Wrapping up Season 8 and what seemed to be a wrap to the series...Key plot pointsChloe’s rise through CTUChloe at CTU is often not ideal this season: setting it up that she works there only because she has no choice, the perception at the beginning of the season that Dana is really smart but it’s because Chloe is made to seem more incompetentShe’s often really great though: her debrief with Renee is so good, as is her threatening Frank HaynamIt’s insane that she goes from being the unwanted staff, to being de facto lead on the floor, to being interim director in the space of 17 hoursChloe as director doesn’t work because so much of the reason we love her is her loyalty to Jack and her seeing beyond the bureaucracy to do what she knows is rightAs director she loses a lot of that - see trying to capture Jack instead of helping him get to Dana - and while her shift back to exposing the Russians is good, it’s still a fairly meh version of ChloeA satisfying end to the series?I certainly remember feeling fairly content with the ending when it first airedReally important that the final 8 episodes were as good as they were because if they had continued like the first two-thirds, it would’ve been a really low point on which to endI’m still firmly in the camp that season 7 (also 4) would’ve been a better ending than this season, but I’m a fan of this oneSeason 8 overallSeason 6 felt tired, as though there was a structure they tried following and there was a monotony to it, and like it needed to take a break to reset (which obviously it got from the writer’s strike)Season 8 feels for so long like they’d run pretty much out of ideas and opted for a lot of repetition in a lot of placesAgain, possibly a bit of the tired factor but also it suffers from an issue where it often feels like the show is trying too hard to surprise viewersDespite the final run this is undoubtedly the second weakest season

Jack enlists Cole and kills DanaJack goes to old Special Forces friend Jim Ricker for surveillance equipment and an arsenalDana is moved to a black site by a private security firm to prevent Jack from getting to her, and to find the evidence she has against the RussiansChloe sets up Jack for capture by Cole, luring him to a fake address where Dana is, but Jack sees through it and convinces Cole to help him expose the cover-upThey rescue Dana and go to a bank to get the evidence, but she explodes a device to subdue Cole and try to escape by calling the police on JackJack catches up to her and kills herRevenge for ReneeJack contacts Meredith Reed so she can publish the story about the Russian involvement using Dana’s evidencePavel and his team use the meeting to trap Jack but he’s a step ahead and with Ricker capture PavelJack realises Pavel was the one who killed Renee and tortures him, eventually slicing open his stomach to retrieve his SIM cardDoing this reveals to him that Logan is involvedJack vs Logan and SuvarovJack traps Logan’s motorcade in a tunnel and takes down the Secret Service agents to kidnap LoganLogan breaks easily and tells Jack that Mikhail Novakovich, the Russian Foreign Minister, is behind thingsJack goes to Novakovich’s hotel and kills him and his staff/security, although is wounded in the processHe planted a listening device on Logan (again) and overhears that Suvarov is involved tooJack gets a sniper trained on Logan and ready to shoot Suvarov, but Chloe manages to talk him down before he assassinates SuvarovChloe tries to get the Logan/Suvarov audio uploaded to CTU to be sent to everyone in government and every media outlet but she’s stopped before she canThe President’s demiseEthan resigns after Taylor walks back plans to pull out of the talks due to Dana’s evidence, after she has Dana taken by the private security firmTaylor cedes much of the managing of the situation with Jack to Logan, albeit still being the one to make decisions in many circumstancesShe agrees to have Logan’s role in the process made publicWhen Dalia is contacted by Meredith, she confronts Taylor about the Russian involvement, and Taylor threatens Dalia with retaliation for the day’s attacks unless she signs the peace treatyWhen Jack is arrested and the evidence seized, she watches the video Jack made for Kim Taylor declines to sign the treaty after Suvarov and Dalia do and tries to save Jack, but she’s too lateLogan kills Jason Pillar and shoots himselfEndingLogan’s team of mercenaries are about to kill Jack when Taylor calls and tells them to stand downShe tells Jack she’s withdrawn and apologies, and that they will both have to face consequencesJack thanks Chloe for everything she’s done for him and she promises to protect Kim and give him time to escape

