24 - - - - The Best Drama On Television.

[JBond]

Stupid episode, stupid ending, but...

At least Starbuck will finally grow a pair and kick some ass, now.

Stupid Moments: Episode 13

- Pointing the thermal scanner up in the air to find the snipers.
- CTU agent freaking out and breaking formation.
- Chloe pulling a gun out because she disagreed on protocol.
- Not really a "moment" per se, but, CTUs background checks for high ranking jobs.

[JBond]

Or just make squishy annoyed faces at her while sighing.

And she's certainly good at that. I hope she wins the Emmy for most pathetic character.

[IanTheCool]

Her storyline is definitely the worst subplot they have ever come up with. And my friends, that is saying something. Does Milton really think that a CTU director, in the middle of a crises, cares about his petty investigation? Stupid stupid stupid.

[donny]

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. This show is awful now. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse than the last 2 seasons.... well, let's just say I was wrong.

[Doomsday]

Wait, a mole in in CTU?!? GET OUT OF TOWN!!

You would think the writers, after 8 seasons, would say 'you know, the whole CTU having a mole angle is getting weak since we've done it every season without fail, lets not do it this time.' I guess I was wrong.

So did redneck boyfriend know she was a mole? Because that would be the only way that whole thing made any sense at all.

[Duke-Leto]

So did redneck boyfriend know she was a mole? Because that would be the only way that whole thing made any sense at all.

Unless she was recruited in jail and trained after she got out while he was still in, which would explain how a dumb blonde bimbo could fake an identity well enough to fool a government agency.

Even though it may have run its course, I really didn't expect - or want - the show to end like this.

[Tornado]

I'm relieved it's canceled because I wasn't going to be watching next year and I didn't really want there to be new 24 I wasn't watching, but at the same time I'm disappointed it's going out like this. The past 7 seasons have been filled with a lot of hit (1-3, 5 and parts of 7) and miss (4, 6, and parts of 7), but it's always been entertaining. This is the first year I've ever seen watching the series as a chore. I used to call this one of my favorite shows; while it would still be among those favorites, it has certainly fallen with this last season.

Fair enough. I know I would've watched it if it went on, though. Sadly, a lot of my favorite shows are near cancellation. Lost is done in a few episodes, Heroes might not come back, Smallville will probably end next year and 24 is now officially cancelled. I have other shows I watch but those are the ones I'm most devoted to and I don't see anything replacing them (I would say Flashforward and V but they might be cancelled too).

[Tornado]

Yeah, I know what you mean. BSG ended last year, Lost is done this year, Smallville is (likely) done next year, Dexter will probably be over fairly soon... all I'll be left with are Mad Men and comedies. The difference is that all of them (... well, you could argue with the exception of Lost) are on or went out on creative highs. And even Lost has been good this year, even though I have more issues with it than I have in the past. Unfortunately, 24's longevity has caught up to it. There are only so many times you can have a nuclear device, a toxic gas threat, or a mole in CTU. It gets old. I don't remember them having a specific threat in Season 1, but they did nukes in Seasons 2, 4, 6 and 8, and gas threats in 3, 5, and 7. And they've had moles almost every year. It's tiresome.

[JBond]

They should end it with Jack and Chloe getting married.

[ViRUs]

I agree, I remember the old days where I would want to watch the next episode right away. If I was watching anything else at the 9 pm slot, I would probably record 24, and get around to watching later in the week. I would really force myself into watching it like I do with some shows.

[the elmo zombie]

Crossing fingers for the Dana spinoff! There's no way they can wrap up such a complex and brilliant storyline by the end of the series! maybe in the film?! gah i'm worried now!

[the elmo zombie]

I'm sorry guys....i didn't mean that. Not even right to joke about. Hope you can forgive me in time.

[Tornado]

We'll see.

I've started re-watching Season 5. I think the first 15 minutes of the premiere have been more tense and more exciting than the first 13 episodes combined of Season 8.

[the elmo zombie]

they had a damn good hook to that season. one of the better seasons. Everything with Logan was great, it had some very good twists, and it hadn't jumped the shark yet. while i still liked season 7 a whole lot, the show jumped when Tony came back. It paved the way to do anything despite the logic of it.

[Steve from Indy]

They should end it with Jack and Chloe getting married.

And then Jack slips in the shower and dies. Kinda like Patton dying from injuries sustained in a fender bender. What could be better?? :hehe:

Either that or he blows his brains out, or maybe dies saving a cat or something minor like that.

[Duke-Leto]

or maybe dies saving a cat or something minor like that.


Only the cat is not a cat, it is a mole planted by terrorists.

[JBond]

Hah, either one would be great.

[thebtskink]

You would think the writers, after 8 seasons, would say 'you know, the whole CTU having a mole angle is getting weak since we've done it every season without fail, lets not do it this time.' I guess I was wrong.

I thought that Gael being the fake-mole in Season 3 was showtime.

I agree with everything in this post. There were parts of S7 that were intolerable, and there were parts that were among the best that the show has produced.

I hope Jack dies. The show really can't end any other way.

[thebtskink]

BSG ended last year, Lost is done this year, Smallville is (likely) done next year, Dexter will probably be over fairly soon... all I'll be left with are Mad Men and comedies.

Which is why not having a CTU and having the plot revolve around an assassination attempt worked for much of Season 7. It was a new refeshing thing. I feel like Season 8 has fell back onto the same crutches that propped up earlier bad seasons and failed. It's worse than season 4 right now, although not quite as bad as season 6 (Noah Daniels and the doctor from DS9 were the only good things about that season)

[thebtskink]

It paved the way to do anything despite the logic of it.

