So Predicatible

It concluded. Its over. Now the long summer, autumn and probably a significant part of winter. Yes, my friends ... Jack Bauer has completed another season of 24.

You say who cares? Well, then go back to watching your basketball championship, look forward to your baseball playoff, your preseason football and your football season and in between don't forget your fantasy pretend make believe sports. You probably watch an occasional hockey or golf when you feel the lack of sports.

Well for those of us that would rather watch a man routinely torture and maim the enemies and an occasional friend of this country it was a sad evening. The final two hours of the really longest day.

Of course it had a predictable ending which I will not share with you in case you are a loyalist but had to Tivo or DVR the episode but there were minimal questions remaining and yet ... you might have predicted the outcome maybe four or five weeks ago.

Leave it to say, the highlight may have been Chloe attempting to give Janis (Janeane Garofalo) a compliment. Wow, you almost see Chloe smile. It was an amazing moment.

Of course, we are left with what could next season possibly bring that could top this last seventh season or the prior six seasons. I ask this because, using another author's convention, my wife felt the need to own all of the prior seasons on DVD so we can watch and rewatch and rewatch them over and over to make sure we do not miss even one small clue of Jack Bauer's quest to save the world.

Let's see ... 24 predicted a black man as president ... and we have Obama ... of course the 24 black president gets assassinated. 24 brings us a woman president ... well if and I am not advocating this but if the president, vice president, speaker of the house, and I thing some one else gets put out of the way ... we could have President Woman (Hillary). You thing far fetched ... I don't know Bill really wants back in the White House ... so ...

Well, lets leave it say Jack saved the world for now, left us with a potential future conspiracy ... and may have given us a future team member who understands that torture is only torture if its being done to your guys.
