Here's the problem the show has with time. If you look at season two they have Jack all over LA by car and flying the bomb out to the desert. The time frames are compacted. He couldn't make the trips he makes in an hour.

Last night he asked the kid's mon where she was. She said 210 and 10. That puts her near the ontario airport. However, it's clear Jack is in LA. He can't drive to Ontario in the 10 minutes or so he did last night. No problem, it's still a great show and most of the country doesn't know the locales.

The Ontario Airport has two new modern terminals. When you see the brick single-story building like last night and in Catch Me If You Can, it's being filmed at the old terminal. Mostly vacant and a preferred shooting sight for LA airport scenes.

I decided to skip my usual "top 10 complaints" about the show for last night. But high on my list would have been how Jack, rushing to the rescue of Chloe, steals a chopper. While en-route on the chopper, he calls the mother and tells her to drive to LA. Now, I don't know where they were before (I thought he was supposed to be in Mexico, but I guess they were somewhere in the U.S.) but she manages to get into her car, and drive all the way to LA, and get's there within an hour or so of when he arrived.

I'd have to check the exact timeline which I can't do because I didn't tape the show, but it seems absurd that she can drive all the way to LA that quickly, when it took Jack more than 15 minutes by helicopter.

It is clear you have to ignore the time-to-travel in this show. Except once in a while, like last year when Chloe had to shoot the bad guy, it suddenly becomes critical to the plot (in that show it seemed Chloe got from CTU to a house, and got inside, and was talking to the people, and then got attacked, and called CTU, in LESS time than CTU said it would take to then send ANYBODY to the same location to save her, either from CTU or from the local police department.
