24 speculation

Spoiler alert: if you are waiting to watch 24 Day 8 on DVD, TiVO, on the internet, et cetera, don't read anymore.

Since (a) this is the last season of 24 and (b) they've offed Renee and denied Jack a happily-ever-after:

its a very sad moment for jack, but this time i hope it will be so personal to jack, as he will avenge the death of renee, i hate the part that renee would end on that scene, i thought renee will be the last terry for jack, i guess all the leading ladies of jack ends up dead, i wish renee lived cause jack and renee are good to each other, same experiences, well thats the descision of the director of 24. so jack will stand alone against the terrorist. its a sad episode, jack was so emotional on that part. i hope 24 will still continue with more seasons and episodes.

Is there any doubt that there will be a stupid ending to Day 24? I know, I know, there is going to be a 24 movie but my guess is that it will go back in time:

As for the actual series finale, Gordon told EW.com that he and Sutherland considered everything from a happy to a tragic ending for Jack Bauer and ended up with episodes that take some risks: “We go to a very definitive, very complex place.”

Stupid ending possibilities include mental illness (e.g., M*A*S*H), a minute of blank screen (e.g., Sopranos), jail time (e.g., Seinfeld), pretend death (e.g., 24 Day 7), gibberish (e.g., Twin Peaks), gibberish in a 2 hour movie (e.g., X-Files) and [add your own long-running TV show stupid ending in the comments section].
