* EvilIsPetty: In addition to both YouHaveFailedMe and YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness being in play, Cox ''just didn't like Willy'' altogether and didn't really need or want a reason to want to kill him. His forcing Jack to fire Janet is also because [[DisproportionateRetribution "I don't like the way she looks at me". While that could possibly be PragmaticVillainy because he thought she might get suspicious,

* DieHardOnAnX: Harrison Ford playing the same kind of character in ''Air Force One'' with Mary Lynn Rajskub playing the same type of helpful hacking heroine as her character Chloe O'Brien on ''24''.
