‘I’m Going To Finish What I Started!!’ Herc’s Seen The Last 24 Ever!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
A new and interesting documentary about the series:
I am – Hercules!!
First things first. There are no surprise appearances by Naked Mandy, Aaron Pierce, Mike Novik, Martha Logan, Tony Almeida, Wayne Palmer or any other characters from seasons past in the two-hour “24” series finale.
And, yes, this feels like a series -- and not a season -- finale.
Jack is now toxic tool of vengeance. His jacksack is massive. He’s murdered and tortured, but this time not to save lives; he’s out to kill the people who foolishly took out his girlfriend of 15 minutes. Jack’s agenda benefits no one. And he’s not going to be able to talk his way out of this one in a CTU debrief. This is no-win scenario. Things can not and will not end well for him.
The big question is how much collateral damage the rampaging Bauer will do before federal animal control can put him down. The finale is wildly suspenseful, but in a way it’s not been before.
Fox says:
Emotions run high as the harrowing day climaxes with resolute President Taylor closing in on a world-changing peace treaty and a vengeful Jack Bauer taking matters into his own hands for one last and unforgettable job. Cast: Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer; Mary Lynn Rajskub as Chloe O'Brian; Cherry Jones as Allison Taylor; Freddie Prinze Jr. as Cole Ortiz; John Boyd as Arlo Glass. Guest Cast: Gregory Itzin as Charles Logan; Frank John Hughes as Tim Woods; Nick Jameson as Yuri Suvarov; Necar Zadegan as Dalia Hassan; Nazneen Contractor as Kayla Hassan; Jamie Martz as Nate Burke; Eriq La Salle as UN Secretary General; Sarah Hollis as Susan; Reed Diamond as Jason Pillar; Michael Madsen as Jim Ricker; Julie Claire as Eden Linley; Navid Negahban as Jamot; Alex Carter as Nantz; Kathryn Winslow as Ellen Kramer.
Spoilers reside in invisotext, cribbed from my evil mirror self:
2:00pm First shot: Manhattan skyline. Second shot: a focused Cole Ortiz.
2:01pm “Eriq LaSalle” is the last name in the opening credits.
2:02pm "If anyone can talk Jack down, it's Chloe!"
2:03pm Ortiz is headed for Jim Rickers' lair while Chloe is on her way to the UN.
2:04pm "He knew what he was getting himself into."
2:05pm Out in the field, a CTU agent addresses Chloe as "Director O'Brien" and hands her an important-looking folder.
2:06pm "Do you really think we can trust him?"
2:07pm "Chloe, we can't stand by and let Jack assassinate the president of Russia!"
2:09pm "I think it's time she knows everything."
2:10pm "But the good news is Bauer doesn't know that."
2:12pm A smug Charles Logan: "Thank you, Jason. It's been a long road, but we're almost there."
2:12pm Ha! Great reveal with Jason Pillar (Reed Diamond).
2:23pm Weird to see everybody jumping to execute Chloe's orders for a change instead of arguing with her!
2:24pm Darkly funny and unexpected Bauer command.
2:25pm "I am judge and jury!"
2:26pm Yikes! After the Russian bloodbath last week, it's impossible to know now where, if anywhere, Bauer is going to draw the line!
2:31pm "President Taylor needs to know!"
2:36pm Hardball!!
2:44pm "Can you really take that chance?"
2:47pm Homage to season two!
2:49pm "There's nothing left for either of us to say."
2:55pm LaSalle plays the UN Secretary General with spectacles and one thick accent.
2:57pm Tense end to the almost-last hour! "Who else knows??"
2:58pm Another signature Bauer tactic I don't think we've seen this season!
2:59pm "Which means you have to do exactly what I say. Do you understand? Do. You. Understand??"
2:59pm 8.23 ends with Bauer smirking a very dark smirk.
3:00pm "The following takes place between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Events occur in real time."
3:03pm "Because you helped her come to that understanding."
3:07pm "Send him in."
3:11pm Whoa!!
3:18pm ohshitohshitohshit
3:25pm very suspenseful! (where is this going??)
3:42pm I am reminded here of, of all things, a "Survivor" tribal council!
3:53pm "I've already done that."
3:58pm "I don't know what else to say."
3:59pm "Shut it down."

and what a time to be! unless someone beat me to it

Stick your LOST finale up your ass!This'll be epic.
-
not the most clever way to end it... but I'm not gonna lie. it moved me.
-
Did you honestly think you were 3rd in a LOST finale talkback? ;)
-
C'mon Herc, put it on a scale!
-
Not looking good for Chloe.
-
Fuck no.
-
We shall miss you. You may have lost your way once or twice, but you were nearly always entertaining.May you live happily in boxset heaven where you belong.
-
I haven't seen the Lost finale yet!I guess I'm gonna have to not come here until I've seen it.

