The Jack Bauer Effect

just like the famous "Stormtrooper effect", we DO need to analize the Jack Bauer effect. this would comprehend, from how does his "mental" and "physical" abilities range on the different days; onto ranging the best methods to put the implacable Bauer down,. and possibly dead (the dream of many burocrats)

just let me know!!!

I'm not 100% sure what you're talking about, but we have things called "analysis" (they aren't, strictly, but this would be), so I could see where this would fit in. Anybody? --StBacchus 11:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

well I mean lloking at the super-anti-terrorist chap, what are the most interesting things taht we can observe from him, like his physical prowness and mental agilities. how does this affect him in the different days. And most interesting, what about killing Jack?, it was stated in the wikipedia article that if he was killed the show ends, but since that's not gonna happen for now, I was thinking on that, having observed that in season 5, the various tasers on Jack seemed to stop him cold. Of course, this and the former themes are open to all to make discussions and arrive to a consensus. CharlesWiki 05:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I still don't understand. I have no idea what the "famous Stormtrooper effect" refers to.... and I have no clue about what kind of page you're looking for here. The Jack Bauer Effect? You want to discuss his physical prowess and the best methods for eliminating him (and how his death would play out/effect the show)?

This is an encyclopedia for 24. We're trying to keep it just facts.... no speculation or opinion. There are dozens of discussion boards online for those kinds of things. -Kapoli 05:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure he must be talking about Stormtrooper effect, and alluding to the concept of the Character shield and somewhat to the concept of a Wedge-type character. It might be interesting to do it in a wikipedia style manner, but I'm not sure if a lot of the same concepts apply. - Xtreme680 06:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Villains

There should be a category page for all villans.

One of the things about 24 is the lack of true villians and heros. One person can be a hero one minute and a villian the next. No one is 'always right' and 'always wrong.' Is Sherry Palmer a villian? What about Mike Novick? The Salazars? There are too many gray areas, if you ask me. I don't think we should use the word villian on this site. - Willo

I agree with Willo. --Proudhug 02:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Willo, too. We have a category for the "Marwan terrorist cell"... maybe we could do something like "Salazars" or "Drazens" too. I don't really think it's totally necessary, but it could be done if that's what people want. -- Kapoli 02:50, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

How about a generic "Terrorists" category? That's more factual than opinion-based. Then the only question I would have is what to do with mercenaries like Mandy and Collette. --StBacchus 11 April 2006

How about making it a Terrorists/Mercenaries category with redirects for Terrorists and one for mercenaries, that go to Terrorists/Mercenaries.-CWY2190 00:40, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I like that idea...although I don't know how the redirect would work. Is it too cumbersome to call it "Terrorists and Mercenaries"? Or too much of a cheat to just call it "Terrorists" and throw Collette and Mandy in there anyway? -StBacchus 09:36, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

So, would Ira Gaines be considered a mercenary?-CWY2190 05:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I would say so. He wasn't really a terrorist, since his goal wasn't to incite terror. Really, the Drazens weren't terrorists, either, they were just after revenge. -StBacchus 06:57, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Gaines was an assassin. --Proudhug 07:57, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

How so? He was never supposed to kill anyone himself. -StBacchus 18:38, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I know. He wasn't used as an assassin by the Drazens, but prior to Day 1, he was known as an assassin. --Proudhug 20:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