Key plot pointsJack: law-breaker or hero?This is the most interesting moral debate the show throws upI think this is the best character development season for Jack, as he goes from a bullish pride over his past to having to forgive himself for mistakes made during his career/lifeThrough Jack vs. most everyone else (primarily Larry, Janis and the President) with Renee as the character in the middle the season is utterly fascinating in exploring the way “Do whatever it takes” can impact upon someoneI really like that the show doesn’t go for the “is torture effective?” route, because barbarism has clearly been effective in every other season (see: Jack not pushing Assad’s man far enough) and it’d be silly to retcon thatInstead looking at the impact of it on the torturer is far more watchableJack’s illnessI think this would’ve been a really good way to end the showPerhaps the only thing which falls short is how understated Jack being infected is to begin with - I love the scene in which he finds out the results, but then it’s a bit like “well yeah he’s dying, what did you expect?”Jack and Kim’s scene is GOLDReally sad to see Jack struggle so much throughout the final few episodesJack and Renee’s “15 people on a bus” scene is PLATINUMReally love the interaction between Jack and Imam GoharThe evolution of Renee WalkerThings get off to a shaky start with her - the “Do whatever it takes” at Schector’s is great, but then backing down on it the following episode is notDevelopment after this is superb: she’s dragged into Jack’s world but not fully his mindsetInteresting to see she doesn’t hesitate to interrogate TannerThreatening Vossler’s wife and child clearly bothers her - love her “Tomorrow” thoughMarika’s death is the indication of their differencesLarry’s death breaks her and as a result, her torture of Alan Wilson feels like the inevitable final step for the seasonSeason 7 overallThis would rival season 5 if not for the final six episodesThey’re just so bland, so stereotypical villain plot with Tony as the villain no one believes can actually be a villain, in a villain story that isn’t engagingEverything before that is magnificentIt feels different to the first six seasons but familiar enough; it’s energetic again Not to harp on about season 6, but season 6 felt like it was going through the motions of existence, where season 7 from start to Tony always felt like you needed to sit up and take notice

Key plot:Tony has just killed Larry Moss, and Robert Galvez has the canister of the pathogen.Tony has Galvez find a building, then blow it with FBI agents insideJack figures out Tony’s working against them after a discussion about Vincent Cardiff, the guy Tony found out about the White House attack from, but Tony steals Jack’s anti-seizure med-pack and escapesCara convinces her group including Alan Wilson to use the pathogen now instead of saving it for attacks next year, and they go about framing Jibraan Al-Zarian for the attackAfter Cara meets with Hodges pretending to be his lawyer and suggests he must commit suicide to save his family, Jack offers Hodges protection - but Olivia Taylor decides to have him killed by Martin Collier’s contactUsing CTU archives at FBI, Jack manages to find Jibraan who has been set up to be on a Subway train when the canister of pathogen explodes, but they get it out in timeTony has a man watching Kim as she goes to the airport to return to Los Angeles to force Jack into breaking Tony out of custodyThe hostiles are outed and Kim manages to save the laptop after Sarah is killed and Bob is in a car crash/fireThis leads the FBI to Jack and Tony, where he has armed Jack with a bomb to murder Alan Wilson - the man who killed MichelleRenee saves Jack and Jack stops Tony from killing WilsonRenee decides to go in and prepare to torture Wilson Ethan and Aaron team up and recover a recording from Olivia’s office to expose her role in Hodges’ deathPresident Taylor decides that she can’t bury the evidence and has her reprimanded to the Justice Department, in a move which causes immense friction between her and HenryJack accepts his impending death with Imam Gohar but Kim arrives and decides she wants to do the stem cell treatment to try and save Jack’s life

Key plot pointsBill’s deathThis is so sad - saddest death? Up there (alts: Mason? Edgar)Ends a nice mini-circle for Bill, who an hour ago told Jack he couldn’t question Burnett - in a way he’s responsible, about ten minutes pass between that and Larry’s call - so to sacrifice himself to save the President is greatThe bioweapon arrivesThis is a very quick shift into the next threat - again with the relentlessnessOnce again, Jack putting a civilian in harm’s way expecting them to behave as they were going to before meeting themAdmire the fact that Jack has no hesitation in stopping the leak once he notices itOlivia v EthanThis antagonistic attitude between them from the get-go is a bit madWe learn almost instantly what Olivia is and see it in action very quickly afterShe is fairly narcissistic; does she not realise her mother is the world’s most powerful person? She doesn’t need to try and make a power grab (Tony in S4: “I don’t need to establish position. I’ve already got it”)Ethan is right to resignHer blackmailing of Ken is incredible, particularly given that she got herself out of a hole she dugHodges’ ultimatumIs he the most deranged villain the show has had?The bioweapon being loaded onto the missiles makes it an entirely pointless threat - why not just use missiles?Do enjoy the tension of it all thoughAnd also the air of confidence about Taylor when Hodges is arrestedThe Tony twistThe scene itself is fine at best, it sets up where the only outcome is the one that happens or Galvez kills both Tony and Larry - and quite frankly the show was never going to have such a major character killed by such a nobodyIt feels like a very 24 twist in that he’s done plenty of good and “he’s changed” type stuff - Jack even speaks to Taylor about taking his positive actions into account 30 mins before - and then thisI suppose at least he was on the other side of the law before S7

