How many people have died due to Jack's need to revenge Rene's death?
Innocent people like the guy at the bank? Seems to me our hero has a lot of innocent blood on his hands. Good thing he's "retiring" soon. -
lie to Jack. Just a little bit.
-
and hopefully plier induced pain
-
Dammit!
-
My OCD won't be able to handle it if he doesn't pop up this season.
-
Coincidence?
-
So you can smell the giant load Pres Logan's gonna make in his pants...or will it be enough for Jack to just comment on the foul stench? :)
-
didn't die because of jack's whatever, he died because Starbuck shot him. Jack was looking for the evidence (which he gave to the journalist), he's not responsible for other people's actions.
-
Damn skippy, bud. I can just imagine Jack's reaction:"DAMMIT, Mr. President! The toxic stench from your doodie will kill us both inside of 5 minutes if you don't go to the can and change your Depends RIGHT NOW! You have to trust me on this!".
-
crappy storylines to an exciting last quarter of it. Dammit, couldn't they've built it more logically? There would habe been much better ideas to lead to this kind of showdown... One more DAMMIT!

Logan deserves a little torture this time, don't ya think?
by boynamedsue
Let's hope he gets his just desserts by the end of the series finale next week!
-
in the final hour. Sure there is all this talk about a 24 movie, but I think that is just to make us think Jack lives. Think about it, how will they make a 24 hour movie make any sense in two hours? they would have to make 12 movies in order to live up to the theme.
-
I've been thinking the same thing, too. That whole "24 Movie" announcement (which was tagged on to when we learned the show was in its final season) seemed like a smokescreen.Kill Jack off in spectacular & unexpected fashion, call it good, and let this show take its place in the pantheon of great TV dramas.
-
I said the same thing to my wife last week when watching. His eyes are so blue I could dive in and swim around in them.....but not in a gay way. heh.
-
Blaze of glory, bitches!
That's how Jack and his Sack should go out. Knowing there's a movie coming out completely removes any tension for the finale.
-
You say that about everything. It doesnt make the show any better.
-
The 24 movie will work in 2 hours time. Many movies are based in one day. You just take away real time. Example would be training day. How people cant figure this out suprises me everyday. Its easy. You can also have jack go places and skip around in time.
-
yes I understand that it can be done this way. If they are telling the truth, then that will most likely be the way they do it. All I'm saying is that turning 24 into a 2 hour story takes away the whole point of the series. They would be better of doing it in realtime (like they did in the film Nick of Time). But then you would have to change the title from 24 to 2. This may be a moot, because I still believe the film is a smokescreen so they can kill jack.

ASpparently one of the endings they shot does have jack killed
by bathman
so it's possible they could use that one and the whole movie things is either a smoke screen to surprise people or will follow another character
-
I'd work with her peace initiative. Yowza.
-
2 hours following chloe as she makes potato faces..in 3D
-
Any movie doesn't necessarily have to take place after this season. They could write a movie to take place between Seasons 2-3 just to bring back all the characters everyone loved that they killed off (Palmer, pre-evil Tony, Michelle, etc.). Jack killed + 24 "prequel" = having cake and eating it
-
In past season's, I understood why he wanted revenge. But he essentially knew Rene for a day. He's really going overboard in what he's doing and many people are dying. That's one big issue I have with thjis season, I just don't buy it.
-
Who cares. This is just one more franchise Hollywood has ruined.
-
Oh my God, I can't believe I'm never going to see another new episode after this one...
I will truly miss it!!! -
Jack's rampage is something that has been building up in him for awhile. Rene was just an excuse to finally let the beast out. At least that is how I am looking at it.
-
wig comes off, jack cries "Behrooze" and we go to silent clock and series overIt's a shocker ending for sure but it will have fans talking for years

While this has been the best season of 24 in some time...
by peter franks
it's good to go out on a high note. It's a shame about Renee as she was a great leading lady for Jack and not too hard on the eyes. Logan is such a great character. The guy out Nixon's even Nixon. I'll be looking forward to Kiefer taking Jack to the big screen. With a nice budget, the film could be a really fun ride.
-

The movie will involve jack becoming a security guard at a mirro
by bathman
should be pretty interesting to see what they do with that theme
-
Terry has been alive this whole time!
