----------------------------------------

So there we have it. The era has ended. The show we have come to know and love since 2001 has come to an end, nine years later. 24 is over. Done. We have just witnessed its final two episode ever. But what a finale it was!!!

With that the season ends, with Jack's eyed fixed on the camera as the drone feed fizzles out and the screen fades to black and the 24 clock counts backwards 00:00:03....00:00:02...00:00:01...00:00:00. I found that backwards count very 24-esque and it justs reminds us how unique the entire series really was.

Lets begin with the end. After being ordered back to CTU, Logan ordered an ambush on Jack's transport back to CTU with the objective being to kill Jack. Meanwhile, President Taylor watched Jack's farewell message via SD card which proved to be a change of heart. Taylor backs out of the peace treaty and orders the hit on Jack be stopped. Just in time she reaches the men by radio and order them to stand down.....This scene where Jack and Chloe share a few words serves a closure for their "through thick and thin" relationship over the seasons. Their relationship really did play a huge role in the series in that Chloe's motivation has always been to help Jack when in need.

So President Taylor proved to be the driving force in this whole battle in that, her change in action caused the change in the entire situation. In a season where corruption seemed to have distorted our notion of how posessed the most power, this put everything back in perspective. With her power, Jack was safe from all who wanted him dead and was free to go.

Logan, that clown! He finally ran out of clever manipulative recovery plans to calm himself, so he just loses it. Murdering Pillar, then shooting himself through the chin. Whether he is dead, we are not sure, but most importantly, he failed.

That video that Jack recorded while in that closet preparing to snipe Logan...who was that addressed to? Jack never actually established this as he justifies his actions taken that day. My best guess would be Kim Bauer his daughter, but I guess this one is up to us to decide.

I could literally go on and on about these episodes and the season as a whole, but that might take an entire 24 hours to read. I figure before the rating, I will pose a couple questions of the top of my head that are left to ponder now we have no more episode to watch:

• What happens to Pres Taylor? Impeachment? Force-out?
• Where does Jack go? Possibly the question to be answered with a feature film.

RATING: 24 stars out of 5! These two hours were nothing less than amazing. A thrill ride from start to finish. Couldn't have thought of a better way to end the greatest series in television history. At this point, a feature film is a major topic of discussion and it would be a major letdown for them not to have it. From what I have read, the film would take place in Prague, Czech Republic. So for right now, imagine that is where Jack is fleeing to.

That will do it for our beloved 24. Thanks to every single person who played a part in making this groundbreaking show possible. It really became a part of my life that I will cherish forever. Goodbye 24, you will be missed. Tick tock...Tick tock.

After 5 kills last week, Jack's count rocketed to 29 Kills! Here we go with 3 episodes remaining. This is the last week before the finale, expect it to be spectacular.

1:00pm - 1:13pm

• Jack tells Reed to contact her editor who she can trust.
• Logan tells Pres Taylor that she's got to smother the press and kill the story that could get out about the cover up
• Jack jacks a car and heads out to chase Logan.
  

1:17pm - 1:25pm

• Jack Bauer it his finest. What a classic!
• At least 2 shot....dead?
• Never seen any character in 24 as freightened as Logan just was.
• What a nasty suit Jack had!
• Logans in Jack's hands now.
  

1:29pm - 1:35pm

• Jack got the name of Novachovich off of Logan.
• Logan's unconsicous, Jack's still on the move.
• Chloe might be out to go find Jack's partner.
  

1:39pm - 1:45pm

• Editor tells Reed to lay low, FBI is at office
• Chloe gets Cole out of holding.
• Jack gets Novacovich's location from a guard, then shoots two, one dies, the other gets up and stabs Jack. Jack fights back, kills him.
  

1:50pm - 2:00pm HOME STRETCH!!!!!!!

• Cole heads out after Ricker
• Jack has absolutely ran thru Novacovach's room and killed everybody besides one. This is intense.
• Jack bugged Logan!! Jack knows all! But Jack is bleeding....

---------------------------

WHAT A SHOW!!! I dont even know where to start! Well Jack did Logan dirty again! Roughed him up, scared him to death, got his info, and bugged him! I dont think I have ever seen a more freightened character in 24 ever. Now Jack knows all. He's got all the information to take care of anybody responsible to everything that has happened. The only varible now is how he goes about his business.

