"24" Bullet with your name on it. (Spoilers)

[vision63]

Yeah, he murdered Starbuck. She had it comin' but it was still murder most foul. Won't get into heaven with that kind of behavior. But I suppose since he's literally saved millions of American (and African) lives, he'll get a pass once he repents on his death bed.

"Stardoe."

And since nothing that character did made any sense and she did nothing to drive the story, killing her actually solves a lot of problems.

I think one of the greatest things about this story is Jack isn't a wild eyed psycho.

He's finally had more than he can take. He's (probably) making decisions he wouldn't under other circumstances. But he's no psycho. He's bringing all of his very deadly talents to bear on fighting his fight this time, even if there is a larger issue of justice and right that happens to be riding on his coattails.

Don't think Jack wouldn't be in this no matter what. Jack would be working to expose the nuke plot regardless. President Taylor has gone off the reservation herself and likely for just as personal reasons, as Kanin pointed out before he resigned. She has even more blood on her hands than Jack at this point. None of those 'private contractors' would be dead if she hadn't gone along with Logan's schemes.

I don't think Jack is planning on walking away from what he's done. I think we may see the series end with him headed for prison. Or, and this might make for a fascnitating ending for those that don't plan on following along to the movies, it could end with Jack alone somewhere just about to eat his gun, fade to black, silent clock, but no gunshot heard.

What about the movies? They could always be prequels, you know. :biggrin:

Damn I'm gonna miss this series.

The behavior is definitely more realistic and easy to understand (what with President Taylor going off the reservation as well).

However, this is TV, and what makes Jack such a compelling character to me is that he is better than all of us. In situations where we (definitely I) would crack and go Posto, Jack stays on task and strikes a blow for justice and the American way. That's what I like about JB and that's what allows me to "overlook" his less-than-textbook methods of neutralizing the Big Bad.

I hope the writers don't just let this go. JB needs to pay for this criminal act. I can accept JB turning himself in and heading to prison, or the gun in the mouth would be a very nice touch.

Whatever, I will definitely watch how this plays out.