-
Perhaps he'll drop a couple verses of 'All Caps' on President Logan.
-
He ain't got time to bleed!
-
Will return.
-
you forgot the guy getting out the cab that got caught in the crossfire.
And punto- if Jack hadn't sprung Starbuck these people would still be alive (was anyone caught in the crossfire at the mall?) -
I hope they kill him off as a hero. It's gone way too far into cartoon-world here with Jack turning into Iron Man. It messes with the character they created at the beginning and now ventures way too far into self-parody. Believe me, though, I'm going to watch.
-
But they had to turn him into a bad guy and put him away. How great would it have been to have Jack go find someone for help, and see Tony set up just like Madsen's character after not seeing him for a few seasons? It would've been fantastic.
-
Jack discovers a time machine and suddenly his day gets a whole lot better.

Amazing Maurice, Tony got shot in the neck in season 3
by mattmanreturns
He was back at work a few hours later, with a gruff voice.
-
Just when Jack exacts his revenge and saves the day, Logan rips his mask off revealing his true identity...Chuck Norris! Jack and Chuck face off and rush toward each other fists first...cut to clock - ticks to end!

The jack bauer of season 8 is nothing like the bauer of season 1
by bathman
now, he has gone through alot, plus if we follow 24 continuity i belive season 1 was 25 years ago or something (think about it, there have been like 6 presidents in the 8 seasons jack should be in his 70's right now) I wouldn't say the show has gone into cartoon territory, but the jack of season 1 was a pussy compared to the jack we see now
-
Ha ha, you beat me to it!
"Remember me Jack?"
"Uhmm, did I see you Starbucks yesterday?"
Behrooze cocks the gun. "Yes, yes you did." Beep Boop Beep Boop, fade to black. -
Just a theory anyway!
We will know one week from tonight! -
At least he got a chance for a nap though....
-
No, he wasn't really killed by poisonous gas. He's going to come out from under Chloe's desk in CTU at the last minute and be the deus ex machina.
-
Has a Binaca blast before checking himself out in mirror
*Hi There* -
of the banana delivery guy shaking his fist at Jack and yelling, "Hey! That's my truck!"
What gives? -
That's a big Jack sack.
-
a season 9, where jack never takes off that outfit
-
this is by far, the SWEETEST moment this season!!!!!!!!!!
-
He's just this guy... you know?
-
Like something out of a horror movie. Best single scene 24 has had in years.
-
Logan shit his pants, I bet.
-
Or Darth Bauer. It's a joy to watch Jack kick ass and Logan piss his pants. Suddenly I'll miss this show.
-
That was amazing. It's like if Jason had a gun and only hunted ex-presidents instead of horny teenagers.
-
...priceless...
-
24 probably wouldn't have gotten canceled. When will writers learn?
-
after all this. This show will end as a tragedy with him filling Michael Douglas's role in Falling Down.
But yeah, that sequence was 15 kinds of awesome. -
Dammit! No edit function!
-
Those agents faces, and logan's classic
-
Badaaaaaaaaaaaass! Bauer better ride off into the sunset after the finale. After all the shit he's been through, he deserves some happiness.
-
I screamed out loud. That was so great.
-
I was starting to think it was full of cell phones.
-
No dead agents, I don't think.
-
fans have been waiting for that for years, and jack all suited up like batman was fucking awesome, this season is going to end up in the top 3 seasons of all time by the end
-
please god let it be tony almedia
-
That would be fantabulous.
-
It's what's-his-face. Freddie Prinze Jr.
-
Chloe is the agent.
-
Jesus. Shows how memorable he is.
-
"There is... Another."
-
Aaron Pierce, Agent of SHIELD!
-
oh well, now that he's out of custody maybe he'll at least die before the day ends
-
..just fantastic!!
-
"He'll be back."
-
Now in FULL-POed-Mode!
-
Tortured with electricity and no sleep/food/pee breaks, all within 24 hours?He'll be fine. >:)
-
...but he hasn't been bad this season. cut the guy some slack and stop pissing on him just to piss.
-
he does take you out of the suspension of disbelief
-
Maybe she'll end up saving Daddy.
-
It's all downhill from here, I'm afraid.
-
I was soooo close after they killed off Freckles... but that actually led to some good storytelling, so I can almost forgive the writers for killing her. Almost.
