Predictability

Some of the little nuances in 24 are starting to become obscenely cliche to the show. Read on for spoiler-laden perspective to see what I mean.

Take for example when the two campers were supposed to be killed by Marwan's henchman. He pulls the gun up to the point where he's going to shoot, the music gets loud, zoom in on the gun, BANG BANG. But, of course, it's not the campers that are dead, it's Marwan's henchman. Jack shows up just in time to plug him before he plugs the campers. Case in point, take a look at episode 15, where Jack was being traded for BEHROOZ, there was a sniper trained to shoot Jack as soon as BEHROOZ was in the terrorists' control again. Same shit goes down - ready to shoot, music gets loud, zoom in on the gun, BANG BANG. Terrorist dies, not Jack.