Please God, don't let me be disappointed with this one too.
by jedimast3r
LOST was terrible.
At least 24 does not suffer the weight of the unexplained plot conjurations. As long as the writing stays true to the Jack Bauer of days past, as well as the Jack Bauer past established in this series, this ending can not fail.
I can buy that Jack was thrown off the deep end by Renee's death. After all that has happened to him - his past as an anti-terrorist agent, Teri, Nina, Tony, Chapelle, Palmer, and on and on...one man would eventually crack. Especially when he finally wanted something for himself, something like Renee. You'd have to think that by now, something has to set Jack off, and this was it.
Still fucking disappointed by LOST. -
Nobody's going to accept some flashback story for the movie(s). Also, I've read that the movie won't take place in America, so I'm guessing Jack may not be welcome there anymore.
-
OK, I'm outta here.
-
The body armor was FUCKING WIN. I think for the first time Jack was truly menacing and downright fucking frightening. A freight train of cold, calculated death, in a Darth Vader like SWAT mask.
Awesome. Would just love to see him eviscerate Taylor in Bill's name. -
Sorry, as soon as I posted that I though "Oh shit".Still, Jack didn't really die, he went away with the aliens at the end.
-
I mean, last week it looked like he had gone off the deep end, but then at the very last second it was all a plan to record Logan and the president of Russia (remember he told the reporter to go public if his plan failed.. the video file was like a back-up). Not that I mind, Darth Bauer is awesome (and the sword was a nice touch).
-
That's pretty lame.
-
spill the beans spoiler boy
-
The LOST finale was great. Up until the last 10 minutes.
Will internet discussion always have to be based around 'squee' and 'haters'? It's getting pretty pathetic and childish. -
Just fanning the flames. That's what message boards are all about!
-
y'all scoot over to the Lost talkback instead
-
Hey Otto...JACK, HURLY, LOCKE, KATE, SAWYER,JACK, HURLY, LOCKE, KATE, SAWYER,JACK, HURLY, LOCKE, KATE, SAWYER,JACK, HURLY, LOCKE, KATE, SAWYER,JACK, HURLY, LOCKE, KATE, SAWYER,JACK, HURLY, LOCKE, KATE, SAWYER...BLOW ME
-
Be flying down there for some R&R this week and if there are any big 24 finale parties on the strip might be fun to attend rather than watch it from the hotel room.
-
For 8 years (days) we've seen Jack do absolutely anything for his country.
It hasn't been a secret that the writers don't think a "Happy Ending" fits Jack's history.
So the outcome (should be) clear: Jack will be exiled from America.
What worse way to punish a patriot?
Even worse (on an emotional level), his plan to go live with Kim and her husband & daughter will be dead in the water.
Worse yet (but in a GOOD way for fans), Jack will literally be "A Man Without A Country". While that means no protection from the tons of enemies he's made over his career ... it also means he answers to no one. He has enough contacts (as proven with Michael Madsen's character) to keep his Jack Pack well-supplied.
Hey, maybe the movie will have him hook up with Tony, Chase, and Doyle (Rick Schroder) and form a mercenary crew?
Wait ... what?
What do you mean "it's been done"?
Oh yeah ... The A-Team!
dangit... -
source of jerk material!
-
DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!
-
How could they segue into the movie? Id like to see him pound Logans head into pulp then ass rape Madam President. SHe turned out to be weak sauce. MAybe Jack will lose an eye, disappear and change his name to Nick Fury....then....naw! Too much to hope for!
-
Someone once started to tell Jack Bauer a knock-knock joke. He not only found out who was there, but who they were working for, the location of the bomb, and the identity of the mole within the organization. *rim shot* Thank you very much! Tip your waitresses!
-
..he probes at least one gunshot wound with his thumb to get information, it's all gravy. It really should end with Jack dying in a final shootout, finding God, then shooting Him in the leg and demanding answers as to why his life was so fucked over.
-
I'm sure someone mentioned it last week, but this is the first time in years when I really have no idea how this is all going to turn out.Can't wait.
-
Must not highlight...!
-
"Better than “Alias”?
Just barely."
Fucking. LOL. -
As I said last week, I am just as excited about tonights 24 as I was about last nights Lost (also, what the hell are people coming to aintitcool for it they haven't seen Lost yet? Of course it will be spoiled, it's the internet) And I have no idea what will happen, just the way I like it. And I still think it is possible that the talk of the 24 movie might be setting us up for a shock when Jack dies. Or I am all in favour of a prequel movie. Jack Bauer kicking ass in Kosovo would be awesome.
-
I don't think he would have liked what was behind that door.
-
Maybe a cameo of Hillbilly Johnny Drama?
-
Now its talkback gets buried 2500 to 39 by LOST. Funny
-
Damn shame that season 8 blew so bad.
-
Interesting phrasing there Herc. I have a feeling that Jack is going to be accidentally responsible for President Taylor's death while targeting Suvarov and/or Logan. In the end, Jack will attempt to commit suicide but Chloe will talk him down....
-
Are people coming on here just to say i dont like this show, or care about.If you dont care why post attention seeking whores
-
Dalia Hassan finds out what really happened, gets really pissed, and only agrees to sign the peace treaty if Jack is given full immunity. (Or she gives Jack asylum in her country).
-
New-Agey, spirity, stuff about whappens when you die and stuff.I've heard that's BIG.
-
So Jack finally learns that the ends don't always justify the means. Now that he's worked that out, he can step into the light, since we all know he died back in S2, and everything since then has been a contrivance of his unconscious mind to get him out of purgatory.
-
Heh, the forum Nazis at the Fox community boards always used to get pissed off about that, too.
-
Keifer Sutherland really aged since season one. Looking at the clip of him when he first met then Senator Palmer and what he looks like now, he must have aged 20 years. Keifer all that hard boozing and smoking is really doing a number on you.
-
And AICN missed the superior ending for Ashes to Ashes. Is that because a bunch of halfwit writers fucked up Life on Mars for you?
-
and daniel mays was a revelation.
-
I'm still dazed, I worked it out weeks ago. Poor old Viv. Daniel Mays is a superb actor (certainly above the dodgy character acting in Hustle), the whole last series was achingly brilliant. No endless seasons, no fake promises, just a conclusion that shook you to the core.
-
There are few things if ever I post on this site (as much as I enjoy it). But there are few shows that ran this long that I've seen every episode of. I'm not professing that it's been great all this time, it hasn't. Really it hasn't. But I will miss old Jack. And the show. This site was home to THE best talkback about 24. Nothing beat the Season 5 talkbacks. I would sit here in the office, in tears, laughing at you guys. So to all of you still around. Thank you.
-
finale performance. Make a new account if you have to, we'll know its you.
-
I can't freaking wait for this show tonight! Bauer's going out in a blaze of glory! This show is going to show how a great show is supposed to finish! I can't wait!
-
get over yourselves you sad sad losers. None of you are John Wayne! Shittest, most overrated crap on tv ever. A joke. I pity you all. Just had to log in to say that, im laughing my ass of at how pathetic you all are to suck the festered balls of of this. Dont be a troll and start complaining because i have an opinion.
-
that I've never seen as much as one complete episode of "Lost". God help all the longtime fans of that show who just got supremely blueballed. That talkback is gonna stretch out to 5000 posts, with the greatest concentration of fanboy whining since "The Phantom Menace" burst many a bubble."24" has been my favorite TV show since I began watching in Season 2. God knows the show has had its ups & downs, but I will always be thankful to Robert Cochran and Joel Surnow for creating it, and especially to Kiefer Sutherland, for breathing life into one of TV's most memorable characters.I hope it goes out with a bang tonight, but if it doesn't... then so be it.
-
That tonights 24 will be a better series finale then both BSG or LOST. Not because 24 has always been the better show but because its just going to be pure action and no mysterious answers that will almost always let the viewer down. I will always miss Lost. I find myself thinking about it all day today. I loved those characters.
-
it's little discussed here but she and daughter will find out about who's responsible for hassan death--not sure what impact will be, but it could torpedo peace pact that includes russians and/or dalia could use the truth as leverage against prez for something, as donkey poster suggested.
I hope black jack bauer is ok--he is a genius. come back, shane.
-
24 and STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS are the only two programs I am hooked on watching weekly, so suffice it to say that I am damn sad to see Jack Bauer head off into the sunset. I will miss this show. Here's hoping that tonight's two-hour finale is a huge chance for Jack to eliminate the bad guys with extreme prejudice. If there's any justice in the universe, we will get to see Jack blow Charles Logan's brains all over the wall. I will stand up and cheer. Thanks for all the thrills, Kiefer and Co....and I hope we don't have to wait long for the movie!
-
will give him refuge there because there will be nowhere safe for him here. A debt to him for getting her husband's real killers. That's my prediction. Setting it up for the eventual movie.
-
...and this is for the clown named Dick With Teeth...no one cares about your fucking opinion to begin with. I guess now that 24 is finally reaching its end, that will give you more time to watch and rewatch all your Hannah Montana dvds over and over and over, you limp-wristed pansy.
-
Cellblock 24: Former CTU agents gone bat shit Jack Bauer and Tony Almeida build a underground prison empire. Seasons 1-3 would be much like Oz. In the season 3 finale, with the outside help of Naked Mandy and her newly seduced girlfriend Kim Bauer (now a recovering coke addicted stripper), Jack and Tony escape prison and are on the run. Season 4-5 would be like Prison Break (but much less gay) and have Jack, Tony, and the Lesbian Duo on the run from the law. By the end of season 5, Jack and Tony have completely taken over the city of LA and formed an army rebels. Seasons 6-8 would follow Jack, Tony, the Lezzy Trio (they expanded!), and the 2010 Stanley Cup Champion Philadelphia Flyers as they start a revolution and attempt to overthrow the government.
-
Kinda kills the otherwise huge suspense for the final two episodes. We know Jack won't die...UNLESS...Fox announced the film as a ploy to get people's guards down, and THEN JACK DIES AT THE END OF THE 24.
But that would be too smart for Fox.
I still imagine it'll be good, though. It can't be an all happy ending though; Jack's gone down an unmistakably darker path the last few episodes than ever before and he'll have to pay for it in some measure.
BRING ON TANK BAUER AGAIN. -
Says the guy who's excited about a fucking hitman sequel. We're sad for diggin on jack bauer, we have "john Wayne" fantasies. First off John Wayne was a fucking pussy everyone would much rather be the man with no name. You apparently hero worship a cock topped submissive bitch altar boy of a hitman.
-
You summed up how I feel
-
i dont know what Hanna Montana is sonny, had to google it. Did that one just get projected from your inner repressed desires? The fact is im sorry but this show is fucking clown shoes for clowns! I cant help but find it so funny you lot cant accept its been a crock of shit from season 3, if not the beginning!
And jesus christ, theres no need to get so agressive, you lot a juvenile and touched bunch, lol. This shitty show and these loser fans make me chuckle is all, i've watched it from the beginning, just gave up, didnt bother following it...then i caught up recently and my god what a laughable piece of trash. You lot need to get a life and stop giving so much up for a tv show.
Hitman? Hitmans bold, and hitmans a videogame. I never said i liked that piece of shit movie, like i never said i like this ego-jerk--off-for-juveniles, 24 (i actually did like it at first but they shitted it up when its was clear this was about anything other than really cool metal gear solid like basement dwellings with a pistol and a whole load of tension, thats what i like and it just fucking fell apart) that is easily more of a joke given the fan adoration than the crappy hitman movie. Thats how crap 24 is, and ill tell you sad lot who need to have your mind set free in the final hour! Don't be reactionary and trolls, c'mon feel the non fake/mastubatory looooove!
Douchebag show for doucebags who inject steroids into their cock and go around trying to dick people just to feel alive and alpha male.

He sounds like one.

For the movie, I want it R rated and Chloe+Mandy scissoring
by turketron_2
MAKE IT SO
-
Jack fights some badguys at the zoo, and uppercuts some henchman into the cougar pit. RAWR
-
Then you've somehow managed to avoid the billion advertisements littered across television, billboards, and magazines. Congrats, you're an anomaly.
-
You don't put Jack down. Jack puts you down...and oyu don't get back up. Ever.
-
that the dumb ass President gets impeached... I haven't read the spoilers and won't.
-
the Lost ppl need to go back to their board... go watch more of that Fantasy Island meets Passengers film.
-
there were talks of a 24 movie... with Jack being in Europe somewhere. My guess is after the shit hits the fan tonight he gets out of the country. Who knows?
-
Or am I the only lucky one?
-
I'd like to direct everyone to the talkbalk for the Hitman Sequel in which you exclaim that you're excited for a sequel. You're clearly a Brit and a gamer. Metal Gear is a great game but Solid Snake is just rip off of Snake Plissken from Escape From New York.
You don't think that your vicarious thrill seeking by playing video games where capable military men and killers for hire isn't the same thing as getting vicarious thrills by watching a show like 24? -
My new hope for television is that each new series finale will be worst than the last. Lost out did BSG and now 24 has to outdo Lost. Maybe Jack could turn into a werewolf in the last hour. And his brother could come back to life and kill him. Then it turns out that Jack was his brother all along and that the rest of the cast is dead.
-
You hope President Taylor gets impeached? Yeah, have Congress get together and impeach her ass in TWO FUCKING HOURS.That'll happen. It's a wonder you weren't on the writing staff for 24 with that fucking knowledge of government workings.
-
Seriously, fuck the haters of either show. The finale of LOST was great ... a moving 2.5 hours and a fitting end for the characters. I am also very excited for the 24 finale tonight. After that? Damn ....
-
This will be Great! People will still bitch about it though, just like they did with LOST.
-
Lost is nothing but an exercise in bad writing. Fans invested so much into that shit that they feel compelled to say they still liked the cop out ending.
-
can't coexist? Hell going to miss Law & Order too, so many shows down in two days.
-
Do we really need to talk about it here too? This talkback should be reserved for 24 bitching only.
-
Seriously. You fuck holes who project your opinion on to everyone else as if it's fact are fucking irritating. If someone like the ending of LOST it's only because they invested so much time into it that they can't handle it being bad?? FUCK.YOU.Get the fuck over yourself. Your opinion is not the be all, end all. You are shit.
-

