knowledge about the show were not like that at the beginning. To be fair, the show sometimes jumps from a point to another that ends up being a sort of Decon-Recon Switch: The torture in the first three seasons is far more nuanced, and — as a matter of fact — ineffective. Most information is obtained through outsmarting, threatening, scaring, deceiving, or negotiating with the interrogated people. Meanwhile, Jack kills someone by accident, and himself is tortured to death in season 2 without saying anything (he gets better). But even when torture started becoming more commonplace in season 4, it was still presented as mostly ineffective, and three (four if counting Behrooz) innocents are tortured through the season. Similar things happen in season 5. If anything, the people who usually break during torture are the villanous bureaucreats, or cowardly greedy sell-outs. Most of the villains do not break nor can be coerced by torture or pain. Word of God is that the show was never pro-torture and more a meditation on the "I Did What I Had to Do" mentality (although the writers said too a story is a story, and there isn't necessarily a message). Jack was not an invincible badass. Usually, he had to rely more in his wits and his ability to outsmart and deceive his enemies, and he also committed mistakes; and in combat he was, if anything, a Fragile Speedster — though this fits thematically into a world where the most omnipresent and driving force is, in fact, the passage of time. The world centering around Jack. The first season was justified, in that the entire plot was a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against him and David Palmer. In season 2, he was a Spanner in the Works. But after that, Jack always ends up saving the world, and when not, the world ends up spinning around him anyway. Sort of subverted in seasons 7 and 8, where he is in the first sort of sidelined, and then ends up being one of the villains. The "terrorists" in the first seasons were more nuanced and operated on a smaller scale. The first season was actually about Serbian warlords looking for revenge against Jack and David Palmer. The villains of the second season, Muslim terrorists who wanted to detonate a nuke in LA, were merely the Disc-One Final Boss to the NSA and the oil barons (who actually betrayed each other). Season 3's villain is an ex-British operative with a deadly virus, being more over the top. But in season 4 the villain (who also is Muslim, and mind you, 9-11 did happen here) becomes almost invincible and capable of anything. In season 5, while the villains were powerful (a President Evil), the conspiracy they created goes to hell in the span of a day. But then, in season 6, the Muslim terrorist again are unstoppable, and the Chinese having an operative wreacking havoc (not to mention Jack's family), and all almost ending in World War 3. Season 7 has a big cabal of businessmen, from whom the leader had a hand in season 5, and it just becomes ridiculous. Season 8 waffles a bit from side to side. And season 9 almost ends up with almost another world war 3.

Starkwood from Day 7 is a private military company owned by Jonas Hodges, who gave weapons to African Terrorists in exchange for a biological weapon. The bioweapon to be used to force the United States to give responsibility of the national security of the country to Starkwood and other private military companies, thus (in Hodges' eyes) "saving" America. Alan Wilson is, like Hodges, a private military executive who, on Day 7, used bioweapons in terrorist plots against America â€” unlike Hodges, however, Wilson is a sociopath involved in the aforementioned Sentox conspiracy who manipulates world politics for profit.

A bizarre case is during the first half of the 2-Hour Finale to Season Six, where James Morrison is uncredited after being written out a few episodes earlier, but appears before the episode's credits even begin rolling. In a non-surprise appearance example, Harris Yulin was uncredited throughout all of Season 2, as he personally wanted his name to be credited on its own and not share the space with any other actor's name. When this was denied for him, he then asked to not receive any credit for his appearances. William Devane does not appear in the opening credits of Live Another Day 9x09 because the previous episode's cliffhanger showed him (supposedly) being blown to bits at Wembley Stadium. His name is the first to appear in the closing credits, though. Averted in episode 10 of Live Another Day with Tzi Ma - his name is listed in the opening credits, albeit after the usual cast so it's possible that viewers (including this troper's whole family) missed it.

This, combined with Chloe's What the Hell, Hero? speech to him, likely contributed greatly to his quick Heelâ€“Face Turn early on in the finale.

