i can't help myself... i stopped smoking long ago... i know it is bad for you, me and everyone around you or me, but every time somehow when the final of a 24 season comes around i can't control myself. season 8 was a highlight of television history... again and yes... i did it again. how can these people make 24 hours make so short ??? i mean... it's 24 hours... o.k. take out the commercials and you loose 2 house or maybe 3, but anyway... it's amazing. if time would pass so fast during work, i would be home in a jiffy... the only thing i can think right now, is... you can't let jack die... not even in the upcoming movie... my perfect ending is the rambo-ending... make a movie and at the end blend in " 40 years later"... then show him sitting on a farm... peacefully with horses and cattle. this way you don't kill this hero, but still have the chance to put out a season in a couple of years or maybe not. but after everything WE and HIM went thru, you just can kill him. after watching season 8 i will need some days to get back to normal again... it was just to nervewracking... and i promise i will quit someking again as soon as i get ahold of myself again... till the movie... at least that is what i promise my wife, and i manged it after every season finale... at least till the next finale came up.
