Since I haven't watched the finale of LOST yet, I can't speak to it yet. But tonight I did watch the 24 series finale and I have to admit, I'm really gonna miss that damn show. Jack Bauer was one of the coolest, toughest, iconic TV characters ever in the history of TV. Sometimes we'd go "oh yeah, right", but we'd just tune in next week to see how Jack survived whatever was thrown at him. And yes, there was a more than average amount of predictability in the finale, but who cares. I enjoyed it. And when the last few minutes were happening in the final act, I started to dread that it was over. I really felt the show ending. And they did the final 5 minutes so well...perfect images, perfect music, perfect tone, perfect acting. It was tough not to be more than a little sad about the whole thing ending. But I guess I should just be thankful that the very success of the show was what allowed it to end it's run on it's own terms. It could've gone down like when Laverne and Shirley moved to California, then so did Lenny and Squiggy and the Big Ragu, Carmine Ragusa too...
So, in the end, I'm very happy with the entertainment I've received from 24 and I'm thankful that the network allowed the writers to go where they wanted with the scripts and the messages therein. That show made me think alot and it entertained the hell out of me. I'm gonna miss ya 24. Cheers.
