US Timeline 24 : Season 8 (Day 8) - Page 2

I thought it was a bit boring at first... until that last section, and *that* ending.

A shame though that the tedious filler story is still on-going (Dana).

I gave up on 24 after season 6 (the one where a nuclear bomb blew up part of some city, and hardly anyone noticed ....). Every season is more ridiculous then the last.

I was not expecting that person to do that... No surprise really.

Tezcatlipoca · 23-03-2010, 22:57

That was one of the worst ever twists-for-the-sake-of-having-a-twist

- "Hey, guys... seems the fanbase HATES Dana, & sees her character's lame story as being - at best - pointless filler. What shall we do? We can't ditch Sackhoff now?"

- "Dude, you should know by now what to do...

... MAKE HER A MOLE! You know we always have a mole in CTU, & you know it's always made up as we go along so it doesn't actually make sense."

- "Sweet! The fans will never expect that!"

It begs the question, is that what Kevin knew about her? And how did he actually find her?

Russ · 24-03-2010, 12:32

If they were going to turn anyone dark, for maximum shock value it should be Chloe. But I can't see that ever happening and I really hope it doesn't.

I thought we already knew what Kevin knew about Dana... back in her young trailer trash days, when she was "Jenny", she was his girlfriend & they committed crimes together...leading to someone getting killed, Kevin going to prison, & "Jenny" going to juvie for a while.

cimt · 24-03-2010, 20:09

I know that, I mean the part about her being with the IRK(?).

Tezcatlipoca · 24-03-2010, 20:14

Hmm. Doubt it, given the "make it up as we go along" writing.

Simply knowing her "Jenny" past (juvie criminal etc.) would have been enough for Kevin to utterly trash Dana's career with CTU, & he never made any mention of anything else.

24 has officially been cancelled. "Day 8" will be the last season.

Fox confirmed today that after eight seasons, 24 will air its series finale on May 24. Star Kiefer Sutherland told EW.com that producing a ninth season for another network like NBC was not an option because he and executive producer Howard Gordon were ready to call it quits.

Sutherland promised the series finale would tee up the 24 movie that’s in the works at 20th Century Fox. Billy Ray (State of Play) is writing the screenplay. “We wanted to create a definitive end for Jack Bauer,” explains Sutherland.

Spoiler:

It's a "US" thread, so spoiler tags are unnecessary for anything which has been broadcast in the US. The only thing I'd tag would be stuff from promos etc. for episodes which have yet to be broadcast.

What a complete mess up!

Of all the girls Jack could have ended up with, she was the best one. She understood Jack and they had been through a lot of similar things together.

Worst idea ever to kill her off.

Tezcatlipoca · 14-04-2010, 00:24

Yup

If only Jack had taken her to CTU instead of his bedroom...

I hope that she was gentle with Jack, given the many injuries he's already suffered during this "day". Don't want to pull open his stab wound, for instance.
