Live from the 24 Season Finale - Page 8

The First Gentleman cries. Everyone’s heart is breaking.

Will the First Man forgive the Madame President? Not sure, but my guess is that there won’t be any sex in the White House for a while.

My mother would go down in history as worse than Richard Nixon for me, just saying.

Ethan consoles the President, who is crying because she has lost her family. Ethan says that he’ll take his old job back, and oddly enough the President acts like that makes it all better.

Renee is going rogue!! Janeane Garofalo is finally putting her Lefty foot down. Renee handcuffs the bleeding heart. Renee tosses away her badge like Dirty Harry and walks in on Alan Wilson.

Meanwhile, Kim arrives to find Jack in a coma. The Muslim cleric tells Kim about Jack’s death bed conversion. She is unimpressed.

Kim begs the doctor, “Can we still do the stem cell thing?”

Damn, didn’t see that one coming did you?

“It would be a billion to one shot.”

This means that Jack is now 99.99% likely to survive for at least the Season 8 opener. Well, if anyone even wants a Season 8 at this point.

Tony: good or evil? - Infinitely, too complicated to comment on for at least another decade.

I think essentially the show is claiming that the world is way too complicated and confusing to ever tell, which I think is what George W. Bush was claiming about him and Iraq.

Wow, I never thought I’d see 24 become a forum for moral relativism.

Will Jack live? Will Renee torture Alan Wilson?

Odds of me being back to find out: Pretty low.

7:59:59 AM

No silent clock

A better ending: Tony blows Jack up, laughs maniacally in triumph, invades the White House, and takes over as our new fascist leader.

    Damn that was nearly longer than the season dude. But I also have to admit I found a lot of it pretty funny. Speaking of which...

    Did anyone besides me notice how much the evil guy with Jack's daughter in the airport looked like R.E.M.'s Peter Buck?

    Maybe he's still pissed about getting busted for that drunk tirade on a plane a few years back.

    This season was a bit lame but no where as bad as season 6. That was the worst. Season 5 remains my favorite. Hope season 8 is much better. Hope the new President isn't as lame as this one and no way as boring as Wayne Palmer. They should have a Black or Asian women for President.