How about the scene of the Novacovich's room after Jack had apparently rapaged through it! Bloodied bodies laying dead everywhere. Pools of blood. Then a fire poker jarred through Novacovich's gut into the carpet with a gunshot hole in his head! Could you imagine what that rampage must have looked like. For some reason, they decided not to show you, but that would have been epic!

Speaking of epic, that suit that Jack came up with was just awesome! Darth Bauer coming for Logan! That thing was inpenetrable, He was just taking bullets as all the wanna be secret service agents fleed for their lives. Jack is the real deal and Logan's face showed it. "Thats Jack Bauer!!!"
Meredith Reed, caught by FBI. she handed over a memory chip, but is it a fake? Taylor says that she will be the only one that looks at it. But at this point, does Jack even care anymore what happpens to the evidence? He knows who to go after and that seems to be all that matters to him.

Rating!!! 5 STARS OUT OF 5!! Easiest rating ever. Might be one of the single greatest episodes of 24. So great. Couldn't really ask for more. Intense the entire time. But where do we go from here? 2 more hours left and thats it. Its sad when you think about it, it really is. That deep voiced guy at the credits puts it best when he says "the end of an era."

Jack Bauer Kill Count - Are you kidding me? Jack must have wrecked nearly 20 kills this episode. Much of it was too unclear to count, and at this point it doesn't even matter. Right now we have to worry about Jack being the next victim of a kill count.

The Following Takes Place Between 11:00am and 12:00pm

Time to get Jacked Up! Lets Go!

11:00am - 11:15am

• Dana wont give up any info. She claims she has no evidence
• Jack and Cole move in on Dana's location.
• Sick beat by Callery
• BOOM! Yeah Jack! One down. Sharpshooter.
• TWO MORE!
• ANOTHER ONE!
• Jack, Cole, are attempting to escape with Dana.

11:19am - 11:25am

• Dana told Jack where the evidence is located.
• Prez allows logan to appoint his aide as an overseer at CTU

11:31am - 11:35am

• Jack is officially being head hunted. Logan wants him dead.
• Cole and Dana head in to open the safety deposit box.

11:40am - 11:46am

• Bomb in the deposit box!
• Cole is knocked unconscious.
• Dana shoots the bank guy with the gun.
• She calls the police on Jack.
• Dana's on the move.
• This show is good.

11:52am - 12:00pm HOME STRETCH

• Police try arrest Jack but he escapes and chases Dana
• Jack hunts down Dana until she runs out of ammo.
• Jack shoots Dana in cold blood.

---------------------------------------------------

Dana Walsh or Jenny Smith, or whatever her name was, is now dead. Shot and killed by big bad Jack, who just might be out for blood. Now keep in mind, she did not get the silent tick which could mean one of three things. One, probably the most unlikely, being that she is not dead, but with 4 hrs left, that is very unlikely. It could also mean that Dana is simply an "evil" character, therefore undeserving of the silent tick. Or it could simply mean that she wasnt important enough. Regardless, this shouldnt really matter as there are merely 4 episodes left.

I for one am glad that Dana is done. After she blew up Cole with that deposit box bomb and shot the bank guy, I started to really hate her. She was constantly screwing everything up. And through this, I am know certain I am rooting for Jack in this whole thing, but who isnt?

But what exactly is Jack's motive in this? Does he want to turn in the evidence and let the justice system take care of it....OR does he want to break it down, and personally execute every person involved as Dana said. Jack's actions is this episode definitley point toward the latter.

Jack was doin work in the first segment of this episode and started us off with a good note with 4 kills in the first 10 mintues! Most impressively was the mid sentence persicion shot on the man holding Dana hostage. Don't test Jack Bauer.

And how about that police officer who was clearly aware of Jack's reputation and freightened by the mere sight of him. He knew he was beat as soon as Jack made a move. For once the old, "Do You Know Who I Am?" worked on the police.

Rating: 5 Stars out of 5. Get used to seeing this as we head down to the final 4 episodes. Truthfully, I will be disappointed if all of the following episodes are not a 5. But this one was undoubtedly derserving. Lots of action, unpredictability, and deal making and breaking. Good stuff from 24. We only have 3 more weeks until "the end of an era". Remember these next episodes.

JACK BAUER KILL COUNT: 5 Kills this Episode! including Dana Walsh!

Season 8: 24 KILLS!!!!!!
