Because?...

Because IMDb

Well, that's that I guess.

Another good episode this week. Very tightly done.

Yep. This is a great season

Finally got caught up on 3 hours today. Did NOT expect the President to die.

DAMNIT

WTF? You trust terrorists? Give in to their demands? No President would do that, not even one who is going to resign soon.

True, but 24 has never been based completely in reality. When the missile hit, I said "Holy shit!" Just caught me completely off guard that he would actually die.

I'm assuming that you checked the thread before watching last weeks episode.

I was assuming it was a body double with a makeup to look like him. But obviously its really him.

I don't like this plot twist at all. I agree 24 has always stretched the boundaries of reality. But a President would never do this. They are all about legacy's especially retiring ones. He really thinks they will stop? People are going to see his last act as not a brave sacrifice but as a gullible man who has lost his mind. And gave int to terrorists.

Nope. LMAO

Just finished tonights. BADASS

Okay, 24 pulled one over on us.:D

I thought this was a great episode. Jack throwing her out the window was fantastic. Classic Jack Bauer move.

Yep. Great episode. I thought it was suspicious last week that Heller didn't get a silent clock. If frickin Edgar got a silent clock, Heller would have to. But I didn't know how they could pull off him still being alive. Nice job 24.

The last 2 episodes I've thoroughly enjoyed. They definitely pulled one over on me with the President.

Yep, the last two episodes have been as good as any ones in the past. The take down of the building and the terrorists was as well done as any high $ movie budget.

Looks like I'm the dissenting voice here. I didn't like that thing with the president at all. Just stretched credulity too far (which is saying something with 24). Rest of the ep was fine though.

Tonights episode. Wow.. Just Wow.

I just hope next week tops it.

My only comment through the first half hour is that some ****er at Fox 4 needs to be fired for that goddamn weather audio stinger that keeps cutting into the dialogue every thirty ****ing seconds.

XBMC to the rescue.

Great episode. Next weeks finale is going to be unreal

Yep. 24 finales usually rock.

So anyone want to put odds on;

- Jack getting killed
- Jack killing himself
- Jack goes free
- World War 3 starts and everyone dies

Jack can't die. There is talk of a movie after the series finishes.

Not to say that Jack doesn't get ****ed up, captured by Russians/Chinese, gets his immunity taken away etc. Jack gets no happy endings.

So they come up with an episode like this right as the season is coming to an end?!?!?!


:cuss:

I am not going to be a happy camper after the next episode and then I have to wait for almost a year for another season of 24...**** whoever thought it was a good idea to make this a 12 episode season instead of 24 episodes.

I NEEDS MAH 24!!!

Last week I finished binge watching all 192 episodes from the first 8 seasons. It took me about a month. Then I watched the first 10 episodes of this season. Each episode lasts about 42 minutes, so I have literally spent over 140 hours watching 24 over the last month.

I never watched the show when it originally ran because I thought the premise of spending an entire season watching a single day sounded pretty stupid to me. I was wrong.

My guess is that next week Yvonne Strahovski will die, and Jack will be once again either be exiled or captured by a foreign country.

I just hope that ****ing Tate Donovan doesn't wind up with Audrey. I hope she finds out exactly what he did.

By the way, I just can't see a 24 movie being any good. What will they call it? 2?

The Bauer Legacy.

Alright, who the eff gave Cheng the intel on Audrey's meet? Is Nina Meyers back from the dead? Was it the cougar?

I'm pretty sure that they said no movie. This series is in lieu of a film. I'm not sure if there's been an official announcement on a 10th season. This finale could be it.

The only way an 11th season is impossible is if they kill Jack. I really don't think they will do that.

WELLLLL Jack says its a possibility. There was a script written.

http://www.eonline.com/news/498753/k...ve-another-day

When asked if the plot for the 12-episode miniseries, which is set in London and will premiere in May, is similar to the original idea for the film, Sutherland revealed, "The script for the film was very, very different. The film's an ongoing situation. There's always an opportunity to do that, but Howard came up with an idea of a 12-episode run of this and it was an opportunity that presented itself to us first. It was a fantastic idea…if this ends up rebooting the show or causing a film to be made, so be it."

reboot reboot reboot

I hope so. Update it to 2015. Some of the series is kind of meh, been there done that. It's still great TV, just not original. That is always the hard part, faithful to the original but updating the format/series.

It's definitely possible for a film but I just think it's one of those things that you hear about forever that never happens

As much as I hate to admit it. 12 eps is probably perfect too. Less filler that way.

Well, they killed almost every other major character in the series...

they have proven they will kill any person at any time, except Jack.

