Awkward Moments on 24
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008The TV squad recently published the Top 10 Awkward Moments on TV and 24 managed to make the list.
8. Jack Bauer shoots his best friend. In the “awkward tragedy” department, Jack Bauer is forced to shoot his former partner and best friend, Curtis, during season six of 24. Okay, so it’s his only option when Curtis threatens to thwart Jack’s efforts to stop a nuclear threat involving several suitcase bombs. Still, why would you have to shoot him in the neck, Jack? Couldn’t you have popped Curtis in the leg or shoulder — just enough to make him drop his hostage so you could get on with saving the world? (TV Squad)
While that was a wee bit awkward and deserves a top 10 in the list of most awkward TV moments, I happen to think it was not the most awkward event to happen on 24. Hell, it wasn’t the most awkward moment on that season of 24.
How about when Jack set to torturing his own brother, leading to his death by Pappy Bauer? Then having his former sister-in-law (who has a child that looks and acts an awfully lot like Jack) put the moves on him. She leaned in for a kiss….and gets denied. Especially since Jack ends up with his ex, Audrey Raines, who went to China to search for Jack and came back with a brain full of play-do and spends her days talking like Paula Abdul and blowing spit bubbles….awkward.
