Seriously. Talk about an actor that goes from being great on one show to being totally crippled by bad writing on another.
She was used to it. She had a stint on Bionic Woman during BSG, after all.
But now she's on Longmire.

What can I say, those things you mention don't really bother me. I will concede that the storyline with Driscoll's daughter ultimately didn't go anywhere and was only used to get her to leave CTU. But as I pointed out before, season 4 is the weakest to me, and it's stuff like that that is why.

Actually, the first1/2 of the season, she was actually interesting...when she turned EEEEVIL, was the problem.
So where did Belcheck come from? Have we seen him before, or an offscreen friend ofJack's.
Glad he survived...but he's gonna die (since he probably won't turn evil) next season.
Other than Chloe & Kate, who's left for Jack to mourn? Well..maybe Aaron Pierce.
Solid end to a solid season. I really hope we get a movie or something.
I'm absolutely shocked that Jack's personality-less cipher of a partner actually survived to the end of the season
He just seemed like a complete redshirt the entire way.
That was ridiculous that Kate would call him in the middle of a firefight to tell him the love of his life was just killed

The turnabout to evil was dumb, but there was nothing interesting about her during the first part of the season with her struggles with Redneck DiCaprio.
I thought she was the best part of the season.
...until she turned evil all of the sudden.

And the worst of all - Kim Bauer's crazy adventures in S2.
Did anyone else think that Jack was contemplating suicide when he gets the news about Audrey? His look of utter grief and despair and then we see him reach for his hand gun made me think that.
I definitely think the 12 episode format worked great. It allowed the plot to be a lot tighter, removed a lot of the filler and kept things more interesting.

Yes, that's exactly what was happening there, he was about to eat his gun. If the bad guys had just left him alone for another minute, would have resolved itself and they'd have won. Instead, they poked him a minute too early, and it turned him into a rage monster instead...
Same, although the silent clock did make me tear up a bit. I think I was more disappointed that Jack wasn't able to be there with her in her final moments.
Actually, it didn't really register with me right away because I was more concerned with the fact that the CIA never even contemplated that there could have been a second shooter. It was really short-sighted of them to just think it was one guy in a building and that was it.
They were latching on to the first bit of information they got an stuck to it... learned that phenomenon in 22 Jump Street the other day of all movies!

Just finished the finale, Audrey's death was well done, and made a fair amount of sense. Given the number of times she's been in harms way and not really having field experience. I'm not as concerned about the CIA not seeing it coming with the second shooter, they didn't have time to secure the area. That being said, they should have run such a high value asset straight to a car and hauled it outta there.
Heller's discussion with the British PM was perfect. William Devane earned his pay with that scene, the grief combined with the sadness of his upcoming loss of memory. Knowing that he has lost his daughter, but he will lose her again and again and again as his memory continues to go.
Given that the show isn't confirmed as returning and that there are questions to whether Kiefer wants to do the role again, I rather wish that they hadn't done the ending that they did. It was well plotted and everything, but still, the diehard fans who've been with this show since 2001 deserve to see Jack Bauer reach a more positive ending.

I liked the ending, and it makes sense for Jack's character (whether or not this really is the end or not). Jack pushed Tony to do the right scene in Day 7 and turn himself in, Jack knows he has to pay for what he did (which I'm still not quite sure what that was, I've just started season 8). Jack did the right thing by turning himself in, and he knows it.
Of course that was precipitated by Chloe being caught, but I think he knew it was the only play.

I did think this ending was really very depressing. Nobody's story ended on a positive note. The president talking about his memory loss was really just so tragic.
In the final minute, Chloe finally got rid of that awful makeup so that's a positive thing.
Yeah, though his operation which killed yet another high ranking official doesn't help his case any.
(yeah, I know it was Boudreau, but it was Jack's play)
The only real consolation Jack has is that Audrey died so that Jack could storm the vessel and save the world. But it's little comfort for a guy who's suffered the same type of loss repeatedly over the seasons.
