1 month and counting until the new season starts...

Any ideas on how this seasons going to go? The only previews/clips I've seen is Jack wondering around what looks like Arizona, and he answers his cellphone "How did you get this number?" I have no idea what's going to happen... and that's what i love Evil

Clap Punk

Quote from DWells55 :
Not all of them were aware what was going on, and the only reason they got in Jack's way at the end was because they went to the roof to check up on a supposedly in trouble co-worker. Even if they were aware of the waterboarding, that's hardly grounds for execution. Waterboarding known enemy combatants was government-condoned for a while.

I'm not really criticizing the show here. I think this has been one of the best seasons yet and I'm sad to see it go. What I am saying is that Jack's morality has gone from being a lighter shade of grey to a much darker one, making a bit harder to cheer for his every action.
I thought it was a much more "grave" offense when Jack Bauer executed the CTU directory in season 2 or 3 (I forget which).

I don't think the show would allow the Bauer character to kill a US president, current or past. But as for the dirty Russian president, all bets are off. Whee

Iagree
It was pretty clear that they made it more dramatic because it was the last season (when at the end of every other season, the exact same thing happens but wasn't that stretched out), but it was still pretty awesome.

can't wait for the movie

Well.. I liked the ending. Lots of action, unexpected turns, and Jack didn't die Big Grin.. Logan's prolly gonna live and hopefully if they do make a movie, Jack will get to own him again bounce

Hopefully my thread doesn't die like the show just did Sadwalk

I thought I should add that the finale was aired on the 24th day between the show hours of 2:00 to 4:00.

I was literally breathless and speechless (until now). To that guy in this thread who said he works in the shows post-production and said the ending was amazing, he was right on. There were so many dramatic scenes. I think most of us knew that Taylor would eventually do the right thing. You can tell she was so conflicted. Whereas Logan has no soul and doesn't give a crap about anyone else. However, I never expected him to shoot his buddy Jason Pillar, who BTW, is as spineless as Logan. ("Oh please don't shoot me. I have a little girl at home." Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) )

I had to LOL on that 3rd statement. Roll

Excellent point! I didn't even think about that. Man, that was super clever of FOX if they did that on purpose. And they lucked out majorly that Mon. fell on the 24th. Great Easter Egg!!

What a great ride this show was. As I mentioned in the "Lost" thread, which I've also watched religiously since its inception, the ending of "24" kicked the pants off the ending of "Lost". Of course that's just my opinion, but I'd like to hear from others who've watched both shows (religiously).

I'm going to save the finale on my DVR. It's a keeper. Copy that!!
