      Oh and Buchanan = the man. Who knew he could fly a helicopter?
      Audrey will be back if her new show gets cancelled just like last year. If her show gets cancelled, she will be next season's midseason twist.

        24 needs to slow down and draw plot lines out more. That and get jack away from CTU. The show is extremely stale right now.

          Imo they need to do two things:

          1) Get rid of the "24 hours" premise: I suspend disbelief when I watch this show but this season was pushing it. Chloe acting pregnant in the last hour when she showed no signs before....The doctor doing a full workup on Chloe 2 minutes after she collapsed...Jack finding Audrey 10 min after he was dropped in the water. Its getting ridiculous. Make it 24 days or something like that.

          2) Focus more on Jack. I could give a damn about anybody at CTU except for Bill Buchanon (Nadia is hot though). I dont watch 24 for Milo or Chloe or Chloe's husband and I dont think most people do. I watch for Jack Bauer. I found myself getting bored when the show switched to things going on at CTU.

            CTU wasn't as bad as the stupid presidential situation.

            IMO, 24 should revolve around 5 people:

            1. Jack-...

            2. Chloe-Not her feelings or anything, just as Jack's backup

            3. Bill-He is now a stud

            4. Whatever character is beasting at the current time-Doyle, Curtis, Hassad, Wayne, whoever

            5. Whoever Jack is trying to find, torture, extract info from, or kill

              I still like the 24 hour concept, they just need to stop trying to cram so much into it. Don't change bad guys mid season and don't change plot lines mid-season. This entire season was about trying to stop the nukes, but they throw in this useless component, josh, chinese, audrey plot into it that just sucked.

              I still think this season would've been best if it was Jack and Assad going rogue trying to stop the nukes with their various resources while CTU was juggling trying to catch Jack and stop the nukes.

                They also need to change location. Why is every terrorist attack in L.A.?

                  I agree with #2.

                  #1, Jack's a government employee and so was Audrey's father. It would take a few minutes for Jack to get on the phone with Chloe to give him the number. Heck, I can do it quicker with Google.

                  I like Buchanon as well, but I think a lot of people liked Tony too. They need to keep Chloe on the show as well.

                  To whoever asked about CTU getting out of LA, they are after this season. Go back about 10 pages or I'll try to find the link to the article. I just think they spent too much time on character development this year. I really liked Tom Lennox and the VP towards the end. They ended up good eggs.

                  I wonder what happens with Buchanon and Hays after this season?
                  Josh and his mom?

                    My issue isnt just with him finding out where Audrey's father's house is...its the fact that he found out where it was and arrived there in less than 10 minutes. Also, Chloe was in the hospital during this time so thats out. Its a small nitpick but I found myself laughing at the fact that in 30 min he shot several chinese terrorists, talked to his dad, hopped on a helicopter and held on it by a ladder, swam to shore, called CTU to get info on where Audrey was, found a car to take to Audrey's dad's house, drove there, broke into the house, talked to her dad and had a talk with her. All in 30 minutes.

                      Then again...the Heller's house could have been very close.

                      We don't know where it was. All we know is Jack was on the coast, and the Heller's house was on the coast. It, theoretically, could have been pretty close to where Jack was.

                        I just hope next season, if Jack has to save the country, the US government won't continue to **** on him.

                        He should have never gone to China. But considering he did, the US should have gotten him out of there, before they were forced to because of terrorist attacks on their country.

                          Now this season is over, I'm still wondering how Graem was able to be "above" Charles Logan in Season 5. This was never explained.

                          What happened to the division guys that appeared after Milo died and the Chinese thugs were killed? They were earlier bossing around Nadia and then they vanished last night.

                          I wouldn't want to be in the writers shoes right. It's obvious the fans are sick of the same things happening again. I've heard people say they need to get rid of the White House drama and CTU. I could see them getting rid of the White House drama but I don't know how they could do a season of 24 without CTU.

                          I want to see an original season but I can't think of an original storyline. Every twist and plot point has already been used in the past 6 seasons.

                            Oh, I know, it all sounds like a fantasy world, especially swimming ashore bit.

                            I just threw Chole's name out there, could have been anyone in CTU. I believe Jack could get any car he wanted because of the way he operates. The only thing we know is that the house was near the ocean.

                            I'm sure he had time to smoke a cigarette as well.

                              Actually, the entire season should have been what it was about in the beginning. Stopping the suicide bombings. That had great potential and they squandered it. It would have been an opportunity to present a truly nightmarish vision of what America would be like, and how hard or impossible it is to truly stop something so decentralized. They went awayf from that way too quickly for my tastes. That would have been a much more novel concept than the nuke element. They should have had the one nuke go off, but then get back to aggravated suicide bombings or whatever. The pressure and suspense of the show would have gone through the roof. Instead, it was another sequence of find the terrorists, find the nukes, and disarm them. The same drama they've done for a couple of seasons. Having Jack race around trying to stop a suicide bombing at key spots, protecting key targets, etc. would have been so much more entertaining. Truly, the 3 more nukes concept felt so stale when they first mentioned it, and once that one nuke went off, it was all downhill from there. It didn't have to, but due to poor planning and poor writing they ruined the way they started the show. It got derailed from that point.

                              They could have had Jack investigate possible targets for suicide bombings, be an escort for certain people, etc. while on the other end Wayne Palmer and Hassad could have tried to broker peace with the terrorists. They could have easily stretched it out for a full season, and not have to worry about nukes beyond a singular incident. And they would have still kept the tension palpable.

                                I liked the end too. I thought this finale was a lot better than the Heroes one, I wish I'd watched this one first. Anyway, I know a lot didn't like this season much, but I liked it pretty good. Definitely better than last season. I kinda enjoyed the fact that there was no cliffhanger this year, just the notion that the show can go any direction next year.