Samurai Jack

This had to be one of the most depressing episodes of 24 ever.

Does Jack's kidnapping signal another season of Live Another Day?

I wish they would kill off potato face! I cant stand her or her Cleopatra freaking eye shadow.

The Mountain got Ned-ed.

Silent clock tells me that Jack died when he got to Russia.

u gotta be kidding me they went there. Come on now. Jack is ****ing cursed. always does the right thing. Only ****ing bad people get took out, and they take out everyone he has ever cared about except for Kim! lol

Yvonne Strahovski is still alive. She can help him save the world again next season before they kill her off.

Highly unlikely.

I thought the episodes where his wife and Renee Walker got killed were more depressing than this one. This was just a typical final season's episode in many ways.

From an interview with Manny Coto:

Now that he's been captured by the Russians (again), where do you see the saga of Jack Bauer going from here? There was talk about this miniseries spinning into an actual TV series. What’s the plan?

Coto: There actually is no plan. This was conceived as an ending. This is not to say there won’t be anything else, but right now, this is the end. I will point out that, as Jack walks off, there is a silent clock. I’ll let you make of that what you will.

Without a doubt that was also a heart-rending one...But this season had so many tragic characters:

Jack's sacrifice to free Chloe
Audrey's death
President Heller's horrible realization at the end of what the near future meant for him
Mark Boudreau's tragic character

Exactly why I think he is dead.

"A silent clock is a rare occurrence on 24 in which the digital clock displayed at the end of a scene or episode is silent, without the typical beeping sounds. It occurred thirteen times and was used to punctuate highly emotional scenes. Seven of them took place around the time of the death of a significant character; the other six did not. "

He survived a year being tortured in China. Are the Russians tougher?

If Keifer wants to get back into Jack, it will happen. If Fox doesn't want a series, there is surely money to finance a movie. Give Fox a cut for the rights etc.

Obviously, they wisely have left the door open if they want to do something more with the character. Would've been stupid to kill him off outright, unless Sutherland said he simply didn't want to play him anymore, and to prevent being talked into it in the future he wanted Jack dead.

I guess they could've always rebooted 24 with another Jack-like character, but I doubt most fans would accept that. It's Jack or nothing!

I just don't see that character ending by rotting away in a Russian prison. Someone, somewhere will pick up the 24 story and finish it with a conclusion, one day.

He can get out of just about any jam but can't escape from the helicopter (without handcuffs)? If he's ready to die, why not take out the entire crew or escape trying?

Just finished the season..

Wow.

**** the Russians.

Chloe still within killing range?

I guess I was a little disappointed with the finale but I'm always cheering for Jack. Perhaps I was just a little sad to see it end again. I'll cross my fingers for another season but won't hold my breath.

I saw an online comment that said, "The silent countdown at the end wasn't for Jack. It was for all the guys in the helicopter with Jack."

It's not a stretch to think that when Cloe gets away safely he will make his move. He knows how to fly a helicopter.

Agreed. I'm not sure he wants to live, but he definitely doesn't want the bad guys to live. I'm ready for the next season/short-season.

The finales since after day 2 have never quite measured up for me. Man, that was a great finale. Also, I never liked Audrey so her death was meh to me.

ROFL

If somebody comes up with some good plot ideas, they'll have another season. If they don't, that means they are making a wise decision to let it end. The last thing anyone wants is for the show to come back and jump the shark. As of now, they can correctly say that it lasted 9 seasons and never jumped the shark.

‘24′ Pilot Officially a Go at Fox, Action-Thriller To Be Revived Without Jack Bauer

After much talk, Fox is seriously considering bringing back “24” with a formal pilot order for a reboot of the series, titled “24: Legacy,” Variety has learned. The pilot will film this winter.

Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer character would not be part of the revival series, which will feature an all-new cast of characters, but will retain “24’s” format of real-time storytelling with split screens and like the original, each episode will represent one hour of an eventful day.


“24: Legacy” will revolve around a military hero’s return to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back — compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.


Original “24” producers Howard Gordon, Manny Coto, Evan Katz and Imagine’s Brian Grazer will return as exec producers.

Anyone watching the new 24?

Looked like the original one. Kind of cliche but better than most shot on broadcast TV these days.

compared to the last couple seasons with keifer, it was a bit refreshing. 24 was one of my first netflix dvd orders back in 2005. i would binge watch it while chatting with my future wife in a chat room, married 8 years now :D

I love Jack Bauer but the new 24 is much better than I thought it would be thus far

Original creators of 24 returning to create a Jack Bauer origin prequel.
