Seriously, this show is a thrill ride. I understand that Breaking Bad is "better," but this show will always have a special place inside.
Rot implies a long, drawn out death.
Never leave Jack!

24 is the equivalent of TV junk food. It's a guilty pleasure for sure, but damn if I don't have fun watching it.

If Fox decides to make 24: Live Another Day 2 Russia Edition they gotta bring back TONY, right? It's pretty much a given.

More like 4 hours escaping Moscow. 12 hour time jump. Save Los Angeles in the remaining 8.
Happy ending with Kim and little Terry.

I love Pokken!
How were the rates overall for this season?

I still can't believe that after saving Audrey from a sniper that they just casually strolled through a park instead of getting her ass into a bulletproof suv and gtfo. Well that and that she was even allowed to have a meeting in a park at night with what was going on.
Good but not the strongest I believe.
If 24 has taught us anything, it's that you can travel between any two geographical locations in the time it takes to air a commercial break.

William Devane's acting during that speech at the end was incredible, so haunting.

Terrible cliffhangers are terrible. 
It almost made the biggest cop-out ever in the series worth it.

Epicness.
I think Kim is more likely. It's really the only remaining thing Jack would fight for. The last words Jack said to Chloe were about his family. He also warned the Russians not to target his family. In fact, the ending pretty much spell it out.

Behrooz, Tony, and Kate break Jack out of prison.
And Behrooz as the human meat shield.

My issue with this final episode is that everything felt so..... samey.
Jack love interest killed + revenge spree, Kate leaving CIA ala Renee leaving FBI, and another foreign prison for Jack. Wish they would've done something different but it's clear that they wanted to leave the door open.

I would love a 24 "season" in movie form (one new movie a month 2 hours in length) :-D.
24 can't end like this, would have preferred Jack dying to save the world!
I don't really agree with this criticism.
I mean, yes, it was very par for the course when you distill it like that.
But its execution was so much better than what you're describing.
Kiefer, Yvonne, Devane, Sean Callery all killed it.

We need the real 24 movie now, it can be jack breaking out of prison and stopping Russians from being evil or something .
It can't be a break out, I imagine, as they have to finally put closure to the Russian threat to Jack and his family. They have to figure out a way to craft the story where Jack is out, or about to get out, or his release is negotiated to wrap that up.
I don't know how you'd do it, but if FOX wants them to, they'll find a way. But if you're doing a breakout, Aaron Pierce has to be on the team, damnit!
All in all, I found this a satisfactory series finale, if it is. Although I will always pine for an ending where Jack gets home and reunite with his family. But if the ending is to wonder what happens to Jack under the Russian's control...well he went on his own terms.
This was a much more powerful episode then I expected. Lost it at Audrey's silent clock and Heller's talk to the PM. Great stuff.
Cheng got exactly what he had coming.

A 24 movie is never going to happen. I believe that's a big part of why Live Another Day happened.
Only if I were a billionaire I would fully fund the movie.
I could see some sort of season building up to breaking Jack out. Have Jack be the special guest star in the last episode.
Or...don't have him, because they killed him months/years ago.
If the show never comes back, no one will make me believe Jack dies in some hole in Russia. Seriously, 8 seconds post silent clock, he's killed everyone else in the helicopter with a box cutter and a brick, and he's flying that helicopter back to the U S of Fucking A.

Yeah, I also wanted to mention that Callery did a great job with the finale, the score really was excellent and added a lot.
Fitting ending, IMO. We know Jack never gets the happy ending. In a way, he sort of did in this finale; he realizes he has someone he can call a best friend. If the series were to end here I'd be fine with it. They could have surely messed it up had they gone another route.
Edit: Not going to lie, I thought something was going to happen there at the end to Jack. Either he be shot or the heli be shot down I thought.

They should pull a Homeland, where Jack is released and goes back to CTU as a Russian mole. But really it's just to smoke out another Russian mole who was there to make sure Jack stayed mole! OMG, make it Tony! Then it's a Tony vs. Jack. But actually, it wasn't Tony, it was a one-armed man -Chase! I knew it was you, Chase!

Why do people say have a season without Bauer. No way, there is one reason to watch this show, Jack Bauer! No jack, no 24.
To unleash some of dat Season 8 rage.

I think it's 13 kills to take him to 300 over all the seasons. But I'm not sure.
He got close.
