What an amazing climax and series. Best one out of the lot for me (casting aside the Dana bullshit, but I can live with that).
These last two episodes whipped along - the storyline never faultered, the acting was outstanding (the scene where the President revealed the conspiracy to Hassan stands out in particular), Logan was absolutely brilliant and the ending was incredibly tense, emotional and carefully concluded all at once.
I think Season 8 was brilliant pretty much all the way through. Again, the Dana plotline was real cliched 24 guff, but the rest of it made up for it. The male President Hassan in particular. It was a very political season too, which I loved. And one in which absolutely everyone seemed to become filled with deep corruption and hatred. It was a dark, dark season really.
And nothing,
nothing is better than the scene with Darth Bauer coming to take Logan.
Other than that, pretty fun, though the ending was a bit of a let down - all it took was for the president to realize the power of love....
Well to be fair she's never been happy with any of Logan's calls. And the further she kept agreeing with Logan, the more it betrayed her principles and alienated her from everyone around her, such as Ethan. I thought it was a reasonable move on her part. And the knowledge of Russia's involvement was bound to get out eventually. Shit was always going to hit the fan with a move like that. But she was blinded purely because of the peace treaty in her grasp, has there not been, I'd have no doubt she would retaliate. And I dunno that the presidential pardon would have held up considering she confessed to her own crimes at that point. Otherwise she could have just pardoned herself as well. Besides, it's not just Americans he had to worry about, it's the Russians as well.
I'm actually surprised that CTU hasn't found that parole officer guy that Dana killed. He's been dead for several hours so one would think that he'd be starting to stink up the place by now.
That's left for the movie surely!
Speaking of I found some hidden footage from the movie!
