Jack's lighter side

Here's the smile Jack flashed when Dopey said he has full confidence in his back up field OP:

Doesn't even look like there are nuclear materials, White House conspiracies, and missing agents in play, does it?

Looks like he's playing with his 4-yr-old granddaughter.

But trust me, this is serious stuff.  I guess Jack has finally learned advanced stress management techniques.  Like, no matter what you do, the sun will rise tomorrow.  And being on the clock like 24 is must add to Jack's confidence that tomorrow will come.

I would like that clock thing to play a bigger role in each episode.  Not that we don't hear too much already how long everything is gonna take (when the U325 will be ready, when Jack will be back at CTU), but I'd like the time of day to play a role in the plot of each episode.  For most of this series, the actual time of day the show keeps reminding us about has no impact on the plot.  Most episodes could happen equally (un)likely at any time of day.
