24 to End at Season 8?

Good news for terrorists everywhere: With just one more year left on Kiefer Sutherland's 24 contract, there's a very real possibility that Jack Bauer's career as the world's foremost savior may end next season. And while Sutherland says he's undecided as to whether day 8 will be his last, he's watching the clock in a way he never has before.

"I don't think about [the end of 24] a lot, but I did this year for the first time," he confesses. "It was one of those weird moments where the stage was unusually quiet; it was like a ghost town. I was looking around [thinking] about all the work that went into building this thing and it hit me: This will end one day, and I'm going to be sad about it.

"Whether season 8 is the end or not, I don't know," he continues. "I love making the show, so I'm leaving my options open. And in all fairness, I think the audience will dictate that more than anybody."

In the meantime, perhaps even more critical than determining when Jack will pack it in is how. "There are two obvious choices: Jack dies, or Jack finally has a happy ending," suggests executive producer Evan Katz. "It's actually an interesting discussion as to which would be more faithful to the show and more rewarding for the audience. Because if we give him a happy ending, part of the audience would be mad at us for doing what is easy. And if we kill him, they would be mad at us for a different reason altogether."

There are also the bean counters at 20th Century Fox to consider; they'll need Jack alive if there's to be a 24 movie franchise (as many expect there will be). "Kiefer and I have always said, 'Jack Bauer's gotta die,'" says fellow EP and frequent director Jon Cassar. "But then the idea of a 24 movie came up and we went, 'Oh, okay, maybe not.'

"I always joke that Jack dies and they discover he's been the terminator the whole time," Cassar adds with a laugh. "That's why he never died [and] why he can't stay in relationships. And then they take another Jack Bauer off the rack and send him out into the world. It makes a lot of sense, but I don't think it'll happen."

I wonder if the husband of the president is gonna survive tonight.

My guess is Yes since if he was suppose to die they would not have run it for 2 episode. I think he will find force to fight back having enough recovery time due to the poison and delay before the girlfriend of his son came back to her apartment.

On season 7, we will surely see the real death of Tony.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
