Lessons from 24

So I have finished 24, Season 3. I watched the last 12 episodes within the last two days. Now that I am thinking about it, I think Jack Bauer offers some good take home lessons for us all.

1. Always keep your focus on the priority, the bigger picture. He's always willing to make sacrifices, hard ones to be sure, but necessary ones in order to accomplish a greater goal.

2. Remain detached, emotionally. Do not break down and snivel like a 2 yr old until after the crisis has passed.

3. Fatigue is not an option. It doesn't exist.

So I'm writing all this half asleep after crawling out of my afternoon nap. I feel very detached from what I'm writing now. I will say this though, I do feel great respect for Keifer Sutherland for his performance in the final episode. Finally, I see a human side to Jack Bauer. Oh when was the only time he actually grinned like a cheshire cat in this season? It was when he was gloating at Nina. Boy he couldn't contain himself that time.

Yeah I think Jack was crying about his great and noble humanity at the end of the show. What do you think?

Grayson said...

We only say Jack's Humanity because that's the name of the soundtrack for that scene.

On another note, WHY DON'T YOU CALL ME BACK!??!?!?!??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
