In season 2, there’s a bit where Jack guilts Nina by talking about his wife and how she could go to buy ice cream, and make friends with a total stranger withen seconds. Sadly, when I saw that the 2nd time, what came to mind my was this: Jack used to buy the ice cream for his wife, but he would always go up to the ice cream man, pull out his gun and start yelling “Give me 2 butterscotch cones, OR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE!” After that, Teri decided that jack wasn’t allowed to buy ice cream anymore. ---

> [@JThunder](#): > > Jack Bauer once killed a man just to watch him die. Dammit, I made that up over the weekend and forgot to post it. My version was “Johnny Cash never shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. He watched Jack Bauer shoot the man and watch him die.” ---

So, how is Jack’s bimbo daughter still alive? Why didn’t Jack just kack her at some point because she was too stupid to live? ---
