08.11 | Let's look at what you could have won...
Remember how after the penultimate episode I made some predictions about what would happen in the finale? Well, let's see how I did, eh:
President Palmer will get reinstated, otherwise the past six hours of screen time will have been for nothing. I'm sure his new lawyer friend will have a lot to do with it.
Well, duh, of course Palmer is made president again. You couldn't end the series with Prescott still in control. The worrying thing is that he managed to do the entire thing without his lawyer friend from last week. This proves something, but I'm not quite sure what. Probably that lawyers are useless, or something.Jack will shoot lots of people. He'll get his hands on Peter Kingsley, thus making President Palmer totally indebited to him for a second time.
In a rather smart move, Jack disabled the sniper who was about to shoot Sherry Palmer. Then he shot down Kingsley's entire squad of bodyguards. Pretty impressive. The losing part here was that he didn't manage to down Kingsley himself - he left that up to the guy in the helicopter.Kate Warner and Kim Bauer will end up at CTU, successfully navigating Kim’s first car journey without being kidnapped, shot at, mugged or held ransome for by those annoying people who hang around at traffic lights and junctions offering to wipe the windscreen or trying to sell you flowers.
My Sainted Aunt! Kate 'n' Kim did make it to CTU. And far earlier than I expected, too. Not only that, but they managed to make it to the stadium to see Kiefer at the end. That's two car journeys without anyone being stabbed, raped, kidnapped or blown up. If I was Kim, I'd get Kate to be my chauffeur.Sherry Palmer gets what she deserves. Face it, the recorded conversation that Jack overheard on Alex Hewitt’s computer dumps her right in the thick of it. Sherry’s a clever woman - does she doublecross Jack just to keep her name out of trouble?
Well, she did try. Kiefer's impassioned pleas of 'help me get the glove compartment open' stopped her from walking away, though. And she got arrrested at the end of it all, though.Finally, someone will let Tony and Michelle out of the holding room before they have enough time to get down and dirty. Hopefully he won't grew his beard back before the next series, too. And Carrie will disappear forever, because she's shit.
Hurrah! A full sweep! Tony and Michelle were let out. And they didn't get the chance to fuck. And with Tony being back in control of CTU, I doubt Carrie will want to stick around for a third series. Hurrah!
