Chloe's (Mary Lynn Raskub) command Arlo to 'shut it down' was a fitting ending and Jack's heartfelt goodbye pierced the soul of every die-hard fan, I think. Despite some too conveniently wrapped sub-plots, the series finale ended well.
Amid all the conspiracies, political manuvering, back-stabbing best friends, nuclear attacks, biological threats, cyber-crimes, personal losses, and a heroin addiction, Jack proved to be a man of his word. Jack taught us all how to be better people and go without bathroom breaks. Among the things we've learned over the past eight seasons...
- Always bring a change of clothes and an extra gun.
- Make friends with the nerd. They will never let you down.
- “Damnit!” is an appropriate response in all situations.
- No matter how long something takes, it will always be completed right after you need it.
- Brown leather is always in season.
- We all know a terrorist.
- If you have to know, try torture.
- America is more important that you or your problems.
- To get what you want, you should do what you shouldn't.
- A lot happens in a day.
- Food, water, sleep, and bathroom breaks are for the weak.
- Anger makes you lonely.
- Suspect everyone.
- Love is deadly.
- Man purses are hot.
- The Russians did it.
- Neglecting your child is acceptable unless they are in danger.
- Waffling = weakness.
- Trust no one.
- Two words: Full Immunity
- You'll go far being sullen and sarcastic.
- Shooting anyone in the kneecap is a reseasonable action.
- Terrorists drive American.
- Everyone is expendable.
