Yea, the real-time aspect isn't very realistic. I guess the show would be pretty boring if they used real drive times. Watching Kiefer Sutherland sitting in a car for 45 minutes probably wouldn't be too exciting........unless he is pulled over for DUI and then arrested.

I also enjoy how the terrorist deadlines always seem to time perfectly with either the very end of the current episode or soon into the next one. It's never 8:06 and the terrorist says "you have 15 minutes to comply". If it's 8:42, then they might say that.

Oh, well, it's entertainment and the one thing I do like about 24 is that they somewhat stay away from political correctness and have actually had Arab terrorists in the past and also the fact that Jack Bauer tortures people and they kind of show an argument as to why just saying "no torture" isn't so simple in reality. I'm not taking a side on this and don't want to discuss torture in a political sense I'm just pointing out that I like the fact that they do these things on the show when normally Hollywood productions might stay away. Please let's not discuss torture now and get the thread locked.
