I Want Jack Bauer to Have a Happy Ending on 24

  \

Season after season I watched the Fox Series 24 Staring Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer. While not all seasons ended on a sad note, Jack Bauer always got the bad end of the deal. He would save the world and he would be in trouble at the end of the season. He has been on the run, been a victim of a toxic leak and the list goes on.

This past series 24: Live Another Day ended very sad , I was heart broken at the way it ended. Yes, This is hard to admit, but this 51 year old male cried like a baby when it was all over. It was not enough that we had the President taking his daughter home in a casket, and he has Alzheimers's, it was what he said. He let the viewing audience know that soon he would not even remember his daughter and would never know she existed. As sad as that was I could have handled that.

But to add insult to misery Jack Bauer surrenders himself to the Russians to save the life of his family and long time partner Chloe O'Brian played by Mary Lynn Rajskub. We don't know if there is going to be another season for Jack Bauer. To think this could be the last time we see Jack is very sad to me. If there is only one more day for Jack Bauer then I want the end to be Jack goes back to his daughter and Grandchild.

Maybe that's the point of the whole Jack Bauer story is that you can't always have a happy ending. Jack does the job to get the job done and will blow away anyone in his path. Could Jack Bauer fit back in to a normal society? That question may be part of the reason he never has a happy ending.

So for however long it takes, the 24 fans will  have this question. 

I wonder whats going on with Jack?
