The official 24 thread

...

Stray Observations:

* Did the scenes of Kim chasing long-haired terrorist dude in the back corridors of the airport remind anyone else of Die Hard 2? Of course, Kim's no John McClane, but who is (other than Jack Bauer)?
* Speaking of action-hero moves, I loved how Renee hopped onto the side of that SUV and gunned down terrorists while riding over to Jack.
* I could understand why Tony would want to savor his special time with Wilson, but would he really want to risk Jack and company bursting in and stopping him, just like they did?
* As Tony was led away in handcuffs, his parting shot at Jack was pretty brutal and below-the-belt, but powerful nonetheless: "These people think they can take everything away from us Jack. Somebody had to stop 'em. And what did you do, huh? You ran away. You're one of them now. Congratulations. How would Teri feel about that, huh, Jack?"
* A reconciliation of the crankies? Not nearly as fun as the clashes, but still nice. Janice (haltingly): "I'd, uh, like to thank you for all the help you gave me today." Chloe (grudgingly): "Yeah, it was interesting. Given what you had to work with, you did a pretty good job." As Janice clearly understands, coming from Chloe, that's effusive praise. Maybe they'll be BFFs after all!

Well, that does it for another explosive day of 24 — though, as usual, we finish on a cliffhanger. While we can safely assume Jack will survive (duh) and be in decent fighting shape for next season, there are a lot of questions left unanswered. What will Renee's actions mean to the hunt for Wilson's conspirators, as well as to her career? Will Tony be tried and executed for his crimes? Will Jack shed a single tear of joy upon meeting his little granddaughter? Hopefully at least some of those questions will be answered in about eight months (Wow, that does sound like a long time, doesn't it?).

Thanks to everyone who watched and discussed all of Jack and the gang's exploits along with me---it's been a fun ride. Hopefully, I'll see you all back in the same place next year for 24's eighth (and final?) season.

Is Renee going to be in next season?
She's always so "bouncy" when she walks

Sorry, I only looked over the last 50 posts or so and didn't see this ...



Didn't it bother anyone that "Wilson" was Ryan Chapelle? (same actor ... at least he sure looked like it)

Different guy. Chappelle was played by Paul Schulze, and Wilson was played by Will Patton (from the movie Copycat).

assuming she went through with the illegal interrogation techniques (although now that i think about it, we never saw it happen) i doubt she'll be back (or at least still in the fbi)

walker's the mole. she lets wilson escape...

If FOX is smart, no more mole crap, at least not for Season 7 or pre-Season 8. Heck, I'd like to not see the mole crap in Season 8 either, but I understand they need to put some moles in there to drag out the plot over 24 episodes.

in case anyone missed it, K.S. was on Late Night with jimmy fallon last night, it was pretty hilarious (he revealed a few things about the next season too). it's not on hulu yet, but it should be soon

Why couldn't they wrap ANYTHING up in the last episode!?

So that you'd be forced to follow Season 8.
