Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow. The first 4 hours of 24 was INSANE, specifically the last one. This show has raised the bar so high for itself that now they have to do something completely crazy to upstage the previous seasons. And they sure did. It was crazy enough that well over a thousand people had died in bombing attacks but they REALLY added to it with the nuclear explosion. Goodbye Valencia, California. I wonder how the folks feel there, knowing that they destroyed their town on TV.
Poor Jack was just warming up after being held by the Chinese for two years. But you know it ain't 24 until Jack wounds or kills one of his co-workers. I'd hate to have this guy in the office. But Curtis played himself. I know he was upset, that was understandable, but he should've just chilled and waited. Hell, they gave Nina Meyers a pardon and Jack just waited for the right time. She killed his wife! Jack whispered something in her ear and she got mad scared. He got her ass the next season too. Curtis should've went like that. Poor stupid Curtis. Add him to the growing list of characters that had been on the show for more than a season and died. Here they are:
David Palmer
Sherry Palmer
Michelle Dessler
Tony Almieda
Walt Cummings
Edgar Stiles
Nina Meyers
George Mason
Ryan Chappelle
Curtis Manning
I'm sure I'm forgetting someone...Anyway onto the chart. I'm not gonna count the 900+ the apparently died before the show started, I'm sticking to what happened during the course of the episodes. And, obviously I can't total up the nuclear explosion deaths yet..so next week should see a big spike in that area.

O.K. so does this season finally cement the idea that 24 is actually about the history of the Palmer Family. What has become for 24 the black Kennedy's. Their rise to power their struggles and ultimate fall in trying to secure the safety of our nation. I mean we've seen more of the Palmer family than we have of Jack's. Just a thought.