Waiting for the 24 reboot press release to come out..
by alice cooper stalker
-
That fucker needs to die.
-
It will be awesome if she finds out about Taylor's involvement and fucks her over publicly at the signing. Hassan quietly offering him asylum would would be cool, but might not make a lot of sense since Jack would probably be a prime target to some opposition within the IRK.
-
and you assume they are somehow sexless because they dont sound like lot: a bunch of serial masturbators. Anyway, WTF!? That one was uncalled for. I'm sick of people like Jub Trolling. This show is shit. You lot are childish and sad for liking it. Someone has to call it in a finale forumn like this! What else do you expect?
-
my apologies: that really was dickish of me to go making a spelling or punctuation error. But not nearly as dickish and limp as people who think this show is still any good come on don't deny it!
-
Really not worth any more of a response. That is all.
-
ive stuck with this show along time and every much right as you do to express my opinion and dissatisfaction with the direction the shows taken. Now quit being so sensitive over your whole life. Jeez you can tell all you 24 fans have a serious problem with dealing with reality. Massive 24 fan until Season 1, 2 got dodgy...and it has been a hack program for boring losers since. That is all.
-
...he, nor the writers have given a shit about since season five.
-
Chloe should call her.
-
May 24, 2010 7:04:37 PM CDT
Madsen should be waiting in front of the dorr with a shotgun.
by shermdawg
-
That'd work too.
-
turns out everything after season 5 has been purgatory
-
He's like all grown up and everything
Still working on the big boys voice though -
That's the problem, stupid fuck. It's not just an opinion, but attack on anyone who happens to have a different opinion. "24 sucks" is an opinion. "[24 is a] hack program for boring losers" is a comment from a pretentious fuck who values his opinion way too much. All too common on these boards. So yeah, you are stupid and boring.
-
hopefully he sticks around so we can see him in the movie, maybe bring back rick schroder
-
Ugh, no. Plus he's blind now, isn't he? Rather see Chase.
-
Jack just slides into the frame.
-
These last two episodes. Next thing you know, they'll kill him and...wait...he already returned from the dead once already, didn't he?
-
i think he was just wounded but then we never saw him again, 24 has had so many characters that only appear on one season, only jack has been on all 8 seasons, thats strange for an 8 year show
-
never a truer statement
-
man raw sunlight turns her into an ogre
-
even indoor light isn't very flattering
-
While im impressed it seems like you've actually put some thought and grain of intelligence and held a long attention span on that one; with all due respect if you can't figure that one out yourself (i wont provide the answer incidently) then it makes perfect sense you like this stupid show. Nothing makes sense! But people always try to rationalise it: "Oh Jack got on the subway, now he's in a car since the break. I guess he must have just got out of the subway and is now in a car. Somehow logically. As opposed to the writers being confused, full of shit, having no idea what their doing, and just expecting us to fill in the gaps for them"
I just think its getting beyond a piss take for myself and you guys respectivly that were expected to buy this shit that the writers have a clue what their doing and don't just go "Well what the hell are we supposed to do with this mess we created now!? Wait...Wouldnt it be cool if Jack went all Jason Friday 13th this episode! Fuuuuck YEAH".
Oh and i might sound like a brit but i aint one though i live here. Most Brits piss me off (lol), they defend this shit for not being an entirely right wing load of cum rag flung in your face trying to pull the wool over your eyes, or go on about how they love lost. I dont know which i cant stand more
Fuck 24. Fuck anyone who worships it. Peace and love and harmnony to you all though. -
that guy has a habit of killing shows, just ask dollhouse and journeyman
-
"Tell your daughter 'Jack says Hi.'" >:)
-
I always liked her character but this year she just seems like a dumb cunt, i mean she is making stupid decisions all year long, they should have just brought in a new president if they intended to change the characters personality...alo Hassan's wife is butt ugly, no wonder he was cheating on her
-
May 24, 2010 7:35:25 PM CDT
What the fuck is that look on the Presidents face?
by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
Almost like she farted
-
is more of a scumbag than President Logan.
-
Palpatine, indeed... I think her eyes were glowing red above her snaggle-toothed grin! >:)
-
before it was obvious she didn't give a shit about anything but her own plans, but I never saw her as threatening to go to war over not getting her way. Goddamn. Is it odd I'm hoping Jack goes all John Wilkes Booth?
-
yeah she just went over to the Dark Side..either that or a bad case of cramps and she's just cranky....not sure which
-
I imagine everyone has the worse garlicy, last nights booze breath
-
In the last half hour, Jack gets shots in the chest with no vest and bleeds out. We go to commercial at 9:43 When the show comes back, there is no clock introduction. Jack is in Heaven, Or Maybe Hell. He gets to stick it to both Teri and Renee at the same time, but neither are happy about the situation. The show ends as the clock strikes Infinite.
-
all those people eat is cury and camel ass, president taylor would most likely have cheeseburger and mint candy breathe
-
within a half an hour, I'm hooked.If they all end up crying and singing kumbaya at the end, I'm gonna put a brick through my monitor.
-
The madder jack gets, the bigger his Jack Sack gets. By the end of the episode, he'll be carting around a PODS.
-
now you know where her daughter got it from.
-
May 24, 2010 7:42:46 PM CDT
Jack moving pretty well after losing half his blood
by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
Maybe he is a vampire
-
far too emotional
-
would have gelatinous turkey neck breath overlaid with the scent of cowardice, fear
-
Bullshit, I say.
-
i bet she blows up subarav and taylor
-
... he's just this guy, you know?
-
a billion bucks and a bat suit. Fuck yeah.
-
"So yeah, you are stupid and boring"
That's the problem, stupid fuck. It's not just an opinion of yours, but attack on anyone who happens to have a different opinion.
So yeah its you who's being stupid and boring mate. And a troll. You just attack me over saying something like its fact then you go do the same? This is why dumbassess like you lap this poor shut up. You just don't get it do you? Anyone who digs 24 is a joke to me, so f all of you lame 24 fans, you need to be told. (lol!) -
... a bomb on her annoying ass daughter and send her to take out Subarov and Taylor.
-
Dude, what the fuck? Just because she's Muslim, doesn't mean they're actually gonna her carrying an explosive device which leads to her death. This isn't Lost, y'know.
-
flashsideways, baby!
-
has a plan. A plan that might screw things up a bit.
-
to turn out to be an angel of god, the whole time. Just watch!
-
9 out of 10 mulams will be carrying bombs. this is fact and it's not out of the ordinary to assume Hassan's wife is going to kill subarav and taylor with a suicide bomb
-
wheres' carter
-
Slaps her hard.
-
I've never felt the need to comment on this site, however I was compelled to say something about bath mans comments about daliah hassan. I will NOT sit back and allow anyone to call her "butt ugly". Dude...are you serious? The brawd is hot (big honkin beak and all)! Don't believe me? Just google Necar Zadegan and look at her pics. I'm out!!!! Oh...and chloe needs to put down the gun. She ain't gangsta.

Reminds me of a lanky Marina Sirtis.
-
Logan is always putting on, taking off ties
I guess the turkey needs to breathe -
with a tie.
-
He's smiling!
-
are actually pretty hot. Mrs. Hassan is a lot more attractive than a lot of other older women.
-
it's just not there for me, i would infact say she's ugly giant nose, very skinny head and lanky body, thats not my vision of a hot woman
-
...makes him a better actor, he was definitely outacted by Stephen Root on last week's Justified.
-
*sigh*
-
Kill the Russian president right before Jack is about to shoot!! Please let it happen, please please!!
-
Bauer is a miracle worker
-
None of this would've ever happened.
-
that was all i asked of for this last episode :'(
-
and scores!
-
I was cracking up with him trying to stumble his way through what he assumed would be Subalov's head exploding in a minute or two.
-
so no jack for the last 50 mins..unless he gets up and starts punching people
-
All the great catch-phrases will be in this episode... :)
-
Never thought I'd see THAT happen! Fuck, I thought it was a head shot at first!
-
I've seen what those things do later in life
They start growing like those firework snake things
Just growing and curling and growing and growing and curling and growing -
is that why Chloe's always making that face?
-
he seems to be laying there as part of his plan, i'm expecting him to jump up any second and yell dammit
-
and shit!!!
-
Mike tyson aint got nothin on me!
-
Fucking assholes!!! Just listen to what's on the card. Dammit!!
-
Snap in to a Slim Jim!!!
-
Could not even give Chloe two fucking seconds! Hell he could have thrown up on the dudes to stop them!
-
Even on a gurney, Jack is NOT the man with whom to %@*#!
-
Dammit! Dammit! DAMMITTTT!!
-
are going to catch up and nail Logan and that fucking Russkie!!

This siren like hum building up in the Logan scene is great.
by shermdawg
-
Logan is a slick, sly motherfucker.
-
if she grows a conscience in the last 40 mins
-
And do some turkey hunting!!
-
She will be the reason no woman gets elected President for a long time. Just like Palmer paved the way for the O Man
-
beeyotch
-
Think she's had enough.
-
Did they get the wrong card? That isn't a conversation Logan had!!
-
or was jack just bluffing and this was his plan all along
-
kill Logan. Taylor!!! Play the recording!!! Live.

They gotta redeem her so she will repudiate it
by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
-
so you realize I was the guy from ER.
-
No clue
-
"What do you mean this is the LAST episode?!"
-
Here he is now. Mr. Fan have you met Mr. Shit?
-
an extra hour? They can't sew this up in 30.
-
OR ANY OTHER DAY!!!
-
Together again!
-
you can't say that on the last episode..it's not fair
-
you know this to be true
-
Because this is better than its been in years.
-
Why is this all about that bloated bitch Taylor? Who the FUCK cares? Jack has minimal screentime in a SERIES FINALE?
Fuck this disappointing bullshit - 2 of my favorite shows blew goats at the end. -
Eat IT.
-
No shit Sherlock
-
logan the ultimate coward
-
did that just happen?
-
You can call me....PRESIDENT ARSEFACE!
-
won't be in the movie? Just a feeling I get.
-
cleaning crew gonna be hella pissed
-
maybe he can also survive a gunshot to the face?
-
THIS is what happens when you FUCK Jack Bauer in the ass!!!
-
If this wasn't the finale, I don't think it would've gotten this good again. I think being told they weren't being renewed kinda put a fire under their ass.
-
Jack, having been shot, stabbed twice, electrocuted and run around for 24 hours gutting, pokering and generally slaughtering everyone he can get ahold of, STILL manages to stay alive and conscious after the ambulance carrying him gets bombed and kills every HEALTHY person on board, yet Jason gets taken down and murdered by Logan, who then kills himself???Silly, silly 24.
-
...he missed. Or the Turkey Neck deflected the bullet.
-
But will you be in line at the theaters? I sure as hell will be.
-
jack we were just kidding at the hospital...didn;t think you'd go all mental
-
to suck dick in federal pound me in the ass prison with half a face. But I'm sure he'll try.
-
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
-
damn network TV
-
Could be worse. There could be smoke monsters.
-
whether it be tony or chase or micheal madsen, instead jack is saved by a phone call
-
no more turkey neck gloating
-
Damnit or "within the hour". The damnits were low this year but the within the hours were on full command so maybe it's about even?
-
SHUT IT DOWN...SHUT IT DOWN FOREVER
-
Glad they didn't kill anyone else off... Logan's a vegetable, which is fitting.
-
has it ever done that before?
-
May 24, 2010 8:57:48 PM CDT
Good ending.But How the fuck does a badly bleeding man get out o
by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
Oh, He is Bauer
-
Appropriate... no major character deaths.
-
24 THE MOVIE!! Summer 2012
-
...but strangely enough, I found Jack's farewell to Chloe to be more moving than the incessant Lost reunions/awakenings in the afterlife's waiting room last night. I'm just saying...
-
*Former President Turkey Neck, how do you answer these charges?*
President Turkey Neck: Pivots head loosely on turkey neck, *Duuuur* -
nuff said
-
nothing super shocking and they left a little too much open for a movie (it's like they wanted to get rid of logan but also keep him"just in case we need him in the movie") but the ending with chloe was pretty emotional and i felt satisfied but still wanting more, I hope the movie comes through because i could watch another 8 years of jack bauer
-
That choked me up a bit... god bless Bauer!!!
-
With headlines of what happened to everyone... Logan's murder/attempted suicide, Prez's resignation, etc. They'll kill Jack off in the film, most likely.

