I stopped watching 24 about halfway through this season. It truly was stale. The notion that any boob off the street could walk into CTU was overplayed by about season three; and the "good female/minority president" was also overplayed. But the "intrigue" with the Iranian president this season just got boooooring. I do have to go back and see who Jack killed, but that's the only thing I want to review over this season.

I thought the finale was tepid, and certainly nothing like the finale of "the Shield," which ranks as the greatest series end ever, in my book. Contrast Vic Mackey, left in hell where he cannot use his power, his badge, or his gun to intimidate others (or right wrongs), and the sirens blasting outside while he, gun in hand, is deciding whether to a) break Ronny out of jail or b) join the cops or c) shoot himself vs. Jack left, well, free to be Jack---alone and on the run . . . . It was disappointing to say the least. I think season three or four---can't remember which at this point---was when 24 peaked.

I didn't follow The Shield. I suppose if I watched its finale, out of context, I wouldn't like it very much either.

This wasn't be the best season of 24. For a while it looked like the worst. But the last 10 episodes or so were outstanding.

I loved the end of The Shield!

I was blown away by the scene where Claudia and Dutch walk into the FBI building and watch Vic testify that he killed a fellow cop, robbed the Money Train and gave drugs to dealers he was protecting...crimes far, far worse than the crimes they had envisaged of him.

Excellent, excellent series, among the best ever.

The best acting, too...Acevada, Dutch, Vic, Ronnie, all of them Emmy worthy.

I like Breaking Bad a lot, too...
