24 - Do they not eat or something?

[andylawcc]

oh, I thought you guys are talking about "Lost"

 

[Lorax]

this reminds me of the south park where they get stranded, and within 15 minutes they're eating other people to stay alive. seriously, not eating for 24 hours isn't that hard.

 

[Slvrtg277]

It sure would be much more action packed if 30 minutes of an episode entailed the ordering/cooking and eating of food.

Jack takes a bite.

Michelle takes a bite.

Cloe complains that hers isn't done.

Jack takes a drink of water.

Tony gets pissed that Michelle is sharing her food with someone else.

Edgar eats throughout the entire episode.


Congratulations! You just turned "24" into "The Real World LA"!

If they all had to use the bathroom, the show wouldnt be called 24.

jack DOES Drink water, he's done so on numerous occasions

Also i would think that they would have shifts correct, you can't have really tired people working on sensitive data.

this isn't a standard work day, this is a time of national emergency, and there are no other employees with the skills of chloe or edgar. i'm sure the lower level employees work i nshifts

Can't you avoid the crapper for 24 hours? I thought 24 meant that the complete season is actually only 24 hours IRL.

<--- never seen 24

Why put it in the episode when they can make it the episode.

In an interview with Variety, executive producer Evan Katz revealed the next hour of this season's 24-hour "day,"... would mostly focus on Jack eating a sandwich.

Hey, if it's good enough for the Prince of Persia, it's good enough for Jack Bauer.

EDIT: Damn me and my being 6 minutes behind the times.

I haven't watched the show, but does it really go in order? Are there 12 episodes of daylight, followed by 10 at night, followed by two more early morning daylight shows?

Also, everyone on the show stays up for 24 hours straight, right?

Jack does. In the first season he started showing signs of sleep deprivation after a while, as did a few other people. In subsequent seasons not that many people stay around the whole time; maybe 5 or 6 people. This season people have come and gone and come back again several times; Jack and Edgar are the only two people I can think of who haven't had any chance to sleep whatsoever.

don't forget masturbate, they masturbate while we are watching other characters.

you do realize that on 24 "THERE'S NO TIME!!!"

gravitas

 

[Doggiedog]

Don't they always find a perfect empty parking spot too?

CTU has no flaws, and they are all perfect 99.999999999999% of the time.

its the fight or flight response. So much adrenaline they don't have to go.

But I bet their cell phones would need charging.