Season Six ending was better than that
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
That had to be the weakest ending of all the endings that ever ended anywhere
-
It segways into the 24 movie. Jack now has the Russians and to a point Americans after him. Since it's taking place in Europe hopefully Desmund will be involved
-
It was a great finale, because it brought back the tension from previous seasons. 24 was never just about action and gunfights (which we got last week). I honestly didn't know what was going to happen right up to the end.
-
Finally!
Some respect
Almost as good as Galactica -
behind season 1 and 5 can't wait to watch it on bluray (you have no idea how much better 24 is when you watch it commercial free and over the course of a week or so instead of stretched out over 5 months, feels more like a compact story and in hour 24 you can still rmember what the hell happend in hour 1
-
worst ending possible.
-
What do you disappointed people want? Characters who have no business being there showing up for no reason? Jack going all Matrix on a bunch of henchman? Get some taste.
-
Are you saying they're already making the 24 movie? "Since it's taking place in Europe hopefully Desmund will be involved" There's already a script? Really?
-
Absolutely nothing at all happened. Jesus christ what a terrible ending, I can't believe you all think that was actually good? And who the fuck could possibly be looking forward to a 24 movie? I wanted this shit to be done with.
-
He can't go home again. More than likely he'll end up in the IRK. The movie will start with his family being threatened. Little Terri put in a blacksite in Kazahkstan, used as bait to pull Jack out of hiding. Sad watching him say goodbye to Chloe.
-
in season 4. Nothing beats Jack walking the train tracks with shades on. Also, that ending provided cover for Jack to escape. It feels like there is still yet a whole other episode needed just to see how the hell a bloodied and beat up Jack can get out of Manhattan, let alone the country.
It was still a good season though. Guess they're saving the big finish for the movie. -
Death was too easy for Logan... I prefer him in a vegetative state... and if they do bring him back for the movie, Jack can get him once and for all.
-
but where Jack bauer, jason bourne, james bond and batman have to team up to fight some muslims...i'd pay to see that, in 3D
-
Mumble... mumble... ok, you got a point there.
-
Fitting, since Bob Gunton appeared in this series! I had hoped for a confirmation that Logan would indeed DIE!!! But living out his years as a vegetable suits me just fine as well :)........I too nearly choked up at the end when Jack gave his farewell speech to Chloe!
-
Good bye Jack, at least until i pay my money for the movie
-
No gimmicks, no ambiguity, no cop-outs! It tied up things nicely and still left a few threads to explore in the upcoming movie.
-
At least 'till Thanksgiving.
-
What a tgerrific ending to the series! Great way to set up the movie. Loved it. Lots of non-stop suspense.
-
That's how you end a series!!! Not some "they're all dead and nothing else matters" bullshit!!! HUZZAH!
-
But Lost was still extremely well done. Not trying to start anything, just my humble opinion.
-
or at least we'd get a better ending for micheal madsen's character..although something tells me such a big name actor took such a small part because it will be expanded upon in the moviealso the more i'm running the finale through mu head the more i'm fucking loving it, thats was a great last 2 hours, sure there was some stuff i wanted to see and didn't but it was still fantastic, too bad we aren't getting an aftershow like that crap show lost got
-
Perfect way to end and transition to the next level of this franchise.
So many great shows have gone out like chumps with waterred down finales but this was the honorable perfect way to commence this series' run. -
Rehashing old storylines. Jack on the run? Being chased by an angry foreign government? Is the movie going to end with a bloody Jack on a freighter to Moscow? Oh well. Its unsatisfying and predictable, but I'm not angry, I gave up on this worn out show months ago. -
None of the BS Chloe dies, Kim dies, Jack dies rumors that have been circulating for weeks on end (guess those UK mag rumors were a wee bit overblown)
All respect to the crew for executing a very serviceable ending to one of the great shows of this era. -
At this point, why even ask that? The guy has died a couple of times and still sdaved the world. I don't find a bloody Jack Bauer escaping to Europe very far fetched. Just look what he did after his heart stopped in season 2.
-
But as finales go, I think they did the best that they could with the corner they wrote themselves into. The smile on Jack's face lining up Logan was gold, the exchange between Jack and Chloe, and Taylor finally coming to her senses...not bad. I can deal. So long, 24. You kicked ass and you sucked ass, but ultimately I'm glad I spent the time.
-
It was a great end to a great series. Sure it stumbled at times, but overall it gave quality entertainment for 8 seasons. You haters just cant be happy with anything. It was intense and while I wouldn't call it a satisfying ending, it was a great ending. My Monday nights will never be the same.
-
In the movie or in a spinoff. Isn't frightening?
-
This season really turned itself around and delivered the best season since five, with an ending that didn't disrespect the fanbase (unlike the Lost finale).
-
I assumed Jack would go to prison! Now, at least he has a fighting chance at a normal life again!
-
could have been a case or a misinformation campaign by the producers, but that spoiler seemed pretty solid, was it cut last minute like jack's dad raping his brother's wife was cut from the end of season 6?
-
trumps any of the manipulative bullshit relationship scenes in the lost finale. It was Succinct, heartfelt, and honest. Beautiful. Goodbye Jack, hope to see you again soon.
-
Soliloquey to Chloe was as emotional as this show has EVER EVER gotten.....
Kudos to Kiefer for bringing the pain (literally) with an A-list performance.
This should FINALLY put away the naysayers on his ability to put it all out there.
Again.....Phenomenal!!!!!!!!!! -
thats how you end a series! pay attention bitches
-
And I'm not here to bash LOST, the 24 finale was just better. That's damn fine entertainment. I'm going to miss this show. :(

by sauronthepowerful
Loose end that I guess will get tied up before the movie.....
-
Logan in a wheelchair in the 24 movie, half robotic or something.
-
Already has a script by Billy Ray (writer/director of Shattered Glass and Breach) and it's setting is Europe, so hopefully Henry Ian Cusick's character will show up, and hopefully not Sexually Harass the femaile makeup crew. I'm sure will get a the Russian Jack Bauer going after Jack. I just pray to God they don't do a X-files: I want to believe and resolve the cliffhanger half ass and in 5 minutes time.

HOW WAS THAT NOT THE WORST 24 FINALE
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
Somebody explain this to me, it's like the surprise twist was NOTHING OF FUCKING NOTE HAPPENED. We had Jack as the badguy there for awhile, but they didn't even follow through with it.
-
Saying shit like "Fuck 24 and all fans of this stupid show" Fuck you assholes, for being so childish and immature to say something so dumb to a bunch of strangers. Fuck off, and go back up to your room, mommy's tit needs a rest from your mouth. Fucking immature assholes.24's ending rocked, I guess the haters are mad because it blew the fuck out of the Lost finale. Or they are just a bunch of children....tough call LOL
-
most of his forehead and top of his skull replaced by exposed stainless steel
He'll need a new super villain name
And I'm not sure a turkey neck can support the weight. So his head may be resting on his shoulders
he can shrug it from one shoulder to another when putting on his ties or to show agitation -
I had given up on 24 by the time he came onto the show, but depending on the temperature of wherever his body was stored (as I said, I didn't see), it might not smell for a few days, actually. It also depends on how full his bladder and bowels were upon his time of death.
-
You need an entertaining ending. That's it. 24 provided that.
-
together. big screen. FUCK YEAH!!!

May 24, 2010 9:30:29 PM CDT
Everything resolved itself in the most predictable manner
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
That's what every other formulaic show is supposed to do, not twenty four.
-
As a fan of both Lost and 24, I am so glad the 24 finale came the night after the Lost finale to wash away the bitter taste left by Lost's disappointing end.
This was a perfect end to this series. A two hour thrill ride full of tension that was true to the characters, the story, the tone set by the previous seasons, and the overall theme of the show. It even had a heartwarming moment at the end that did not suck. Thank you 24, for restoring my faith in TV. -
he can't talk anymore but the chair has a onboard computer to translate his gobbles into robotic speech

Beep..Beep

Will Keifer have to headbutt Henry when he sexually harasses a female crew member. The fucking stories that will come from that set will be legendary.

