Things We Learned on the 24 Season Finale
by Allen Stern on May 18th, 2009
***SPOILER ALERT***
Tonight was the season finale of the hit Fox show 24. Like last week, here’s a (very, very sarcastic) run down of what we learned tonight. And let me ask… who would win in a fight between Jack Bauer and Superman?

- Jack Bauer has fancy equipment but uses a 49 cent earpiece on his mobile – not even a bluetooth!
- Somehow Renee keeps getting a fresh bandage
- Kim is an idiot when she needs to be and smart when she needs to be (pen to leg)
- The government belives in compact flash as the memory of choice for secret recorders
- Bad surgeons can operate on people with their clothing on
- Kim knows how to open a protocol!
- The last time I got 170ml of spinal fluid taken out, I was able to pop up and kill three people with a dental pick
- What was the purpose of breaking the rear window of the cab?
- What is it with Fox and bringing back EVERYONE from previous seasons? They did it on Prison Break and now they bring up the old presidents?
- Why does it always seem like the good guys on 24 drive Ford vehicles and the baddies drive BMWs and the like?
- Somehow Renee was able to become superFBI in 2 seconds and sideride trucks, do rollover moves and then deactivate some bombs
- No kissyface?
- I guess Palin’s kid having a teen prego looks simple compared to this, eh?
Frankly I found the ending boring. First, a smile from Renee to the bad head dude would have kicked butt. Second, Kim getting there a moment too late would have been nice. Or the Imam could have delivered some news from some bad sector that got to him.
So next season we know that Renee will be the female Jack, Kim will be around with blood for everyone, Tony isn’t dead, and President Palmer will be back (yea we think he’s dead but ya’know).
WHAT ABOUT JUMLA!







I agree Allen – seems like the most boring finale for 24 yet.
we also learn the author of this piece is kinda dumb!
Oh yeah and the “priest” is called Mullah, not a “priest”. Muslims (piece
be on their beards) don’t call their “priests” – priests.
But I’m sure the author knows that, it’s just he was easy on us, unenlightened fans of “24″.
Thanks Serious Mac – I have updated the post. I thought that the man called himself a priest when Jack first met him.
Imam is the correct word for the Muslim equivalent of a priest, Allen :)
And yea, I completely agree with you. I was severely let down yesterday.
Thanks Hany – I will fix it again – sorry about that!
