I liked the seaon finale for 24 last night, but I have a tweak that would have made the ending perfect:
They should have ended with scenes of Jack Bauer being beaten up by the Chinese while they played that song “Bad Day” that they always play on American Idol when a finalist is voted off. It would be a great cross-promotion, and it would be so perfect if they faded to black with the last couple seconds ticking off as the final notes of the song played.
“So you had a bad day…”
Every time I think I’m done chuckling at that, I start again. That would be such a hilarious ending…
And, but, also, how great was it that after slapping his wife around and threatening to drug her into oblivion, President Deadeyes tossed her a hankie and said “Clean yourself up, you’re a mess.” Did anyone else IMMEDIATELY think of Clinton and Juanita Broaddrick? I know it was a different line, but the correlation was obvious to me…
I’m not pleased with the cliffhanger ending. This is my first season watching 24, and I entered into this agreement under the false pretense that each season concluded with a finite resolution of the day’s events. They lied to me!!!
Having Chris Daughtry sing Fuel’s “Bad Day” would’ve been a good cross promotion choice too, especially if he signs on as their new lead singer.
Perfect! …and on so many levels.
I keep hearing the perky Bette Midler/Barry Manilow “Slow Boat to China” tune whenever I think of that ending.
Next season: Jack Bauer vs. 1 billion Chinese.
Sounds fair. Just wait till he figures out how to kill someone with a pair of chopsticks.
I miss your wife’s summary. 🙁
Tell her to get better soon.
Jack Bauer Shanghied! What a buzzkill of a finale. Hope Bombtruck is right. That could take a whole season. Plastic, ivory or bamboo? Will he put ’em in little boxes with little wire handles? Delivery or pick-up? I can’t wait!
A better ending would have been one in which I found out what the heck happened to Wayne Palmer.
Not that I care, I just don’t like loose ends.
Dude, they need to send Chuck Norris to China to rescue Jack Bauer (not that Jack will need resuceing). How sick would that be?
Jack Bauer kills all the Commie Chinese with a Kung-Fu chop taken from the Little Red Book.
