24: Live Another Day set us up for an explosive finale.
Our review breaks down what made Jack Bauer’s return successful.
Those are fresh legs.
Living in the past has inexplicably kept 24 churning in the present.
I could never hate you, she says into the phone.
Somehow, everything connected perfectly.
Transitioning from bad guys has been well-timed out.

Clearly Ive been wrong all season.
It seems like theres another way out.
They found the story they wanted to tell.
