The blogger who writes Watching 24 has devised an episode-by-episode "Character Countdown," where he ranks characters based on whether he thinks they acted in accordance with their characters, or whether he simply approves or disapproves of their actions.
The character with the most points (the higher the better), is . . . shocker of all shockers . . . Jack Bauer. He's got 378 points thus far. He was awarded two points last week for thanking Chloe O'Brian for her help, but lost points eight for believing his evil father, Papa Bauer.
Chloe, meanwhile, got an 8-point bump for smacking her ex, less than an hour after he'd been tortured with a drill, while chief of staff Tom Lennox lost 10 points for acting sneaky.

Hey Meredith,
I just wanted to thank you for spotlighting my site like that.
I enjoy doing the Countdown, and was very excited to see it recognized here on TV Squad.
Thanks a lot!

the original idea came from this blog:
