How is that possible? And do you have a life?

Far fetched and generally not very well written. But if you could turn your brain off and completely suspend the slimmest of disbelief and ignore bad acting from some key players (how did they keep Chloe this long?), it was entertaining.

Funny, I was just thinking how much I enjoyed Stargate SG1 - hard to beat for being fabulously stupid yet incredibly entertaining. Anyway, I realize now it has a lot of parallels with 24, just with aliens in space.

I've only seen the little bits that the tail end of House had recorded on the DVR. never found any of it entertaining, but I could see why someone would. It's not my kind of show, like West Wing. Always seemed way to overacted.

^^ I think he is saying that 24 is a show he can see why people like, like he views the West Wing. Not that 24 and West Wing are similar.

It's an enjoyable show but very far fetched and some bad acting... TV for the most part is for us to enjoy,relax and forget about our lives and just enjoy the show! I get tired of all the complaints of this & that, if you don't like it, don't watch it....

I have never watched a single second of this series, but my new roommate brings his girlfriend over and they watch it together so the TV is occupied for Monday night basically. So now, hopefully this will mean that they can't watch their show, and now I can watch my shows :D
Uh, it was only on from 9-10pm. They took the tv for a whole hour? Wow, how did you survive?

Gotcha, just re-read it and that's exactly what he is saying. Being tired and trying to post things is usually a bad idea.

How many more episodes are left in the season? I know it's near the end. It's been quite a ride.

4 more this year. I love the way they are going out, starting with 2 weeks ago and into last night with Jack being in complete rampage/revenge mode. This is when 24 is at its best, and it hasnt been there in a few seasons.

Watching these last few episodes make me think Jack is going to die. No more seasons after this, and unless they make a feature film, I think he's going to be killed off. Same thing happened with Michael Scofield in Prison Break.

They'll probably opt for a Soprano's type ending where you think Jack's dead, but you no better than to really believe it.

I think he goes on a revenge killing and then has to disappear, a legit fugitive for real this time, at least until the outgoing POTUS pardons him or the new one fixes things.

There should be a movie at some point, and I think there will be. The premise might not be that original, but if 10M fans/viewers went that guarantees you over $100M in box office. Could actually be a decent story if it were to pick-up wherever this leaves off.

My moneu is Jack on the run disappearing at the end.

I think he kills them all, exposes the evidence, and vanishes....only to be found in a feature film in due time.

He could finally go full rogue. Is that the first time Jack has killed anyone in cold blood?

Jack's killed a few people in cold blood before. He killed the main bad guy season one in cold blood, the sniper in season 5, Ryan Chapelle (he was forced too), and Nina Meyers (although it's debatable if she really was going for the gun).

love the show. have seen every season. once dennis haysbert(president palmer) died , i dont think the show ever got any better. that said, it is usually the best one hour shows on tv. i think the topics are more believable than than most on here think. cushbert was annoying as far as the show goes. besides jack, chloe is one of the best characters ever in tv imo. also one of the best ideas for a tv show with the whole realtime thing. hopefully they just let jack be jack for theelast few episodes. wouldnt be surprised to see him die(or the appearance of being killed) since renee died.