May 24, 2010 9:34:18 PM CDT
They just remixed s4 and 5s finales, only shittier
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
I mean, how was this a great finale to a series that used to be built on great plot twists and cliffhangers and playing with viewers expectations? They might as well have just ended at Season 4 or 5 and saved us all the shitty seasons.
-
I didn't hate it the ending, because it wasn't an ending. For a while it looked like they might do something interesting and have Jack Bauer go off the rails and actually be the bad guy. Instead they just simply rip off seasons four and five and have no ending what so ever. But then again I guess there's still a movie to be be made to wring the last cent out of this tired franchise. Then again I only tuned into this season for Rack Bauer anyway. -
Hahaha, awesome
-
Tonight was a fine ending to the show and a perfect lead in to the movie.
-
i know jack had moved on and was bonering rene, but i always felt that audry was jacks true love, i guess there was no room for her in this season but i'd love to see her in the movie. also i hope they keep the real time format for the movie, it was done effectivly in the 24 redemption movie, it could easily work in a 2 hour movie, hell doesn't have to be an even 2 hours, the movie could run one day from 1 pm to 3:25 pm
-
The Bourne Supremacy, it has to there is no other way around it. The Russian President will be killed and Jack will get framed. It will lead to was between Russia and the US unless Jack is capture. Jack will ask Desmund for help. The US President with everything to lose will release Tony from prison to hunt down Jack. Throw in the Russian Jack Baur who will realize Jack is innocent at the end of the second act and will help him take down those responsible. Jack kills Tony and the real people behind the framing/cover-up will be exposed and crisis gets diverted giving Jack a closure, but opening for a return if the flick makes money.
-
like Two-Face or that dude in Hannibal in the wheelchair. Logan is to Bauer what the Joker is to Batman.
-
Now hes on run, with both the U.S and Russia wanting his head, which makes a really Kick Ass transition to the movie, A really awesome no Horse Shit ending. Thats how you do it. Sorry Lost!
-
how cool would it be to have the russians asasnitate the british prime minister or the chinese emeperor, of the canadian... um, guy in charge and then have Jack framed for it
-
is Red John. Am I nuts with this theory?
-
It made sense when they first started talking about it three or four years ago when the show as at the peak of its popularity. But now the press, and for the most part, the audience has moved on. Hell the finale has pretty much been treated like an afterthought compared to Lost (which I never watched BTW.) I don't see the situation improving in two or three years either. I think we're looking at another X Files: I Want to Believe to be honest. -
Lets go Celtics!
-
Damn how much did you want Aaron Pierce driving that car. "Hello Charles.."
Bah. It's always amazing the anger that people have over a show. I had fun with this for 8 seasons, even when it sucked. Not all television need be the Wire. Which I will remind all of you is the best show in the history of television. Ya feel me Jack? Mos Def. -
May 24, 2010 9:55:39 PM CDT
They even made Logan's henchman a pushover
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
Why can't Jack ever get an opponent that's his equal? They literally did not get one fucking thing right in this finale.
-
Part of me thinks that there will be a ninth season, and that some crisis will bring Jack back to the United States to work on a provisional basis for CTU.
-
I freaking loved it that's how you end a show! I can't wait for the movie! With Jack Bauer as he should be on his own! Well done this show was freaking GREAT!
-
Better than the best episode of 24.
-
May 24, 2010 10:03:04 PM CDT
Even when it was bad, it was still better than all other TV show
by boynamedsue
-
You are officially a douche.
-
is because the series is still very profitable, however the reason the season 9 was ordered was because the deal keifer made years ago meant this salary kept going up, so FOx could either give keifer a new contract for season 9 at a huge salary or negotiate a movie contract with him, yes the movie contract will also be substantial (keifer knows they can't make the movie without him) but FOX knows that a film will bring in more money then the show would, plus with hollywood being devoid of any original ideas loves an established franchise. The 24 movie could be looked upon as a sequel and it will probabaly do very well in theatres
-
What if the movie doesn't pan out? There have been several mentions that they are in the early stages, and it all depends on whether there is enough demand for it, a studio to get behind it, etc. So, my question is this: how does the finale rate if no follow-up movie exists? There seems to be a lot of unanswered questions...just like Lost, except everyone seemed to hate that.
-
The problem I have with this ending is that Jack was a non-issue and we spent the last half hanging around with characters we really have no reason to like. I get it. Jack had his faith rewarded (cause he can't be around forever -right?) but, really, when the "Jack is gonna kill some guys" thread concluded, the air left the balloon. No one watches 24 to watch President Taylor fret and to thrust us into that position headed into your SERIES finale was about the worst thing they could have done. Even if it strained plausibility I would have settled for a Logan repeat of disgraced Russian president attempts to flees the country but is stopped by Jack plot. Anything but Peace treaties and hide the datadisk.
-
WTF didn`t Taylor give Jack a pardon?
-
That was cookie cutter safe predictable shit we've come to expect from 24. lost was many things but predictable it wasn't
-
as a long time 24 fan, who loved the build up the past fews weeks
major letdown...this would've made a decent SEASON finale. but not what i expect from the series ender. regardless of the potential movie spin off.
we had zero twists, and the entire thing felt seriously predictable. they may have well have let him shoot Suverof -
I've always tried to be polite on this site, but really, what the fuck was that? It was the worst SERIES finale ever. LOST was a fucking masterclass next to that.

1) Why was CTU completely empty at the end when Jack was on the screen? (2) So, the thing that convinces Prez Taylor to change her mind was Jack's video? What about talking to Jack in person? Or Dalia Hassan's pleas? Or all of the misgivings that you had previously? and (3) Am I the only one that thought that it was a little odd, after all that Jack has gone through, that the thing that makes him totally go off the deep end and go off for revenge was the murder of Renee Walker and (the original) President Hassan? He didn't seem to have as much of a connection to them, as with other characters that have also come and gone. What about the death of his wife/mother of his daughter, the murder of his friend, President Palmer, having the gov't turn their back on him, etc etc?
-
is bullshit
WTF was this the president taylor show? -
May 24, 2010 10:19:16 PM CDT
You watched 24 this long thinking twists are bullshit?

Anyway, the unexpected can happen without it being a stupid plot twist.

president taylor is his commishoner gordorn, she knows that america will hunt jack, because he can take it, because he's a silent guardian a watchful protector a jack sack!

How he whispered nonsense to get the guy to lean into him. Did that during his torture in season 2.

I think half the people here are plants
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
I can't believe this many people are that stupid that they thought this was good television, let alone a satisfying series fucking finale to twenty four. Maybe it's just been too long since anyone has seen one of the good seasons. I barely paid attention to 7 and couldn't even finish 6. For awhile the writing process to this show has just been pulling a random trope they've used before out of a hat, sometimes mixing two together for a real special occassion. And they actually had something interesting going these last few episodes, Jack was actually the bad guy (I doubt many of you or even the writers noticed that). But as usual he gets away scot free, because the rules don't apply to him. While Saunders and Tony get to be murdered or rot in prison. Even as ridiculous and terrible as 24 could be, this finale just seemed like they hired law and order writers to finish it.
-
The reason I think this was what sent Jack over the edge this time was ethier A) The build-up of losing everything over the years finally got to him and made him snap, or B) Jack could always trust someone in a higher authority and when President Taylor lost her sense of what was right, hel lost his faith in the Government and acted out on his own, or C) Renee was just THAT good in bed and knowing he would never have it again made him go crazy........

by smackfu
I have come to the conclusion that there is something very, very wrong with the overwhelming majority of TV's viewing audience. Honestly, there is something TERRIBLY wrong with you people. Ever try to just...sit back, eat some popcorn and enjoy a show for what it is? An hour of escapist entertainment? Imagine going to a carnival, and every ride is full of scowling people with their arms folded, complaining about how the ride doesn't meet their expectations. What a bunch of sad, angry little whiners you all are. I'm absolutely overjoyed that that all these series finale's are the equivalent of George Lucas re-raping your childhood. I couldn't imagine a more fitting punishment for people like you.
-
I think i can answer some of your questions. 1) The president ordered everyone out of CTU except for those 3. 2) Prez Taylor changes her mind cause she felt guilty and was going against her principles that she stood for and 3) yeah, Jack has been through a lot through out the seasons...with the death of his wife, murder of his friend, etc...but he thought he finally found happiness now with all he has been through and the murder of Renee just finally pushed him to the deep end.
-
Oops. Wrong show.
-
Stay content with eating whatever shit you're shoveled if you want.
-
only a select few know jack is alive, including the presidentJack is at his lowest and now has to go into hidingi'm not complaining because that thread at the end of season 4 was one of the best the show ever did and it was followed by the best season of the show, so lets hope the movie can just be amazing beyond belief
-
Wrapped up the series in a satisfying fashion, didn't try to make a parade of former stars of the series for no good reason, just wrapped up the season with a end of series cherry on top. Simple and appropriate. Can't believe Braga was a part of such a well done finale.
-
as a series finale, but as a season finale, it would've worked fine. Still, it wasn't awful and the last few episodes have been really good, which is surprising, considering the beginning of the season was so bad that I stopped watching. Personally, my favorite season was 5, as not only did it feature most of the cast of Robocop, but it was like an insane version of Metal Gear Solid. I think the show took a bad turn with season 6, as it should've taken place in China. Season 6 was really bad. Season 7 was better than 6, but not exactly great.Still, I'm not overly disappointed in this ending. It leads up to the movie and it wasn't exactly a happy ending.

Boo hoo, sob sniff sniff...nothing meets up to my expectations, first Santa isn't real, then George Lucas raped my childhood, now the 24 series finale wasn't anything like the superawesome fanfic I wrote in my head...as far as me being content with being shoveled shit, I don't know if you've noticed, but this shit isn't Shakespeare. Why were you expecting a show that has been barely watchable for the past 2 years straight suddenly be sublime for it's final 2 hours? Don't you think if the writers had the ability to just suddenly summon up fantastic writing at will, they would do it for every single episode? It was what it was, an episode of 24. Sorry, I just simply cannot comprehend the level of faggotry required to sit night after night in front of a TV being angry at the shows I watch. "Hey, my favorite show is on tonight, I can't wait to sit down in front of my set with a nice snack, and spend an hour being angry at it and grumbling about how much better I am than the people that make it'. Personally, I tune into shows I like, because I like and enjoy them. Fancy that.
-
yep, check this talkback at about 5:30 AM.
The worst thing that could happen to Jack did happen ... he's a man without a country -
The set up is perfect and FOX is going to clean up shop at the box office.
1) built in fan base
2) bigger budgets
3) new format for writers to flex their muscles
4) possible R rating?
Fucking awesome. -
Rehash of season 4. Didn't expand sufficiently on the themes of the series. More of a movie setup than a finale. Simply unimpressed.

For 8 years Jack has been a US Agent trying to stop terrosist from igniting a bomb, or assassinating a dignitary or whatever.
Now he's just a face in the crowd and ... even worse ... he can no longer live in the country he literally put his life on the line for without a second thought. Remember: he never expected to be part of any prisoner exchange when he was a prisoner in China ... yet he didn't speak for 28 months. Even after what he went through in China, he was perfectly willing to be exchanged to terrorists simply because the request came from Palmer Lite.
He cannot see his daughter and grandchild because he's Public Enemy #1 in the two most powerful countries on the planet.
Calling him "Jason Bourne" is short-sighted because Bourne was a brainwashed assassin while Jack was consciously a soldier & patriot. While Bourne could NEVER be called back into service as a favor to the White House, Jack can be called for help (under the same "if you are captured, we will disavow any knowledge of your actions" stipualtions as Mission: Impossible's IMF.
Chloe being able to talk Jack out of shooting the Russian was PERFECTLY consistent with the previous 7 seasons.
Yeah, while JJ Abrams did his best PT Barnum impersonation and pulled a Wachowski on Lost fans, 24 went out the same way it came in.
Thanks for respecting us enough NOT to pull a David Chase ego-inspired clusterfuck -
People preferred lost's "they were all dead" cop-out over this substantive ending?
The producers of Lost basically trolled 13.5 million people who'd invested 6 years into that story.

