  • these are the bad guys, sd 6 and slone

  • this is shit video

  • this is nothing compared to 24. if anything get pissed off about 24

  • Clearly, none of you actually watch this show or have any idea who these characters are.

  • "Good guy jack", "not even a ticking bobm scenario". Yeah, and I can take random clips from Bambi promoting torture and nuking of small babies too. Jack isnt a "good guy", he is a hard boiled person who does anythign to get what he needs done, done. In this case he need to save a life. The guy they almost torture there is evil and will be dead in days, and in an attempt to save an innocent life he was prepared to do that.

    I am not for torture but I AM against stupidity.

  • Ummm does y'all even watch this show? 1. Jack is often of questionable morals, Sydney is the heroine we are meant to identify with, and she is often mad at/ scolding/ ignoring her father because of his poor decisions. 2. Jack was undercover (i.e. pretending to be evil).

  • @largemoose It doesn't promote torture the person who posted this is probably one of those same idiots who thinks that Jack Bauer dictates how our Millitary acts .

  • Saw them all. Yes he is a "hero" of the show, certainly by the end. The point is still quite valid.

  • I can't remember much from way back in Season Two but this was still the days of SD-6 where Jack was deep undercover, and had to maintain the trust of the sociopathic Arvin Sloane, whom he knows is going to torture the guy eventually.

    Jack Bristow does lots of morally questionable things throughout the series, but the show was always using that character to explore the ethical grey areas of such actions to heighten the drama, and never outright condoned his darker moments, e.g.; framing Irina.

  • How many episodes of Alias have you seen? Jack isn't "a good guy" he's a majorly protective father and a "loyal" nationalist, but in no way is he the "good guy" or "hero". He believes in saving the innocent or whatever but he's never gone about it in a morally acceptable way. He is a very ends justify the means person and those people are never painted as the "hero"