24 / int_959cb9aa	comment	One Degree of Separation: Day 9 has an awful lot of unlikely connections happening in London. Before the day's events take place, Jack and Chloe were both in London for different reasons (the former working for Karl Rask, the latter working with Open Cell). Even better, the two only meet up because Chloe happens to be affiliated with one of the season's minor villains. The President is James Heller, who's in London with his daughter Audrey. True, Jack only involves himself in the story because Heller is President, but it's still a big coincidence that Jack, Chloe, and Heller/Audrey are all in London under different circumstances. Another possible example is the business relationship between Karl Rask and Margot Al-Harazi; given that Jack didn't learn of Margot's involvement until the season's third episode, this association between his boss and the Big Bad seems very coincidental. A feasible explanation is that Jack was able to discover the terrorist threat because of his work with Rask, but if so, it's never stated. Steve Navarro and Adrian Cross are in cahoots. Cheng Zhi shows up as the season's final Big Bad, and later turns out to be working with Anatol Stolnavich, who also happens to be involved in the subplot regarding Jack's extradition to Russia.

While he maintains his weakness, he shows more compassion and trust in Bauer in the first half of season 5... until he's revealed as the Big Bad of the season. He makes yet another turn in season 6 when he selflessly helps Bauer find Grendenko and helps defuse an international incident with the Russians before he's stabbed by his ex-wife.

24 / int_984ef9ef	comment	"Not So Different" Remark: Graem tries to claim to be the same as Jack, although his actions tell a much different story. Jack is kind of a magnet for these given his tendency to break the rules. Season 7 has two; first an organization that hires disaffected soldiers as mercs, then Hodges, who tries to say that both he and Jack are being punished by the government for serving their country. Season 8 throws a couple of these too. A disillusioned Cole states that Jack and Pillar are nothing but the same, and even Pillar later tells Jack that he's as much a murderer as the ones he goes after.

For example, on Day 4, attorney Paul Raines and two teenage store clerks, under Jack's command, manage to hold off an elite, well-trained, and far better-armed commando unit. Henry Taylor single-handedly not only found out his son truly didn't kill himself, but who his murderer was. Even after he was poisoned with a drug that paralyzed him from the neck down, he managed to fight off the toxin and strangle his son's killer to death with his bare hands.

By the time a season is over, it's not uncommon to have seen him bleed from the mouth, forehead, or arm at least once. Here's some of the worst ones. If this doesn't prove how much of a badass Bauer is, then nothing will: Day 1: Grazing bullet wound to the gut. Overall, it's one of the more minor ones on this list. Also had to contend with Nina after this. Day 2: Survives a plane crash in the first half of the season. Is later captured and tortured to death. He got better. Day 5: Ribs cracked during his fight with assassin Hank. In the fifth episode. Day 6: More torture (at the start of the season no less). Later on, Jack gets cracked ribs. Day 7: Infected by a biological weapon. Quite possibly the worst one. Day 8: Superficial knife wound early in the season. Serious stab wound in the final hours. Didn't seem too bad at first, but as Jack walks away from the wall he's leaning on, there is a very serious bloodstain on the wall. Shot in the season finale, and even survives a serious car wreck before the end.

24 / int_9fe35833	comment	Possibly justified since Jack may have been bluffing. In Season 8, Jack threatens a terrorist that if the radiological device goes off, he'll escort his mother to the detonation site, claiming that she'll absorb a lethal dose of Cs-137 in five seconds, in order to keep him from killing himself to preserve the mission. The problem? There's no way for Cs-137 levels to be high enough to give a lethal dose in five seconds, and certainly not in open air. Also, if it were possible to do that, the agonizing death would cease to be agonizing simply by hanging around for a full minute, at which point enough radiation would be absorbed to destroy the central nervous system — two weeks of vomiting your guts out becomes twenty minutes of delirium followed by slipping into a coma and never waking up.

