Don't you think Jack Bauer is tired of working 24 hour shifts?

Seriously, I can't understand why he keeps doing it! I'd want to quit after just one or two. :|

About as tired as Mulder was seeing that UFO and Scully not believing him for what, 7 years?

Not just 24 hours, but 24 hours without food or bathroom breaks. :o

I'm pretty sure secret agents don't work on shifts. They know they're working all the time when they apply for the job.

Maybe he is a robot... I can't go without food or going to the bathroom. It's not natural.

no, he is a fictional character

He should have a talk with his union.

He's loyal to the mission. He'll do whatever it takes. He doesn't mind risking his life. What he does mind is risking the life of others and Renee Walker pushed his limitations in tonight's episode. It was a really good episode though.Genetic_Code

Not really. I mean, sure he works a 24-hour shift, but then he gets the rest of the year off.

As much as I love 24 and Jack Bauer I want this to be it for Jack I think 24 could live on with someone else but its starting to lose its luster and draw as its harder each time to believe that Jack is always placed in these ****ty situations.

But at least so far this season has been entertaining and Walker is great playing the damaged character she has become.

I think he must be on a major sugar rush.ExpiredGhost

He's a well trained ex solider. He's doesn't stop until he gets things done. I'm pretty sure some of our military troops out in Iraq have had many times where they didn't sleep for more than 24 hours. i love the show BTW.

nah.. it's only 1 24 hour shift every once in a while. it's not like it's every daycomp_atkins

Shhh! He'll hear you! :(

[QUOTE="comp_atkins"]nah.. it's only 1 24 hour shift every once in a while. it's not like it's every dayxaos

I'm pretty sure that his 24 hour shifts only happen when the terrorists strike...and each season has been pretty spaced apart, except for the recent seasons.

This show has been stretched out for like 10 years throughout the series. He's only had eight 24 hour shifts...

Last night'sepisode was great. I love Renee's new attitude it's giving a really different spin on things. For once Jack's not the one who's dancing on the fine line.

Well you're taking my statement the wrong way without understanding what was meant. Ofcouse anyone can stay up for 24 hours without sleeping, but have you had to stay up for 24 hours while being involved in shoot outs, car chases, chasing after people, explosions, being held captive and beaten , running back and fourth from point a to point b just go back to point a, and talking to idiots all day trying to convince them about certain situations? I'm pretty sure your average person including myself would be exhausted and want to quit within the first 2-3 hours.

[QUOTE="bigblunt537"]

[QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"] everybody can go 24 hrs(and a lot more,btw) without sleep,especially when you're busy(and yes w/o almost any bathroom breaks or food). there's no training for it.grape_of_wrath

I'm pretty sure your average person including myself would be exhausted and want to quit within the first 2-3 hours.

But aren't soldiers trained to take on physically and mentally demanding over long periods of time? Wouldn't that come into hand considering a regular person most likely has never had such training? I went through a day that was crazy and it was VERY physically and mentally demanding and by the 27th hour I was completely knocked out for 2 days and what I went through probably doesn't even scratch what Jack is going through in his day. Maybe I'm wrong you claim to be military if so I'd imagine you'd have more experience with this than I do.
