Only on TV

Bauer Sunglasses

As much as I like "24", almost every week I am forced to suspend credibility to fully enjoy the show. I mean, I can totally buy into the premise that 117 nuke facilities were taken over by terrorists in cahoots with rogue U.S. Defense contractors who have built a control device specifically for that task. And of course I can believe that in less then an hour, a single computer programmer was able to whittle the number of nuke plants at risk down to 6. I can even believe that one person can rescue the kidnapped Secretary of Defense and his daughter with a single gun during a daring daytime attack against a fortified terrorist compund.

But, c'mon, how is it possible that Bauer can drive all over California, from L.A. to the Northern Mountains, use his cell phone constantly and never have a dropped call or need to have his battery recharged?? It's stuff like this that brings you back to reality and reminds you that you must be watching a TV show.