It was a great series finale... IN SEASON 4
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
This was just a halfassed rehash of some better, like nearly every plot point since season 5.
-
Lost finale gave me the closure I wanted. This one could've been the end to any given season of 24. I'm also disappointed that the last hour had maybe ten minutes of Jack. Oh well. I was hoping for something a little more grand, but it was a fun series.
-
I really wish Tony was somehow in the finale. Dude has been there since the beginning! Now I'm really starting to abhor what they did to Tony in season 5 and 7. Tony should have standing there with Chloe, saying his goodbyes and promising Jack that he'll be the one to protect his family. Damn it.
-
The recent shows that ended. BSG, Lost, and 24 always had good talkbacks, but 24 had the funniest posts. My favorite post was the joke someone put up about the time Jack forgot where his keys were so he tortured himself until he gave up their location.
-
I've got a friend who interned at 24 this year, and before the show was canceled, Jack originally died. But once the cancellation and subsequent movie deal took place, they changed. Just thought some of you may have wanted to know how the creators planned to end the series.
-
Why? Jack essentially FAILED! Hassan got killed, the treaty didn't get signed, and Jack is on the run from two superpowers. Oh and the most decent president since Palmer 1 will undoubtedly resign. So jack's final mission on tv was a total failure.
-
Later, Jack. See you at the movies.
-
Renee's death provided Jack a reason to go apeshit, but he didn't follow through. So now what are we left with? At least in the other seasons we could say that at least the threat was neutralized or they got the bad guy. But here what do we have? It just seems that all the season did was set up the movie.
-
We get it. You didn't like it.
-
on the plus side: i had no idea what was coming. i stayed spoiler-free and was unsure up to the last minute whether the russian prez & logan would get popped, the treaty would get signed, jack would get whacked. etc.. so i got to say the writing was sharp and the tension built nicely, especially considering Jack was M.I.A. for a good part of that final episode....but going with another 'hunted Jack having to dissapear' ending? been there, done that. i felt that was just kind of a weak and only there to lead into the film, not suitable or powerful or final enough for a series finale.the film deal is what weakened this. had there been no film deal, i guarantee we would have had a definitive ending. Jack almost certainly would have died. a much stronger and fitting finale. instead, it felt as if they chickened out at the last second. i was actually shocked that the ending was as harmless as it was, as 24 is known for it's usually devastating events that occur to main characters without pity. (Teri, Palmer, etc.)still, i think this season redeemed itself in the end, and i definitely will be checking out the film. here's to 8 sometimes lame, occasionally crazy, often amazing, and always intense years. i'll definitely miss this show.
-
Until the movie...
This is JackBauer@CTU shutting down. -
However, it was enjoyable to watch Madame President finally grow a set, and to see Chucky go out like a bitch. I agree with many of you: it seemed too much like a retread of the Season 4 finale, and quite obviously a lead-in to the movie.Speaking of which... NOTE TO THE PRODUCERS OF THE FORTHCOMING MOVIE: Figure out a way to include Tony and Aaron Pierce and Mandy. Familiar cast members/fan favorites will do wonders for the box office take. The show was never about *just* Jack, and IMO the movie should follow suit.(Sigh). Kinda bummed out to see it end, but still... a lot of damn solid work through eight seasons. Well done.
-
That speech Chloe gave to Jack, trying to get him to stand down, seemed awfully similar to the speech Jack gave to Tony near the end of season 7. But obviously, Chloe succeeded where Jack failed.
-
Don't let Freddie Prinze anywhere near the movie. He's box office poison, I tell ya.
-
than it was about Jack. She became a very weak (unrealistically weak, in context with what she did last season) character, and then the final hour is about her trying to redeem herself while Jack is out of commission most of the time. The more I think about this finale, the less I like.
-
..as a bridge to the movie franchise, but not as a series finale, but then again it wasn't really intended to be. It wrapped up all of the plot threads from the season and left an opening for Jack to do the movie in Europe or wherever. By the way I love how Jack tricked Logan with basically the same exact ploy as brought him down in the first place, capturing him and letting him go with a recorder on him.
-
I thought it wrapped things up okay. It could have been worse... Jack could have died and met up with all his friends and family that died through out the series in a church (limbo).
-
That was the best two hours of 24 in years! Jack saying "thank you" to Chloe was more gut wrenchingly honest and emotional than anything in that fucking LOST finale. Hey, Darlton, that's how you do a finale you fucking hacks!
-
Someone mentioned their shock at Braga being near a good finale, but he did co-write TNG's All Good Things...
-
Pretty good finale. I have been watching since the beginning and thought it could have went out with a happier ending, but they'll probably save that for the movie. Jack leaving all digitally was cool as well as Chloe's last line. Damn, too many great shows leaving for good. I hope this decade has another BSG, Lost and 24. Naked Mandy should die in the movie!
-
so the movie will not have Jack trying to save the world from a nuke or some other terrorist organization?...it will be him on the run from the Russians and the USA?
-
All good things was a good episode and he didn't completely ruin 24, but I (and many others) will never forgive him and Bermen for running Star Trek into the ground. The clusterfuck that was the Enterprise finale was the biggest insult of them all. The man is poison. Hopefully, they won't let him anywhere near the movie.
-
But it was just the good old "clean exit shoulder wound", which we all know does absolutely no damage at all.Over all, it was a solid ending to the TV series. I would have prefered more Jack-action in the final hour, but considering we're getting a movie and maybe a sequel or two I'm not that deflated.
-
If the movie never gets greenlit. I still can't believe people actually think this is a fitting ending to 24. -
Jack is in Europe with his special ops team taking out the bad guys.
Basically Jack is tired of being the guy who has to come and fix things that get broken, he know would rather take out the bad people in the world before they cause pain and destruction.
Yes, Jack is Batman... but with friends.
Who would be his team?
I guess it would have to start with Stoller from Germany (Jack gives him the WET list finally), the Madsen character, maybe even Tony (Jack breaks him out of prison)... who else?
And who gets to be the Russian baddy?
And can we have Dolph Lundgren and JVCD in this please :) -
I'm calling it first! Great finale, got choked up a bit with Jack & Chloe's last exchange, well played 24, well played.
-
I've had a lot of fun ragging on the show, MST3K style, over the years, as I watched. The fact that 24 had less credible internal logic than a pre-schoolers game of cops and robbers only added to the shows charm. I'm proud to call it the greatest semi-unintentional sitcom of this era.
-
in both a good and bad sense.If it were me, I wouldn't have written it to have the series' major protagonists missing for 2/3rds of the final half hour, and otherwise incapacitated for much of the other hour and a half.But we did get some more 24 style confrontations and another Bauer "surprise" move.And how else could 24 present arguably its most sentimental moment than by having the two participants in two completely different places, doing it with a techy connection.Oddly enough, in what turned out to be a so-so TV season overall despite two major shows bowing out, the most enjoyable finale belonged to Chuck. Some might attribute that to lower aspirations, and lower expectations, but it worked.
-
You do know this wasn't originally intended to be the last season, right? I think that they may have tacked on a slightly different ending because they knew in advance, but it wasn't a big planned finale.But there were some tense moments in these last episodes that were reminders of some of the greatness of the show in the past. Jack vs Chloe, with Chloe pulling the trigger just before Jack offed himself? I even got the point where I was getting anxious whether or not someone was gonna sign a piece of paper. And, yeah, maybe the president was getting too blubbery at the end there, but I think the actress did a good job of played someone who's basically having a nervous breakdown.
-
It was kind of weak and uneven. I realized that the majority of shows I watched were either existing shows that are starting to wear thin, or new shows that were mediocre at best. Some shows have reached the point I just watch out of loyalty from better seasons. Don't see much in the way of replacement shows, either.
-
Why was Jack so emotionally attached and protective of Renee? Because Renee was a loyal government agent who risked everything for her country, ends up mentally, physically, and emotionally scarred, and is then betrayed, abandoned, and treated like a criminal. Jack saw himself in her. Anybody else pick up on this?
-
so in essence, jack fucked himself lol? Finale was great. Lost's finale was great. Neither disappointed me. Im a pretty big Lost fan and as a whole, the show is far superior then 24. However, season 5 of 24 is better then any season of Lost in my opinion. And Carnivale > then both

Smackfu and Rogueleader66 HAVE GOT IT EXACTLY RIGHT.....
by sauronthepowerful
Could not have elucidated those sentiments any more creatively than you guys.
MUCH RESPECT!!!
All of the Intelligentsia trolling this site, desperate to be considerred important and 'educated,' having never spent (but always dreaming the dream) one nanosecond in the industry.
Like George Lucas is REALLY going to phone the rampant philosophical whiners around these parts with a personal apology for offending your stunted effeminate viewing acumen.
It was a good ending to a series that, yes, strained the lines of credibility or even good wrtiting at times, but in the end was a ride worth taking that was sent off with respect.
Get over it whiners.....it's now series canon, AND THERE'S NOT A DAMN THING ANY OF YOU RAMPANTLY WHINING NURSERY SCHOOL DROPOUTS CAN DO ABOUT IT TO INFLUENCE OR CHANGE THAT FACT ONE BIT..... -