The thing that worked really well with the Logan twist was that the audience has already seen him as a cowardly lion type character beginning at the end of season 4. I was shocked to see him with any kind of confidence, let alone as a criminal mastermind.

[Duke-Leto]

I do not care what you say, tonight's episode was a good one. Tons of action, betrayal, and 15 mins until a nuclear detonation. This is what 24 should have been doing all season!

[Tolkien]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I've always wanted 24 to return to a more simpler threat, like maybe what season 1 had with Jack, Palmer and the Drazens, or better still, like 24: Redemption was. It's not like Jack needs to be Captain America in every season. I'd take good interesting story over mindless action any 'ol day if they did it right. But unfortunately, we'll never see that.

[Tornado]

Quite honestly, I think a more interesting President would help things along. David Palmer was the ideal President (fictional or not), and Charles Logan was an incredible character. Unfortunately, I really didn't care for Wayne as President ('course, I don't think anybody else did either) and I don't like Allison Taylor either.

[the elmo zombie]

ummmm....WAS THAT F#CKING LOGAN IN THE PREVIEW?!?!?!?!!!!!

[Duke-Leto]

Yep, Logan is coming back.

[ViRUs]

Thanks for using spoilers there........ Oh well, I dont really care anymore.

The first half was pretty bad, but the second half picked up. That sure was a convienant time to have a heart attack. It's a good thing he had Jack on speed dial though just incase...... It's like they are not even trying anymore.

[Duke-Leto]

Ummm how is it a spoiler when it is in the commercial? Sorry you do not watch commercials.

[Bobby007]

Ummm how is it a spoiler when it is in the commercial? Sorry you do not watch commercials.

I will say those things ruin a lot, but yeah, those are the previews for the show so I think it's safe to say those can be considered common knowledge.

[Tornado]

Another weak episode.

[IanTheCool]

Man, its too bad Jack never came back from China, hey?

[Tornado]

http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/03/31/24-dana-walsh-katee-sackhoff-backlash/#more-7152

Give me a break. Maybe if they wouldn't resort to such lazy and tired ideas they wouldn't have such a backlash on their hands. Also, be patient? We're 14 episodes in. They have had more than enough time to do something interesting with her.

[Duke-Leto]

Well he does have a point about having to reuse ideas but they are just going about it all wrong with Dana. She is just a horrible character and I am in no way a fan of Katee, even when she was on Nip/Tuck, she ruined that too.

If it was not for her I would be enjoying this season much more.

[docstop]

Another weak episode.

How so? Cliff-hanger ending as always and lots of intrigues not only in CTU but now some head government guys too. I liked it.

[the elmo zombie]

i think the true problem is that Jack's personality is completely gone.

[Tornado]

How so? Cliff-hanger ending as always and lots of intrigues not only in CTU but now some head government guys too. I liked it.

You just described every single episode of the entire series. In the same sense that those things alone don't make for a weak episode, they don't make for a good one either.

[Duke-Leto]

i think the true problem is that Jack's personality is completely gone.


I do not know if it is gone, he just is not getting the screen time to show any personality. He has gotten a few more minutes the last couple of episodes but not as much as he should.

[the elmo zombie]

I do not know if it is gone, he just is not getting the screen time to show any personality. He has gotten a few more minutes the last couple of episodes but not as much as he should.

rewatch the scene he has on the plane with Nina in season 2, or when he has to kill chappelle in season 3. Hell, even the end of season 6, or the end of the 4th episode of season 6. How about his moments with Kim last season? He's like a robot now.

[Duke-Leto]

Yea but I am expecting Renee Walker to get killed (not a spoiler I am just guessing) and when it happens he will break down and shed a tear or two I bet.

[the elmo zombie]

idk man i think they'll give Jack a happy ending

[docstop]

You just described every single episode of the entire series. In the same sense that those things alone don't make for a weak episode, they don't make for a good one either.

It's nothing new but better than going in some ultra unrealistic plot directions.

[Tornado]

Ultra unrealistic? Like Jack being stabbed and shot three times in the span of a few hours, and suffering no lasting damage? This season they have not even made an attempt to account for distances between locations. Jack has gotten into a car and gotten to his destination in the span of a commercial break several times this season. Ultra unrealistic stuff happens all the time on the show (for example, the entirety of CTU this year). And quite honestly, I would rather see them take a plot in an insane direction at this point. They have nothing to lose at this point, and at least it wouldn't be boring like the season up to this point has been so far.

[the elmo zombie]

just let Jack drive a tank or something. Make Chloe the main villian. bring the couger back.

[ViRUs]

Might as well bring Wayne back too.

[Tornado]

I'm pretty sure you meant to write David.

[Doomsday]

I dunno if I like this news, but it just leaked that the main villain soon to be revealed is none other than Teri Bauer.

[Duke-Leto]

I dunno if I like this news, but it just leaked that the main villain soon to be revealed is none other than Teri Bauer.



I call BS on that or once again I am missing your internet sarcasm.

[Tornado]

It is April Fool's day. ;)

[Duke-Leto]

Ahhh yea good point. I have been out of work for 2 days and without work and my outlook calendar I have no idea of the date!

[JBond]

I honestly think before long they should have Tony, Kim, Logan...Nina, David Palmer, and Bill come back, everyone. The ones we "thought" were dead will come in at once and Jack would say "I thought you guys were dead?" they'd say "Nope."