24 / int_a07afea2	comment	Random Events Plot: Season 4. Oh, dear God, season 4. Try to keep up: The terrorists derail a train to steal a briefcase, then abduct the Secretary of Defense and plan to execute him live on the internet, but it's really a Trojan Horse to get viral programming code to spread across the web and use the mysterious briefcase to override every nuclear power plant in the US and cause them to melt down. Once that's averted, it's revealed the defense contractor that built the Override may be complicit in the day's events and hire mercenaries to kill Jack Bauer, who's investigating them. So far, fairly coherent. Then things go awry. The defense contractor subplot is dropped as quickly as it's introduced in favor of a series of increasingly ludicrous and convoluted terror attacks. It turns out the nuclear power plant meltdowns were just to keep Air Force 1 in the air so a mercenary can steal a jet fighter and shoot it down. Not content with murdering the leader of the free world, that turns out to be a play for recovering the nuclear football from the crash site, which terrorist leader Habib Marwan then uses to locate a nuclear warhead in transit in the mountains of Iowa, which he then installs in a missile assembled in someone's garage, and then uses to try and nuke Los Angeles. Which would have happened anyway if he'd succeeded in melting down every nuclear power plant. And all the while, Marwan evades capture from CTU no less than four times. And this plot isn't even the focus! Mostly it's happening in the background while CTU bickers like children and are preoccupied with out-of-nowhere subplots like the legal crisis over mercenary Joe Prado, the sudden return of recurring baddie Mandy, or Jack Bauer's raid on the Chinese Consulate. Whew. Are you exhausted yet?

Its agents and support staff are frequently either blackmailed, let personal issues get in the way of handling a major crisis, or turn out to be The Mole (sometimes there are several operating at once — other times innocent people are easily framed, even tortured for "confessions"); Jack himself has fallen victim to the first two failings several times. It has also been attacked on multiple occasions, including by biological and chemical weapons they were supposed to be hunting down. But its worst record is the numerous terrorist attacks that happen on its watch, and especially the fact that they often find out only hours before they are scheduled to take place. Several are successful, including a couple of small-scale nuclear attacks, nerve gas attacks, biological terrorism, and numerous high-level assassinations. The rest are thwarted only at the last minute, and often with lots of casualties. It's a miracle that there is a state left to defend.

The mosque has a separate area for women to pray which is true for many mosques, but those mosques usually have a separate entranceway for the males and females and have a more opaque divider than just a shade if the female section is beside or behind the male section (or a two way mirror, where the reflective portion would be facing the male section so the men can't see into the female section). Also, when she enters she gets chastised by a male mosque congregant for being "late" to prayer after she takes off her shoes. Any Muslim can join the iqamah (group prayer) in the middle and make up the rakats (movements) themselves after the congregation finishes theirs (for example, if the congregation prays 1 out of 4 rakats before you join the prayer, after you and the congregation finishes those 3 remaining rakats, you individually continue on prayer with the one you missed). Not only that, but that male (the "Greeter") should be at prayer at the moment and not talking to a veiled female in the mosque with suspicion as if he's a security guard!

The show makes it seem like it's a matter of a simple majority vote by the Cabinet, and the President is tossed out on his ear. In Real Life, the situation is far more complex. For one, the request to remove the President has to be submitted in writing to Congress, and the President is allowed to submit his own opinion on the matter. And long deliberations would likely ensue. The 25th Amendment, or at least Section 4, has never actually been invoked, so it's hard to say exactly what the process would look like. But it would undoubtedly take days, maybe weeks, and not a couple hours like on the show. Furthermore, the show seems to suggest that the 25th Amendment would permanently remove President Palmer from office, when in real life, the 25th Amendment only lasts until the President is declared fit to serve again.

