Point: Jack Bauer is a bad influence on his grandchild
By: Grandpa Oscar
I’m a concerned grandparent who has been a fan of the show ’24′ from the start. While I have enjoyed the years of senseless violence, I’m starting to wonder if it has negative consequences. Take little Teri Bauer, Jack’s granddaughter. I see that they are going to start spending more time together (in around 24 hours or so). This worries me because of Jack’s history of violence against both terrorists and fellow family members (see Graem and Great Grandpa Bauer).
It should also be clear to Fox that Jack’s history of extreme violence has already impacted how Teri sees the world. Just check out the picture she drew for Grandpa in episode 2 of this season.
If my grandchild drew a picture of her grandpa blowing the brains out of a cute blue stick figure, alarms would sound and Grandpa would not shoot people around the grand kids ever again. I speak for most responsible adults when I say that Jack Bauer is not a good influence on Teri Bauer. On a side note, Teri cannot draw for crap.
I’d also like to complain about this weather and my aching knees, but I have to take my Popular Science into the bathroom and have a bowel movement. You know, they haven’t been the same since Korea.
