You want a 24 post, you got a 24 post!
Obviously, spoilers for those who plan to wait for the Season 4 DVD to come out before watching this.
For about three minutes, I thought this was the end of the show. All the elements involved: Jack faking his death, then disappearing during the sunrise with a new identity and life, sounds like a great ending to a great show. Plus considering that all the main honchos were returning - Tony, Michelle, Prez Palmer, Mandy - it looked like the writers were preparing for the end of the series. That was until the trailer, announcing that 24 will be coming back in January 2006. As much as I like the show, all I can say is, what more can they do? The whole faking his death thing was awesome, but considering he can't be around CTU (or the Chinese) anymore, what will Jack do or go next? We have to wait seven or eight months to find out. Season four was better than season three, but it still wasn't in the caliber of the first two seasons, IMHO.

I have a few theories on how they can have another season with Jack (I'm assuming Jack is coming back since they didn't indroduce any characters that could replace him).
1. Jack runs into some adventure on his own without CTU dragging him into it
2. Jack joins some secret ops team that the goverment won't admit exists anyway (and they don't give him any missions in China).
3. There's a crisis and they decide to ignore the fact that he's supposed to be dead and call him back in anyway.
4. Kim get's kidnapped; enough said
Or maybe Tony becomes the main character? Tony splits with his wife again, becomes an alcaholic, and starts shooting drugs. I've observed that this seems to be the best way to get reinstated at CTU.

Did anybody else think the resolution of the whole nuke missile thing was lame? I mean, the guy orchestrates all these various strikes throughout the day and then is dumb enough to have the kissile locator with him?! Then he didn't properly destroy it?! The part of the episode after that was really good though and made up for it.

I think that lame resolution happened because the writers were trying to figure out a resolution before Kiefer Sutherland yelled in their ears, "WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! SHOW ME THE SCRIPT!" *Fires gun at ceiling*

I think you're right. He may have turned into the sniper he played in Phone Booth!
