Four Days Down
I have to tell you guys, I am a 24 fan, through thick and thin. Tonight ended the best season since the first one, in my opinion. You can rag on it for the politics not being real, or for the events not being totally realistic, or about how we never see Jack or any of the characters sleep or eat during the whole day... but hey, it's entertainment. Better than that, it's good TV, darn it, in a time when shows like Hell's Kitchen are still being put on the air. (Reality TV must be stopped, but I think it'll have to be a war of attrition.) Solid entertainment for two hours tonight! I really dug this finale.
**SEASON 4 FINALE SPOILERS BELOW**
So now, we've got Jack going freelance again, running from the U.S. and Chinese governments, for all intents and purposes a dead man with a new life. We know that Fox has 24 for two more seasons counting next one, and that Kiefer Sutherland will still be Jack, and that it will be a non-stop season starting in January, much like this one was. Beyond that, it's wide open!
I know it's pretty pointless to do this, but here are my first predictions: the show has a totally new direction. Jack's a freelance rogue security superhero mercenary, he's going to join up with Tony and Michelle, and they're going to form a new A-Team with Palmer as the behind-the-scenes administrator guy.
It could happen.
**END SPOILERS**
24 fans, what are your thoughts on the finale and seasons to come?
Great 24 finale last night. But I liked last year's finale better, when poor Chase lost his hand!!
OK buddy...you'd better write something like *SPOILERS* in entries like this from now on. It's only about 2pm in Season 3 for me over here watching on DVD... Luckily I had the willpower to stop reading and go directly to the comments link at the beginning of the second paragraph!!!!! :)
Woops! Sorry, Amy. The problem has been corrected. It won't happen again. :)
Miso Sorry I'm making a comment a few days after the show...Anyways, I bet Tony and Michelle have a baby and they ask Jack to be the Godfather. Palmer arranges for Jack to have surgery in Mexico that will alter his identity. It'll give him different fingerprints, and some other stuff that alters his identity, but he'll still sorta look like Jack Bauer somehow. After he recovers from the surgery, he is known henceforth and forever as "The Godfather." He'll be able to come back to the US and from a distance he'll keep an eye on Audrey, who has turned to the Dark Side (sorry, rather she has turned to drugs and is unknowingly supporting terrorists)...The terrorists in next years season will depend on the gender of Tony and Michelle's baby. If it's a girl, the terrorists will be from Colombia and surrounding countries. If it's a boy, they will be from Russia. It'll be a doozie--I can't wait!
