Yep...I have to agree with this blogger.

The finale of last night's "24" was a snoozer.

This might go down as the season in which 24 "jumped the shark."

Jump the shark...

[verum ago]

Not related to the article, but if the French had their own version of 24, would it be called 6 to be in tune with the work day?

Jack Bauer...has he lost his "mojo?"

[Squidpup]

I disagree - I thought the last ten minutes were very powerful and well acted. The cliff hanger is more cerebral and nuanced than in the past, sure, but we are still left wondering - where will Jack go, what will he do? I don’t think it’s any less of an ending than when he walks down the tracks into the sunset at the end of season Day4. (it was Day4 right?)

Don't laugh me out of the room: I'm thinking that the networks, who are ALL losing viewership, might start "cross-marketing" some of their stars---Vic Mackey and Jack Bauer end up battling terrorist Cryps and Bloods in LA! House treats them as they both get wounded. And they need to bring in the "Heroes" to defuse the human bomb.

It can happen.

Seriously.

Next year, Jack opens a surf shop named “Hang 10” And the season is Jack on the beach reminisicing about the past six seasons.

Haven’t seen it yet. I have it on DVR, but if its like the first part of the season.... It started off great and then progressively sucked. Whats real funny is the fact that the shows own producers seemed to forget that 24 was supposed to be about 24 consecutive hours. They would have scenes like Miles gets his shoulder drilled out and an episode later (equaling 1 hour) its like nothing happened. I slam my finger in a car and I’m in pain for a day! These guys get shot, tortured and the hell beat out of them and shake it off like a road runner cartoon! Also how many times is CTU going to be compromised before they realize they suck at protecting themselves?

[Silverbug]

This season sucked...just say it.

Slow...drawn out...nowhere near the suspense of previous seasons, especially #2-5

[Lucky9teen]

Heyyyy....what's a little drama?

Sad to say, I hated the ending and thought...how anticlimactic, especially for '24'.

[Dumpster Baby]

Nobody saw Bauer Sr. die - he was last seen alive a few feet away from a boat......... Nobody recovered The Component.........

[ssaftler]

Nevius is generally a twit, but that's neither here nor there.

Having read in TV Guide that "24" is probably going in a major new direction for season 7 (i.e. no CTU, no working for the Government), the ending left everything open. Except Audrey perhaps.

Now, if James Cromwell would only do in real life as he did in the show last night...

I'd have to give season 6 about a 6 of 10, which puts as the worst of the seasons. Still much better than about 80% of the rest of the drivel out there.

Interesting, seeing as how Kiefer Sutherland is the program’s Executive Producer.

[newgeezer]

Happy to report no one in my household has any time invested in watching 24.

Sounds like this passing fad is just about past.

[TomGuy]

The part with Milo’s brother, showing up in the 5 a.m. hour, to clean out his locker, did seem farfetched.

The ‘action’ ended around 8:30 (CDT). They had to do something to stretch that last 30 minutes. Much of it was fluff and filler.

It season ending was disappointing, considering last season ended with Jack on a slow boat to China.

Jack is a changeling...who knows what he might be like next season. I can honestly say one thing about this season: apart from a few stupendous moments it was sloooow. And oh...I almost forgot: less or none of Nadya the President (Jim Jones) and Ricky. Bring back Robocop and the Muslim terrorists.

[JTHomes]

I don’t think “Jumped the Shark” is accurate; that is more about over the top, ratings-grabbing writing that doesn’t fit into the context of the show. This last season was not really off premise, but just not as clever and well written, with several anticlimactic subplot endings. Look at any of the prior seasons, and there are unrealistic, outrageous scenes: Jack’s wife’s death, cutting his partners had off with an ax, killing another agent, heroine addition, etc. This season’s nukes and torture scenes weren’t out of context. Still, episode by episode, I think it was the best series on network TV. Not the best season, but every series has a peak. I think day 4 and 5 were the best, and this season had unrealized potential, which made it disappointing.

And it still raised some thought provoking topics about whether to negotiate with terrorists, balancing civil rights with security, how the country would handle consistent, elevating terrorist attacks against civilian domestic targets - good and timely things to debate actively.

Bump!

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I think when Washington paid a visit to the producers of "24" a few months ago, they told them to rewrite the season. I doubt their chat had anything to do with what they publicly said was a "toning down of torture scenes."

This season was vacuous and boring. Something got red-penciled late in the season and hasty rewrites resulted in a lot of nothing.

Bauer's last scene at the cliffs was hilarious. I think I actually saw him CRYING, for Pete's sake. Jack Bauer CRYING?!?

Keifer! Lock that trailer and stay there till they find your character again.
