-about time chloe got that big time promotion. she been in ctu for how long running things?
-i swear the show dumb things down, jack been running around NYC killing bad guys for 16 hours, then, smashes Renee, then, puts on his pants and shirt to get coffee in his own apt (why, didn't he want a second round?), then carries her down like 10 flights of stairs, and then, he will chase bad guys for 7 more hours. I would of fell asleep after the smashing, no way a normal man has that stamina.
-mad props to the sniper for not C%$blocking
-I hope taylor gets assassinated, worst president ever
-when's agent pierce appearing?
I really don't understand the transition from IRK rebels to the Russians, but I'm still watching.

Dude went for 30 min..give him a break. 30 min for the first time in prob a while...hes the man. And with Renee no less. I wouldn't last a minute with her.
As for the IRK to Russians, I mean they were the ones who sold the rods to them. Russian govt/mafia are all together. If there is a link between the terrorists and the Russians, it might cause a big issue so the Russians are taking care of that. Unfortun, now they @+#++# themselves over by killing Renee.

RIP Renee, Jack had her cowgirl style in no time, lol
I for one like President Taylor, but i think she's making a big mistake in bringing in President Logan, he seems so suspect, and about time Chloe is running sh*t up in CTU, long overdue, I'm very interested in see where it goes with Hassan's wife stepping in as the president, at the same time, the daughter is so annoying to me, I'm thinking these last 6 hrs should be pretty good, I mean come on now, this is going to be the end of the show itself, I hope FOX don't disappoint us fans (fingers crossed)

Wow... didn't see that one coming. Yet another unpopular death on 24... when was the last time we had two silent clocks in a row!?
And for NYCers, how long does it take to get from Jack's apartment to that hospital??? Jack's phone said 8:53AM when Chloe called (Jack still has to carry Renee down the stairs, out to the street and hail a cab). They arrive at the hospital at around 8:57-8:58ish AM...

My roommate thinks that Hassan's wife is dirty
Terrible ending. I get that this is the end of the show, but I think the reason this show started falling off in the first place is because they killed off main characters. David Palmer, Michelle Dessler, Curtis Manning, etc. They chose to get
off one episode rather than think of what that could do to their show long-term.
Anyway, I have got to savor these last hours of 24. Seems like I've been watching this show my whole life, it'll be weird not see it on FOX every year.

[h1]'24' exclusive: The real story behind last night's killer episode![/h1]

Image Credit: Kelsey McNeal/FoxSpoiler alert: If you have yet to watch last night’s 24, stop reading now. Everyone else, onward and downward!
Last night, yet another of Jack’s love interests bit the dust, this time his female counterpart, Renee. And while the outta-nowhere tragedy will no doubt spin our hero off into another vengeance-seeking spiral, I’ve got questions. Lots of questions. Like, was the decision to whack her made before or after the show’s recent cancellation? How did her portrayer, Annie Wersching, take the news? And most importantly, why was she killed?! Exec producer Howard Gordon phoned me to answer all of the above, and he tackled another burning mystery as well: Who determines how many minutes it takes for Jack to make love to a woman?
When did you make the decision to kill her off?
HOWARD GORDON: At the very beginning of the season. I even told Annie and Kiefer [Sutherland] that that’s where the story was going.
What was their initial reaction when you told them?
GORDON: They both got it because it was a pretty simple story, one true to form for the show. We really were looking for an emotional anchor for Jack, and it was brought up very early in conversations about where Renee was, what she was up to, and how they would reconnect. But the idea that Jack again has this chance at happiness at the beginning and somehow this person — who he’s influenced in the last year — chooses to make this decision that has had terrible consequences for her and Jack and for which Jack feels responsible was really the hook to me about why Jack is really sticking around this year… We knew Jack and Renee would get a chance to reconnect, but there’s always been the moment of breathless real-time sex that we’ve looked for during the last nine years and it was something Kiefer and I talked about. And it felt like when else can they possibly do it than at the end of this story? And as you’ll see, the ramifications of [her death] are obviously what the rest of the season is all about.
Was there some doubt or internal debate about whether this was the right decision?
GORDON: Yes. We always have some doubt when we do certain things. We had a couple of thoughts and concerns, but the way the story fell it had to happen… My wife was literally in tears watching it. And when I can make my wife cry [watching 24], I know I made the right decision.
Where does Renee rank among the loves of Jack’s life?
GORDON: No one ever understood Jack more deeply than Renee, [so] she may have been his greatest love. Jack was always segregating — even with Audrey Raines, who he loved but who represented another world. A world that he had chosen to join and hang up his gun. So when that story started it was a very conscious choice on Jack’s part: I fell in love with this woman; I’m going to put on my suit and hang up my six-shooter. With Renee, she knew the worst part of Jack going in. Jack was the guy being brought up in front of this House Sub-committee and was a monster as far as she was concerned. He had done terrible things that were against the law that she could never imagine endorsing herself, but, of course, she finds herself in a similar position by the end of the season. Part of it, too, is that [Jack] has never had a romance that was in real-time. We saw every moment that Jack and Renee were ever together. So in that sense, it was the most 24-specific romance ever.
I thought it was interesting that you cut away from Jack and Renee for two whole acts after they started making love. Did a lot of thought go into how long it takes Jack Bauer to make love to a woman?
GORDON: Oh absolutely. And, by the way, Jack and Renee were not by any means done. I think this was probably closer to Round 1. I mean, he was just getting a glass of water. So yes, we were very sensitive about it because it’s a very sensitive thing. We really wanted to do it as tastefully and virile-y as possible for a man like Jack Bauer.
I can only imagine how that conversation went.
GORDON: [Laughs] Trust me, it was a funny and a fun and a real conversation.
Was Kiefer involved in that discussion?
GORDON: Yes, he was.
How does Jack bounce back from this?
GORDON: He doesn’t. This is a game-changer for him. It’s like all deaths. He’s lost something he can’t get back. He has a way he wants it addressed, and if he doesn’t get satisfaction and justice, you know, he’s gotta find another way. But it really does set things in motion that are pretty profound for the character and it’s a place I don’t think he’s ever gone before. It’s as dark and complex and as combustible as any place Jack’s ever been.
Switching gears, your last day of production was last Friday. How’d it go?
GORDON: It was an incredibly emotional day. I’m just so incredibly proud to be a part of it… This has been an incredibly strong season. I can [only] judge it in terms of what my own opinion is of the show and what I hear about it anecdotally from the people who are friends and family, but I feel very proud of this year. Kiefer is very proud of this year. People are happy to be ending with such creative vigor.

I wish 24 moved to HBO, instead of being cancelled. I always thought the best way to refresh the show is with a more mature theme (cursing, intense, graphic action, and some nude scenes).