If George had been really exposed to levels of radiation high enough to kill him that quicklynote (And bear in mind that he "only" breathed in some plutonium dust; for perspective, dozens of plant workers at Chernobyl in the aftermath of the disaster spent hours exposed to far higher levels of radiation than George would likely have been, and the soonest it took any of them to die — not counting two who were killed outright in the explosion — was two weeks), then he would have been incapacitated immediately and been in no fit state to run CTU, much less accurately pilot a plane. The nuclear meltdown plot in Season 4 simply wouldn't be possible in the way depicted in the show; even if the override device had completely taken over control of the plants' computers, all that the engineers would have to do would be to physically disconnect the power to the control rod mechanisms, at which point gravity would cause the rods to fall back into the reactor, leading to the reaction being stopped. It's true that the fuel rods continue giving off extreme levels of heat for some time afterwards, and if the systems that were responsible for removing this heat remained shut off, then there would still be a nuclear disaster (indeed, this is exactly what happened in the real-life Fukushima Daiichi disaster in 2011); however, it would take a day or so for the reactor to get to that point, rather than a couple of hours as seen in the show, meaning that Jack would have had a lot more time to stop the terrorists. Possibly justified since Jack may have been bluffing. In Season 8, Jack threatens a terrorist that if the radiological device goes off, he'll escort his mother to the detonation site, claiming that she'll absorb a lethal dose of Cs-137 in five seconds, in order to keep him from killing himself to preserve the mission. The problem? There's no way for Cs-137 levels to be high enough to give a lethal dose in five seconds, and certainly not in open air. Also, if it were possible to do that, the agonizing death would cease to be agonizing simply by hanging around for a full minute, at which point enough radiation would be absorbed to destroy the central nervous system — two weeks of vomiting your guts out becomes twenty minutes of delirium followed by slipping into a coma and never waking up.

Sadly, it fails for many reasons. Season 7 finish with Jack achieving a certain level of peace and forgiveness with himself, his actions, and his many maaaaaaany regrets (with the help of an Iman no less), and even managing to reconcile with his daughter, closing a long standing arc that was there since the beginning. In many ways, the series could have ended there, had he lived or died not really mattering that much.....only to be completely ruined with seasons 8 and 9, which almost destroy any chance Jack might have of having a relatively happy life.

Furthermore, the peace treaty never got signed, and even if it did, the signing would've caused never-ending animosity between the United States and Kamistan (24's Pakistan Expy). No matter what Jack did, this ensured the terrorists' victory. Along with that, Suvarov got away with everything he did, despite his followers winding up dead.

24 / int_aed65980	comment	All for Nothing: Sadly, it happens quite a few times. It becomes frustratingly recurrent the fact almost everything positive doesn't manage to stick. Teri goes through hell in season 1...and when things seem to start getting better, she is killed by Nina. Jack managed to recover certain normality at the end of seasons 2...and then, in season 3, he is a heroin addict, and has blown up his improvements. David Palmer's whole mess in season 3 sort of amounted to nothing, given he decides to stand down from seeking re-election. At the very least, he did manage to pass his health bill. Many of the villains's plot usually amount to nothing, except killing a lot of people and inflicting destruction and damage (unless that is the intended outcome). Season 8 is a good example of this. At the end, it was all for practically nothing. Hassan dies anyway, the peace treaty ends up broken, Taylor committed politically irreparable mistakes (which pointlessly cost her the presidency and her career), Jack has lost all the good gained in the previous season, ends up a fugitive of both the US and Russia (although him and Taylor, despite their mistakes, do manage to at least get personal redemption by backing out at the last minute, and avoiding potentially worst outcomes), and Chloe is arrested (alongside Cole and Arlo). The only silver linings are that, perhaps, the Russians will be exposed, Suvarov's government will come down, the IRK extremists have been relatively purged (and they won't be able to make a nuclear weapon. Ironically, they are the only ones who mostly got what they wanted), and Charles Logan is "finally" out of the picture for good.

Same goes for Senator Blaine Mayer, who, after seeming like he's about to change from Bauer's greatest political enemy to his most powerful ally, gets killed by an assassin seconds later. And Larry Moss from Season Seven, who got killed off just as he was starting to get the hang of working with Jack. Lynn McGill seemed to have his turnaround extremely quickly (when he recognized Jack's outdated duress code), only for his pride to get nearly half of CTU killed.

