Watched the first episode of Alias. I liked it ok; was pretty sure I'd see more eventually but was in no hurry. Then, one Jack Bristow took center stage.

Dammit, what is it with characters named Jack? It's almost as though the name automatically imbues you with extra coolness.

I don't know, but let's not forget Colonel Jack, either.

*reading Wikipedia entry* (That's where Claudia Black ended up? Maybe I need to watch this show again from the beginning now ...)

O'Neill? *points at interests* Yep, he's the other one I was thinking of. Sooo many Jacks.

Dang, but there aren't enough Jacks in real life.

Kerouac's a real person. Do real people still count in this querry?

(Whee! I recognized the first four names. I'm culture savvy.)

Sure, as long as they're named Jack! Jack Skellington also isn't remotely human, and we're counting him.

Is culture savvy necessarily always a good thing? I guess it depends on the culture or at least upon the culture segment.

Point!

It's a good thing if it's geek culture?

I'm not sure that's always the case. Is it a good thing to have every episode of South Park memorized?

Lacking cable I wouldn't know, but, um, maybe?

That is a very good answer to many, many questions. ^_^

*is still thinking*

I've already raided Wikipedia. Damn ... there aren't as many Jacks as I'd have thought ...

Well, the name wouldn't come with an aura of cool, if every other dude, fictional or otherwise, had access to it, now would it? *g*
