Now, for the recap.
Dammit = 50, one each for Jack and Ricky, and 48 for members of The 24 Blog
Perimeter = 1
Women Proven to Be Stupid or Evil = 0, unless Chloe has coupled with the Devil, a la Rosemary
Paternity Proven = 0 (including Chloe's baby)
Dead Bauers = None proven (the jury is out on Phil)
Dead Presidents = unknown
Barf Bags Used = 1 ("M" for the tender scene with Jack in a World of Pain)
Silly, Improbable Occurrences (even by 24 standards) = at least 3...Jack leaving Phil alive; Jack on rope ladder, Milo's supposed brother coming to pick up his body
IT Staffers in Hand to Hand = 0...no Kali Eskrima or ju jitsu
28 year old Hotties = 1 (Milo's supposed brother is a stone fox, proof that he'll come back as a bad guy next season. "M" thinks that the bad guys who came for Josh had possibilities.)
Dead Black Men = 0 that we know of
Resurrections = 0
Hair Gel Moments = 1 that we mentioned, although "A" did notice Phil having an issue, but held back ("M" mentioned the Josh messed up Grandpa's Hair)
Times "A" held back = multiple, every time Bauer Spawn whined
Telepathy and Correct Predictions = 2 or more!
Evil Veep Facial Movements = 1 (He smiled and one of his eyes twitched when the corners of his mouth curved up.)
Well gang, we don't have much to say. It was two hours of air and fluff. Nothing really even blew up real good.
("M" disagrees, and thinks that when Jack made a dive for the rope ladder from the exploding oil platform, it was predictable; she was at least pleased that something blew up.)
There were all kinds of last minute loose ends tied up. Karen and BIll exonerated and left to retire to Vermont. (Bill will probably turn the barn into a yoga studio.) Chloe and supposedly Morris are going to be proud parents to spawn of Chloe. ("M" says this might be proof that she is stupid, but I disagree. ) Josh is rescued from Evil Grampa. Cheng, looking a bit like a barbecued chicken, in custody. Evil Veep ready to take a nap seems a bit less evil. Tom has redeemed himself by brokering Karen and Bill's exoneration, and also taken Evil Veep off the hook for conspiracy...
But, loose ends: what about TEYOP? Blonde Toady? Who is Jack's mom? What is up with Milo's brother? Why didn't Curtis' brother come to pick up his body? What about Sandra, Walid, etc. And "M" wants to know where the service for Kumar will be.
What will we do until January?
We had a great time with this, although I have to say that I'll be glad to let go of TV for a while. We had fun with our new friends, and suggest that we come back and give it a try again in January. We've had some thoughts about what we might post during the summer and fall, although probably not terribly often!
"M" and Friends, anything else to add????
Coming soon this summer - More Adventures of Man Purse!

Be well, and I hope that your health (blood pressure, etc.) continues to get stronger and stronger!
Thanks!!! Peace Out!!
It's been a real pleasure blogging with everyone. LPK, I actually would like to hear more about your 6 week trip in a tent? That sounds really neat. Have a great summer and check back with us!
Kate and Tai, We will be checking the blog over the next few days for your comments! :-) Said in a staduim rocker voice "Thank you 24 BlogLand We love youuuuuuuuuu!"
Hey M,
The kids and I really do live in the tent. It's actually not 6 weeks straight. we do 3-4 weeks, then home 2 weeks, then back to our tent another 2-3 weeks. It's a lot of fun. I'll tell you more about it another time. I'm tired and I bet you are too.
I hope the little guy finally went down for you all. God Bless him!!
Have a nice summer M. Take care and thanks for everything!!!
walk gently, LPK
You should count how many times they used the word "sacrifice" in the show. When the first teaser-trailer came out for season six the whole "Jack Bauer needs to sacrifice his life" line stuck out like a sore thumb, from my point of view. And in the last episode they used that word quite a few times. Maybe they want people to start thinking, what would you sacrifice your life for? Or maybe not.
Thanks LPK, Tai and anon.
While I'll miss you guys (dammit!), it will be nice to let go of the perimeter around Monday nights. Until January.
In the meantime, other than the man purse, I'm sure we'll have some riffs on civil liberties during the course of the summer.
And in terms of sacrifice, will watch for that leitmotif in next season. Speaking of the topic, one of my yoga students returned to class tonight, fresh back from Fallujah and his second tour of Iraq...
