I’m getting into 24, watching previous seasons on Fox Sunday, and on Monday (the problem is that 24 reruns really don’t have the tension when they were first aired, after all, we’re in, what, season 5 now, it’s obvious the nuclear bomb set to blow in S2 won’t succeed, otherwise, we’d be seeing reprocussions of it in this season…
anyway, i got to thinking if the character of Jack Bauer was to leave CTU and work as, oh lets say, a cop on a big city police force, and still retain all his gun-happy hyperviolent, shouty charm, who would be a good partner to pair him up with?
a couple that spring to mind is “Dirty” Harry Callahan, Clint Eastwood and Kiefer Sutherland both as hard-boiled, shoot-first-ask-questions-later cops, the criminals would be running scared…
although, i think the BEST partner for Jack, would be Inspector Sledge Hammer…
they’d get along great, both have very complimentary “interrogation” styles, the same “criminals don’t have rights” philosophy…
hmm, maybe Jack Bauer and Sledge ARE related, tell me, has Jack ever talked to his gun?..
if Sledge and Jack partnered up, i’d feel really sorry for Capt. Trunk…
Who would you see Jack Bauer partnering up with?
