At the end of last season, there was an Internet
rumor going around that the
24 finale would have
Jack Bauer standing at the edge of a cliff being approached by someone who says they have a lot to talk about. That someone was whispered to be none other than
Tony Almeida, wingman extraordinaire.
Had that come to pass--had I gotten even one brief glimpse of that beloved
Cubs mug--I would have been the happiest 24 fan on the planet. I wouldn’t have cared if his return from the dead made no sense. I wouldn’t have cared if his resurrection jumped all kinds of sharks. His untimely demise was a travesty (he didn’t even get the
silent clock) and the show hasn’t been the same without him.
Highlight between stars to reveal speculation:
**There is a glimmer of hope, albeit very faint. A 24 panel at Comic Con hinted that despite dying in Season Five, Tony might return to action, possibly as a villain. The strangest part (according to My Buddy TV): they didn't seem to be joking.**Listen up, 24. Bring back our
Soul Patch, and Season Six will be forgiven. I’ll even accept the
Janeane Garofalo casting (what the...? I mean, I like her and all, but
Janeane Garofalo and Chole?). Heck, I’ll even try really hard not to roll my eyes when the new
president is revealed.
