Most absurd ways to end "24"

So, "24" ends its run on television this season.

What's the silliest way they can end the series?

How about this:

Jack finishes off this season's mastermind and breathes a sigh of relief, suddenly an un-seen terrorist flunkie presumed dead on the ground appears behind Jack. Jack turns around and sees him just long enough to get a bullet to the head.

Suddenly, we see Jack startle awake in bed with someone else. This person stirs awake, turns on the bed-side light and we see it's Teri! She asks Jack what's wrong, Jack responds with that he just had the wildest dream he's ever had involving several terrorist plots he had to undo, Teri died, many of his friends and family died/turned on him and it was just the wildest dream ever.

Teri tells him not to worry about it, suddenly the phone rings, Jack answers it, and it's Nina calling him into work as she did way back on Day 1: The clock counts us down to Midnight.
 
How about an alarm clock goes off to signify the end of the show when the timer hits the end of the hour this season? lol

But actually this may sound like a silly idea, but I wouldn't mind it.

Jack solves this days terrorist situation and the 24 ticker just goes haywire and starts jumping forward ala the Time Machine movie and we wind up jumping into the future. Jack & Freckles are getting married, suddenly the church's doors open and Wayne Palmer staggers in shot in the arm telling Jack he needs his help. Jack gets off a one-liner takes off his tux coat and he's packing. Freckles of course has a handgun on a hoster on her leg. Tick, tock, tick, tock... movie time :p
 
Aliens landing and the first thing they do is say "We have a terrorist situation and we need Jack Bauer!"

:techman:

For that matter I guess they could just teleport him to a mothership
 
Jack is named Secretary of Homeland Security, and shortly afterward EVERYONE above him is killed in a bombing at the State of the Union Address, thus making Jack the new President.

Secret service isn't there to protect President Bauer; they're protecting everyone else from him.
 
Being that there will be a movie set in Europe I guess it would most likely lead into that.

The craziest way for the show to end?

That would be "good".

Nah, some Japanese guy should fly a plane in to the Capitol Building. Much cooler than a bomb. :cool:

This would be the greatest ending 24 could possibly muster :lol:. That Hastings this year finally acknowledged that Jack kinda...KNOWS WHAT THE HELL HE'S DOING was a major step for this show. Too bad his heroism re: saving LA + the President countless times was never really noticed until now.
 
The president is really a secret Al Queda spy and it turns out only Jack knows! Only no one believes him. The fake president is going to sign over America to Osama Bin Laden in exactly 24 hours and it's up to Jack Baur to stop him. Now that no one of the good guys side will help him, he has to cross the aisle and get help from all the shady people he had been torturing and being a jerk to. (There will be lots of revenge punches in the dong and visits from people we thought were dead.) In the grand finale, as the president is preparing to sign the bill, Jack captures a predator drone and reprograms it to kill the president of the united states! Whew! But wait! The evil bill the president was going to sign? It was really a bill to name Jack Baur President for life!

Jack has been fooled by Al Queda. They knew the only one powerful enough to kill Jack Baur... was JACK BAUR! Now the predator drone is after him. Jack, now the PUSA, quickly writes a bill to severely cut military funding and in a historic show of bi-partisanship passes it with a 54% vote with only 32 extra addendums attached for constituent interests. Now no longer supported by the military industrial complex, the predator crashes harmlessly in the reflecting pool of the Washington monument. Whew! Relieved, the former president picks up Baurs bill signing pen and quips, "I guess the pen really is mightier than the sword." Jack quickly grabs a secret service pistol and, before anyone can respond, shoots the pen out of the hand of the now ex-president. The camera pans in on our bloody and bruised hero. "That kind of shit doesn't fly in Jack Baur's America." Roll credits as some awesome rock music plays.
 
Through a complex series of plot twists the finale ends with an ultimate showdown between Jack Bauer and Chuck Norris. The sheer awesomeness of their confrontation causes a rip to occur in the fabric of space and they are sucked into another dimension where they must engage in a never ending battle for all eternity.
 
I think it should end with Chloe getting her own spinoff. Just seeing her interact with people is becoming the best part of 24 now...
