Season 7 shipping next week? by tonagan	May 4th, 2009 03:21:17 AM
Before the finale is aired? That's pretty daring.
I wonder... by CENOBITE	May 4th, 2009 03:23:45 AM
a season of "24" hours of your life would be like? Going to a horrible job followed by much alcohol, WOW, porn then sleep. I smell blockbuster.
last 2 episodes have been great by mogwai_democracy	May 4th, 2009 03:28:32 AM
gotta disagree with Herc. these last two epsiodes have been very suspenseful in my opinion. not as much crazy action but more building in intensity to set up for the big finish. in particular, i think last weeks episode was really well directed. something stood out about that one for me. i honestly don't know what this season is building towards and that's a good thing. with only a few hours left to go things could still go in a bunch of different directions.
"24" Season 7 DVD release date: by Rocco Curioso	May 4th, 2009 03:31:35 AM
Tuesday, May 19th... one day after the season finale. GOOD! I'm tired of having to wait until Nov./Dec. to buy the box set.
Last 2 episodes by movieman742	May 4th, 2009 03:52:17 AM
I'm kinda in the middle ground with Herc and Mogwai. There seems to be nothing special happening but at the same time I feel like it's possibly leading to something that is completely unexpected. I'm holding out judgement until the end. So far I'd say that this season is better than 6 but still not as great as 5. I also think the year off kinda hurt though.
I hope the return by The McPoyle Clan	May 4th, 2009 04:06:32 AM
of the 24 archetypes doesn't mean Jack (if he survives...yeah, right) is going to be Chloe's dog again; do this...do that. This season has been refreshing because of the relative lack of computer mumbo jumbo.
cant chloe fuckin die by celebritydave	May 4th, 2009 04:44:52 AM
and i dont mean on the show, i mean real life. just shitty casting. a sour faced, down syndrome looking mole! piss her off. also get rid of that short battle axe dyke who thinks youre racist if you dont wanna pay more tax.

