Jack Bauer's Not That Bright

So, the new season of 24 has started. Jack's back. He's at it again. I've decided though, that for a smart guy, he's not that bright.

After 7 seasons of disaster averting, bomb disarming, terrorist defeating, and death defying, you would think that he would figure out that at 5 minutes before the hour, he should just hide in a closet.

If you've seen 24, you know what I mean.

If I was Jack, I would get a watch with an alarm, and set it to go off at 10 minutes till the hour, every hour. When it went off, I would run away. I certainly wouldn't schedule a sensitive prisoner transfer right on the hour. Want to stage a coup? Let's NOT do it at 5:00. How about 5:23? That sounds better.

Come on, Jack, think!
