"For all intents and purposes, Jack Bauer is dead."

What a finale of "24" last night.

Before I get into that, some work comments: worked sucked royally yesterday. ROYALLY. I was there until 6 because of some wacky case where we accidentally paid some outside expert double what he should have gotten. This one consultant here talks too much about stuff... thinking out loud, repeating herself a million times. I tried to escape numerous times, but it wasn't working.

So I finally escaped, and Red picked us up to head to her parents house to watch "24" on their big screen (like a movie screen). Her parents were really nice! I've met her dad before, and her mom was really talkative and friendly.

Now, about "24" (do not read further if you didn't watch it yet)...

What I didn't like about the episode was how easy it was to destroy the missle that was headed towards LA. When they finally located it, a fighter shot it down like it was nothing.

But the rest was awesome. They way they rescued Tony, and he was then reunited with Michelle. Audrey breaking up with Jack. And the Chinese wanting Jack, but thanks to Palmer, Jack was able to get out of it with his life intact. Well, kinda. People in the government wanted Jack to have an "accident" so that the Chinese couldn't get any information out of him, and when Palmer found out, he told Jack, who then was able to effectively fake his own death, with the help of Tony, Michelle and Cloe. So now Jack Bauer is "dead," and has a fake identity and will go into hiding somewhere (maybe Mexico). I wonder how season 5 will start (it begins in January).

And now Melissa and I will get to catch up on seasons 2 and 3. Then we will be "24" pros. :)

Class tonight. Blah. And it's raining... it's supposed to rain all freakin' week. This doesn't feel like the end of May!
