Conversation in the SWNID family room at the conclusion of tonight's final episode:
Daughter of SWNID: Now Jack will have to kill all the Chinese.
SWNID: There are 1.6 billion Chinese.
Daughter of SWNID: I know. It sounds like a fair fight.

Adieu, Jack Bauer!
Tonight we bid farewell to another season of 24, looking forward to the season that we expected this season to be. We only wish it was Audrey with a swollen eye on the slow boat to China instead of Jack.

The dissatisfying part of last night's episode is that the President's wife could have elicited the same confession from the President instead of delaying him through seduction and trying to set up an elaborate kidnapping by Jack Bauer.
All she would have had to do to open the conversation again was to tell the President that she knew that he had had Aaron (the secret service agent) killed. She could have said that she witnessed Aaron being thrown in the trunk of a car and that he was bloody.
That would have forced Logan to defend himself. And it all would have been on the same mic that Bauer had at the presidential compound (before he got on Marine One).
But then Jack wouldn't have been the hero.
It should also be noted that last night was the first time Jack has ever killed anybody in cold blood. He stepped over a line that he has never stepped over before.
They should have killed off Logan (along with the dreadfully annoying Miles) and made Chloe president.
Didn't Jack kill Nina in at least room-temperature blood?
Didn't he kill that guy at the beginning of season two so he could saw his head off to establish his cover? I'd call that at least a cool-blooded killing.
At what temperature does blood freeze?
Human blood begins to freeze at -2 to -3 degrees celsius. There has been a demonstrated degree of variance, however, when hydration levels of the organism are manipulated.
Organism or person?
Any organism, really, is effected by these factors. I prefaced the comment with "human" not only because it was the point of interest but also to avoid the ineviable observation of some other overly zealous reader who would point out a particular species of arctic fish that has been observed behaving normally in not crystalized water at -6 due to some special proteins it can produce.
It seems to me that on the X-Files, there was this species of alien blood that also remained in a liquid state well below freezing, too.
Or better yet Aaron could have shown up in person at the airport.
I for was hoping that Jack Bauer would get what wa coming to to him.
Contrary to what his captors told him he is not "too valuable to kill."
