Drunken thoughts on '24' Season 1

Girlfriend's mom gave me the "24" season 1 box set for Christmas. I am a huge "24" fan and have not missed an episode. But I haven't seen the first season since it originally aired.

I finished the last DVD a couple nights ago and here's a few drunken thoughts:

In the first two hours, I went to the bathroom five times; Kiefer Sutherland didn't go at all.

Elisha Cuthbert turned a starring role in a hit show into one of the worst careers in Hollywood history, appearing in several movies that no one saw (The Quiet, Captivity and The Girl Next Door in which she played a porn star who never gets naked).

Our country clearly has decided it is time for a serious African American presidential candidate, after seeing "Major League's" Pedro Cerrano earn the Democratic nomination at the end of the first season.

If you're a government agent known only by your last name (example: Agent Samuels, Agent Hollister), you are going to be killed very soon -- probably during the same episode you first appeared in.

Perhaps someone should evaluate the Human Resources department at CTU (Counter Terrorism Unit). In season #1, two moles -- spies working on behalf of terrorists -- managed to get hired at the government agency, a common situation that would occur in future seasons. Maybe review the whole application process; here's a thought:

Do you currently work for a terrorist,
intent on destroying our country? [ ] Yes [ ] No

If "Yes," may we contact your current terrorist organization?

If my first name was Kiefer, I'd bet in the bathroom all the time...throwing up.