-
After all, the movie is already in the planning stages. Although they could kill him; and make the movie a flashback but that would tie their hands script wise.
-
Even the music sounded like it then.
-
earned this season.
-
It *is* a horror movie. Damn.
-
dead bodies.....the bodies....so many...bodies...
-
Bloody Aftermath of an Offscreen Jack Attack!
-
Jack's just pure Death right now.
-
A painful one.
-
Should have been Decapitated! :(
-
Scooby hasn't got a chance.
-
Logan is fucked.
-
big man is hurt....
-
Enjoy your last 2 hours on earth. You ain't walking away from this one. My guess on how it goes down...? To quote Bon Jovi, "SHOT DOOOOOOOOOOOWN, IN A BLAZE OF GLORRRRRRRRAAAAAAYYYYYY!"
-
another moment in the sun?
-
is going to be like the end of BLUES BROTHERS! Cops, Soldiers, even the Coast Guard is after Jack at this point!
-
was gob gob gobling with delight thinking he'd pulled one over on everyone
*ha ha, blackmailed you, faked jack out and sent him on his way, ha ha jacks wounded and everyone's out to kill him*
Can't wait for his fall -
Jack attacks the UN and Jim Ricker cuts off Freddie Prinze's ear!!
-
I accept your apology. I think Jack is locked in, FULL-PO'ED-MODE!! Fuck with him at your own peril.
-
Next week is going to be epic.
-
after these last few episodes.
-
That Russian dude with that thing in his gut.. pinned to the floor like some insect. Jack keeps on killing! This might end better than Lost.
-
Next week folks, it all comes down to this..
-
too bad house doesn't get any talkback love on this site, tonights season finale was simply amzing, although i still don't know if that was the rel cuddy or not, lolTonights 24 was just brilliant, i still say that by the end season 8 is only going to rank behind season 5 and 1 as the best the series ever offered
-
those scenes with the Russians were something else. We obviously know that the big guy did say something that will be used later. Can't see anything other than a bad end at this point though. Wonder what the end-game was when they thought they were being renewed?
-
it seems like things have gone too far for there to be any 24 movie that is anything but Jack being hunted down at some local around the globe... and that just wouldn't be a good 24 movie. At this point, if I had to venture a guess, I'd bet that any 24 movie if ever made would be some sort of prequel.
-
So, what do you think the big, final 24 twist will be? I mean, for a series that has earned its street cred on its out-of-left-field twists, the final one has to be a shocker, right?
Only thing I can think of that would be a genuine shock would be for Jack to go after the president or for him to be the ultimate CTU mole, waiting, like the Manchurian Candidate (though, of course that is completely unrealistic).
So, any real guesses? -
I'm going to snipe logan. smile, then walk off into the sunset.
-
...the preview for next week. I won't spoil, but THIS SHIT LOOKS OFF THE HOOK !!!!
-
it can only be Jack shooting Taylor in the head with the sniper rifle
-
I think Jack will be some kind of underground mercenary for hire or something.
-
Jack has significantly aged. Unless they are going to cast a "young" Jack Bauer and, quite frankly, nobody is paying to see that.
They can easily do a movie. Jack in a grizzled Harrison Ford-like mode working to save his family. Notice, the family hasn't really been threatened this season (thankfully, they avoided that tired plotline) But the family as a target COULD work for a two hour movie.
I think Jack lives and a movie will be made. -
on the 24th! What are the odds? Oh yeah, about 1 out of 30. Never mind.
-
I think Logan wouldn't be a worthwhile target at this point. For one, he'll likely be in a hospital recovering from the massive shit he took all over himself.
Which means maybe Taylor? That would be a shocker, but hard to believe he'd go that far without some complex last minute sequence of events or complete breakdown. If he DOES go after the pres. there will be no movie and he will go down in, as said above, a blaze of Glory.
Though, I can easily see the Falling Down "What? I'm the bad guy?" sorta' ending, too. -
can move around freely in that loose sheath of flesh he calls a neck and head
It's just barely connected at the face -
He's shooting the Russian premiere. I've commented on the irony of Jack going full-circle and killing the President (as per the (sort of) plot of Season 1) before, but it won' be Taylor. What would killing her achieve? He couldn't even bring himself to kill Logan, after all.
