From 1778 to 1868. It doesn’t say which treaties were broken, or perhaps I should say, when each treaty was broken.

Jack Bauer vs. Chuck Norris
Vote for who you think will win in a fight of good vs. good.
Me and Mrs. Cynical just recently started getting into 24 and rented the first few seasons. We are up to Season three at the moment and I am wondering if Kim Bauer is the biggest jinx in the history of television. She makes Cousin Oliver from the Brady Bunch seem like a winner. How does anybody get kidnapped six times in one day? At one point she gets kidnapped from her kidnappers by an entirely different set of kidnappers. And in those rare instances that she isn’t being held by gunpoint or inadvertently getting people around her killed or mutilated, she is spouting opinions that are consistently wrong. I thought CTU hiring her in Season 3 was a stroke of genius if the plan was that CTU would ask for her opinions and then do the exact opposite of whatever her gut was telling her at the time.
Then again, I guess if she exhibited any common sense they would have to call the show 2 so I guess I really have no point.

Gotta love the flapping wings attempts.
