24: Season 7

[aNYtitan]

What are the odds that Olivia gets off scott free?

Also, shouldn't the cut raise some suspicion for Kim? SOME!

[Xiomera]

What are the odds that Olivia gets off scott free?

How many times does Kim have to be kidnapped/used as a hostage?

She isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Never has been.

[The Unseen]

say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

This season is officially the second worst.

[The Unseen]

This season will be on DVD tomorrow?

That's...new. Usually takes months. Theoretically, some people have black market copies and have already seen the finale.

[Brodeur]

Kim the agent!

[The Unseen]

Oh schnaps! Kim Bauer gon' kick some azz!

[Xiomera]

Kim going to track down the guy trying to abduct her. Wow, that makes a ton of sense.

[aNYtitan]

Man, I really like Cainen, wise SOB

[Xiomera]

I love how there is always a bunch of qualified chemists and doctors ready to do diabolical things for the bad guys.

Can you look these people up in a phone book? haha

[aNYtitan]

Also, me thinks Tony is up to something...hmm...wants to meet the head of the organization.

P.S. that looks painful

[The Unseen]

My dad thinks Tony's actually undercover for the government.

[Xiomera]

Place your bets now: Will Tony live or die in this episode?

I say he lives to see another day.

[The Unseen]

hmm...dunno. Dying makes more sense, but they love them some Tony

[Brodeur]

Badass Kim is good stuff.

[Xiomera]

Too bad Elisha Cuthbert wouldn't wanna return to the show fulltime. It sure would increase viewership and make more more ridiculous plots, haha.

[The Unseen]

and moar sexyness

[aNYtitan]

Even handcuffed and containing a deadly disease, no one can stop Jack.

[Xiomera]

Perhaps some of this:

[Xiomera]

Even handcuffed and containing a deadly disease, no one can stop Jack.

Lemme guess, them taking his spinal fluid rid him of the virus and now he's even stronger than ever having been mutated in a positive way by it.

[Brodeur]

I love the lightning quick transitions from dark to light and vice versa.

[Xiomera]

I love the lightning quick transitions from dark to light and vice versa.

Jack Bauer controls the amount of sunlight on a given morning.

Duh!

[aNYtitan]

Oooh, revenge is a good motive.

[The Unseen]

oooooooooooooooooh I like this twist.

[Xiomera]

I wonder how this season originally ended? Remember they did a re-write for the final 8 episodes.

[aNYtitan]

Shouldn't Jack be a dead man by now without the medication for his symptons?

Also, Tony is cold blooded.

[Brodeur]

That was some good stuff by Carlos Bernard there.

[The Unseen]

I kinda wanted Jack to kill Tony, but fitting nonetheless.

[Xiomera]

Not a bad ending here. At least the show has taken a deeper look into Jack and Tony's psyche this season after years of doing such horrible stuff in their jobs. It's a nice change of pace.

I just hope Olivia dies a tragic death at the hands of Aaron.

[aNYtitan]

That was some good stuff by Carlos Bernard there.

I really hated the cheesy "You killed my son, now I'll kill YOU!"

That last line was very cheesy.

[Xiomera]

Setup for Season 8 right here with Alan and Renee?

Hmm . . .

[Xiomera]

Kiss her, Jack . . .

[Brodeur]

I really hated the cheesy "You killed my son, now I'll kill YOU!"

That last line was very cheesy.

Yeah I know this but in general before that.

[aNYtitan]

Yeah I know this but in general before that.

Yeah, that was a good one with the kid. Definitely shows us what Tony had to really go through, cause losing a wife is tough enough, but an unborn son is just...can't even put it into words.

Now lets see whether Olivia gets nailed to the wall, like she should.

[Xiomera]

Can't blame Carlos for poor writing. He reads the lines he's given and he did a good job this season.

[aNYtitan]

Damn thats just f'd up what Mr. President said

[The Unseen]

laaaaaaaaaaaame.

[Xiomera]

Do they not think Ethan would really keep quiet? And Aaron?

Uhhh . . .

[aNYtitan]

15 mins away from the end, this looks like the end for Jack

[Xiomera]

"Nothing is black and white."

IT IS ON LOST!

[Xiomera]

Kim will save the day. Might be a cliffhanger into season 8.

[The Unseen]

Jack converts to Islam? More at 11.

[aNYtitan]

BTW, how did he have his number just like that?

[Brodeur]

Give Kiefer an Emmy while you're at it.

[Xiomera]

BTW, how did he have his number just like that?

Jack has a universal rolodex in his mind.

DUH!

[Xiomera]

Double homicide and a suicide here by the Prez?

[aNYtitan]

YES! I like how Aaron kept the door open as well, just to make sure

[Xiomera]

President Taylor should have learned a lesson from Rod Marinelli.

Never hire family.

[Xiomera]

She better not be President next year. I am so tired of this family melodrama.

[aNYtitan]

She better not be President next year. I am so tired of this family melodrama.

Then we have to wait quite a while before the next season. I see her coming back.

I always liked Ethan, the man with reason.

[Xiomera]

Ethan / President Taylor affair?

DAMN IT! Season 8 is essentially upon us in these final minutes.

