I thought this would be a fun idea. Over 7 seasons, we've had the days end with just about every range of emotion you can think of... well, everything except for joyful elation. In 7 years, I don't think we've yet had one ending that we can say ended on a fulfilling, happy note. So, here is a brief summary of the final scenes of the seven seasons to jog your memories. Choose only your favourite in the poll but please rate all 7 in your post! Rate away!
Please compare only your feelings of the final moment of each season - NOT the season as a whole or the final episode.
Day 1: Jack discovers his pregnant wife Terri, shot dead in CTU by the traitor Nina Meyers. Jack cradles his wife as he weeps and tells her how sorry he is for not preventing this.
Day 2: After an outdoor speech informing the public that the crisis is over, President Palmer collapses, his fate uncertain, after being poisoned during a handshake with Mandy.
Day 3: Jack breaks down and weeps alone in his CTU vehicle as the full impact of his actions during the day take hold. This doesn't last long, however, as Jack receives a phone call that one of the captured terrorists is now at CTU waiting to be interrogated. Jack tells them he's on his way and then drives off, determined once more.
Day 4: Having faked his death to prevent further danger from government members wanting him dead, Jack walks out of CTU into the sunset to start a new life.
Day 5: Captured by the Chineese, Jack begs Cheng for death; a fate he is denied. The cargo ship he is a prisioner on speeds off towards China, with Jack's friends having no idea where he is.
Day 6: Having decided he will not take Audrey Raines away with himself for her own good, Jack stands outside the home of James Heller looking at the ocean, wondering what lies ahead for him.
Day 7: Jack is in hospital, critically ill with a deadly pathogen. Kim is informed that it is not too late to attempt an experimental stem cell transplant from herself that could possibly save his life. After asking for this procedure to be performed, she leaves with the doctor to go and prepare.

That way no one knew that they were ending it with a cliffhanger.
