Sorry


But Kiefer was 24 to me. Watching the show on DVD I actually fast forwarded the parts that had no Kiefer, but having said that I wouldn't put down this show but just think they should have started all over again with a different idea and story line. There can be no 24 without Jack. And yes, I do agree Jack's story needs to be resolved, let him walk off into the sunset, happy for once!

You're right. So, now we are led to believe Jack is leading a horrible life in Russia for all these years similar to the way it was when he was taken prisoner in China when he could actually be happy and content spending time with his family. I don't understand why they can't give him a little bit of happiness after everything he has done for the good of the United States. The writers aren't happy unless he's suffering.

I heard that they had even scripted the original LAD ending to involve the time jump having Jack land in LA and being reunited with Kim and his grandchildren but they CHANGED it at the last moment to that stupidass Russian ending. We were SO CLOSE to getting that ending.


I didn't know that, but it make sense that the writers did that because they don't care about the fans that want a happy ending for Jack, they just want that bad staff will continue to happen to Jack and that he will more suffer. Jack has 8 bad days that he has suffer and lost a lot in them and the writers could not just do one day with a happy ending that can resolved his story. LAD was excellent besides for the ending that was horrible. I can't accept this 'ending', It's not a true ending! Why the writers can't care about Jack character and give him a proper ending? Just do it, it's in front of your eyes!

Even if they could have Jack make a short appearance in Legacy and wrap up his story in that series, I'd be happy. (But wrap it up with a happy ending)

I agree, this isn't 24 to me, this is just another attempt at a similar show.

I believe no one can fill Kiefer Sutherland's shoes at an attempt of 24 and that's just the way it is.
