Thoughts:
-- So first, the U.S. government hands Josh over to a terrorist, and then orders an air strike that they know will get him killed? When this is all over, Josh and his mom are going to be able to file the biggest lawsuit in history.
-- It really takes over twenty minutes to launch an air strike against a target just ten miles off the coast? For our sake, let's hope the show made that up.
-- The biggest question of the season--and one we're not likely to get answered--is why the hell does Phillip even want Josh? He doesn't seem like an especially pleasant kid. I can't imagine why Phillip would want to be around him at all, much less to go through the trouble he has to get him.
-- Wow. That was a really cool explosion. I guess that's where this season's FX budget went to.
-- It looks like they're trying something new this season. The threat ended with about 25 minutes left, which means the rest of the episode is just wrap up. I'm not sure that's a good idea.
-- Oh, no. No. No, no, no, no, no. Come on. Please tell me we're not going to close the season out with a scene between Jack and Audrey.
-- Ugh. Worst. Season. Finale. Ever.
Jack's confirmed kills: 5 (39 for the season)
Jack's Words of Wisdom: "I just watched my father die. And I felt nothing. Do you know why? Yeah, you know why. Because that man was dead to me years ago."

Haha so very true. I can't stand the whiney characters. The ones that are always complianing to jack about something, his daughter, audrey, his brothers wife, any of his various women. I fast forward just about any scene they're in.
By the end of the episode I wish they'd just off the kid and get on with it. If someone had said 'but he's an innocent boy'one more time I would have had to stop the show and press the delete button as hard as i could.
Am I the only one that was confused why the Russians were debating waiting a few minutes before attacking an american base? Because the chinese stole technology? Is there something I'm missing? I'd like to ask a specific question about this scenario but I really don't understand the logic of any of it. It seems like they just needed something to add suspense and this is the best they could come up with.
Rant over. Your synposis made me laugh out loud this morning, thanks :)
Trying to apply logic to this season--particularly the last few episodes--is a waste of time.
By last night, I was simply nodding along with everything, because it was just easier that way.
