I guess with the possibility of a movie I should admit that he probably will be alive at the end after all. I think dramatically he should be dead at the end.
But if he's going to make a movie that isn't a flashback, I suppose he could be imprisoned. Then later the President can let him out when they need him to do something superhuman to save the world.

I'll admit Jack's course of action did result in a lot of collaterol damage.
Dana gave him every reason to break his promise and she got what was coming to her. I guess this ends any chance CTU will find that dead redneck parole officer.
There was no silent clock though. Maybe next week when they are taking Cole away, Dana will reveal herself to be the driver. "Hi, Cole. I know where Earth is and I know how to get there."

I know what you mean. Since whenever in this show has Jack killed with no remorse? And now that he does,...MOST every poster in here are rooting for his doing it?!?!??

You don't have to to dial 911
at our work 89 gets the outside line.
If you press 9 it sets it up for the 11.
It really seemed to pick up in the last 20, and jacks kill count went up by 5 including Dana.

Dam! who here didn't want to plant that seed, lol
and she still looks hot!
I actually thought that episode was pretty awesome. First Jack going all non-lethal on the Blackwater guys until he had to deal with ass-face, then he started capping motherfuckers, and even tossed a grenade. Then Evil Starbuck got put down like a dog. An angry Jack is an entertaining Jack.

Since at least season 2. He killed the pedophile and then sawed off his head. In Season 3 he killed Nina in cold blood. And in season 5 he promised the sniper that killed David Palmer to get him to a hospital if he talked (which he did) and then he killed him. And I'm sure those are not all. This isn't exactly new behaviour for Jack.
There's going to be a movie, so the series can't kill him.
Or a trick to make everyone think there will be a movie and then BAM surprise, Jack dies.
As stated above, Jack has killed people quite a few times in "cold blood." Nina Myers, and W.Palmer's shooter being two notable examples.
Both of them he killed when they were helpless and of no meaningful threat to Jack. He killed both of them in cold-blood out of revenge for his wife and David Palmer and when they were no longer of any use to Jack's mission.
What Jack did to Starbuck is no different.
I don't mind Katee Sackhoff's acting, it's the inconsistent rubbish writing that made her so unlikeable. If the writers had been consistent and didn't throw in redneck boy and friends, she would have been much more likeable and believable. As far as believable goes in 24 that is.
I'm not just talking about Starbuck--Jack went apeshit against the guys holding her as well. He's never been on a warpath to this extent, not even when he was after the people responsible for Palmer's death.
The way he murdered Nina was cold and should have cost him his job, but season three wasn't interested in lingering on that.
Howard Gordon explains the ramifications of last night's episode. It does give you an idea where things are headed so I won't post anything about there here, just provide the link...

One thing this confirmed is why this show needs to go off the air. Gordon states that they knew Dana had this secret past but they didn't know what it was. Then someone suggested they whip out their biggest cliche and make her a mole. So that's why Dana's characterization is so inconsistent. They literally had no idea what to do with her character so they just fell back on her oldest cliche.
Gordon also thinks fans were too hard on Sackhoff. I like her, she's a good actress but my dislike of the character had to do with the way she was written and mainly with the whole Redneck Twins storyline. That's what did the most damge to hear and the season.

Actually, I think I will discuss what Gordon talks about...
Basically, he states that Jack has descended into darkness and won't be riding off into the sunset. It will be kind of hard to clean up the pieces of Jack's current rampage when the dust settles I admit and it's reasonable that someone who has suffered the losses Jack has would eventually go crazy. But count me as disappointed because I hate to see Jack "go down" like this. Seven seasons of sacrificing everything to save the country and he can't even get a decent ending. I'm sure this will apppease the PC crowd. Makes me wish the show had ended after last season.