-
I'm pretty sure president taylor will resign as president when the shit hits the fan and the treaty goes to hell.
Logan is always a worthy target. The only reason he's still alive is because jack needed to find out who was really behind everything and so planted the bug and let him go. theres no way logan is walking away from this when this is the 2nd time in 3 years jack has been gunning for him. -
but this episode had some of the clunkiest move the plot forward exposition dialogue since BSG. some fine Bauer moments, but really was that phone call at the end really necessary for Logan to make. The "dont worry, you have nothing to worry about" call, uber lame.
-
Next week. If you're Russian. And you were involved in the Plot. You should probably be "shakin' ee-na-ya boots".
-
I'm not a math guy, but I think the odds would be a little higher than that... wouldn't you also have to ask: what are the odds of the 24th day of a month falling on the Tuesday when 24 airs? Also, what are the odds that the series finale would actually fall on that particular Tuesday? Anyone good at the whole odds thing?
-
He should have known that Jack was going to plant a bug on him!
-
Next week they should kill off everyone bar jack (and Kim). Then have the movie jack is needed out of prison involving Tony in some way who is either the big bad or dies helping Jack. Have the movie a whole green zone political action chase vibe (like it or not that sort of pacing and mix of politics and action would be perfect for the film). The main plot would have to involve the chinese, I never felt like he got his revenge for the years of torture and at the end have Jack either die in some epic way, or returned back to prison. Basically just give it a Bourne 20 years later vibe minus the shakey cam and give kim a cameo and that's all I as a fan would ever want nothing special just a good two hours with the bauer being awesome.
-
Suvarov was THE mastermind behind David Palmer's assassination (Alan Wilson was just a lackey)!!!
-
Oh come on! I was just saying that the odds of a day being the 24th would be 1 in about 30. No big math needed here. Months have 28 to 31 days. So, it's about 30 days on average. Give or take. I don't care if it's 1 in 29.85461 days or 1 in 30.23114 days. It's just a talkback. You're not... Russian, ...are you? ;D
-
either an event or more likley a person, perhaps someone we thought was dead (if nina meyers somehow comes back i will fuck my tv right then and there). They could throw us a huge shocker and have someone like arron pierce or wayne palmer come back and be somehow involved with the bad guys
-
i've been saying all season that if she steps outta CTU and into the field...she's dead. maybe she'll save jack or maybe he'll take a bullet for her. either way, she shouldn't have left the building if she ever wanted to see her bomb-building husband again. at least she'll be able to hang out with edgar again.
-
I really want to know what the odds would be. I honestly think the odds are a lot higher than 1 in 30 that the 24th day of a month would fall on a Tuesday, in addition to a tv show having its series finale on that Tuesday. By the way, I am not Russian, but I play one on TV.
-
Judging from the trailers - this is what happens.
Jack gets the president of Russia in a room. He puts a gun to his head. Chloe comes and tries to persuade Jack not to do it. She shoots Jack in the shoulder and he falls backwards. They take him away in an ambulance. Someone rams the ambulance wearing masks and breaks him free (i'm guessing old friends such as Pierce, maybe even Tony, Wayne, who knows). They drag him away, he gets up on his feet and goes to finish what he started. President of Russia is beging tended to - jack climbs the stairs to the rooftop of a building - lines the President up in his scope, zomes in, smiles ---Beep beep beep - end of show. -
odds of the 24th being on a tuesday = 1 in 7. odds of a show having its ONLY finale that HAS to air on tuesday being on THAT tuesday is 1 in 4, assuming 4 tuesdays to a month. so the total odds are 1/7 x 1/4 = 1 in 28.
i'm probably wrong. -
Odds that the finale will air on
Tuesday = zero. The 24th is Monday. And that seriously was one of the best episodes ever. -
At some point near the upfronts in the past three seasons word comes out about a 24 movie. That way, when the show is canceled, fans don't think Jack will die. This year, when it was leaked that the show was not coming back, the movie got the "greenlight." Then came the obligatory "Jack's gonna make it" talk from the 24 brass. Yeah- he's a goner. Blaze of glory style.
