The 10 Most Awesome Things Jack Bauer has ever done.

[Trekker4747]

In no paticular order:

1. Stricken with grief over the presumed death of his daughter Jack loads up two guns, rams a truck into the hideout of the terrorists and kills all of them single-handedly taking only a shot to the arm for his troubles. He does this all after not having but a moment of sleep for close to two days. This was so awesome even George Mason had to remark on its badassery.

2. Needing an informant's death to help him get back undercover quikcly Jack whips out his gun and shoots the informant three before taking the guy's head off with hacksaw.

3. Jack kicked heroin. In just a few hours.

4. Jack's heart stopped, was restarted, and all he suffered from it was a few palptations periodicaly over the course of the rest of the day.

5. Needing more time, as he always does, Jack robbed a convience store in the interest of national security.

6. After spending nearly two years in a Chinese prison, Jack simply shrugged it off and let the experience just put another chink in his armor made of unobtainum.

7. Jack cut off his partner's hand -in the name of national security.

8. Jack raided a compound filled with terrorists, on his own and saved the SecOfDef.

9. Without emotion or regret, talked his daugther into comitting murder. (Granted, in self-defense.)

10. Jack has taken on the President of the United States. And won.

11. Jack has made a consistently good and entertaining show since the end of the first season and hasn't become a complete parody of what he was.

No, wait...that one's a lie. Carry on.

 

[Mr Light]

1. Sawing off the witness' head. 2. Ordering his girlfriend's ex-husband to die in surgery to save the life of a terrorist turncoat. 3. Walking Stupid Kim through murder over the phone. 4. Chopping off Chase's hand.

The unquestioned #1: Driving his Ford Explorer at an average rate of 587 mph on LA freeways. During rush hour.

#2 with a hacksaw: Being able to even remotely keep pace with Marwan's amazing precognitive plotting despite being a normal, non-superpowered human being.

#3: Torturing a sitting President was pretty awesome, you gotta admit.

That reminds me, has Faran Tahir ever appeared on this show?

11.Instantly finding a parking space in every corner of Washington, DC at nearly every hour of the day---a skill that has been virtually impossible to obtain for the last 60 years.

12. Never once thrown his Murse on the floor, had a tantrum and yelled, "For Christ's sake! Am I the ONLY ONE who can do ANYTHING around here?!?!"

 

[FreezeC77]

I really wish he had killed that guy last season with the bulldozer because then death by bulldozer could be on the list.

 

[Hermiod]

In season six he marched in to Abu Fayed's hideout with just a pistol and took out all of Fayed's men.

By the time he got to Fayed, he'd run out of bullets so what did he do ? He threw the damned gun at him, fought him hand to hand and then hanged him with a chain.

 

[Mallet]

Executed his innocent boss by taking him out to a train yard and shooting him in the back of the head then dumping the body for the terrorists to take away.

Murse = Man-purse? Hadn't heard that one before.

Well, that's my #4

#4 - Wears a man-purse and makes it look kinda macho.

 

[Mr Light]

Ah could I forget about executing Chappelle! That was so hilariously awesomely over the top. Not to mention executing Nina in cold blood I *love* Season Three

I like to call it Jack Bauer's Bag of Holding.

I'm going to have to tell my hubby about that one.

There aren't many guys who can really pull off the Murse look, but Jack Bauer is one of the them.

I'm happy to say: I have NO idea what you're talking about!

^ You know that satchel/man purse scene from The Hangover? No one makes fun of Jack Bauer for having one.

 

[Trekker4747]

Further, in D&D (the roleplaying game) a "Bag of Holding" is a normal-sized bag that's also a portal to extra-dimensional space that can hold far more contents and objects than the bag's physical size. It's a TARDIS bag.

 

[Tiberius Jim]

You're all wrong. Jack's bag is known and Jack's Attack Sack.

The Hangover is held up in Netflix Long-Wait Hell! So sadly my comparison of man-purses must wait...
