Feels like a monday to me. Think I’ll start rewatching my recordings of 24 soon.

Poor Jack, started the day by playing with his granddaughter, ends it by getting stabed, shot and leaving the country.

Poor Jack, started the day by playing with his granddaughter, ends it by getting stabed, shot and leaving the country.


If you think about it, Jack never really ended a season happy and healthy...often, neither. To wit:

Season 1: Holds dead wife, who was pregnant with her second child, in his arms.

Season 2: Dealing with aftereffects of chemical torture by Kingsley’s men (though being attended to by Sarah Wynter could qualify as a positive)

Season 3: Dealing with repercussions of heroin addiction, after shooting Nina Myers (wanted to), Ryan Chappelle (was forced to), and cutting off the hand of a potential son-in-law. Sobs in his 4Runner.

Season 4: Fakes his own death, after being stabbed by Marwan, and choosing to save Lee Jong’s life over that of girlfriend Audrey Raines’ estranged husband, Paul.

Season 5: Kidnapped by the Chinese.

Season 6: “Forced” to give up a catatonic Audrey Raines, after leaving his father for dead on the abandoned oil rig, and hours after being forced to shoot Curtis Manning. Oh, and getting acided and skewered by Abu Fayed, if you need it.

Season 7: Placed in a coma while dealing with the final (yarite) effects of exposure to the preon variant, after shooting Tony, losing Bill Buchanan, and a tearful goodbye from his love interest, Renee Walker.

Season 8: Given opportunity to flee after killing just about everyone related to the death of his love interest (the incredibly hot Renee Walker), and making the others wish they were dead...and almost being blown to the next world until President Cankles saves him, and Chloe, Arlo, and Cole give him cover...

I don’t care who you are, those are some buggered up endings...
