Season Finale Season: 24
First and foremost, I want to tell everyone this this post will be typed in “real time.”
As for last night’s 2 hour season finale, it was about what was expected. Hour one was all about stopping the terrorists from launching the missiles (again). Hour two was dedicated to bringing the President to justice (again?). I wouldn’t say there were any real surprises aside from Jack not killing Logan himself, but truthfully a season finale is really only as good as its cliffhanger. Writers usually have 13-24 shows to tell their story. The last episode obviousy needs to tie up the loose ends, but we all know its going to happen. What were they going to do, let the bag guy get away? (Might have been cool.) Really though, those last 10 minutes make the finale, and I guess, in that case, 24 ended really well.
Jack was kidnapped by the Chinese (who you may remember from season 4) and appeared to be on an oil tanker in the middle of the ocean heading for… Shanghai(?)– it should also be noted that the time that passed between Jack getting kidnapped, being beaten to a bloody pulp (off camera) and being plopped down at the feet of the Chinese (a Chinese?) on said tanker in the middle of the ocean: 7 minutes.
Perhaps the bigger questions is this: will Day 6, which starts January 2007, take place in Los Angeles again, or will they be in a different city altogether? Hopefully the latter. There’s no reason that show shouldn’t be filmed in New York City. The two are a perfect match.

But they DID let the bad guy get away. What about the hipster in the glasses that was running the show behind the scenes? Where’s he?

Ah, touche my friend. Touche. Perhaps he’ll return next season. I feel, in general, that any show or movie about international conspiracies usually ends with a bunch of white guys in a room calling the shots.

Also, that dude had a pretty sexy bluetooth headset, no?

they cant do it in new york because the weather isnt constant over there like it is in LA, remember they have to shoot for 10 months, and in new york it goes from snowy to rainy to sunny all year.