It'd be a bad moment, but then we'd get past it and enjoy 24 before it ends. ;)

[the elmo zombie]

well if lost can do it....maybe Freddy Prince can see and talk to them

[thebtskink]

It's a shame that this season is so bad, and that Season 7 couldn't wash the taste of Season 6 out of our mouths completely, becuase Renee Walker is one of the best "good guy" characters they've had on the show.

Imagine if she was there in Season 4 and the show ended after Season 5? We would've had 5 straight seasons of good show instead of the mediocrity we get now.

[Tornado]

I honestly think before long they should have Tony, Kim, Logan...Nina, David Palmer, and Bill come back, everyone. The ones we "thought" were dead will come in at once and Jack would say "I thought you guys were dead?" they'd say "Nope."

It'd be a bad moment, but then we'd get past it and enjoy 24 before it ends. ;)

I honestly wouldn't raise a single objection. At least the show would be interesting again.

[the elmo zombie]

okay. but only if Dana gets into some CRAAAAZZZZZZY antics with Kim. Dana is very important to me this season.

[ViRUs]

I honestly think before long they should have Tony, Kim, Logan...Nina, David Palmer, and Bill come back, everyone. The ones we "thought" were dead will come in at once and Jack would say "I thought you guys were dead?" they'd say "Nope."

Might as well bring Lincoln and Elvis back too.

[IanTheCool]

Might as well bring Lincoln and Elvis back too.

Yes. Lincoln has come back and is once again president. But CTU has to stop him from once again being assassinated... by Elivs.

[the elmo zombie]

Put Jack in a time machine and have a season about him stopping Pearl Harbor. or Capone. or Ozymandais.

[thebtskink]

I honestly think before long they should have Tony, Kim, Logan...Nina, David Palmer, and Bill come back, everyone. The ones we "thought" were dead will come in at once and Jack would say "I thought you guys were dead?" they'd say "Nope."

You forgot the cougar. They need to bring back the cougar and have it join CTU.

[thebtskink]

I hope after the show runs its course, Fox decides to preserve the "is teri died?" thread. That is one of the true classics of the internet.

http://24community.fox.com/go/thread/view/93730/22137878/is_teri_died?pg=1

[JBond]

I'm not going through 290 pages of that. Why is it so special?

[thebtskink]

No you shouldn't. It's just that the first poster has horrible horrible english and is mercilessly mocked.

Ignore that post, let's get the cougar back on the show!

[JBond]

I could never understand how the cougar became so notoriously hated. Granted it was silly, but it wasn't the worst thing to ever happen. Need I remind people that Teri got amnesia in Season 1.

[thebtskink]

Damn that ending sequence leading up to where they were keeping Hassan was really well done.

[true fan11212]

Damn that ending sequence leading up to where they were keeping Hassan was really well done.

Agreed. Overall, the two hour thing was pretty good tonight!

[Duke-Leto]

The first hour was so so, typical 24 car chase stuff but the second hour was great. I did not see that happening at all, a total shocker!

Can't wait for next week to see what the Russians have to do with all of this.

[moviebuff801]

It looks like this season has finally gotten interesting. That ending was teriffic.

[ViRUs]

Agreed, 24 isnt really bad now.


It's not good either though..

[Doomsday]

I don't know if they just got lucky last night with 24 being good and suspenseful, or if the season is actually turning around, because it's not too late to salvage what's left. We do have 7 or 8 hours left after all.

[IanTheCool]

Hmmm. Guess I should have watched last night.

[Duke-Leto]

Yea go watch it on fox.com or hulu. It is worth it.

[Tornado]

Both of Monday's episodes were pretty good, especially the last ten minutes or so of the second episode. I do find it odd that they basically dealt with every single conflict of the season though. What do they do next?

[Duke-Leto]

Well the whole meeting with the Russian president was just strange so they are setting up something there and with Logan's past dealing with the Russians, that is how he is going to come into play. They have something sneaky up their sleeve it seems! That is just my educated guess, not a spoiler. I do not read spoilers on TV shows.

[Tornado]

Logan is coming back?

[Tolkien]

Oh thank God, it's daylight again. Is it just me or are the daytime episodes at least half better regardless of story process or not? There's just more going on during the day. As for the two-part episode. Wow. Better than I expected it to be, seriously. The first half ran slow imo, but the second half picked up rather nicely and even shocked me at the end. I had no idea it would go down like that.

[Duke-Leto]

Logan is coming back?


Yea he was in the ads two weeks ago and again in this weeks promo. He will be in the next episode.

[JBond]

I agree, I enjoy day episodes more. The last two were an improvement, but still nothing to write home about. This show has seriously overused the words "immunity" and "pardon."

And HOW did Chloe determine they were on the fourth floor, again?

[Tolkien]

I've always wondered when we'd come across a situation where the President was asked to sign a pardon and just said... "no". lol.

[ViRUs]

I agree, I enjoy day episodes more. The last two were an improvement, but still nothing to write home about. This show has seriously overused the words "immunity" and "pardon."

And HOW did Chloe determine they were on the fourth floor, again?

Lol, I have no idea. I could see what side they were on with the natural light, and how it was shining it. But to be able to tell the angle of it with the height or whatever she did......... really?

[the elmo zombie]

I'm rewatching the first season. It's shocking how much this show has changed!

[JBond]

And how much younger Keifer looks in Season 1.

[Tolkien]

Well, give or take eight years ago. Even Haysbert looked much younger in season 1.

[FVD]

I honestly think before long they should have Tony, Kim, Logan...Nina, David Palmer, and Bill come back, everyone. The ones we "thought" were dead will come in at once and Jack would say "I thought you guys were dead?" they'd say "Nope."

