In 24 at first they tried to attach consequences in the form of the physical and emotional degradation of Jack Bauer, but after a few seasons of successes and redemption, it made no impact anymore. I can't recall instances of the good guys in Fringe using torture directly. I'm sure they are there, and I've just become numb to them.
- mavhc 13y agoBy season 6 of 24 they nuked a city in USA just to get Bauer to go back to work.
- moron4hire 13y agoThat's not even the most unbelievable thing in the show. I mean, an entire season is supposed to take place over a 24 hour period, making each episode a running hour of time. You expect us to believe that Jack Bauer can drive across LA 3 times an hour!? BULLSHIT!
- philwelch 13y agoI was mostly disappointed he never got hungry. You'd think he'd at least be eating a clif bar or a sandwich every few episodes.
- shitlord 13y agoI think he ate once when he was getting debriefed
- moron4hire 13y agoyeah, you gotta figure superAgentJackBauer has a caloric burn rate of at least 5000 calories.
- alan_cx 13y agoYeah, but by then, 24 had become a cartoon. I watched it as though it was a slapstick comedy. As a big dumb cartoon, 24 made sense to me. If I took it seriously, it just made me angry. I came to absolutely love it as an outrageous joke.
- bluedino 13y agoDidn't pressure make Keifer do little PSA's during the commercials of the last season or two of 24, saying that 'this is just a TV show torture shouldn't really ever be used'?
- jasonlotito 13y agoIn the 5th season, Peter tortures an observer. But this is displayed in a dark light, and the torture fails. It's not glorified. It's in fact the dark side, a counter-balance to Olivia's mourning. Basically, it's portrayed as a horrific, shocking action, made all the more horrible because of who's doing it. It's the first steps down a darker road for Peter. So, yeah, not at all propaganda supporting torture.