-
I just have to chime in about this whole odds thing. Since the producers of the show could have just looked at a calendar and seen when the 24th of a particular month was in advance ... they could've just backtracked and made sure to START the show on a certain date and thus ensure that it ended on the 24th. No random chance thus no real "odds"
-
Fair enough, but look what we've started! Good Lord! (Officer Barbrady voice) "Okay, people! Move along! Nothing to see here! Move along!" Also, I hope your Russian isn't on 24. Two reasons. 1. Last show. You're out of a job. 2. Hiding will not help your character. No movie for you!
-
Oh, um. It's Monday not Tuesday.
-
Mia Kirshner in the finale, please!!!!
-
One of the things I've always regretted about 24 is it had almost no sense of humor, not even a grim dark one. For example, the season after Jack got back from being tortured by the Chinese government, he wound up in a shootout with Chinese nationals, I forget who was backing him up, but at one point he stopped to reload, and I wanted him to look at his partner and say "At this point, every chink I shoot is like a kiss from Jesus." And then start firing again. I said it in his voice to the person I was watching with, and ever since that day I've wished that moment had been real. In fact I think it was real, bleeding through from an alternate reality. Ah well. Just thought I'd share...
-
F*%ing Awesome.....
The bodies hit the floor like the producers were making up for lost time.
Jack as Jason.....priceless!!!!!!!!!! -
Yeah, I just realized that... I have Lost on the brain this week. Sorry everyone!
-
we'll never know. Or care :)
-
Wayne Palmer had never slept with that married woman. David Palmer would have gotten a second term, Charles Logan never would have acquired real power, Jack Bauer never would have been forced to go into hiding, and on and on and on!
-
Pretty high. Like 1 in 10. Remember, 24 always ends the last week or 2 of May sweeps. That puts it in a very tight window. They would not end a show that they have been playing for nearly 24 (yes, double episodes at beginning) weeks straight at the beginning of the ratings period. So I would say with the show usually finishing before Memorial Day, there is about a 10 day to 2 week at the most window that it could end on. 24th being one of those hotter days.
-
as Jack was having a tea party with the Russians.
-
He learned some acupuncture. I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
-
Well, kinda ruins. The plot is ramping towards "Bauer dies in a blaze of glory killing the hell out of everybody" but it seems it'll be "Bauer gets gravely wounded killing the hell out of everybody and is in rehab long enough for the movie to start". Still, I think the only people making it out intact for a feature franchise are Jack and Chole. All bets are off for everyone else.
-
but the writers are making Jack Bauer look like a hypocrite. During season 7, didn't he beg Tony not to go through with his revenge? Claiming it serves no greater purpose and that Michelle would be disgusted with him if she was alive? Now here is Jack, doing what Tony tried to do in season 7. Does that not make Jack a hypocrite? Hell, Tony even called him out on it(if I remember correctly),screaming at Jack that he got his revenge against Nina, so why couldn't he get his?
-
to see Kiefer and his 80's mullet and the Solid Snake suit creeping around a tanker snapping necks.
-
That sequence is the most riveted I've ever been by 24 in 8 seasons. Seriously, this is the best it's ever been.
-
He'll probably get caught after all is said and done and go to prison... and maybe he'll get to share a cell with Tony. Could be a fun setup for the movie... one or both of them gets pulled out of prison for a new crisis that requires their skills and expertise. Would be fun to see them working together in the movie.
-
The difference is Tony was willing to help cause the death of millions of innocent people to exact his revenge. Jack is just brutally murdering the guilty ones.
-
President Taylor: Jack, don't push that red button!
Jack: I'm going to push the button.
Chloe: Jack, I'm your friend. If you try to push the red button, I'll have to shoot you.
Jack: I'm going to push the button.
Taylor: Jack, don't--
[Jack reaches for the button. Chloe shoots and misses. Jack pushes the button. Camera zooms up, up, up at tremendous speed until we're looking down at the planet Earth. Total silence for a second. Then the earth explodes into a trillion pieces. Silent clock.] THE END -
I know what you mean about the show making Jack appear to be more the contradicting 'anti-hero' as opposed to the solid-square & honest 'hero'. Just six or seven eps. back, when Hassan was still alive and the nuke rods were in the van in Midtown, that special ops team went in to snatch Pres Slumdog and exchange him for the rod's location...something Madame Pres(and by extension Jack) allow. In the aftermath, when the sole survivor of the ops team is in custody, he has a convo with Jack about the greater good being served in his actions(delivering Hassan to the opposition for the safe return of the rods), and Jack tells him it doesn't matter, "HE BETRAYED HIS PRESIDENT", i.e, treason...yet, not but a few HOURS later, Jack is now contradicting the direct orders of the president(yes, she's compromised, but she's still in charge) to undermine the treaty for 'the greater good',i.e, a direct contradiction of the same point he scolded the merc about......
