Recap

Ok, the last 3-4 hours have made up for the entire season. Yes, we had some hair gel moments. Some moments of geographic improbability.

(And I don't know if they actually filmed any of this in NYC, but I swear that some of the scenes looked like they were filmed on W. Broadway below Canal. But I digress.)

Women proven Evil, and then outed = Dana
Dammit = Whoa, at least 7 or 8
Perimeter = It hasn't made up for the whole season, but whoa
24 Cardinal Rules Broken = 2 (handsome black men are all still standing; and Arlo survived his last trip to the server room with a psychopath)
Jack wound up killing a ton of people.
Manhattan? Saved.
The Rods? Secured.
The Constitution? Actually in fairly good shape. That's Obama era 24 for you.
Improbable conversations involving heads of state = at least 3

That's some TV for you. And I'm sorry about President Jack Lord. Really.

And, I'm curious about what can come next. (A first for this season, curiosity!) There's what, another 7 or 8 hours, that's at least 2 full plotline opportunities for the world to come to an end.

Will Dana turn out to be the daughter of the discredited President, Logan? She's got a little bit of Jean Smart in her. Will we see Tony again? Will Jack, Kim and Baby Teri be reunited in LA? Will Chloe get home to Prescott and his babu?

Will Arlo survive the season?

And will we ever stop wanting them to bring back Nina?
