Events Occur in Real Time? Not Any Real Time I Recognize.

NOT MUCH TO say about the 24 finale, save for the fact that I really was rooting for Jack to die. The tribute to Chloe was nice; it was great to see President Logan eat a bullet, finally.  (And whack a guy.  Seriously. WTF?)  And it was fun seeing Nazneen Contractor in there, too.

I smell spinoff! "Totally Chloe!" Wacky office comedy with Guns!

But you know how in horror movies & suspense movies now they have to do that thing to get rid of the cellphone?

I'm glad they saved that whole "Rewind the tape on the Predator, and then dispatch it immediately, and then have it make a direct microwave call" thing til the series finale, cause -- Dude! -- that is some SERIOUS FUCKING DEUS EX MACHINA.

Seriously? Is this the same CTU that had a mole every season and never once successfully set up a perimeter in EIGHT YEARS?

I'd like to see the writing room come up with Day 9 after you've pulled THAT Shit.

Anyway, Dink, Dink, Dink, Dink we hardly knew you.  There was lots of quiet/loud Jack Bauer yelling, which is always good times.

But beyond that? Ehhhh.

Maybe it's best to just go back to sunnier, more innocent times, and remember and ruminate one more time on How 24 Changed Everything for writers.
