- he was willing to kill his partner HIMSELF just to protect his cover
- he's DIED twice and LIVED

jack doesn't need "tools"

he uses his surroundings

a towel down someones neck to drag out their intestines
wires from a lamp to electrocute someone
a hacksaw to cut off someones head

just to waste time

Jack Bristow also once instructed Marshall over coms on how to properly remove a human eyeball (Marshall failed during the first attempt).

I love Jack Bauer but, where he's a very passionate killer (he can get get very intense when taking someone out or in the midst of torture), Jack Bristow is a cold ruthless son of a bitch. There is no negotiating with him unless he planned to negotiate in the first place (and those times are rare). If I ever went up against either, both would scare me shitless but with Bristow I'd know I was dead before the first shot was fired.

yep.

I stopped watching both Alias and 24 at the of last season because BOTH shows just became too goddamn stupid for me to call them entertaining anymore. That being said, my vote goes to Jack's Bistro.











ok Bristow!

Sorry, but after the Alias series finale I thought this could use an update.

I've now seen upto season 4 of "24" and I almost wanted to change my vote to Bauer, but then Bristow had to shoot some high ranking governement official during a governement meeting and then at the end of the SERIES finale he .

After the Alias series finale this poll should officially be awarded to Jack Bristow and all Jack Bauer votes should be discarded.

Anyone else agree? Of course I still need to see 24 season 5, but I don't see anything being more badass.

Yeah, that is pretty badass..

No Doubt about it! Spy Daddy wins hands Down!

I didn't even realize how WRONG that looked until you edited the rest out. I edited one word, changed it to lower case and now it doesn't seem to stand out anymore.

Jack Bauer would have figured out a way to blow up that cave, get out of there, shore up his bullet wound, travel halfway around the world in minutes so he could see Sydney kill her mother, all while shouting "WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! DAMMIT!"

Besides, Bauer was willing to be blown up by an A-Bomb back in Season 2.

Bauer bailed on the nuke so that doesn't count. Also, he was doing it to save million of lives. Bristow did what he did just to

I only caught a glimpse of the Bauer animated GIF. I didn't want it to spoil anything for me (haha, Bauer kicks badguy's ass and/or tortures/kills bad guy. Huge spoiler huh? I guess I don't want to see how it happens without watching the villain earn his ass kicking/torture/death first.).

Anyway, it made think that it would be cool to have a thread dedicated to TV animated GIFs. Has there ever been a thread dedicated to TV GIFs? I know they have a big movie GIF thread in another topic area, but there should be one for tv damn it!

^ go ahead and scroll up and watch it. He is a nobody that had maybe 3 lines. I don't think he even had a name. Not everyone he kills is important, even though there seems to be a new top dog every third episode.

Just incase some people are still catching up

Is that official or are you just hoping, like me.

Just praying

So can we declare the contest over now? I present further evidence:

removed

Sorry...I don't think we'd see Jack Bristow bellyachin' and cryin' like a bitch that "I can't do this anymore"...

though, for some reason, I mistakenly voted for him, dammit...

So, after a few more days under Jack Bauer's belt, and especially after the past couple episodes, I think it's it's uncontested despite the close poll.

Only one of them has his own fragrance.

Of course, given Jack never showers or has a much needed BM in a 24-hour period, I sure as hell don't wanna smell like him.
