While Lost's timeline isn't exactly fast-moving, it is still considerably more extensive than that of a 24 season. Lost gives its characters a lot more time to explain their feelings and thoughts. In 24, all these things happen in 24 hours. There is no time for Jack to feel guilty or reevaluate his ethics. And we never see him on his day after, or in any other non-stressful enviroment. But: We know that he isn't actually any longer in regular service for CTU. In the beginning of at least 2 seasons (including this one), he wasn't working anywhere near CTU or the government. In another season, he was working in a more political/administrative position, far away from being a field agent. He essentially broke down at the end of at least one season. I think it indicates that Jack has a lot of emotional or moral problems with the things he did than it appears during the regular 24 hours.</blockquote>