anyone watch this weeks episode? was marvelous! hope they dont cancel the show
I LOVE Freckles Bauer by ZoeFan	May 4th, 2009 07:08:32 AM
Thank you
Jack Bauer HATES WOLVERINE TOO! by Riley Martin	May 4th, 2009 07:18:39 AM
Thank you AICN for doing my thinking for me.
Yet again.......... by Ballbag	May 4th, 2009 07:30:18 AM
........it feels like there arent enough episodes left to resolve the story, however unlike previous seasons I feel maybe only Hodges and Tony will be resolved and the larger threat forms the basis of season 8.
TONY IS STILL GOOD by Tallguyme	May 4th, 2009 07:37:26 AM
You heard it hear first!
I think Tony went bad by The real Jack Bauer	May 4th, 2009 07:51:05 AM
In addition to Moss, too many FBI/Goodguy colaterals killed off by him. An interesting set up for next seasnom and the movie. Only Jack has sack to kill off colaterals. Period
Season 8 by roboplegicwrongcock	May 4th, 2009 08:07:24 AM
The last three episodes of this season have been outstanding. Yet it's clear that this shady organisation is the one that will threaten jack next season and the one that Tony is trying to bring down from the inside, come on people it works. Reading about Season 8 depresses me though, hasn't this series showed the writers anything? Don't go back to CTU! That's a stale motherfucker, stay out of LA, drop Chloe altogther, drop Kim she's so fucking boring and that story with her daughter is lame as, glad they're keeping granny president, Freckles Bauer absolutely HAS TO STAY! And don't kill off Tony again. Peace
Jack Must Die! by mistergreen	May 4th, 2009 08:35:59 AM
He is infected with a pathogen for christ sakes.
Let me guess by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	May 4th, 2009 08:43:05 AM
They're going to say some shit how Season 8 is going back to basics, how it'll be all "personal" and shit for jack, and then here we'll be a year later, at the end of another absolutely ridiculous and nonsensical season, same old "he's our only lead" shit over and over, with deep voiced narrator telling us how THE STAKES, TWISTS, AND THREATS, ETCETERA were never BIGGER. Fuck this shit.
Spoiler? Or good guess? by spankmyassyoudirtywhore	May 4th, 2009 08:51:52 AM
Seeing Morris in this one mekes me think he will bite it soon. And I'm not talking about Chloe's left tit.
RACK BAUER !!!!!! by spankmyassyoudirtywhore	May 4th, 2009 08:52:23 AM
I've been saving it up all weekend...
I haven't seen this posted for a while... by nahdogg	May 4th, 2009 09:04:04 AM
GRAVITAS!!!
Predictions by nahdogg	May 4th, 2009 09:11:02 AM
Jack will be saved but with semi-permanent damamge that will keep him out of the field for the first 12 hours of next season but when the chips are down shaky Bauer will summon the strength to cap some terrorists. Tony is in deep cover and knew that Moss was a goner anyway...Moss was a mercy killing. Tony's betrayal of the new blue tooth gang will be saved up for the season opener next year as he will escape into the sewers Marwan style. What I'd like to hear Jack say most before this season is over: "I'm gonna need a hacksaw"
My Invisotext says... by CobraKai	May 4th, 2009 09:24:41 AM
That Hulk Hogan will be playing the new CTU head honcho. WTF? "Bauer..whatcha gonna do?"
This season has fucking rocked by CHRISTIAN_BALE_TRASHED_MY_LIGHTS	May 4th, 2009 10:28:15 AM
I hope the next season rocks just as hard, especially if it truly is the final season.
Agreed by RichardAlpert_TimePimp	May 4th, 2009 10:47:23 AM
This season has rocked pretty hard, in no small part to Tony being an actually bad motherfucker. And to anyone who says he still good, being a triple-double-super agent undercover, fuck that. If that's the truth, I really will have to evaluate my continued viewership. That would just be so unbelievably stupid at this point. I understand the impulse...but its gone too far. He's done things, without remorse, way worse than anything Jack ever did. And they were things he didn't even have to do. If he is actually a good guy, that will be the biggest mistake of the whole series. Besides, why would you ever want that? We all know Tony is one of the only people on Earth who can even poes a real threat to Jack. I'd rather have him be the villain than some new terrorist or whatever, you know?
2nd agreement. This season rocks. by allykatD	May 4th, 2009 11:28:10 AM
And I really needed to see Zoefan's weekly "I love Freckles Bauer" post. I wish Olivia Dunham could be as interesting as Renee Walker who does more in 10-15 minutes so screen time per episode then Olivia's done all year.
Jonas Hodges by Titus05	May 4th, 2009 12:24:06 PM
Jonas Hodges has been such a letdown as a villian...I was expecting big things from Jon Voight...when I first heard that Voight was hired to be Season 7's big baddie I was anticipating an epic 24 villian...instead we probably got one of the worst villians in 24 history...so dull and boring...did plans change for him when the 24 writers re-wrote the final 6 episodes? did they change the Hodges character after seeing that he was not very interesting?
I think Jonas has been pretty cool... by allykatD	May 4th, 2009 12:34:57 PM
he had this air of superior smugness and self-assurance that I thought was fantastic. I mean, nothing ruffled that guy. The way he justifies what he does and how he talked down the FBI was classic. I didn't like how they got him to talk. That was a letdown. Almost like making Darth Vader this pathetic dude in the end of Return of the Jedi. I wanted Darth to go down swinging, which is what I hoped Jonas would be. But he had some stellar moments.
I MAY BUY SEASON 7 ON BLURAY by Ballbag	May 4th, 2009 12:47:02 PM
It really has been great, and even though its already been said many times before, benefitted from the writers strike so much. I also think this will have a knock on effect with Season 8 as they will have had a little more leverage than usual to get the writing in place for what may be the last season of 24. I cant wait to see what the remaining 4 episodes have in store. Does anyone know if ep's 23 and 24 will air together?
Not enough time left by nahdogg	May 4th, 2009 12:53:18 PM
I agree it seems like they can't resolve all the threads in the remaining hours...I smell cliffhanger ending with next season taking place 48 hours after this season and Jack still recovering from stem cell treatment.
I agree with Herc about the last two episodes. by NoPIX	May 4th, 2009 01:30:26 PM
I hope things really kick into high gear tonight. And Jack and Tony need to have an epic confrontation in order to hash out what's transpired between them. They still have work to do with Tony's character and they owe it to the fans to give us some closure.
TONY IS ON A SUICIDE MISSION... by jedimast3r	May 4th, 2009 01:40:25 PM
...to take down the top of the top. The real twist is probably who's behind it all. Great season so far.
Another reason why Tony went bad... by The real Jack Bauer	May 4th, 2009 01:54:26 PM
Someone left him out of the refrigerator over night.....
if chloe was hot... by Chutch	May 4th, 2009 02:17:55 PM
she'd be veronica belmont. look it up if you don't know cuz its true.
They should do a black and white episode by lockesbrokenleg	May 4th, 2009 02:44:03 PM
of 24. That would be interesting.
Tallguyme by Rob0729	May 4th, 2009 03:29:58 PM
I have felt that from the beginning of the new turn to being a bad guy. Tony knows he can expose the five top secret leaders of the cabala, but he must do whatever evil he has to get them. My guess we will be hearing the silent clock for Tony in the final episode.
nahdogg by Titus05	May 4th, 2009 03:47:42 PM
where was it confirmed that Season 8 will be taking place 48 hours after Season 7 ends?...I've heard rumors of Season 8 taking place 'shortly' after Season 7 but have not heard any definite time frames...New York City is a nice locale for 24...hopefully they will do a lot of actual filming in NY and not in LA-pretending-to-be-NY...I smell bombings in the subways and at the United Nations
It'll take longer than 48 hours to by Stuntcock Mike	May 4th, 2009 04:11:56 PM

