24 - Season 2: You Don't Want to Be Jack Bauer's Daughter

SPOILER ALERT!

So I finished watching Season 2 a couple of nights ago, and I came to the conclusion that it would suck to be Jack Bauer's daughter. I mean, Jack had a rough day, but that's his job. Kim, on the other hand, must be one of the unluckiest people on earth.

In this 24 hour period Kim:
  1. Is hit on by her creepy boss (Kim is a nanny),
  2. Witnesses her boss beat his child,
  3. Gets pulled over on the freeway while transporting (without her knowledge) the dead body of her boss's wife,
  4. Gets arrested for murder,
  5. Gets into a car accident,
  6. Becomes ensnared in a cougar trap,
  7. Runs into creepy "unabomber" guy, who later tries to lock her up in his bomb shelter,
  8. Is held at gunpoint in a convenience store robbery,
  9. Is arrested again,
  10. Is dumped by her boyfriend (who lost his leg as a result of the number 5), and finally
  11. Shoots her boss in self defense (twice, per Jack's explicit instructions -- "Kim! Shoot him again!")
Any one of these events would probably ruin your day. But all eleven in a single 24 hour period of time -- that would truly suck.

Are you guys just getting into that show? Hasn't it been on for a few years? (you know we struggle with t.v. shows...) That does sound like quite the unlucky day:(
