That's hardly the only thing to be concerned with. How about these:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(mind you, I LOVE 24 and have been watching it religiously since S1 episode 3. This all comes from love. If you like, I can do a posting of the -good- things!!)
- No CTU perimeter has ever secured anything
- He needs it *NOW!* (drink!)
- 24 is realtime my ass.
- CTU is the least secure place on the planet
- Did Jack ever recharge his cellphone?
- After a one year hiatus from CTU, Jack still had memorized every password for every situation. "Override the yada-yada: password niner-charlie-falcon-zero" Good memory!
- Any injury to Jack, no matter how severe, is forgotten about in two episodes
- Nobody yawns, and there are no relief shifts
- Tonight I will dream about Nina and Mandy taking me hostage. Mmmm....
- I can hardly log into my co-worker's PC with his password written down in front of me, CTU does pretty well (1) instantly uploading the camera feeds from some god forsaken gas station in the middle of nowhere, (2) forwarding calls/videos from anything to anything, (3) Knowing how to navigate any computer system at a moment's notice without a manual
- CTU's computer is better than the Bat Computer and no lead is to thin to hang the entire plot on: "He drank water you say? Cross reference everything about water in the computer with everything related to humans",
get the idea)
- "The design of the chip on the boyfriend's computer was for a nuclear missle football override!" Huh? 'Central computer chip design lookup database'? Wha?
- CTU likes the Patriot Act
- Did Cheng really have to start conducting his investigation at 3am? Would it really have been so bad to say to him "Feel free to come in first thing tomorrow morning, of course assuming a nuclear bomb hasn't gone off".
- Cheng finds out a helicopter is leaving CTU and is able to: (1) know where it is going right down to the *exact landing location*, (2) get there *ahead of the helicopter itself*, (3) and take the CTU agents captive.
- 24 is realtime my ass.
- "Infra-Red Satellites" are able at a moment's notice to determine how many people are walking around, in real time, any building, on any floor, and yet are not able to pick up a missile over the course of hours??
- Its not "Logan's Administration", he's just filling in until the President recovers in a day or two (hey, Jack recovered from his plane crash the same hour!)
- Regardless of the urgency, people always feel free to talk s.l.o.w.l.y. and somehow have the time in advance to whip up computerized video presentations to compliment whatever they're saying.
Good: "(bursting in) Sir, the woman you're about to give immunity to was the one who tried to kill Palmer!".
Bad: "I'm sorry to interrupt", "No, please, come in, how are your kids?", "Fine sir, little Timmy is trying out for the school play", "That's great, give my love to Mary". "Will do. Sirs, I have information you might want to know..."
- I'm a little tired of all trails going stone cold with the suspect being murdered only to have the trail start again from some silly event like someone using the wrong credit card somewhere in the midwest (and CTU picking it up instantly), or someone's girlfriend calling CTU to rat out her boyfriend, or someone uses someone's cell phone, and so on. That's the writers cheating on us. Look, they have 7 months until Season Five, START WRITING!!!!
- You're right, why'd Tony have to take his shirt off? [Note from kkysiu: Yes, other than showing his chest for the female fans, he needed to swap clothes with that guy Mandy shot]
- Mandy was meeting up with Marwan on the helicopter because why? Because she, uh, I don't know. Was involved. Somehow. More so than the others. I guess.
- Stop reusing actors from other shows. That was Ross' girlfriend Charlie. I don't want to be reminded of Ross, ever. The Amnesty lawyer was Charlotte's boyfriend from Sex and the City. Find new people!
- Except for Milo from S1, who apparently was also on Alias. Milo rocked and was a belivable computer expert. Bring him back. And Chase.
- A gentleman never torture's a man in front of his wife, especially if you're shtupping her
- 24 and daughters do not mix. Chase's daughter. Jack's daughter. The head of CTU's daughter. All trouble.
- Chloe, please, save it
- There really is nothing left for any future season. Space aliens? Asteroid?
I better stop and go to bed.....

- S3: Kim is an idiot. Yet after some courses she's as good a computer expert as Chloe
- S3, Why did Jack cut off Chase's hand to get the case off him if he only was going to drop it into a fishtank anyway? Couldn't Chase have just held it in there himself? Oh right, there were ducks in the way (/batman reference off)
- S3: Tony, who last season got shot in the neck the first time in the field just walking into a mall, did pretty well this season for someone rusty drinking beers on his couch that morning
