Oh Mandy, you came and you gave without taking.

Well, I've had my problems with 24 this season, but I have to admit the finale 2-hour episode was a bang-up thrill ride. Marwan has a good ending, Mandy gets what she wants, and Jack has a cool character turn. Can we have a spinoff series now with Tony and Michelle leading a double life as suburban parents and anti-terrorist agents?

The only thing that bothers me is that the CTU agents didn't shoot the consul, it was friendly fire... doesn't anybody care about the facts anymore? For a minute I thought there was going to be a secret plot by Chinese nationalists to shoot the consul.
