My wife who LOVES 24 alwasys says that the Bond movies are too unbelieable to watch.
I think 24 should try a little harder to make some of the stuff believable. Too many things are a stretch and if they just want to "entertain" they can stick with Idol.
For example, Jack hijacking the first helicopter was unbelieable and unneccesry if they just need the Prez to tell the truth to his wife. She could have gotten that out of him during the pre-helicopter "activities".
And the President looking for "wires" on her and it turns out to be a pen in his pocket. It could have just as easily been a hair pin in her hair or a false nail...unneccesary stuff.
And finally, how in the world could the chicoms have been privy to jack's plans and arrange to get a few agents to pick him up at the end right under the nose of 100 secret service agents. Why not just sneak into his beroom and kidnap him at night....more believable.
If I wanted to kidnap Jack that would have been the worst time to try it, not to mention getting the intel on where he'd be would have been all but impossible.
This is the first season I've watched and I agree that some of the things just seem a little inconsistent. Of course, I expect a lot of dramatic license on a show like this, but sometimes, I wonder if the pace of production causes them to not even bother with details.

I just assumed that Logan's unidentified cohorts in crime arranged for Jack to be taken. What do they care? I know Logan was concerned that the Chinese not get Jack and wanted him killed, but do his cohorts have any such concerns? Oh, well.........we will know next year.