[Xiomera]

TORTURE TIME!

RENEE IS SO ******* HOT!

"Secure your hands to that pole"

(that's what she said)

[aNYtitan]

Career suicide...she is another Jack. Damn it Janice, just shut up already on the whole moral issue.

Do it already!

[aNYtitan]

WHY?! Just in time for the juicy part, close the door.

EDIT: Jack is going to wake up and be like WTF?

[Xiomera]

I really hope Janice doesn't return next season but I know she will.

[Xiomera]

No silent clock = no Jack dead. (obviously)

[The Unseen]

Well, I guess that was good, but they should've let Jack die.

[Brodeur]

So Jack doesn't die until next year.

[aNYtitan]

That was half good half bad prelude to the next season. So Renee beats the information out of Alan and becomes a renegade (I'm assuming). Jack breaks her our and they go tracking whoever was in charge of this whole operation. But that whole "I'm not ready to let you go" was pretty lame.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

They left it open depending on if Keifer wants to or is able to continue filming. I wouldn't mind a season of Renee as the new Jackie Bauer, but it won't last more than a season with ratings.

[The Unseen]

That's a good point.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Hah watch them kill off Jack and make it into a spinoff of "Jack's Angels" with Renee, Kim, and Chloe.

[Jughead10]

They left it open depending on if Keifer wants to or is able to continue filming. I wouldn't mind a season of Renee as the new Jackie Bauer, but it won't last more than a season with ratings.

Not sure how I felt about the ending but this makes sense. Keifer is a mess. I saw him at a bar in NYC the week after Christmas. Pretty sure even at that time he wasn't supposed to be drinking. He's a midget by the way.

[Brodeur]

You saw Jack Bauer at a bar? I'm so jealous.

[Jughead10]

You saw Jack Bauer at a bar? I'm so jealous.

Don't be jealous. He's quite a tiny man. Pretty much ruined this whole season for me. Wasn't even a nice bar either. Shocked to see him. Earlier in that night my girlfriend was asking me had I ever seen a celebrity in NYC and I hadn't. Then Jack Bauer was at the bar.

[Brodeur]

Also, since the game show host from Slumdog is a main guy next year (and presumably some sort of villain), does this mean they'll abandon the organization thing for S8 like they abandoned the Max thing for Season 3?

And I know Kiefer is small, but he's still a badass.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Small dudes who can kickass are the most baddass. I don't need to see a roided up dude kicking ass.

[Xiomera]

Guesses as to who is a part of the regular cast next season?

[Jughead10]

Guesses as to who is a part of the regular cast next season?

President Taylor. I think that's a given.

[Xiomera]

President Taylor. I think that's a given.

Well it is now . . . wonder who runs the FBI? If that is even the government agency we deal with.

I heard Season 8 could take place in New York.

[Brodeur]

Guesses as to who is a part of the regular cast next season?

Kiefer, Elisha, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Cherry Jones, Annie Wersching, and Anil Kapoor (Slumdog game show host). Not that I've read reports or anything...

[Xiomera]

Kim Bauer returning as a season regular?

I wonder if Janice returns? Tony?

Ethan will return.

[aNYtitan]

Um...Renee, Jack, Chloe, President Taylor, Ethan, Janice. Though we probably haven't seen the end of Tony or Kim or Olivia.

[Xiomera]

Um...Renee, Jack, Chloe, President Taylor, Ethan, Janice. Though we probably haven't seen the end of Tony or Kim or Olivia.

Will the President divorce or separate from her husband? Her and Ethan will probably have an affair.

I also expect the next season to begin very close in the timeline to the end of this season.

[The Unseen]

Will the President divorce or separate from her husband? Her and Ethan will probably have an affair.

I also expect the next season to begin very close in the timeline to the end of this season.

Yeah, that's the one given - Season 8 is shaping up to be a continuation of Season 7. I can't think of any other Seasons that have worked like that. Actually, Season 6 worked off of Jack's captivity of Season 5 and more Charles Logan.

[Smokey Joe]

Then we have to wait quite a while before the next season. I see her coming back.

I always liked Ethan, the man with reason.
Unless she resigns due to the amount of stress the job has caused her.

[Smokey Joe]

Also, since the game show host from Slumdog is a main guy next year (and presumably some sort of villain), does this mean they'll abandon the organization thing for S8 like they abandoned the Max thing for Season 3?

And I know Kiefer is small, but he's still a badass.
Kiefer isn't the badass. Jack Bauer is the badass. It's confusing, but the two are actually separate entities.

[Brodeur]

Kiefer isn't the badass. Jack Bauer is the badass. It's confusing, but the two are actually separate entities.

I don't need your lies.

[Smokey Joe]

I think we'll see next year begin about 1 year into future. Jack is not doing anything but spending time with Kim, Teri2, and having casual sex with Renee. Renee is the new directer for the new revamped CTU, with Jack helping out occasionally. Renee, with her Jack Bauer lessons, successfully got Wilson to talk and they took down the whole conspiracy.

In Day 8, something happens to Renee where Jack once again has to take off the retirement belt and put on his awesome belt (which, are ironically, the same belt). However, to catch the people who have Renee, Jack enlists the help of Tony. And you know how the rest goes...