Logan didnt die, but the KFC double down will kill him in the mo
by ari_gold
Apparently KFC is already planning a promotional theme for when the 24 movie comes out. The double down sandwich will play a big part of it.
-
right before she caught a few hot ones in the chest....
-
Jack went out on his knees. It went against everything that he and the show stood for.
-
because no one else in the world will be.
I was a little disappointed earlier in the season when Jack apparently went psycho and started his killing spree, but I have to say I was wrong about that. Chloe bringing Jack back to his senses was a perfect moment for me, as was Dalia's brittle, barely-contained rage. Logan's suicide surprised me. I thought he was too big a coward to manage that. And the door was left open for the movies, but I felt a sense of closure, a sense that it's all right if it just ends there.
A really good series finale that went out on the right emotional note, in my opinion. -
Thank You Mr. Sutherland!! Thank You Fox!! Not perfect, but it was a fitting and satisying ending! Fuck Damon Lindelof & Fuck Carlton Cuse! You fuckers should take note from 24 on how to end a show.
-
"Jack originally died in the script... I've got a friend who interned at 24 this year, before the show was canceled, Jack originally died. But once the cancellation and subsequent movie deal took place, they changed. "So, what you are saying is, before the show was cancelled, when they thought there would be another "day" next year, they were planning on killing off Jack at the end of this season? Does that mean Season 9 of 24 was going to be Bauer-less?
-
and it's I like it more now. The thing with 24 is it's hard to relax and take everything in. This is the only show where I found myself yelling "FUCK" at the TV everytime the protagonist got screwed. I was emotionally drained at the end. I'm not afraid to admit I teared up at the end when Jack thanked Chloe. So Thanks 24, for keeping me entertained for 8, adrenaline fueled, "Days."
-
Clown Shoes... Fucking Clown Shoes for clowns. They messed this up and had no idea what their doing for ages, and now all you sad loyal fans look like a complete bunch of fuckzips! HA! I can't believe you allowed yourselves to be strung along all this time! HAHAHA!
Now someone mentioned 'Chuck'? THATS a show that fucking rocks the shit; take note losers, THATS how you do a tv series and final. -
May 25, 2010 10:26:50 AM CDT
Two long-running series, faithfully attended, One given the prop
by sauronthepowerful
Emotionally satisfying, unbelieveably suspenseful, full-circle character arcs, top flight, A-game staff delivery..........and no well of souls.
24 did its fanbase and loyal followers proud with all of the above.
How wonderful it is to stick with something for so many years and receive a credble, enjoyable thank you, such as this finale, to reward our loyalty.
Makes you wish some other well-hypred shows could've at least shown their fans the same respect..... -
Are not even worth responding to, because the show didn't end the way they thought it should have, or just like being whiny little bitches and putting others down who liked it. Fuck the haters, there is never any pleasing them anyways. Like I said before, its probably a bunch of disgruntled Lost fans (oh they will say they aren't) who are pissed that their show ended truly shitty and 24 ended great. Any one who loves 24 knows it ended well.
-
Three good shows (Ashes to Ashes, 24 and Lost) all finished within a few days of each other and I was disappointed by all three of the endings.
The only one that shows any promise is 24's, primarily because it looks like they've used the last episode to set up the film, in which case I say: bring it on!
As for the last episode as a series finale, I didn't like it much. Jack was sidelined for most of it, and didn't really get to finish off his vendetta. I'd have preferred it if he'd put his suit of armour back on, stormed the UN and killed Taylor, Suvarov and Logan. That would have fucking rocked.
Still, it was better than finding out everyone is dead and the writers had wasted the whole season setting a rip-off of the ending to Cameron's Titanic. -
getting more shitty, and coming to a woefuol shitty end. None of you deluded wank-brained children can accept there piece of shit shows for laughable piece of shit brains like youselves. Enjoy wanking over Bauer and CTU and towelheads being raped by american agents dicksucks. Enjoy it like you like your airy fairy space cadet diansour shit Lost and your cheap nothing to say and no direction really shitty british era-fetish wank! Im just shocked you all buy into this shit. Really!? This is what AICN is all about!?
-
Come on dude.....One more breast feeding analogy.
That was truly funny. You get much respect for creativity on the fly with that one.
This was indeed a proper send-off to a long beloved series that had stumbled quite a bit of late. I would even go as far as to say that the last 8 episodes really saved what was shaping up to be a disatrous season of epic proportions.
Kudos to the staff for bringing it in a big way..... -
Not some bullshit cast reunion in Heaven. Chloe gets some recognition, Jack keeps on being Jack, Logan eats a bullet.
-
I actually hated President Taylor as a character, but that had everything to do with how the writers wrote the character and nothing to do with Jone's performance.
-
He could have spared the
Russian, but taken out Logan right in front of him to send him a message. That would have totally rocked! -
Okay, so very large chunks of this season sucked hard, but I actually did enjoy the finale quite a bit, save for one thing. So Jack and Chloe spend several seasons uploading, downloading, and otherwise transmitting all manner of schematics, suspect background info, blueprints, videos, audio recordings, and God knows what all else on his bleeding-edge PDA, and he can't take 30 seconds to upload the g-damn video he got from Starbuck up to fucking youtube? Problem solved, that shit is viral in the time it takes him to drive across town. SERIOUSLY! I've swallowed a lotta pills over the last few seasons, but that one was particularly hard to choke down.

Everyone knows 24 is even shitter than Lost and Ashes to Ashes
by dickwithteeth
Hell its worse than heroes. Its just people love to masturbate over Bauer and wonky-eyed chloe and terrorist threats. But c'mon, this is easily more of a pathetic, joke finish to a long running pathetic joke on you all than any jerk-off sci fi drama for jerk-offs. Lost and its ending is not fit to be the shit on my shoe. 24 and its ending is not fit to lick the shit of my shoe. You all know its true, thats why its so funny
-
She really ruined this season for me. Hell, she ruined the last one too (even worse in that one). Luckily she won't be president for the movie. And I'm sick of Hollywood turning presidents into these moral crusaders. It seems like every fictional president makes a confession like Taylors and it's just so divorced from reality that it makes it impossible to suspend my belief anymore. Plus Taylor is portrayed in such an incompetent light that I'm surprised the producers of 24 haven't been accused of being sexist.
This was a pretty lame series finale. It wasn't quite the fuck you that Lost was, but it seems they held back because of the movie and I care more about the finale than some movie that I may or may not attend. Your typical season premier was more exciting than this. Hell, last week's episode was more exciting. And the whole cheesy Jack turning around and staring into the drone thing was ridiculous.
Hollywood needs fresh blood. Seriously, I'm thinking about taking up reading again and that ain't good. -
You're right, that would have rocked. In fact, he should have called Logan and asked him to hand the phone to Subarov right before he did it.
-
Bauer would have killed smokey by snapping his neck (in smoke form!), plugged up the island, resuscitated Sun and Jin, exposed Sayid as an Al Queda operative, helped Hugo lose 200 pounds, got to the plane, kissed the girl, got Sawyer and Jack to stop their bitching, fly the plane off the island thus relegating Lapidus to co-pilot status, with two bullet wounds and a broken arm.
And he would have called out alt Desmond by proving that the sideways world was a big farce and a Russian government conspiracy. -
I'm convinced that dickwithteeth HAS to be a parody of a talkbaker. It's got to be intentional. Nobody can possible be that grammatically incorrect all of the time, quote Kevin fucking Smith and then extol the virtues of Chuck over 24. 24 became popcorn in the end but fucking tasty popcorn. Clown shoes? Seriously? Next you'll start calling everyone Sir. Chuck is like Alias meets the comic timing and sensibility of How I met Your Mother.It's one of those "geek shows" that panders to a regular non geek audience who THINK they're geeks because they like comic book movies, and can now tell you who Tony Stark is and recognize the Flash symbol on a t-shirt(see big bang theory).
-
Did Kiefer Sutherland ignore your friend request on Facebook or something? Didn't give you an autograph while you waited for him outside his favorite restaurant? Grow up dude, your shtick is tired and stupid. It's a TV show dude, you didn't like it, we got it, get over it, life will go on dummy.
-
You know what's so funny? You and your retarded ramblings, and the best part is the we all know its true, and THAT'S what is so funny. Fellow TB'ers, let us pity poor dick....a lonely lonely boy who wants our attention...and who as of now no longer gets mine, I have my own children to deal with, I don't need another, especially one who is more immature than mine.
-
Unleash the pain.....
I want another mam-teet reference.
Made my work day.
C'mon dude, you know you got it in you.
Just one more....................PPLLEEAASSEE!!!!!
Anyway, great finale to a beloved franchise that, while certainly bruised over the years, ranks LIGHT YEARS beyond most of the dreck currently populating the intelligentsia viewing agenda.
Just saying..... -
May 25, 2010 12:26:10 PM CDT
right...so I watched the last 3 hours last night...
by just pillow talk
and last Monday the previous 4 hours. I had stopped watching it after like hour tweleve or something like that. I found the season to be quite boring and uneventful. However, once I picked it up to after Chesty Freckles be killed, fuck me, it was pretty entertaining. I actually had a blast with the show again. Jack as the crazy muthafucker was awesome.And I think the way it ended...was note perfect. It really could not have ended any other way than Jack on the run, on his own, cast aside once again.And the exchange with Chloe was perfect...his one constant friend...who didn't turn bad or turn up dead by the bad guys, or he didn't have to kill them. All major pluses!Good series finale.
-
Move along people...