I wonder if Chloe rolls her eyes and scowls... by mojoman69	May 4th, 2009 06:41:17 PM
when she gets ass banged?
Chloe by MRJONZ72	May 4th, 2009 06:56:15 PM
I hated Chloe like the 1st two seasons she was on..but somehow somewhere along the line, I dont hate her anymore.
Chloe is hot. by lockesbrokenleg	May 4th, 2009 07:09:48 PM
I'd do her.
Chloe by Rob in WI	May 4th, 2009 07:31:29 PM
She'd be on the list... not up there with Rack, or Kim or First Daughter, but certainly ahead of the president lady.
Chloe by IndianaSolo	May 4th, 2009 07:56:45 PM
I would - but first I'd batter Rack Bauer until she could barely walk. Wouldn't touch Kim Bauer with Harry's.
Tony by IndianaSolo	May 4th, 2009 07:57:38 PM
He's not bad - confirmed. He's working back into the conspiracy - the only way he can, by collateral damage.
Jack going apeshit on Janis last week... by Shermdawg	May 4th, 2009 08:02:58 PM
...was one of the most enjoyable moments in this series EVER.
Sherm by Rob in WI	May 4th, 2009 08:04:48 PM
Agreed... I'm fairly certain that's the only reason Janeane was on the show, for a Jack Bauer Moment like that.
Chloe and Jack get married by lockesbrokenleg	May 4th, 2009 08:10:15 PM
and Jack dies.
Oh, Tony.. by Rich Malone	May 4th, 2009 08:16:19 PM

Aarons gonna drop a Roosevelt DIME on that bitch Olivia!...Then he's gonna give her the same look he gave her when she fucked up the escape in the White House...
Another The Unit fan here by taking_up_space	May 4th, 2009 08:19:58 PM
I originally dismissed the show but recently got hooked. Great show! Didn't realize The Shield creator, Sean Ryan co-created the show with David Mamet. That's some solid pedigree, right there. I agree that Tony is totally a good guy working on the inside, deep deep. I hope that reveal isn't supposed to be the Big One which usually comes at the end of the season. It's a bit too obvious. Here's a thought. Shows like 24, which are not too entrenched in character development must rely on surprise twists to keep the show good and fresh. Shows like LOST, which take time to develop characters, can get away with less surprising twists because you care more about the characters. Don't know if 24's hourly serialized format with the continuing cliffhangers would work as well if the show took the time to develop its characters better, though.

FREE THE ENDER SMITES FOES! by PennsyDeux	May 4th, 2009 08:26:10 PM
Yes it's me, but circumstances have, like the original Xiphos, required me to improvise. And Chloe is not hot. Sorry.
My prediction for how this season will end by taking_up_space	May 4th, 2009 08:30:48 PM
Jack and Co. will track Tony down just as Tony has helped to put an end to whatever the evil threat is. Jack and Co. must take Tony in because even if he did these things for the greater good, he is still a murderer of Feds. Tony will shoot himself rather than be taken in. Jack will watch as Tony drops, be tore up and simply want to give up. Very last scene will be Jack accepting Kim's transfusion and meeting his grandchild and he'll be torn between love for them and knowing that he does what he has to do to protect those that he loves. fade to black.
Filler episode by seagrass	May 4th, 2009 08:34:36 PM
Yeah, it's a snoozefest. Still beats any episode of Heroes this season.
Oh sweet, Franco's gonna be on Lie To Me... by Shermdawg	May 4th, 2009 08:38:33 PM

Word! I'm really surprised the Tony-is-doing-it-all-for-the-g reater-good theorists are so pervasive here and utterly convinced. It's just a silly premise.
Wasn't paying attention by Rob in WI	May 4th, 2009 08:40:10 PM
That was Franco though, thanks for the confim on that Sherm... might be worth checking out.
Re: comments from Taking Up Space by Rich Malone	May 4th, 2009 08:43:32 PM
I agree it won't be Jack that kills Tony. I see a situation where Jack been disarmed by Tony, and right before tony yells "I didn't want to have to do this Jack", POW.....Freckles shots Tony....
Uhh...sure Olivia... by Rich Malone	May 4th, 2009 08:44:03 PM
In other words, you got scared...

