Day 6 Ends.....Finally...



After a very long day season 6 of FOX's 24 is over. I believe it was a very good season despite some bad reviews that are out there. Jack Bauer saves the day AGAIN and the National Security of the US is safe. I would say that the story was not that intense and lacked a lot of story twists as the previous seasons had but the 24 essence was there. It was a very long and emotional day for Jack, just to think that he came in and saved the world after spending a couple of years in a prison in China just makes you wonder if Jack is really human. Throughout all season we saw a very emotional Jack Bauer that was not present in previous seasons. This "new" Jack had of course that dark side that does inhuman things without blinking an eye. But the part that made Jack very emotional was being forced to go after his own father and brother that were a big part of the terrorist plots of the day and also having to save the sides of his family that still were on the "good side". This season introduced to us what is to me one of the great new characters of the show Tom Lennox. Peter MacNiol should win an Emmy or something like that for his great performance and personification of such a great character. Also I believe that killing off Milo was a mistake he should have at least gotten the chance of getting more involved with Nadia just like Tony got his chance with Michelle. The way that the season ended left the door opened for the producers to set the show wherever and whenever they want in our hero's future. I believe that a fresh setting and a new set of characters with those new ones that were introduced this season will give the show a nice new start and fresh felling. So until January of '08 we wont know what happened to Jack and friends after the end of Day 6. Overall i give season 6 a B grade. I should also say that a 24 movie is in the works for next year and I hope that the producers make it as a kind of prequel so that great characters like Tony, Michelle, and David Palmer can be seen again with Jack but this time in the big screen. I will post more about the movie as rumors surface.
