Quotes

Jack Bauer: Do you understand the difference between dying for something and dying for nothing? The only reason I fought so hard to stay alive in China was because I didn't want to die for nothing. Today, I can die for something.

Plot hole: When Jack and Paul are at McLennan-Forrester, all the electronics stop working as the EMP is getting ready. The handheld radios used by the management team work just fine, however.

⇓

Character mistake: Near the start of the episode, Curtis asks how many square miles are affected by the blackout, and is told "approximately 8." A few minutes later, Sarah states that the blackout area is "everything within an 8 mile radius." These are vastly different amounts. An 8 mile radius would cover approximately 201 square miles.

Day 4: 8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. (season 4, episode 14)

⇓

Character mistake: In the scene where Chloe uses traffic video to get the license plate number off the van that takes Jack and Dina Araz to Habib Marwan, Tony is seen calling the field teams with the plate number, saying that it's "Charlie-Victor Alpha-Three-Two-Two." But the plate reads "6CVA322" so he should've said, "Six-Charlie-Victor-Alpha-Three-Two-Two."

Day 4: 9:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M. (season 4, episode 15)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Dina Araz was executed at 8:57 PM. At 9:01 PM the terrorists have placed her body in the van, drive off with it, and abandoned it. Then someone had found the body, reported it in, and the information had gotten to CTU. All in the course of four minutes. That is impossible, no matter how fast the terrorists.

Factual error: The bad guy uses the thumb to access the Air Force base at the end of the episode. Thumb scanners are activated by the pulse and wouldn't work otherwise.

Continuity: Chloe tells Michelle that she's confirmed Marwan's identity using voice tags from McLennan Forrester, but all of the computer records at MF were wiped out a few episodes earlier by the EMP, according to both the MF employees and CTU. The fact that they didn't get any information from the company except for the printouts Jack and Paul extracted was a major plot point a few hours ago, so even if a real EMP wouldn't do this, the fact that it's stated repeatedly in the show means it should hold true within the series; Chloe suddenly having information from them an hour or so later is discontinuous, and thus a mistake.

Day 4: 10:00 P.M.-11:00 P.M. (season 4, episode 16)

⇑
⇓

Character mistake: 23rd minute. Jack meets the female assassin in Anderson's apartment. She demands that he show his credentials. Jack says he's with CTU on a provisional basis and therefore he has no badge. The agent that came with Jack confirms that. Yet, in the 13th episode (minute 14) when he enters the sports shop with Audrey's husband, he shows his CTU badge to the owners in order to prove that he in fact is a federal agent.

Continuity: When Jack shoots Nicole through the wall, she slides down, smearing blood on the wall. However when Jack comes to check if she is dead, no blood is seen on the wall.

Day 4: 11:00 P.M.-12:00 A.M. (season 4, episode 17)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Jason and his wife are trying to escape from Marwan, they run through a corridor filled with water puddles. A few seconds later, one of Marwan's men goes through the same corridor to follow them, but none of the puddles had any ripples, which they should have considering the amount of water and time elapsed.

Continuity: When Jack gets out of the helicopter near the reserve power station, he slams the helicopter door, but it immediately bounces back open. In the next shot its closed.

Day 4: 12:00 A.M.-1:00 A.M. (season 4, episode 18)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: In the opening scene of the episode, Marwan gives a cohort Lat/Long coordinates for a nuclear missile. The computer shows these coordinates as being in the Midwest, they are actually in Nevada. (37 14' N 115 21' W).

Continuity: To get crucial information from Prado, Jack offers his resignation to Buchanan, and takes Prado on as a private citizen. But Jack doesn't work for CTU; he works for DOD, and is at CTU on a provisional basis.

Day 4: 1:00 A.M.-2:00 A.M. (season 4, episode 19)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: At 01:50 am, Chloe is told to go to Sabir's house. She arrives there approximately 5 minutes later, at 01:55:45. At 01:58, Jack is told that the closest tactics team is 15 minutes away from Sabir's residence. A few moments later, Jack mentions that the tactical team is 10 minutes apart from Chloe, meaning they bothered to send the team over there even though any officer currently at CTU HQ, including Jack, could get over there a lot sooner.

Day 4: 4:00 A.M.-5:00 A.M. (season 4, episode 22)

⇓

Other: After Michelle and Tony kiss, he goes away and she says 'Tony, be careful'. In the next episode in the "previously on 24" section Michelle whispers it to his ear.

Day 4: 5:00 A.M.-6:00 A.M. (season 4, episode 23)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the first scene where we see Tony as a hostage, Mandy comes over to him and he has a white gag in his mouth, which is taut. Mandy says, "Is she gonna do the same for you?" and the camera cuts back to Tony, whose gag is now limp on both sides.

Edit

Day 4: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. (season 4, episode 24)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Jack and Tony are supposed to be in the CTU locker room. So why does the room have glass walls? No point in having a locker room to change in if everyone can see you anyway.

Day 5: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. (season 5, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Season 5 Episode 1 Hour 07:00 A.M. The bad guy goes for Chloe and starts running at full speed close to the door (15 steps?) at 00:17:24. After 9 seconds "running," he barely is at the door.

Day 5: 9:00 A.M.-10:00 A.M. (season 5, episode 3)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: During Episode 3 of Season 5, the terrorists take Derek in front of live television. When the terrorists force him on his knees, you can see a splatter of blood on the floor from the body of the last victim that was shot there. As time is running out, another shot of Derek being held by the terrorists is shown, and the mere splatter of blood that had been near his knees is now a noticeably big pool of blood. Nobody has harmed Derek yet, and there are no signs that he is bleeding. So where did all that blood come from?

Day 5: 11:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. (season 5, episode 5)

Factual error: When Mrs. Logan escapes, Aaron Pierce refers to her as "the First Lady" over his radio. The Secret Service has code names for each of the members of the president's family. He should have used her code name when communicating to other Secret Service agents about her.