The biggest action sequences by Rob in WI	May 4th, 2009 08:47:40 PM
Were Tony playing puppet, and a Car Go Boom... So, I could have watched the basketball game instead this week.
Wha? Huh? by CatVutt	May 4th, 2009 08:48:09 PM
Did something actually happen in this episode?
Rich by taking_up_space	May 4th, 2009 08:48:20 PM
Good call, I think it WILL be Freckles that shoots him. They already set that up with her anger when she found out about her lover being killed by Tony.
C'mon Sherm.... by Rich Malone	May 4th, 2009 08:48:22 PM
You know how this T.V. shit works! If they do a long-pan shot of a vehicle in the background, it's ova!
seagrass by taking_up_space	May 4th, 2009 08:49:45 PM
Yeah, he was in it. You didn't miss much. Just your everyday 24 car goes boom explosion.
And for next Season? by CatVutt	May 4th, 2009 08:50:07 PM
Don't even bother bringing back Aaron Pierce, Agent of SHIELD, if you're just going to have him playing butler to the President's daughter the whole fucking time.
RIP Mr. Tippett by chrth	May 4th, 2009 08:50:11 PM

Nice delivery.
Where's my money, bitch!? by Rich Malone	May 4th, 2009 08:51:54 PM
Time to fork over de cash, Liv. Aaron's gotta a verrrrrry itchy trigger finger....
And now we get this long, drawn out by taking_up_space	May 4th, 2009 08:52:13 PM
shit where someone tries to link Pres. daughter to the explosion. Maybe a blackmail setup to get to the Pres? Yawn fest. We don't give a shit about the bitch, so who cares. Wonder how Aaron (the only likable character in the White House) will play into this.
yup..it's confirmed.. by Rich Malone	May 4th, 2009 08:53:37 PM

has a higher body count than Jack this season.

Worst episode this season by seagrass	May 4th, 2009 08:58:07 PM
Damn. Hodges goes out like a chump, too...he deserved better (well, worse).
Guess they forgot to rewrite that episode by seagrass	May 4th, 2009 08:59:04 PM
Seriously...that was a total letdown. Next week better make up for it.
Weak hour by Rob in WI	May 4th, 2009 08:59:25 PM
Could have done without I guess, only important piece was Hodges. We have, what, 3 hours left?
Wait... so... by Rob in WI	May 4th, 2009 09:00:32 PM

This ep really was pretty dull. by CatVutt	May 4th, 2009 09:02:45 PM
Oh,well. A good final 3 make up for it.
No way by Rob in WI	May 4th, 2009 09:03:33 PM
If Tony gets caught next week, he ain't dying... He and Jack will be "Forced to work together" in some BS fashion... I don't know which one is Nolte, and which one is Eddie Murphy though.
Boring episode by Jubs	May 4th, 2009 09:04:49 PM
But next week looks nuts.
My guess, Rob in WI by Rich Malone	May 4th, 2009 09:07:32 PM
If season 8 (which has been confirmed for over two-years) does take place so soon after season 7's finale, then Jack catching Tony so soon means two things: Tony's will get murked, ala' Hodges to silence him by the bigger group, or he escapes/cooperates with Jack and the FBI, and the story line carry's over to season 8.
Rob.. by Rich Malone	May 4th, 2009 09:10:00 PM
"Can I have my lighter back, Jack?" "Shut up, convict!"
Tony's obviously Murphy. by Shermdawg	May 4th, 2009 09:10:16 PM
From those U.S, Cellular ads, I'd bet he'd have a better singing voice.

