‘Go To Hell!!’ Antepenultimate 24!!

Published at:  May 10, 2010 5:49:42 AM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!

SPOILERS AHEAD!!



I am – Hercules!!


Things do not end happily for Jack Bauer on his final season of “24.”

The two-hour finale, airing in two weeks, "leaves him in a compromised place morally, ethically and emotionally," executive producer Howard Gordon tells Reuters. "This show is a tragedy, and to give Jack a happy ending didn't feel authentic."

There’s a “24” movie is the works, so don’t expect Jack to perish.

Mary Lynn Rajskub was on Jimmy Fallon suggesting things are going to go from bad to worse for Chloe as well.



“I’m kind of going up against Jack in a big way,” she says at the 35:11 mark. “I’m going up against Jack and it’s huge. Crazy stuff is going to go down at the end.

“I can’t even … there’s some major stuff between him and I,” she continued. “There is crazy stuff, that is true. I’m afraid to even finish the sentence because I … I will blow it. Or get sued. It’s very intense.”

Will Jack have to put a bullet in Chloe’s brain to prevent a nuclear strike or something?

Fox says of tonight’s installment, which brings back Michael Madsen as Jim Rickers and Jennifer Westfeldt as Hassan’s hot blonde reporter girlfriend (for the first time since 8.3):

With only four hours left, a rogue Jack Bauer stops at nothing to determine who is behind the day's most devastating events, and he uncovers an unexpected lead. Guest Cast: Gregory Itzin as Charles Logan; Jennifer Westfeldt as Meredith Reed; Necar Zadegan as Dalia Hassan; Joel Bissonnette as Pavel; Thomas Ryan as Gary Klausner; Sarah Hollis as Susan; Reed Diamond as Jason Pillar; Michael Madsen as Jim Ricker; Julie Claire as Eden Linley; Navid Negahban as Jamot; Graham McTavish as Mikhail Novakovich; Joe Sabatino as Captain Walleki.



9 p.m. Monday. Fox.

    by v'shael

    uncompromising in the face of authority. When she knows she's in the right, she'll face down gun toting FBI agents, or even Jack.

    After seeing Jack say to many people something like "Get out of the way or I'll shoot you", Chloe may be one of the few people who wouldn't get out of the way. And of course, Jack would shoot her. Because regardless of how they feel about each other, they are both absolutely hard headed when convinced they are right.

    Spoilers?

    by gaspain

    Other then some brief spoilers about who is appearing in the episode, and come on those are not really spoilers, this article was a bunch of teases that really said nothing. But at least AndoSonundsLikeAMong thinks that they are some pretty impressive spoilers. Last week Gordon was saying Jack would get a happy ending, he is obviously a lying crack addict who can not remember what he has said the previous day. Does Jack get a happy ending? Who fucking cares? Perhaps to appease the idiots they could have all of Jack's dead friends and family pop out of a van with that fruity Punk'd guy at the end . Actually Jack pulling Ashton Kutcher's intestines out with a towel could provide an acceptable happy ending. Or they could televise Tony's execution, that should satisfy the fans of the fans of that particular traitor/terrorist.

    a tragdey...

    by bizarrojerry

    "This show is a tragedy, and to give Jack a happy ending didn't feel authentic." Why is this show a tragedy? I certainly didn't know it's a tragedy. Jack almost had a perfectly fine happy ending, but some idiot randomly showed up at his door and ruined it. I figure all this really means is that the writers always put off a happy ending because they assume they have another season and can put off a happy ending. Now, with the show ending, that option is gone. So, then we get this "oh, it's supposed to be a tragedy" bullshit. If this story was about a realistic character in a realistic world, I could understand that. But, c'mon, it's not "artistic" to have our hero be doomed forever.

    by ballbag

    Ive come to terms that 24 is wrapping up and Im happy with the way this season has progressed since about Ep12 onwards. 24 has been a fun ride and I will miss it when its gone. Hope Sutherland really gives these final episodes that extra oomph and go out with a bang!