Also, has anyone else noticed the past few seasons that when Bauer tells someone he 'gives them his word' that he either deliberately doesn't or just doesn't have the chance to? It started in season 4 with agent Theo Stoller(Desmond from Lost)and the promise to help him rebuild his case......I blame the writers for that one, but it has been popping up lately....
-
His lover was brutally taken from him after a moment of extreme bliss. Jack simply got pushed too far. Finally.
-
Logic no longer applies. I hope the finale pays off. This certainly is a great build to it.
-
jack has always had a very particular moral compass - doing what is right. disobeying an illegal order, presidential or not, has been his MO throughout the show Fun season - i'll be sad to see it go
-
The build up of the past twenty-one episodes were worth the merciless blood bath we're being treated to now. This is Kurt-Russell-Tombstone-Wyatt-Earp-Vengeance-Ride fun. Those are so few and far between. Thanks 24!
-
But he's not personally involving himself in the mass murder of innocent civilians to attain his revenge, which is something that still leaves him a cut above Tony.Anyway, this ep really was the shit, I had been saying all season that 24 really had to end and that it couldn't hit the right notes like it used to - until the sucker punch of Hassan's slightly-too-late rescue. Now they have done it again, Jack's attack on Logan's car was fucking pitch perfect all the way, that scene didn't put a foot wrong. Gregory Itzin should fucking find a way to bottle that ridiculously awesome "I've just pissed and shat every inch of my pants" facial expression, and sell it to other actors.Also, regarding Jack's fate - I've said for the past few seasons that I hope they don't kill him off in the end, it's predictable and just another cynical turd for the writers to drop on his head. But now I REALLY hope more than ever he makes it, if only so that he doesn't suffer the final indignity of being taken out by a shank from faceless Russian goon #245.
-
And his name is Black Jack. He should leave behind black jacks as his calling card.
-
My GOD that was wonderful watching Logan freak the fuck out in the back of that limo. Gregory Itzin has cemented his place as the best villain in "24" history. He is so smarmy it is nearly unwatchable. Just a great, great performance.
Can't wait for the finale. Not sure why Bauer was smiling as he lined up his sights on the sniper rifle, but it can't be good. -
Gregory Itzin chewed it up and spit it out last night. Voight just ceded the mantle.And the big reveal of what he'd been hiding in the Jack Sack XL was worth it.There has been a cycle of love/hate during the run, but this was a reminder of the good times. Hopefully, they can leave us with a pleasant memory next week.
-
I think it was the first one with Logan back. He gets out of his car at the UN and Secret Service is there protecting him. He then suddenly looks at one of the agents and freaks out, saying that he 'wants that agent replaced IMMEDIATELY.' Was there any reason behind that scene...it felt like it was going somewhere.
-
I know who my money would be on.
-
He's Snake-Eyes. That mask looks a lot like the original, non-ninja Snake-Eyes outfit:http://tinyurl.com/3456dkl
-
I watched the episode on Hulu, where the thumbnail for the ep shows something I considered to be a spoiler.... until it didn't even happen in the episode, and from the looks of the promo for next week, happens then. Can it be considered a spoiler if you spend the whole episode waiting for it and then it doesn't happen?
-
the characters from the Army of Two videogame.(Tyson and Salem)Good call on the Snake eyes resemblance especially since there was over 4 different versions of the figure from Joe's toyline.

THAT's what i call a 24 episode! WOW! If the way to this spectacle wouldn't have been so lousy I could easily embrace this whole season! David Fury's at his best, when he's under stress writing scripts. It just flows out of him like fine Bourbon. I think that goes for Braga also... OK, to let President Suvarow be the bad guy behind all this - well, it leaves another bad taste in my mouth, BUT - in light of this otherwise terrific episode - I'll leave it be. There'd been much more damage before. Blaze Of Gory Glory, indeed!! Jack, make my day - please!!!