Ending by GodfatherJKR	May 4th, 2009 09:43:55 PM
There is no season 8. It's a smokescreen to hide the fact that Jack dies at the end of this season.
Nasty theory by tiredpm	May 4th, 2009 10:09:54 PM
Any chance Aaron planted the bomb to take out Hodges?
No. by Shermdawg	May 4th, 2009 10:59:23 PM

who blew up Hodges? by Titus05	May 4th, 2009 11:05:05 PM
so who killed Hodges?...I was thinking the same thing that Aaron Pierce was the one...who else could it be?...maybe the First Husband/Lady Henry Taylor?
Olivia is being set-up- there's still a mole out there by YackBacker	May 4th, 2009 11:08:58 PM
Her "cancellation" (lack of payment) was received. If anything, she's being set up by the cabal, who also still have a mole in either the WH or the FBI. Is that mole Janis Gold? Yeah, I think so. Well, whomever it ends up being, the point is there is DEFINITELY a mole left to be revealed and he/she was the one that called in the car bomb. There's no way Olivia's call to her friend would have resulted in a car bomb that quickly.
Wasn't Aaron by Jubs	May 4th, 2009 11:11:04 PM
camped outside Olivia's room/office for the entire hour? Can't see how he could be the one who killed Hodges if he was anchored to one position.
If Aaron Pierce is involved, then I'm done as a fan of this show by YackBacker	May 4th, 2009 11:11:40 PM
Making Tony "evil" was bad enough. Making Pierce a bad guy is fucking sacrilege. Take it back, you bad bad people!
if you wanna know what's up with Tony... by mogwai_democracy	May 4th, 2009 11:26:39 PM
remember when Jack first caught Tony and was interrogating him at FBI headquarters early in the season? Jack was asking him what was going on and Tony was talking about how he lost everything he had due to the the government, and that Jack still working for the government was like 'spitting on his wife Teris grave'? sure, later he played it off like he only said that so Jack would come at him and he could give him the code word or whatever, but i think that exchange in that room was the one time we actually got the truth from Tony this season. i think that scene was important and says it all about his motivation this season. Maybe Tony IS trying to take down the secret evil group with everything he's doing, but he's doing it for entirely selfish reasons. he's doing it for revenge and no matter who gets in his way, he's going to take them down. i still think that somehow he is trying to get to ex-prez Charles Logan. and yeah, this episode was mostly just setup for the finale, but i think the finale is going to be NUTS!
I think we still need a big reveal by lockesbrokenleg	May 4th, 2009 11:50:56 PM
There's someone bigger than Tony who is his boss. A new character, or maybe someone we know already.
ya, pretty slow these last few hours by bullet3	May 5th, 2009 12:13:53 AM
I really think they fucked up the moment they had jack get infected. Up until that point this season was rocking, but somehow they managed to screw it up and fall into the usual rut (usually 3/4s of the way through season 1, 4, 6). Also, just so much random stupid stuff happening. Like how Renee lets Jack run point (Which she shouldn't),randomly tells that civilian that Jack is infected with a bio-weapon (which is classified information), and the uses that as a justification for letting him run point. What kind of fucking logic is that? "Ya, he's been infected with a virus that fucks up his brain, and he's going to die within 24 hours, so he'll be fine leading an assault where a young hostage is involved". Oh well, next week looks like it finally picks up, hopefully last 3 eps will be non-stop action