The 24 Wiki has a chart for how many times "damn it" is said on an episode-by-episode basis. Oh, and there's a video of every damn it too, damn it. "We're running out of time!"/"There's no time!" "Sonofabitch!" "I'm sorry but you're going to have to trust me!" "Do it, DO IT NOW!" "Right now you don't have a choice." "Alright?" "Where's the X?" or "Tell me where the X is!" "Who are you working for?!" "What are you talking about?" "How did this happen?". President Taylor's dialogue consists of pretty much nothing but this line for the first half of Season 8. "Right now he/she/it is our only lead." Jack wants you to "PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD AND INTERLOCK YOUR FINGERS!" "I give you my word." Jack likes to say things in his normal voice, THEN SAY IT AGAIN IN A LOUDER VOICE! ("Was Air Force One just hit? WAS AIR FORCE ONE JUST HIT!!!") Sherry Palmer: "Let me help you." This is nearly always an Oh, Crap! moment, at least for the audience. "We're in the middle of an international crisis!" "Chloe, I need you to do something for me". Tony's particular inflection of the word "Yeah". "Move!" "Copy that." "Set up a perimeter." Every single time Jack puts another character in a sleeper hold (which is quite a bit), it's always followed up with him saying "Don't fight it."

Jack also counts here; since the Chinese got him first, he he had to go through twenty months of torture like Audrey did before he was released. And he never said anything while he was there, so he was useless to the Chinese.

24 / int_b17f6a27	comment	I Did What I Had to Do: word-for-word from Jack's mouth several times, which is part of the reason some people view him as a Well-Intentioned Extremist Anti-Hero or Sociopathic Hero. He gets away with it due to: being right most of the time; being the Chaotic Good Only Sane Man (as opposed to the Manipulative Bastard bad guys and Lawful Stupid good guys); being fully aware that all this Dirty Business makes him a bad person; and copious infusions of Rule of Cool / Mundane Made Awesome. The presidents (Palmer and Taylor especially) are portrayed as fighting constantly to not take the easy way out; to them, the ends do not justify the means. (The ones who do think that way are inevitably portrayed as villainous.) Confusingly, we're meant to perceive them as being just as heroic as Jack is, despite making the opposite decision he usually does. Taylor changes her mind after a chat with Charles Logan. In a lesser extent, David Palmer also applies. In season three, he hired Sherry Palmer to take care of Alan Milliken when he threatened to pull financial support for David's re-election, because [brother] Wayne Palmer slept with Milliken's wife, Julia. Granted, he probably didn't expect Sherry to basically kill him by not giving him his medication, but after what she did to David in the first two seasons, what exactly did he expect? More importantly, during season four, he signed off on the undercover operation to capture a Chinese consolate, which ended with another Chinese representative killed by friendly fire. Although Palmer and Jack knew the risks of the operation, they went through with it anyway to save LA from Marwan. Palmer's statement to Charles Logan when he panicked over the idea? "Sometimes, we got to get our hands dirty to do what needs to be done." It seems Logan took that to heart...Nice Job breaking it, David.

24 / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon: The show seems to keep changing its mind as to who was responsible for the deaths of David Palmer and Michelle Dessler. In Season 5, Christopher Henderson claims responsibility. Then in Season 6, Graem Bauer claims it was his idea (though he may have been making it up to unsettle Jack). And in Season 7, it suddenly becomes Alan Wilson who was responsible for the deaths. Technically, Christopher Henderson was The Dragon to Charles Logan and his co-conspirators, playing a role in organizing David Palmer's and Michelle Dessler's deaths. A sniper named Haas was the one who shot Palmer; it is unknown who planted the car bomb that killed Michelle. Logan worked with Graem, as shown in Seasons 5 and 6, and it is implied he is working with others with a lot of power. This is then shown in Redemption and Season 7, with Private Military Companies being involved, and finally, Alan Wilson being revealed as one of the leaders of the overall conspiracy. Almost all the characters involved have various reasons for their involvement. If you watch Seasons 5 and 6, as well as Redemption and Season 7, and treat it as a Story Arc, you can see this (convoluted) plot play out. Additionally, Season 4 can be seen as having prequel elements to this whole Story Arc, since the events of Season 4 lead to Logan coming into power, allowing the whole arc to play out.