One question, do you think Wilson was telling the truth when he said it wasn't him who had Michelle killed?

[Smokey Joe]

I don't need your lies.
Think about it, Kiefer was born in England... do you think Jack Bauer would stand for something like that?

[Smokey Joe]

All I know is:

Season 1
Season 5

...

...
the others
...
...

Season 6
Season 3 was a lot better than 5. I wasn't a big fan of 5 and how they killed off everyone in the first 5 minutes. If I had to rank them...

Season 1
...
...
...
... (Imagine about 1000 more of these spaces)
Season 3
Season 2
Season 4
Season 5
Season 7
...
...
...
... (Imagine about 79 more of these)
Season 6

To be honest, seasons 2,4,5, and 7 are all interchangeable.

[Smokey Joe]

Couple things of note:

Killing scientists is just way too easy for Jack, even handcuffed and extremely weakened from a virus that will kill him soon.

Please kill off Olivia Taylor. I can't stand that stupid *****. The final half hour just ruined tonight's episode for me. Odds are though, she won't get convicted. Hopefully they just don't write her in.

When Kim Bauer was following the long haired guy, that wasn't Kim doing the chasing. As you know, Kim has Jack Bauer blood in her, and Jack can control her whenever he wants. Also, Kim Bauer with sleeve on fire >>>>>>>>>>> Kim Bauer vs. Cougar. Most importantly, it was nice to see those fun bags bounce around while she was running again. Hopefully they keep her in a very minor and unimportant role next year.

Is Jack now officially Muslim?

[NIN1984]

Olivia Taylor is really annoying. I can't even stand looking at her.

[The Unseen]

Totally disagree. I loved Season 5.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

TBH I thought season 4 was the best season since season 1.

[Jughead10]

Do you guys rewatch all these seasons? So much crap happens in each season, I can't remember which things happened in which season anymore. Except for 1 obviously, and 6 for now. But by the time season 8 comes I won't remember if a certain event was in season 6 or season 4.

Season 2-4 are a blur to me. I just know from when I saw them all in a row that Season 1 and 5 were tops, and Season 6 was bottom. Season 7 fits in with the "blur" pack, perhaps at the lower end.

[Mr.Regular]

I think it goes
1,4,5,3,2,7,6

Anyway, pretty good ending.. much better than season 6's ending. I still have nightmares about the brutalness of the finale of that season.
I was pretty impressed with Tony's acting this episode and Kim looked very hot chasing the longhaired dude. Plus Jack was a complete badass, and Olicia Taylor is getting sent away. So I'm happy!

I've recently re-watched 1-4 and am currently re-watching 5, so I have them all down except for 6 which sucks anyway. I'd rank them:

1,2,7,3,4,5,6

Although I enjoy all seasons sans 6, and season 3 had the best episode of the series.

Was that the one where Jack defeated his heroin addiction in the span of an hour?

[RoyHall#1]

So, I stopped watching this season about 10 episodes ago I think, right after Jack got framed for killing the guy in the hospital. Is it worth finishing the season online?

[Brodeur]

The Death of Ryan Chappelle, although the heroin winning was greatness.

[Xiomera]

So, I stopped watching this season about 10 episodes ago I think, right after Jack got framed for killing the guy in the hospital. Is it worth finishing the season online?

Yes. The second half of this season was exponentially better than the first half. Everything changed. I hardly remember the first half of the season.

[The Unseen]

Best episode of the series is either the Season 1 finale or the Season 5 episode when what's-his-face dies at CTU because it got gassed.

[Brodeur]

Best episode of the series is either the Season 1 finale or the Season 5 episode when what's-his-face dies at CTU because it got gassed.

Edgar or Lynn McGill? And Chappelle's death was much more impactful.

[Mr.Regular]

The Death of Ryan Chappelle, although the heroin winning was greatness.
That was a tear-jerker, no doubt. Chapelle was such an ass, but in his final moments they really made you feel sorry for him.

[Smokey Joe]

Best episode of the series is either the Season 1 finale or the Season 5 episode when what's-his-face dies at CTU because it got gassed.
How dare you group the season 1 finale with when Edgar died. I couldn't stand Edgar, and I'm not gonna lie, it was a relief to get rid of him.

[The Unseen]

How dare you group the season 1 finale with when Edgar died. I couldn't stand Edgar, and I'm not gonna lie, it was a relief to get rid of him.

sorry, man, just how I felt. I liked the episode.

And yes, Ryan Chappelle's death is a top one.

[wicket]

so its a pretty safe assumption that the treatment works.

Other sample plot though for next season. Jack becomes the head of the new CTU, some crisis happens and he calls on an imprisoned rene who is in there for (not sure yet if its gonna be succesfull) torture on coach yoast(forgot his name already but the guy the had that tony wanted to kill was coach yoast in remember the titans right?).

[NotRickJames]

Totally disagree. I loved Season 5.

Word.

Season three sucked, worst season by far.

As for last night's season finale, decent stuff. Olivia Taylor gets what she deserves (err, well not yet) and Renee prepares to beat the shi* out of Wilson.
