AH did another fantastic recap.
Another thing that stood out to me is Kate calling Jack to tell him Audrey died.
Really?! She couldn't wait until after he captured Cheng and prevented WW3? Not the best time for that call Kate lol |

| I really thought the whole setup was Jack to die and Kate to be the new Jack. I was so sure of it that I didn't post anything to not spoil the wouldbe surprise. Oh well. Guess they left the door open to the series being about Kate trying to get Jack's situation resolved or something. She did a pretty good job I thought, and I would buy her as the new younger, semiinexperienced Jackie. |

I'd definitely watch Jack plan and then execute an escape from a Russian prison. |
Been watching too much Mission Impossible 4?

The producers said that they discussed a bunch of different scenarios for the finale, including killing off Jack. They just didn't think killing off Jack was the best fit. If Kiefer is like most actors in a role like that, he's looking for a good swan song for Jack.
I really don't see Kate as an alternative to Jack. You could build a new type of series around her, but it's pretty hard to sell a woman in that sort of physical role. It's been tried before with mixed results, most notably in The Long Kiss Good Night. It's a little hard to swallow. (Yes, I know that it has been done in various super hero and sci-fi movies, but that's different from something that is supposed to be reality based. We accept Scarlet Johannson as Black Widow in that context, but would we accept her doing that stuff as a real world cop?) |

I would sure. She pretty much did that stuff in this season. Plus she got tortured (if that's a 'plus'), recovered,shot people('+'),led teams, smart. She just needs to work on her "Put it down, NOW!" freeze-scream. |

I looked her up. She was in season 2 as a little girl who bonded with Kim Bauer. I can't say I remember that plotline.
Anyway, RIP. |