It'd be a bad moment, but then we'd get past it and enjoy 24 before it ends. ;)

That's something I'd rather see on Family Guy. And don't forget about Chappelle and George. Damn Bauer having no choice in killing Ryan has to be by far one of the most shocking moments of the series. Definitely a Top 5 Contender right there. Sure he was annoying but man did I feel sorry for the character. :omg:

Ah well time to watch the Two Parter before this week's episode pops up soon. :P

[Duke-Leto]

Wow another shocker, so much for Jack not having any emotion this season =(

[IanTheCool]

24 is back on track.

[donny]

Oh, this show's still on? I just figured after the show got the axe, there would be one more scene of Jack walking into a Denny's, and finally eating something. Right over his shoulder, two nuclear bombs go off, and as the camera pans towards him and closes on his face he says "What, we're canceled."

*Fade to black*

[moviebuff801]

WOW. I'm shocked and saddened at the same time. But....this show IS back on track.

But seriously, can Jack NOT have happiness? Hasn't he deserved it after 8 seasons? I was really hoping Renee would stay alive.

[thebtskink]

With the way the show has been going the last couple of weeks, I have faith that they can end it on a high note.

Life sucks for Jack Bauer.

[FVD]

I wholeheartedly agree. The show really IS back on track. Man what a nailbiter leading up to Hassan's failed rescue. And now the bloody Russians. And how sorry I feel for Jack. Is Kim and his Granddaughter all that is left for him to live for now? Can't believe his brother and father were evil bastards well Philip most of all. Jack really is living a troubled life. Really hoping he gets his happy ending.

[Tolkien]

Jack Bauer is meant to be the hero we need, not the hero we want him to be. To have him end his run with a happy life away from all this drama would be too simple. I hate to quote Dent here, but you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. That being said, I kind of saw it coming once the guy got into a sniping position but was still hoping for the best. Too bad.

[Doomsday]

'Chloe, despite the fact that about 12 hours ago you were just a temp here with the new CTU, and despite the fact that you pulled a gun on a homeland security supervisor after that, we're going to put you in charge of everything now, especially since all terrorist threats are pretty much over.'

Alright, that was just a bit ridiculous.

[Duke-Leto]

'Chloe, despite the fact that about 12 hours ago you were just a temp here with the new CTU, and despite the fact that you pulled a gun on a homeland security supervisor after that, we're going to put you in charge of everything now, especially since all terrorist threats are pretty much over.'

Alright, that was just a bit ridiculous.



Chloe has more experience and better instincts than anyone there. The gun incident was not reported so that does not come into play. What does come into play is the fact that she got CTU up and running in half the time after the EMP and throughout the entire series has been one of the most stable people there. It is a temp thing anyway and out of everyone there that we know of she is probably the next in line anyway since Dana is gone.

[ViRUs]

I agree with Doom, that was kind of a stretch that a computer analyist got to run CTU. How would she even know to run whatever it is she ran on the dead guy to look for poison?

I never really got into the whole Jack and Renee thing. They weren't really that close last year, and it seemed they rushed into it this year. I wasnt shocked to see Renee die, but I didnt see it coming either.

I'm still holding out whether or not this show is back on track...

[Tolkien]

The way she was put in power was a stretch, clearly. But the reason behind it isn't ridiculous at all. She has more talent than anyone in that building. She's been the tech savior for the last... how many seasons now? What got me angry was the fact that this season didn't open with her already the head of CTU. To me, that was the ridiculous part.

[Duke-Leto]

She is really excellent at what she does and her character does probably deserve to be higher up but I just do not see her being a permanent leader. Her people skills are horrible BUT she does have the experience and know how to run CTU properly. As much as I like Chloe and think it would be cool, she wont end up being the boss for long. Then again we only have 6 hours left so she should be running it until the day ends. She wont be running it during the movie though.

[Bobby007]

And how much younger Keifer looks in Season 1.

It's one of the biggest changes in any series I've seen. A close second would be John Krasinski though, he hardly looks like the same person from Season 1 until now.

Loving this season although I haven't seen last night's episode yet. Gotta catch up, but I'm trying not to read spoilers.

[Tornado]

I thought it was a great episode until they killed Renee. **** this show. Just when it was starting to get good again they go and kill one of the few characters I actually like.

[Duke-Leto]

It had to happen. Now Jack turns into a Russian slaughtering machine and ends the season with a bang!

[Tornado]

It had to happen. Now Jack turns into a Russian slaughtering machine and ends the season with a bang!

No it didn't. By no means did it have to happen. It's just another shock move by the show. Killing off Hassan as they did was brilliant; killing off Renee the following week is just a lack of effort. If they wanted Jack to just go crazy on the Russians, there are other ways to go about that.

[Duke-Leto]

I disagree. Jack would have retired and moved out of town with his new woman and 24 would have been bleh. Killing his lady off gives him a reason to stick around and kung fu some more people. HAD TO HAPPEN!

[Tornado]

Nope, sorry. Try again.

[Duke-Leto]

No need to. My bold, red, italicized, underlined, and oversized font beats your normal font. I win!

[Tolkien]

I'm sorry Duke, but you're just dead wrong here. Of all the things that could have happened to get Jack back into the game again, Renee dying DID NOT NEED TO HAPPEN. AT ALL. PERIOD. Stop trying to make the death of one of the few interesting characters logical by saying it was the only way to get Jack into the game again. That's plain stupid. Now if you want it to be in your opinion, fine. But it's not fact. So stop being childish with the "I win" stuff.

