24: Hire a friggin geek

I watch 24, and more or less enjoy it. At the very least, I have worse ways to waste an hour of my time. Suspend your belief in reality and it can be compelling at times.

But my lord, do they need a tech geek. It’s not like they can’t still have outlandish, completely implausible scenarios. Just use the right jargon. Or, at the very least, don’t use the wrong jargon. I’d rather have them literally make up words than use real words in completely the wrong context.

Phrases like “they sent this video to our subnet”, which was said in today’s episode, should not make it to the final release.
