3. "RE: extraordinary people doing ordinary things"
In response to message #0
 
   It is something that many writers seem to forget. I think we, as readers of adventure fiction (in all of its forms and for a suitably broad interpretation of "read), like to see, so that the protagonists are seen as just folks, to some extent. If you don't have those little moments, you end up with edge-of-the-seat tension 24 hours a day, and as Jack Bauer et al revealed, that gets pretty bloody boring pretty bloody fast.

There were other reasons that show got pretty bloody boring pretty bloody fast, but for me that was certainly one of them.