[Tornado]

Look, great television is not defined by shocking moments/deaths. I hate that when writers want to change things up, inevitably one of the first reactions is, "Who should we kill off?" or "What crazy thing should we end this episode with?" '24' has been doing this for years, and it has always bothered me. I've managed to look past it because of the quality of the writing, but that hasn't been here for most of this season. It's a problem I have with a lot of shows; 'Lost' is a big proponent of this. Some of my favorite episodes of that show end with the characters just sitting around on the beach, trying to make the best of a horrible situation. I've even audibly said, "Oh give me a break," a number of times as that show has ended. The same goes for '24'.

While I'm very clearly biased as Renee was my favorite character of the series behind Jack (but ahead of others like Palmer, Tony, Michelle, etc.), the show doesn't have to go this way. We've watched Jack kick ass for over 7 years now, if anyone deserves a break it's him. And because of that, I would have loved to see the series end with Jack and Renee leaving for LA to be with his daughter and her family.

I've been incredibly disappointed all season long. I would say, of the 17 episodes which have aired so far, there were maybe three that I actually enjoyed. I guess it's my fault for expecting the show to suddenly get better, because it's clearly not going to happen at this point.

[moviebuff801]

After thinking it over, I've decided killing Renee was indeed a cheap tactic. I agree, there were other options to keep Jack involved and they took the easy way out. I'm angry cause I actually wanted that happy ending for Jack.

If I wrote this episode, I would've had Renee get shot, but nothing fatal. She would spend the rest of the season in the hospital, after giving Jack the info on the Russian she recognized. Jack would then keep going for her sake as she gets treated or whatever.

I think that would've been better.

[Duke-Leto]

So stop being childish with the "I win" stuff.


Being childish and joking with someone are two different things. You can get off your high horse and kiss my behind for all I care buddy. Do not tell me how to post. You are not my father and I have no reason to respect you or what you say.

As far as my opinion, yes it is just that and I am sticking to it. I believe she had to go. The show is over Jack would have no reason to come back. He made that clear to Hastings, his deal was done and he was leaving. No reason to come back at all. With Renee dead he has a reason to come back. It is cliche and gimmicky but that is what 24 has been pretty much its entire run, minus the first 2 seasons. The only other thing that could have gotten him back involved would be his daughter/grand daughter being kidnapped or put in harms way and HOW many times has that happened now? Renee's death was the best option.

[IanTheCool]

Look, great television is not defined by shocking moments/deaths. I hate that when writers want to change things up, inevitably one of the first reactions is, "Who should we kill off?" or "What crazy thing should we end this episode with?" '24' has been doing this for years, and it has always bothered me. I've managed to look past it because of the quality of the writing, but that hasn't been here for most of this season. It's a problem I have with a lot of shows; 'Lost' is a big proponent of this. Some of my favorite episodes of that show end with the characters just sitting around on the beach, trying to make the best of a horrible situation. I've even audibly said, "Oh give me a break," a number of times as that show has ended. The same goes for '24'.


I don't know, 24's surprises usually make a lot of sense and have large repercussions throughout the show. Like, remember when Palmer was poisoned at the end of season 2? Look at the impact that had- ... oh wait. never mind.

[the elmo zombie]

so nobody else was put-off by them having sex?....at 8:30 in the morning.....after being awake for over 24 hours....with Jacks wounds...
And Renee needed to go. you could tell by how Jack acted afterwards that she had him whipped. And anyone in the history of the show that has whipped Jack Bauer has died. Nobody whips Jack Bauer. I did always like her character though. and now Jack is all good and pissed like we all love him best.
PEOPLE IS GON' DIE NAOW!!!!

[Duke-Leto]

Yea it was a tad bit odd. Hopefully she washed up good after the Russian guy had her a few hours before.

Exactly, it's as simple as that really. I agree 100%, I still think it's believeable if Jack was pissed enough that she was injured badly.

That did disturb me yeah, but there were other things that I didnt like about that episode that overshadowed that.

I think Jack will be the new head of CTU that will replace Chloe. They might even put it back in LA so he can be with his family. I think that would be a good series finale.

[Ewok Droppings]

Hey, well at the very least we now know that Jack still has sex. But, the jury's still out on whether or not he goes to the bathroom regularly.

Killing Rene was a boring move. This season seems like they hired a bunch of writers that just wanted to take some shock value from other seasons. There's nothing really interesting going on here. The twists just don't really seem all that exciting anymore. Hassan's death was the only real surprise. Disarming the bomb with 7 seconds left was Hollywood cliché. 24's best seasons are behind them. Since this has been announced as the final season, I can only hope they end it with something interesting. Last season's finale was pathetic at best.

[IanTheCool]

Jack has a helicopter. He can finally get off the island.

[the elmo zombie]

best of the season last night

[Tolkien]

Last season's finale was pathetic at best.
True, but... Last season was gold compared to this season...


But, the jury's still out on whether or not he goes to the bathroom regularly.
Reminded me of an interview Amber Benson did some years back...


AB: It's always better to go to the bathroom than to sit there with truck-drivers' bladder.

BTM: "Truck-drivers' bladder"? What's that?

AB: I heard that truck drivers on these long hulls, they never go to the bathroom, and they stretch their bladders out of shape.

BTM: You're kidding.

AB: Someone told me that. If you wait too long, you can actually damage your bladder. Hence; truck-drivers' bladder.

[Duke-Leto]

Good episode, not great, just good. I was surprised by Chloe's decision but the outcome worked for me. Maybe Cole won't be such a tool after all but time will tell. I just hope next week wraps up Dana for good. I am tired of her horrible looking, scowling face. Makes me want to puke. How Katee Sackhoff became an actress I do not know.

