The following takes place between 1 thing and 24 things. Events do not occur in real time.
1:00 Jack Bauer. A dangerous man to know.
2:00 President David Palmer.
3:00 Watching it on DVD - How do people stand waiting a whole week for each episode? I can barely wait a couple of days for each DVD.
4:00 Absolute absurd situations that make me say, "Come on!" It's fantastic.
5:00 Character elimination.
6:00 Jack's courage and ability to get things accomplished.
7:00 True allies' faith in and loyalty to Jack.
8:00 How quickly the tables turn - Plot twists that don't take seasons to resolve (ahem, Lost).
9:00 Torture (and not just interrogation) - It's nice to see on TV.
10:00 Kim Bauer's ability to get into trouble.
11:00 The rotating cast, including familiar faces now on Lost, Prison Break, and most recently Heroes and Ugly Betty.
12:00 Traitors and traders - We all want something for something.
13:00 Kim Bauer's boyfriends/love interests get treated like crap.
14:00 Information retrieval time at CTU is inversely related to urgency. The more important the information, the longer it takes.
15:00 Nina Meyers and George Mason are married. (Okay, so Sarah Clarke and Xander Berkeley are married.)
16:00 Wicked women. They can be more badass than the guys.
17:00 Framing boxes - Let's see what everyone's up to.
18:00 Cell phones.
19:00 The jam-packed day - You can get a lot done when you don't eat, sleep, or go to the bathroom.
20:00 Real time. Not really (time added during commercials). Fake real time.
21:00 Nearly every episode ends in a cliffhanger - Apparently, extreme things happen on the hour, every hour.
22:00 The ticking clock - beep Beep beep Beep beep Beep.
23:00 The man behind the man behind the man behind the man - It's a conspiracy theorist's wet dream.
24:00 Kiefer Sutherland.

Jen, I just realized the significance of your blogger name. I just thought it was a play on your Korean name the whole time! But, in fact its a combo of your Korean and last name isn't it! You're so clever!
PS: I love how you bullet pointed your reasons for 24 as though you were reading a military 24 hour clock! Fabulous.
