24 Season finale or slow boat to China
In usual fashion, some threads were closed, others were left open, a new character was introduced, and we now know the plot line for next year.
I was a little disappointed in the season finale - we could have had some more drama in it - President Insurance was killed off in the opening show - wouldn't it have been poetic justice if President Wimp was shot?
Ok, I knew the show was in trouble when Jack had to "convince" a military dude he had to kill someone. Have any of the writers ever heard of a little thing called basic training? Just because they stick you in a sub in the engineering department, doesn't mean they don't teach you how to kill. That's job number one you learn in the military, but I digress.
Good ole Jack though, he has no problems pulling the trigger - Robo Cop dude finally paid Jack a compliment and he knew his geese were cooked.
Jack did have some strong WWF wrestling moves though. I counted two sleeper holds, a scissors broken neck lock, and my new favorite, take the face and place it in a stream of hot steam. How did you those veggies cooked? Al dente? Does anyone keep track of the body count? Jack is a one man killing machine. I'd hate to get on his bad side.
Chloe, I heart Chloe, glad she survived the show but I don't know if she'll be around much next season - seems whenever we start to like someone, they get killed off or, sign onto another show. So, who's left from the original cast? Only Jack and Agent Pierce. What are the odds on Pierce for next season?
Love interests for next year - Old lady Hayes and Bill. Geez Bill, just yesterday you were messing around with Michelle, now you cruising the rest home for chicks. Jack, wakes up in the morning with one woman, and ends up proclaiming his love at the end of the day for another. I guess the sex must have real bad. By Jack telling Audrey he still loves her, that's an automatic trip to the slab for her.
I shouldn't complain too much - the show was good - was it the best season? Nah, but I'd rank it up there. We were just missing the surprise plot twist at the end. Like when we found out Nina was dirty. She became the bitch we all loved to hate.