The Logan/Taylor team up was shocking. Taylor has always been intelligent and even under pressure she has been able to not lose it mentally. Last season she made great decisions the entire run even when it came to her daughter. Now she is under a little stress and making stupid decisions. It does not fit her character well.

Next week seems like an action episode though so looking forward to it and hopefully the death of Dana. I will celebrate with nachos and a whiskey sour when she goes down.

[ViRUs]

I couldnt disgree more. I'm not a big Dana fan, but I have no problems with Sackhoff.

I actually really like the whole President Taylor thing too. She is becoming so much like Logan now. Thinking that what she is doing is for the good of the country, that she is willing to cover all of this up. I'm sure a lot of that has to do with the fact that Logan is there, but I still love it.

[Tornado]

Yeah, blame the writing/direction. Sackhoff was fantastic on Battlestar Galactica.

[Duke-Leto]

Eh, Sackhoff is just so manish/tranny looking and that constant scowl she puts on her face just makes me want to slam her face into a table. Thankfully Jack did it for me but the scowl remains.

I hated her on Nip/Tuck for basically the same reason. I never watched BSG though so I can not say anything about her on that.

For those of us who has seen BSG, she's a damn fine actress...

It's not her fault you have the urge to beat on women... lol.

[Duke-Leto]

Not all women, just Katee Sackhoff....and Rosie O'Donnell.

[Tornado]

Well, no one can fault you for Rosie.

[Tolkien]

Wow... just, wow.


Nevermind, I'm moving on.

[Tornado]

lol

[FVD]

I think Katie Sackhoff has been lookin' really hot on 24 compared to her tomboyish ways on BSG.

[Ewok Droppings]

Not all women, just Katee Sackhoff....and Rosie O'Donnell.

I completely agree with Rosie O'Donnell. She's not really a woman, she's a she-man beast. Big difference in attacking those. They can actually beat you up most of the time.

As for the series - did anyone else feel like this last episode was like some amateur writer picked up a temp job and wrote some plot points for the show and should stick to video game storytelling instead?

"Let's give Jack like this really cool MP5 and then we'll totally like make him pull a fast one on Chloe because he's Jack and knows like everything and then we'll make the President totally do the peace deal instead because nobility sucks and then we'll like have them water board Katee Jackoff because water boarding is what the bad secret guys do anyways and then next episode we can throw in some explosions and things!"

It's like they hired some Michael Bay hack to pen this season at times. So many clichés, so few episodes left. Give Jack gun, make cool episode.

Overall, last season had a disappointing ending, the season before that was pure crap (see Wade as most ridiculous "President" ever) and this season showed signs of promise but has been coated with pure cheese too often. Since it's the last season, I feel a duty to finish it, out of respect for having loved the show in previous seasons and watching every episode up to this point, but I think they could have ended it a few seasons ago and been a lot better off.

Oh, one last thought - Chloe, who was so willing to pull a gun to restart the system (or whatever made up crap she did technologically) is now some benevolent by-the-book head of CTU just a mere couple hours later? STUPID! You've ruined 24, quit ruining Chloe's character. :(

I would really love to see the guy who did the 9 part review of the Star Wars prequels do a review of this season of 24.

[Duke-Leto]

Yea I was happy that Jack got over on the waiting CTU agents but I was like wtf how did he know? Even when he said he knows Chloe I said wtf again because she always breaks the rules so obviously he does not know her that well.

I am not expecting the season to end well, probably some lame lead in to the 24 movie.

[ViRUs]

I think this series will end on a good note. I dont know what the movie will do though....


Also, who was that one guy Jack contacted? Were we supposed to know who he was?

[Duke-Leto]

I do not recall his character ever being mentioned before. Michael Madsen probably just ran into Keifer on the street and asked for a part on 24 and Keifer had them throw in some random "friend" of Jack's to have Michael play.

[Ewok Droppings]

And gave him a scar to add dramatic effect to the character.

[Doomsday]

I would really love to see the guy who did the 9 part review of the Star Wars prequels do a review of this season of 24.

I just discovered that guy last week. He's amazing, it makes me want to do one in Indiana Jones 4, and I could go for hours.

One thing I noticed is how President Logan is all sleazy and manipulative again. Wasn't it established in season 6 how he's all reformed, found Jesus, and is trying to be a good man again? He and Jack worked together for a few episodes. Now it's as if they have completely disregarded the events between the characters that season. Then again I'm not surprised.

I think they are banking on the hopes that most people have long forgotten the disaster that was season 6.

It would be great though if that guy did a review on Indiana Jones 4 - I bet he'd tear it apart. Did you see the one he did on Avatar?

[Ewok Droppings]

I wonder where they'll go from here. Seems that they've removed any serious threat from the series and now it's just Jack on a revenge rampage. Isn't there any more bombs placed anywhere or are we just supposed to play out the season watching Jack hunt for answers?

[the elmo zombie]

For the first time in the series' 8 season run, Jack Bauer broke the 4th wall last night by realizing America wouldn't put up with another second of Dana Walsh and shooting the **** outta her. oh happy day

[Duke-Leto]

Yes crap episode but so worth it, especially when he plugged her a second time after she was down. I was hoping that was going to happen but I honestly did not see Jack doing it. Glad to see he manned up and put the skank down.

[Ewok Droppings]

FPJ is a total wimp. If you get shouldered into a wall, apparently that knocks you unconscious for at least 20 minutes. Makes sense. Stun grenade wasn't what knocked him out for the nay-sayers.

No real threats anymore, just Jack and revenge. I think Jack left true character a long time ago.