-
The look in Logan's eyes as Jack Bauer in full on JASON GARB came stalking towards him. OH THAT WAS EASILY ONE THE GREATEST MOMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THIS SHOW! I can't wait for Jack pop the Russian Prez. He should take whack ass Taylor down while he's at it. I'm telling Jack's going to end up in prison. And the movie will start with them having to get him out of jail.
-
Jack is NUUUUUTS! That scene with him shooting up the convoy? Hooooleeeeee shit. That was complete and pure badassery. Did that bullet proof face mask was SICK. Gave me chills. I didn't believe it was Jack until he spoke to Logan. Either Jack or Chloe is biting it in the finale. I vote for Jack. He can't come back from this shit. If they have to do a movie, do a prequel.
-
but that is the best episode ever. You will be missed 24. But I do agree I see no way of Jack coming out of this one alive.
-
24 will still go out on a high note. Not only has it made up for Season 6, I'm actually more excited for the 24 finale than the Lost finale. Something that hasn't happened since season 5. In the end I think this season will be looked back upon much like Season 3. Slow start- strong finish.
While it seems impossible, this season has the fewest deaths than any other. Think about it. -

that was awesome. out of all the situations where the secret service got their ass handed to them tho, this is the least plausible of them all.. they only had 2 guys, both in Logan's car, for a motorcade of like 10 cars? bullshit
-
Henderson returning from the "dead" to help out is part of the ending. Remember that there was some discussion of helping him disappear and then the very visible shooting.
But let's make one thing clear: if Jack is to die, it cannot be at the hands of Cole. Anything but that. Mandy, Chloe, anyone but Cole. That is all. -
It wasn't a motorcade- it was just one or two cars for Logan. The other cars were just stuck in the traffic in that corridor. So, yes, Secret Service got their asses rightfully handed to them. Besides- who thinks they were willing to take a bullet for Logan? Most, if not all of them, knew and respected Aaron Pierce more.
-
If Jack gets killed by Freddie Prinze, Jr. I will head over to Fox's offices Bauer-style in full urban assault gear.
-
anyone catch House last night?
-
in which it becomes 'ER.' Sucked. Although the last 10 minutes were good, if not kind of forced.
-
There will be a movie, so Jack won't die. Duh.
-
Not to mention most of them are probbaly at the UN building for the conference.
-
He hasn't been on at all this season.
-
Logan is no longer a sitting president and former presidents only get a nominal Secret Service detail. It's completely plausible that is all he would have had assigned to him.
-
hand. Jack won't kill him, he'll only "take him out of action". That gives Cole a huge advantage because he's willing to kill Jack if he doesn't surrender unconditionally, which he won't.But I think Taylor is gonna have a change of heart, kill the peace treaty, resign and pardon Jack. The Russians will probably come after him in the movie.
-
because he kills..every..thing.. he..sees.
-
Peter from Fringe.

hopefully. Its pretty obvious that Jack is gonna kill or try to kill Suvarov and Taylor will either spill the beans or be exposed by the reporter. I hope the producers, writers and Sutherland don't taken the obvious path for the very end and give us something awesome, something unexpected for us long time fans. ie Jack is going into custody for his murder spree, they are walking him out to a vehicle. Cut to a view from a sniper scope, crack, Jack dies. Surprise, its Mandy who pulled the trigger. Mandy picks up phone, dials and cuts to a sunny beach locale where you hear sat phone ringing. Camera slowly rolls left and brings up rear view of beach chair in the sand, we see back profile of character X, who picks up the phone and accepts call. We hear Mandy say "Its done." Cut to front view of character X, who was former, long term character on 24, who cracks a shit eating, ear to ear grin. Fade to black...
-
You heard it here first.
-
chloe will not survive the finale either jack will kill her or she
gets shot in the crossfire between jack and the feds and presidents taylor, suvarov and logan are all dead as doornails -
HAHAHA, ol Turkey Neck scared shitless was one of the greatest things ever on the show. If they can stick the finale, I can forgive them for the Duke Boys nonsense at the beginning of the season (seriously... WTF!?).
-
Deserves an emmy just for his impeccable portrayal of a totally snivelling scared shitless shit. Couldn't spill the beans fast enough, could he??
