With all the talk about the graphic torture scenes in this season's 24, I visited a couple of web sites that keep track of the number of people Jack Bauer kills to see how the post-Chinese prison sixth season Bauer compares to last season's.
According to the folks at Jack Bauer 24 Kill Count, Jack has killed seven people thus far this season, including the gory killing by biting in hour one and the shooting of angry colleague Curtis Manning in hour four. By the 12th hour last season, the web site reported Jack had killed 15 people.
However the bloggers at Blogs 4 Bauer say this season Jack has killed eight people. (Since I haven't kept a running tally on the number, I don't know which site is correct.)

If you're trying to keep a body count this season, forget about it. My theory is that Jack and company are running a major scam and most of the deaths have been staged. Along with the torture scenes. Everything's a charade!

The blogs for Bauer is probably counting the guy that Jack kicked off of the train. Bauer Kill Count website doesn't count that one, because the guy was going to kill himself anyway, Jack just made sure he didn't kill anyone else.
It's 7 people.

In every 24 thread theres a guy claiming its all a hoax.
Dont you think thats a bit out there, even for this show? Thats just too beyond belief, and the explanation would be too hard to swallow.