You all suck the 24 writers cocks by choice
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
Have fun looking forward to your shit bourne knockoff movie series that the show had to lose it's balls for
-
You are right, we are giving him way too much attention, he is too busy draining mommy's boobies with a pump so he has plenty to drink while she goes to the Bahamas and plays with the big boys. Not my best work sauron but there ya go pal :)
-
We will enjoy the movie, and you have fun while you masturbate to Katie Sackhoff's pics from Battlestar Galactica. God do these idiots ever give it a rest? I love kids and all but dealing with these children is just not fun LOL.
-
Why are your panties in such an uproar over a forthcoming movie that you will not see?
-
I always wonder about people who rant about stuff they hate, like they will be forced into seeing something they don't wanna see. How about this for a post "Not gonna see it". Simple, direct, to the point without all the mindless immature rantings that just make them look like unintelligent idiots. I wonder if people like that have so little in their lives they they use places like this to vent their anger to the world. Anyways, whooo hoooo...im a happy person LOL and dont need to vent here, thats why I got a woman LOL, i'll vent all over her when I need to.
-
and I AM a disgruntled Lost fan. I'm just pleased that 24 got it right. Yeah, a couple tiny quibbles here and there, but overall, 24 did itself proud this time.
-
By sidelining your main character in the last hour and focusing on some wishy-washy president who is evil one minute, sad the next? Hmm.
-
People are laughing at your immature and juvenile attempt to defend this juvenile childish show for dumb shitheads. The same goes for Lost, so i wont be fooled like you fucking tools with this "Oh but its better than Lost!" crap, Big Whoop, Lost is wank for wankers, and so is 24. There all laughing at how much of a bitch and a moron you are. Your supposed to be a grown up!? You have kids!? But you think this shit is good, adult material. You think that makes you a worthy character to be raising kids. You damn Clown Man! You pathetic loser! That would be disturbing if it were not so funny. C'mon, here are your clown shoes. Accept them Dorothy, put them on. Move on. Get over yourself. Don't have a go at me just because a real adult comes on here and breaksdown how lame and ignorant you and your two shitty shows are. Your just such a blatent apologist in denial over this whole mess you look like a idiot and a bitch and a slut. F U All, losers! Get a life.
-
If you were really disappointed by the finale, I have some news for you- it's not that bad. It ended the series and season on a strong note. Killing Jack almost seems like the 'obvious' way to end the show. For those that say it was a copy of Season 4/5 it was and it wasn't. In Season 4 Jack was wanted by China for the death of the consul- where the grounds for helping Jack seemed understandable. Here Jack was responsible for mass homicide, and wanted by both America and Russia. In the end Taylor saw the error of her ways and let Jack go. I think the best part of the episode (aside from Jack saying goodbye) was Taylor watching Jack's video, which essentially summed up everything he's always been trying to do- bring out justice, and have those who have done their part be honoured for it. If there's a movie-- great, if not the show stands up for it's own just fine.
-
hit on my one quibble, exactly. There was no explanation for the President's change of heart. She just decided, I guess -- that seemed sort of false to me. But I was so pleased by so many other things in this finale, that I can easily overlook the President being an annoying and ultimately duplicitous witch all through the last half of the season. I really do think this was a solid conclusion to one of the most innovative series on television.
-
Real adults give intelligent logical reasons for their opinions. Children, like yourself, rant and use profanity and childish insults because they are too stupid to express themselves any other way. Do you understand that your words are meaningless to me? Whatever pathetic joy you get from your nonsensical rantings is sad because they don't affect me in any way. No let me correct that, I feel pity for someone like you, who obviously has so little joy in their life that they get the most fun out of coming on a website and insulting strangers. I am officially done with indulging your childish needs. LOL, calling me a bitch and a moron god this stuff is priceless. And all because I like 24 and this tool doesn't, the real loser.
-
Not unlike season 3. But in this season, like all other great story lines of 24, there was something personal at stake for Bauer. I almost think he didn't make it and the movie talk was all smoke screen, but I like that he is gone off the radar again. Europe would be a great location for Bauer to roam around for 24 hours. 24 has had its weak moments, but I like to compare it to drugs: when it's good it's awesome, when it's bad it's a nightmare. But it is always addictive. I've stuck with it through thick and thin, saw all the plot holes, all the events that did not occur in real time, but enjoyed every episode of it. Now it truly is time to "shut it down."
-
Jack wasn't in Heaven and he didn't fly CTU into the sun. That makes it a great finale.
-
I dont think Taylor's change of heart is all that surprising. She was a bitch towards Hassan because she just wanted the peace agreement at any cost. I can totally understand her changing her mind after watching Jack's video, it was heartfelt and obviously got to her on a very emotional level. He was ready to sacrifice himself to do what was right, which made her realize she was sacrificing way more and hurting more people to bring about a peace that was totally false in every way.
-
It was a lazily written lead-in to a movie. Say what you want about Battlestar and Lost... but they were ENDINGS.
-
at the drop of a hat, with no gradual build. "I'm evil for the greater good! Wait, Jack made a sad face... I guess I'm good again. Cry."
-
together to bitch about? Fringe maybe? Or if this site gets it's head out of it's ass Supernatural, at least for a season. Great ending to a landmark show. Jack Bauer became legend in it's 8 years. Going to miss this show a lot. From Mandy blowing the door off that airliner it hit the ground running and didn't stop. I just hope Kiefer can keep his shit together for a movie and not buy it in a DUI. See ya at the movies.
-
She wasn't evil. She'd been reluctant the whole time. The real question is, Why didn't she stop it sooner? She didn't want to ruin the peace accord or her presidency and those are the two things Jack's message addressed. When she saw Jack talking about all the people who'd sacrificed their lives and that peace at this price is not worth it, it obviously made her own concerns seem less significant. I thought it worked well.
-
fucking Jack is on the run just like Bats. And Logan may still be alive? this tells me that FOX is already working on the movie. too many loose ends for two hours left in the series and where the fug is almeda? or for that matter the cougar?
-
I understand your view on it but I think I Hope got it right, Taylor had been reluctant the whole time, and I think at one point she figured fuck it there is no turning back, and Jack just opened her eyes to what she had probably been truly feeling all along. Either way I still think the finale rocked. The last few hours more than made up for the sluggish beginning. My Mondays will definitely not be the same without Jack.
-
there were way more WTF moments in "Family Meeting" (The Shield's finale title) than most series endings.I wasn't feeling that "smile, you're on candid camera" ending on 24. fuck it would have been better if they had killed jack off for dramtic purposes if anything.but as it is, the finale leaves much needed cause for a movie adaptation.
-
That's not a rhetorical question... if anyone knows I'd like to hear it. Chase in season 3 was a young Jack who chooses not to be detached in the end. He looks into the abyss and steps away from it. Cole is another younger mirror of Jack, yet he serves no purpose in the end. Are they saving him for the movie or something?
-
Thanks man....well worth the wait
Shield had a great finale but I personally derived enjoyment (no matter the inconsistancies) from the last half of this season. It was a very very good finale to one of the most indeliable franchises of this decade. Any sad, pathetic, profanity-laced attempts to caztegorize in another manner are laugheable at best.
What's up with all the Galctica hate.....'Daybreak' WAS the greatest ending of this decade.
Let's get it right people..... -
At this point I'm used to cell phones and soft drinks being pimped within TV shows, and automobile choices of the characters are often clearly paid placement. Okay fine. But when Ortiz parks and the newspaper truck parks next to him, leaving him only a few feet of space behind it, I was thinking... okay, this must be significant, is he going to get ambushed?
Nope! But luckily he had his new Hyundai with integrated backup camera that makes getting out of tight spaces as easy as shooting Muslims!
This is the first time I can recall a scene being written and shot specifically to feature a product in this way. -
Yeah, that product placement was pretty annoying. And what government agent gets a Hyundai issued to him anyway?
As for Cole, I figured they really were grooming him to be Jack's replacement and when it became clear nobody liked him, they just decided to end the show instead. What more could you really do with him at that point? -
Completely destroyed Lost's finale.

I declare Jack Bauer to be an OOOOOUTLLLAAWWW!

Cunt has been every season as a running joke.I really thought we'd get one more "Charles" moment from him.Still, Jack Bauer has to go down as the greatest small-screen alpha-male hero since B. A. Baracus.
-
No really, he voiced Palpatine for the Clone Wars animated series (the first one, not the current one). And did a bunch of voices in a bunch of Star Wars video games.
-
Yeah the lack of Aaron Pierce this season was a big letdown. The Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. should've gotten into this season somehow to keep his record intact. Wayne Palmer was in almost as many episodes ffs. IMDB shows him being in 6 productions this year so he's been keeping busy at least.
-
The Bourne movies and the re-boot of James Bond owe everything to the no-nonsense brutality of Jack Bauer.

1. Pillar crying like a little girl.
2. Chloe's got a gun(sung to the tune of Jennys got a gun)
3.Mike Tyson cameo
4.Logan fucks up his suicide
5.Jack's goodbye to Chloe
6.Cole's brutal death(okay so it wasn't perfect) -
None! And where else would two middle-aged women (I refer to President Taylor and Dalia Hassan) arguing create intense thriller drama? Nowhere else. 24 is sophisticated, though many didn't get it or see beyond the surface. It was better than it had to be to get action fans to watch. we need more intelligent action drama like this and the Bourne movies--which I love while I hold my nose at their anti-Americanism. 24 presented both sides of every political debate.
anyway, thanks to fellow 24 talkbackers for so much amusement and elucidation over the years. And thanks to Kiefer and company for possibly my favorite tv show ever. -
"The ending sucked! Did Jack Bauer go to heaven or hell after he died, that's what we really wanted to know!"
-
"Chase in season 3 was a young Jack who chooses not to be detached in the end"Er, his hand was detached at the end.And what reason did you need Cole to be? He was a vehicle they used (Chloe did) to help Jack out in the field. That was pretty much it, since Chloe couldn't help Jack by herself.
-
With that final farewell to Chloe then you have no heart.

I'm sorry its too grown up and sane in its sensibilities for you to appreciate. Like 'How I Met Your Mother', which is amazing in its own way compared to this fisher price solid gold turkey turd of a series. Barney proves red bull and a gimp brain gets you all the bitches properly owned. Thats more true and touching and profound to real life than anything this crap or any of the other finally ending (read: being put to death mercifully) crapfests have managed to acheive in a single episode. 24 crawled up its arse and died the moment Jack walked away from that plane crash like fucking Captain America in Season 2, and it was clear this was cartoon hour for man-childs and princesses who never grew up and got over GI Joe being cancelled. Kiddie fidddling wank and fluffing.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves for getting in the peado ring. Man or Woman up. Watch 'Chuck', or 'Justified', or something, for Christs sake. -
and it didn't trying to hark back on days gone wheeling out all the old characters you used to love in some contrived fashion. Darth BAUER in the tunnel was pant wettingly awesome. Great finale too, with one pure, emotional moment right at the very end.
-
And that fills the spunk rag for every jerk-off loser who scatalogically loves this shit. I guess it doesnt matter worth a shit what happens with Kim etc they just abandoned her. Oh well at least i can go back through old episodes and jerk off to her when she didnt mug and pout like this show: a ropey old stripper.
Don't give me those looks, im just trying to fit in with the pack here! -
24 is one of my favorite shows of all time. And this was, ultimately, one of the best seasons. Taylor is a genuinely tragic figure.
-
It looks like talkbackers are split about 50/50 on Season 8...I'm w/ the disappointed crowd. I skipped Season 6 based on everyone's recommendations, but saw all the other seasons and this one is clearly the worst. I liked a few things, like Hassan, Darth Bauer, even liked the White Trash subplot. But for the first time in all 8 seasons, I did not like Jack and did not believe he was doing the right thing after starting his psychopathic killing spree. Also, I thought: there was way too much cliché in this season (moles, romance at CTU, etc), disregard for season 7 continuity, and unrealistic events even by 24 standards. I could go on, but Season 1 and 5 still are classics for me, followed by 3, 2 then 4. Season 8 is a distant last and the only season I wouldn’t buy on DVD. And some may hate me for this, but please get rid of Chole. I loved her in her first couple of seasons as the quirky/ tactless techy, but I don’t like what she’s become and her shtick has gotten really old.