And Jack will not die. I'm predicting he takes the Russian pres. out and maybe even Yaylor, gets caught but is sprung by Madsen and the two of them bolt the country---cue the film... -
Aaron is the only long-term character left with the credibility to kill Jack. Tony tried to kill millions, Cole hasn't been around long enough and while it would be interesting for his strongest supporter to kill him, I rule Chloe out because she should never be made to fire a gun, least of all at Jack.
The only person who could go one on one with Jack without losing the fans respect is Aaron. He knows what it's like to serve a President, to essentially be betrayed by a President, he knows what a scumbag Logan is and Jack respects the hell out of him.
If Jack has to be killed by anyone, let it be Aaron...then split screen to Kim being eaten by the cougar. -
1st there was already a 24 prequel it was the Videogame on the PS2 it covered what happended in the middle of seasons 2-3. and I loved jack in Full Riot Gear F an army of 2 Jack is a Army of one.
-
I think it was a M-4.
-
Chloe can't kill Jack. Even if she could pull the trigger, Jack's Bauer Power would deflect it on to Cole. Then Aaron steps in. Close up on him pulling the trigger. Splitscreen back to Kim and the Cougar...silent clock.
-
because we all know she craves the Jack cock, so she needs him alive.
-
Can't wait to see the end but I don't want it to end. Always wondered what would happen if he came completely unhinged. The scene in the hotel says it all. Dana was right he's just going kill everyone involved. Now that he got what he wanted out of Logan I bet he's outlived his usefullness.
-
didn't even feel it go in. Like when Apu gotshot in the Quickie Mart. The bullet in his chest saved him from the new bullet. "Oh hot lead, how I've missed your warm embrace."
-
Was worth the rest of what I sat through this season! That entire sequence was just great TV no matter how you cut it. As for the ending, I seriously doubt Jack would assassinate the president of the USA, but the Russian president, oh yeah.. he dead man! And maybe Chloe will be collateral damage along the way, hence the "dark place" Jack is supposed to go. One thing, of course, a gaping plot hole... when did now dead Yackoff Whateverhisnamewas stop and call Moscow for permission to kill Renee?? Seemed to be a rather quick decision just to ensure she did not recognize the paramedic\spy. So that made no sense. Still, Jack of the Attack and Logan losing it was priceless!!
-
I am kinda ripping this off from someone else, but this is really the first time in a long while where we really didn't have any idea what was going to happen next in 24. And that is a wonderful thing.
-
Jack's new tape gets played for Pres. Taylor and a deal is thus struck: Jack won't kill Suvrov on US soil and in return, Taylor tells the Ruskie Pres. that Logan gave him up and now you're Washington's bitch. The Russian assassination squads obviously have a new target now. And then Jack can leisurely make his way to Moscow (revenge being best served cold and all).
-
Jack just pulled off the "If I wanted to kill you you'd already be dead", let Logan live, place secret transmitter on Logan trick, again.
-
Cole killing Jack would be like when Orlando Bloom's "Paris" killed Brad Pitt's "Achilles" ... pure suckage.
Cole reminds me of that line from "Shoot 'Em Up": a pussy with a gun in his hand.
Somehow I see the final scene being Jack walking through LAX and his grandaughter running towards him yelling "GRAMPA! GRAMPA!" Why? Because, going back to the first coupel of hours, that would be Jack "finishing what he started" (going to LA to live with Kim)
I still say even if he gets arrested the movie could ignore history and have a sweet crossover by having his cellmate be Michael Scofield or Lincoln Burrows. -
The 2nd half of this season has been a total thrill ride.Iron Man Jack is epic win.And the aftermath of the Russian suite was fucking hilarious. I wish we could have seen Jack tearing that fucking room apart, killing every ruskie bastard in room and ramming that poker through that cunt's chest. But the cut to the carnage was brilliantly done and badass as fuck.
-
So sorry other fan boys but I find
Mary Lynn Rajskub hot. Not Anne Wersching hot but hotter than Kim Raver or Sarah Winter. That's just me, -
It's weird, but Mary Lynn is one of those women I like but I don't know why. But she's also much better looking in real life, because she really does put on a "Chloe face" on 24. She's also pretty funny.
-
holy shit that was great,the actor playing logan is awesome,glad he got off the mentalist,don't mind the show,but he had nothing to do there..he would have been a great ben linus on lost..in another life