[HaDoKen]

Yes, I was joking. It was a comment on how I'd like to forget the last three seasons even happened.

[Tolkien]

I got it.

[Duke-Leto]

It has been slightly leaked that the show finale will be a great confrontation. I wont say who/how/why/where/when but it is supposed to be a finale worth closing the show on.

I guess we will find out, I have stuck around this long so no need to quit now.

[ViRUs]

Lol, I got it too. I think it was just HaDoKen there who didnt get it.

[Ewok Droppings]

LOL, yeah, Jack should have stayed in China - I agree. :)

"The May 24 series finale will find Jack squaring off against his most formidable adversary yet: Chloe! “Chloe and Jack are in a real face-off,” reveals executive producer Howard Gordon. “And Chloe has to decide between her duty [as head of CTU] and her friendship and allegiance to Jack. Their relationship gets put to the test in a way it’s never been tested before. It’s a collision course that culminates in the finale. It’s about as hairy a confrontation as you can possibly imagine, and it’s a nearly lethal one.” Playing those scenes was “really fun” and “very emotional,” says Mary Lynn Rajskub. “[It's] kind of crazy…what happens between Jack and Chloe. I’ve never done anything like that.”

[IanTheCool]

Isn't that what they said about the finale of season 6?

I don't know if this season will be able to top having a heart-felt talk with his girlfriend's father.

[Dogbert0228]

Series finale just confirmed: Jack vs. zombie President David Palmer

[IanTheCool]

Spoiler tab please ;)

[thebtskink]

I don't know if this season will be able to top having a heart-felt talk with his girlfriend's father.

I honestly felt that Jack saying ****-you to Heller after that season was incredibly well deserved for what he went through in seasons 4-6. The ending of that season was only diminished by the fact that the season sucked ass.

My dream season 6 would've been Jack brainwashed by the Chinese and his former friends trying to stop him/un-brainwash him/save him. That would've been badass, with Jack as the bad guy. That season was completely blown. We had the horrors of season 4, and season 5 gave us hope--probably the best season they've had, then they blew it.

[Tolkien]

I really want to go back and see season 5 again but I can't find it. Think my brother had it last.

I must say though, season 7 is still better than season 8 by far.

[Ewok Droppings]

Season 7 was good right up until the end... which was nothing. I'm still not sure who dropped the ball on giving us a classic 24 shocker final episode of sorts, but apparently writers never got the memo.

This season, is just pure crap and seems like they took the script straight from video game.

Whatever happened to days when Jack was forced to put a bullet in the head of CTU's cheif or decapitate a bad guy to show that he's serious to another bad guy? Jack, we long for thee.

[IanTheCool]

I must say though, season 7 is still better than season 8 by far.

Agreed.

[Tolkien]

Yeah, that was a really nice shocking moment, Jack taking that guys head off... right in the middle of CTU no less, lmao. Classic 24 right there.

[Duke-Leto]

Jack is back in butt kicking mode for sure. Killed 5 russians with a gun and then tortured the crap out of another. Excellent 24!

Next weeks preview looks awesome too, Jack goes Rambo on Logan and his crew!

[ViRUs]

Yeah, these last few episodes have been back on track. Well, back on track for mediocracy anyway. I've enjoyed the last few.

[IanTheCool]

Yeah, these last few episodes have been back on track. Well, back on track for mediocracy anyway. I've enjoyed the last few.

Yeah, at least the series should end on a somewhat high note.

[Ewok Droppings]

Did anyone else find it a complete lack of a mystery who Jack would actually find the Russian calling? It's not like it was really the surprise they made it out to be.

And now Chloe is suddenly back on Jack's side. Convenient storytelling.

[ViRUs]

Yeah I agree. I thought we already kind of knew that Logan was behind it.

[Duke-Leto]

I hate that we missed the Russian guy getting poked to the floor but besides that a great episode. I just hope that his rampage ends with slicing Logan open for lying to him, although he did know he was lying which is why he bugged him but still he deserves it more than anyone!

[HaDoKen]

I loved the armour Bauer wears when he kidnaps Logan

[Doomsday]

I'm not sure if 24 is back on track or completely off the rails.

[Duke-Leto]

Off the rails but in an awesome way!

[ViRUs]

Lol, I agree. Theres a lot of places to nitpick at, and some loop holes. But I'll still go with it. I dont think it's any worse than the usual 24, we just notice it a lot more when the season is bad.

[IanTheCool]

Lol, I agree. Theres a lot of places to nitpick at, and some loop holes. But I'll still go with it. I dont think it's any worse than the usual 24, we just notice it a lot more when the season is bad.

Yeah, that's probably true.

And I thought that not seeing Jack attack the Russians was more effective than seeing it would have been.

[ViRUs]

Yeah I agree, I liked that touch. Made us feel just as surprised as Pillar was when he called.

[thebtskink]

Yeah, that's probably true.

And I thought that not seeing Jack attack the Russians was more effective than seeing it would have been.

Yeah I liked the complete WTF moment of panning back to the room and they're already dispensed with.

I don't think I've enjoyed 24 as much in recent years as Logan cowering in the limo once he realized Jack was setting up the ambush. It was scene-chewing, overacting awesomeness.

[the elmo zombie]

The ambush was the best scene on 24 in years.

[Dogbert0228]

How many other seasons have ended with Jack on the run or in exile? Dammnit it all. It's my own fault for expecting Jack to actually kill Logan or to see Tony and/or Aaron show up in some key fashion, or to expect anything other than a set-up for a feature or made-for-TV movie.

[ViRUs]

I agree, only myself to blame.

