Jack Bauer vs. Jack Bristow

[Frank Cannon]

Poll question: Jack Bauer vs. Jack Bristow

I know there are a lot of 24 and Alias fans on this board. Each of these "good guys" has committed more than their share of violent and morally specious acts on their respective TV shows. If they ever had to go mano a mano, who would get the upper hand? Answer carefully and show your work. (This question is obviously directed at those who are familiar with both shows.)

1. Bristow

beside being a huge Alias fan, i think Victor Garber is a really handsome guy!

2. Garber does a terrific job on that show

Each week, you can't figure out whether he's the best thing that ever happened to his daughter or whether he's a total demon spat from the mouth of hell. That takes some real acting to pull that off.

I'm sad to see the show ending this season, but evidently J.J. Abrams and the cast have left the door open for future Alias movies and the like. Evidently, they really like working with each other.

4. Jack Bauer

Love him! I like the rugged look better.

5. Sorry, I like Alias, but Bauer would kick Spydaddy's ass

Up and down the street.

6. Bristow - Pure, cold intelligence

Bauer is determined, but he's a cowboy-type. No way that he can beat someone with the vast experience and cold-hearted duplicity of Jack Bristow.
