24 reasons why i heart 24

There's a 24 sized hole in my life right now. With last Monday marking the season finale of Day 5, yesterday night seemed...well, empty. All this year, Monday nights have meant that 24 (my anti-drug) is before me and entertainment/shock/anxiety/joy is given to me in a healthy, 1 hour dose. But now it looks like I've got to ween myself off of this dependent (at least until I can get Season 3 through blockbuster online).

So for now, here's 24 reasons why ALL seasons of 24 are awesome:

24-The mole in CTU. New season, new mole. Not too safe, for a government agency.
23-Tony's conspicuous Chicago Cubs mug.
22-The threat of nuclear attack.
21-Bill Buchanon. Pretty much the best CTU boss around.
20-Satelite phones, which strangley resemble Zach Morris' phone from Saved by the Bell
19-Explosions.
18-The fact that any time a prisoner/important person/Kim is being transported away from or back to CTU, they will most assuradly be ambushed and involved in a minor car crash.
17-Jack NEVER setting his phone on vibrate. What the heck?
16-David Palmer. He's a swell guy.
15-Speeding cars.
14-Gunfights.
13-Terrorists "getting theirs" in the end.
12-Knowing that a previously unfamiliar CTU agent suddenly showing up in an episode to cover Jack in a gunfight is DEFINITELY about to be shot and killed.
11-Jack's PDA. That junk is just cool.
10-Shootouts (not to be confused with "gunfights").
9-Silly love story moments between anyone on the show.
8-Jack's ability to only speak in whispers or shouts. Think about it.
7-The CTU boss or government agent who makes bad decision after bad decision, not because they are with the bad guys, but just because they are jerks.
6-The apparent lack of said bosses to READ JACK'S RESUME from time to time, thus giving them a reason to take Jack's word once in awhile.
5-Tony stinkin' Almeda. (in whisper voice)"Yeah, Jack, I got it".
4-The Season 2 phrase "I need a hacksaw".
3-Anytime Jack has to get information out of people (which sometimes, if not all the time results in their bodily harm).
2-Chloe O'brien. For her and her "perma-frown", impossible is nothing. She has mad computer hacking skills.
1-Jack Bauer. A.K.A. The Man (but not "the Man" when people say "the Man is keeping me down." The GOOD kind). He IS 24.