24 / int_b901ef97	comment	Forgotten Fallen Friend: Repeatedly and consistently averted. Major characters who die are repeatedly mentioned after their deaths, and many get Manly Tears, Heroic BSODs, and a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. The death of Teri Bauer is what ultimately casts a haunting shadow over all of Jack's actions for every season following the first one. In the first season finale, when Jack calls Nina out for the crimes she committed, he specifically cites Richard Walsh, Jamey Farrell, and Robert Ellis as friends and co-workers who suffered because of her actions. Thrown into Jack's face a few times. Specifically, in Season 7, Larry Moss points out that people who hang around Jack tend not to survive, mentioning Teri Bauer, Ryan Chappelle, and Curtis Manning as proof. Though this falls a bit flat, as Ryan's death was commanded specifically by the President himself under orders from Stephen Saunders and would've likely been forced to occur whether Jack was present or not, and Curtis died because he was unwilling to listen to a direct order from Jack, instead letting his personal motives interfere with CTU's primary objective. Regardless, it goes to show how the body count is kept in mind well after the deaths occur.

Mayer, with the two men coming to an understanding and agreeing to try playing by each other's rules. ...Just before Mayer is killed for being in the way. The very first scenes of the first episode of Day 8, with Jack enjoying family life with his granddaughter, are just heartbreaking to watch again once you know how that season — and the entire series — ends. Later in Day 8, Jack and Renee have sex for nearly forty minutes and enjoy themselves after a rough night... shortly before a sniper kills Jack's new squeeze. Reza Naiyeer in Season 2. During a pretty rotten afternoon, Reza starts feeling a little better when his ex-fiancÃ©e changes her mind and says she still wants to marry him. Then at the end of that episode, he finds out she's a terrorist, and she kills him. Near the end of "Day 6: 4pm - 5pm," a bound-and-gagged Tom Lennox tries to twist a pressure valve so that he can raise an alarm and warn someone about the bomb. It's just enough to make us think he might succeed in thwarting the assassination attempt... but he doesn't. In the finale of Day 9, Audrey is saved from Cheng's shooter and everything is okay... until a second shooter comes out of nowhere and guns her down. On Day 3: 6AM - 7AM, after receiving Stephen Saunders' demand that Ryan Chappelle be executed, CTU believes they have finally found Saunders' location. Everything seems to be building up to a dramatic capture only for Chase to find the location is a ruse, leaving no option but for Chappelle to be executed.

Season 8 has an assassin named Davros. Of course, he's not nearly as effective as his namesake — but then, he fucked with Jack Bauer. Not to mention the CTU agent named Tom Baker.

In season 7, after Juma takes the White House hostage, Jack attempts to ignite a gas tank that will kill some of the soldiers as well in addition to being enough of a distraction to make Juma drop his guard.

Most information is obtained through outsmarting, threatening, scaring, deceiving, or negotiating with the interrogated people. Meanwhile, Jack kills someone by accident, and himself is tortured to death in season 2 without saying anything (he gets better). But even when torture started becoming more commonplace in season 4, it was still presented as mostly ineffective, and three (four if counting Behrooz) innocents are tortured through the season. Similar things happen in season 5. If anything, the people who usually break during torture are the villanous bureaucreats, or cowardly greedy sell-outs. Most of the villains do not break nor can be coerced by torture or pain. Word of God is that the show was never pro-torture and more a meditation on the "I Did What I Had to Do" mentality (although the writers said too a story is a story, and there isn't necessarily a message).