This season is going downhill badly... by BigTuna	May 5th, 2009 02:59:32 AM
It's been so flat and dull since Tony's big heel turn. It's just not working. I don't buy it, and it's so convoluted and unbelievable. The show was going fine before they did it. Tonight was another snoozer.
bullet3: I agree completely by BigTuna	May 5th, 2009 03:01:07 AM
The 4-5 episodes up until Jack got infected was amongst the best ever on 24. So much action and suspense. It's really been flat since that episode ended (where Jack opened the truck and got infected)
The muslim crap is a load of bull by billypilgrimisunstuck	May 5th, 2009 03:14:17 AM
BORING.
Dammit by The McPoyle Clan	May 5th, 2009 03:43:28 AM
No more Jonas Hodges. Loved the way he threw the paper after the agent left the room. Otherwise, it's been kinda slow. Tony's new lady friend needs to get nekkid. Ever since Mandy departed, 24 has been lacking nekkidness.
Jack screaming at Garafalo last week... by blue1622	May 5th, 2009 03:48:50 AM
was pretty much the most awesome thing I've seen on tv this year (that wasn't called Xavier: Renegade Angel.)I can't listen to anyone whine about waterboarding without flashing back on it, now.
Having time to rewrite only makes the show worse it seems by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	May 5th, 2009 05:26:49 AM
If you ask me this season was only any good the first couple of episodes, before the big rewrite with that lame as hell white house invasion and onward. And these last couple since Tony turned bad again, which they had time to rewrite some more are even duller. Maybe they actually do do a better job when there's a deadline. There was a line from Jonas Hodges earlier in the season, "stress is the vertilizer of creativity" I feel like that was the writers talking now. Only Jack and Tony with Emerson and Jack on the run from that Starkwood Mercenary have been exciting at all so far, I can't figure out for the life of me why everyone is going on how this season has been great, that only thing keeping it from being bad as last year is no lame jack's family is a terrorist story. But still they've managed to have equally unbelievable storylines.
Hmmmm.... by Ballbag	May 5th, 2009 07:18:21 AM
Im a bit concerned that this week is a bit of a weak one. Im in the UK so wont get to watch the episode till tonight. I usually scan the talkback for a feeling of what it was like without hitting too many spoilers along the way (dosent always work!). That leaves 3 episodes to wrap up the season and while I dont doubt that jack will ream a LOT of asshole before the day is over, they are cutting it fine. Still think it sets the stage for season 8 though which I feel may play out in a similar way to season 5.
Loose ends by The McPoyle Clan	May 5th, 2009 07:56:12 AM
I think there's a good chance they're going to leave some loose ends that won't be resolved in 3 hours. Maybe this time, they won't take the customary leap between seasons and brush over them. With so little time, thing should at least ramp up; Cruz Pezuela shows up next week; too bad he's an agent and not Cruz Pezuela.
I loved this season but... by Stuntcock Mike	May 5th, 2009 09:05:41 AM
the last two episodes kinda stunk if I'm honest. Man, Chloe's face...ugh.
blue1622... by ZoeFan	May 5th, 2009 09:09:18 AM
I concur. That was by far THE BEST TV moment of the year.
The McPoyle Clan by Stuntcock Mike	May 5th, 2009 09:09:40 AM
The paper throwing cracked me up. They should have cut to silent clock.
Every episode isn't going to be an Award Winner by ZoeFan	May 5th, 2009 09:28:38 AM
If you're writing 24 episodes for a 24-Hour time period there's going to be lulls in there. In my opinion the only "come on" episodes were those lame ass White House invasion episodes. That was lame and beyond suspension of disbelief.
I miss First Season 24 by dsback	May 5th, 2009 09:34:28 AM
Season 1 Jack Bauer would beat the shit out of Season 7 Jack Bauer.
Each episode=1 chapter in a book by allykatD	May 5th, 2009 10:08:14 AM
24 is like a book, some chapters are more exciting than others, but to hold the story together and move it along you need all the chapters whether they're exciting or just okay. This was just an okay chapter for me, too, but it advanced the plot. I really hope Jack saves Gibran, or whatever the guys name is.
Zzzzzzzz.... by HoboCode	May 5th, 2009 10:26:08 AM
This has to be the dullest three consecutive episodes in 24 history. And these are the retooled episodes to "get them right."? I've enjoyed this season for the most part but it really seems like they are running out of ideas.
Oh Please! by Ballbag	May 5th, 2009 10:40:04 AM
A couple of episodes where things hit a lull and people are crying out that its lost its momentum etc. However if it were non stop action people whould compain there wasnt enough story. In my opinion episode 20 was a lot of talk and character rather than frantically paced action and I loved every second of it. But yeah, erm we are at the end of this season now so lets see the remaining episodes take it back up a notch for the finale.
FAIL by lagomorph	May 5th, 2009 11:46:04 AM
They really fucked up that one. That episode should have been about Tony's BETRAYAL writ large on Jack's face from moment one, but Jack may be broken both physically and spiritually which makes for a tense "will he die this time" atmosphere but some boring ass filler. Cut to the chase...
Season denouement by rockgolf	May 5th, 2009 12:42:31 PM
the virus gets loose in a contained area, infected the bad guys including Tony. Fortunately they have an antidote. Tony, in a last minute change of heart, gives his dose to a paralyzed and frothing Jack. Probably after meeting a begging Kim. This isn't a spoiler, just pure speculation on my part.
Boring by the_juicy_box_of_megan_fox	May 5th, 2009 01:28:07 PM
I started getting sleepy in the middle. The car bomb woke me up, but Jonas deserved a more epic death. Hopefully, the finale will make up for the string of ho-hum episodes we've gotten lately.
Ok, I'm back home. So here's .... oh by chrth	May 5th, 2009 08:11:01 PM

Just classic. I hope he started screaming at the top of his lungs at the designer or whomever it was.
