24: Live Another Day

Also, Jack not bothering with the any of his usual torture/angst/respect/trying-to-reason-with-baddies shit and just lobbing Catelyn Stark out a window was brilliant. This whole series has just about justified the existence of the last half a dozen seasons of this. Agree needs more President Logan though. Also secretly hoping for some comedy Kim peril for old times' sake.

I LOVE THIS SHOW! It's the Russians! No, it's the Chinese dude from several years ago, conveniently plot-expositioned by Chloe! No, it's both of them! And the US chief submarine dude will blow shit up based on a fax with NO VERIFICATION PROCEDURE WHATSOEVER.

(also, Borough Market to Liverpool Street on foot in less than a couple of minutes? O RLY? Also also, everyone seems to be going about their business in London quite the thing considering some mad fucker's blown up Wembley Stadium and a hospital with a drone, as well as another one getting diverted away from Waterloo into the Thames an hour ago)

As I alluded to earlier in the thread if I allowed myself to really let rip on all the geographical and cultural inaccuracies in this series of 24 we'd be here all night.

TV shows just do this, whether set in London or DC or Los Angeles.

if this is the last 24 series, they should make the fianl twist be 'jack is the bad guy all along'
and chloe would be all, 'whut? no way! well i guess he did like to torture people a lot'

Of course, it just seems more hilarious/egregious when it's made by foreigners and set in your home town.

My personal brush with this was the 1986 movie 'Space Camp.' It was set in Huntsville, Alabama where the main Space Camp is located (and where I lived at the time), but the kids sneak out to go look at (and later launch) the space shuttle...which is 675 miles away in Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was a trip, in the movie, that only took a few minutes.

Did anyone else expect Chloe to say, "I didn't say I was your best friend, I said 'only friend.'"?

Heller's final scene was pretty tragic.

Getting older can cause more dread than any terrorist threat.

enjoyed this season enough overall but felt nothing for what happened in the last episode. Sutherland's reaction was good tho, as was the Prez's.

Just now got around to finale. Audrey's fate didn't really seem impactful, because Audrey's always been scenery. Was way more affected by Heller's final scene and the exchange of Chloe for Jack. I was suspicious when Fox announced they were doing another season, but it ended up being among the best.

This was pretty much the only season of 24 that got better as it went along rather than the worse, like all the others did. Probably best season since the first, maybe better? I can't rememeber anything they've done as good as that drone car chase.

I'm not going to believe they're never doing another one until I see Jack Bauer die on screen or Kiefer Sutherland dies in real life.

BTW, Jack's grief massacre on the boat was one of the funniest things I've seen in ages.

Loved this, and how overblown it all was - who is Jack up against, is it the Islamists, the Russians, the Chinese? How about ALL THREE.

And a conspiracy going right to the heart of the CIA.