24 / int_cd83fa5b	type	Spoiler Opening
24 / int_cd83fa5b	comment	Spoiler Opening: Usually averted when a former cast member is going to make a surprise return, but the season five opener had Carlos Bernard (Tony Almeida) returning to the main cast and Reiko Aylesworth (Michelle Dessler) still listed as a guest star. Seeing as how at the end of season four, Tony and Michelle had left CTU to settle down and start a family, seeing only one of them returning to the main cast is a big hint that Michelle doesn't survive the episode. The irony is that Carlos Bernard only appears in six of the 24 episodes in the season and is only awake in four of them (at one point, Jack is falsely told that Tony has woken up, leading to an appearance, and then he appears as a corpse in the episode immediately after he dies), so the return to the main cast is actually rather unwarranted. Also done in the case of the second season: Penny Johnson Jerald (Sherry Palmer) had been missing from several episodes and then returned late in the season during one episode as a surprise cliffhanger. The only problem was that she'd been listed during the opening credits, thus ruining the surprise. Notably, a few other rare times, the series would intentionally omit a main cast member to avert this trope. Season six is guilty of this as well with Cheng Zhi (Tzi Ma) and Phillip Bauer (James Cromwell) having last-minute "surprise" reappearances in two respective episodes, both of which are ruined by listing the actors during the opening credits. In an interesting aversion of the trope, the season's 23rd episode omits James Morrison from the opening credits, despite Bill's return happening before the first commercial break. Live Another Day also has Tzi Ma's name credited at the beginning of its tenth episode, ruining Cheng Zhi's surprise reappearance as the Big Bad over half an hour before he actually shows up.

Strangely enough, many of the terrorist masterminds in the show are also this. Instead of executing their subordinates at the first sign of protesting against their actions, most terrorist leaders stop to think things through when their subordinates remind them of the bigger picture. Abu Fayed decides not to hunt down Jack Bauer in revenge for killing his brother when his subordinate reminds him that they have plans beyond just a single man, and Samir Mehran doesn't try to boost his ego when his subordinate informs them that Omar Hassan isn't going to break under torture to deliver a falsified confession as they wanted, and simply decides to execute him.

24 / int_e303d198	comment	Whole-Plot Reference / Homage: Several of 24's story arcs are highly similar to the British series Spooks, which also aired throughout the 2000s. They include the counter-terrorism team being locked in their office because of a nerve gas threat, the hero teaming up with Alexander Siddig as a potentially-untrustworthy Muslim ally, a plot to crash airplanes together in midair, and a hacker breaking into the traffic light network to cause havoc and blackmail the government (before Live Free or Die Hard as well). There are more similarities, as well, but are just generic enough to be stock war on terror plots, like a season revolving around Iran's — or "Kamistan's" — nuclear program and a subsequent peace deal derailed by terrorism. The first few episodes of Season 5, detailing a plot to bring Jack out of hiding by killing his friends, are very reminiscent of the intro to Commando. Jack's entire character arc in the last third of Season 8 is remarkably similar to the one Willow Rosenberg has in the last few episodes of the sixth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (coincidentally, writer David Fury was an executive producer on both shows and wrote episodes from both arcs). Similarities include them getting a fleeting moment of happiness with their love interest only for the love interest to be shot dead, going on a heartbroken Roaring Rampage of Revenge and brutally torturing and executing the murderer, and eventually winding up in a position to cause The End of the World as We Know It, only to be talked out of it and come back to their senses thanks to their best friend's intervention.

24 / int_e431c24c	comment	The writers made a bad habit of this since season four. Behrooz's disappearance started the trend, but no example was as egregious as the President of the United States in season 4 after Air Force One got shot down in the middle of the season. His status was left up in the air, but since Charles Logan replaced him in season 5, he's either dead or incapacitated. Frustratingly enough, this happened again with season 6's POTUS Wayne Palmer after he unsafely gets pulled out of a coma, only to collapse hours later, and get replaced by VP Daniels. After season 6's brief subplot with the Logan clan, both Charles and Martha Logan's statuses were left in the air. Logan nearly died from getting stabbed, but returned in season 8 while Martha was alluded to have attempted or committed suicide, but her fate was still left hanging. It seems as if the writers prefer to leave characters out of commission without quite declaring them dead, so they can be brought back at anytime, but the ambiguity got irritating after a while.

