he has never seemed fond of the character
He was fond enough to actually get the character's tattoos done for real.
Oh really? I heard I went on some rant around about the time season eight came out about how much he hated the character. Maybe there is hope then.
Well here it is the final episode of 24 ever. Hope everyone gets a chance to watch. I am pretty sure the Russians are going to kill Jack:(
Wow,I have no words. That was a proper final to 24. I am sad that I was right but I really didn't see it ending any other way. At least Chloe is okay and Jack stood by her as a friend in the end. This felt like a good final for the series and the only end Jack's adventures could have. I sure hope we get an Agent Morgan spin off series.
Wait, why does it sound like the ending you saw was different from the one I did?
The ending I saw was the Russians getting a hold of Jack because they will just keep coming after his friends and family if he didn't hand himself over and it then cut to the silent clock letting us know that the russians killed Jack at some point. What ending did you see?
I admit it was sad but it was what had been set up from episode one of this season so it felt like a fitting end and it was really the only way the series could ever end.
I saw that ending. I think you're reading a bit much into that clock.
I'm pretty sure the last clock wasn't a Silent Clock.
When I die, I want a Silent Clock at my funeral.

Dito.
On the 24 facebook page people are flipping out over this ending and calling it the worst thing ever and I just don't see how else it could have ended. I think this ending was set up pretty well and it fit the tone of the series and there was that moment of friendship between Jack and Chloe. if this is how the series ends with Jack handing himself over to the Russians to protect Chloe and his family I can live with that. It feels like a fitting end and completely in character for jack if you ask me.
It's a great ending of the season/closing of the series. And if they decide to bring him back, they could have the next president (Aaron Pierce?) negotiate for his release or Jack breaks out for some reason. I like it better than S8's ending, with Jack just running off.
I love that Jack got to take down 20 more people, and a couple in non-traditional ways. Nothing can beat "bring me a hacksaw" or that time he threw a screwdriver into a guy's chest then hit him with a plank.

Yeah Season two was where I started watching and the hacksaw line put my jaw on the floor the first time I saw it,you just didn't see stuff like that on TV in those days.
I agree that it was a fitting end to the series but it will also be fine if they decide to do another minseries at some point. I like that Jack turned himself in for a reason,it feels kind of upbeat because all season Jack as said he doesn't have any friends but then in the final moments he confirms that yes he has one friend,Chloe. She is the one person who has always been there for him and so he is turning himself in to protect her.
If there were another miniseries and Jack was broken out I would expect Chloe to be behind it since that is just the kind of team they are. One thing that I love about 24 is that Jack and Chloe are always there for each other but it isn't for the normal Tv reason that they are a couple. They are there for each other because they are friends and they know that when the chips are down the other person is the only one they can count on to have their back but they didn't have to be in love for it to work out that way. They learned that they can trust each other because they had to work together to save lives and since then they have each learned that the other is the best at what they do and can be trusted but it doesn't go beyond that. I can't think of another show in recent years that has handled things in this kind of adult way and I am glad the series ended showing that once again.