    jack kills logan then goes to jail

    by bathman

    After logan sets up the death or kim and her daughter, jack loses it shoots his way into the UN and kills Logan and then surrenders the season will end with him in solitary weeping. Cut to the movie and CTU and the white house need jack and agree to relases him if he helps them (the movies plot will apparently deal with the president being taken hostage during a trip to europe and the men behind it have a connection to jack). It is a little "Rambo 2" in terms of plot but it should be good, not crazy about them killing kim and logan, that doesn't leave alot of familiar faces to show up in the filmOf course these are all just rumours, but they seem to come from reliable sources

    by koyaanisqatsi

    Yeah I'm happy with where it's all ended up this season, you gotta love Charles Logan. I also like that when we learned it was the final season the whole feel of the show went from being "cliched and overdone" to an "alright, one last time!" greatest hits type of thing.

    My thought is...

    by herr_howard

    It's going to be a showdown between Logan and Bauer. Jack's going to find out that a former POTUS is trying to set him up and kill him. Once Jack finds out, he's going to try to have Chloe find out where Logan is. She'll resist and he'll kill her. Then Jack will go after Logan. Once he finds him, he'll kill him, too. Then he'll spill the beans on the Russian involvement or he'll go on the lam, but he'll be a hated, despised man at the end of this day...

    I agree with those thinking about Jack in jail

    by amazing maurice

    It would make the perfect starting point for the movie.Especially as they'll probably aim the movie to non-24 fans as well. They won't have to give loads of backstory, just a few lines of "There's only man who can help us. An ex-government agent who's now behind bars yadda yadda yadda".Kinda makes sense in the long run. But I don't agree with the whole "24's a tragedy" bullshit. Fuck that.

    even if it is eventually made, and with a hard R rating (but I bet it will be a PG-13). There's really little left to explore in the 24 universe, and some cussing and gore can't make up for that.

    We knew at the start....

    by lock67ca

    ...that there was a strong possibility this was the last season. So the cancellation really shouldn't have been much of a shock. The producers said at the announcement that they had taken this show about as far as they could. So even they knew the end was most likely near. Given what's already happened, there's no way this could possibly end well for Jack. At this point, I don't think a happy ending would work.

    "Play something tragic, Ton Ton."

    by kingkirby

    Jack's wife Teri is killed (Season 1). George Mason sacrifices his life (Season 2). Jack sacrifices CTU Regional Director Ryan Chappelle; Jack chops off the hand of CTU agent Chase Edmunds (Season 3). Jack is addicted to heroin (Season 4). Former CTU agent Michelle Dressler and former POTUS David Palmer are killed; CTU Analyst Edgar Stiles dies during a Nerve Gas attack on CTU (Season 5). Jack's father kills Jack's brother Graem; Jack's lover Audrey is rescued from the Chinese, but loses her memory (Season 6). Former CTU head Bill Buchanan sacrifices his life (Season 7). Former CTU agent (and Jack's lover) Renee Walker is killed (Season 8). Although Jack has lived through these events, I'd say yes, the series is certainly about tragedy.

    by boynamedsue

    DON'T! As was the case with Star Trek TNG and X-Files, the writers and producers will want the movie to attract people who aren't familiar with the TV series and will feel comfortable seeing it as a standalone........Sorry......there will be no continuation of the Tony, Charles Logan, Allison Taylor, or Season 8 conspiracy storylines.......In fact, one recent article written by someone in the know suggests that the movie won't even be canonical with the TV series.

    He's gonna kill Chloe?

    by paragoncomplex

    Him killing Chloe is unequivocally the most shocking thing they could possibly do to end the series. It'd also be the most shocking thing in the history of the series, and this series, in its prime, as riveting and groundbreaking television. If he does have to kill Chloe, at least she'll go down as the longest lasting character in continuity next to Jack and Kim. Back in the day, characters were killed left and right. It was a running gag as to how long the new guy would last.

