  • Terrific Cliffhanger!!

    "Perfect"
    By wikiager, Jun 25, 2011 Report Abuse
    Season 2 finale of 24 was excellent!. It doesnt came to the first one level, but if the episodes gives you more action than the drama or surprises of the past, and you only have to judge about the action of the episode... i say that the action is fast and truly exciting. It doesnt play with your emotions despite the final scene with Palmer (this is the unique finale which doesnt ends with Jack). And the action is top notch and spectacular. See Jack Bauer fighting and shooting is the answer about why everyone consider this carachter as one of favourites of any TV show!.moreless

    This second season of 24 is not as perfect as the first season. But it has great twists, an engaging plot, unforgettable and necessary moments and some characters which makes you have a suspenseful time. So, it's a very great season. For me has a 9,6 out 10.
    And it's finale is on it's overview level: a superb ending, fast and light, suspenseful and with an ending twist that leaves you with a shape of a "O" in your mouth.
    I mentioned that is not as perfect as the previuos season ending, but its cliffhanger is really unexpected and leaves at the edge of your seat.

    A really great ending and a really worthwhile season.moreless

  • Fantastic way to end Things and Star Others!!!!!

    I think the writers might not have arranged better ending than this one.

    Its only behind Season 1 finale by little.

    Michelle and Tony are free and the way the writers did it, was very well done, however, you had to suspende your believes a little.

    Also sherry Palmer finally did a good job by Jack Side.

    Jack Scenes was very suspenseful and , because you think that kingsley will not fall for Jack Plan. Jack health condition help too.

    Good action too for a Season Finale. The Final Scene between Jack and Kingsley was very good, its like a inverted situation for whats happened in season 1.

    Palmer Plot is over and its a pleasure how the writers closed this situation about Palmer administration and mike too.

    The Final Scene it is a surprise and leave you with a great Cliffhanger for the next Season. Not everything in 24 is supposed to end well.

    Overral a great Season Finale for a great season with a badass Jack, nina return, CTu attacked, A conspiration plot, some impossible and helpless situations, make this one of the Best seasons, Until some season comes to surpass this season 2.moreless

    Yes it is, a good episode. And as with last year, the last seconds of the ending make it worth a lot. But if I think this was a season ender and with all the things going on, this is the end. I am not all happy. I think the season in full was little slow and many filler parts that not been needed and the ending was what we all expected. Maybe it felt because in first year, 24 was something totally new and shocking and now we all know what to wait. Maybe.

    Anyway, I liked how everything worked out very well for everyone. I like the plot twist in the end with Maggie.. Jack getting his prove, Palmer back in office (for not long)... It was a good episode.. a really good one but... it could have been little better.moreless

    Just to get one thing out of the way, the whole plot thread surrounding Alexander Trepkos and Max is overkill.
    To get another thing out of the way, Novick suddenly requesting CTU's help in bringing Kingsley down is a little cheap. Just last hour, Palmer was locked in a room while the bombers were heading for the Middle East, and Tony and Michelle were arrested for conspiring against CTU. But now, some new information solves those problems and causes Jack to get help from pretty much every direction. Well, there's less than an hour to go until S2's end; I guess the writers need all the help they can get to resolve the story with a happy ending. Yeshappy
    Kim's problems are over, or rather, the Kim problem is over. Sure, she's still in the episiode, but when the writers actually come up with something good for her, she isn't all bad. Kate's story has ended as well, though the Warners still get a creepy reunion in Marie's holding room. Yay for closure!
    Jack quite literally saves the world by proving that the Cyprus recording is BS and getting Prescott to call off the war. In the process, he gets involved in a grand shootout Kingsley and his gun-toting minions at the LA Coliseum. This action sequence alone gives the S2 finale high points, and brings the WW3 crisis to a very good climax. The main characters all get their "goodbye" scenes, and Palmer's public press conference brings a large feeling of grandeur to the season's closing moments.
    And another crisis pops right back up, but you needn't pay attention to that. S3 certainly didn't.

    Hourly Highlight:
    Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Jack Bauer: the amazing, wall-running CQC neckbreaker!moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • As of the Season 7 finale, this is the only one where Jack does not appear in the final scene. Edit
    • When Mrs. Palmer asks Jack if he'll take care of things if something happens to her, Jack says "I'll take care of it, Mrs. Palmer" on the audio. Close-captioning reads "Nothing's going to happen, Mrs. Palmer." Edit

    ADD NOTES
    • The resolutions to many of the storylines from the finale of Season 2 were never fully wrapped up on the show. However, the 2006 release of 24: The Game for the PlayStation 2 did in fact answer many questions, including who was behind the attack on Palmer's life. Edit
    • As an April Fool's joke on the crew, producer/director Jon Cassar revealed this fake ending to Day 2. Palmer's press conference ends and he goes down to his limo. He gets in successfully and rides off. After a while, we find out that someone is sitting next to him. That someone is Nina Myers. We realize that Palmer was in on the whole thing. We then shift to a scene in the desert. We close in on a parachute, then pan over to reveal George Mason, who jumped out of the plane before the bomb exploded. Edit
    • Mia Kirshner is uncredited in this episode. Edit