I feel like this finale could have been done SO much better.

Why have Bauer keep Pillar alive only to have Logan kill him?
Speaking of which, If Logan was going to kill himself, why even kill Pillar in the first place? I would think knocking him out would be fine. I'm no legal expert, but both of them were just following orders, they could work they're way out.
Did Jack only record himself and ther was no evidence?
If that is the case, why did Logan even give it to her?
Did Jack just record for someone to see? Or did he intend for it to get to the president.

That last one probably could have been answered, but it doesn't really matter. They tried so hard to have action in this, that they completely forgot about the story. It's a shame 24 went out like this.

The ending was ok though. Yeah Jack is on the run in another country, but he's alive so I'll take it.

[IanTheCool]

So the series ends.... pretty much like Season 4 ended. Oh well, at least there were some really good moments like Jack's video (even though it was pretty forced), and the Chloe/Jack stuff.

[Duke-Leto]

It was a good episode, and a good finale but not great or breath taking or even memorable in anyway. I know they are leading up to a movie but they could have not ended the show in that manner. Basically another finale that is just open ended to get you to watch the next season, or in this case the movie. Disappointing.

Great acting from Rajskub, Sutherland, and Jones. I expect one of them to take home an Emmy for sure.

[ViRUs]

Maybe, but I doubt that the Emmys would nominate two people from the same show in the same category. I would find it hard to believe that none of them would get a nomination at least on the final season. I think Lost will kind of do the same thing.

[ViRUs]

Oh........ well, nevermind then, lol.

[Nightmare Beast]

The ending for me was good but not great. Then again in my mind their was only 2 possible endings.

1) Jack dies
2) Jack escapes

My buddy was hoping that he would become head of CTU but that was shot down once he went on a rampage.

Loved the fact that Logan has severe brain damage instead of being dead. Sweet poetic justice.

[the elmo zombie]

The clock counting down to zero at the end was dumb as hell.

Same here. Wasn't blown away by the ending but Mary-Lynn Rasjkub really seemed to be crying at the end. To be honest it was an emotional ending just for our family.

We got turned onto 24 about 4 years into the series, never really paying it any attention, and then we all got hooked. Some series were definitely better than others but we spent a lot of time watching Jack's exploits and I'm going to miss that... a lot. Never got interested in Lost but now that 24 is officially done there really isn't any other tv show that interests me. Prison Break was the other and its through too.

Didn't like the open ended ending. Just seems wrong that a tv series, who's bread and butter was the television format, is resorting to a movie to really wrap things up for good. They had there run and just be happy with all those years of quality tv. Stop milking the cash cow but hopefully the movie, if it actually gets made, is a proper send off.

Yeah,, the fact that they want to make a movie ruined this. Mind you, they pulled off a decent last scene, i suppose.

[shained]

So gutted its over!!!

Nearly 9 years of my life following Jack and his adventures.

Personally i'm glad they left it open for a film, it would have been more apt to kill him off but then we would have been denied future stories :)

[Tolkien]

I gotta find a video of it but, 24 in Hawaii has always been followed by the 10pm news with them opening with the lead anchor (Joe Moore) a diehard 24 fan, always giving his two-cents about the episode. Anyways, last night it opened to him in tears not even able to read the news. Guy had to literally wipe away tears, lol. He's been a 24 fan since the get go and said that he was sad to see it go. I would've felt the same way as he did IF... this season wasn't so horribly bad.

I don't think this season was too bad. A little predictable but still 24 no doubt about it.

I know what Joe Moore is going through. When I saw the timer tick down to all zeroes it left me... sad. all I can say.

[JBond]

Hmm, haven't we seen that finale before?

Anyway, the one thing I really liked was the President's redemption and her acting. Just wonderful.

The rest was ho-hum. They couldn't even get a few cameos?

[Duke-Leto]

Yea me and mine were were a bit depressed too. Many years spent with Bauer and crew. I did not cry though, just depressed.

Would have been a bit silly trying to introduce either of them that late in the game just for a silly cameo.

Any guesses on what the movie will be about, now that we have an ending to the show.?

[HaDoKen]

Any guesses on what the movie will be about, now that we have an ending to the show.?

probably Jack living the quiet life and then forced back into action

just saw the finale last night and am happy with it, much more happier than the Lost finale

[Duke-Leto]

Maybe he will be working as a handy man in a soda factory in South America only to be tracked down by the US govt so they can get his DNA to make copies of him. He escapes but not before Tim Roth gets some of his DNA and injects it into himself. Later they use Jack's daughter as bait and when he gets to her the military attacks. Jacks uses a sonic boom clap to disable helicopters and other vehicles and even rips a vehicle in half with his bare hands and uses it as a shield against incoming gunfire. Tim Roth shows back up and Jack just smirks and kicks him across the field.

Anyway, that is just what I came up with so far.

[Doomsday]

Kiefer said on a talk show that it would probably take place in Europe, which makes sense given that Jack supposedly fled the country.

Satisfying final two episodes. Very hard to top previous season finales but this was okay.

The movie will probably be just like Redemption, Jack in a foreign country and caught up in some terrible things. Save a sequel for him dealing with Russia going after him or having CTU involved.

So, I can't help but think they're going to find Jack in Africa helping children or something along those lines and call him back into service for the movie. That would be a completely unique and different story than we've seen in the past, much like the ending to this last season was. [/sarcasm]

You forgot the head of your Sarcasm code...so it didn't work. I ended up having to take you seriously.

....HORRIBLE idea.

Lol, I was going to say something like that, but yours probably would have been better.