Jack, Tony, Bill, Chloe and Renee raid Dubaku’s office space, rescue the Matobos and destroy the CIP deviceThey decide to go to President Taylor to expose the existence of corruptionAgent Vossler takes Henry Tayor hostage and gives him to Dubaku, who blackmails the President: withdraw from Sangala or Henry diesJack and Renee threaten Vossler’s family and get to Henry, but not before he’s shotThey discover Marika Donoso, Dubaku’s girlfriend whom was told his name was Samuel Aboa, and ask her to keep a meeting with Dubaku and they’ll followIn the sting operation Marika crashes the car and dies, while Jack gets a chip containing the co-conspirators’ namesThis includes Sean Hillinger and Erika, who tried covering their tracks at the FBI but Sean killed Erika and his name was on the chipTony tells Jack there’s another threat from Juma and Ryan Burnett, Senator Mayer’s chief of staff, knows about itJack tortures him in the White House but is stoppedJuma attacks the White House as Renee escapes Laurent Dubaku, Ike’s sonJack gets Taylor into the lockdown but Aaron Pierce can’t get Olivia Taylor there, and Juma finds her and forces the President to open the doorContact:@The24Podcast24faithful.com405-771-0567

Jack is facing a senate subcommittee, only to be pulled out by Renee WalkerShe’s investigating a group led by Tony, who’s actually alive and has the CIP device, which allows his group to breach the government firewall and access the country’s primary installationsBut after capturing Tony, turns out he’s actually working with Bill and Chloe to find the source of massive corruption within the government, perpetrated by Ike Dubaku and his boss Benjamin JumaThey’re undercover with David Emerson and kidnap former Sangala Prime Minister Ule Matobo and his wife, having to fake Renee’s death in the processThey double cross and kill Emerson and wire Matobo so they can track him to DubakuNew President Allison Taylor is planning to invade SangalaHer son Roger died between Redemption and S7 but husband Henry refuses to believe it was suicideHe is given evidence by Samantha Roth, Roger’s girlfriend, that two of Roger’s managers at his brokerage firm were doing business with firms linked to SangalaHis Secret Service agent Brian Gedge is a traitor though, paralysing Henry and killing Samantha, before trying to hang Henry as a suicide - only to be killed by Henry

Bradley and Joel discuss some of the over-arching themes throughout Season 6 - what worked and what didn't. We also discuss 24: Redemption, the 2-hour TV movie that sets up the scene for Season 7.Key plot pointsRacial politicsClear picture of the season inside the opening four minutes: Middle Eastern man eyeballed with suspicion on his way to work and denied access to a bus, only for an East Asian man to blow it up; cut to the Oval Office crew arguing over Tom’s detention facilities and the restrictions of freedomsThe Walid facility stuff highlights their pointlessness and leads to Wayne rejecting the proposals - fine - but then the show just kind of forgets its stance? Nadia’s denied access and it’s just like *shrugs* - until Bill leaves, then he sorts the issue with no fuss“And yeah, she is a Muslim. That’s enough to go on. Everyone here is thinking it, even if they won’t say it.”But then Doyle is also a reader of anything religious??!??!?!?!?!?!?Assad being framed for Palmer’s assassination attempt is again abysmal; presumably Daniels looks at America as being almost all white and just a handful of other ethnicities2007: about 65% of USA was white (non-hispanic)Yet attempts to rally what I’ll loosely define as “his people” against what I’ll loosely define as “them” by pinning the murder on Assad (not to mention threatening Tom to get him to support this)Nukes don’t matter, apparently24 created a seismic moment when detonating a bomb to kill 12,000 people but it also meant it played all its cards four episodes inYou can’t explode another bomb because a) as everyone says, it would ruin the country forever; b) 24 isn’t interested in fallout and cleanup and recovery - it’s only interested in the drama of the here and now (this isn’t a bad thing per se)None of the other bombs ever feel like a threat:The one Jack disarms, who cares?Five minutes pass and Jack doesn’t even remove his shotgun until the act returnsThe metal plates move twice in 11 seconds but I guess they hadn’t moved in the five minutes before? These also seem to move more quickly the closer to the potential blast we getThe tension is completely false because Jack isn’t going to die in a nuclear explosionIf this bomb goes off, Fayed’s chopper absolutely doesn’t survive it There are 5 nukes that pose a grave threat to the US: this is one, and it doesn’t even get mentioned in the previously in 2-3pmWe spend 4-7pm with no danger from the bombs because they’re getting the parts for and assembling the drones, then the drone one is stopped fairly easily (again no tension)The last two obviously never get used but Fayed’s line ““We’re going to take out Downtown Los Angeles” is so bad, so emptyMarilyn BauerThe romantic tension between them begins the moment they first share a frame, and never endsJack finds out about Audrey from Marilyn because there’s a hint they could hook up now Graem’s gone, *six hours* after his deathThis is just… so horrible? Every single momentRena Sofer is incredibly wooden (The Bold and the Beautiful)Season 6 overallBADRedemptionThis is really good?The real time concept is broken with the pre-title...

As we get into this last part of season 6, we have a shift of focus as Jack kills Fayed and then gets a call from Cheng. We also see Bill Buchannan being dismissed from CTU and Nadia becoming the acting director of CTU. And then Wayne Palmer has also collapsed after coming out of a coma for a short time, putting Noah Daniels back in charge in the White House.Leak in the White HouseAttack on CTUPhillip's returnAudrey's conditionChloe and Morris
