I am a big fan of 24, particularly the continuity factor. However, this was sadly missing with Jack's impossible sudden recovery after taking an absolutely shocking beating from the very big cop, Mazoni, Such a beating would have, at least, resulted in a broken nose, teeth & lips, black eyes. & even busted ribs. However, there he was, a relatively short time later, back at CTU with not even a scratch showing or any other physical after effects. In other episodes continuity has been scrupulously adhered to.