    'Not Authentic'

    by tomdolan04

    to give Jack a nice send off. Hmm...we'll thats all well and good, but there's a line between 'not authentic' and 'raping the character one more time just for a cheap emotional tug because we can't be arsed to write a cohesive well structured finale'.

    In a fantasy world I wish the Damages team were given a shot at season 8 of 24. Say what you will about Damages but it was MERTICULOUSLY planned in Season 3 (the flashbacks heralding the finale from the start) yet still the finale pulled all threads together AND packed a hell of a satisfying punch which is even more amazing since you already knew at least one major character death.

    You get the feeling the 24 guys (and even the better run of Season 1-5 were guilty of this) just get a chicken and put it on a board of characters you give a fuck about, see where it stops and then write them out of the show

    by darthfloyd

    After being shot by Logan (whom he kills at the same time), Jack wakes up in bed. He hears the shower running in the adjoining bathroom. He stumbles out of bed to see who is taking a shower...it turns out to be Assassin Mandy, who asks Jack to join her and wash her back. Jack's last words on the show: "You wouldn't believe the nightmare I had..." Clock tick, roll credits.

    ...I don't know what show you have been watching. I hope there's no movie. Jack crossed the line last week, and ending the series with Jack's death would be great. I still wish that we could have had a real-time dream sequence at some point in the last couple seasons where Jack takes a nap and is visited by all his past ghosts (Palmer, Nina, Teri, etc.). Tell me that wouldn't have been cool and a nice departure for just an hour from the usual format.

    When you fantasized earlier about the DAMAGES team getting a crack at 24 that prompted an idea that the show should have done a long time ago.They could have jumbled the order of the events of the day the way they do on DAMAGES. Instead of jumping back and forth over several days or weeks or months they could have kept to the single day format but told it in a nonlinear fashion. Not sure how they would have done it but that could have been an interesting experiment.

    by runawayboulder

    Does your local fox affiliate do puff pieces on 24 for their 10pm news? It seems every week fox5 in NYC area does a story on the legacy 24 is leaving behind and stuff like that. I'm kinda curious if they do the same thing in other parts across the country.

    Given the rampage Jack's been on and will probably continue to be on, and the fact we know he's not going to die because of the movie, I'm guessing the series will end with him locked up in some heavily guarded psych ward with slim hope of ever getting out.

    I'm reallllly starting to feel like all the "movie" talk is a decoy for the fact that Bauer will get it in the end and if you're an 8 seasons fan of the series, given all that has gone on this year, I think you'll agree it's the ONLY ending that makes any sense. Of course they'll bring Kim back for the finale but don't let it end sappy, please. Jack has nothing to live for. The system he's given everything for has fucked him up royally one last time.

    by scors54

    Yeah, but that was back when they gave a shit what people thought. they have no reason to anymore, which is why I don't think they give two shits about the really graphic brutality of that scene last night. I mean, let's face it, once the guy said "I killed your bitch", I think Jack was sort of hoping he wouldn't talk. Jack's gone medieval on people's asses before--even his own brother, but he's always been in control--last night, he was so out of control, he even stumbled back on that chair at one point (great little bit by Keifer there,IMO). And when he finally says to himself "This isn't working" it's almost like he's trying to pull himself back in line and forcing himself to think, because he's just all pure rage at that point and getting nowhere.

    They might not have him kill Taylor (although I'd love to see it--the irony of him coming full circle , as chimpjnr said above would be sweet,IMO)but she will definitely be exposed and impeached I think..amnd jack isn't dying or going to prison--he will probably have to leave the country and live on the run, which will set the movie up.

    I liked madsen last night, BTW--I hope we get a little backstory on why he's so indebted to Jack. When he took Pavel down, and later when he told the reporter--"He needs information and he's going to get it", I thought his delivery was perfect.

    Too bad the whole season couldn't have been this good since episode 1. Oh, well...
