Are you going to watch the Series Finale of “24”?

Greetings again one and all. As I mentioned in my last post, I have no intention of watching the series finale of Lost. However, I fully intend to watch the series finale of “24” on Fox tomorrow night.

24 was first broadcast a few weeks after the 9/11 attacks by Al Qeda. The plot revolves around 24 hours in the life of the series lead, Jack Bauer, a member of CTU, (Counter Terrorism Unit).

The network was concerned at first that the premise of the series, that some sort of major terrorist attack was underway, would cause panic among the American viewers. What actually happened was a hit series as Jack Bauer would do anything to save the nation.

Of course this usually entailed torture, summery executions and lots of whining from liberals. In fact real life liberals hated this show. They even managed to force the producers to not deal with our true enemies, radical Islamic fundamentalists or RIF’s as they are more commonly called.

One of the traditions of 24 was that Jack Bauer would save the day, it would come at a horrible personal cost to himself. In the first season his wife is murdered. In other seasons, friends, family, even his own nation would forsake him, or die tragic deaths.

The final season continues in this vein. Jack and his new lady, herself a badly damaged person, finely complete the mission albeit unsuccessfully and retire to Jack’s apartment for some fun and frolic. After some “frolicking” Jack’s girlfriend is shot by a sniper and dies.

Jack decides to go on the warpath. The president, determined to be the next Neville Chamberlain, orders Jack locked up. Jack, of course, escapes and begins his retribution.

Of course, reality has nothing to do with this show, but who gives a damn? 🙂

Of course, there will be the obligatory body count as Jack gains his revenge.  So, who do you think will not survive Day 8? Let the world know.