Followed by how Jack killed Mikhail Novakovich by stabbing him with a fireplace poker and all of his guards in the next episode. It all happened off-camera, but the blood was EVERYWHERE. Season 2 as a whole was really damn violent. The water torture scene that opens up the first episode was sickening, but that was nothing compared to when Big Bad Sayed Ali killed a non-CTU federal agent who helped Kate Warner find out if Reza's a terrorist or not. A. MOOK. USED. A. BUZZSAW. ON. THE. AGENT'S. BACK. Ugh. The viewers who complained about the torture during season 6 must not have been watching 24 that year. Abu Fayed using a drill on Morris in season 6. In season 6, the especially gut-wrenching scene where Asad sticks a knife into a man's kneecap. In season 3, Chase's hand being chopped off to get rid of the virus attached to his wrist. The pain was so intense, Chase passed out after he lost his limb. The fact that this event was foreshadowed to horrifying effect made the act even more agonizing to watch.

Earlier on, Jack Bauer and the rest of the cast confront and arrest conspirators because they disobeyed presidential orders, even though they had a very good reason to do so; this is portrayed as a heinous crime that Jack frowns upon. Later, he does the same damn thing a few episodes later. Season 9 reveals that the CIA is not immune to the phenomenon.

The seasons of the show take place in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and New York City, and the miniseries in Useful Notes/London, all of which are renowned for their density of automotive traffic, but characters never have problems driving where they need to. Since the show covers a full 24 hours, including the dark of night, there are certainly episodes during which this is eminently feasible; but there are also others when it's not. Perhaps more interestingly, the Big Honking Traffic Jam is never used as a dramatic device. Some addresses don't exist, such as "Channing and Fifteenth, Granada Hills" and "Old Mill Road, Valencia".

Jack just barely manages to avert the latter part of this trope in the series finale.

Fortunately, Allison Taylor managed to have a change of heart, and working with Chloe, Cole, and Arlo, save him just seconds before he's executed.

24 / int_fd4f8299	type	Well-Intentioned Extremist
24 / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist The season 7 finale reveals Tony to be one. Renee's thumb-chopping in Season 8 shows her to have become this. Even Jack is shocked. Rob Weiss and General Bruckner commit treason against the U.S. by turning Omar Hassan over to the terrorists in order to get them to disable a bomb that will otherwise be detonated in New York. President Taylor has become this, as her absolute determination to get the peace deal realized makes her cover up evidence of the Russians' role behind the day's events, and authorizing torture on Dana Walsh, even though she could simply write an immunity deal for her. Aaaaaaaand it now comes full circle to Jack Bauer in season 8. He spent the final quarter of the season on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, resulting in the near-assassination of Russian President Suvarov. Fortunately, he came to his senses at Chloe's pleading, before instigating World War Three.

24 / int_ff7f34c5	type	Pet the Dog
24 / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Most villains have at least one Pet Ths Dog moment to show that, while monstrous, they are still human. Mainly in the first seasons. Strangely enough, Sergei Bazhaev gets one after his Kick the Dog moment; after shooting his younger son, who was dying of radiation poisoning, Sergei calls in a priest and asks him to perform quick funeral rites and then have him buried "out back" instead of at a cemetery. When the priest protests, saying it's "not right", Sergei remains adamant on the point, and says, "You just make it right. Say all the prayers. Where I end up, I don't care. But this boy is with the angels."

24 / int_fff371b4	comment	Jack after Teri's death is pretty much the show's defining moment of this trope. He's like this for most of season 2; even after finally going back into action to stop the bomb, he still has a Death Seeker attitude for a good chunk of it.
