24 was awesome tonight. *spoilers* *spoilers* *spoilers* There is no way Renee is a bad guy, I think she was just taking Jack's advice to heart (when Jack essentially said that in the end, you have to just do what you can live with). In other words, Renee was about to torture the hell out of him. Jack will obviously be well for season 8 (I think the show will be set in NYC from what I heard). Overall, a strong season finale. You're probably right, just the look between the two, I thought they were pulling a Nina switcheroo like they did before in the season finale. Probably not though, that's probably what Renee is doing.

Like I said, I don't think that is the case but if it is, I'll be really pissed off (love Renee's character right now).

*****SPOILER******
Yeah I don't think Renee is bad at all. She's taking Jack's advice and doing what she things is right even if it means doing something wrong. Then again, Dan's theory would provide the ultimate twist. It was a powerful ending, it would have made a good series ender but I think the final season and movie capper will be solely about that Mike whatever guy they apprehended who is the head of the conspiracy.
I liked the HIMYM episode for the ending. They know how to end season finales. But I was a little disappointed in the goat story. After 4 seasons, the story was a goat beat him up? It was still kinda funny. I thought the best part of the episode was Marshall jumping. My roommate pointed out a line Ted said about how "There are 5 words men should never say." which refers to the episode about the bar where they refer to "I think I love you," "We should buy a bar," and now Marshall's "I can make that jump" (even though he does). I just like how the writers reward you for watching the show.

looks like there might be a 2nd season of Dollhouse. Also has anyone heard of the new show coming out called Brothers? It actually stars Michael Strahan.
I don't think anyone here watches it, but the finale of Supernatural was pretty good. Can't wait for next season, which I think the creators and stars are wanting to be the last to finish things up

Powerful ending to this season of "24" *spoilers* You knew Kim was going to do the stem cell transfer or whatever to save Jack. Was Renee a bad guy all along? That look she gave Coach Yoast (that's what I call him, the actor who played the chief bad guy was the coach in "Remember the Titans") indicated that she's either a.) Going to help him, b.) Going to kill/beat the ever living crap out of him. *end spoilers* Interesting, very interesting... LMAO at Coach Yoates It was an interesting ending. I thought the White House plot was the most intriguing ending. You thought after her husband's plea, she would not go through with it, but she did the right thing, and screw her daughter for putting her in that position. But anyways, I liked this season, but I would put it in the lower tier of seasons.

The first 5 seasons were all great/very good, the last two seasons have just been good. It's probably because we've seen some of the elements before the the creators are hoping you don't catch it the second time around. Still a very watchable show.

Btw, also liked the How I Met Your Mother season finale. Didn't they keep saying they would reveal who the mother was this year? And that whole thing where they brought Sarah Chalke back for one episode was dumb. Has it even been confirmed to be coming back next season?

And that whole thing where they brought Sarah Chalke back for one episode was dumb. Has it even been confirmed to be coming back next season? *SPOILERS* What the writers said is that we would have a better clue of who the mother is and they delivered on that (although they will obviously not tell us who exactly the mother is till the last episode of the series). In the final two episodes, we see hints of Ted leaving his job to become a professor and in the finale, he does just that. We are told at the end that the "mother" was in the classroom that Ted is teaching. So Sarah Chalke returning to the show did serve a purpose because it allowed Tony to ultimately offer to get Ted a job as a professor at Columbia. What we now know is that the mother cannot be Sarah Chalke (because we find out her and Tony end up happy together) and it pretty much takes Robin out of the picture completely too (although Robin was kind of already dismissed). And yes, the show will definitely be back next season. Overall, the writers are very careful about what they promise and so far, they have delivered on everything.

Cool, I'm glad the show is coming back, but I still think looping Sarah Chalke back in for one episode wasn't really necessary. I also like that apparently Ted is going to be pulling a Ross from Friends and banging one of his students next year.

Yeah, they probably didn't have to bring Sarah back but they might have wanted to keep the audience guessing by having her come back for a couple of episodes (which doesn't seem like a bad idea).
Hopefully some good things are in store for Ted next season.

*****SPOILERS*****
That 24 finale was a bit of a let down for me. The last 30 minutes, I didn't care for at all. I don't know if it was just me but that "emotional" moment that Jack and Renee shared where he says "Don't say anything at all" I just burst out laughing. It's not that I wasn't sold on their relationship but it was just so corny. Also the last plot line about the President and her daughter had no emotional resonance with me either given how much I hated the President's daughter, so I'm glad she's going to jail. All in all a pretty disappointing finale with no big shockers.
BTW did they show any previews of next season? I didn't watch it on TV, since the power went out.

No, they didn't. *spoilers* What I found bad was the thing between the cleric and Jack, that was forced. The Renee and Jack thing was a tad corny, but it wasn't too bad. They amped up the intensity of what happened to Tony when they didn't have to, instead of walking up to the gun and picking it up, Jack waited for Tony to crawl halfway to it, then shot him in the hand (?). *end spoilers*

It felt like they were stretching the plot out to two seasons and trying to milk it for all it's worth, when they could have easily finished this plot line this season.
