You have hit the nail on the head. Watch a clip from the first season and then the last season. It maybe hard to admit, but its true, Jack Bauer is currently looking a little over the hill. We don’t want 24 to get as stupid as the last Rocky movie, with senior citizen Rocky Balboa climbing back in the ring. Someone earlier brought up “Dirty Harry”, the same applies here. An 80 year old Harry Callaghan just will not cut it.
THere’s no reason why 24 can’t be like the James Bond series. No one has a major cow each time they switch out lead actors. Why not have them all be named Jack Bauer. Well that would be freaky.
